Chapter 87 (Seeking Follow-up) Shura Zhao Jin (II)
Huang Fu has been traveling south and north for so many years.
I've seen people who risk their lives to resell ore, but I've never seen people who have to go down to save people when something happens in a mine.
As for Wang Pingchuan and Ye Wenchang, Huang Fu even felt that he had shown mercy to his subordinates, but who could blame them if they had to find death.
But in the face of Zhao Jin, he didn't dare to say this, but pretended to be hypocritical without a place.
His flattering face was covered with blood, and his hair was scattered, like a mourning dog.
Zhao Jin looked down from above, and his voice was cold, "So you went to great lengths to kill so many lives, just to stop the road construction?" ”
Yongshun County used to be a major transportation route, and it was common for merchants to travel from south to north.
Road repair is beneficial to the country, business and people, why make Huang Fu and others so mad.
Huang Fu stared at the dagger in front of him and swallowed with difficulty: "You... You... Don't get excited, listen to me first. ”
"In fact, Wang Pingchuan's road construction didn't have much to do with it originally, which official didn't build roads and bridges to improve his political performance?"
"It's okay to repair the main road, but I still want to rebuild the Hongling Road...... Did you know that this road is the designated transportation underpass in the north? ”
Red Ridge Sandwich Road.
Unexpectedly, the source of everything turned out to be because of such a broken road!
"The Hongling Road has been abandoned for many years, and the villages along the way have been relocated," Zhao Jin said gloomily, "You will choose." ”
Even people who have lived in Yongshun County for a few years may not notice that road.
As the name suggests, the Hongling Sandwich Road is a road sandwiched between the mountains, and there were red maples all over the sides.
However, due to the rolling of the earth dragon more than ten years ago, the road collapsed, and there were often falling rocks on both sides of the cliff, and no one walked for a long time.
Zhao Jin had been to that vicinity, the grass was overgrown and rugged, and the roads were in disrepair.
Huang Fu's voice became smaller and smaller, "This is also, there is no way to do it." He smiled bitterly: "The imperial court is very strict with iron mines, and if they are transported one by one, they will definitely be found out." A safe path is needed to avoid detection. Although the Hongling Sandwich Road is a little remote, it is still.... It's still very safe. ”
There have been rumors circulating in the county that Huang Fu had a private transaction with salt and iron dealers, but Zhao Jin never found evidence.
It turned out to be dark under the lights.
Presumably, Huang Laosan is also using his power to cover up secretly and erase traces of his joints.
It's a pity that it was ruined by Wang Pingchuan's ambitions.
Wang Pingchuan received a large amount of donations for repairs, and with a wave of his hand, he also included the Hongling Sandwich Road in the plan.
Several branch roads in Yongshun County have not yet been completed, and they have all been stranded due to the death of Wang Pingchuan.
If everything goes according to plan, the Hongling Sandwich Road will eventually be repaired.
Zhao Jin finally figured out the cause and effect.
"No wonder," he grabbed Huang Fu by the collar, "No wonder...... You've been getting in the way. I'm worried that once that road is built, the secret of your private mine operation will be exposed! ”
For his own selfish interests, he disregarded the lives of the people, and even made Wang Xianling's bones not survive, and his reputation was ruined!
Zhao Jin clenched the dagger tightly, and the bones rattled,
Looking at Huang Fushi again, it was like looking at a dead object.
"Say! So where is the iron ore going to go? Who took over? What do you want? ”
Huang Fu grabbed Zhao Jin's arm and begged for mercy, "Zhao, Zhao Ye, Zhao Daxia!" It's not that I don't say it, it's that I really don't know what to say! Iron ...... shipped out Iron ore is put down and left when it arrives in the north, and when the time comes, it will ...... Somebody will take over, I don't know, I really don't know anything else! ”
"You mine and transport ore for people, and now tell me I don't know who it is? Could it be that Zhao is a three-year-old child? ”
Without waiting for Huang Fu to reply, Zhao Jin directly stabbed him into his thigh.
"Ahh!!hh Really, hey, I don't know. That's the first time I've seen that Pixiu, too.... It is the ...... sent from the north to deal with the aftermath after Wang Pingchuan's accident."
Zhao Jin saw Huang Fu say stop, he had long lost his patience, took out the dagger and stabbed it again, "You fucking sheep?" Pull grain by pit grain! ”
Huang Fu's eyes widened in pain, "Zhao Jin, you can't die well..... Don't don't, Zhao Ye! Don't prick me, I say! ”
He saw Zhao Jin raise the dagger again, and immediately coaxed.
