As soon as I entered the cave, a rotten smell hit my nose. Two or more people gathered together in the cave, and the scene was disgraceful to the sight.

She was wearing the official uniform that was stripped off from those people. After she went in, those people glanced at her casually and drove her away impatiently.

"Go aside, this place is full!"

"Do you understand the rules..."

Shen Lanxi resisted the urge to kill and quickly scanned the women. Her heart was in a knot since she entered the cave, and she only felt half relieved when she saw the last person.

There is no Shen family!

There is no time to stay as there are more than a dozen bodies outside that need to be dealt with.

There are abandoned pits all around. If we just throw these people in there, we will definitely find them even if we die searching!

"Nubai, besides here, are there any other places with women?"

Nu Bai: "The top of the mountain is a bit far away, and I can't scan the exact number of people!"

Shen Lanxi immediately flew to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain and the bottom were simply two extremes, one was heaven and the other was hell.

The entire top of the mountain is filled with grand halls with carved beams and painted rafters. There are dozens of rooms in the front and back rows, large and small!

Nu Bai: "Found the Shen family's female members, in the last row of rooms!"

Shen Lanxi immediately sneaked in and woke up everyone in the room one by one.

"Miss..." When the women of the Shen family saw Shen Lanxi, they were all excited and tears filled their eyes.

Shen Lanxi: "Why are you here? Where are the others?"

Shen Yuantang said it again in a crying voice, and it was the same as what Shen Yuanxin said!

"We were originally going to be thrown into Xiaoyao Cave, but the people who escorted us said that an important person would come in the next two days, and they said we were good-looking, so they kept us to entertain the important person!"

At this point, the women of the Shen family began to choke up.

Shen Lanxi: "If you want to attract those people, just keep crying!"

The women quickly covered their mouths.

“Miss, please save Yuanqing and Yuanzhao. We don’t know where they were taken, and we don’t know whether they are still alive or not?” Wei Rulan couldn’t hold back her tears when she talked about her son.

Shen Lanxi frowned: "I'll rescue you first!"

"Okay, okay, big sister, please take us out quickly!" Several concubines of the Shen family nodded repeatedly.

Shen Yuantang glared at the concubines and tried to stop them: "Big brother, I heard from the people watching us that they will teach us the rules in the next two days and they won't do anything to us. Go save father and brother first!"

"How can that be possible? We are women. What if those people rush in and insult us?"

"Brother and father are men, so they can only suffer some physical pain. We are women, and if our innocence is ruined by those people, we would rather die!"

"Yuan Tang, you are young and don't know much, so don't interrupt and listen to the adults' arrangements!"

The women all talked at once and pushed Shen Yuantang behind them.

Shen Lanxi changed her mind!

"It will be dawn soon. I won't be able to get you even halfway up the mountain before you are discovered."

"What should I do?"

Shen Lanxi glanced at the fruits and snacks on the table and said, "If it's true as Yuan Tang said, those people shouldn't attack you in the next two days. I'll find a place to hide first, and come back to take you down the mountain tomorrow night!"

After a few seconds of silence, a low sound of compromise was heard.

"Okay, you must come and rescue us as soon as possible tomorrow night!"

"it is good!"

Someone is coming this way, there is more than one voice!

"Someone's coming, I'm leaving!"

After leaving the top of the mountain, she immediately returned to the halfway point. The sky was already slightly brighter, and the guards in the mountain had already started whipping the people in the cave to get up and work!

She found the nearest cave and sneaked in!

"You black rats, get up and work!"

"Whoever dares to dally, I will throw him into the hole to feed the poisonous snakes!"

Shen Lanxi held the whip and avoided the other guards, then walked inside with the prisoners.

There was a torch every eight or nine meters in the cave. I thought I could see the faces of the people inside clearly, but I didn't expect that these people were all unkempt and had faces as dark as Bao Gong. Those with poor eyesight couldn't even see their noses or eyes.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to see Liu Lao Hu.

Probably because he had not been here long, his features could still be seen on Liu Lao Hu's face. In addition to Liu Lao Hu, there were several yamen runners following Liu Yanhui!

Shen Lanxi walked into a dark place and patted Liu Yan back.

Liu Yan turned her head.

Shen Lanxi said silently: It’s me!

Liu Yanhui did not recognize Shen Lanxi until he walked into a dimly lit place and a piece of dried meat was stuffed into his hand.

The familiar sweet taste, he had only tasted it from Shen Lanxi.

Liu Yanhui quickly stuffed the dried meat into his mouth and chewed it quickly with his head down.

The confusion and helplessness that was brought in yesterday suddenly disappeared at this moment!

Shen Lanxi took advantage of the dim light to stuff two eggs into Liu Yanhui's mouth, and she also ate a little.

When they reached the deepest part, these people were driven to dig stones.

Shen Lanxi also dug out a piece, but it was nothing special to the naked eye!

"Master, it's iron ore!"

The control of salt and iron in the Great Zhou Dynasty was very strict. Both salt and iron were government-run. It was obvious at first glance that this mine did not meet the standards of a government-run mine.

Judging from the skin color of these miners, the depth of the cave, and the scale of the hall on the top of the mountain, this place has probably existed for more than a decade, or possibly even longer!

Moreover, this mine is not very far from Cangzhou City, so it is impossible that it had not been discovered by the court for such a long time.

Unless this mine is backed by the officials of Cangzhou City, or has already colluded with the officials of Cangzhou City!

She originally thought that the world was peaceful and prosperous on the four seas, but she didn't expect that it was all an illusion. Not only were there external enemies disturbing her, but even the internal situation was rotten!

"Sir, it's iron ore!" Liu Yanhui came over to mine and whispered to Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi: "Your mother and sister are at the top of the mountain, they are safe!"

Liu Yanhui breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when the sounds of whipping and cursing suddenly came from not far away.

"Don't pretend to be dead. If you dare to pretend to be dead, I will beat you to death for real."

"Really dead? No breath?"

"What bad luck! Come here, you two, drag him to the snake cave and feed him to the snakes!"

When the others heard the word "snake cave", they all trembled with fear.

Shen Lanxi was on the list of people who were called to deal with the body together with another person!

"Damn it, it's so unlucky. Why did they choose me to go to the snake cave..."

Shen Lanxi lowered her voice and said, "Brother, I'll go in and throw it in later, you wait outside!"

"You are quite capable, are you new here?"

Shen Lanxi hummed.

"You seem to be quite smart. If anything good happens in the future, I will think of you!"

"Thank you, brother!"

After walking for about twenty minutes, we arrived at the snake cave.

"Go in, don't blame me for not reminding you, don't get too close, throw it into the pit and get out quickly!"

Shen Lanxi nodded, dragged the person in, and immediately changed to carrying the person with one hand.

This person is still breathing, but he won’t live long if he’s not treated!

After walking forty or fifty meters, Shen Lanxi put the person aside.

"Four people, come out!"
