Chapter 20: Waiting
"Why did you suddenly ask about this, isn't there something going on?" Zhou Mingshu's brows were tightly knit and his lips were closed, and it could be seen that he didn't want to mention this sad matter.
"No, big brother, don't worry, I just thought of this suddenly, I want to ask my eldest brother, so as not to pay attention to it in the future, it's okay, just ask, don't care, big brother, okay, then big brother rest early, I'll leave first."
Zhou Ziwei watched Zhou Mingshu's mood fluctuate, worried that it would affect Zhou Mingshu's body, so she had to give up for the time being, forget it, these things will naturally surface at that time, what she has to solve for the time being is the matter in front of her, and now she must solve the matter of the mine as soon as possible, and help the people survive this winter.
After a hard day's work, Zhou Ziwei already felt tired, so she took a hot bath and immediately fell asleep.
Soon Zhou Ziwei fell into a deep sleep, Zhou Ziwei sat in a dream, she saw people everywhere, they were very painful, some were lying down, some were sitting on the ground, some were crying, and the people were wailing.
Zhou Ziwei ran in front of a common person and wanted to help him, but there was no way, the people died in front of her, she picked up the child again and helped the child find his mother, but what she found was a corpse, Zhou Ziwei felt very powerless, she seemed to be unable to do anything.
"Miss, miss." A gentle and anxious voice woke up Zhou Ziwei in her sleep, Zhou Ziwei was sweating profusely at this moment, and suddenly opened her eyes and saw ripples, her heart suddenly relaxed, it turned out that those just now were just dreams.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ziwei didn't understand what could make Ripples so anxious.
"Miss, are you alright?"
"It's okay, what's wrong?"
"Lord Bookkeeper is waiting for Miss at the door." Ripple said anxiously, she didn't expect this master to come like this.
"Looking for me? No, are you looking for Zhou Ziwei or Zhou Mingshu? Zhou Ziwei wiped the sweat from her forehead and got up to wash.
"No, it's the slave who said the wrong thing, it's the young master who is looking for it." Ripples took out men's clothes to help Zhou Ziwei put them on.
"Okay, I see." While dressing, Zhou Ziwei thought about why Cen Beisheng came to find herself in the morning?
After a while, Zhou Ziwei was ready to walk towards the gate of Zhou's mansion, and sure enough, she saw a slender figure, Cen Beisheng was wearing an ink-colored gown, his black hair was tied up high, his slender and white hands were behind him, and his back was straight, Zhou Ziwei couldn't help but admire, this Cen Beisheng was indeed a handsome and chic person.
Cen Beisheng turned around and happened to see Zhou Ziwei who happened to come out, "Brother Zhou." ”
"Brother Cen, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Zhou Ziwei smiled guiltily.
"It's okay, but I was abrupt, if you want to say, it should be my fault, Brother Zhou, please." Cen Beisheng stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhou Ziwei to go first.
So Zhou Ziwei had no choice but to get into the carriage, and then Cen Beisheng also got into the carriage.
"Brother Cen, this is?" Zhou Ziwei didn't understand why Cen Beisheng would come to pick her up today.
"I wanted to talk to you about the mine, but I was afraid that there would be a lot of people talking and it would be inconvenient, so I thought about talking to you on the road."
Zhou Ziwei, who was sitting opposite, nodded and motioned for Cen Beisheng to continue.
"I sent someone to investigate the mine, and it turned out that Yuan Wenjing carried a wagon of things from the mine yesterday, as for what the things were transported, we have no way of knowing for the time being, but now it seems that they have messed up with themselves, and now it is a good opportunity for us."
"Yuan Wenjing is such a person who can't hold his breath, the Yuan family will be defeated in his hands sooner or later. By the way, yesterday I went to Uncle Li's house and met a man in the mine that day, and he had already told me about the mine. ”
"In that case, would he be willing to be a witness for us?" If there is human evidence, then it is enough to find physical evidence.
"This, for the time being, he still doesn't agree, he has his concerns, so I can't force him to do something he is unwilling to do, this matter will be seen in the future, maybe there will be some turnaround."
Zhou Ziwei knew that Chen Yu was still worried about the revenge of the Yuan family in the future, after all, the Yuan family's power in Wanping County should not be underestimated, but maybe one day he would do the same thing.
"So does he know if the mine is hiding the amount of mined? Or is it some other violation of law and discipline? ”
Cen Beisheng said and lifted the curtain of the car to take a look, how long it would take to arrive.
"The mine does a good job of this, some people are left, but they don't communicate with each other, so they don't know how much is mined and how much refined iron is dissolved, but this Chen Yu is a careful person, he happens to be in the mining team, so he knows how much they have mined."
In addition, Chen Yu's father used to be a blacksmith, so he can probably estimate that the mine pays at least half of the amount every year. And according to what he said, the management of the mine does not treat the miners as human beings, and several lives have been lost this month alone, and the Yuan family's mine should be handed over just by one point. ”
Zhou Ziwei said indignantly, today she is not as angry as she was when she knew it from Chen Yu in the air, this Yuan family is indeed too much, it is okay for a gentleman to love money, but it must be taken in the right way.
"I really don't know how many things this Yuan family should have swallowed over the years, but it's a pity that it's not yours and will still spit it out after all."
"By the way, Brother Cen, I went to the countryside yesterday and found that the children in the countryside didn't have the opportunity to go to school, you naturally know how important going to school is for children, and a country can only prosper if there is a steady stream of talents."
"Brother Zhou wants to build a school in the countryside?" Cen Beisheng saw through Zhou Ziwei's thoughts at a glance.
Zhou Ziwei paused for a moment before looking at Cen Beisheng firmly.
"Now that I have become an oracle, I have to take my responsibility."
"But this matter is obviously not Brother Zhou, you can call the shots, Brother Zhou may need to ask for the consent of the county lord, but the county lord may not necessarily agree with your idea."
Cen Beisheng knew that the county lord was an ambitious person, and he was dedicated to his own career, so how could he be willing to consume human and financial resources for the sake of the people?
Zhou Ziwei nodded slightly, and it could be seen that she had already thought about everything, just waiting for the county lord's consent.
"My lord, it's here." The coachman's voice came in.
