"That's enough, this official has always only recognized the facts, but it doesn't matter who the backer of your mine is!" Governor Zhao directly interrupted Pang Zi's words, and said righteously: "It is the imperial merchant who reports to the official today, no matter which mountain your mine is backed by, this official will still do business!" ”

He also pointed at Pang Zi's nose and scolded: "This official told you that even if the Son of Heaven broke the law, he was guilty of the same crime as the common people, don't think that if you are rich and powerful in the mine, you can ignore the law of our dynasty, what, is it possible that the laws of the court are only set up for the common people?" ”

Because he was too excited when he spoke, Governor Zhao's old face turned red.

Pang Shi is not a fool, she glanced at Pei Xuanling beside Zhao Zhifu, and saw that the other party was noble.

Governor Zhao said that this was just an imperial businessman, but in fact, she didn't care about it even if it was an imperial businessman.

But being scolded by Governor Zhao like this, she suddenly sobered up a lot, and the whole person became cautious.

"The prefect has taught me a lesson, it is a woman with long hair and short knowledge, and I ask the prefect to forgive me." Ponzi hurriedly saluted and made amends.

Governor Zhao snorted coldly, and left with his sleeves.

His carriage stopped near here, and Governor Zhao first said to Pei Xuanling: "Third Master, after this matter is clarified, this official will let people go to the inn to pass a message to you, and you can wait at the inn." ”

"Then there's Lord Lao." Pei Xuanling made a gesture towards the prefect of Zhao.

Governor Zhao nodded slightly, and left in the carriage.

After the prefect of Zhao took the officers and soldiers away, Pei Xuanling first instructed Huang Dechang a few words, and then left the mine with Jiang Shishi on horseback.

Yu Bing escorted the old Taoist priest and sat in another carriage, while Huang Dechang and the others rode horses.

On the carriage, Pei Xuanling saw Jiang Shishi's willow eyebrows frowning slightly, and couldn't help asking: "What, what do you think about this mine?" ”

"......" Jiang Shishi nodded solemnly, "When I was talking to those miners before, I found that this Zhao Governor's spearhead was wrong, and when I saw him talking to that Pang Niangzi, I felt more and more that he was wrong." ”

Pei Xuanling looked at the woman with a smile, "You can tell him what's wrong." ”

Jiang Shishi: "Think about it, Governor Zhao is the prefect of Shu and is in charge of the government affairs of Shu, and those miners will be happy when they hear that the local prefect is coming, because Governor Zhao, as a parent official, will definitely make decisions for them." ”

"But they heard that Zhao Governor took people to inspect the mine, not only did they not be happy, but they looked insensitive, obviously, Zhao Governor is not only the first time to bring people to investigate the mine, presumably they are talking about the official mansion that went through the motions, Zhao Governor is one of them."

Even the largest local government is in collusion with the mines, and it is conceivable that other governments are not much better.

Even if there are so many people who want to be good officials, with the pressure of the upper peak like Zhao Zhifu, it is estimated that they have to go down the wrong path.

"......" Pei Xuanling quietly listened to the woman's analysis, occasionally nodding in affirmation of her statement.

Jiang Shishi: "Isn't there several masters in the mine, a huge mine, one or two masters are not there, and one of the masters is not there, obviously someone has reported to them in advance."

"And this time I came to the mine, except for our own people, only the local government knows, and it is estimated that Zhao Zhifu gave a message to those mine owners."

"And the Pang lady just now, she is just the favorite concubine of one of the mine owners, so she dares to angrily scold Zhao Zhifu in public, in my opinion, either Zhao Zhifu usually does not receive less benefits from the mine, or the backer behind the mine is enough for her not to take Zhao Zhifu in her eyes."

Pei Xuanling: "......"

Jiang Shishi: "The point is that Zhao Niangfu reprimanded that Pang Niangzi, although he said righteous words, iron-faced and selfless, in fact, he was waking up Pang Niangzi, your identity is not ordinary, that Pang Niangzi is quite smart, she immediately changed her attitude and apologized to Zhao Governor's Mansion." ”

In the end, Jiang Shishi pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course, this is just the opinion of the concubine woman......"

"What you say is reasonable." Pei Xuanling said with certainty: "Lone and your thoughts are basically the same. ”

Long before he saw Governor Zhao, he suspected that the local government was inactive.

Otherwise, the government would not allow the Taoist priests to cheat in Shu and rob the people's daughters.

Therefore, he deliberately reported to the official to test the government's reaction.

Unexpectedly, he directly deceived the local prefect.

It stands to reason that with his status as an imperial businessman, he doesn't have so much face to let the prefect personally come forward to help him investigate the matter.

But Governor Zhao came forward in person, and it is estimated that it is mainly for the face of the mine.

Coupled with the words and deeds of Zhao Governor's Mansion when he searched the mine, he was even more certain that Zhao Governor's Mansion was colluding with the mine owner.

Jiang Shishi: "Then what are you going to do next?" ”

"Lone has already asked people to follow that Pang Niang, see if they can follow the vine, find those mine owners, and then find out the backers behind them."

Jiang Shishi: "And then? ”

Pei Xuanling: "Then we can leave Shudi, inspect the water conservancy in the next few areas, and leave to return to Beijing!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Shishi nodded, thoughtful......

Now that the lights are blind, the top priority is to find an inn to rest.

Since I entered the city today, the inn from yesterday must not be good.

That night, the prince and the others changed to an inn.

The inn was found by Yu Bing and Huang Dechang together, and the two explored the way in front first, and then led the way in front.

Before going to the inn, Jiang Shishi rummaged through the carriage and found a baggage.

Then, she lifted the curtain and said to Huang Dechang: "Huang Dechang, this Shu land is too chaotic, not only do I like to rob people's daughters, but I also like to catch strong men to go to the mine to work as coolies, we still have to guard against it at night." ”

Speaking of this, she threw the burden to Huang Dechang, "Here is an antidote that can be used to treat the drug or sweat, you give each of them a few packets, the antidote is in the form of powder, one pack at a time, once a day in the morning and evening, just take it with boiling water." ”

According to the book, shortly after the prince separated from the Zhao prefect in the mine, half of his guards were drugged at night and tied up to work as coolies in other mines.

and Yu Bing, like those innocent women, was arrested and taken to other Taoist temples and became a tool for Taoist priests to deceive.

According to the plot in the book, this happened tonight!

Therefore, before leaving the palace this time, she prepared an antidote.

"Today, Governor Zhao has spoken, the owner of this mine has robbed the people's daughters, and they will stop work from now on, presumably they will restrain a little bit, and they will not catch strong men everywhere for the time being, right?" Huang Dechang thinks that there are so many of them, are they still afraid of being drugged?

That's just a lot of work!

"Hasn't the old Taoist priest been caught by us, and now in the carriage behind him, what else is there to prevent?" Yu Bing on the side also said: "Moreover, I am different from those women who are powerless, I am a person who practices martial arts, and I am not so easily captured by them." ”
