Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1317, Black Coal Mine
In a coal mine in Huairou County, Niu Xiaopeng is digging the coal mine with great difficulty. Because he has been imprisoned in this coal mine for a long time, and has been in foreign media from morning to night, his whole body is extremely dark, as dark as coal.

He was originally an honest farmer who wanted to work in a factory in the capital, but was forced by a group of hooligans to come to this coal mine to dig coal.

It’s okay to dig coal, all day long, without any rest, the key is that there is no wages, and the food is not enough to eat, and it is extremely unpalatable.

Several times some people tried to escape, but they were all caught by the guards and beaten severely. A person from the same village was even beaten to death directly.

It has been several years, and Niu Xiaopeng has thought of various ways to escape from here, but they all ended in failure. Several escapes also left Niu Xiaopeng beaten all over his body, with an ugly centipede on his face scars.

"Cough cough~"

Along with coughing a few times, Niu Xiaopeng protruded a mouthful of blood.

"I can't go on like this~"

"If you stay any longer, you will die here sooner or later. If you die early or die late, you might as well try your best and escape, and you can go back to see your wife and mother."

While digging coal, Niu Xiaopeng quietly approached Wei Dabao, who had played with him since he was a child, in the same village.

"I'm going to escape, do you want to come together?"

"If we don't go out again, I'm afraid we will all die of exhaustion here sooner or later."

Niu Xiaopeng said in a low voice.

It is strictly forbidden to chat with each other here, and once they are seen, they will be severely beaten by those local hooligans. Niu Xiaopeng also calculated the time correctly.

At this time, those local hooligans must be playing for money, and only a few people are patrolling everywhere, so it is also a good opportunity to escape.

"Okay, count me in."

"Sooner or later, I will die. Even if I die, I will die outside."

Wei Dabao also had scars on his face from the beatings. He also tried to escape several times, but he was arrested and beaten severely.

"Yes~"

"We have been imprisoned here for more than two years, and more than a dozen people have died. If this continues, we will all die here."

Niu Xiaopeng looked around vigilantly, and then said: "Now is a good time, take the shovel and follow me."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether Wei Dabao would follow him or not, he picked up his shovel and walked outside.

He had already figured out everything here, and at the same time, he planned to escape today. He called Shang Wei Dabao to take care of each other, and he only said it before he wanted to escape.

Wei Dabao picked up his shovel and followed. The two of them came outside. There were guards all around this coal mine, especially at the entrance and exit.

"Come with me~"

Niu Xiaopeng took the lead cautiously, dodging left and right, and actually let him really go past the guards, and he was about to escape quietly.

"Someone escaped~"

At this moment, among the people who were also brought to dig coal, someone saw the two fleeing and immediately shouted.

"Fuck~"

"Ma Dan, what a bitch."

Hearing this voice, Niu Xiaopeng and Wei Dabao couldn't help cursing as they spread their legs and started to run away.

These local hooligans have their own way. Those who report escape will be rewarded. The reward is a full meal and braised pork.

Therefore, sometimes when escaping, one must not only guard against these guards, but also guard against these people who were also imprisoned to dig coal. Several times, someone reported it in order to eat a meal.

"It's that bastard Wang Jingwei~"

Wei Dabao ran away desperately, and immediately recognized who the voice was.

"He deserved to die in this coal mine."

"Go, go to the mountain. They have horses. We can't run them on the flat ground."

Niu Xiaopeng also ran away desperately, because those local ruffians had heard the sound and were chasing after him angrily.

"Run~"

"How dare you run away~"

"Don't let me catch and watch how I break your legs."

The local ruffian headed by him was furious, and he lost the bet again, so he shouted while chasing him on horseback.

"Tata~Tata~"

Between the mountains and forests, a group of people rode horses and galloped at high speed, making some roe deer, deer, rabbits, pheasants, wild boars and so on in the forest run around.

"Hey~"

Accompanied by the sound of an arrow, a sharp arrow hit a pheasant in an instant.

"Your Highness is amazing~Your Highness is amazing!"

Beside Zhu Houzhao, several beauties immediately cheered and jumped for joy. When they looked at Zhu Houzhao one by one, their eyes were full of little stars of admiration.

"Haha, haha~"

"That is, when I was in the army, I won a medal in archery. Although I am not the best, I am also a hundred hits."

Zhu Houzhao raised his head slightly proudly. He is most interested in and spends the most energy in contacting military-related things. Horseback riding and archery are trivial matters.

