After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world
Chapter 81 Private Mining
Huo Shuixian glared at Huo Zihao with resentment, her eyes full of disbelief and deep resentment, "Huo Zihao, you are actually speaking for outsiders, but I am your own sister!" Her voice was sharp and piercing, filled with endless anger and grievance.
Huo Jianjie's face darkened as he shouted angrily, "Narcissus, you still don't repent! Isn't it enough to embarrass yourself?"
However, Huo Shuixian seemed to have lost her mind. She shouted at Huo Jianjie, "Dad, you won't help me! I'm being bullied like this, but you all stand on their side. Am I still your daughter?"
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She looked both pitiful and hateful.
Huo Jianjie was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Look at what you're like now! You're so arrogant and unreasonable! Where have your manners gone?"
Huo Shuixian sneered, "Upbringing? Have I ever received any real love and guidance in this family? You all only know how to blame me, but never care about why I'm like this!"
Everyone around was stunned by her outburst, and the children were so frightened that they dared not make a sound.
Huo Jianjie didn't want to argue with her in public anymore, so he reached out to pull her, "Come with me, don't embarrass yourself here anymore!"
Huo Shuixian struggled to break free from his hand, "I won't leave! If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave!"
"It's none of your business!" Huo Jianjie was furious. He grabbed her arm and dragged her to the back of the team.
Huo Shuixian struggled while cursing, "You will all die a miserable death! I won't let you go!"
Huo Jianjie finally couldn't stand it anymore and slapped her in the face, "If you keep making trouble, I won't acknowledge you as my daughter!"
This slap instantly silenced Huo Shuixian. She covered her slapped cheek, her eyes filled with despair and hatred. "Dad, you actually hit me... From childhood to adulthood, you never touched me, and today, for these outsiders, you hit me..."
Huo Jianjie looked at her, feeling both angry and heartbroken. "Narcissus, you've disappointed me so much! If you still recognize me as your father, then come with me and reflect on your actions!"
Huo Shuixian bit her lip and stopped talking, letting Huo Jianjie pull her away from everyone's sight.
The team continued to move forward, and people gradually forgot the farce just now. Only Huo Zihao felt a little worried. He knew his second sister's temper, and this matter might not end so easily.
Huo Shuixian, who was being dragged away, remained silent the entire way, but her eyes became increasingly gloomy and terrifying. She secretly swore in her heart that she would make those who embarrassed her pay the price.
……
On the other side of the forest, Murong Ling'er's figure quietly disappeared among the green trees.
She hugged Murong Chen in her arms, only to see Murong Chen glaring angrily at the hard laborers not far away.
Those people were tortured to the point of being pale, thin and haggard, looking even more miserable than the exiles.
Murong Chen clenched his fists in anger and said through gritted teeth, "Mom, these people are completely heartless. They actually captured so many strong laborers to work in the mines!"
It turned out that after successfully capturing the man in black last night, everyone fell asleep peacefully, except Murong Ling'er, who was unable to sleep! She keenly realized that this matter would not be resolved so easily.
Sure enough, not long after, two strange-looking men in black sneaked in. There was a strange aura around these two men in black, their eyes glowed with a faint green light in the night, and the joints of their limbs seemed to be able to bend at abnormal angles. They moved more like ferocious beasts than normal humans.
After a careful search in the yard, they successfully found their companion who was tied up tightly and still unconscious, and took him away.
Murong Ling'er decisively woke up Chuchu and Wang, asked them to sleep in their own rooms, and told them that there was a barrier in the room and there would be no danger!
Then he walked into the small house where Li Qiuyue lived and solemnly told her to take the young children with him in his carriage.
After hurriedly explaining these important matters, Murong Ling'er took Murong Chen and quietly followed him.
The two men in black, who looked like beasts, had extraordinary martial arts skills, were agile and their movements were treacherous. Even though they were carrying a seriously injured companion, they did not leave any trace on the snow.
Fortunately, Murong Ling'er's spiritual awareness was far beyond that of ordinary people, and she always followed the two people calmly.
They passed through heavily guarded checkpoints along the way.
The guards in these outposts all had tense expressions, holding sharp blades and looking around vigilantly.
Murong Ling'er took Murong Chen and carefully avoided the sight of the guards. With their outstanding skills and keen insight, they successfully escaped detection.
After a difficult stealth journey, they finally arrived near a mine.
At this moment, the sky was already bright.
The mother and son hid patiently in the tree for a long time, only to see a group of skinny men slowly walking out of the mine. They had extremely dull expressions, as if they had lost their souls, and had heavy chains tied to their feet. Every step they took was extremely difficult. They dragged their exhausted bodies and walked step by step into the wooden shed next to them for rest.
Seeing this, Murong Chen cursed angrily: "These people are so abominable, they deserve to die!"
However, Murong Ling'er's beautiful eyes only lightly swept across the laborers who were working hard, and did not linger on them for too long.
What she was thinking about was more important. She closed her eyes slightly, concentrated her mind, and mobilized her powerful spiritual power, which extended like an invisible silk thread towards the depths of the mine.
As her spiritual sense continued to penetrate deeper, Murong Ling'er seemed to be able to feel the intricate structure inside the mine and the mysterious power hidden within it.
The air around her seemed to become heavier because of her movements, and a faint invisible pressure spread.
I saw the densely packed coolies inside, like a colony of ants, holding tools and constantly hammering on the mine wall. Their movements were mechanical and repetitive, as if they had lost their self-awareness.
With the continuous hammering of tools, pieces of gold mines gradually appeared, and next to the feet of the coolies, there were boxes filled with gold pieces of various sizes.
Seeing this scene, Murong Ling'er instantly understood the key.
The reason why these people did not dare to kidnap people openly was because this was an illegal mine.
You should know that in the Great Zhao Kingdom, once the private opening of a gold mine is exposed, it is a serious crime that will result in the extermination of all nine generations of the family.
Murong Ling'er pondered, "These men in black are so strange, like controlled beastmen. There must be some evil cultivator behind this. To be able to wield such power, the owner of the gold mine must be someone extremely powerful and well-connected within the imperial court! Otherwise, no matter how ingenious their methods, they would never be able to cover up the disappearance of so many people! Moreover, considering the scale of this gold mine, the interests involved must be staggering. If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, who knows how many more innocent people will suffer."
