Chapter 7 Evil is rewarded
"Protest, protest, we're going to protest."
"Yes, you don't treat us as human beings."
"Said that it was twenty taels a month, why don't you count it now."
……
On this day, Wumeng Mountain, outside the mine was particularly noisy, and everyone was begging for an explanation, among the more than 300 miners, some were deceived, some were robbed, and some were condemned in prison.
"What a noise, I don't want to live anymore." Lin Wanfeng roared.
"You people, who regard human life as a mustard, will definitely not die a good death." A rough man scolded loudly.
Lin Wanfeng signaled, and the two subordinates immediately pulled out the man who was scolding just now, and cut off his head in public, and the man immediately fell to the ground, bleeding nonstop. Killing chickens and respecting monkeys is nothing more than this.
The noisy men suddenly fell silent, apparently frightened by what had just happened.
These strong men are like slaves, working all day under the dark mines, the mines collapse, infected with wind and cold, and kill people by invisible monsters, and the whipping of guards, so such things as dead people often happen. They are also commonplace.
Treating these strong men, Lin Wanfeng treated them like ants, and the bones had been piled up into a mountain, but he didn't care at all. After all, he will not waste this labor force for nothing, and the Lin family is not only a dirty business of black gold mines, smuggling, black market, and tomb robbing......
In addition to the more than 50 people who died for various reasons before, plus Feng Lun brought them, there are hundreds. The death row inmates in the prison, or some who committed some serious crimes, were escorted by the government, and Wuzhen and the seven or eight surrounding towns had already been bought by the Lin family. As for those who were deceived, the Lin family had professionals who went to ten miles and eight towns to cheat everywhere, saying that they had a good salary and considerable food. The poor and strong men couldn't resist the temptation, so they followed them to this Wumeng Mountain to do black labor.
The ancestors of the Lin family have been in this position for three generations, the area around Wumeng Mountain is the Southern Dynasty, and the junction of the Liang Kingdom, although it belongs to the Southern Dynasty, it is a three-regardless zone, so the collusion of officials and bandits, killing people and goods happens from time to time, Wuzhen has Xiao Ming in charge, Lin Wanfeng has been reined in, after all, the name of the head of the three major families is not covered. In recent years, Lin Wanfeng has co-opted forces from all sides to suppress the Xiao family everywhere, and even Xiao Ming's eldest daughter Xiao Xue had to be forced to marry Lin Xiao, and the people in Wuzhen were all unhappy about Xiao Xue.
And today's troublemaker is the strong men who were deceived by the No. 1 and No. 2 mines, the main ones who came by deception dug the No. 1 and No. 2 pits, and the three and four who were forcibly robbed, and the prisoners were No. 5 or 6, and they did it separately, which also saved some unnecessary trouble.
The strong men had already been starved to the skin, but they still had to work intensively in this dark mine all day long, calling the heavens and the earth ineffective, and they had become walking dead.
"Whoever wants to protest again will be killed." The stout man with a big knife said loudly.
When everyone heard this, their faces changed, and they had to give up and return to the mine under the whipping of the guards.
Half a month later......
"One hundred taels of gold in Cave No. 1."
"One hundred and fifty taels of gold in Cave No. 2."
"One hundred and forty taels of gold in Mine No. 3."
……
Steward Lin tirelessly thought about this month's earnings.
"Okay, okay." Lin Wanfeng touched his beard, and he was already happy.
"Lin Kun, the matter of the gold mine will be handed over to you to take care of, and I have to cultivate well now. After February, Xiao'er got married, and I had to prepare well. If something happens to the mine, I'll ask you. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I will live up to my master's expectations." Lin Kun was secretly happy.
"Then don't rush to the mines."
"Yes, I'll be on my way right away." Wang Kun went out in a gloomy manner.
In the past ten days, Xu Feng has practiced swords in addition to practicing swords, and has practiced "Hanshan Sword Spectrum" to the eighth volume. After integrating the previous ones, the internal force has also improved a lot.
