A group of officers and soldiers who usually do power and fortune, now they are beaten one by one with blue noses and swollen faces, Ye Che and the three of them took everyone away, and Xiuyuan also discarded the whip and followed.

The foreman was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he couldn't say a word, so he just let people follow him to see who was sacred, and he dared to break ground on the head of the Beijing official.

Ye Che placed the workers in a ruined temple, and he asked them about the construction site, the reason for their frequent deaths, and the legend of the river god. They had seen the worker fall from a height and die today, but he knew that this was not the only cause of death, and this imperial tomb should not be so simple.

"Legend has it that there is gold in this mine, but we have been digging for so long and we have not seen it." A dark-skinned man said.

"Are the people who die every day the same people who work with you?" Ye Che asked.

"No, there are a lot of corpses that I don't know where they came from, they come out of the mountains, there are several of them every day, the flesh and blood are blurred, and I feel terrible when I see them." The man in a tattered light blue dress said, his face frightened.

"The mule has been in there, mule, tell me where it is?" A big man suddenly remembered and pointed to a thin middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man, known as the mule, shrunk his shoulders and looked a little dazed, and he said in a snort, "It's pitch black inside, and you can't see anything." I brought the food to the entrance of the cave, and I was not allowed to go in. "The last time I went, it was because the officials were too busy to ask him to help deliver food, so he had the opportunity to go to the construction site over there once.

Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Once I heard a few Jingcha say that the things dug up now contain a lot of gold, I didn't care about it at that time, but now when I hear you say, I remember, is it true that there is a gold mine?" ”

Yang Shaolun said: "If this is the case, then it can explain why you have to risk the crime of defrauding the monarch and falsely preach the holy decree, just because this is a big gold mountain." And in order to hide people's eyes, they built a dam, and when they died, they said that the river god was the devil, so that everyone would turn their eyes away and not pay attention to his gold mine. ”

"It's just digging for gold, why do people die so often?" Xiuyuan asked.

"Why not, where is it dark, there are many miasma, and there are poisonous snakes, and it is a long time to work without rest, and it is difficult not to die." The old man said angrily.

Everyone was silent, there was indeed such a situation in the deep mountains, Xiu Yuan looked at Ye Che and asked, "Are you really sure that they are falsely transmitting the holy decree?" ”

"The Queen Mother is coming soon, and you will know the truth when the time comes!" Ye Che forced a breath and said, remembering what the shopkeeper said, that Lin Boya grew up here since he was a child, and he was proficient in the terrain, and it was not impossible to occasionally discover this mine when he was young, and he was unable to mine when he was young, but he was silent, which shows how deep this person is.

Everyone was a little uneasy, but also a little excited, there was a share of ** in their hearts, constantly surging, under the bonfire, everyone's eyes emitted a strange light, and there was desperate excitement.

Ye Che and Yang Shaolun stayed in the broken temple to protect the workers, and the demon king went back to the inn to meet Xing'er and others, the demon king relayed today's experience, and heard that Ye Che was whipped by someone, Xing'er's face suddenly sank, and she took the case: "Che was whipped, I, who was a lady, was already distressed, those who were beaten and abused, but they all had parents and relatives, and their relatives saw them being treated like this, how heartache should it be?" If you don't accept these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how can those unjust souls who died in vain calm the resentment in their hearts? ”

"What's Che's plan now?" Lin Haihai asked.

"He told the workers that the Empress Dowager was coming soon, and asked everyone to wait in the ruined temple, but I guess those officers and soldiers will go to embarrass their families, which is a bit troublesome, because we don't know where their families are, and we can't protect them." Demon King Road.

Xing'er pondered for a moment, then called the shopkeeper in and asked solemnly, "Is there a garrison in Changzhou?" ”

"There are 30,000 naval troops in Sujiang, about fifty miles away from here, and they are General Yang's subordinates, and he sent troops to garrison them after the three feudatories were eliminated." The shopkeeper hurriedly replied that he had also heard about the things on the construction site today, and faintly felt that there were several big people living in his shop.

"Shopkeeper, let me ask you something, is there a legend of a gold mine in Changzhou?" The Demon King asked suddenly.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and smiled and said: "The ancestor has such a rumor, but it is just a rumor, someone went in to probe, but nothing was found, but in that miasma filled the place, many people were killed and injured, so everyone did not dare to go in, and the legend continued to be a legend, Zhou Boya once followed the adults to go in when he was young, and at that time more than 20 people went in, only he came out, this kid is indeed a big life." "The scourge has been left for thousands of years, and that's probably how it came about.

"Is there such a thing?" The Demon King pondered.

Xing'er thought for a moment and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, there are some things I want you to do!" ”

"Madame, please." The shopkeeper's upright expression looked at Xing'er and said.

"Take my token and take a trip to the garrison, and let them send ten thousand soldiers and horses. Remember, arrive before dawn tomorrow! Xing'er looked at the shopkeeper with a calm and sharp gaze.

