Chapter 810 A Mess of Chaos (1)
Zhang Tian was surrounded by the crowd, and the surrounding villagers kept moving forward, shrinking the encirclement.

The women working in the fields couldn't bear it after all, but their words were mild and they couldn't influence the decisions of the villagers. They sighed and their steps seemed quite heavy.

"Haha, kid, you're bound to escape today. We've dealt with you. Once your mother dies, our secret will never be revealed!"

The village chief held up a machete and laughed three times. For him, killing people is the most common thing. As long as he sees suspicious outsiders being killed by the villagers and digging a hole in the back mountain to bury him, he does it like a ghost. Feel, no one found.

"Secret? Are you saying that there are iron mines on the mountain? Village chief, you colluded with outsiders to mine mines privately. It is a serious crime to kill your head if you are known by others."

There was no way to retreat, and Zhang Tian was no longer afraid. He straightened his back, raised his head, and squinted his eyes to look at the expressions of the villagers.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, everyone's complexions changed a few times, and their eyes kept rolling, obviously with a guilty conscience.

"So you have to die even more."

The village head sneered, provoking Zhang Tian, ​​"You're smart enough, but your fate is bad. If your father followed us back then, he wouldn't be like this now."

"Dayue's law is bullshit! I know that if you don't have money, you will be hungry!"

After the village head cursed, he said with a smile, "What do you think we should do? The magistrate of the county will bless... lose his head? Let's see who dies faster."

The strong sunlight scorched Zhang Tian's body, and his sweat dried up all the way, but his heart couldn't stop the chills.

In the end, the purpose was to delay time, he didn't want to miss the last chance to survive, so he cheated the village chief, but got a shocking secret.

Dad's death was not an accident, but was killed by the villagers' union, mining mines privately, with the support of the county master, no wonder, no wonder they killed and silenced, with nothing to fear.

Mo Yan and Mo Zi, who arrived in advance, listened to the words of the village chief. If the magistrate of Xiaqiu was involved, the problem would be quite serious.

Zhang Tian had to be rescued, but saving Zhang Tian was tantamount to scaring the snake. The person behind the private mining would not be the county magistrate alone, and there was at least one big fish behind it.

In an instant, Mo Yan suddenly understood the deep meaning of Wanqi Yuling's words. Her mind was clear, and a clue flashed away in her mind.Just when Mo Yan was about to rush in to save people, a big man in the crowd suddenly said, "Village chief, Zhang Tian's mother is still in the inn, what if the mother-in-law doesn't die and knows our secret?"

The master behind it said that it is better to kill thousands of people by mistake than to let one go.If Zhang Tian's mother and son hadn't brought foreigners to the village, they wouldn't have murdered them.

The village chief couldn't hold his breath, and regarded Zhang Tian as a dead person, and told the truth. They were very suspicious that Zhang Tian had revealed the secret to outsiders.

"Let's kill Zhang Tian, ​​what should we do if the outsider ran away with that woman? Why don't we use Zhang Tian as a bait to lure those people to the village, and send someone to notify the county master to catch them all."

A few able-bodied men in the village pulled the village chief out of the circle. After discussion, everyone felt that it was feasible.

"I'm afraid this kid won't listen to us, what if he doesn't cooperate?"

The village chief wanted to give himself a mouthful, but he couldn't keep his mind hidden. In the early years, Zhang Gui was very popular in the village, and his position as the village chief was hard to keep.

Later, he tried every means to find an opportunity to kill Zhang Gui, and the villagers looked up to him. The mining was not up to the villagers, but someone gave them a lot of money every year.

"Use his mother's threat, and he has to submit obediently."

Zhang Tian is the most filial, and he has no other choice, he will definitely be led by the nose.

After discussing for a while, the villagers all approved the proposal, and someone immediately reported to the county government office, while the village chief was doing Zhang Tian's ideological work.

"As long as you introduce foreigners into the village, we will give you and your mother a chance, otherwise..."

The village chief didn't finish his sentence, and his purpose was self-evident.

It is not impossible to send people to the inn to silence the rumors, but I heard that the court sent people to Lizhou to investigate Zeng Zhifu. What they did was too obvious and they would be targeted. The county master is not good at being a man.

Lie to the village, the place is blocked, and they have the final say on how to deal with it. After killing and burying, no one can find anyone.

Zhang Tian raised his head and glanced at the village chief lightly. Is this the family member whose blood is thicker than water?Dressed in a human coat, the inside is a beast!

A typical scam, if he tricked his benefactor back to the village, none of them would survive.

Even if you die, how can you hurt others?

Seeing the resolute look in Zhang Tian's eyes, Mo Yan secretly thought that it was not good. She picked up a small stone from the grass where she was hiding, and shot it at his hand.

There was a clear tingling sensation in his hand, Zhang Tian was just about to refuse, but was shot again, this time he seemed to understand, agreed to the conditions of the village chief, here Mo Yan followed with a sigh of relief.

Concentrating just now, Mo Yan was particularly afraid that the stone would hit the village chief. The distance between him and Zhang Tian was too close, and the stone brushed past the village chief's leg.

This move is still learned from the emperor's uncle, but she has only practiced for a short period of time, and her internal strength is not so deep, so there will definitely be problems with the long range.

After the discussion, the village chief was worried, fearing that Zhang Tian would escape his control, so he wanted to personally send him back to the inn, and invite everyone to the village in the name of apologizing.

Until Zhang Tian didn't lie to anyone, he was safe for the time being.

"Mo Zi, do you know why the people of Zhangjia Village are so confident?"

Mo Yan patted the floating dirt on her body, and seeing guards ambushing around, she backed away gradually, covered her figure with a big tree, and left the village quietly.

"The magistrate is blessed, of course they are fine."

Mo Zi took a deep breath, the fact that there was an iron mine in Xiaqiu was concealed, and it was not reported to the imperial court. Although it would waste a lot of manpower and material resources to mine mines privately, the subsequent profits are extremely considerable, even exceeding that of selling salt.

When it came to the income, Mo Zi pondered for a moment, and said uncertainly, "The servant guesses that there are still people above the magistrate of Xiaqiu County, and it may involve a certain adult in the court of the capital."

The people behind the scenes are the ones who really make a fortune silently, perhaps earning more money than the national treasury of Dai Viet.

"Not just money."

Mo Yan took a deep breath, and she suddenly became enlightened. She smiled and said, "It's a surprise to come to Xiaqiu. We haven't figured out who is Yuan Huanzhi's confidant in the court. It's time for the truth to be revealed."

Confidant?Some people mine mines without telling the court, what does it have to do with the barbarians?Mo Zi didn't want to understand, her eyes were blank.

Mo Yan nodded secretly, hooking the corners of his mouth, without explaining.

In fact, it is very simple. There are many frictions on the border of Da Vietnam. The barbarians are rampant in the north, controlling the Great Wu, and their claws are very long. The small countries in the south want to take advantage of the barbarian invasion and want to get a share.

What is most needed in war is not only supplies such as food and medicinal materials, but also machetes for killing the enemy. These are all iron tools.
