Chapter 513 514 Angry Miners

Cheng Shan sneered, "So what if you can't spare me! I'm still the next head of the Cheng family, and your two sisters will never get out of the private house in this life."

Cheng Xu lowered his head, thought for a while, then looked up at him, "Aunt Qiong's family lives on Zhumen Street..."

Cheng Shan patted him on the face a few times with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It would be great to be so obedient earlier." After that, he laughed and walked out.

***

Ding Yi and Hu Cheng worked day and night in the mining valley, and found that the miners in the mine had already collapsed due to long-term deprivation of food and rest. Miners often collapsed and were dragged into the small valley. cave.

The two of them waited until the planned time, but Chu Shan and the others had not arrived yet. They were afraid that if they continued to work inside, they would not even have the energy to escape in the end, so the two began to look for opportunities to escape.

On this day, the guards at the mine brought in more than a dozen people. When these people went down to the mine and saw the scene inside, a few tall men immediately began to resist and shouted noisily, "You didn't do anything on the way." They say we are working in the mines, we don’t do this kind of work, let us out.”

"I see your skin is itching, please be a good boy, otherwise my whip won't recognize anyone."

Several supervisors shouted loudly, walked over with whips in a arrogant manner, raised the whips fiercely and lashed out at several people.

The big man suddenly reached out and grabbed the overseer's wrist. In the blink of an eye, the whip in his hand was snatched away by the man.

"Come quickly, these guys are from the Lian family." The supervisor shouted.

"I see you are looking for death." The guard drew his long knife and rushed forward. Several men squatting on the ground suddenly pulled out their daggers and rushed forward to fight with the guard. One of them took out a firecracker-like thing from his sleeve. , after ignition, red fireworks rose into the sky.

Ding Yi and Hu Cheng saw the movements of several people and found that one of their own was inside. They picked up stones and threw them at the overseer. The overseer fell to the ground. The dagger slipped from his wrist into Ding Yi's hand, stepped forward and cut the overseer's throat.

Hu Cheng shouted to the miners who were standing there stupidly: "Brothers, fight with them and kill one to save your capital. If you kill one more, you will make a profit. It is better than dying from exhaustion and being thrown into a cave."

Under Hu Cheng's shouts, some of the miners who were watching all of this calmly began to look alive and angry, looking at the supervisors with hatred and anger.

"You sons of bitches, I'll kill you."

One miner shouted and raised his shovel and rushed towards the supervisor, and then there was a second one... The supervisor was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his hands. The miners rushed up to him and waved at him with the hoe and shovel. In the blink of an eye, The supervisor was beaten to a bloody pulp by the angry miners.

More and more miners joined the battle, and the blacksmiths who refined weapons picked up their refined swords and rushed forward. There were shouts of killing in the valley, and more and more overseers and guards were hacked to death.

Ding Yi, Hu Cheng and a group of secret guards became the nemesis of the arrogant guards in the past. The secret guards raised their swords and fell, and one of the guards was eliminated.

Suddenly, officers and soldiers from the brigade came down from the stone steps, and some officers and soldiers raised their crossbows. A loud voice came from above: "The imperial court has sent troops to rescue you. Everyone, please stand aside."

When the miners heard the shouting, they all stepped aside, collapsed on the ground and cried in their arms. The officers and soldiers tied up the guards and supervisors who were not killed with ropes.

Chu Shan and General Liu walked down the stone steps. Ding Yi and Hu Cheng stepped forward. Hu Cheng reported: "Shopkeeper Chu, they threw miners' corpses in the cave over there. Those furnaces were working day and night. , we don’t know where the forged weapons were transported.”

Chu Shan looked at Hu Cheng and the two who had lost more than a circle of weight, and said comfortingly: "You have suffered, we will find out where the weapons are."

General Liu led his men to arrest an overseer and shouted: "Be honest, come out of the place where the weapons are hidden, or else I will hand you over to the miners and beat you into a puddle of pulp."

The supervisor looked at his companion who was not far away and his limbs were too bloody to distinguish. He was so frightened that his face turned blue. He knelt down and kowtowed, "General, spare your life. I will take you with me right now."

The supervisor took everyone to the place separated by wooden rafts, took out a key from the crack of the stone, opened the log door, walked for more than a quarter of an hour, walked to a huge boulder, and pointed to the dark cave hidden behind the boulder, " After the weapons are made every day, we will send them here, and Manager Cheng will lead the people to move them in from here."

Chushan had someone tie him up and throw him aside. The officers and soldiers walked into the cave with torches. The cave became wider and wider as they walked. After the group walked for more than half an hour, light gradually came in. There were two men at the entrance of the cave. Lying on the wooden bed and sleeping soundly, two secret guards stepped forward and controlled the two of them.

Walking further inside, you can see spears, arrows, and waist knives densely arranged in the cave, shining with bursts of cold light. There are crossbows in a cave next to them, and there are also many crossbow machines.

Chu Shan and General Liu took a breath of cold air and glanced at each other in unison. If these things were not discovered, the consequences would be really disastrous.

After checking one by one, I found a stone step at the end of the cave. After climbing up and going down, I saw a wooden plank road.

I walked along the plank road and heard the sound of water flowing. I followed the sound of water to the river and saw a wooden boat tied to the wooden piles on the shore.

Chu Shan looked at everything in front of him and suddenly realized, "It turns out that they have always used river transportation. No wonder there are no traces of heavy vehicles on the mountain road."

General Liu looked back and forth, "The Cheng family has spent a lot of effort on this mine. From the cave to the plank road, it cannot be completed overnight."

Chu Shan nodded, "General, let's send people to watch here first, interrogate the guards and stewards, and move all the miners in the valley out, interrogate the blacksmiths, and find out how many weapons the Cheng family has made? How many weapons have been leaked?"

"I will leave half of the troops here, and take the other half back to Yuezhou immediately to control the garrison first." After speaking, General Liu turned around and walked back.

Chu Shan nodded in agreement, and sent secret guards to guard the place where they landed. He told the secret guards that if anyone came, they would capture them immediately, and those who resisted would be killed on the spot.

Ding Yi took Hu Cheng and a group of miners with a big torch and entered the cave where the miners were thrown. When everyone walked in, they saw a dark pit inside, with a stench emitting from the pit.

Everyone exited and covered their mouths and noses with tattered clothes. After entering, they looked around and saw that there were several corpses of miners thrown in just two days ago. There were rats crawling in and out on top, and there were numerous bones below. Everyone It was horrifying to see that some miners knelt down beside the pit and cried loudly.

Hu Cheng said to them: "Everyone listen to my advice and don't stay in there. When the government sends people to deal with the bodies of these miners, everyone can worship them and let them rest in peace as soon as possible."

The miners followed Ding Yi and Hu Cheng outside the cave. General Liu returned to the valley and took the people away. Chu Shan and the people began to interrogate the stewards.

Ding Yi and Hu Cheng found grain from the warehouse in the cave, cooked thick porridge and ate it with the miners. The miners drank the porridge and shed tears.

Everyone rested in the cave for a night, and Chu Shan asked Ding Yi and Hu Cheng to take them out of the valley.

When they got outside, the miners looked at the green mountains and forests, looked up and felt the breeze blowing gently on their faces, and then they felt that they were not in a dream, but that they had really escaped from the dead.
