How can there be such cruel people in the world, just for their own interests, trap these miners alive under the mines. The only person who was saved, Xue Rou once thought that he hoped that he could expose those sins and give them justice. Who would have thought that he would have his tongue cut out, he hissed and pointed at his tongue with his mouth open, but he couldn't say anything. The half of the bright red tongue seemed to reveal his past suffering, and it was hard to forget.

Xue Rou's throat tightened, and the corners of her eyes were slightly sour, she put her voice softer, not wanting to hurt the person in front of her, "Can you hear me now?" ”

He nodded.

Xue Rou breathed a sigh of relief, at least not being born deaf and mute, and she said, "Who cut out your tongue?" ”

He was stunned, and suddenly danced excitedly, but Xue Rou had no way to understand what he meant. After all, he was not born deaf-mute, he had never learned sign language, and he could not judge by his movements.

Xue Rou took out a pen and paper, "Do you know how to write?" Why don't you write it down on a piece of paper and show it to us, maybe we can avenge you. ”

The man in front of him was suddenly a little embarrassed, his expression stiffened, and after a long time, he lowered his head, he couldn't write.

Perhaps the only opportunity to provide evidence for revenge was missed. But he was very unwilling, so many people died in the mines, and he survived alone but couldn't say anything. A big man actually fell into tears silently. And there was a girl standing in front of her.

Xue Rou squatted down and handed him a soft square scarf, "I know what you're thinking. Don't be embarrassed, everyone will be sad, no one rules that men can't cry. What's more, if you don't feel sad that so many people have died, I have to wonder if you are cold-blooded. ”

She sighed, "You can rest here first, and when your injuries heal, I will tell you if there is a result." By the way, what's your name? ”

The man swiped his black fingers on the handkerchief and wrote out a nine-character character. It was the only name he knew.

Xue Rou laughed, "Then, I'll call you Xiao Jiu." You should have a good rest first. ”

Xue Rou led the door and saw Yuan Junfeng waiting for her at the door, "How is it?" Did you ask something? ”

Xue Rou shook her head, "His tongue was cut in half, and he couldn't read, although he knew what happened, he couldn't say it, and I couldn't understand his body language." ”

Yuan Junfeng punched the tree with hatred, "Why is that person so vicious!" I even cut my tongue! ”

Xue Rou said, "Yes." I don't think his injuries are too serious, and there should be no danger to his life, so let's go find Gu Wen now. ”

The three of them met in Gu Wen's mansion, and Xue Rou simply told Gu Wen about the miners he saved, and saw that he was also as angry as he asked, and hated his incompetence more for failing to save people.

Gu Wen said, "Although Gu Cai is dead, and I was still a little sad at the time, but now that I see these people so pitiful, I can't wait to take out his corpse and whip it a hundred times." ”

Xue Rou poured him a cup of tea and pushed it over, "That's not necessary, the person is already dead, what's the use of being angry again?" Or to find clues from the living. Are you sure Gu Cai was involved in this matter? ”

Gu Wen nodded heavily, "I'm sure that he must have been involved in the private creation of official silver before his death." His Majesty found the official silver in the burden left by Aunt Liu, which is somewhat different from the one produced by our Supervision Division. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have been eyeing Gu Cai. ”

Yuan Junfeng groaned, "Since this is the case, there must be other people's promoters behind it." Gu Cai's death sounded the alarm for them, and they were busy destroying the evidence. We have just searched and there are people to destroy the evidence, and the power of the people behind it is not small, at least there are many people who are surveilling, and they are distributed in various places. ”

Xue Rou nodded, she agreed with Yuan Junfeng's statement, "I think so too." It's inevitable that there will be complicitions, but it will take a little skill to catch them by the tail. It is understandable that there are people and eyeliner planted in the silver mine, but you entered the palace alone to meet Your Majesty, how can you be sure that we must go to search the mountain. There is a link in the middle except for errors. ”

"Do you suspect that His Majesty has eyeliner on his side?" Gu Wen asked rhetorically.

Xue Rou nodded heavily, her fingers tapping on the tabletop, "It should be like this, otherwise they wouldn't have come so fast." It's just that I don't know who this eyeliner is and who it is, so I can start from here to find evidence. ”

This is not just a matter of privately making official silver, the little emperor has a spy by his side, which will directly threaten his life, and this spy must be found and eliminated, otherwise no one will rest assured.

Yuan Junfeng proposed, "In that case, let's lure the snake out of the hole." Since they are always with us, they must know what we say to Your Majesty. The reason why they are so arrogant now is that they think that the entire mine has been destroyed, and if they hear that there is still a living, they probably won't be able to sit still. ”

"With the degree of ruthlessness of their hearts, they may have to assassinate themselves themselves, and they will not be left alive."

