win the hairpin

Chapter 151
It's cold, and the workers' clothes are thin, or the short brown that they wear in autumn. Many people walk around with holes in their shoes, with their toes sticking out, and their hands are cracked and turned into dried mud.

This is the case outside the well, but it is even more difficult inside the well, which can only be illuminated with pine strips, and the workers can't rest for a moment.

The workers just glanced at the arrival of Xu Laiyu and his party, and then continued to work under the lash of the Yacha. In the whole smelting field, there were less than a hundred people who put Wujin back and forth, and the rest were underground.

Wujin's pungent smell wafted in the cold wind, Xu Laiyu rubbed his nose, and asked Yacha to lead the way to Judge Li.

The Yacha said: "Mr. Li has gone down the well. Mr. Xu, please go and sit in the duty room. I'll call someone right away."

Xu Laiyu couldn't believe it: "Did you go down the well? Is it raining red today?"

This is really a rare event that is rare in a hundred years, and he actually encountered it.

After finishing speaking, he realized that King Jin was still around, and quickly said to King Jin who was wearing a dust-covering hat: "My lord, I have absolutely no intention of slandering Mr. Li."

He was afraid of the King of Jin, and he didn't even know where the fear came from. In fact, the King of Jin was kind and pleasant, and he never said a single serious word to him.

King Jin waved his hand, showing great tolerance towards the magistrate who was too stubborn to be promoted.

Xu Laiyu led King Jin and his entourage and guards to the duty room, while lowering his voice and said: "This Wujinyechang has become a heart problem for lower officials. They say that it is a good thing that Wujinyechang is here. The workers work one day." I can get forty renminbi, the salary is high, but I don’t let anyone go back to rest all year round, and the underground is digging blindly. It collapsed twice and killed more than a dozen workers before it got better. Some people don’t want to work anymore. Mr. Li They force people to do it, save trouble and don’t dig ventilation ducts, just use the air supply tube to send as much air down, people will suffer from problems underground, and the nearby villages are in a mess.”

Seeing that King Jin was in a friendly mood and listening to himself, he couldn't help but say something from his heart: "The village is no better than the county. The farmer is the most important. The strong and laborers are no longer farming. What to eat, forty cash a day." Money, the family has to eat and drink, if something happens, it will be over, some people have six or seven people in the family, just such a strong laborer."

The king of Jin listened, pondered for a long time, and said to Xu Laiyu: "The words of the magistrate Xu must not be told to others. It is rare for the imperial court to share the worries, and the magistrate of Xu County is concerned about the people."

Xu Laiyu didn't expect King Jin to say such intimate words, and his fear of him eased a lot. He immediately regarded King Jin as his bosom friend, knew everything he could say, and invited King Jin to see the tent in his yamen. Thin.

King Jin put the crane cloak on his body and listened attentively. The two talked and listened to each other, but they stayed where they were.

The Yacha said that there was a fire in the duty room, and there was an iron pot on the fire, and mutton was stewed in it, but they couldn't make them move.

When the two of them were standing still, You Song suddenly twitched his nose and smelled a more pungent smell in the air.

At the same time, he could smell gunpowder smoke in the cold wind.

The smell of the factory itself was very pungent, this slight change did not attract the attention of others, but You Song intuitively felt something was wrong.

"My lord!" He didn't care about concealing his identity any more, and threw himself on King Jin with all his might.

As soon as he moved, Huang Ting, who was the most alert, followed closely behind him, throwing King Jin to the ground like crazy, one left and one right, tightly covering King Jin under him.

Seeing this change, the others were at a loss at first, they didn’t expect that the person who came with Xu Laiyu turned out to be the King of Jin, and then saw the people brought by King Jin coming from the chrysalis, they all thought it was an assassin, so they all followed glance right and left.

Finally, a loud bang like thunder interrupted all their thoughts.

Amidst the loud noise, the hard Wujin Well turned into soft soil, and it collapsed irreparably. The air wave overturned the smelting yard, sprayed out from the ground, and slapped everyone to the ground.

Xu Laiyu was rolled on the ground by the air wave, and couldn't stop like a kite with a broken string. He struggled to grab something, and finally a hand stretched out and grabbed him.

It was the hand of a guard next to King Jin, holding him firmly.

Once he was able to stop, he felt that his brain was also roaring, his ears seemed to be deaf, and he could only hear the buzzing sound, and when he looked up again, he saw that the sky was turned upside down, countless figures scattered and were slapped to the ground , unable to get up.

Wujin Yechang exploded!

Can't stay here, the wells criss-cross underground, one after the other, once they explode, they will explode in a row, and the power is enough to raze the mill to the ground.

He struggled to raise his head and shouted in the direction of King Jin: "My lord! Run!"

He didn't see King Jin's figure, but only saw a few people stacked together, they should be protecting King Jin.

Run!

The farther you run, the better!

Little did they know that his voice could not be heard in the chaos, but fortunately King Jin got up by himself, You Song and others protected King Jin from front to back, left and right, and began to run staggeringly to the outside of the yard.

Xu Laiyu also struggled to stand up, and ran in the same direction as King Jin. Just after running two steps, there was another earth-shattering explosion.

This time, the landslides and the ground cracked, and everyone was falling and sinking, but the air waves sprayed out the sinking people, like a goddess scattered flowers, scattered everywhere.

Xu Laiyu felt that someone was holding him tightly all the time. The other arm of this person was clinging to nowhere, which made him just bump up and down, and he didn't throw it very far.

Something fell from the sky and landed in front of him. When he took a closer look, it was a bloody thigh.

Xu Laiyu was terrified, the sliver of clarity in his mind was squeezed out by his stump, and he howled heart-piercingly.

Nearly five hundred people, gone, all gone!
The heat wave is sweeping, another bigger explosion is coming, You Song runs wildly with King Jin on his back, he can't control the others, he can only let King Jin escape first, Huang Ting is in front of the other disciples. Drag it down, and follow closely behind.

King Jin opened his eyes in the overwhelming black ash, and looked back at Xu Laiyu.

Xu Laiyu ran wildly with his hands and feet, his eyes were like copper bells, and his face could not be seen, because everyone had a pitch-black face.

With a bang, the ground trembled, and the last round of explosions finally came, crushing everything to pieces.

This time, everyone fell to the ground and there was no movement.

The huge smelting field was silent and messy, and the snow melted under the firelight, unable to cover up the tragic situation on the ground.

The corpses fell in all directions, and there were very few people alive. The busy smelting well disappeared, and the underground workers were buried on the spot, turning into ashes under the fire.

After a while, King Jin moved slightly on the ground, the roar was still in his ears, but he could already hear the whistling wind. In the cold wind and snow, he gradually regained his senses.

There would not be such a huge explosion in the yard for no reason, and it was when he was there.

To bury so many lives is to kill him alone.

The Zhang family is committing crimes.
