Rebirth as Princess Jin again

"These bastards!" An Yi secretly cursed: "Are they just planning to wait to die like this?"

Situ Jing looked around carefully with his eyes. When he saw that no one was paying attention to them, he whispered: "According to my guess, the reason why they are so crazy about arresting people for mining is probably because of the existence of this mine. It won't be long. It's basically going to be hollowed out, and I found that the mines here extend in all directions. According to the terrain, my people found a mine tunnel close to the bottom of the mountain, and dug every day when no one was around, but it was almost hollowed out. When the time comes, you can go directly from the mine tunnel to the bottom of the mountain, and go down the mountain without anyone noticing. But there are people stationed at the bottom of the mountain, so it will be difficult to escape. It would be better if you bring more people."

"Also, I overheard Boss Zhang talking to people a few days ago. It seems that they also discovered that the imperial court has noticed the border town. They are transporting gold these days and trying to find ways to move it. They may evacuate in these days."

Situ Jin's face darkened: "How brave, they are not afraid that these people will expose their crimes to the world after they go out."

Situ Jing pondered: "I guess they will probably bury these people alive in the mines."

"Buried alive!" An Yi couldn't help but cursed: "These wolf-hearted things, are there thousands of people here?"

Seeing a supervisor coming to inspect, they quickly dispersed and started doing their own work. It was not until midnight that they were allowed to go to bed.

Even though Situ Jin and the others were strong people, their backs and backs ached from fatigue even after half a day, not to mention that these miners have been working here all year round. No wonder there are no women here. Situ Jin finally understood why Zhang San He was able to persevere probably because the mountains were still supporting him at home.

At night, Situ Jin secretly called Zhang San out and told him solemnly: "I have something to tell you. We are secret envoys sent by the imperial court. The man you saw this afternoon is my brother because something happened to him." I just came here, we are secretly investigating the mine, if you know anything, tell me, and we will definitely find a way to rescue you."

Zhang San was agitated and looked at Situ Jin in disbelief. His voice was slightly trembling: "You...we thought you were a figure, but we never expected that you were a secret envoy. The sky has eyes, and the imperial court finally knew about this place." We finally got over it."

Situ Jin felt a little guilty and said, "The imperial court didn't know about this before. If it had known about it, it would definitely not have let it go. You have been here for a long time, and I need you to tell me everything you know."

Zhang Sanyi knew what to say for a moment, and after he calmed down, he said: "The person in charge of the mine is Boss Zhang. He used to be a tyrant near the border town. Later, the imperial court sent people to quell the chaos in the border town. A prince was sent to take charge of the border town."

"After the prince recruited Boss Zhang, the former lord of the border city, Li Yuben, was a good official who loved the people like his own son. He objected to recruiting Boss Zhang at that time because Boss Zhang caused trouble to everyone and often robbed the people. The people hated him to the bone because of this. Mr. Li is also extremely at odds with that prince."

"I don't know why, but Mr. Li died later. I heard he was bitten by a wolf. In fact, this is not what the rumors say."

Situ Jin asked: "Do you know the inside story?"

Zhang San said without thinking: "Because my father happened to be hunting nearby on the day Mr. Li's accident happened, and happened to see the whole process. Mr. Li originally discovered this gold mine. He wanted to report it to the court, but the prince refused, so Mr. Li and his family wanted to escape from the border town, but on the way to escape, they were caught up by the prince, and they let wolves bite Mr. Li and his family to death."

Situ Jin's face was gloomy: "Why didn't you tell this at that time?"

Zhang San sighed: "My father originally wanted to report to the officials, but later I heard that officials sent by the court also confirmed that Mr. Li's family was killed by wolves. Our family is ordinary people, how can we dare to offend those officials? Yes, since then my father has stopped thinking about it and never dared to talk about it to anyone else."

"Since you are the secret envoy, after the death of the prince, the court sent other officials over, and they all had accidents. They were probably afraid, so they went crazy to arrest people and mined day and night. They probably wanted to mine as soon as possible. The mining of this mine has been completed so that no clues will be discovered by the people of the imperial court.”

When Situ Jin saw that he had revealed all the secrets in his heart for many years, he was not polite to him and said directly: "Then besides Boss Zhang, who else will come to this mine?"

"The master of the City Lord's Mansion will come every half month to collect the smelted gold. In addition, there is a mysterious person who comes with the master every time. The master calls him the City Lord."

Situ Jin's face darkened: "So Zhou Wei knows the inside story about this matter."

Seeing that he casually mentioned the name of the city lord, Zhang San was immediately convinced that he was the secret envoy sent by the imperial court: "Yes, it's him. In addition, all the officials in the border city, big and small, are related to this matter, and there are also their people in the capital." ..."

Situ Jin asked in confusion: "How do you know so much?"

Zhang San came closer and said carefully: "The mine tunnels in this mountain extend in all directions. Every time they enter a guarded mine tunnel to talk, they think they are safe if they are guarded. In fact, those mine tunnels are all connected, and they have been mined for a long time." Now, the walls of the mine tunnel are already very thin. As long as you are careful, you can clearly hear what they said. I also accidentally took the wrong path and entered the abandoned mine tunnel, and I accidentally heard it."

Situ Jin had already thought about it: "Did you hear who they were talking about in the capital?"

Zhang San shook his head and then said: "By the way, I once saw a woman come here. She was dressed very richly, but her face was covered. She was very close to Zhou Wei. The master spoke very politely to her. Capital City The man in there must have a very good relationship with that woman, I once heard them talking about a younger brother or something like that."

Situ Jin knew clearly that the woman must be Situ Xue, and he asked again: "Then when will they come to this mine again."

Zhang San thought for a while: "Counting the days, five days have passed since the last time I came here. They should be arriving in ten days. The woman may not come, but the master and the city lord will definitely come."

Situ Jin smiled coldly: "Ten days is enough."

From Yancheng to the border town, if the army comes directly from Bei Liao, ten days is enough time. Su Ying will definitely send someone to Yancheng to inform Su Wu. As long as the army comes, there is nothing to fear from these people.
