But at this moment, a voice came from outside the tent: "Captain."

Yang Daqiang hung the wine gourd back on his waist and sat up properly: "Come in and talk."

The person outside lifted the curtain and walked over in two steps.

Still panting, with hot breath coming out of his mouth, he anxiously clasped his fists and said, "Captain Yang, the imperial envoy from above has made another move. He and his deputy, Shen, have been leading their troops without a word, heading towards the mine in charge of Li Xiaoqi."

Although Zhuo Jing and Shen Zhen took their men there quietly, the movement of such a large group of people naturally could not be done silently. As soon as the large group set off, someone discovered it.

But this doesn't matter to them.

They only needed an advantage, an advantage that caught people off guard and prevented them from preparing. Yang Daqiang found out later, but that was just what he knew. Even if he wanted to do anything, it was too late.

Yang Daqiang frowned immediately, a look of displeasure on his face. He tutted and said, "Didn't you check it out carefully yesterday? You went there again today, and you didn't even notify me?"

"This bunch of intellectuals have always been so self-important that they don't take people like us seriously. But isn't this a bit too arrogant? They're such a nuisance!"

"Come on, follow me and take a look!"

"I want to see if he's going to cause any trouble in my area!"

Yang Daqiang stood up cursing, picked up the robe beside him and put it on, then strode out of the tent.

……

On the other side, the mine to the north.

"I can't do it anymore... I can't do it anymore... If I keep doing this, my waist will break. It's a good thing it's winter now, otherwise the wounds on my face and body would definitely fester..."

He San, who was trapped in this mine, pounded his waist and limped out of the mine. Seeing that the guard was far away, he lowered his voice and complained to his co-workers next to him.

The expression on his face with two blood marks was extremely painful.

They worked all day yesterday, digging ore during the day and breaking it at night, working until late at night. If they slacked off even a little, they would be beaten, kicked and whipped. They would be woken up again after less than two hours of sleep and were not allowed to leave the mine until noon.

"Ha! This is just the beginning!" the skinny miner next to him said sarcastically, "You'll have a lot to endure in the future."

After exiting the mine, He San sniffed and frowned, "Where does such a foul smell come from?"

And the next moment he found the source of the smell.

The miners walking ahead of them were queuing with bowls in their hands, waiting for their meals with numb expressions. Or rather... it couldn't be called meals at all... it was just rotten sewage!

This is He San’s first meal since yesterday.

Before this, he was just an uninformed person, an "ordinary miner" who helped them act for the "imperial envoy", and eating and drinking were natural.

So I only found out now.

What these miners usually eat...is actually this...

Even though his stomach was empty and rumbling, he couldn't help but feel a surge of turmoil. Inside, a thousand horses were galloping through his heart: "This Li Shunan... he has such a fucking dark heart!"

After his understanding and inquiries from yesterday to now, he has a general idea of ​​the situation of the mine.

Li Shunan, a small flag of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

He was originally from Yuanzhou Prefecture in Jiangxi Province. After joining the army for a few years, he happened to encounter the imperial court selecting Jinyiwei in the army. He met all the requirements and got a small flag position in the Jinyiwei over the years.

This position is not very high, and the number of people under him is at least a few, and at most a dozen.

If it were placed somewhere else, it would certainly not be enough to do anything.

But here, as a local, with local clans and relatives getting involved...this so-called "little flag" began to stir up trouble here.
