Thirteen, Tetsuno Village

Since there are no more men in the village, where Yu Mian walked, those girls who had not left the pavilion frequently sent autumn waves, which made Yu Mian a little embarrassed.

There is no man in the first place, and there is such a handsome person, naturally it will not be peaceful, it has only been a few days, and there is more than one person who has come up to talk about the matchmaker, which makes Yu Mian a little crying and laughing.

Yu Mian was worried about going to Nanjing to find Princess Huaizhen to save the prince, and Tang was also worried.

Early in the morning of the third day, Yu Mian called Tang out in shock.

"Why did you call me out?" Tang was a little surprised, these days she also followed Yu Mian to run around, he knew everything, and there was no trace of it.

She even thinks that Yu Qian's son doesn't seem to be very good, and he is helpless about this kind of thing.

"I'm here today to take you to find the murderer." Yu Mian is full of confidence.

"Oh? So do you know who the prisoner is? Tang was a little surprised, why did he see something different from where?

Yu Mian held a rudimentary map, which showed all the terrain of the local hundred miles according to the villagers' descriptions. Then he pointed to the map and said, "With this alone, I guess there is a good chance that I will be able to find the men." ”

"Is that true?" What did Tang Jingran say a little unbelieving: "In such a short time, you can really find it?" ”

"Yes, look." He pointed to the map: "There is a big mountain thirty miles away, and I suspect that these men have gone there." ”

"Why is that?" Tang asked in surprise.

"I didn't want to tell you, but since you asked, I'll tell you."

"First of all, it's remote and uninhabited. And the closest place to this place should be the most populated there, and it shouldn't be a problem to mix a few people. To swallow up a village completely, because there is no answer to say that they are dead, so this group of people will inevitably be expelled if they appear in the city. Since the men didn't show up, and they weren't even hungry to ask for food, it was enough to show that they were being held in a certain place. So this place should not be very far away, and it is relatively hidden, and there is a lot of money, the kind of power that is pressing. ”

"So you chose this one?" Tang Jingran didn't feel anything suspicious at all: "No matter how you look at it, it's an ordinary mountain, why is it not easy to hide in other places, so you have to hide here?" ”

"This is a mine." Yu Mian just said a word, and Tang Jingran seemed to understand something.

"You mean... They've all been taken to work as coolies? ”

"Yes, I would understand if I was simply killed, but now it's a collective disappearance, and it's just a man, don't you think it's strange?"

After listening to Yu Mian's words, Tang was shocked but had other ideas, she was a person who couldn't hide things, although she knew that Yu Mian's head was much better than her own, she still couldn't help asking: "That woman can also work, why only arrest men?" ”

"Don't you know, if there is no concern, a person may not have the desire to survive, without the desire, maybe they get not only a strong labor, or maybe just a corpse."

Tang was shocked to hear this, and said with a deceptive tongue: "It's terrifying, Yu Gongzi, your head is really poisonous, if you go to be a bandit, it's hard for me to imagine what will happen to the people around me." ”

"Well, don't think about these unrealistic things. You asked me to take you, and now I see that your wounds are healing well, so I want to take you there to have a look. ”

"It's because you're too weak to worry." Tang laughed proudly twice, and didn't say anything.

Yu Mian had already prepared everything, including dry food and other things, and looked like he was really ready to go and find out.

"The trip will take about two or three days, and we will come back and discuss countermeasures with the villagers. Now it's time to find out what I real, and I have to see if it's really what I suspected. ”

"Well, I support you, I didn't expect you to be quite good-headed, but sometimes stupid." Tang was shocked to carry everything on her back, and for her, it was definitely not something she was happy to see after the things on Yu Mian's back added to the burden.

The two said goodbye to the old woman and set off, but they didn't know that outside the villagers, there were several pairs of eyes looking at the two.

"Boss, this guy is really going to our land, how is it okay? How is it explained above? ”

"It's okay, let them go, this is called heaven has a way he doesn't go, hell has no door he comes to vote, he can't complain about others."

