Chapter 8 Confrontation in front of the mine
"Cousin, don't worry, if your cousin has other things to do, you can go back as soon as possible, there will be no problem to take care of your brother here; Go back and tell grandpa, and please rest assured that there will be no mess in the mine. Xiao Huan, the second young master of the Xiao family, also assured the woman in front of him at this time, he wanted this woman to leave the mine as soon as possible, and he did not shy away from all the miners here, maybe we were nothing to him! It's not so much that he relies on the strength of the Xiao family to be so arrogant that he doesn't care about us miners, but he may feel that everyone here doesn't know that they are members of the Xiao family, let alone that it is their Xiao family's mine that is being mined; But the second young master of the Xiao family never thought that Hu Jingda would have recognized him a long time ago, he would definitely not have thought that there was such a "master" hidden in this extremely ordinary village in the countryside!
Seeing that the woman seemed to be leaving at this time, although I was nervous at this time, I still had to choose to stand up, I have had enough days like this, even if the Xiao family is really ruthless, kill me for today's humiliation, I will stand up today, this may be the only chance to get out of the tiger's mouth.
"This young lady, please wait a minute!" I calmed down and finally said this to the woman. I said this very loudly, and it was very abrupt and distinct in the clatter of the ore; In the mine, everyone around me who heard this sentence looked at me, and the miners suddenly stopped their work at this time, but the next moment they were all buried in mining, only Hu Jingda stood beside me and did not continue mining. Although Xiao Huan, the second young master of the Xiao family, and the big man of the minions looked surprised at this time, they didn't have too many other expressions.
"Master, do you have anything to do?" The woman also looked surprised, but she also stopped and responded to me softly.
"Master? Hehe! This master is called well, and he is worthy of being a member of a big family, and he is so polite to an ordinary ordinary person like me. I paused for a moment and continued, "May I ask Miss, are you a member of the Xiao family, one of the ancient martial arts families?" After I asked this sentence, I saw that Xiao Huan, the second young master of the Xiao family, and the minions finally changed their faces, with a very surprised expression.
"Boy! Bold, do you know who you're talking to? Don't go to work yet. The minions immediately shouted. As he spoke, he was already walking towards me, pushing me hard to drive me away at once.
"Zhang Mang stop, this master should have something to do! I am the third lady of the Xiao family. "Miss Xiao Jiasan also seemed to hear the thick anger in my tone, and immediately called the minions.
"Cousin, I know better than you about things in the mine, and you're tired from watching it all morning, so let's go and rest first! I'll take care of whatever the miner has to deal with. Xiao Huan, the second young master of the Xiao family, saw that something was wrong, and he also stopped him.
"Miss Xiao San, please listen to me, only you can handle this matter! If you go now, I will die today. "Seeing that Xiao Huan, the second young master of the Xiao family, was obstructing, I also began to get anxious, and I must not let this young lady of the Xiao family leave like this. Hearing my words, all the miners around me finally stopped their work and looked at me, and more people showed their worries about me.
"Miss Xiao San, won't you even give us this little time? Don't you want to know what your cousin has done? Don't you even care about the Xiao family's reputation? Hu Jingda also saw that Xiao Huan had a lot of sophistry at this time, and was worried that Miss Xiao would leave without the calm look she had shown before, so he immediately spoke out to stop it. The villagers who originally belonged to Toda Village and the miners who had been captured from other places also sensed that something was wrong at this time, and they all gathered around me and Jingda; But this kind of situation is not what I want to see, my original intention was for me to expose to the Xiao family inspectors what Xiao Huan, the second young master of the Xiao family, had done, but I must not involve others, at this time, Hu Jingda and the villagers of Toda Village and other miners surrounded me, which was completely unexpected by me; I can't help but worry, I have been collecting ore with them in this Xiaojia mine for half a year, everyone lives together, everyone suffers this tribulation together, everyone suffers together. I gambled my life at this time, although I really didn't want to endure all this anymore, with a little selfishness of my own, but more of a begging for a little hope of everyone's escape; I watched more and more miners who lived with me die one after another, and I had never experienced the taste of blood before, my former world was a modern civilized metropolis, and I had never heard of such cruel things that I had experienced in this dimensional world, so I never wanted to involve these people. At this time, seeing that they were all gathered around, I seemed a little anxious, if the Xiao family really didn't care about anything, and wanted to kill me to block the mouth of Youyou, it would only kill me alone, but now everyone is surrounded, if I miscalculate the Xiao family's attitude towards this matter, it is gambling on everyone's lives; Although Jingda is very sure that the Xiao family attaches great importance to their own reputation, but there are two sides in the treatment of this matter, one is that the Xiao family thought that Xiao Huan had humiliated their own lintel when they learned that their family had done such a thing, and severely punished Xiao Huan, and the Xiao family knew their mistakes and corrected them in time, and gave justice to the people of Liming; There is also a situation that the Xiao family is afraid that such a thing will show a little rumor and affect the reputation of their Xiao family, so they risk violating the taboo of the world and kill these ordinary people to completely eliminate future troubles. Therefore, in the face of the Xiao family's attitude towards this matter, Jingda concluded that it was impossible for an ancient martial arts family like the Xiao family to make the second assumption; It's very unlikely, but I don't want to take the risk.
"Boy, what nonsense are you talking about, what will surely die! And you, shut up, now everyone goes to work. Hurry up and get to work. Hearing this, the minions began to panic, and said viciously to me, Jingda and all the miners, if it weren't for the young lady of the Xiao family here, I am afraid that the whip would have been whipped on everyone a long time ago.
"Zhang Mang, you are bold, step down." Miss Xiao Jiasan also seemed to sense that things were getting more and more wrong at this time, and scolded the minions and big men. Then he said to me: "What is the matter with you, master, I have no intention of leaving, and you don't have to be afraid of Zhang Mang, is he sorry for you?" If it's really Zhang Mang's fault, I'll call the shots for you. ”
"Cousin, it seems that it is just a little contradiction between the miner and Zhang Mang, but today I let you see the joke, I can handle this little thing, you can go first!" Xiao Huan, the second young master of the Xiao family, looked at me with a cold gaze while saying to the third young lady of the Xiao family, and his eyes were full of warning.
"Second cousin, how can this be a trivial matter! It's all like this, and you still say it's a small contradiction? You don't need to say much, I will definitely tell my grandfather about this today. The third lady of the Xiao family had already shown anger at this time.
