After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

The sturdy man's urging voice came from the front.

Shen Jinyao and others did not delay any further, but continued to follow.

The people in front stopped only when they reached a bumpy area.

The strong man stepped aside and said, "This is it, dig it up."

In Shen Jinyao's team, there are two young men who seem to have some family background.

I guess they believed some rumors and thought that mining could make money.

One of the young men said, "I quit. I want to go back."

The sturdy man looked nonchalant. He snorted and laughed, "Want to go back? Sure. Pay ten taels of silver and I'll send someone to take you back."

what?

It costs one tael of silver to come in and ten taels to go out?

The young man protested, shouting, "You are clearly robbing us. You only ask for one tael of silver when we come in, and you ask for ten taels of silver when you leave without doing anything."

Then he turned to the others and said, "What are you doing? We've all been cheated. Let's go."

The rest of the people also didn't react and didn't understand what was going on.

Why does it cost ten taels of silver?

The young man got angry when he saw everyone's reaction.

He turned and left.

He had only taken a few steps when he was stopped by five yamen runners and two strong men.

Each of them raised a whip, and some even held a board, and started beating them one after another.

"Ah, help!"

"You black-hearted people will get your comeuppance sooner or later."

"Mom, it hurts..."

……

Those people didn't stop until his voice became smaller and smaller.

Several people walked away one by one as if nothing had happened.

Soon someone came with a sack and carried the young man's body away.

"Ah, run away, there is no money here."

Not far away, someone was obviously irritated and started shouting.

Shen Jinyao glanced at the man and it was obvious that he had not just arrived today.

He was skinny and unkempt.

Perhaps his actions stimulated the people around him, and many people started running along with him.

At this time, Meng Da gripped the hoe tightly, and Shen Jinyao shook her head at him.

Soon, more than twenty yamen runners and a dozen strong men appeared and beat the twenty or so people who were running to death.

The rest of the people were watching.

After reading it, some people continued to work listlessly as usual.

Some people sighed after reading it.

Of course, some people even felt gloating after watching that.

……

However, this group of newcomers also saw the situation here clearly.

Meng Da was still unwilling to give up, so he waited until they started working.

He asked around with several elderly people around him.

Not long after, he walked up to Shen Jinyao with a distraught look.

While Shen Jinyao was mining, she threw the ore into the open space in the space.

She planned to put the ore behind the mountain.

Because she looked very obedient, no one noticed her at first.

"Brother Meng, what's wrong?"

When Shen Jinyao saw Meng Da in front of her, she thought that he must know that he had been deceived.

"Brother Jin, I'm sorry."

Shen Jinyao looked around and asked, "How can you say that?"

Meng Da took a deep breath and said, "Once you come here, you can't leave. No one has ever left."

"They never paid their wages. All the people either died here or were still working."

This is similar to what Shen Jinyao thought.

As expected, this place just deceives people and not only takes their money, but also squeezes every last drop of blood out of them.

Shen Jinyao: "Does this place provide meals?"

Meng Da didn't expect Shen Jinyao to react like this. It was such a time and she was still thinking about eating?

Meng Da thought that Shen Jinyao couldn't react for a while, after all, she was a child who had never suffered.

He said, "Don't worry, Brother Jin, I will definitely find a way to get you out."

After he finished speaking, he saw the yamen runners coming over, so he consciously moved away from Shen Jinyao.

Shen Jinyao's worries are not unfounded. Although meals are provided here, the meals are too little and tasteless.

She couldn't eat a single bite.

No, she must escape tonight.

As for the Meng brothers, she was wondering if there was any way for them to go together.

"Hey, do you think it's particularly hot today?"

"Yes, it's hot and muggy today."

"Is it going to rain?"

“Who knows, there haven’t been any rains on some days.”

……

Shen Jinyao felt it and found that the temperature was indeed a bit high.

Higher than any day before.

She looked up at the sky, which was gloomy and dark.

But the yamen runners didn't care about that and took the rice bucket away in just a short while.

So they began the long mining process again.

Just then, Shen Jinyao discovered the two Jinyiwei men.

The two of them were mining.

You know what, he works pretty hard.

Are the Jinyiwei so short of money?

It seems not, there must be something else going on here.

The emperor will definitely notice the difference in Baoyun Ridge and ask the Jinyiwei to thoroughly investigate the situation here.

Shen Jinyao was worried that she would be discovered, so she kept avoiding them.

Suddenly, there was a noise not far away.

There was applause and whistles.

Shen Jinyao looked over and saw a lot of yamen runners and strong men gathered there.

They all had purses in their hands, as if someone was handing out money.

Soon everyone dispersed and the person in the innermost part revealed his true identity.

Shen Jinyao took a closer look and her eyes widened instantly.

The man standing there who looks like a peacock, who else could it be but Pan Ye, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?

When she entered the city just now, she was still wondering where Pan Ye had gone?

Or maybe he is naturally sensitive as a Jinyiwei.

Perhaps it was because Shen Jinyao's expression was too direct, Pan Ye also looked over at Shen Jinyao.

She quickly lowered her head, used the basket to cover half of her body, and moved to another place.

Shen Jinyao cursed inwardly, thinking how unlucky she was. How could he see it?

Now she only hoped that Pan Ye didn't recognize her.

After all, she painted her face darker, so it should be hard to recognize her, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Jinyao became normal again. She was about to get up and dig in another hole when she heard someone talking next to her.

The sky was very gloomy, and the ore was all black, so it was indeed difficult to see anyone in the pit.

Judging from the voice, it should be the yamen runner who just received the money.

"Hey, who do you think this guy is?"

"Who knows? They're giving out money without doing anything, especially when the boss isn't around."

"Since they are sent by the higher-ups, we won't get involved."

"Of course, I don't think this person's behavior is that of someone from the Second Prince's side."

"It's like..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, if others hear us we're done..."

"Damn it, there's a mine next to this. Is there anyone inside?"

"Hurry and see, if there's anyone around, kill him immediately!"

"quick!!"
