Chapter 15 Taking Life 2

The vast majority of these officials who entered the mine have never entered here, because their identity makes it impossible for these people to come to this place that mainly punish criminals. So when these people entered the mine and looked at the miners walking around carrying large stones not far away, their eyes were full of disgust and disdain.

However, the expression of the most important person among them was much calmer. He carefully looked at the movements of the miners and their bulging strong muscles, and his eyes seemed to have some interest. Of course, he was by no means thinking of any evil idea, but thought that since these miners were so strong, they would play a great role if they could be sent to the battlefield. However, this can only be thought about. He also knows that the miners are all convicted by the court and cannot be released at will.

In addition to Ye Hao and Liu Mo, the two highest positions of Wenwu in Yunzhou, there is also a young man in his 30s, who is Ye Tao. He is introducing Wang Junqing to the basic situation in the mine with a smile, including the number of miners he owns, the number of mines mined, and the number of gold and silver that can be produced every month.

These heard in Wang Junqing's ears, which also made him nodded frequently: "It seems that Yechangzhu is still very attentive to the errands handed over to you by the court, which makes me more relieved."

Ye Hao was also very satisfied with his brother's performance in front of Wang Junqing, so he echoed a few words. Everyone keeps moving forward in such a friendly and harmonious situation, and their goal is indeed the location of the smelting farm.

At this time, Xu Jinghong, who was in the crowd on the other side, also saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. He felt that everything would soon happen according to his plan. In order to remind him at the critical moment, he had held his breath and waited for everyone to speak before the cave.

I didn't want to suddenly cure the crowd who was going to the smelting ground. Then after a short pause, he suddenly changed his direction and went to the northwest corner, but Xu Jinghong's original move to call back. What's the matter? Did anyone see that it was unsafe there, so they could change the direction? Xu Jinghong thought strangely and looked at the most eye-catching person in the crowd, but he didn't know why he made such a change.

Among a group of people in civil and military uniforms, this man only wears plain clothes, which looks very prominent, but also reflects the speciality of his identity. Although Xu Jinghong has never seen him and does not know his identity, he can still see at a glance that he is a member of the court to be received in the mine.

It turned out that when everyone was about to visit the smelting farm, Liu Mo over there suddenly said, "General Wang, the smelting farm is actually nothing to look good. The most we should see when we come to the mine should be the stored gold and silver. So in the opinion of the following officials, should we go to the east first?

After listening to his words, a strange look flashed in their eyes, and both of them had an idea: "How did this Liu know the layout of the mine? Did he hear something when he said that, so did he want to use this method to deal with us? Although they were very surprised, they did not object. Ye Tao was even more impressed by his brother's preparedness. It was because of his reminder that he made the arrangement yesterday.

Wang Junqing agreed to Liu Mo's proposal without much thought, and then let everyone turn around and go east. After a while, he came to a cave guarded by three or five soldiers with strong crossbows and a heavy iron gate. At Ye Tao's order, the soldiers retreated to both sides, and then he personally opened the heavy iron gate.

After entering for a long time, everyone filed out. The other officials did not change their expressions, but Liu Mo's expression changed a little. It turned out that he came here with hope, but now he has a little more disbelief and shock in his eyes. Because as far as he knows, there is five or six times the gold and silver hidden here, but it is normal to see what he sees now.

In fact, whether it was for Wang Junqing to investigate military salaries or the corruption of military food, everything was just a cover to cover up his real purpose. Liu Mo wanted to really give a heavy blow to the Ye brothers, but the killer mace that made them argue silently was here, for which he also made the most careful preparations.

But who thought that the killing move that could be hit with one blow failed, which made Liu Mo suffer a big blow for a moment and said in his heart, "Where has this changed? Why didn't he bring me a message back?"

At this time, Ye Hao, who came out later, sneered: "It seems that the output of our mine is indeed a little low, otherwise Governor Liu will not be distracted as soon as he enters. Lord Liu, do you think I'm right?

