didn't care about anything else at the moment, Jiang Wulang picked up the two and a half children one in one hand, and quickly rushed outside the house.

A few guards in the back carried everyone out of the house.

The villagers were shocked to see that the guards had rescued people and that they were intact.

"The old chief, use the mule cart in the village to pull them to the county town to find the medical officer's office, and say that by the prince's order, let them do their best to treat and see if there are any living people."

"The old man obeyed the order, and the old man thanked the prince for saving his life just now." The elder wept and knelt down again.

At the scene, many villagers knew that this brocade prince turned out to be the prince of the imperial prison, and they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the prince to thank him.

When the crown prince of the dynasty and the prince of the empire actually went to the countryside to observe the people's situation and save people on the spot, this is a fact that they can't even imagine.

"Hurry up old man, don't talk about this yet, set up a carriage, it's important to save people." The prince couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this, so he was so anxious that he had to shout loudly.

After a while, a mule-horse wooden cart came to the village, and the villagers carried the family into the car and sent them to the medical office in Xianyang County.

……

In the evening, the prince and his entourage, together with 500 Qianniuwei, camped in the resettlement area on the outskirts of Xianyang in order not to affect the stability of the city.

Reports from the medical officer:

In the end, Widow Hu's family of five saved two of them, and the daughter-in-law, the baby, and the little girl, all three died.

On the contrary, the eldest daughter, who slept close to the wooden wall of the house, was able to survive because of the ventilation through the gaps.

Widow Hu did not die, because she lay unconscious on the ground, and the carbon monoxide concentration on the ground was low, and she was lucky to survive.

According to her, her family's fate was so difficult that it was destined for this catastrophe.

To the surprise of the crown prince, it is said that charcoal is poisonous and everyone is afraid, but this widow Hu still has the courage to go into the mountains to pick up charcoal for heating?

After she came to her senses, Yuan Zhi personally asked to figure it out.

It turned out that Widow Hu often went into the mountains to collect firewood, pick wild mushrooms or dig up rat nests, and she had seen people burning charcoal in the wild to keep warm and cook, and she was not necessarily poisoned and uncomfortable.

Since the beginning of winter, the firewood at home has long been burned, and there are no men to cut wood, so it is not a matter of relying on villagers for relief.

Therefore, the widows went into the mountains and gathered a few baskets of charcoal and came back.

But I have not dared to use it rashly.

Yesterday, there was no firewood at home, and the kang without fire was an ice bed, and several children were crying out from the cold.

Widow Hu gritted her teeth and took out the charcoal they had picked up and burned it.

Yuan Zhi noticed that Widow Hu was talking about picking, and the coal was picked up on the hillside, and there was no deep digging.

And it is also said that it is not far from here, the Wolf's Mouth Ridge Mountain Range in Qinggangping.

That is to say, there is a possibility of open-pit or shallow coal mines in the Langzui Ridge of Qinggangping.

Hearing the news, Yuan Zhi was like eating a pound of honey, and his sweet heart bloomed.

Seeing that the mother and daughter of Widow Hu had recovered, he asked the county guard yamen to give him a special subsidy, and then returned to the camp tent under the awe-inspiring eyes of the villagers.

He immediately ordered Zhonglang General Fan Hu to send a small detachment early tomorrow morning into the Wolf's Mouth Ridge in Qinggangping to explore the approximate location of the coal mine.

After arranging the affairs, the prince finished his dinner and began to read the briefings and recitals transmitted by the express.

There was a charcoal brazier burning in the tent, and it was warm inside.

After a while, there was a commotion at the gate of the tent, and the prince frowned in displeasure.

He was about to open his mouth to call someone, only to see Ding Jiu and Jiang Wulang enter, and he knelt down at the door with a bang.

This startled the crown prince, "Why is this?" ”

At this time, Jiang Wulang's mother-in-law, Sister-in-law Zhang, was placed in the kitchen with the army, and was about to come over to change tea for the prince, and she was also very nervous when she saw her own man Porphym kneeling on the ground.

