Chapter 1261 567 Manipulation (3 More)
Magistrate Yu and Liu Bantou were sentenced to be executed on the spot, but before asking the beheading, the prefect made the two parade the streets for a full hour in order to quell the anger of the people. Greeting these two bodies, it is said that the two of them asked that the beheaded head would be hanged at the entrance of the market for three days and three nights, and they would be cast aside...
After Mo Xiuyu reported these things briefly, he talked about the silver mine: "Master Shizi, the subordinates have already asked the old master to investigate the abandoned mine near Chengjia Village. The master judged that the silver mines dug up by the villagers of Chengjia Village should be far less than 10%.
The more Mo Xiuyu spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes lit up and his cheeks flushed, as if he had seen hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of snowflakes appearing in front of him.
With all this money, there is nothing to worry about!
He settled down and said again: "Master Shizi, this time it's really thanks to Xiao Hui for taking back the ore, and Concubine Shizi decisively..."
Mo Xiuyu said happily, but did not notice that Xiao Yi's face was not very good-looking.
Thinking that Nangongyue almost had an accident, Xiao Yi could not wait to slash the gang of Yu County magistrates with a thousand cuts, and clenched his right fists tightly together.
Mo Xiuyu spoke vigorously, and continued without noticing: "Master Shizi, the old master who went to investigate also said that the gang of Yu County magistrates are just laymen, and they are on the mountain next to the mine. A large amount of explosives were placed in an attempt to blow up the mountain and bury the village, but I didn’t know that these two mountains were actually a terrestrial vein, and the whole body was moved by a single shot.
At that time, the county magistrate of Nayu had sent dozens of coolies into the mine to dig for silver. If the mine collapsed, dozens of lives would be lost because of the black-hearted magistrate. Dozens of families lost their families because of the lack of males...
Thinking of those coolies who went home safely, Mo Xiuyu also felt a little sigh.
Xiao Yi's right hand tapped a few times on the desk, thinking with a solemn expression.
What Mo Xiuyu said was also a warning to Xiao Yi. The most feared thing when mining is the collapse of the mine. Once such an accident occurs, the miners trapped in the mine will probably die.
Xiao Yi pondered for a while and said, "I will write a letter to my grandfather in Luoyue City. Fang's family has a lot of mining industry and there are many talents. I will go to my grandfather to borrow some people first." Although he also has a mine in his name, But for mining, he is really a layman, and it is more appropriate to ask his grandfather for advice.
"Your Highness is right." Mo Xiuyu clasped his fists in agreement, "My subordinates have temporarily sent troops to guard the mine, and no one is allowed to enter at will."
After reporting about the silver mine, Xiao Yi ordered him to check the origins of the private soldiers in the hands of the county magistrate. Xiao Yi couldn't care less about those private soldiers, and he wondered if there was someone else behind the magistrate of Yu. Mo Xiuyu made a solemn promise and retire.
As soon as he left the study, he saw Lily looking at him expectantly, smiling enthusiastically.
After the two of them talked for a while, Lily's shoulders slumped, and she came back with a gloomy look, and went to Lin Jingchen's yard.
As soon as Lily entered the yard, Thrush greeted her. Seeing that her expression was not right, she asked concernedly, "Sister Lily, but what happened?"
Lily frowned, and immediately poured out the bitter water: "Thrush, I didn't leave that apprentice to Xiaowei Mo to take care of me for a while. Originally I thought that Xiaowei Mo was coming, and my apprentice should also be here. Thinking that Captain Mo temporarily left him at the inn..."
Lily sighed, but also knew that Mo Xiuyu was right. He was eager to come to Yanding City to return to Xiao Yi, and it was indeed inconvenient to take the two children on the road without stopping.
Seeing Lily's sluggish appearance, Thrush is neither able to help her to blame Xiaowei Mo, nor to speak for him, so he simply changed the subject and said, "Sister Lily, Concubine Shizi is talking to Miss Han about a few days' trip, you Do you want to go too?"
