Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

Gu Feiyan only brought ten elite soldiers.

According to her, she just went over to take a look. If a conflict really happened, she and her ten elite soldiers were good enough to escape.

but……

As he watched her disappear around the corner of the mountain road on her horse, Chen Shao suddenly felt a little panic in his heart. It came inexplicably, but it was real.

Looking back at the iron mine, Chen Shao took two deep breaths and could only try his best to believe that she had the ability to protect herself.

After returning to the military tent, Chen Shao pondered for a moment and asked someone to bring Wang Chengye up.

As soon as Wang Chengye entered the military tent, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, claiming that everything had nothing to do with him.

Chen Shao left him alone for a moment before asking, "Then tell me, what are all the things you mentioned?"

Wang Chengye said quickly: "The collapse of the iron mine and the offense for Lord Sun have nothing to do with me."

Chen Shao followed up on his question and asked, "Who does it involve?"

Wang Chengye was filled with righteous indignation and said, "Yang Dechang! The iron mine is located in a fault zone, and the rock layer is mainly sandy shale, which is easy to soften and disintegrate when it comes into contact with water. According to the Ministry of Industry's mining and metallurgy law, it can only be mined in a stepped manner. Since he became the chief mine supervisor, in order to mine more ore, he forced the miners to dig vertically and deep. Two months ago, the mine tunnel where the accident occurred began to seep water. I reported to him many times, openly and secretly, that if it was not handled in time, there would be a risk of collapse. Not only did he not listen to my advice, he also reprimanded me for meddling in other people's business and deducted my wages for several months!"

Chen Shao listened to his detailed talk and couldn't help asking, "Were you here as a supervisor before the General Fuguo withdrew, or did you come here after the General Fuguo withdrew?"

Wang Chengye said: "I have been working in this mine for more than 30 years!"

That is, he came before the General of the State took charge of the iron mine. Chen Shao looked at him carefully and picked up Song Baotian's confession. "After the mine began to seep water, how many times did you report to Edward Yang?"

Wang Chengye nodded: "Yes!"

Chen Shao raised his eyes to look at him, "Then why did Song Baotian say that he was the one who reported to Edward Yang?"

Wang Chengye said excitedly: "He lied! He is a despicable villain. Before the mine was flooded, he helped Edward Yang force all the miners to dig vertically and deep, and shamelessly said that it was a new mining method formulated by the General of the State! After the mine was flooded, he also helped Edward Yang force all the miners to continue mining by 'delay fines'!"

Chen Shao's heart sank: "So, what's going on with Zhou Qixin?"

Wang Chengye was stunned for a moment: "Who is Zhou Qixin? I don't know him."

Don't know him? Chen Shao's expression changed slightly, and he spoke faster unconsciously: "Did a new miner come to Xinzi Cave not long before the collapse?"

Wang Chengye nodded subconsciously, and suddenly realized, "Isn't his name Sun An? This Sun An is the villain arranged by Song Baotian."

Sun An, Zhou Qixin... In other words, Song Baotian was lying from the beginning? Chen Shao began to panic again. He tried his best to restrain himself and continued to ask, "Why did Song Baotian arrange this Sun An in your mine?"

Wang Chengye snorted coldly and said with disdain, "This Sun An is sneaky all day long, and his hands and feet are not clean. I tried to drive him away several times, but Song Baotian threatened me, saying that he is a distant relative of Lord Sun, and came to the mine to make a living. It was Lord Sun's order to arrange him in my mine, and told me to be tactful and not to meddle in his business! When I heard him say this, I knew that he was angry that I didn't associate with him, and deliberately arranged Sun An to come to disgust me, but I can't do anything about it. I know the reason, but I can't do anything!"

Chen Shao stood up when he was halfway through his speech. When he finished speaking, he was already at the entrance of the military tent.

"Come here..." Chen Shao had just finished speaking when he saw a few cold lights shooting towards the elite soldiers guarding Sun Guishan and others. Then, a dozen miners raised their pickaxes and rushed towards the elite soldiers.

At the same time, chaos broke out in the two mines involved in the rescue.

Chen Shao walked a few steps toward the mine, then suddenly stopped. Turning back, he scanned the supervisors waiting for interrogation outside the military tent, and his eyes fell on a man lying on the ground, trembling all over, "Edward Yang?"

"It's none of my business. I know nothing..." Edward Yang struggled to kneel down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Chen Shao glanced towards the mine and saw that although the elite soldiers had not yet taken control of the situation, they were gradually taking the initiative. He felt relieved and said, "Tell me what you know, otherwise..."

Chen Shao drew out the sword of the elite soldier beside him and put it on his neck, "Otherwise, I don't mind moving your head to another place!"

The coldness of the sword blade pressing against his skin made Yang Dechang dare not move. "My Lord, I know everything. I am just a ..."

Whoosh.

A sharp arrow shot from the darkness and hit Edward Yang's vest.

The elite soldier at the side snorted coldly, took a step forward, drew his sword and cut off the sharp arrow.

Looking at the broken arrow falling beside him, Edward Yang instantly froze like a rock.

"See? Even if you protect them, they may not let you go!" Chen Shao sneered.

Yang Dechang shivered uncontrollably, his teeth chattered. The blade pierced his skin, blood flowed down the blade, he didn't care about the pain, his voice was hoarse, his words were incoherent: "Sir, please understand, no, it's none of my business, it's Sun Gui, Sun Guishan, and Sun Guihe, it's him, they brought these killers to the mine under the pretext of rescuing those miners...ah..."

One after another, more powerful arrows were shot.

The target every time is Edward Yang.

Edward Yang screamed as he moved again and again. His voice became increasingly sharp and his speech became faster and faster. "They said that if you come here and don't find anything wrong with them, it's fine. But if you do find anything wrong with them, they will make sure you never come back!"

"How many people has he deployed in total?" Chen Shao winked at the elite soldiers who were blocking the arrows.

The elite soldier's sword tilted slightly upwards, and the sharp arrow changed direction and pierced into Edward Yang's shoulder blade. Edward Yang was knocked to the ground by the force of the sharp arrow. Because his hands and feet were tied, he had no place to support himself, and his cheek hit the ground hard.

The ground was covered with iron ore gravel.

His cheek rubbed against the gravel, and his skin was instantly torn.

The intense pain and the instinct to survive made Edward Yang scream in fear: "Sir, help me, sir, help me, I'm willing to confess, I'm begging you to save me!"

"If you want to live, then answer honestly. How many people have Sun Guishan and his men planted in total?" Chen Shao asked slowly.

"One hundred, they have planted a hundred people." The sharp arrow was whizzing towards Yang Dechang. Although it did not fall on him, it was enough to scare him to death. "There are seventy people planted in the iron mine, and thirty people planted in Luoyun Mountain!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, there was a faint muffled sound, like thunder, which seemed to be in her ears and in her heart. Subconsciously, she quickly turned her head to look in the southwest direction. In the far distance, there was smoke and dust rolling straight into the sky.

problem occurs!

"Take them away and keep them under strict watch!" Chen Shao didn't bother to hide his martial arts any more. He just pointed his toes and rushed down the mountain.

Just as she reached the mountainside, she ran into Fu Jiu, who was also rushing up the mountain. Fu Jiu screamed in shock and quickly hugged a big tree. She shouted at her without even turning her head, "Master, something happened! A lot of people have come down the mountain. They want to go up the mountain to plead for Sun Guishan!"
