After Ye Hanyu entered the room, the emperor put the letter on the table, "Did something come up?"

"My son didn't dare to ask further questions. He was afraid of arousing the suspicion of Wei Zhixian, so he could only lure him with a profit. The Nanshan mine may have something to do with King Heng."

Hearing this, the emperor immediately threw Lord Lu's secret letter to him, "Lord Lu also tried King Hengjun from Xing Bisheng. I always knew that King Hengjun was not as useless as he showed, but I really didn't expect that He would be that brave."

He didn't even expect that the sixth child could get the same result as Lu Yushi after just chatting with that county magistrate for two cups of tea.

In the morning, General Hu sent someone to send the news. He had rushed to the outside of Pingling County with two thousand elite soldiers at midnight last night. In order not to attract attention, he went straight to the mountain. He originally planned to wait for the private railway It's not necessary to transport it to the boundary of the capital, but now that the owner of the private mine is known to be King Hengjun.

The emperor immediately dismissed a letter and asked Jia Er to send it to General Hu, and asked Jia San to take the seal of Lord Wei. After Hu Dajun blocked Nanshan, the county town was also blocked. Take them all together, Xiao Shu should be responsible for these matters, and his people have already had a clear understanding of the interpersonal relationship in the mine.

On the last day of June, Pingling County, which was usually calm, suddenly became tense. First, a large group of soldiers appeared from nowhere, and at [-] o'clock in the evening, they surrounded the entire Nanshan Mountain, and fierce battles broke out on the mountain. , People in the distance also saw the fire on the mountain brightly, and suspected that someone set fire on the mountain.

This commotion lasted most of the night, and the next day people discovered that entry and exit were not allowed in Pingling County.

Then the people in the city heard another news that their magistrate was arrested.

On Nanshan, General Hu detained a group of miners together, and served meals according to order. Each person had two steamed buns with noodles, porridge, and a large pot of pickles.

These miners wept while eating: "Is this our last meal?"

"Damn old grandson, what nonsense are you talking about? Those damn gangs were finally caught, don't scare me!"

Someone stopped holding the steamed buns in mid-air, and he was also worried, "We are mining iron ore privately. I heard that it is a death penalty. Hey~ Why am I like this..."

The scene was suddenly silent, and suddenly someone said loudly: "I said, are you stupid? Since it is the last meal, of course you have to eat enough. If you eat, you will die or die. If you don't eat, you will not eat."

The man went up and grabbed two steamed buns, filled a bowl of boiled rotten rice porridge, and ate it without a sound.

This person has a big heart, but other people are not like this, and they can't eat with a bowl.

A man who was slightly taller than the others said: "I have only one son in my family. After more than a year of marriage, I didn't even keep a son. My father's health is not good. Our old Ma's family will never be born here! "

In fact, the coolies who come early and late can be clearly distinguished by their bodies. The earlier they come, the thinner they will be. Those who still have some flesh are those who came recently.

Jia Wu, who just came back, heard this and asked curiously, "Your surname is Ma?"

The burly young man who spoke just now nodded in surprise: "How do you know my surname is Ma?"

"Coincidentally, when we came to Pingling County, we passed by a village in Yunyang and stayed overnight at Wang's family. The family next door has the surname Ma. Their son just disappeared. I didn't expect to meet here."

It was rare for the man surnamed Ma to hear news from his family, and he was a little excited, but when he thought about his future fate, he felt that it was meaningless whether he knew it or not.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Jia Wu joked with a few people he knew: "Why don't you eat, is it because the food doesn't suit your appetite?"

"Who can eat the meal of severed head?"

Jia Wuyi's always expressionless face almost collapsed: "Who told you that this is a beheaded meal? I just found out the news, General Hu's people are counting, you... we were arrested to do this The coolies all have a small amount of compensation, and after the statistics are completed, the money will be distributed, and we can go back to our hometown after receiving the money, this is the order of the current emperor, who dare not listen to it?"

Jiawu took the opportunity to publicize for the emperor, and he didn't talk nonsense, it was indeed an order from the emperor.

"What? Hanako, is what you said true? Not only do we not have to die, but we can also get compensation?"

"Is this really the order of the Holy Spirit? Give us back the money? Niangle, God is merciful, God is merciful!"

"What God's grace, it's clearly the emperor's grace, long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"

"When I get home, I will set up a longevity tablet for the emperor and his elders, offering three sticks of incense every day!"

The atmosphere on the mountain suddenly became lively, and Ma Zhiqiang rushed to the side of the steamed bun basin, grabbed four steamed buns, and handed two of them to Jiawu: "Brother Huazi, tell me about the family affairs, my father is still in good health." Well, has my daughter-in-law returned to her mother's house, how is my mother?"

Jia Wu reluctantly took a steamed bun, and someone next to him served him a bowl of porridge and pickled vegetables with chopsticks. Well, you have a daughter-in-law, and your family spent a lot of money looking for you..."

Ma Zhiqiang: ... What did he hear?He has a son?He has a son!
……

One day later, the people under General Hu Da worked out the wages of these people. There is no such a large amount of cash on the mountain. The source of funds is all provided by the emperor, and part of it is relying on him to cheat people, ah no, it is to earn money. It came, and part of it was made up after Master Wei's mansion was raided.

A small seventh-rank county magistrate found more than 80 taels of silver including banknotes. It is conceivable how much money he was greedy for.

It has never been said that private mining of iron ore is a serious crime of decapitation.

As for those miners, they were deceived after all. The common people heard that there is a place where they can earn money, and they still care about food and housing. Anyone wants to try it. How can they regret it if they try it? late.

Therefore, the emperor never thought of punishing these workers, and asked General Hu to release them as soon as the money was issued.

The rest were those from the management and the guards, as well as the hidden stake left by King Heng Jun who was arrested by Xiao Shu and left in Pingling County.

In the prison in Pingling County, County Magistrate Wei sat on the ground with a blank expression on his face. There was a sound of footsteps outside the cell, and soon the man stopped in front of him, "Master Wei, the master asked me to come and see you. "

Mr. Wei suddenly got an idea, he has been sent to prison, let's see what good things he can do, is it possible that he is here to rob prison?
That person must be afraid that he will talk nonsense and want to kill him after he is escorted to Beijing.
