Chapter 508

Song Mingxuan's expression became serious, his brows were tightly frowned, he just lowered his head and gritted his teeth: "It's Chengguo Duke's Mansion again." After Song Mingxuan said this, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Mr. Liang, Gritting his teeth, he said, "I don't know if Mr. Liang's decree for promotion has been obtained. Have you ever thought about doing something big before leaving Heqiao Town?"

Master Liang looked at Song Mingxuan, feeling his palms sweat slightly, and recalling Song Mingxuan's performance in the county government hall last year, he couldn't help asking: "What big event did Song Jieyuan talk about?"

Song Mingxuan lowered his brows, the original sadness, pain and cowardice seemed to have disappeared in an instant, and there was only calmness, rigor, and a look of determination occasionally revealed in his eyes.

"The emperor wants to cut the nobility, but the patriarch faction headed by Cheng Guogong has always opposed it. Last year in the capital, there was a case in which a young lady in Nanfenglou was insulted to death. The culprit was the sixth young master of Chengguo's mansion. It's just that there is only one victim in this case, and after many investigations, the criminal has already been punished, but the Chengguo government's defiance of the country's laws has already been heard by the Criminal Department. If it can be proved at this time that the Chengguo government used false The matter of the silver mine will harm the common people, I am afraid that the day when Duke Cheng's mansion will be cut off is not far away."

Master Liang listened to Song Mingxuan's words, beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, he only frowned and said: "It's not that I don't want to take care of this matter, but I really can't take care of it! This arm can't twist the thigh, sincerely Although the Duke's Mansion is declining now, it is still the home of the old nobles. A few years ago, the emperor cut down the Duke Jing's Mansion because of corruption. These old nobles have lived with their necks back these years. This time, even if we found out about the fake silver mine rumored by Duke Cheng's mansion, after all, the common people broke into their house by themselves, and it has nothing to do with Duke Cheng's mansion!"

Song Mingxuan also knew that although Mr. Liang was a good official, he always acted moderately. He might not agree to this matter. Hearing what he said, he just shook his head and said, "This matter is really embarrassing for Mr. Liang. Mr. Liang will be promoted soon. I am about to go to Jiangnan to take up my post, and it is human nature to want to be wise and protect myself at this time, it is too late to be abrupt."

Seeing Song Mingxuan say this, Mr. Liang also felt his cheeks turn red. He just sighed, and was about to explain a few more words, but he heard a voice from outside the door: "Mr. Liang, if it is not a felony to spread rumors and fake silver mines, More than ten years ago, I opened a coal mine in Fangmiao Village privately to seek ill-gotten gains, and after the incident happened, I used the excuse of landslides to bury all the miners alive underground. Is it a felony if you carelessly ignore human life?"

"What... What? Opening a coal mine privately? What's going on here? All mines in Dayong must be verified by the Ministry of Industry, and they can only start construction after they meet the mining standards. More than ten years ago, even though I was just a small Young master, I also know that there were not a lot of these things missing in Duke Cheng's mansion at that time, and I even came to attend their groundbreaking ceremony on the day the ground was broken."

After Master Liang finished speaking, he only raised his head to see a tall and thick man walking in from the door. His face was full of beards, and before Master Liang could speak, Carpenter Qian only bowed to Master Liang and said: " I wonder if Master Liang still remembers me?"

"You...you...you were the foreman who went down the mine for the first time. Why don't I remember you, so you're not dead?" Mr. Liang has been the magistrate of the county for more than ten years. The dead man stood in front of him and became more and more excited.

Seeing Carpenter Qian come in and say such words, Song Mingxuan was only surprised, and asked, "Uncle, what's going on with the mine, tell us about it."

Carpenter Qian's expression became solemn in an instant. Zhao Caifeng only moved a stool to ask him to sit down. Carpenter Qian closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and said with tears in his eyes: "These mines Too many people's lives were lost in the hole, if this matter is not made public, I'm afraid more people will die in it in the future."
