Chapter 509

After Carpenter Qian finished speaking, he only sighed deeply, and continued: "At that time, I ran out with you Aunt Qian, and I had no money, and I didn't know anyone. I happened to know a slave in Duke Cheng's mansion. It was said that Fangmiao Village was going to open a coal mine and wanted to recruit some foremen. At that time, I was full of strength, and I thought that Fangmiao Village was far away from the capital, so I could hide for a while at least, so I took you Aunt Qian to Fangmiao Village. Miaocun lived in the mining shed set up by Cheng Guogong’s mansion. At the beginning, all the people invited were foreigners, and many of them were specially invited from Jincheng. They were all veterans of coal digging, and they only dug for a few days. It is said that there is little coal here, and the terrain is low. If it rains, the mine will be easily flooded, and it is obvious that the digging cannot be continued. The people of Cheng Guogong's mansion found out and got rid of those people. , only a few of us didn’t understand, and we continued to dig in. We dug for several days, and finally saw coal, but the coal was too little, only a few spots, so they just asked us to continue digging. Two days later, a lot of water suddenly seeped from the bottom..."

Everyone listened intently, only Carpenter Qian continued to talk indifferently, those scenes seemed to have just happened before his eyes.

"Later, the water below was getting bigger and bigger. Although I don't know how to do it, I heard from those miners from Jincheng that mining coal is not something that can be dug casually. It is necessary to pass the decree issued by the imperial court. If there is a mine Things like running water mean that the terrain here is low-lying, and it is easy to cause landslides. Mining is not allowed in such a place. I was honest at the time, so I told these things. Who knew that those people also had a temper Yes, he said that after he got out, he was going to find the stewards of Cheng Guogong’s mansion to make trouble. If they didn’t give the money, they would expose the matter. Later, I don’t know who leaked the news. When we were in the mine, it rained suddenly. There was no landslide that night, but there was a steady stream of mud and water left on the top of the mine. It was the servants of Duke Cheng's mansion who wanted to bury us alive... "

Master Liang's lips trembled when he heard this... He couldn't help but said, "Thirty or forty miners died in the mine accident that year! Could it be that the mine caved in? It was..."

Carpenter Qian had tears in his eyes, he just nodded and said, "After I escaped, I secretly went back to have a look. If it was really a landslide, no one inside would be able to get out, because they filled in the mud themselves, so That’s why we dug a hole and ran out. Later, because there were too many people entering the mine, and Cheng Guogong’s mansion didn’t send anyone to count the number, I took my wife and fled overnight.”

"Under blue sky and broad daylight, there is such a thing. The lives of thirty or forty miners are gone like this?"

"The main reason is that there really can't be any coal dug out there, and those people are afraid that they will really make a scene and get involved too much, so they..." After finishing speaking, Carpenter Qian only pressed his eyes with his big palm, and took a deep breath. He said in a tone: "Boss Zhao and I were the only ones who ran out of that mine back then. Later, the two of us were afraid of being discovered, so we just said that we had never been to the mine."

At some point, Mrs. Yang also stood at the door. Seeing Carpenter Qian finished his sentence, he lowered his head and choked up, "No wonder Caifeng's father insisted on going to save people when there was a mountain flood three years ago, saying he knew the people there. I also recognize those holes... I didn't stop him, but who knows he didn't come back after he went!" After Yang finished speaking, she was already sobbing.

"The blood debt of Duke Chengguo's mansion, I must let him pay in blood..." Song Mingxuan stood up suddenly, swaying slightly, turned to Zhao Caifeng and said, "My lady, help me sharpen the ink, I want to write a pleading, sue Yu shape!"

Chun Wei's lost opportunity and the pain of losing her mother one after another, what Zhao Caifeng fears most is that Song Mingxuan will be devastated.Seeing him say this now, I just feel like there is a fire burning in my heart, so I just stood up and said: "Master, just wait, I will grind the ink right away!"

Zhao Caifeng took water from the big tank in the backyard, and poured it into the stone inkstone on Song Mingxuan's desk, only to hear that Mr. Liang was still there and continued to comfort Song Mingxuan: "Song Jieyuan, you have to think clearly about suing the imperial court. It's Jieyuan, even if you fail this subject, it's no longer a problem to be a Jinshi in the next subject, but if you fail to succeed in the imperial certificate, you will be caught by the people of Chengguo Duke's mansion, and you still want to re-enter in this life. It's hard to be an official... Some of those people have been dead for more than ten years. Even if you avenge them, you don't know if anyone will come to thank you. Official career, to seek such a fair."

Zhao Caifeng knew that Mrs. Liang was eager to love talents, and Song Mingxuan was indeed a talent in his heart, but she also understood that Song Mingxuan had a heart of innocence in his heart, how could he be afraid of power, just for his own fame!

"Master, we have made a deal with this imperial petition. I will spend the rest of my life eating bran and swallowing vegetables with you. I also admit it. Mother's justice must be won back. Those dead miners, as well as my father, their You have to ask for justice!" Zhao Caifeng only picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and handed it to Song Mingxuan.

Song Mingxuan took two steps forward with difficulty, took the pen and ink from Zhao Caifeng's hand, Zhao Caifeng just bent down and took a page of rice paper and spread it in front of Song Mingxuan, pressed it firmly with the paperweight, looked up at Song Mingxuan.Song Mingxuan also lowered his head, and met Zhao Caifeng's eyes. Both of them had tears in their eyes, and they just gritted their teeth and wrote.