"Ten years ago .... I was in the medicinal herb business in Lucheng County, Mizhou in the north, but I lost all of my luck when I was unlucky. Later, I met that person, and I only knew that I called him the eldest young master, his real name... I really don't know. The man knew that I was from Qingsong Town, so he carried me around the silk a few times, and soon gave me a large sum of money to let me return to Qingsong Town. ”
"From... At first, I was only allowed to open a restaurant, so that's how Fuding House came about. Seven years ago, I received a letter from the north, saying that there was an iron mine in Qingsong Town, and instructed me to arrange for someone to mine it and send it to the north. Then... was also worried that the county government would track down, so he made a tin mine to cover people's eyes, and then transferred some people to dig iron ore. ”
"Master Zhao, I really just want to make money. As soon as Wang County's plan to repair the Hongling Road came out, I knew that the iron mine would definitely not be able to hide it. This.... But it is a sin to kill the head. Therefore, I thought that I would cause the river embankment to collapse and pull down the Wang County Order, so that the road construction plan would naturally end without a hitch, but I didn't expect ......."
Huang Fu gasped, his eyes a little dazed, and continued.
"When the eldest young master in the north found out, he soon sent Pixiu over. But I swear, at first, I really didn't know that they were so capable of making the court issue an accountability document, and they could also make Huang Laosan a county magistrate. ”
Zhao Jin asked, "Where will those iron ores be handed over every time they are transported to the north?" ”
"Five miles east of Dashi Village, Lucheng County, Mizhou, there is an inn without a store name."
"How do you hand it over?"
"Just leave it to the innkeeper."
"What does the eldest young master in the north look like?"
"I haven't seen him for many years, he was seven feet long, and now he is about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with a white face and a cold and arrogant expression."
"But what are the characteristics?"
"Back then, he liked the white jade with a bird's title around his waist."
Zhao Jin swept the dagger in his hand, "What else?" ”
Huang Fu shrank back with difficulty, and said timidly, "It's gone, Zhao Ye!" It's really gone, I'll tell you everything. ”
Zhao Jin nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, it's a lot easier to do this earlier." ”
Huang Fuchang breathed a sigh of relief, pulling the corners of his mouth and laughing, "Zhao Ye, you are benevolent and righteous, give me a chance, the little one is willing to testify for Wang County, return his innocence, and set up a shrine for him to recite scriptures......"
Zhao Jin shook his head, "The chanting of the ancestral hall will be exempted, and it will pollute Lord Wang's ears." Now that you're done, let's hit the road! ”
"Okay." Huang Fu leaned against the cave wall and wanted to stand up, but was suddenly stunned, "Up... Hit the road? On what road? ”
Zhao Jin bent down sharply and stabbed the dagger into Huang Fu's heart.
"Huangquan Road!"
Huang Fu's eyes were full of fear, his hands were on his chest, his body slipped and fell to the ground, and his whole body was convulsing.
"Lord Wang, Ye Lao, they have twenty lives, how can you deserve to be alive?"
"Even if I, Zhao Jin, fall into hell, I will kill all the masters behind you!"
A large amount of blood flowed in the mine, dyeing the entire ground crimson, and Huang Fu on the ground gradually stopped moving.
The faint light of the fire reflected Zhao Jin's figure, like a Shura from hell!
......
Qingsong Town, Huating Academy.
Ye Chongwen put down the scroll in his hand and walked out of the gate of the small courtyard.
The academy still maintains its former appearance, with dark bamboos growing on both sides of the bluestone pavement, and splashing water in the central pond of the mezzanine road.
He went to his grandfather's study, but he didn't go in.
"Grandpa, I'm going to take the county exam in just over a year. Lately, I've been studying arithmetic seriously. Ye Chongwen sat against the wall, the corners of his eyes red. One day I will prove your innocence. ”
He sat for a long time before he got up against the wall and muttered, "I'm going to rest, grandpa, you should rest earlier." ”
The wind blew the fallen leaves, and the raindrops under the eaves hit the beams.
The faint light of the lantern farther and farther away, and the shadows on the study door were mottled and soon dimmed again.
It rained for a long time this night, and it was so long that people couldn't help but think of the torrent, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy.
It wasn't until the sky revealed the white of the fish's belly and the morning light broke through the haze that the rain completely stopped.
