Chapter 665 The Disappeared Miner

Because of too much force, after saying this, the emperor began to cough violently.

Concubine Gao outside the door heard it, and hurriedly opened the door to come in and help the emperor with his back.

And Jiang Zhimian and the emperor had almost finished talking, so Concubine Gao was not allowed to go out again.

Before leaving Qinsi Temple, Jiang Zhimian told the emperor in a low voice that he will look for evidence when he goes back now, and he believes that he will find it soon.

The emperor nodded to her and said thank you.

When he returned to the palace, Jiang Zhimian changed into a suit of clothes and rode straight to the iron mine.

She was still thinking about how to go to the iron mine to check it would be more appropriate, but now she happened to take advantage of the queen mother's request for a new crystal chandelier and said that she would choose the crystal herself.

In this way, you can enter and exit the iron mine at will.

After arriving at the iron mine, Jiang Zhimian explained the reason.

Mei Zhao happened to be there too, and after hearing this, he smiled and said, "Why bother the little princess, just tell me if you want Crystal, I will definitely pick the best one and send it to the palace, the mine is dirty Damn, that's not good."

"It's okay, I'll go in and pick it out myself, maybe I can see other things, and then I'll make something more interesting for the Queen Mother." Jiang Zhimian said perfunctorily.

Hearing this, Mei Zhao couldn't say anything, so he had to let Jiang Zhimian in.

Anyway, Jiang Zhimian couldn't see anything when he went in, so he didn't care.

After Jiang Zhimian walked around the mine with a lantern in hand, he only saw some crystals and saltpeter powder on the ground.

Finding chunks of saltpeter is a problem.

It is really strange, it is clear that the saltpeter was transported out from here, but it is impossible to find where the saltpeter was dug.

Jiang Zhimian was very puzzled.

After searching around again, I couldn't breathe in such a long mine tunnel, so I went out.

Mei Zhao probably guessed that she couldn't find anything, so she left in peace.

As soon as he came out, Chi Mohan handed over a bowl of cold tea to Jiang Zhimian.

Jiang Zhimian was not polite, so he gurgled down the drink after picking it up.

"I couldn't find it. I went in many times, but I didn't find it, and many of the mines were like mazes. I didn't see them on the blueprints. Mei Zhao said that they dug the wrong mines, so they were not counted. " Chi Mohan said.

Jiang Zhimian asked, "Could it be in these?"

"It's useless, without blueprints, it's easy to find it when you go in." Chi Mohan said.

Jiang Zhimian really wants to scold his mother 1 times.

When the chicken thief got up, Mei Zhao was truly invincible.

After complaining, there was nothing to gain, so Jiang Zhimian could only go back home.

But when he got on the horse and rode outside the door, he found that the horse refused to go.

Looking down, I don't know when a child with a whole body in black hugged the horse's leg.

Fortunately, the horse was very docile, and its legs did not move when it was hugged, otherwise the child might have been kicked away.

Even so, Jiang Zhimian was still sweating from the fright, quickly got off the horse, and carried the child aside.

"Why are you hugging the horse's legs, do you know it's dangerous?" Jiang Zhimian asked.

The child remained silent, looking at Jiang Zhimian timidly with both eyes.

"What's your name?" Jiang Zhimian thought he was frightening him, so he softened his voice.

"My name is Xuan'er." The child said in a low voice.

"Xuan'er, can you tell me why you hugged the horse's legs?" Jiang Zhimian asked again.

"You are the little princess, right?" Xuan'er answered irrelevantly.

Well done, ask yourself what is this for?

Although Jiang Zhimian didn't know what the kid was thinking, he nodded honestly, "Yes, I'm the little princess."

As soon as the words fell, Xuan'er knelt down in front of Jiang Zhimian, "Little princess, can you give me a talisman too."

Amulet, what the hell?
Jiang Zhimian froze for a moment, then remembered that in order to fight for the welfare of those miners in front of Mei Zhao, he gave the old lady an iron block, saying it was a talisman.

This little kid wants one too?
"You don't want to work, do you do too much work, so you are very tired?" Jiang Zhimian asked.

Xuan'er shook her head, "I'm not tired, everyone loves me, I just need to pick up stones outside, but my parents, they need amulets."

"Are they tired?" Jiang Zhimian asked again.

At this moment, Xuan'er's eyes became confused, and she told Jiang Zhimian, "I don't know if they are tired or not."

kindness?
What kind of answer is that.

When Jiang Zhimian wanted to speak again, the guard who guarded the gate was about to come out.

Jiang Zhimian simply hugged Xuan'er and rode towards the city.

After returning to the city, he was not in a hurry to take Xuan'er back to the palace.

Now that nothing is clear about the situation, it's better not to take Xuan'er back in a hurry, so as not to cause trouble for yourself.

She randomly found a noodle restaurant, ordered two bowls of chicken noodles for Xuan'er, and asked him to eat first.

Watch him closely while he eats.

If this child was sent by Mei Zhao, then he is not a real miner, even if he looks pitiful, he is just pretending.

But Xuan'er in front of him ate very vigorously, and it seemed that he hadn't eaten so much for a long time.

Even the soup was finished in the end.

It looked like he was really hungry.

And after Xuan'er finished eating, Jiang Zhimian asked Xuan'er to tell the whole story.

It turned out that Xuan'er and his parents had fled to the capital, and they had been working in the iron mine, but since his parents were called away yesterday, they never came back.

Xuan'er couldn't find it everywhere, so she saw Jiang Zhimian.

Taking the risk, he wanted to ask Jiang Zhimian for another amulet, and then told the miner in charge that it was given to his parents by the little princess.

For the sake of the amulet, the steward will definitely let his parents come back.

"I was called away yesterday, and I haven't come back today. Did I leave the mine?" Jiang Zhimian asked.

Xuan'er shook her head, "No, I saw them take my parents into the mine tunnel, as well as Uncle Yuan and Aunt Zhou. After they went in, they never came back."

As she said that, Xuan'er was so frightened that she burst into tears, "It was like this before. There are always people who go in and never come out again. Little Princess, please, please give me a talisman, I want my parents return."

Jiang Zhimian smelled something unusual.

People who go in never come back, so where did they go?
These disappearing people are probably related to those saltpeters that can't be found no matter how hard they look?

Thinking about this, Jiang Zhimian reached out and touched Xuan'er's head, "I will find a way to find your parents, but you must tell me the truth about the question I will ask you next, okay?"
