Li Yunqing shouted all the way and was escorted away, and the people in the inn seemed to be accustomed to the scene in front of them, and no one stood up to stop it at all. Shui Ling didn't make any noise, she just quietly watched Li Yunqing being taken away, she was indeed a little scared, but more importantly, she knew that she couldn't help with Li Yunqing, since this was the case, it was better to change it.

Li Yunqing was led into a forest by two officials, he looked around and said in horror: "Two big brothers, you don't want to kill people, right?" If you want money, I have it, let me go! ”

Hearing this, the elite official sneered and said, "It's not enough to ask for your life, we will take you to work." ”

"Workmanship? What do you do? ”

"Mining!"

A cold light flashed in Li Yunqing's eyes, and then he asked stupidly, "What kind of mine to dig?" I've never done rough work before! As he spoke, Li Yunqing stretched out his little hand that was as white as jade.

Hearing this, the fat man kicked Li Yunqing and said, "Go to the place and starve you for three days and three nights, see if you can do it!" When you got to this cold county, do you still think you're the eldest young master? Tell you, the sky is high here, the emperor is far away, it is called the heavens should not be, and the earth is not spiritual, you will mine honestly, maybe you can live a few more days! ”

Li Yunqing was full of anger at the moment, and the words of the complainant had been confirmed, and the people in Hantian County were living in hell. Although he was very angry, Li Yunqing also knew that now was not the time to have an attack, he wanted to see what kind of character Wang Bo was, he could cover the sky with one hand, although he believed what he wanted in a county!

Li Yunqing thought in his heart, nodded helplessly on his face and said: "In this case, in order to survive, the boy can only keep to himself, but I don't know who we are doing on an errand?" ”

Hearing this, the two officials glanced at each other, smiled mysteriously, and said to the sturdy man: "You are naturally working for the emperor on an errand, and this mining must be approved by the imperial court!" ”

"Let it ......go" Li Yunqing was extremely angry when he heard this, and he was about to blurt out the word fart, but he was forced to hold back, and changed his words with a surprised face: "The emperor will call the troops of a county to mine, this is really incredible!" ”

The two officials obviously didn't want to say so much to Li Yunqing, and escorted him towards the depths of the woods. After walking for half an hour, the snow became heavier and heavier. Walking through the trees, the view became extremely wide in an instant. Looking up, a huge mine towers ahead. The mine is covered with snow and is snow-white throughout. There were people coming and going in the mine, and there were officials with whips in their hands urging the miners to work quickly.

When I got closer, I saw a few big characters written on the gate made of huge stones, "Snow Mountain Mine". The two officials guarding the door saw that the two sturdy men brought Li Yunqing over, and one of the older officials looked Li Yunqing up and down carefully and said: "This future life looks like a son-in-law, who can't carry thin on his shoulders and can't lift it, isn't it a waste of food to bring it?" ”

The sturdy man glanced at Li Yunqing and said, "No matter how bad it is, he is a man, he can always do some work, and it is a little bit to do a little, and it is not a waste of food to give him a few bites of food." ”

The fat man took over the conversation and said, "Isn't this Lord Wang's tightness?" Every month, each official must bring a coolie, otherwise he will have to deduct silver, and bring him to our brothers and sisters this month's heads! ”

The old servant smiled bitterly and said, "That's a good point, let's go in." ”

When he entered the mining area, Li Yunqing's anger was even greater, only to see that the coolies were yellow and thin, and the skins were like the bark of old trees, and they couldn't tell the age of these people at all. They did their job calmly, putting huge stones into the boxes they had picked, and then working in pairs to carry the stones to a distant place and pile them up. There are also many people with hammers, chisels and other tools to chisel those huge stones into pieces, and then have people put them in frames and transport them.

In the end, Li Yunqing's eyes were fixed on a cave, and there were people coming in and out of the cave. The people who came out were in groups of two, and in the middle was a huge bamboo basket, and the bamboo basket was filled with some large and small dark gray stones, Li Yunqing's eyes flashed, what is it if it is not iron ore!

Under the ancestral system, salt and iron were monopolized by the imperial court, and the people could not mine them privately, even if the local government did not have the approval of the imperial court, they could never mine them privately. If the local government wants to mine iron ore and other materials, it must be reported to the cabinet level by level, and then the cabinet will report to the emperor, and the emperor will approve it, and then report it to the local government layer by layer, so that it can be regarded as legal. Li Yunqing has been on the throne for more than three years, and he has never approved the excerpt of Jiangzhou's mining operations, let alone a small Hantian County.

The sturdy man said to Li Yunqing: "After receiving the tools, hurry up and go to work, if you are diligent, you can live for a few more days!" After speaking, he beckoned to the official who was sitting there drinking tea not far away, and then turned to leave. It didn't take much effort for two officials to carry a chisel and an awl and a box in front of Li Yunqing, glared at Li Yunqing and left, he really didn't want to say a word of nonsense.

Li Yunqing held back the anger in his heart, picked up his tools and randomly found a spot and began to tap those huge stones. After knocking for a while, he fell on an old man who looked to be around fifty beside him, looked left and right to see that there were no guards before he asked in a low voice: "Old man, what are the ores we mined and these huge stones for?" ”

Hearing this, the old man stopped what he was doing, carefully looked at Li Yunqing, and said helplessly: "You said that you are a rich son, you don't want to die, what are you doing here in Hantian County?" I'm so impatient! ”

Li Yunqing smiled bitterly in his heart: "If you knew that I sent it to the door myself, I would probably go crazy." Thinking like this in his heart, Li Yunqing said aggrievedly: "Uncle, even if I die, I want to be a ghost, who are we doing as coolies?" ”

When the old man heard this, he whispered: "That's right, it's better to be a ghost who understands that the ghost is dead and sue the Lord of Yama!" As he spoke, he raised his head and looked around, making sure that no official was coming to this side before he continued: "Our Snow Mountain Mine is said to be working for my Daqian Imperial Court, but in fact, the iron ore and these stones dug out were sold to the monsters on the other side of the mountain at a low price, oh, what kind of people from the Bing Proud Country!" ”

When Li Yunqing heard this, Wang Bo, the county commander of this cold county, had already had murderous intentions, maybe there were more people who should be killed, otherwise how could a small county order do such a thing as fornicating with foreign countries to exterminate the nine clans! Behind this scene, it may be a bigger conspiracy, since it has been found here, it is necessary to dig out the biggest moth behind it, if not, it may shake the country's foundation!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Li Yunqing continued to ask the old man in a low voice: "Uncle, does that Lord Wang often come to the mine?" ”

"Come on, come often. This mine is the treasure of Wang Yanluo, and he has to come to see it once in five or six days. The old man smashed the boulder in front of him and said, "Not only is Wang Yama coming, but sometimes he will bring some people in purple robes over, and his attitude towards those people is very respectful. ”
