Chapter 10 Escape

Gao Jiu came out of Hu San's shed with a gloomy face, and he only felt a chill. As a pipeman in this mining area, he had too many things to do, and it was reported early this morning that someone had died. He didn't take it seriously, but when he saw that the dead was not Xu Jinghong he wanted to see, but Hu San, who was ordered to do it, he began to feel uneasy.

"What the hell is going on?" After checking for a long time and didn't find any suspicious clues, Gao Jiu couldn't help asking Hu San's trusted friends, "How on earth did he die?"

"I really don't know this... small one. Today, when I saw Mao, it was a little strange that the third brother didn't show up, so I went to the shed to call him. But I didn't expect that the third brother had hung there and breathed..." The first person to see Hu San's body trembled and said everything he knew.

"Hanging and dying? Humph, that's really a good excuse, but which one of you can tell me why he hanged himself? Did he owe anyone money, or did he go to hell? Gao Jiu didn't believe such an inference at all, and then he thought of something and came to Xu Jinghong, who was still lying there: "I heard that you stayed here last night?"

Xu Jinghong knew that the other party would find him sooner or later, so he was prepared. Hearing the words, he said, "In the words of the ninth master, the villain was injured and couldn't move, so he slept here all night."

"Are you injured? What injury? Don't pretend!" Gao Jiu kept sweeping back and forth on Xu Jinghong's body with suspicion, as if he wanted to see through Xu Jinghong's body with his eyes.

In the face of the other party's suspicion, Xu Jinghong was still very calm. He said, "Yesterday, because there was a problem when I went down to the mine, I hurt my waist and back because I blocked the sunken sandstone. Many people can testify to this. Until now, my body can't move. If you don't believe me, you can ask others.

Xiong Geng said, "Yes, we can all testify about this. If Jinghong hadn't sacrificed himself to block it, the mine would have collapsed long ago, and we would have been buried alive in it. Speaking of this, he still had a chill in his heart.

"Oh, isn't it? In this way, you absolutely don't have the ability to kill Hu San at night?

"Master Jiu's words are really too serious. How could the villain do such a thing?" Xu Jinghong still calmly faced Gao Jiu's suspicion, and even the expression on his face did not change at all. It seemed that it really had nothing to do with him. Then Xu Jinghong added, "And I can also prove that no one came out after dark last night, so no one must have attacked the third brother."

"Hey, that's too strange. Is Hu San so impatient that he can hang himself? This doesn't make sense at all!" Gao Jiu still shook his head in disbelief.

Xu Jinghong also frowned and said after a long time, "This may be because the third brother knew that the mine collapsed yesterday and committed suicide for fear of being responsible. There are many gold mines in this mine. If it is really investigated, he can't bear this responsibility alone, so he thought of this dead end.

"He is afraid of taking responsibility?" After several changes, Gao Jiu said, "This is impossible. It's not uncommon for mines to collapse here. I didn't see anyone to die because of this before. Why did this happen when I came to him?"

"This villain can't guess." Xu Jinghong unconsciously became the representative of this miner. He answered all the questions, and others did not think there was anything wrong with it.

Gao Jiu is naturally dissatisfied with this. When he was still talking about it, Xu Jinghong suddenly thought of something and said, "Yes, I think it should have something to do with the third brother's kindness all the time. He has always been very strict with us, so he should be more strict with himself. He must have made a decision because he can't accept that he has made such a big mistake. Yes, it must be so!"

"You said he hanged himself because he couldn't get through this?" Gao Jiu wanted to laugh very much, but he couldn't laugh, because he suddenly felt that there was something in Xu Jinghong's words - strict with everyone, isn't he talking about his cruelty? And he was hated by others because of his style of acting, so those miners would be happy after his death, even in front of him, which made Gao Jiu feel a fear that he didn't know where it came from.

When looking at Xu Jinghong again, Gao Jiu saw a flash of murderous spirit in the teenager's eyes. It seemed that the teenager would take his life at any time, which made him shiver. I don't know if he was affected by this feeling. He didn't plan to pursue this matter anymore. He just stared at Xu Jinghong and said, "What you said is not unreasonable. Hu San should have committed suicide. But his death doesn't mean that you can do nothing. Hurry up and do it for me!" The following words were said to cheer myself up.

