Chapter 510 511 News
Ding Yi and Hu Cheng were half asleep when they suddenly heard low voices coming from the corner. After listening carefully, they found that someone was discussing how to escape from here.
Ding Yi discovered that they also wanted to escape from the washing pool, but they were afraid that the mountain wall would be steep and they would not be able to escape.
Hu Cheng poked Ding Yi and wrote in his palm, "Should we help them and escape in the chaos?"
"If we wait a few more days, the following secret guards may have gotten the news. I'm afraid they will alert the enemy once we leave. If there is still no movement in a few days, let's escape again."
The two of them agreed to stop paying attention to others and sleep peacefully to recharge their batteries.
The two of them felt that they had just fallen asleep, and it was time to start work again. When they arrived at the mining area, while transporting ore, Ding Yi found that there were several miners pushing the ore, and they were always staring at the cliff intentionally or unintentionally. Ding Yi Fearing that they would not be able to escape would hinder his and Hu Cheng's escape, he kicked up a small stone and hit the tall miner on his ankle. The miner's foot went weak and he fell to the ground, scattering the ore all over the ground.
The overseer stepped forward and kicked him, pointed at him and shouted: "Be honest, the master has to rush the goods. I won't beat you today. Next time, I will just throw you into the hole."
The miner got up, shoveled the ore into the basket without saying a word, limped and pushed it over and poured it into the washing tank.
After several miners poured the ore, they glanced at him and shook their heads gently.
When Ding saw that they were honest, he worked with peace of mind. After a few days, brown rice and a large pot of pig food-like vegetables were delivered from the mine.
A man who looked like a steward shouted to everyone: "Everyone, work hard. From now on, add a steamed bun to each meal and eat one vegetable meal a day. Work hard after the meal, otherwise you know where you should go." "
The miners still had blank expressions, and they were finally half full. Ding Yi and Hu Cheng found that the work they had to do today was half as much, so they knew that they would not give everyone extra meals for no reason.
Ding glanced at the overseers walking back and forth, feeling that they were speeding up to make weapons.
It had been five days since Ding Yi and Hu Cheng arrived at the mine. Both of them were a little anxious. They didn't know how prepared Master Zhou and the others were. They thought that if they waited a few days and there was still no movement, they might as well go out and tell them the situation.

Chu Shan and General Liu were leading people to Qingyue Mountain. Zhou Jia stayed behind closed doors for several days, which aroused the suspicion of Cheng Shan and the eldest prince. They felt that Zhou Jia did not seem to be a person with a false reputation, so they approached Magistrate Feng to let him go. He went to the post house to visit Zhou Jia.
After receiving the news from the Cheng family, Magistrate Feng invited the doctor to carry the gift box to the post house. Ruyi stood guard at the door and watched Magistrate Feng enter the courtyard, and led the doctor to the main house.
"Master Feng, you are here today to tell my master that you have found out the whereabouts of the assassin, right?"
Magistrate Feng glanced at Ruyi and said, "Manager Zhou, please let me know. I want to see Mr. Zhou."
Ruyi put her hands on her waist and glanced sideways at Magistrate Feng, "Master Feng, my master has ordered that except for the news about the assassin, he is not interested in any other news. Master Feng, it has been so many days since the case was committed. What on earth did you investigate?" How's it going?"
Ruyi's attitude angered Feng Qing. A slave dared to speak in such a tone to the dignified prefect of Yizhou.
"Wu Tongpan is still investigating. As soon as there is news, I will send someone to tell Mr. Zhou. If Mr. Zhou is frightened, I will bring a doctor to show you."
Ruyi looked at Magistrate Feng proudly, with a flamboyant smile on his face, "Don't worry, since the last imperial envoy had a stomachache here, before my master left, His Majesty ordered the imperial doctor to prepare various pills. If you need it unexpectedly, who knows, the medicine is ready, but you dare to send people to assassinate..."
"Manager Zhou," Magistrate Feng looked at Ruyi with an angry face, "please tell me clearly, why do we dare to send him to assassinate you? Don't throw dirty water on me. I am also an official of the imperial court. I am not someone who can be bullied by someone like you." .”
Ruyi hurriedly saluted him, "Oh! Mr. Feng, what I mean is that you Yuezhou, hey! Look, Yuezhou has offended all the people in Yuezhou again. What I mean is, are there any children killed that day?" How dare you, a bastard, a prickly bitch like a rat in the gutter, send a visitor without mentioning you!"
"You are simply unreasonable." Magistrate Feng turned around and left in anger.
Ruyi looked at him and snorted coldly, "I want to come and inquire about the news, but there is no way."
Magistrate Feng returned to the backyard of the government office in disgrace from the post house, and said to his close steward: "Go to the Cheng family and tell them that the steward of the Zhou family is sharp-tongued and is blocking the door like a shrew, refusing to let me in. Going in, I can’t tell whether Mr. Zhou is still in the post house.”
The steward glanced at Magistrate Feng in surprise, "Sir, where did this Lord Zhou come from? How could he have such a dishonest steward?"
Magistrate Feng had a sullen face, "Huh! I think he is probably just pretending. I think Mr. Zhou may not live in the post house."
"It's not in the post house, so where did it go? Didn't the Cheng family always send people to keep an eye on it?"
No matter where he is, as long as that thing is not found, I am not afraid of him.
"Tell them to send someone to check it out quickly, don't be fooled and remain in the dark."
"Yes, sir." The steward stepped back and left.
Zhou Jia had already learned in the courtyard that Chushan and General Liu had led people to Qingyue Mountain. The Cheng family also found out that a large group of people was advancing towards Qingyue County.
Since the head of the Cheng family left, Cheng Shan, who had been eliminating dissidents at home, was shocked when he received the news. He hurriedly asked people to go to Qingyue Mountain to find out the news. After making arrangements, he hurried to the small courtyard next door.
"Your Majesty, the spies found out that a large group of people were heading towards Qingyue County. I remember General Zou Shen said that Liu Zicheng was leading troops in Le County. Do you think it was Liu Zicheng who was leading people to Qingyue Mountain? The matter of our mining is... It’s not like they discovered it.”
"That's impossible! We have always been very careful. Over the years, we have never been discovered by them. Since Liu Zicheng is training troops..." The eldest prince fell into deep thought.
Cheng Shan looked at him and said, "My lord, you have forgotten that there are Sihai Banks all over Dayong. These people are running banks on the surface, but in fact they are dogs raised by the bosses with great noses!"
The eldest prince remembered the loss he had suffered at the hands of Chu Yuhao, and looked at Cheng Shan with sinister eyes, "Quickly, send someone to Le County and Qingyue Mountain to check, and then send someone to the post house to check tonight. That imperial envoy Is the minister at the post house or not?"
"Okay, I have sent people to Qingyue Mountain to check the news. Go to Le County and send people to check immediately." Cheng Shan went out and left.
The eldest prince beat his broken leg and was so angry that he overturned everything on the couch to the ground.
At dusk, a woman carrying a food box came to the door of the post house and begged the imperial envoy Lord Zhou.
