Zhang Xiaohu put Zhu Wanqing on the bed, and Ling'er helped her change her bloodstained clothes, this person's arms and legs were injured, and it was distressing to look at.

"Go, go and save Wang Qi." Zhu Wanqing kept repeating this sentence.

"Where is he?" Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly asked.

"Donggou small mining kiln, he is in a cave, and his eyes are no longer visible." After Zhu Wanqing finished speaking, she fainted from exhaustion.

Zhang Xiaohu and Lao Yanguo were taken aback when they heard this, and the two immediately went on the road to rescue Wang Qi, who was still trapped in the cave.

"Princess, Mr. Wang, he's fine, why can't he see it?" Ling'er cried while asking, but Zhu Wanqing had already fallen asleep and did not respond.

Wang Qi is very calm here, after all, he has suffered all kinds of sins in the past six months, and he is not afraid of death now.

"Life is everywhere, it should be like Feihong stepping on slush." Wang Qi recited poetry while writing on the ground with a tree branch.

"Sister! Come here! A child's cry came from outside the cave.

Wang Qi listened to it and thought it was an auditory hallucination, so he asked loudly: "Is there someone outside?" ”

"Yes, who are you? What are you doing there? The child's immature voice made Wang Qi happy.

"I'm ...... I'm a good person, can you take me out? Wang Qi hurriedly moved his body out.

"Huzi, what are you doing, who are you talking to?" A girl's voice came, and Wang Qi sounded a little familiar.

"Sister, there's a blind man in this cave." Huzi pointed at Wang Qi and said.

When the girl looked, there was indeed a man inside, and he was covered in blood.

"Don't come here!" The girl was a little scared when she saw Wang Qi, and hurriedly took her younger brother behind her back.

"Don't be afraid, girl, Wang Qi again, is the former magistrate of Ling County, yesterday I came here to investigate this Donggou mine, and accidentally fell off the cliff to this point, please save me." Wang Qi didn't know where the person was, so he made a gesture in the general direction.

"Wang Qi? Are you the former Wang Zhixian? When the girl heard Wang Qi's name, her eyes lit up.

"Sister, who is Wang Qi?" Huzi asked.

"When Lord Wang used to be the magistrate of Lingxian County, he was a famous Qing official within a radius of 100 miles, and he was deeply loved by the people for his mastery of hoeing and helping the weak. It's a pity that since he left, we have been here day by day. The girl said as she went to help Wang Qi.

Wang Qi was a little embarrassed by her praise.

"Lord Wang, don't be afraid, I'll take you back to our Ling County." The girl's hand was holding Wang Qi's hand, which instantly made him feel like an electric shock.

"Okay, dare to ask the girl what she is called." Wang Qi asked.

"My name is Cuigu, and this is my younger brother Huzi." Cui Gu said.

"Aunt Cui?" Wang Qi's heart seemed to be rubbed vigorously by a hand, and he almost suffocated.

It's supposed to be just the same name, but the sound is too similar, what a coincidence.

Although Wang Qi could no longer see the season outside, at this time, he suddenly felt that the spring outside the pass was extraordinarily vibrant, extraordinarily energetic.

Along the way, Cuigu introduced her own situation to Wang Qi.

Their family was originally in Lingxian County, and since Wang Qi was transferred, the new magistrate was also promoted by the princess.

As a result, the entire Tong County and Ling County have been strung together into an industrial chain.

The local boss of Tongxian County opened the mine, and Lingxian County was responsible for transporting labor, and in the past six months, tens of thousands of young and middle-aged people in Lingxian County have basically been recruited to work as coolies.

"Then why are they all willing to come?" Wang Qi was puzzled.

"I said before I came that I could marry a daughter-in-law in a year, and if I worked hard for two or three years, I could go home to the local owner, but I went and found that there was no such good thing at all." Cui Gu said.

"That's not how many people were deceived, right?" Wang Qi still felt incredible.

"Only a few of the hundreds of people who went at the beginning came back, and they were probably bought by the foreman. After returning to his hometown, he immediately married and bought land, and the others were naturally red when they saw it, so they rushed to mine. As soon as Aunt Cui said this, Wang Qi finally understood.

"Then why are you here?" Wang Qi felt that there must be some reason why this pair of sisters and brothers came here all the way.

