Chapter 105: The Mine Collapses

Tao Ru noticed his absent-mindedness, so he pretended to be intimate and asked, "Master, are you troubled by something?" If you don't want to talk to your concubine, you can also share your worries, right?"

Wu Heyi was very angry when he mentioned this, and said indignantly: "He doesn't want to be this official and wants to pull me into the water, and he dares to teach me a lesson, it's really bold!"

Listening to the anger in his tone, Tao Ru hurriedly comforted him and said, "Master, don't be angry, it's not worth it for these people."

"You're still thinking about me." Wu Heyi couldn't help but be moved by the concubine's intimacy, but soon he became worried, because if Zeng Kangan wanted to offend the friend of the Jia family who helped him, the Jia family would definitely come to him, and then he would be in a dilemma.

Whether he helps or not, he can't get any benefits. To be this prefect, 4 is really a dilemma.

Tao Ru guessed his thoughts, so he tentatively said, "Master, do you want to have more power?"

Hearing this, Wu Heyi hurriedly covered her mouth in surprise and said warningly: "This kind of thing can't be talked about, if someone with a heart listens to it, I won't be able to eat and walk around."

Tao Ru immediately nodded.

However, this sentence was indeed very tempting to him, so he let go of Tao Ru and asked cautiously, "What do you mean by this?"

Tao Ru saw that Wu Heyi was hooked, so he said his plan regardless of the side: "Don't tell the master, the concubine's mother's business has been lucky recently, and she can't help but improve, and she has also found a backer, that is, a prince in the imperial capital. If we are protected by him, are we still afraid that these troublesome people will be troubled?"

This sentence made Wu Heyi extremely surprised, and at the same time doubted the letter, because Tao Ru had no ability to climb to him, and now he would be begging on the street, how could he have the ability to have a relationship with the prince in the imperial capital?

Seeing that Wu Heyi didn't believe it, Tao Ru said with great certainty, "Master doesn't believe it? When did the concubine deceive the lord, if you don't believe it, you can write to the prince to confirm it, lord."

Seeing that she had a firm attitude and dared to confirm it, Wu Heyi reluctantly believed it.

Tao Ru wanted to persuade Wu Heyi to agree, but Wu Heyi was still a little hesitant, because after all, Ji Changye was here, and his identity was the regent, and he didn't want to please him, but he went to seek refuge from others. Look at the book

It's certainly not a good thing to offend him.

Seeing Wu Heyi's embarrassed face, Tao Ru had no choice but to grit his teeth and tell the secret that he was going to use as the last bargaining chip: "Master, do you know why the regent would leave the imperial capital and come here?"

This made Wu Heyi confused, after all, the life of the Venerable Master in Dijing was not enough, how could he come to this remote town in a good manner.

Tao Ru approached Wu Heyi, and in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being listened to by others, he continued very mysteriously: "I heard that the prince was poisoned by a strange poison in his body at the beginning, and it was difficult to cure it for a while before he came here."

Hearing this, Wu Heyi's expression became flustered, although there were only the two of them here, he still felt that their conversation was overheard by others, and he was afraid in his heart to know more.

But Tao Ru only seemed to know this, but this was enough to shock Wu Heyi for a long time.

To the point where the regent can be poisoned, and there is no cure, what should be the identity of the person who poisoned him? What are the means?

Speaking of which, Wu Heyi was much less afraid of Ji Changye. Because not many people know the reason why he came here, he must have a mysterious whereabouts and don't want to be exposed, so even if he wants to do something to himself, he has to think twice, and he has no opportunities and means at all.

In this way, he couldn't help but have some impulses to agree to the prince in the imperial capital that Tao Ru said.

But under Tao Ru's expectant gaze, he still shook his head and said, "I will think about this matter after I go back, remember today's events, what we said today, don't mention it to others, don't leak it out, do you know?"

After the hope was shattered, Tao Ru nodded a little sneeringly.

Just as Wu Heyi was about to put these troubles behind him and make out with Tao Ru, the people under his hands suddenly came in a hurry.

"What's the hurry? It's not on fire again." Wu Heyi suppressed the anger of being disturbed, urging his subordinates to say something quickly, and leave to delay his affairs if there was nothing to do.

The subordinate shrank back, and said with some cowardice, Wu Heyi, "Master, something happened to the mine under your hands......

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Heyi interrupted him with a serious expression, and after letting go of Tao Ru, he got up and walked out and said, "Go and talk about this matter in detail in my study."

Tao Ru suddenly became anxious, and chased after him and asked, "Master, what are you ......?"

Thinking of appeasing her, Wu Heyi sighed helplessly, patted her on the shoulder and said, "I'll deal with something, you go and do your own thing first, go out and buy some rouge gouache, or go to the play, I'll come back in the evening, be obedient."

Tao Ru is not a person without eyesight, and at this point, she can only pretend to be empathetic and nodded, and said with concern: "Then master, pay attention to your body, don't be in a hurry to get angry, get angry."

