Hearing these two words, Boss Wang was stunned for a moment, then cleared his throat.
"The capital? That's a great place, full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. However, since you've come to Yilan County, you have to stay coiled up like a dragon and crouch down like a tiger. Only by doing your job well can you have a chance to leave here."
After leaving these words, he glanced at Leng Yu again and waved to the officer behind him.
"Arrange for them to stay first, and start working early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Lord Wang."
After receiving the order, the officer waved the sword in his hand and drove them away:
"Hurry up, don't dawdle here."
Leng Yu and the other three were driven out of the room by the officers and walked outside.
After a while, they were taken to a room guarded by several guards and with two large bunk beds.
The officer pointed to an empty shop in the corner.
"That place is perfect for the four of you. You can have dinner after everyone else gets off work. Then go to bed early. Someone will wake you up at 3:00 AM tomorrow."
Hearing this, the scholar couldn't help asking:
"Yinshi? That's too early. I guess it's still dark."
The officer looked at him impatiently.
"Stop talking nonsense. Not making you work all night is already a privilege."
After leaving these words behind, the officers went out cursing.
Leng Yu glanced here and couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his nose.
The two large bunk beds were piled with tattered bedding and clothes, and the room was filled with all kinds of strange smells.
The scholar pushed him.
"Brother Liu, stop looking and make the bed!"
As he spoke, he called out to the other two people,
"Big guy, thin guy, leave the side seats for Brother Liu Si. You can sleep over there. You smell, and Brother Liu Si can't stand it."
The big guy hesitated for a moment and gave up his seat to the side, but the thin guy didn't care at all.
"Now that we've come this far, who cares about status? We all have to go to the mines to work tomorrow."
Leng Yu nodded and smiled gratefully at the scholar. The scholar began to bustle around helping him make the bed, and he walked around the room.
He was now certain that this mine was related to the county government, to Boss Wang, and to Sister Feng, but none of them were the real masterminds behind the scenes.
Fengjie claimed that she and the Queen were as close as sisters. It was obvious that she was lying, but her lies would not be groundless. Behind her, there must be someone who had connections with the Queen or the court.
The most important thing now is to find out who is the mastermind behind this.
Thinking of this, he held his chin with one hand and pondered carefully.
…
Xiangyue Tower
Because of the championship meeting today, Xiangyue Tower is extremely lively.
Luo Lan specifically asked for a red long dress and a red veil to cover her face, giving people a mysterious feeling.
While Ah Cai was dressing her, she gently reminded her,
"My Lady, put this dagger in your sleeve. If anyone dares to touch you later, don't be polite to them."
Luo Lan looked at himself in the bronze mirror and smiled softly.
"This short knife is so much of a hindrance. My silver needles are more effective. Oh, and Ah Hong and the others should be here soon. You must make sure they find a way to come see me."
"I see."
At this moment, the door creaked open and a girl walked in.
"Miss Lan Meng, Sister Feng wants you to leave."
Luo Lan nodded solemnly, then tied the veil, held the long ribbon, and walked out the door.
At this time, Sister Feng was waving to the men below.
"Everyone, don't worry. Today's championship competition will begin soon. Before we start, please ask our new Miss Lan Meng from Xiangyue Tower to play a piece of music to liven up the atmosphere. Is that okay?"
When they heard this name, Ayu and Ahong, who was dressed as a man, who were standing in the audience, became nervous.
It turned out that after leaving the crowd, Ah Hou did not go back directly, but followed them to the Heavenly Prison.
When Leng Yu was taken away from the Heavenly Prison, he was about to rescue her, but was stopped by Leng Yu, who signaled him to protect the queen.
So, Ahou waited outside the sky prison until he saw Luo Lan being taken to the backyard of Xiangyue Tower. Then he went back to discuss countermeasures with Ayu and Ahong.
It happened that they heard that there would be an Oiran convention at Xiangyue Tower tonight. In order to avoid being recognized, Ah Hou stayed at home waiting for news, while Ah Hong and Ah Yuhua bought admission tickets at a high price to get in.
When they heard the name Lan Meng, they knew that this must be the Queen.
The fact was just as they expected. When Sister Feng finished her announcement, Luo Lan descended from the sky with a red silk in hand. The men present all held their breath and looked at her carefully with their eyes wide open, wanting to see the peerless beauty of this Miss Lan Meng.
But to everyone's disappointment, her face was covered with a mysterious veil, but her lively eyes still made countless men fall in love with her.
Ah Hong lowered her voice and whispered softly in Ah Yu's ear:
"It's her. I'll have to find a way to meet her later no matter what."
"I know, Ah Cai is over there, go over and take a look."
After nodding, Ah Hong squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards Ah Cai, who was standing with her legs crossed and looking into the crowd.
She came to her, cleared her throat, raised her hand and held her.
"Are you looking for me, girl?"
Just as Ah Cai was about to get angry, she saw Ah Hong winking at her. She immediately pursed her lips and nodded shyly.
Seeing this, Ah Hong came forward and hugged her, pretending to touch her all over and whispered:
"What does the Queen say?"
"Find a way to meet her alone. She has something to tell you."