She didn't know what crime her man had committed and how the prince would punish her, so she was so frightened that she stood aside with her hands and arms in her hands, and she didn't dare to speak with her head down.

"Your Highness, we deserve to die, we have repeatedly violated the ban of the East Palace today, and we deserve death." Ding Jiu lowered his head and reviewed first.

Yuan Zhi was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted. It's about the fact that at the entrance of the village at noon, Ding Jiu and Jiang Wulang led their personal guards to block the car, drawing swords and crossbows to be hostile to the people.

Today, when I was busy, I heard about the Wolf's Mouth Ridge Coal Mine, and I was happy to put this matter behind me.

Who's still worried?

At this time, Wei Changjin, Gao Jin, and Fan Hu walked in from outside the tent.

As soon as he saw Ding Jiu and Jiang Wulang kneeling on the ground, Fan Hu was furious, and rushed forward to kick them with two feet.

Fan Hu is a military general, and his kicking strength is not small, and the two of them were kicked out of the heel fight, and they couldn't get up for a long time.

"Bastard thing, how can you be the prince's personal guard, was the lesson of Wangchun Pavilion still small last time?"

Fan Hu was furious when he heard Wei Changjin talk about it just now.

He is the garrison general of the East Palace, and he has an unshirkable responsibility.

What's more, Ding Jiu is his cousin, and Jiang Wulang is his former personal guard.

First of all, he had to clear himself up of the charge of lax management of the army.

The prince's eyes widened in surprise, and he was stunned for a moment.

Although Fan Hu is the garrison general of the East Palace, it is common for him to reprimand people, and the last time he was assassinated for the crown prince, he also had to implement Ding Ji's military regulations.

But he will not be so undignified, and punish his subordinates in front of His Royal Highness the Prince.

This is rare. Seeing her man being beaten, although Sister-in-law Zhang didn't know the reason, she understood that Jiang Wulang must have made an unforgivable mistake, otherwise why was General Fan so furious, and she was immediately frightened and cried.

This cry woke up the prince.

This Fan Hu is famous for his violent temper and a garrison general, he is angry, except for the prince, I am afraid that no one dares to step forward to stop him.

"General Fan stop, punish his subordinates for being so noisy, what kind of system is it?" The prince scolded.

Fan Hu's face was flushed, and he was about to step forward to defend himself.

Wei Changjin, who was watching coldly, was afraid that Fan Hu would not be able to make a clear statement, so he moved forward and bowed to the prince:

"Your Highness, how many words does Weichen have that I don't know if to say or not?"

"Master Wei, there is something else that is difficult to talk about between you and me, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Yuan Zhi waved his hand indifferently.

Wei Changjin went out, only to see him raise his eyebrows, and said loudly:

"The crown prince is the body of ten thousand gold, how can you put yourself in danger for the sake of several people, if there is any accident, where to put the empire and the people, His Royal Highness the prince can know that your life is not your own."

Yuan Zhi was also dumbfounded in an instant, and he was stunned again!

So far, no one has dared to say such a thing about him.

Unexpectedly, in order to save the family of Widow Hu who was poisoned by gas, in order to save the family of Widow Hu who was poisoned by gas, he actually asked Wei Zhanshi, a nerd, to buckle such a big hat.

Could it be that he is a descendant of Wei Zheng under Li Shimin?

The prince wanted to get angry but couldn't.

There is a way of being faithful to the ear.

He can't be worse than Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who gives people the impression that he can't listen to different opinions and acts arbitrarily.

"Lord Wei, you are alarmist, this prince has made many private visits, and there is no danger this time, don't make a fuss."

Yuan Zhi slanted his mouth and smiled awkwardly, his expression was very unnatural.

Seeing the prince's stubborn mouth, Wei Changjin couldn't help but feel annoyed.
