Chapter 135 Killing like crazy (asking for monthly ticket)
Zhao Yuanxi remembered that he had been here for less than a year!
Compared to risking rising water levels and waiting for the stones at the entrance to be moved away, taking this route is obviously safer.
Zhao Yuanxi never thought that he would actually experience the "Redemption of Xiao Shengke".
Although the secret passage was narrow, it was more than enough for her.
Outside the cave, Zuo Caitie climbed down from halfway up the mountain with a number of his men.
"Brother, I did a pretty good job, didn't I?"
You Caitie looked at the cave entrance that was tightly blocked by stones and said with a smile, "That's right, let's go back and deal with the things that the Queen Mother brought with her."
"After all, she is the Queen Mother. What if the King finds out something? What should we do?" Zuo Caitie was still a little scared. They had killed many people in their daily lives, but they had never attacked nobles, let alone this was the Queen Mother!
You Caitie snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of? The people are already buried here. Do you really want to dig them out?"
"Today, either she dies or we die! Kill all the prisoners who have seen the Queen Mother. If anyone comes to investigate, we will say that we have never seen her."
"Yes, I'll do it right away!"
"Oh no! Caitieling, Changping Jun is here suddenly." The guard came to report hurriedly.
You Caitie's face darkened instantly, and he cursed, "Why are these nobles coming to me for no reason?"
He just wanted to live a rich life here and didn't want to cause trouble, but one by one they came to cause trouble for him.
"Lord Changping is here to see the Queen Mother," said the guard.
"Has the Empress Dowager's carriage been hidden?" You Caitie asked hurriedly.
"I hid it, but—"
"Just what?"
"Those captured prisoners were begging for mercy from the Queen Mother, and it was heard by Lord Changping." The guard said tremblingly with a bitter face.
You Caitie was shocked, but soon he calmed down. "Go, throw the Queen Mother's carriage onto the road and pretend it's been robbed. If Lord Changping asks about it later, just say the Queen Mother has left."
Everyone received the order and followed it immediately.
You Caitie adjusted his clothes and glanced at the cave where water was already flooding, with a sinister look in his eyes.
Mi Qi heard this morning that the Queen Mother had come here, and was worried that she might encounter some difficulties, so he hurried over to help, but unexpectedly he didn't see her.
"Where did the Queen Mother go?" Mi Qi put down the teacup in his hand heavily, looking unhappy.
Is there something that he doesn't know?
The supervisor smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Changping. I've already informed the iron quarrying officer. When he returns, he'll know where the Empress Dowager is."
The deaf and mute old man limped on one leg and served tea and snacks to Mi Qi.
The food at the mine was really not tasty. Mi Qi had no appetite and didn't even look at it.
A gleam flashed in the old man's eyes, and he continued to add tea to Mi Qi. His hand shook, and the scalding hot water poured onto Mi Qi's arm.
Mi Qi felt so much pain that he almost overturned the table.
Seeing this, the supervisor kicked the old man away and said, "Useless thing, he can't even pour a glass of water. Please forgive me, Lord Changping. This old man is clumsy and hurt you. I will take him away and teach him a lesson."
Mi Qi wiped the water off his clothes and saw the old man vomiting blood after being kicked. He frowned and said, "Forget it, all of you get off!"
The old man got up tremblingly, wiped the water stains on the table, and kowtowed repeatedly to Mi Qi before retreating.
When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Mi Qi.
Mi Qi was slightly stunned. It seemed that the gaze was not so much looking at him as it was looking at the table. What was so good about this table?
He lowered his head, his pupils shrinking slightly.
You Caitie pushed the door open and came in, smiling and bowing, saying, "Lord Changping is here, and I hope you will forgive me for not coming to greet you."
Mi Qi casually wiped the water stains off the table, his expression natural. "You're welcome. I heard the queen mother is coming. I wonder if Cai Tieling could take me to find her?"
"This, Changping Jun has not seen the Queen Mother yet? Strange, hasn't she already gone back! You can see how miserable I am! After all, the Queen Mother is worth a lot of money. I am extremely honored to have seen the Queen Mother in my lifetime. How could I dare to think that I could entertain the Queen Mother?"
"Gone?" Mi Qi stood up and looked at the clerk in front of him, his brows furrowed even tighter.
The Queen Mother deals with the soil all day long, so how could she dislike this place? Normally, she would never give up until she achieves her goal, so how could she just come here and go back?
"Did the Queen Mother say how to make iron?"
“No.”
Mi Qi's suspicion grew even stronger. "Did the Queen Mother leave anyone else behind?"
"The people the Queen Mother brought with her naturally went back with her."
Mi Qi concluded that the clerk in front of him was deceiving him. Thinking of the words written by the old man just now, he suddenly had a bad guess in his mind.
Even if the Queen Mother goes back, she will definitely leave Li and the Mo family members here. It is impossible for her to do nothing.
Now he just wants to know where the Queen Mother is?
"Changping Jun, where are you going?"
Mi Qi ignored him and went out to call the guards around him, "Come here, find the Queen Mother for me, you must find her for me."
He stood at the door and watched the guards leave.
There was a gloomy look in You Caitie's eyes, and he sighed slightly.
Sensing the murderous intent behind him, Mi Qi suddenly turned around and saw You Caitie holding an iron rod and smashing it towards his head.
Mi Qi subconsciously dodged, but was still hit in the left shoulder. He gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you!"
Before he could finish his words, the guards surrounded him. Half of Mi Qi's guards were sent to find the Queen Mother, and the remaining dozen or so people were unable to stop the guards.
Mi Qi was tied up.
You Caitie was deeply distressed. Sitting across from Mi Qi, he said helplessly, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do that! Why are you all so clever? Don't you know that being too clever will only lead to your death?"
Mi Qi struggled, his eyes filled with anger, "How dare you! Are you trying to rebel?"
"How dare I! You are wronging me. However, it is worth it for my life to be able to drag two noble people down with me!" He grinned.
"What did you do to the Queen Mother?"
"Don't worry, the Queen Mother's passing wasn't painful! You'll be able to see her soon!"
Mi Qi felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, his eyes filled with disbelief, "You——"
"Oh! You really can't blame me. Who made you cause so much trouble for me! What's wrong with me selling some ironware? I have paid all the ironware collected by the government every year! Why aren't those extra ones mine? Is there anything wrong with me making this money?" You Caitie's face was full of resentment, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"How could you, high and mighty people, understand how difficult it is for me! I've spent my entire life here, and it's no different from the flesh on my body!"
"If it weren't for you guys who pushed me into this situation step by step, how could I have done such a thing?"
