Crazy criticizes the regent for reading my mind and his character collapses

This question finally had an answer after Lan Jue came back.

"Sir, they are transporting iron from another abandoned mine on the mountain. They regard the emperor as a spy. Their leader has issued a death order and will detain all outsiders they see, regardless of life or death."

"Life or death?"

Li Beimu and Li Qingmo frowned at the same time.

"Who do they think they are? That they can decide people's life and death at will?"

Li Beimu: "Uncle, there must be something wrong with that abandoned mine."

He wanted to go over and have a look, but he didn't dare to mention it.

After all, he seemed to have been protected by Wen Ying just now.

The emperor's uncle also said that he was a three-legged cat in Kung Fu.

"Want to go to that abandoned mine?" Li Qingmo asked.

Li Beimu: "There must be a secret there. Sun Fanggui has been gone for a while and hasn't come back yet. Maybe he went there."

Li Qingmo pondered for a moment, "Lan Jue, go with him."

"Yes."

Li Beimu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Thank you, uncle."

After they left, Li Qingmo called Xia Rui over: "Deploy troops and seal the mountain. From now on, no one will be allowed in or out."

"Yes, Master." Xia Rui responded and left using Qinggong.

The wind blows and the snow comes again.

Nan Xi gathered his cloak and stood next to Li Qingmo.

The abandoned mine had been wrapped up, and Sun Fanggui was kneeling on the snow, trembling and shivering. He didn't know whether he was cold or frightened.

Lan Jue and his men carried out boxes and boxes of weapons from the waste mine. As for those who resisted, they were all restrained by him and Wen Ying.

Listening to the sound of unpacking boxes behind him, Sun Fanggui became even more frightened and kept kowtowing.

"My lord forgive me."

"My lord, please forgive me."

"These have nothing to do with Wei Chen. Wei Chen only learned about this today. He originally wanted to see what was going on first and then report it to the prince."

Wen Ying touched Nan Xi's shoulder lightly and said mockingly: "Nan Nan, do you see what lies are telling lies with your eyes open? No wonder people use the word "official" in Chinese. I'm afraid Mr. Sun has ten long hairs on his body. Twenty mouths."

Nan Xi couldn't help laughing, but soon she couldn't laugh anymore.

The soldiers who were transferred brought out many thin teenage boys from the abandoned mine. They were emaciated and covered with various scars on their bodies.

Nan Xi walked over to check them and found that most of them were whip wounds and stick wounds.

Wen Ying told her: "When we entered, they were working with their heads down. Some fainted from hunger and fell to the ground. They were kicked aside by the person in charge, and the next person continued to work."

"How old are you? Where is your home?" Nan Xi squatted down and asked a young man.

The young man hesitated and shook his head. When he was excited, he could only make gestures with his hands.

Wen Ying added: "They are all deaf, mute, and illiterate."

Nan Xi: "!"

It's impossible that so many people are deaf and mute at the same time. The manager here is not a philanthropist, but he specially recruits deaf and mute people to work?The only explanation is that they brought people here, silenced them, and then made them do hard labor.

Bang!
Li Beimu kicked Sun Fanggui down and shouted angrily: "Are you still human?"

Sun Fanggui knew that there was no possibility of saving himself, and with a sudden thought, he pulled out his dagger and stabbed Li Beimu.

"emperor!"

Everyone was shocked.

Wen Ying, Xia Rui and Lan Jue took action at the same time.

One pulled Li Beimu back, and the other two restrained Sun Fanggui, one on the left and one on the right.

Sun Fanggui was also stunned.

"The Emperor?" "Are you actually the Emperor?"

It turned out to be the case.

He suddenly understood how he had fallen into trouble.

He actually tried to bribe the emperor and even brought the emperor to the mountain himself.

In order to better inspect the mine, Xia Rui set up a temporary camp at the foot of the mountain.

Li Qingmo originally planned to let Nan Xi rest in the camp, but she insisted on treating the injuries of the children who had been rescued.

Helpless, Li Qingmo could only order people to continue setting up camp and place all the injured so that Nan Xi would not have to brave the heavy snow to do things.

"Don't be afraid. This medicine will help you stop bleeding. It won't hurt." Even though he knew the other party couldn't hear him, Nan Xi comforted her softly and applied the medicine very gently, not wanting these children to suffer any more pain.

There were more than 100 people, all kinds of old and new scars, shocking.

The most serious thing is that you only have one breath left, and you don’t know if you can survive the night?
And that's not the most infuriating thing.

The most infuriating thing is that when Xia Rui led his soldiers to search from the foot of the mountain upwards, they also discovered a mass grave containing hundreds or thousands of skeletons.

Night falls, the snow is still falling, and the wind blows on people's faces, which is painful.

Li Qingmo asked Nan Xi to stay in the camp, while he took Li Beimu to the mass grave.

An hour later, they came back. Li Beimu's eyes were red, as if he had cried, and the childishness in his eyes seemed to have faded a lot in an instant, becoming more calm and determined.

Sun Fanggui was still kneeling in the snow, his legs were numb, his body was covered with thick snow, and his teeth were shaking from the cold.

"Nan'er, is there any medicine that can save someone's life?" Li Qingmo returned to the camp and asked Nan Xi.

No need to ask, Nan Xi also knew what he wanted this medicine for.

"Yes." Nan Xi took out many medicine bottles at once, and even forgot how to explain that there were so many bottles on her body.

Li Qingmo didn't ask any questions, took them all and gave them to Lan Jue.

Lan Jue was cruel. He tortured Sun Fanggui in the snow, and even asked someone to find salt and sprinkle it on his wounds. Sun Fanggui cried in pain.

"I say! I say everything!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, please spare your life!"

In just two hours, Sun Fanggui couldn't hold it any longer. He answered all questions and explained everything about the iron ore.

"I am only responsible for looking after the iron mines and transportation, and sending the account books to the capital every month."

Li Qingmo looked at Sun Fanggui, who was almost bloody, with a calm expression and a tone that was colder than the snow in this winter.

He asked: "Who are the weapons shipped to? Where are the account books sent?"

Sun Fanggui was so angry that he was in so much pain that he had no energy to speak. It took him a long time to say: "Gong, Gong..."

Whoosh!
A sharp arrow flew and hit Sun Fanggui's throat.

His eyes widened and he breathed out.

"Over there!" Lan Jue pointed to the direction of the arrow, "Chase!"

He led his men in pursuit.

Xia Rui stayed with the remaining people to prevent the enemy from diverting the tiger away from the mountain.

"Sir, Sun Fanggui is dead. You and the emperor should go in and leave the rest to your subordinates," Xia Rui said.

Li Qingmo nodded.

After Li Beimu entered, he asked: "Uncle Huang, is what he just said about Gong the King of Gong?"

"There is no evidence and just his last few words cannot convict King Gong." Li Qingmo poured a cup of hot tea and stuffed it into Nan Xi's hand.

"If it feels cold, let's go back to the city first."

Nan Xi shook his head, "I'm not cold, really."

Then he asked: "Is Sun Fanggui dead?"
