Chapter 275 Something is wrong

The centurion listened for a long time, and finally understood why he was so thoroughly hurt.

They don't think that they are weak, but if they want to compare with the imperial army, they are indeed defeated.Back then, three people were able to break into the Forbidden Army's camp and kill a centurion directly, without even a symbolic punishment afterwards.

This force, this family background, just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle!He had previously felt that no matter how strong Qin Mu's family background was, he would not be able to easily crush him to death.Looking at it now, it is true that people cannot press him to death, because there is no need to press him at all, just blowing one breath will kill him.

So, now he is a little thankful that his subordinates are weak.Otherwise, if the robbery is really successful, I guess I will be gone.Knowing that it is a trivial matter to have nothing, even if you have it, your home will be gone.

The centurion looked at Qin Mu with bitterness on his face.Qin Mu did drink the tea in his cup calmly.It wasn't until half a day later that the large army of shadow guards caught up with them, and then they rode their horses from the post station and hurried away.

With horses, the speed of travel is much faster.Moreover, with horses, there is another benefit... According to Gouzi, that group of people has horses.In other words, after the two sides started confrontation, those people were at least half cavalry.

There is no problem if they don't confront directly, but if they have to confront each other sometimes, the teenagers will suffer a lot in terms of mobility and impact if they don't have horses.

Now that there are enough horses, at least it can be guaranteed that no matter what the situation, they will not suffer.

However, when everyone arrived at the coal mine, they were a little surprised.The coal mine in front of me... At least on the outside, it looks quite normal?
Hundreds of peasants are shuttling at the entrance of the coal mine. Some of them are carrying loads, some are holding pickaxes. Every two people form a group, and the mining speed is extremely fast.

At a glance, there is nothing here at all, and even... the scale of mining is much larger than before Qin Mu left.

The teenagers and shadow guards around them had never seen the scene between them, but they could at least see that it looked like they had encountered some kind of military disaster, but instead looked at a scene full of excitement and enthusiasm.

Zi Shisan coughed lightly: "This... young master, looking at the situation, it doesn't seem like something went wrong? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Qin Mu frowned, first nodded, then shook his head.This scene, instead of being depressed, was so hot that it made him doubt what Gouzi said.However, Gouzi didn't follow because he was too weak, otherwise Qin Mu would definitely have to ask him.

Zi Shisan smiled and said: "Forget it! There is no problem, but it is a good thing! Although it was a waste of time, it is worth it after confirming that there is no problem here! Young master, since we are here, why don't we go and have a look?"

Qin Mu shook his head.In order not to alarm possible enemies, they chose to dismount and hide in the nearby woods to observe.The shadow guards naturally wouldn't reveal their figures, and with the help of the shadow guards, the teenagers were able to hide perfectly.

Qin Mu stared closely at the scene in front of him. Looking at it this way, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, but Qin Mu clearly felt... something was wrong with this scene!
As for what was wrong, he was still a little uncertain, but the instinctive reminder still made him not want to expose himself hastily.

He made a gesture, and everyone retreated quietly.At the same time, in the center of the coal mine, in a hastily built thatched shed, a person raised his head and looked in Qin Mu's direction, frowning.

In a valley, everyone got off their horses.Qin Mu didn't speak, but frowned, thinking about something.

Zi Shisan came up, coughed first, saw Qin Mu turn his head, and then said: "Young master, this...that coal mine doesn't seem to be a problem..."

Qin Mu shook his head: "I can't tell. It's just that I instinctively feel that something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Zi Shisan was surprised: "But, I don't think there is something wrong with the state of those civilian husbands?"

Zi Shisan added: "I am a scout among the shadow guards. I still have this insight. These folks are no different from others, and judging by the way they work, they don't look like problematic……"

Qin Mu nodded.He also paid special attention to the state of those civilian husbands just now.

It stands to reason that if someone seizes the coal mine, and then arrests people from surrounding villages to work here.Then, even if the peasants dare not speak out, there will always be some traces of resentment and anger when they work.

Not to mention being forced by bandits, even if it is a corvee organized by the government, it is inevitable to have such emotions.

The reason why the civilian husbands Qin Mu had found before did not do such a thing, and they were even very active, was because Qin Mu didn't let them do it for nothing, and they all gave money.If there is money to make, the state of the civilian husband will naturally be better.

However, these people came to grab the territory, so how can they be good people?Or did they also give money?

However, even if they gave the money, Gouzi clearly said before that their methods, and their tyranny, would be killers as soon as they appeared, and even Xiang Yu was restrained because he wanted to distract himself from protecting the peasants...

No... Qin Mu finally found out why something was wrong in his heart...

Qin Mu looked at the shadow guards and teenagers beside him, they were still bewildered.The only exceptions are Dian Wei and Zhu Qian.The two of them are similar to Qin Mu. Although they can't say it, they still clearly feel that something is wrong...

Qin Mu shook his head.No wonder this happened.Because, these strange feelings are not because of the state of the peasants, on the contrary, they are very normal!
What's abnormal is... none of the people they knew before was gone!
When no coal mines were discovered, Qin Mu hired at least 50 civilian workers just during the prospecting stage.After the coal mine was officially mined, Qin Mu even doubled the number of people and hired hundreds of people!

Today, there are more than 300 people in the coal mine. Although there are too many people, there will inevitably be many new faces, but... it is not impossible that there are no familiar faces!

He watched for a long time. These people were very skilled in movement, high in state, and produced a lot. It seemed that each of them was very skilled.

But how long have the mines been open?Even if it is the civilian husband I hired from the beginning, it is impossible to be so skilled, right?
