Chapter 204 Uncle Gold Mine Engineering
The worst news was that Lou Ben and Ma Rong conspired to frame Cheng Shi and Yan Zhong. After Li Feng and Ma Rong did all this, they were silenced by Lou Ben.
Tongniu County is an important town for storing refined copper after the Shouchun copper mine is smelted. It is understandable that Li Fu wants to seize this place. When he heard that Cheng Shi and Yan Zhong stole the refined copper and escaped, he would certainly kill them halfway.
"If Cheng Shi and Yan Zhong had not been killed by Ma Rong, they might be in Li Fu's hands now." When He Zhaojun gave this answer, Wen Ziduan laughed instead.
"Alright, then let me meet him." He had been waiting for Li Fu to be caught in the crossfire. This group of remnants of the tyrant emperor hadn't committed any serious offense, and their rash arrest was without justification. Now, however, he had captured an official appointed by the imperial court, and there was no way he could escape.
He Zhaojun frowned, "But Uncle Cheng is still in his hands. If he uses this as a threat, what will you do?"
Suddenly, someone ran up from behind. Si Niang rushed to He Zhaojun and said, "Tell me, who holds my father in his hands... Wait, can you tell me?"
He Zhaojun quickly grabbed Shao Shang's hand and said, "Don't worry, Si Niang. I know Li Fu well enough. He wouldn't kill innocent people. Besides, Uncle Cheng is an important hostage. If he wants to use this to force us to hand over Tongniu County, he will definitely ensure Uncle Cheng's safety."
Shao Shang nodded, looked at the others, avoided Wen Ziduan, and leaned close to He Zhaojun's ear: "Last night you told me that Li Fu was deeply in love with you, right? When we rescue my father, will you come with us? If that doesn't work, there's always the honey trap."
"Even if Li Fu hates me to the core, I have to go and save Uncle Cheng." He Zhaojun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Shao Shang was so eager to save people that he even said something like the beauty trap.
She uttered an "oh" and pointed at He Zhaojun's neck: "Sister Zhaojun, it's so cold, why are there still mosquitoes biting?"
He Zhaojun coughed lightly and covered the red mark: "When you grow up, you will also be bitten by mosquitoes!"
Unexpectedly, Wen Ziduan had exceptional hearing ability and heard their conversation clearly. He gritted his teeth and said, "The Tongniu County Government Office has been completely occupied by our army, and we are searching everywhere. The only area we haven't thoroughly investigated is the area near the mine."
He Feng nodded: "After the earthquake, the roads were blocked, and the people in the mines manage themselves, so we haven't conducted a thorough inventory yet." Several people looked at each other, mounted their horses, and galloped towards the mine in the mountains.
As soon as I arrived at the mountain, I saw Li Fuzheng standing at the door of the tent from afar. Just like in Shouchun City, he was directing the rescue of injured miners. He was so busy that sweat was pouring down his face and white smoke was coming out of his head.
He was still muttering to himself, "Everyone must get well soon and continue mining. Don't be lazy!" I don't know who he was talking to.
Suddenly, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a pretty lady in an apricot-yellow robe sitting on horseback. He thought he was dazzled, but when he confirmed that it was really He Zhaojun, he hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
"Zhaojun, we meet again."
Shao Shang sat on Ling Buyi's horse, his eyes wide open, shaking his head left and right, wanting to take a closer look at what Li Fu looked like.
Ling Buyi silently stretched out his hands, covered her eyes with his, and held her in his arms to prevent her from watching the fun.
He Zhaojun dismounted and stood beside Wen Ziduan. "We came here to ask if you have any information about the two middle-aged men named Cheng Shi and Yan Zhong. They are my uncles."
Li Fu blinked and said, "I don't know, but there's a roster here. You can come in and find it yourself."
