Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 315 The Mine Collapsed

The torrential rain continued for three days, and when one stepped on the ground, muddy water came up and sucked the feet tightly, and the hem of the clothes and the uppers of the shoes were soaked in muddy water, which was very troublesome.

A mine in the Laoshankou Gold Mine collapsed under the rainwater, and dozens of miners including the team leader were trapped. The Jingzhao Yin Yamen quickly intervened, and the gold mine began to shut down for renovation.

Song Butou led the people to stand above the pothole, and when the raindrops fell on the coir raincoat, they merged into streams and trickled down. He wiped the rain curtain covering his eyes and shouted to the bottom: "Work harder!" , hurry up!"

The rope was put down as far as possible, and those who were able to walk up alone grabbed the rope and asked to be pulled up.Boom, a thunder exploded in the sky, and the people who were pulling the rope loosened their hands in shock, plopped, and the rope fell down together with the people on the edge of the pit.

Song Butou was so angry that he cursed, "Hurry up, hold on to the rope, and I will bury whoever lets go."

As soon as the words fell, the stones and soil on the opposite side fell together with a stream of turbid rainwater and poured into the mine.Ouch!
The pouring rain has become pattering, plus Jing Zhaoyin's official errands, a total of nine people are missing.Looking at the mine that was tightly blocked by sand, gravel and mud, Fu Yin sealed up the entire gold mine with a dark face.

"My lord, Song Butou caught a sneaky man in a room next to the mine, and found a lot of ledgers from his baggage. Song Butou invites you to go and have a look."

As soon as Fu Yin heard this, he carried his clothes and went there. When he got there, he found that the person was tied up and thrown in a corner, and five account books were placed on the table.He flipped a page casually and took a deep breath.

"Go and find all the account books of the mine, as long as there are written records, bring them to me." He will read the accounts and understand the situation at Laoshankou. In addition, Prince Yan has been watching the household department. Yamaguchi's report caught my heart.Now it looks really tricky.Although this place is not making a fortune every day, it is definitely not as depressed as mentioned in the booklet presented by the Minister of the Household Department to the Holy One.

"My lord, the account book is here. It is said that this person is responsible for recording the amount of gold dug every day." Song Butou ordered someone to carry two boxes full of various records, and found out the account book and put it on the table. A comparison, the problem is clear at a glance.

The Minister of the Ministry of Accounts made false accounts.One set of accounts is kept for the Holy Majesty to look at, and one set of accounts is kept for future contingencies.Looking through the work records again, there are no protective measures in the mine on such a heavy rainy day, and the workers are still working in the rain.

Fu Yin sneered as he pressed these record books, the prince had never been able to pry open the account department, but now he found a gap in his hands.Immediately, he called his confidants, sent more people to look at the old mountain pass, and then returned to the city with all the notebooks and accountants to Prince Yan's mansion.

Song Butou looked at the mine that had been filled with water, his eyes were red, and nine lives were lost.Bubbles, bubbles burst out of the muddy pit, and a pale hand was exposed.

"Hurry up and save people." After he finished speaking, he jumped down, and the surrounding guards hurriedly fished out the person, and one survived!Song Butou lay in the muddy water and let the rain wash away. God is sorry, he finally survived.

"Boss, boss, there are people from the outskirts camp."

It was Guan Rong's lieutenant general who came, Song catcher wiped the muddy water on his face and saluted respectfully, before he opened his mouth, the lieutenant first smiled and said to Song catcher: "Song catcher has worked hard." Then his face became a little heavy, " Today, several soldiers in the battalion came to ask for funeral leave one after another. The general attached great importance to it, so he sent this deputy general to investigate. It turned out that some relatives of these people were working in the mine and were accidentally buried, but the mine ignored them. They all It’s a poor family, and they don’t have much money to pay for the funeral, the general means to pay them part of the military salary first.”

"The general order of this deputy general, come to the mine to see if there is anything strange here."

Song Butou's heart skipped a beat. If the people in the military camp were really involved in this matter, I'm afraid it would be impossible to be kind.

"Please wait a moment, my lord has just returned to the yamen to sort out the case files, and the younger one will send someone to call the lord back."

"Lao Song has been arrested."

In Ranchun Tea House, Xiao Xuan was making tea for Su Tiange, "I don't understand why Prince Yan is involved in the matter of the gold mine?"

"General Guan is the prince's man, known all over the world, and the status of a soldier is quite special, so he cannot easily intervene in the government affairs. But from a reasonable point of view, General Guan can investigate and follow the vine to find out the crime of the Ministry of Finance taking advantage of its power and dereliction of duty. But until now In the end, it depends on who can seize the opportunity, Wang Ye or Prince Yan, to win the Holy Majesty's military spirit, and to take the household department into his pocket."

Xiao Xuan always had an illusion when listening to him, that what he was facing was Su Tiange, not some old friend of hers, and he was meticulously considered from front to back layout to strategizing.

He had looked for her, and even went to the Ministry of Punishment to threaten and lure the Minister of Punishment, but he couldn't find anything.He started to check from Shen Yu's disappearance and finally met him two days ago. Shen Yu's whole person looked unrefined and decadent, and he didn't have the demeanor of a jade-faced Shura in the past.

Su Tiange really left, and his heart was also taken away, feeling guilty and regretful, if he hadn't hesitated so much when the father proposed to marry her to him, nothing would happen to her.

"My lord..."

"This king knows. If there is any progress on General Guan's side, this king will send someone to tell you. If you can win the Hubu this time, this king will grant you one wish."

"Thank you, my lord."

"You..." Xiao Xuan paused for a moment, took back the last words, and got up to leave.Su Tiange stood by the window looking at the roof and the sky outside, the shopkeeper knocked on the door and came in.

"Girl, Lilac is here, come to buy some snacks."

"Sell it to her."

"Ai Xiang gave birth to a son yesterday, and Ding Xiang ordered these fruit snacks for the banquet ten days later."

"Understood." The shopkeeper finished speaking and left. She sat down slowly while leaning on the table. Did Ai Xiang give birth?It was a happy event, but it was a pity that she couldn't see them.Now that Ai Hu is an uncle, Mrs. Zhou will definitely make a lot of children's clothes, and the housekeeper will give the little guy a long life lock.If she is still there, she will definitely prepare a special gift.

Cough, cough, dry throat, drink a cup of tea to feel better.

Dong dong, someone knocked on the door, and before she could speak, the person had already opened the door and entered.Jiang Chenzhi walked in with a disheveled face, and after sitting down, he found a cup and poured himself two cups of water before taking a deep breath.

"Do you know what I have been doing these days?"

"Blowing cold wind and hurting alone."

Chick, Jiang Chenzhi laughed at himself and said, "I went to investigate Master Xu from the Ministry of Rites. From Wujiang, my ancestral home, to the academy he used to study, and then to the Ministry of Rites, I felt like I was stunned."

"I'm looking forward to this Xu who has all kinds of problems, and has an old wife in his family. Then I can grab him and run to the palace, let the old prince withdraw the engagement and let Xiyan realize that he is not a good person. But I am afraid that Xi Yan is sad, and only hopes that he is a good person who can give Xiyan happiness."

"What was the result?"

"He is a good person, a good person who can give Xi Yan happiness." Jiang Chenzhi couldn't help but his eyes turned red, "Why is there always so much in life?" Jiang Chenzhi leaned on the table, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably with.

Yes, why there are always so many things in life, why bother?