Liu Mo snorted, but stopped talking. Because he found that he had reached the edge of failure, and his attitude was completely exposed. Once he couldn't defeat the Ye brothers this time, he would be too sad in the future.

Wang Junqing ignored the secret struggle between the two sides, but turned his head and smiled, "That's not right. Although the gold and silver hidden here is not too much, it is already very good compared with other mines I have been to. It seems that the output of Yunzhou mine is indeed not low, which is also a good thing for our southwest border army and even the whole Song Dynasty. Then the word turned around and said, "Now that we have seen the hidden gold hole, let's go and see how this gold and silver ore turned into real gold and silver."

This is exactly the proposal Ye Tao wanted to hear most. He nodded immediately and said, "General Wang, please."

Seeing that his younger brother, who has always had opinions on Wang Junqing, suddenly became as attentive and thoughtful as a person, made Ye Hao have a trace of doubt in his heart, but now he is just a companion. It's really hard to say, so he has to ask Ye Tao with his eyes to see what he is thinking.

Ye Tao did not meet his brother's eyes, because he clearly knew that his brother knew what he knew about him. With just one look, he might be able to see through his mind, and his plan could only be invalid. He doesn't want Wang Junqing to show off in the mine so much, and he must teach him a lesson.

After a circle, several people finally returned to the place where they turned before, and then went in the direction of the smelting farm again. Xu Jinghong happened to carry another load of ore at this time. Seeing their where they were going, he didn't have time to do anything, so he carried heavy ore behind them far away. Fortunately, there are always people dressed like this in this mine, so it's not too eye-catching.

Seeing that they came to the cave and one of them made a gesture to the dark place behind the cave from afar, Xu Jinghong knew that the time was ripe. Without any hesitation, Xu Jinghong fell the burden on his shoulder to the ground, quickly stepped forward, and shouted at the same time, "Be careful!"

Ye Tao deliberately fell behind a little before and after taking everyone to the smelting farm. Although he did not intend to really hurt Wang Junqing, the fall of the stone was not a joke, and it was most important to ensure his own safety. Then he arranged for his cronies to hide behind the cave wall to send a signal to do it.

Indeed, as Xu Jinghong thought, the stone above was tamped, with several irregular small stones underneath, and the bottom of the stone was tied with vines. Once the down vine is pulled away, the small stones will roll down, and then cause the 200 catties of big stone to fall from the top of the mountain.

Of course, Ye Tao did not dare to play too much, so he sent a signal when Wang Junqing was not at a dangerous distance, so that after he went further, the stone just fell, and the flying dust could embarrass him. Moreover, because it doesn't hurt people, and there are dangers everywhere in the mine, Wang Junqing must have no way to investigate, so he can breathe a bad breath for himself and his brother.

Everything is so perfect that those cronies dare not disoed. But just as things were about to happen, a shout came from behind them and warned everyone.

Hearing the loud shout behind, Wang Junqing and others stopped their pace, and then subconsciously looked up and saw a big stone falling straight down with sand. This scared the officials to change color. They hurriedly retreated to both sides and let out a burst of exclamation.

However, Wang Junqing did not change his face. Looking at the trend of the stone falling, he did not move, but frowned slightly. With a roar, the stone hit the ground heavily and raised several feet of smoke, but because he is still a certain distance from the landing point, only the hem of his clothes is stained with some dust. Compared with those embarrassed officials, he is so chic and calm.

And he then turned his head and looked at Xu Jinghong, who was still not far behind them, and a question appeared in his mind.

And the Ye brothers also had their own shock. Ye Hao guessed what was going on and was shocked by his brother's reckless behavior. Ye Tao was surprised by the failure of his plan. Instead of making Wang Junqing disgraced, he set off his hero. This made him very angry and hated the warning guy, which even covered up the uneasiness and panic that should have been generated. He also immediately turned his head and stared behind him resentfully. He wanted to see which bold mining slave dared to ruin his good deeds.

At this time, many people present turned their heads behind them and looked at the teenager who had just warned loudly. The scene suddenly became a little quiet.