"So what do we do?"

"Hmph, kill! Not a single one to stay! ”

"Kill them all? It's a pity that those little ladies in the village were killed, don't you bring back two for the brothers' pastime? ”

"If you want to play, it's here, before tonight, I want this village chicken and dog to stay!"

Yu Mian didn't know that just after he and Tang were shocked to leave, Tieye Village was killed in one day, and the blood flowed like a river.

When it got dark, the two finally arrived at the place marked on the map.

It is called Iron Mountain according to the locals, and it is said that it was once a place where iron ore was mass-produced. Later, I don't know why, the government gave up here, and over time no one remembered.

But when the two of them came here, it was obvious that they found something that was not in harmony with their surroundings.

The vegetation in many parts of the mountain has been visibly cut down, and the sound of metal and stone crashing can be heard. From time to time, people come and go, which has more or less confirmed Yu Mian's guess.

"It's amazing that you can guess things by the maps and other factors in the description. I really believe that you are the son of Lord Yu now..."Tang was shocked and stuck out his little tongue, and now he really admires the crown.

Yu Mian smiled: "You have always been so suspicious of me before the relationship?" You're a girl, but you're also a quick talker. ”

"I'm not suspicious of you, it's just that you're too scholarly, and it's hard for me to get used to it. But you and I have one thing in common, that is, jealousy is like hatred, and there is no room for a little sand. I think it's very valuable that you have to help the villagers of Tieye no matter what, even if you are no longer an official. We rely on a righteous word to walk the rivers and lakes, and without righteousness, we will not be able to survive on the rivers and lakes. ”

"In this way, Yu Mian is polite to meet the woman." Yu Mian really looked good, and Tang was shocked and laughed: "You idiot, you still know how to joke, it's really an accident." ”

"It's just that you don't know, I've been suffering since I was a child, although I don't have the skills of you, but doing chivalry is also what I have always wanted to do. What a wonderful life it is, but it's a pity that I'm not capable enough. ”

"Alright, don't hum here, now that I've found the enemy, I'll go and investigate. I'm doing a good job, you wait for me here, remember not to run around, I'll be back soon. Tang was shocked to give a few orders before rushing over there alone, with her light skills, if it weren't for the presence of the top master, she didn't expect that no one would find her.

When she finally got there, she saw countless caves supported by felled wooden stakes, which looked extremely shabby.

At the entrance of Dongxue are some sturdy men who resemble bandits, and they seem to be very well organized, and it seems that a relatively large organization is running.

If those villagers were arrested, Tang Jingran would not be surprised at all.

It is true that catching those villagers can increase the yield a lot, and some men can also be seen carrying slag in the open field.

"Hurry up, hurry up! If you dare to be lazy, I will take your wives into the mountains for the brothers to share, hang your mothers from a tree and beat them, so that your men will lose an arm! After saying that, he whipped the ground hard, and he could see that the speed of those men was a little faster.

"Sure enough, as Yu Mian said, this guy's ability to guess riddles is not bad, but unfortunately there are too many enemies, and I don't dare to go deeper, go back and explain the situation to him first before making a decision." Tang was shocked to think of this, and slowly retreated, she hoped to go back and find Yu Mian, Yu Mian could have a good idea for her, after all, people's brains are much better than her.

At this time, Yu Mian was actually not at ease, and sneaked over.

Looking around, no one noticed him, and the more bold he became.

"Not good!" Looking at the appearance of the mine, Yu Mian suddenly became a little uneasy: "It's so fragile, with the same digging method, I can't see that this hole will collapse in two days!" Yu Mian was secretly surprised in his heart, he saw it clearly, the wooden stakes supporting Dong Xue could not bear the weight at all, and the wanton indiscriminate digging was likely to bury the lives of all the villagers.

"Damn! It could collapse at any time. Yu Mian looked at the pillar that was a little trembling, and it was obvious that every hammer in it could cause trembling, which was definitely not a good thing.

It would have been fine if it had collapsed, but it happened to happen to me, and it was really unbearable.