"Of course I'm going." Lily's eyes suddenly lit up, the bottom of her eyes was as bright as the stars in the night sky, dazzling and shining, and her spirit was also lifted up, she raised her eyes and looked forward.
Under a big tree in front, Nangong Yue and Han Qixia were sitting at a stone table talking. The wound on Han Qixia's neck had not healed, and she was still wrapped in a white bandage. She deliberately wore a high-necked dress to cover it up slightly.
Lily stepped forward quickly, saluted Nangong Yuezheng and Han Qixia, and then said with a smile, "Prince Prince, you must bring your servants on this trip."
Yanding City is still on high alert. Ordinary people who want to enter or leave the city must have the approval of Xiao Yi, Li Shoubei and others.
It's rare to come to a new place, but I can only be trapped in the city and can't go out, and I'm really bored to Lily. When I hear that I can go out to let the wind, I immediately volunteered.
Baihui frowned speechlessly: After this girl got married, she didn't look at herself, she really became more and more out of order.
Lily naturally noticed the change in her cousin's expression, and smiled and winked at Baihui, meaning, I'm here to serve as a bodyguard for Concubine Shizi, and Concubine Shizi is traveling, I should have accompany her!
Nangong Yue looked at the exchange of eyes between the two cousins with interest. It was like having sisters... Thinking about it, she felt a trace of regret that she didn't have a sister in her heart.
She half-drowned her eyes and bit her lower lip, maybe... Maybe in the future, she and Ah Yi can have a pair of beautiful sisters, and she will raise them like her mother Lin raised her...
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue's cheeks were slightly red, and she felt a little embarrassed. She coughed dryly, and said with a nonchalant smile, "Okay, I'll bring you and Alan."
"The slave maid thanked the princess."
Lily was instantly overjoyed, and she was beaming with joy, as if she had received some great reward. The girls around couldn't help but laugh, and even Han Qixia covered her mouth and laughed, thinking: The Lily next to Yue'er is really lively. It's tight, it makes people look at ease.
She still remembered that Yue'er had mentioned to her by chance that Baihui Lily, the cousins, had been dependent on each other since childhood, so they must be very lonely. But even so, Lily still maintains this optimistic temperament. This may be her nature, or it may be because she has a solid shield behind her... just like her cousin, and like her husband...
Thinking about it, Han Qixia couldn't help looking at Nangong Yue beside her, and Lin Jingchen who was drying the medicine not far away. I was lucky enough to lose some, but also gained others.
and also……
Han Qixia subconsciously stroked the bandage on her neck, her expression a little complicated for a while.
"Sister Xia..." Nangong Yue looked at Han Qixia worriedly.
Han Qixia suddenly came back to her senses, smiled, and her smile was as bright as a camellia: "It's okay, it's just that the wound hurts a little, Yue'er, so you can't stop taking me out to play!"
Nangong Yue was stunned. She thought that with Han Qixia's temperament, she would definitely say that she was fine and swallow the pain and discomfort, but she didn't want this time...
Nangong Yue couldn't help but scrutinize Han Qixia carefully, she always felt that she seemed to be different in some places, her eyes seemed to be more determined, but there was a clear feeling.
Since she came to Southern Border, Han Qixia has been working hard, studying medicine, adapting to life, and changing herself... Nangong Yue felt that Han Qixia seemed to be pushing herself too hard, but she didn't know how to persuade her. Only she can understand the mood, and only she can live the life. Since she is trying to face it with a positive attitude, what qualifications do others have to make a beak or reprimand? It is just with condescending superiority.
But now Han Qixia seems to have another subtle difference, as if... as if she suddenly realized something.
Nangong Yue hooked her lips into a smile, her eyes were full of smiles, and she didn't ask any further questions. As long as Sister Xia can get better and better.
A few girls gathered around and discussed the dry food, snacks, tea, etc. to prepare for the trip. These things must be prepared tonight.
A bright smile bloomed on Nangong Yue's face, as if when she returned to the capital, she would swim with Jiang Yixi, Yuan Yuyi, Fu Yunyan and the others...
Only this time, I'm afraid they can't let them have fun.
