People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 86 Since the birth of the dog-head guillotine, more than twenty heads have been cut off in just three days.

When 10,000 taels of banknotes belonging to the Southeast Chamber of Commerce were placed on the table of Shengzhou Zhizhou.

Only then did Shengzhou Zhizhou feel that what he just said about burying more than a dozen miners under the mine, and also arresting all their families and burying them alive at a certain date was not so outrageous.

Although he is a sixth-grade official, his annual salary is only one or two hundred taels of silver.

And these ten thousand taels of silver were enough for him to work for ten years.

He was already forty-two years old. He felt that he had no hope of promotion, so he had to take a wider path to get rich.

So his face turned pale from just hearing that the newly opened mine had collapsed and there were more than a dozen craftsmen below, to one of joy.

"Father, don't worry, I never knew about this matter.

Isn’t it said that the newly opened mine will not open for another month?
When the time comes, let me go and have a look. The top of the mine can be reinforced.

As for those unruly people who are colluding with the Japanese, they should have been arrested long ago.

When the time comes, you give your order, and your subordinates will definitely send someone to cooperate. "

When the eunuch saw the face of Shengzhou Zhizhou, he also laughed, "So, you are a bit older now, but if you want to be in the officialdom, we think you should be promoted to a few more levels.

It is really a waste of talents for the imperial court that you have to settle here. "

After Shengzhou Zhizhou nodded and bowed to send the eunuch away, he looked at the bank note.

He slapped himself in the face and said to himself: "You, you may have given away your life because of this money."

But he sighed again: "But then again, who can resist the temptation of ten thousand taels of silver? I can't blame you. The only blame is that the salary given by the court is too small."

Although when he inspected the silver mine some time ago, he found that the newly opened mine was unstable.

Ask them to reinforce it before going down to mine.

He didn't feel sorry for the miners at that time, but he was afraid that he would be responsible if something happened.

But now after seeing this banknote, he felt that the lives and deaths of those one or two hundred people were nothing compared to these banknotes.

He even comforted himself, "Don't worry, no one will find out. As long as the insiders are eradicated and the mine is filled up, the money can be spent."

With these ten thousand taels of silver, I can buy some property in my hometown.

I think this is the end of my career as an official. After a few more years, I will be a rich man when I return to my hometown.

As for those one or two hundred people, just think of them as unlucky. "

As he spoke, he put the banknote into his cuff and patted it. Hearing the snapping sound of the banknote, he felt happy in his heart.

……

On the official road to Shengzhou.

Chen Han was sitting in the sedan when suddenly Wang Hu in front of him stopped his horse and shouted: "Stop the sedan!"

Then Liu Ting came to Chen Han's sedan and replied, "Someone is blocking the way in front of Tishuai!"

"Go and ask what's going on!"

Chen Han is willing to accept the demands made by the common people to him.

Stopping a sedan chair and complaining about injustice is something that often happens in dramas. This is the first time he has heard of it.

All the officials and even the sedan chairs of the Southeast Chamber of Commerce formed a two-mile-long queue and stopped on the official road.

When the officials behind saw Chen Han's sedan stopped, they muttered in their hearts: "Is something going to happen again?"

After Wang Hu and Liu Ting went to find out, they were extremely angry.

Liu Ting returned to Chen Han's sedan: "Tishuai, let me ask you clearly.

That man was a commoner in Shengzhou. He worked in the mine and almost died in the mine.

It is said that a landslide occurred in a newly opened mine, and more than a dozen miners were buried inside. However, the local magistrate and the eunuch Wei Hong, who was in charge of mining, not only refused to save people.

Instead, they buried the mine, and even arrested the family members and insiders of the dozen or so miners, saying they wanted to choose a day to bury them alive. "

When Chen Han heard this, he was furious: "Who is the person blocking the sedan chair? Why do you know so clearly?"

Liu Ting reported, “The one who blocked the sedan chair was one of the seventeen miners who narrowly escaped death.

After he escaped, he wanted to go home. Unexpectedly, he discovered on the way that his family and the entire people who knew about the newly opened mine had been arrested.

He followed all the way and heard the officers and soldiers saying that they wanted to bury all the people alive to cover up the matter.

The reason why they haven't buried the people alive yet is because you have to pass through Shengzhou, and they plan to eradicate all the people after you leave. "

Chen Han clenched his fists inside the sedan.

These officials in the middle and late Ming Dynasty really didn't have many good things.

"Change the route to Shengzhou City!!" After finishing speaking, Chen Han said again: "Instruct a few brothers to take the enemy back to the mine to check the situation, and then meet at the Shengzhou Station."

……

That afternoon.

The eunuch Wei Hong and the governor of Shengzhou met on the way to the First World War.

"Didn't you receive an official document saying that the leader's team will directly spare us Shengzhou? Why did you end up at the post station again?" Wei Hong asked the governor of Shengzhou.

The governor of Shengzhou was also very innocent: "Father, where do I know where to go? I was still thinking that the master who made Taiwan is gone, let's do that again, eh... I just want to be safe now."

The two people and the three magistrates came to the inn to see Chen Han.

Inside the inn.

"The eunuch guarding the city of Shengzhou came to see the master of the production department!" Wei Hong was shocked to see Chen Han so young.

The governor of Shengzhou even had a ghost in his heart, so he tremblingly paid homage.

The three magistrates also followed suit.

Chen Han looked at the two of them and gritted his teeth with hatred.

He pointed to the three guillotines placed at the door: "Do you know what those three things are?"

Several people shook their heads.

Chen Han explained: "It is a three-mouth guillotine. It was just made two days ago. Since the birth of the dog-head guillotine, more than 20 heads have been cut off in just three days."

When Chen Han said this, Wei Hong and Shengzhou Zhizhou shrank their necks in fright.

Oh my God, so many people were killed in three days?
Did Chen Han come to the Southeast to be an official or to wreak havoc in the Southeast?

Chen Han looked at them and said in a soft tone: "I like honest people. If someone cheats in front of me, I will kill them."

Wei Hong and Shengzhou Zhizhou were both frightened to death, but they still held tight.

In my heart, I told myself: Everything is fine.

Chen Han turned to look at them: "I have only two questions for you now."

"My lord, feel free to ask, I will tell you everything I know."

Wei Hong also smiled along with him: "Yes, yes, our family is not good at anything else, but our service to others is first-rate."

Chen Han was not polite to them, and asked directly: "The newly opened mine collapsed, and there are still people inside who haven't come out. You just buried it alive. What a generous job you did!"
