Kyoto, Song family.

At this moment, Song Wu was discussing matters with the Great Elder in the study.

"In six days, we'll take people out of the city."

Song Wu has been waiting quietly in the past few days, in addition to the three elders, he has also arranged a lot of generals near the mine, not because he can't trust the three elders, but as the head of the family, he prefers to have his loyal subordinates participate in everything, so that he will be more at ease.

Song Wu suddenly thought of something: "By the way, have the coolies who escaped from the mine been dealt with?" ”

The stakes are high in gold mines.

There were so many of these coolies that it was inevitable that some of them would talk a lot, and if the news of the gold mine spread in Kyoto, things would be in a lot of trouble.

The Great Elder shook his head: "Those coolies seem to be secretly protected, and all the generals we sent out have been killed, so no generals dare to take on this task anymore." ”

The Song family is now experimenting with a task system.

If there is something, the Song family will send out a task list, and the generals and warriors can receive the task, and they will get rewards for completing the task.

There are benefits to doing so,

But there are also a number of disadvantages.

Song Wu frowned: "Someone is secretly protecting? Is it official? No...... The official doesn't have the energy to protect these poor people, so it can only be the person who rescued them, Xu Yi? ”

The Great Elder shook his head: "I don't know. ”

Song Wu fell into deep thought.

"No matter what, these coolies must be dealt with, there are too many of them, staying in Kyoto is like a bomb for the Song family that doesn't know when it will explode, if the Great Elder has time, he will personally solve it."

The third elder nodded: "Okay." ”

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door of the study.

"Three Elders! The head of the house and the Great Elder are discussing things, you can't break in like this! ”

Song Wu looked at him strangely.

"Bang!"

I saw that the door of the study was kicked open, and it was the three elders who walked in from the outside, and behind the three elders was followed by a Song family warrior, with a worried face.

See the head of the house.

The warrior of the Song family hurriedly said: "Family master! I've already spoken to the Third Elder, and I can't stop him. ”

Song Wu waved his hand: "You retreat first." ”

The warrior of the Song family hurriedly retreated.

Song Wu picked up the teacup on the table on his right, took a sip of tea, and asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't the third elder be monitoring the situation in the mine outside the city now?" Why did you suddenly return to Kyoto? ”

Speaking of which,

He was stunned and said, "What happened outside the city?" ”

However, the three elders did not say a word.

Seeing that his face was full of anger and sorrow, as if he had suffered a great blow, Song Wu and the Great Elder looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

"I'm here to ask about something."

The three elders gritted their teeth, their hands clenched into fists, and the muscles in their arms were completely prominent.

On his right hand, there is also a piece of paper.

Song Wu nodded: "What's the matter?" No matter what the problem is, if you ask, Third Elder, I will definitely know everything. ”

The third elder looked at him coldly: "The mine outside the city, those people you found before, were they captured by the Song family to be coolies?" ”

Song Wu was stunned.

The Great Elder also frowned suddenly.

He knew that the third child was strong and had a strong sense of self-esteem, and he had never done anything bad in his life, and he couldn't tell him about the hard work in the mine.

Song Wu asked, "Why did the Third Elder suddenly ask this?" ”

The third elder sneered: "Song Wu, didn't you just say that you know everything, then you answered my question." ”

For so long,

This was the first time that the three elders had directly called Song Wu's name.

The Great Elder next to him shook his head: "Of course not, our Song family is a big family in Kyoto City, how could we do such a despicable thing, Third Brother, I don't know where you heard such rumors, I hope you can believe the family." ”

"Convinced?"

The Third Elder suddenly smiled.

He slapped the extremely crumpled paper in his hand on the table with a "bang".

Song Wu looked at the piece of paper.

Of course, it does not directly say on paper that they are coolies in the mine, but it lists many names and addresses, and when they first tricked these poor people into going to the mine, they had to fill out a job search report, which will have their home addresses and names and other information.

The third elder's tone became more and more indifferent: "Then you tell me, if they are not coolies captured by the Song family, if they are just miners of the Song family, why do you want to kill them?" ”

After talking to Xu Er, he rushed back to Song's house.

At first, he believed in the Song family,

At first, he also felt that the Song family disdained to do such a thing,

But the most ridiculous,

When he returned to Kyoto and returned to the Song family, he heard someone talking about this task, killing ordinary people, when did ordinary people become enemies of the Song family?

The three elders took down the task list,

Thinking of what Xu Er said,

His heart grew colder.

The next step is to find one of them based on the information provided above and learn the truth about the mine.

Originally

Xu Er said that all of them are true!

Song Wu frowned: "Those poor people have all come back from the mine, there are many people, this mine is a core secret for our Song family, how can these people who know the secret continue to live in Kyoto?" ”

Third Elder: "So you're going to kill them?" ”

The Great Elder nodded: "I have already discussed this matter with the head of the family, if they die, the Song family will compensate their family a sum of money, which is a very good deal for these poor people." ”

"Transaction...... Huh, deal? ”

The three elders were completely dead.

Oh, yes

The Song family has long since changed, and only cold transactions remain.

Song Wu said lightly: "Now the mine is still in Xu Yi's hands, in my opinion, the top priority, the third elder, you are still stationed outside the city, looking at Xu Yi, as for these coolies...... The Great Elder and I will take care of it. ”

The bodies of the three elders were trembling.

"Song Family...... When did it become like this? ”

"Slave Poor ......"

"Marriage Clansman ......"

"Grass Kan Human Life ......"

Each of these items could not be accepted by the three elders in their hearts.

The Great Elder sighed slightly: "Third Elder, the times have changed, and we are doing this just for the development of the Song family, so don't think about it so much." ”

"Development?"

The Third Elder said angrily, "Is this necessary for the sake of development? If yes, I'd rather the Song family decline! ”

The Great Elder stood up suddenly: "Presumptuous! ”

Song Wu's face was also ugly: "Third uncle, if the Song family wants to develop, they always have to give up something. ”

The third elder's face was full of indifference.

"Abandoned? Then you will abandon me. ”