The crowd soon dispersed. Gao Jiu turned around after a cold hum, but at this time, the fear in his heart could not be concealed, because his hurried footsteps simply wanted to leave Xu Jinghong's side quickly.

Seeing him leave, Xu Jinghong was relieved. He knew that the words actually didn't have much effect. If the other party insisted that it was his own hand, he would really use force to solve it. Fortunately, Gao Jiu was not a real outlaw. After feeling Xu Jinghong's murderous spirit, he retreated, which made him avoid a disaster.

At this time, Xiong Geng suddenly squatted beside Xu Jinghong and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "You didn't stay here last night. Did you kill Hu San?"

Xu Jinghong was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "What did you say?"

"Your reaction has shown that my judgment is correct." Xiong Geng smiled and said, "Because I came out last night. Because I was worried that you had an injury and the weather turned cold again, I wanted to send you some cover, but I didn't see you. I'm afraid you went to kill Hu San at that time.

Xu Jinghong was silent for a while. He didn't expect that everything he designed would have such a big flaw. Fortunately, he was proud for a long time last night. Seeing that he was silent, Xiong Geng thought he was worried that he would leak the secret, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. Let alone say that you saved me, just because you can kill Hu San, an asshole, I already want to thank you. This scum is always looking for us. I also want to take his life, but I haven't been able to summon up the courage.

Hearing what he said, he saw his solemn face. Xu Jinghong knew that the other party had not deceived him, so he also smiled and said, "Some things still pretend not to know that it is the safest. I have to trouble you guys these days. My injury hasn't healed yet. I'm afraid I can't do anything.

"Okay, you can rest assured about this!" Xiong Geng smiled at Xu Jinghong and got up to do something, but he didn't know that his good promise was to help Xu Jinghong hide everything or help him do things. Xu Jinghong also showed a gentle smile on his face. He felt that he had found the first true good friend in the world.

Gao Jiu couldn't get any flaws here and was threatened by him. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he decided to go to the people above for advice. He left the area of the mine, turned to Yunzhou City, and then entered a magnificent mansion with a plaque hanging high above the mansion - the Governor's Office.

Not long after being introduced into the side hall by the servants, a 30-year-old but frivolous young man came in. As soon as he saw Gao Jiu, he asked, "Well, have you been told that what you have done?"

"I've met the owner." Gao Jiu didn't dare to make a big deal. After salute first, he said what had happened in the past two days with a bitter face: "It turned out that this boy could be easily solved, but he didn't expect that not only let him avoid this disaster, but also the people I sent to deal with him died inexplicably. Although it seems to have nothing to do with him, the villain can guarantee that Xu must be secretly.

The man's face was also covered with a layer of frost: "You are really a waste. You can't get rid of such a miner. How can I reuse you in the future?"

"The owner is angry. In fact, it's not difficult to get rid of him from the villain's opinion, but it's hard to get rid of him unconsciously..." Gao Jiu quickly excused himself: "Whever the owner change his policy? Let's find a reason to take him..." With that, he made a gesture of silence.

"No, I have reminded you several times that this matter must be done secretly without any flaws, otherwise we will be in big trouble after his death."

"What are the forces behind this person? Since it can make the owner so afraid, why did he throw him in such a hard place? Gao Jiu has been curious about this question for a long time, and now he can't help asking again.

"You don't have to pay attention to this and shouldn't know it. You just need to do what I told you to do." The man said coldly, "If you know too much, you will never live long."

"Yes, the villain knows his fault." After being looked at by the prince, Gao Jiu shivered again: "What is the owner going to do?"

"If something goes wrong this time, just wait a little longer. It's not good for him to take precautions again, so let's wait until he relaxes his vigilance. You should follow the rules and don't have to worry about this time. Anyway, people are still in our hands, and there is plenty of opportunity to get rid of him. The man said with a sneer.
