The people rushed to the court angrily, and Yan Mu had to ask the officials to take He Qiuer into prison.

The rain was still falling, this time in full force.

When taking He Qiuer down, Yan Mu asked her if she chose the day for the sacrifice ceremony because she knew it would rain today.

"When I was a child, I learned how to read the weather from a madman in the village. The sacrificial ceremony is not set on a certain day, but is adjusted at any time according to the weather. Otherwise, I would not have gathered those children early and locked them up for these days."

He Qiu'er still has some abilities, but it's a pity that he took a wrong path.

The people dispersed. Although they were not angry, their murdered children could not come back, and the evildoers had been punished. They could only accept the facts.

The Witch God Sect, which had deep roots in Panlong City and had countless followers, was completely wiped out on this day without wasting a single soldier.

In the back office, Taoist Priest Hongxuan stood under the corridor with a proud look on his face.

Yan Mu pulled Liu Yunxiang over and looked outside like him. The rain had gathered into small puddles, and the sky was still gray. It would rain for a long time.

"The Taoist Master is indeed amazing." Yan Mu said with sincere appreciation.

Hongxuan twitched his beard, "I rely on the trust of the prince and the queen mother. I wish I didn't disappoint you two."

"But when will this rain stop?"

"This is not easy to figure out."

"We must not cause any disaster."

However, as soon as these words were said, the guards from the palace hurried in, saying that it was a guy from Lingyun's caravan who wanted to see Liu Yunxiang.

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he guessed that something had happened, otherwise the guys in the caravan would not have found the palace.She hurriedly walked along the corridor to the outer courtyard, and Yan Mu followed.

"I am with you."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "I just hope it doesn't happen to cause any serious harm to people's lives."

The two hurried to the front yard. When the guy saw her, he rushed up and knelt down.He obviously came in the rain, his whole body was soaked, and his expression was filled with shock and pain.

"My boss, I wish you the best, something happened to him!"

"Zhu Boss? What's wrong with him?"

Zhu Yifan, the leader of the caravan, is Jin Yan’s husband.Upon hearing that something had happened to him, Liu Yunxiang's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

"Our caravan was transporting three trucks of jade minerals from West Vietnam back to Yangzhou for processing. We didn't want to encounter a sudden heavy rain, so we hurried forward and were hit by stones rolling down the mountain while passing through a canyon. The jade minerals were buried. Below, Zhu Baotou could have escaped, but in order to save a man, he was buried underneath." The man said with red eyes, "Boss, please send someone to dig out the gravel quickly, Xu Zhubaotou is still alive."

Liu Yunxiang covered his heart, his face turned very ugly when he heard this.

"Buried deeply?" she asked again.

The man nodded, "The gravel on both sides rolled down like a tide, blocking the road in the canyon. It is precisely because it is buried too deep that we can't dig it out with the strength of more than a dozen of us, so we came to beg you."

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly looked at Yan Mu, who nodded at her, "Don't worry, I'll make arrangements."

Yan Mu immediately summoned a team of soldiers and horses, asked the man to lead the way, and went to rescue people in the rain.Liu Yunxiang also wanted to go, but Yan Mu asked her to stay in the government office and wait for news.

The rain kept falling and didn't stop until almost noon on the second day.There was no news over there yet, so Liu Yunxiang couldn't wait any longer, so he took Zijin and Feng Zheng and rushed over.

When she arrived at the canyon, she realized how bad the situation was. The rolling gravel not only blocked the road, but also formed a hill. Yan Mu was leading the soldiers to move the gravel away.

Because it was buried too deep, hundreds of people worked all night, but still did not dig it out.

Seeing this situation, Liu Yunxiang was already desperate, and Zhu Yifan was afraid...

When Yan Mu saw her, he patted the muddy water on his body, stepped forward and hugged her, "Let's dig out these gravels first. There may be a miracle."

Liu Yunxiang sighed heavily, "If he really has bad intentions, what should Jin Yan do?"

The young couple had a great relationship. When they left Zhenbei, Jinyan was still pregnant with her second child.She thought Jinyan was a member of the family, and she thought Zhu Yifan was also a member of the family.

"Since you're here, just wait under the shed over there. There will definitely be good news." Yan Mu comforted Liu Yunxiang for a few words, and then went to lead the digging of gravel.

Liu Yunxiang was pulled under the quilt by the quilt. At this time, the caravan man brought a pot of hot tea that they had just boiled.

"That area is so big, we can't squeeze in, and we can't help." A waiter said with a worried look on his face.

Liu Yunxiang turned to look at the caravan guys. They were all squatting on the ground, all looking downcast.

"Why did you take this path?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

In the past, because of the tax increase in Xizhou, they usually bypassed Xizhou, passed through Northwest Pass, passed Zhenbei, then went to Yanzhou and then headed south back to Yangzhou. Although it was a big detour, they could at least save some tax money.Although she is determined to reform Xizhou, it will take some time to implement it. Until then, the caravan has always gone this way.

The man sighed heavily and said, "These jade stones are heavy. We are taking the route to the Northwest Pass. We have to pass through several dangerous mountain passes along the way. There have been incidents of rocks falling into the cliffs before. This time we changed to this route. It’s because this batch of jade materials is too valuable and I don’t dare to take risks. I would rather get more tax money and send it to Yangzhou safely, but who would have thought that I would be so unlucky to encounter this kind of thing.”

Liu Yunxiang nodded, so that's it.

"But this road is more rugged, so it should be difficult, right?"

"Yes, other goods are okay, but this jade is too heavy, and we have to push the cart most of the time. Especially after passing Panlong City, the terrain at Hukou is better, and the journey is too strenuous."

"In fact, these jade stones can be processed into various jewelry ornaments in Panlong City and then transported back to Yangzhou. This is much easier."

"This is the best, but there is no jade processing workshop in Panlong City. Even if there is, I'm afraid the skills are not as good as the masters in Jiangnan."

This conversation actually gave Liu Yunxiang an idea to build multiple jade processing workshops in Panlong City to form a jade processing industry.Xiyue produces jade, and Xizhou itself also has good jade materials. It is very suitable to build a jade processing workshop here.

This idea went through Liu Yunxiang's mind, but she was most worried about Zhu Yifan.

When it was almost dark, the digging was finally opened there.

As the last bit of rubble was moved away, the soldiers first saw a large pool of blood. Just when they thought the man might have been smashed into meat pies, they saw a large stone, and Zhu Yifan was sandwiched between the huge stone and the collapse. In the middle of the trolley going down.

"Rescue people quickly!"

Liu Yunxiang ran over and saw Zhu Yifan being pulled out of the gap by the soldiers. He was covered in blood, and his head, body and face were covered in blood.

A soldier tried his breath, but couldn't find it. Then he wiped his carotid artery, "There seems to be a trace of breath."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Bring him back to the city quickly and ask the doctor to save him!" (End of Chapter)