Gu Wen nodded, "That's fine, deliberately releasing news to disrupt the line of sight, and also let them mess with themselves, so that they can better find the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

Xue Rou said, "Since I want to do it, then I will go to meet Your Majesty immediately." ”

Yuan Junfeng accompanied Xue Rou into the palace, the little emperor hadn't seen her for a long time, although his face was still calm, but his curved eyebrows and eyes had already shown his happiness, "Sister Xue, how did you think about it?" ”

Xue Rou smiled and said, "Your Majesty is blaming me for this." ”

The little emperor looked at the two of them standing together, not like they were going to have a long talk, but they didn't sit down, as if they were going to leave in the next second.

He sighed, "Just say whatever you have to say." ”

Xue Rou snapped her fingers, "Your Majesty is really smart." ”

"I do have something to report to Your Majesty this time. Didn't Your Majesty ask Gu Wen to investigate the matter of the silver mine? We also went, and found that the silver mine had already been destroyed by the people who had learned the news, but we found a living miner in it, who was now being kept in the house, and when he got a little better, he might be the strongest evidence for us. ”

The little emperor was overjoyed, "This is naturally excellent!" ”

Xue Rou glanced at the little official who was grinding ink next to him, "Your Majesty, do you want to write?" ”

The little emperor said, "I occasionally practice calligraphy, how about it, Sister Xue wants to guide me?" ”

Xue Rou hurriedly retired, "My two dogs, crawling words, still don't come out to offer ugliness." ”

Xue Rou and Yuan Jun returned to the house, but they kept their vigilance, "Is there anyone following behind?" ”

"Nope."

"That's okay, they'll always know anyway."

As soon as Xue Rou went back, she went to the mute miner's room, held his hand, and said softly, "You can rest here for the past two days, we will find the murderer to avenge you." ”

Xiao Jiu looked at her suspiciously, she didn't understand that she had already said this once, why did she have to say it a second time. But it was always kindness, he smiled and nodded.

Naturally, this is not for him, but for some people to know, and he specially explained that he wants to sleep here at night.

Xue Rou came out of the room, everything seemed normal, she specially stretched her waist and looked at Yuan Junfeng who was practicing swords in the courtyard, "Brother Yuan." ”

Yuan Junfeng looked back at her, his eyebrows flew into his sideburns, very handsome, Xue Rou reached out and hugged his neck, and took a sip, very crisp.

But Yuan Junfeng was a little embarrassed, "What to do?" ”

Xue Rou said confidently, "I haven't kissed for a long time, what's wrong with kissing?" I'm afraid I'm rusty with technology. ”

This time, he was naturally grabbed by Yuan Junfeng into his arms and rubbed for a long time. Xue Rou obviously felt that the surveillance gaze was gone, and she was relieved, but she was caught absent-mindedly by Yuan Junfeng, took a hard bite, and then indulged in this kiss of theirs, until she pushed people away, she was still a little annoyed, "You obviously know that I am diverting their attention." ”

Yuan Junfeng looked satisfied, "It's Rou'er who said that the technique is rusty, and I have to practice it too." ”

Xue Rou didn't bother to pay attention to him, a big hooligan, and simply went directly to make up for sleep. There is a high chance that an assassin will attack at night, and it is key to get a good night's sleep first. Yuan Junfeng hugged her and slept shamelessly.

Late at night, sure enough, someone quietly jumped down from the wall of Yuan's mansion, holding a knife in his hand. He lurked here for a little night, until everyone had fallen asleep, and even the lantern at the door had been extinguished, and then he rolled off the wall.

The order given to him by the master's family was to kill people and kill them, and to do it cleanly, and of course to give more money. No matter what the identity of the other party is, for the sake of money, he dares to break into the General's Mansion.

However, when I saw the mute shouting during the day, I also felt a little pitiful, but he was a killer, and the killer's duty was to kill, so he was only pitiful for a moment and decided to kill the killer.

The killer poked a small hole through the window, peeked inside, and made sure no one else was there, before opening the door with his scabbard and rolling in.

There was still a candle burning next to the bed, and he quietly blew out the fire and walked to the bed. Seeing that the red quilt was wrapping a figure, even covering his head, he looked very frightened, and even covered himself so tightly when he slept.

The killer raised his knife, and the moonlight came through, printing a silver light, and he shouted that he was offended, and then stabbed down, followed by the second and third stabs, and stabbed more than a dozen in a row, and people should be dead.

Only then did he put his mind at ease, wiped his sweat, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could so many knives go down without making a sound at all? Even if you fall asleep, you should at least snort, right?

The killer suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and he lifted the quilt to find that there was a straw pillow wrapped underneath, and he stabbed it so many times, but it was only a small piece of straw that was exposed.