The shopkeeper took the token majestically, only glanced at the phoenix, and then immediately knelt down, and Xing'er held him up, "Don't make a noise, go immediately!" ”

The shopkeeper was excited, "The villain will go immediately, and he will definitely bring the army back before dawn tomorrow." After that, he bowed his waist again, didn't dare to face Feng Yan anymore, and slowly withdrew!

Lin Haihai asked, "Why don't you go there yourself?" Even if he rides a horse, he is not as fast as you! ”

"After the scene at the workshop, presumably the men of the officers and soldiers had already found their families, and in order to cause more casualties, we must rescue these people and join them." Xing'er analyzed.

"That's right!" Long Yingxuan had been sitting there calmly and quietly, and now she echoed Xing'er's words, she stood up and looked at the Demon King, "You go back to the broken temple first, and we will save people." ”

"Okay, be careful!" The Demon King seemed to be admonishing the three of them, but in fact he was just saying to Long Yingxuan.

Xing'er opened the window, the sky began to be black again, the rainstorm was coming, the wind swept up the residual leaves all over the ground, and quickly swept across the long street, "You have to go out immediately, and if it's too late, there will be changes!" Xing'er said expressionlessly.

The three of them flew over Changzhou in rags, and they were one step too late after all, and the families of those officers and soldiers had already been quickly captured and used to blackmail the workers.

Many homes are in shambles, there is no one on the streets, and a storm is coming.

The Changzhou Mansion Prison is already overcrowded, and even the women and children who have been beaten are lying in the corridor, crying and cursing resounding all over the day, Lin Chen, the former governor of Changzhou, angrily looked at his former subordinates who are now viciously abusing the common people, "You all stop me, they are all old and weak women and children, how can you do it?" ”

"Lord Lin, this is the Queen Mother's order, and we have nothing to do!" A servant said in a strange manner, "I want to persuade you not to feel sorry for others, or think about how you will die?" ”

"Bastard, bastard!" Lin Chen is a scholar, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, and now he really sighs that he is useless as a scholar, and the master and the arrester who were taken in custody together all persuaded: "Don't be angry, adults, these people will be harvested sooner or later." ”

"You don't know the current affairs, you are dying, and you are still ashamed, if it weren't for the past colleagues, many times in front of adults to speak for you, you would have died a long time ago, can you still eat, drink, live and live here?" The servant stepped on a woman's sternum and said proudly, the woman screamed, the corners of her mouth oozed blood, and looked at the servant in pain, and the little boy on the side rushed up, but was kicked by the servant and flew out, and fell to the ground unable to move.

Seeing this situation, although they were sad and angry, they were powerless to resist, and could only watch the family members who were bullying them.

Lin Chen beat his chest and slammed on the ground, he couldn't ask for help, he was honest all his life, he loved the people like a son, but he ended up like a field, how could he be embarrassed?

Suddenly, a few men fell from the sky, kicked the official to the corner, one of them rushed up and gave the official a violent beating, and the rest of the servants rushed up, these people are Lin Chen's subordinates on weekdays, and they have the kung fu in their hands, but they are vicious and do not enter the right path, and now they are entangled in everything with a few men, and they are not defeated.

Then after a fight, the man who saved people prevailed, and all the servants were beaten to the ground, and the man tied them up, and the first of them was the man who saved people in the mountain mine today.

He used the knife to release Lin Chen and the others, Lin Chen sighed: "Zhang San, I still blame you, it's really good that you didn't die at the hands of those people!" "After that, it's sad!

"My lord, let's go, I heard that the queen mother's demon woman is coming, and we will die with her!" The man called Zhang San had fire in his eyes and was full of anger!

"The Queen Mother is coming? Says who? Lin Chen hurriedly walked out, and the official who was imprisoned with him also came out.

"Today there was a riot at the construction site, beating Kyocha and the soldiers, and the leader said that he would sue the emperor and rescued all the people at the construction site. In my opinion, since the demon woman ordered the construction of the imperial mausoleum, what is the use of complaining? It's better to kill her, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people! Zhang San said hatefully.

"Really?" Lin Chen's face was happy: "Everyone at the construction site has been rescued?" ”

"Yes, those three big ones don't know what the origin is, and they also said that the queen mother didn't give an order, but just announced that the eunuchs patrolled the city that day, which is something that everyone sees, how can it be fake?" Zhang San snorted, he is a rough man, he will only use violence to solve things, taking advantage of the current riot, it is better to kill the demon woman, and it can be regarded as revenge for the dead people!

"When will the Queen Mother come?" Lin Chen hurriedly asked!

"I don't know, there are brothers who are paying close attention, and as soon as there is news, they will be notified immediately, anyway, once the demon woman enters the city, someone will definitely know!" Another man stepped forward and said!
