Chapter 513 - 513: NewsTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas StudiosDing Yi and Hu Cheng were half asleep when they suddenly heard low voices in the corner.
After listening carefully, they realized that someone was discussing how to escape from the place.
Ding Yi realized that they also wanted to escape from the mine, but they were afraid that the mountain wall was steep and they would not be able to escape.
Hu Cheng poked Ding Yi and wrote in his palm, “Should we help them escape in the chaos?
”“Wait a few more days.
The secret guards following us might have already received the news.
I’m afraid we’ll alert the enemy if we leave.
If there’s still no movement in a few days, we’ll escape.
”After the two of them discussed it, they stopped paying attention to others and slept peacefully to recuperate.
The two of them felt that just as they fell asleep, it was time to go to work again.
When they arrived at the mine, Ding Yi realized that the few miners pushing the mine sand kept glancing at the cliff.
Ding Yi was afraid that they would not be able to escape and would instead hold back his escape with Hu Cheng.
He kicked a small rock at the tall miner’s ankle.
The miner’s legs went weak and he fell to the ground, scattering the mine sand.
The supervisor walked forward and kicked him.
He pointed at him and shouted, “Behave yourself.
The master wants to move the goods away.
I won’t hit you today.
Next time, I’ll throw you into the hole.
”The miner got up and shoveled the mineral sand into the wicker basket without a sound.
He limped over and poured it into the mine wash.
The miners finished pouring the ore and glanced at him, shaking their heads gently.
Seeing that they had become obedient, Ding Yi worked in peace.
A few days later, the mine actually sent over coarse rice and a large basin of vegetables that looked like pig food.
A person who looked like a steward shouted at everyone, “Everyone, work hard.
From today onwards, we shall add a steamed bun for every meal and eat a vegetable meal a day.
After eating, work hard.
Otherwise, you know where you should go.
”The miners still had wooden expressions on their faces.
They were finally half full.
Ding Yi and Hu Cheng realized that they had even more work to do today.
Only then did they know that they wouldn’t give everyone an extra meal for no reason.
Ding glanced at the supervisors walking back and forth and felt that they were speeding up the production of weapons.
In the blink of an eye, it had been five days since Ding Yi and Hu Cheng arrived at the mine.
The two of them were a little anxious.
They wondered how Lord Zhou and the others were preparing.
They thought that if there was still no movement in a few more days, they might as well go out and tell them the situation.
Chu Shan and General Liu were leading people toward Mount Qingyue.
Zhou Jia stayed in seclusion for a few days, causing Cheng Shan and the Eldest Prince to suspect that Zhou Jia did not live up to his reputation.
They found Magistrate Feng and asked him to visit Zhou Jia at the courier station.
Magistrate Feng received the news from the Cheng family and invited a physician to the posthouse with a gift box.
Ruyi guarded the door and watched Magistrate Feng enter the courtyard.
He brought the physician to the main room.
“Lord Feng, you’re here today to tell my master that you’ve already found the assassin’s whereabouts, right?
”Magistrate Feng glanced at Ruyi.
“Manager Zhou, please help me inform that I request to see Lord Zhou.
”Ruyi placed his hands on his hips and glanced at Magistrate Feng.
“Lord Feng, my master has instructed that he’s not interested in anything else except the assassin.
Lord Feng, it’s been so many days since the murder.
How’s your investigation going?
”Ruyi’s attitude angered Feng Qing.
How dare a servant speak to a prefect in such a tone?
“Judge Wu is still investigating.
As soon as there’s any news, I’ll send someone to inform Lord Zhou.
Is Lord Zhou scared out of his wits?
I brought a doctor to take a look at him.
”Ruyi looked at Magistrate Feng proudly with a flamboyant smile on his face.
“There’s no need for you to worry.
Due to the fact that the imperial envoy had a stomachache here last time, His Majesty instructed the imperial physician to prepare all kinds of pills in case of emergencies.
Who knew that when the medicine was ready, you actually dared to send someone to assassinate…”“Steward Zhou.
” Magistrate Feng looked at Ruyi angrily.
“Make yourself clear.
What do you mean by we actually dare to send an assassin?
Don’t slander me.
I’m also an official of the Imperial Court.
I’m not a person that someone like you can bully.
”Ruyi hurriedly bowed to him.
“Aiyo!
Lord Feng, I mean your Yuezhou.
Sigh!
Look, by saying Yuezhou, I have offended everyone in Yuezhou again.
What I mean is that the bastard who actually dared to send assassins.
I didn’t say anything about you!
”“You’re unreasonable.
” Magistrate Feng was so angry that he turned around and left.
Ruyi looked at him and snorted.
“You want to fish for information?
No way.
”Magistrate Feng returned to the backyard of the government office from the posthouse with a dejected expression.
He said to his trusted steward, “Go to the Cheng family and tell them that the steward of the Zhou family is sharp-tongued and blocked the door like a shrew.
He won’t let me in.
I can’t figure out if Lord Zhou is still at the posthouse.
”The steward looked at Magistrate Feng in surprise.
“Master, where does thisLord Zhou come from?
How can there be such a tasteless steward?
”Magistrate Feng’s face darkened.
“Hmph!
I think he’s most likely pretending.
I think that Lord Zhou might not be living in the posthouse.
”“If he’s not in the posthouse, where did he go?
Didn’t the Cheng family send someone to keep an eye on him?
”“No matter where he is, I’m not afraid of him.
”“Get them to send someone to check quickly.
Don’t be fooled and still be in the dark.
”“Yes, my lord.
” The steward left.
Zhou Jia had already learned from the small courtyard that Chu Shan and General Liu had already rushed to Mount Qingyue.
The Cheng family also found out that a large group of people was advancing toward Qingyue County.
Ever since the head of the Cheng family left, Cheng Shan, who had been clearing up the dissidents at home, was shocked when he received the news.
He hurriedly called someone to Qingyue Mountain to obtain the news.
After making the arrangements, he hurriedly went to the small courtyard next door.
“Your Highness, the spies found that a large group of people is heading in the direction of Qingyue County.
I remember that General Zou said that Liu Zicheng led troops to Le County.
Do you think Liu Zicheng led people toQingyue Mountain?
Did they discover us opening the mine?
”“That can’t be!
We’ve always been very careful.
All these years, we’ve never been discovered by them.
Since Liu Zicheng is training…” The Eldest Prince fell into deep thought.
Cheng Shan looked at him.
“Your Highness, have you forgotten that there are Four Seas Banks everywhere in Great Yong?
On the surface, these people run banks, but in fact, they’re dogs raised by the higher-ups.
Their noses are sharp!
”The Eldest Prince recalled that he had suffered at the hands of Chu Yuhao and looked at Cheng Shan sinisterly.
“Quick, send someone to Le County and Qingyue Mountain to check.
Send someone to the courier station tonight to check if that imperial envoy is at the courier station.
”“Alright, I’ve already sent someone to Qingyue Mountain to investigate.
Go to Le County and send someone to investigate immediately.
” Cheng Shan left.
The Eldest Prince punched his broken leg and was so angry that he flipped everything on the bed to the ground.
At dusk, a woman carrying a food box came to the entrance of the posthouse and begged to see the imperial envoy, Lord Zhou..
