Chapter 111 Gunpowder
He Lingjiang and Pei You ran all the way to the mine cave in the back mountain, and they saw that under the shade of vegetation, the mine cave was like a giant beast dormant in the dark, quietly opening a big mouth in the rain before dawn. , as if to devour everyone.

However, looking at this intact mine, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She brushed away the grass and trees at the entrance of the cave, pushed open the stone gate with Pei You, and entered the mine.

The mine was still as usual, the lights flickered gently, and there was a clanging sound of chiseling walls in the distance.

The miners were mining as usual, without any panic of being infested.

He Lingjiang frowned, it doesn't seem to be any different here.

"If you were that wave of people, what would you do now?" She looked around and found nothing unusual.

Pei You stared at the lights hanging on the stone wall, and faintly spit out two words: "Exploding mine."

Even though he had guessed it, He Lingjiang couldn't help but take a deep breath, and sure enough, he thought so too.

With Sun Juncheng here, it was inevitable to thoroughly investigate Nanshan's private collection case.

Since Liu Yuan couldn't stop him, he could erase all traces in advance. In this way, Sun Juncheng could investigate, but he would not be able to produce any evidence of private mining, nor could he be implicated in him.

Now, the mining supervisor who secretly worked for him is dead, and the few people who transported the ore may have been his staff, and they are not in the mining area now.

The rest are the mines that are still being mined and the people in the mines.

Just blow up the mine and bury all the people or things about the private mining of copper and iron.

Even if Sun Juncheng brought out the whistleblower again, Liu Yuan could still bite back, saying that he took advantage of the collapse of the mountain near the Nanshan mining area to climb and bite.

After all, he has never done anything out of the ordinary since he took office.

He Lingjiang lowered his head and looked at his wet clothes that were still dripping.

It rained heavily this night, and the spring thunder bursts, and the rain is still getting bigger and bigger.

In early spring, it is rare to encounter such heavy rain!

If a mountain collapsed in a mountainous area like Nanshan, it would not be a strange thing.

Pei You was still looking at the lights on the stone wall, He Lingjiang followed his gaze, and when he saw the candle lights on the stone wall, he couldn't help but freeze.

Candles are expensive, and they shouldn't be used for lighting in this mine. What's more, she remembered that the oil lamps were clearly used here when she came here.

Pei You had already stepped forward to take a closer look at the candle.

The bright flame of the candle wick danced gently, the middle of the candle body was melted by the high temperature, and a puddle of wax oil accumulated around the candle wick.

During the breath, the wax oil was drawn and burned by the candle wick, and then it turned into a new liquid. The candle also became shorter bit by bit in this cycle, and now it is only two fingers long.

Pei You raised his hand to hold the candle, and saw that there was a lead embedded in the bottom of the candle body, extending from the bottom of the candle along the stone wall.

This lead was originally gray, the same color as the stone wall, and the cave was dark, so the two of them didn't see it.

He Lingjiang groped along the lead, and found that something was wrong on the ground next to the stone wall. The stones here were a little loose.

She took out a short dagger from her sleeve, inserted it into the crack of the stone and pried it, and the stone was moved.

Pei You frowned slightly, squatted down and helped her remove the stone with one hand, revealing what was buried underneath.

The brown-black powder was piled up in the one-foot-square cave.

It's gunpowder!

He Lingjiang's heart froze, and he used a short dagger to test it. The powder did not reach the end of the dagger and did not touch the bottom.

Such a large amount of gunpowder is all piled up in a small space, and once it explodes, it is enough to shake the mountain.

He Lingjiang took out the dagger, cut off the lead with his backhand, and then looked at Pei You, who was still holding the candle in one hand: "Stand farther!"

If the candle accidentally fell down and fell into the powder room, the two of them would be finished.

"puff!"

Pei You blew out the candle in his hand and put it back in place: "What are you afraid of, can I be careless about something that is at stake?"

He Lingjiang glanced at him: "I'm afraid your hands will slip."

There was a candle on the opposite side, she quickly went over, blew out the candle, raised the candle body to see, and saw that there was another lead extending down from the bottom.

He Lingjiang pulled out the lead, only to find that the lead was still connected to the previous one.

Really good plan!

When the candle burns out, the lead wire at the bottom will be ignited, and the lead wire will go all the way down the stone wall and connect to the powder room under the stone slab.

At that time, as long as there is a "bang", the entire hole will collapse.

I'm afraid it's not just these two places. Since Liu Yuan wants to bomb the mine, he will blow it up completely, making it impossible for people to check.

He Zheng also arrived at this time with two of his subordinates.

He Lingjiang came out this time, and although he brought Jingwei with him, there were not many people. In addition, there was a trouble with the supervisor and collector, and Liu Da and several others had to be guarded. At this time, they were stretched.

He Lingjiang pointed to several main mines, and instructed: "When one person sees a candle on the stone wall, first blow out the candle flame, and then pull out the lead wire at the bottom of the candle body, so that no one will take the opportunity to ignite it. "

"Then I will inform the miners of the heavy rain tonight. There is a danger of collapse here. Let people get out of the mine first and avoid other places."

She also warned: "Remember, if it is not necessary, don't say that someone bombed mines, so as not to cause panic and accidents."

"Each mine road, can the number of liquidators be complete when they come out?"

Speaking of this, her eyes sharpened: "If you encounter someone who takes the opportunity to make trouble, kill them immediately."

He Zheng and the others froze on their faces, clasped their hands, and then flew away to several main mines.

He Lingjiang tapped the remaining two mines and said to Pei You, "You and I are in our own place."

Pei You nodded, and jumped into the mine.

He Lingjiang picked up a few rubble before entering the mine. When he encountered the candle burning on the stone wall, he ejected the stone to destroy it, and then quickly stepped forward and pulled out the lead connected to the underground gunpowder.

All the way down, there are three gunpowder buried in a mine tunnel.

If this is the case for every mine, plus the two entrances, there will be at least seventeen.

Such a large amount of gunpowder is enough to blow up the mines that were mined here, and even flatten the top of a small mountain.

At that time, a sentence "heavy rain washed down the mountain" will cover everything cleanly, so that no trace of private mining can be found.

After He Lingjiang cleaned up all the candles and leads, he called out loudly, "Everyone!"

"It's raining heavily in the mountains tonight, and there is a danger of the mountain collapsing. Please get out of the mine as soon as possible and take shelter elsewhere!"

She used her inner breath, and her voice gradually spread in circles along the large and small mines.

The miners who were chiseling the wall couldn't help but stop when they heard the sound. After listening carefully to the content of the words, they immediately put down the hammer and chisel in their hands, and half bent their bodies and drilled out of the mine tunnel.

Seeing He Lingjiang standing in the middle of the main mine road, the miners couldn't help but be stunned: "This lady, are you just shouting?"

"Yes." He Lingjiang said.

The miner frowned: "Is what you said true? Don't think it's funny, deceive me and wait."

"What are you doing?" He Lingjiang lifted his wet sleeves, "Everyone see what I describe, and you know it's true that it's raining heavily outside."

A middle-aged man with a short beard stood up at this time: "Who is the lady? Why do you know that I am waiting here for quarrying?"

The mine here is private mining, the entrance of the cave is hidden, and there is a hidden stone gate. No one knows about it. Even the miners, they all stay on the mountain and are not allowed to go down the mountain easily.

Why did such a young lady suddenly appear and know where they were mining?

Could it be that the government found out that there were people here privately, and sent people to lure them out?
When he said that, the eyes of the people in the mine looking at He Lingjiang suddenly changed, and their minds floated.
