The rebirth of the evil woman is not easy to mess with

Chapter 193 Exploring Bai'e Mountain at Night!
The next day, Li Qingmu went to the Yamen as usual.

In the yamen of Yushitai, the colleagues still gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and laughing with each other, very happy.

After Li Qingmu arrived, Yushi came up to tease him: "Li Yushi, I heard that you went outing with the young lady yesterday? Tsk tsk, you really enjoy it, and envy others!"

This is making things difficult. Not long after I went to the government office, I have to ask for leave to play. What is this?
malfeasance!

Li Qingmu smiled slightly and said: "If Liu Yushi thinks it's good, he can also bring his wife with him."

"Humph!"

The picky Liu Yushi waved his sleeves, turned around and entered his room.

"Brother Li, yesterday you asked for leave for the whole day, and many colleagues at Yushitai complained a lot, so you should be more careful next time."

After entering the duty room, Su Shi came up to remind him.

"Impeachment?" Li Qingmu laughed lowly, "Then let them impeach. Besides, I have to ask for leave tomorrow."

If you have to act tonight, you will definitely not be able to wake up tomorrow, and you will take a day off as a catch-up sleep.

"you……"

Su Shi probably didn't expect Li Qingmu to be so bold, even crazy, and Yu Shi didn't sit still, so he just did it, is it really okay?

If Su Shi was a utilitarian person, he should keep a distance and draw a clear line with him at this moment, but he didn't do that.

"Brother Li, I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. There are quite a few people staring at you at Yushitai..."

"Brother Su, it's all right!"

Li Qingmu patted him on the shoulder with a smile, his confident appearance gave Su Shi the illusion, could it be... there is something hidden in this?

That night, Li Qingmu and Miyue went to Bai'e Mountain again.

The two went to an inn first, got a room and changed into outfits similar to those of a small worker, making sure that no one would follow them, and then went all the way to Mount Bai'e.

It was midnight now.

It was terribly dark, there were many graves on Bai'e Mountain, many places were deserted, and there were ghostly ghostly lights at night, which was very scary to watch.

The two kept moving forward and soon came to the cave.

It was already night, there were four people guarding the entrance of the cave, but now there were only two people left, so it was a good opportunity to attack.

"We have to find a way to lure them away so we can go in."

Li Qingmu looked at the cave, resting his chin in thought.

"It's not easy? Look at me!"

Obscure Moon took a stone, fumbled for it, and threw it.

When the two guards heard the movement, they called someone and chased after him.

The two took the opportunity to sneak in and quickly entered the cave.

In the cave, there was a clanging sound, as if something was being digged, and at the same time, there was the sound of a whip whipping.

"Hurry up, why dawdle? Hurry up, work quickly! If anyone dares to be lazy, I will beat him to death!"

"Quietly, take a break for a quarter of an hour when you're done, hurry up!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Li Qingmu and Lu Yue got closer, and saw several supervisors waving whips, driving away some craftsmen, who were digging in the stone with strange-looking tools in their hands.

Obscure Moon saw some black things from those cracked stones, and was extremely shocked.

"It's...it's iron! Mr. Xiang, this is a big iron mine!"

Li Qingmu nodded. In fact, they had already guessed it when they entered the cave. After all, there were iron ore fragments everywhere on the ground, but they were not sure.

Now, it is really sure!
"And it looks like it has been digging for a long time! They are rushing to work in such a hurry, they probably want to take out all the iron that can be mined here, and then close the mine!"

"Why are they in such a hurry?"

Li Qingmu pondered deeply, this place has obviously been mined for a long time, and it must have become urgent recently, then...

Li Qingmu felt as if something flashed across his mind, but he couldn't grasp it for a while.

"Sir, this person dares to mine iron ore privately. This is definitely a case of treason!"

In the past dynasties, any mineral deposits belonged to the imperial court. As the saying goes, under the whole world, could it be the king's land, the shore of the land, and the king's ministers, as ministers, wouldn't they report the discovery of mineral deposits to the imperial court?

Mining without permission, one's heart can be punished!

Li Qingmu said calmly: "It's profitable! The Wang family can't use so much iron by themselves. They probably cooperate with others, and generally...only the army needs so much iron!"

Such a large iron mine, with so much iron mined, can't be sold just by selling it. After all, selling salt and iron privately, the seller is guilty, and the buyer is also guilty.

Since it is definitely not a sale, there is only one possibility: use it yourself!
If you use it yourself, isn't that just to gather an army and plot rebellion?

The third prince wants to conspire against him?
No, no, he just wants to raise some private soldiers so that he can gain more chances of winning for the future battle for succession.

But so what?
Raising private soldiers for self-defense?A three-year-old would not believe this!
"We've found where they mine, and the next step is to see where the ore will go."

"But how do we track it?"

"Let me think about it..." Li Qingmu stared at the craftsmen who were mining inside, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's sneak in, and then follow the bearers out of the cave, looking for opportunities to follow. This method usually has loopholes, it is easy See it through, but now they are in a hurry to rush to work, and they won't check it carefully at this time!"

"it is good!"

The burden is a group of two, and the two of them are just right.

In addition, it was almost early morning, and they couldn't stay inside for long.

The couple thought it was not difficult, so they kept hiding in the dark, waiting for the sky to gradually clear up.

"Quick, take out everything inside."

After an unknown amount of time, someone shouted at the entrance of the cave, and the overseers who drove away the craftsmen immediately asked them to carry the load out.

Obscure Moon and Li Qingmu wiped dirt on their faces, and went to shoulder the burden too.

A hill-like iron ore, they were loaded into it in big baskets or boxes, and then the two picked them out of the cave.

It's just that this time it's different from the previous ones. He dared to go to the entrance of the cave and was intercepted.

"Just put it down, go in and continue to pick it out!"

Li Qingmu and Lu Yue winked at each other, and now there are many more guards at the door, they can't startle the enemy, so they continue to go in to shoulder the burden.

The second trip still didn't let them go out, so they continued to rush back to pick.

"wrong!"

Going in and walking to the edge of the ore, Ozuki suddenly realized something was wrong.

Yesterday, I clearly saw someone carrying them out of the cave, but today I just went to the entrance of the cave. What does this mean?
Li Qingmu didn't say anything, he guessed it the first time he didn't let them out of the cave, but he wasn't sure, now he was sure.

"Yue'er, this mine is almost finished, they are going to seal the mine, and then... seal us all inside!"

"What did you say? Are they crazy? So many people, are they all blocked?"

There are at least [-] or [-] craftsmen here. How crazy must this person be to do such a thing?

However, soon, Li Qingmu's words came true.

"Everyone go in, don't come out, go in! Anyone who dares to come out, kill!"

A group of guards drove away the craftsmen with long knives. Almost at the same time, Ozuki smelled gunpowder!