"My brother is inside, he has been working for more than two months, and he hasn't even returned home, and we don't know if he is alive or dead, whether he has been buried in the ground, so I want to come to him today." Cui Gu said and shed tears.

"Lord Wang, you must be the master for the people of Ling County." Huzi's immature voice touched Wang Qi's heart, and he secretly vowed to eradicate the bullies in Tongling and Tongling counties in one fell swoop.

......

Zhu Wanqing slept for several hours, from day to night, and when she woke up, it was already midnight, and Ling'er was still lying beside her.

"Ling'er, I want to drink water." Zhu Wanqing felt extremely thirsty.

"Miss, you're awake." Ling'er immediately brought tea.

Zhu Wanqing took a sip of tea, and the person fully recovered. Her first thought was Wang Qi's safety.

Ling'er told her that Zhang Xiaohu and Lao Yanguo had gone to look for Wang Qi, but the two had not come back until now.

Zhu Wanqing got dressed, and looked like she was going out.

Ling'er hurriedly stopped her, "Princess, it will be dangerous for you to go out so late." ”

"They don't know the exact location, I know, I'm going to save him." Zhu Wanqing rushed downstairs desperately.

Coincidentally, at this time, Zhang Xiaohu and the others came back.

"Little Tiger! Where is he? Zhu Wanqing hurriedly asked.

Zhang Xiaohu didn't speak, just pushed them back into the room.

While Zhu Wanqing and Ling'er were anxiously waiting, Zhang Xiaohu took out a few bloody bandages from his pocket, which were Wang Qi's.

"We did find the cave, but the man was no longer there, and there was a trail of footprints leading to the east, and we searched all the way, but when we reached a mud hole, the clue was broken." Zhang Xiaohu said.

"It must have been taken by the people in the mine." Zhu Wanqing thought to herself that this was over.

"I mean, what the hell are you here for? Why mess with that bunch? "The old smoke pot is also very anxious.

"Do you know the details of the people in the mine?" Zhang Xiaohu heard what the old smoke pot said, and hurriedly asked.

"Nonsense, I was digging gold when I was young, and I went to work when Tongxian first opened a copper mine, but at that time this mine was not owned by the Hua family, and then I stopped doing it when I changed owners, and went back to the town to open a blacksmith shop." The old smoke pot thought to himself, I knew that you were inquiring about the Hua family, and asked me to do it, can I go there to die?

"Then how did Hua Wuxian take over the mine here?" Zhu Wanqing asked.

"This Hua Wuzhi was originally a gangster in the nearby Huajiagou, and his uncle became a big eunuch in charge in the palace, so this Huajia will be wiped out. That Hua Wuzhi relied on his uncle to get a small official position in charge of salt mines, and later he didn't think he made much money, so he entangled a group of ruffians and hooligans, and forced the owners of those mines away by threats and intimidation, they not only occupied the original legal mines, but also opened illegal private mines, and those mines did not have to pay taxes. "The old smoke pot still knows a lot about the mining industry.

"No wonder, they dug up and flooded the tomb of King Yan." Zhu Wanqing finally had a general understanding of the ins and outs of the whole thing, and it seemed that this Hua Wuzhi not only had the crime of indiscriminate mining, but also enslaved labor and disregarded human life.

"Princess, what should we do next, should we find the person surnamed Hua to directly identify the important person, or find another way?" Zhang Xiaohu asked.

"We can't go directly, we don't have the right to investigate our current identity, I think what we can do now is to return to Beijing and let the emperor order a thorough investigation of the case." Although Zhu Wanqing wanted to rescue Wang Qi, reason told her that the lives of those miners who were still suffering were more important than the lives of Wang Qi alone.

"Isn't Mr. Wang going to ......" Ling'er burst into tears, unwilling to give up.

"Mr. Wang is missing for the time being, but it may not necessarily be captured by the Hua family, if he is really captured by the Hua family, he will not be able to live now, and no matter how much we can save him, it will be in vain. It's better to let the saint decree as soon as possible, and come here to investigate in a good name. At the same time, he can also beat the flowers well, let him take a leisurely time on the poisoning case, and don't bite people everywhere. Zhu Wanqing said this, her eyes were murderous.