"Bring the musket~"

Following Zhu Houzhao's words, Liu Jin also hurriedly picked up a Miyun [-]'s musket newly manufactured by the Miyun Arsenal.

This musket is the latest research and manufacture of the Miyun Iron Works. It has rifling inside, has a long range and high precision. ignition.

This gun is basically not much different from the guns of later generations. It is the result of years of research by Miyun Arsenal under the guidance of Liu Jin, and it is an epoch-making product.

"Tsk tsk, this gun is much better than before."

Zhu Houzhao held a musket in his hand, aiming at three points and one line and fired a shot, which directly hit the target he was aiming at.

"Haha, it's really easy to use, try using it for hunting~"

Zhu Houzhao rode a horse and started hunting in the forest with a musket.

"Bang~"

With a gunshot, a wild boar struggled unwillingly and fell heavily.

"Haha, it's really useful!"

Zhu Houzhao shouted excitedly.

The most difficult part of this hunt is the wild boar.

Wild boars generally have a thick layer of 'armor' made of mud mixed with pine tree grease, and with rough skin and thick flesh, it is difficult to shoot wild boars with bows and arrows.

Unless it is the kind of amazing arm that uses heavy bows and arrows, it is possible to hunt wild boars.

But using a musket is different. With one shot, as long as the shot is accurate, no matter how big the wild boar is, it will fall down.

"Your Highness is mighty~"

"Your Highness is amazing~"

Immediately, Liu Jin and the beauties around her began to flatter them again and again.

"Um~uh~"

Zhu Houzhao nodded in enjoyment.

"Don't run~don't run~"

"Stop, stop~"

Just when Zhu Houzhao was on the rise of hunting and playing, Niu Xiaopeng and Wei Dabao ran towards Zhu Houzhao panting while running away.

Behind them, there are more than a dozen people chasing after them, some are riding horses, some are running constantly, some are holding weapons and swords in their hands, and some are holding bows and arrows, Sticks, ropes, nets, whatever.

"Protect Your Highness~"

Seeing these people, Liu Jin immediately became nervous. With an order, the palace guards in disguise immediately gathered around and surrounded Zhu Houzhao and his beauties. From now on, the sword in his hand is also in his hand.

"Help~ help~"

Niu Xiaopeng and Wei Dabao couldn't move, they were already desperate, but when they saw Zhu Houzhao and others suddenly, they ran towards Zhu Houzhao and shouted loudly.

"Go and see what's going on?"

Zhu Hou took care of Niu Xiaopeng and Wei Dabao who were extremely dark and said: "These two people should not be Kunlun slaves, but how can this Kunlun slave speak so well, and slaves are not allowed in our Daming, let alone slaves?" Interracial male slaves are allowed."

"It doesn't seem like a Kunlun slave. It's our Daming people. This hair and clothes are my Ming people's clothes."

Liu Jin looked at it carefully and said.

While talking, Niu Xiaopeng and Wei Dabao got closer and closer to Zhu Houzhao and the others. They were also very scared when they saw the people around Zhu Houzhao with swords, bows, arrows, muskets, and horses.

But look at the hooligans who were chasing after them, and as soon as they gritted their teeth, they walked straight towards Zhu Houzhao, and shouted as they walked, "Help, my lord, help me, my lord~"

"stop?"

"what happened?"

"Who are you?"

"Why are you here?"

The court captain who was in charge of protecting Liu Jin stopped the two of them on horseback and asked sharply.

"My name is Niu Xiaopeng, and he is Wei Dabao. We were originally farmers in Baoshan Town, Huairou County. When we went out to work in the capital, we were forcibly taken to their coal mine by gangsters under Sun Zixiang, a bully in Huairou County. They paid us wages, imprisoned us, and refused to let us go home, and we haven't been home for two years."

"I beg your lord to save us. If they arrest us and go back, the two of us will be dead. In the past few years, we have taken out the coal mines, and a dozen people have been beaten to death by them."

Niu Xiaopeng and Wei Dabao knelt down directly, and said anxiously, they had to look behind from time to time, only to see those local hooligans had already chased them up, one by one vicious, with things in their hands, they became even more afraid .

"what?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately lost the desire to hunt.

"How unreasonable is this? There is no law and no law. They even imprisoned people to dig mines, and directly beat them to death."

Zhu Houzhao was really angry. He was planning to find a good way to clean up the Sun family slowly. Who knew that the Sun family had done so many outrageous things, even confining people like slaves to dig mines. I can do all the things, and there is really nothing I dare not do.