"Or you feel sorry for me, wait for me." Seeing that she was so caring, Wu Heyi couldn't help but feel a warm current flowing through his heart, because there were still important things to do at the moment, so Wu Heyi didn't stay and left.

After returning to the study, Wu Heyi closed the door of the room and asked, "Tell me about it, what's going on in the mine?"

At this time, the subordinate also relieved his strength, and did not dare to delay his reply: "It is the mine in the east of the city that has collapsed, and several miners who are mining have been buried underneath, and they are now digging out."

Hearing the news, Wu Heyi immediately panicked, slapped the table and said, "Is there anything wrong with that mine in the south of the city?" He didn't care about the few people buried under the mine, but now he was more concerned about how much silver taels he would lose if the mine collapsed.

"Everything is fine in the mine in the south of the city, nothing has happened, don't worry, my subordinates have sent someone to guard it, and there will definitely be no accidents." Hearing the words of the next person, Wu Heyi put down his hanging heart.

Because he was a prefect, and these mines were handed over to him by the imperial court, he couldn't sit idly by and ignore what happened, and he didn't even show his face, so he got up and asked people to prepare a carriage and came to the mines in the east of the city.

Luckily, it's a long way from town, otherwise it would have caused panic if the people had known about it.

"The prefect has arrived! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The subordinates rudely opened up a way for the miners who were gathered outside the mine to help save them, and Wu Heyi, who got off the carriage, swaggered over.

The miners didn't dare to say anything now, so they could only hang their heads and listen cautiously.

Looking at the entrance where the collapse was very serious, Wu Heyi let go and felt distressed, because it meant that a lot of white flowers and silver were gone.

"Have you been rescued?"

Only then did Wu Heyi remember to pretend to care about the miners, and the response he got was the sad denials of the others.

"Then why don't you find someone to save you? Let's go!" Wu Heyi pushed them anxiously, and what he didn't notice was that several figures came from not far away, and several of them were dirty and dressed in coarse cloth, and they were helped to the side.

"By the time you find someone, I'm afraid something will already happen."

Hearing the familiar voice, Wu Heyi looked in surprise, and when he saw Ji Changye's figure here, he was very overwhelmed and surprised.

Ji Changye was very dissatisfied that his parents, who were ordinary people, had something to do at this time, and he was panicked and didn't do anything practical at all.

And when he got the news, he rushed to rescue the trapped miners, if he hadn't come in time, I'm afraid there would have been a few lives here.

Wu Heyi hurriedly put away his surprise, bowed over to meet him, and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, Weichen was stumped by some things, and he just learned about it, but he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly came over, so he didn't bring someone over."

Listening to his justification, Ji Changye's expression became even more indifferent, but at the moment it was not a matter of whether he was competent or not, the top priority was to clean up this place, lest there were miners buried under this and they did not find out, thus causing a big disaster.

Seeing that Ji Changye ordered his subordinates to continue digging deeper, Wu Heyi suddenly felt weak and scared. Because although this mine was personally handed over to him by the imperial court, he didn't care about it after it was delivered, and he took care of everything, so he became greedy, and he manipulated the taxes of the mine, and filled his own pockets and put part of it into his own purse.

If Ji Changye investigates carefully, this matter will definitely be exposed, even if there are no people trapped and no accident happens, he will not be able to escape death, this black gauze hat really can't be kept.

So he definitely couldn't let this happen.

"Lord Wang, this kind of thing is too troublesome, why don't you ask the rescued miners if anyone is trapped below, so it can be easier?" This is an abacus made by Wu Heyi, the mine collapsed suddenly, everyone was busy escaping by themselves, how could they pay attention to others. It was really because of this loophole that he secretly rejoiced.

Ji Changye did not refuse to agree, but he did not order his subordinates to stop, which made Wu Heyi unexpected and a little anxious.

"Excuse me, are there anyone trapped under this mine?" Ji Changye walked up to the few people who had been rescued not long ago and asked.

At this time, Wu and Yixin in the back were about to jump to their throats, and he hurriedly glanced at a few people, praying in his heart that they could know what they meant, that is, not to let them talk too much, and they were the only ones trapped.

Several miners didn't know Ji Changye, and they thought that Wu Heyi was the biggest official here, and they were afraid of losing their jobs, so they could only lie with their majesty, saying that no one else was trapped below, only them.

Ji Changye was afraid that they would make a mistake and asked again, but the answer he got was much the same, so he also believed in his heart that he was not still trapped.

Wu Heyi walked up to Ji Changye's side at this time and said, "Lord Wang, you should leave the matter here to Weichen, and Weichen will definitely be able to settle the injured people. It's windy and dusty here, so don't suffer from the cold." He almost said something about the strange poison in Ji Changye's body, but fortunately he reacted quickly.

Since their attitudes were so firm, Ji Changye couldn't say anything, so he could only nod and then call Changfeng to let everyone go home, and he was ready to leave.

Wu Heyi couldn't help but be happy, because sending Ji Changye away was equivalent to sending away the plague god for his business. Then he sent the carriage away.