Xu Feng looked at the small blue sword in his palm, he became more and more curious, why this sword would recognize him as the master, and why it had been hidden, his mother died due to dystocia, he grew up by eating hundreds of meals since he was a child, before the age of ten, his father disappeared, but six years ago he appeared out of thin air, Xu Feng would often ask him some inconspicuous questions, but Xu Tianji just smiled and didn't say anything, he didn't hear it.
Xu Feng thought about it for a few days, he didn't know anything about the Lin family, he didn't even set foot in the gate of the Lin Mansion, if he wanted to kill Lin Xiao, it was not easy to talk about, if it was only Lin Xiao, he was completely sure, after all, Lin Xiao ran to Yanchun Tower all day long, and his body was probably hollowed out long ago. Now Lin Xiao is waiting for the big wedding, so that he can live happily with Xiao Xue, since Xu Feng saw Xiao Xue's prosperous face, he naturally never forgets it, and she often appears in and out of dreams, if he can kill Lin Xiao, it will naturally be better, but Xu Feng thought about it for a few days, but he didn't come up with one, two, three.
Xiao Xue has been talented and intelligent since she was a child, and her appearance is even more captivating, since she turned sixteen, there have been many people who have come to the door to propose marriage, but she has refused them one by one. The fortune teller at the bridge said that she was a lonely star and would die alone, but no one would believe what a charlatan said.
Xu Feng took the whetstone, took out the rusty short sword from under the bed, and said secretly in his heart: "The knife is not sharp, how to kill."
Now his eyes are firm, he is no longer the timid appearance he was at the beginning, and he can learn the sword style at all, and the sword moves that he can't understand will be able to explore for a long time.
"Run, the hole is collapsing."
In the mine, there were a few black shadows, with a cloud of red mist, the black shadows flew around, and the force was incomparable, and the wooden pillars supporting the mine were all over the ground, and the stones on the mine fell like raindrops, and several men were immediately smashed to the flesh and blood. There are also men who fell in the red mist, foaming at the mouth, and their eyes were white, which was very weird.
The few surviving men walked like flying and ran out like crazy. The mine was filled with miserable sounds, screams, wails.
A loud bang also alarmed Steward Wang, Taoist priests and others outside the mine.
"What's going on? Could it be that something is wrong in the mine again? Wang Kun's face was full of panic.
"Manager Wang, it's not good, the No. 3 mine has collapsed." The guards were ashen and covered in scars.
Wang Kun asked, "What's going on?"
"Also, it's still the same black blood bat, but there are a lot more, there are seven or eight of them." The guards still had palpitations, and they trembled a little when they said it.
Wang Kun had a sign in his heart, if something went wrong again, Lin Wanfeng couldn't spare him. He didn't have any good fruit to eat.
"How many people died? Wang Kun asked.
"There were more than 50 people, and more than 30 people were injured."
"Throw all the seriously injured out and feed the monsters." Wang Kun looked at him fiercely and said slowly.
"Go and call the immortal, come with me and see."
"Yes." The guard replied.
Wang Kun and the Taoist priest walked outside the cave, and everyone lit torches and forcibly called a thin man to guide them.
A group of people walked through the mine and looked into the mine, everyone sighed, most of the cave had collapsed, and the support pillars in the cave were all shattered. If you dig any further, there is a good chance that the mine will collapse completely.
There were several clouds of red mist on the top of the cave, which had not dispersed for a long time, and everyone covered their mouths and noses when they saw it, and hurriedly retreated.
"Ahh
When they heard the strange noise, they all looked bitter and scattered, and ran out of the cave in all directions.
Although this mine is in the inner mountain, but the four sides of the mountain are set up by this Taoist priest, if there is no Taoist practice, it is almost impossible for a demon beast to want to enter, so they can live in the mountain for a long time with peace of mind. But the demon beasts in the cave and under the ground can't manage so much, if it weren't for the black blood bats who can't see the light, they would have to explain here.
Taoist priests also have unique alchemy, and refining gold is also a breeze.
"Immortals, what can we do to deal with this beast?" Wang Kun asked.
The Taoist priest said, "This black blood bat is obviously a solitary demon beast, how can it attack us in a group, it's really strange. I don't know what to do with this beast. ”
When everyone heard this, they all sighed.
