Yue Qianli and Gu Chenfeng were talking intently when Jiang Ling interrupted them. The two were speechless and didn't believe him when he said he didn't mean it.
"By the way, Gu Chenfeng, please help Yue Qianli get a handy sword!"
Gu Chenfeng was speechless. This was not a big deal. He had plenty of swords, and they could choose for themselves when the time came.
However, he thought about the martial arts conference in a month, which would include a sword appreciation event. They would ask people from all sects to come and appreciate the swords, exchange blows, and choose the sword that matched their own.
But let’s keep it secret for now!
So, he agreed generously: "It's a small matter, no problem."
After getting Gu Chenfeng's promise, Jiang Ling took Xiaozaizai and Jiang Hao to Shen Yinyun to watch them make beggar's chicken.
Seeing the two children approaching, Shen Yinyun asked, "Why are you here? Have you finished discussing the matter?"
"I've negotiated the terms. As for how to acquire the iron ore, that's their business. Everyone needs to have something to do, otherwise they'll become useless."
Shen Yinyun was stunned for a moment, "Okay, okay, you just want to say that I'm a waste."
Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow, "Not yet, soon!"
"you……"
Shen Yinyun didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. He was a vicious person and would pick on him whenever he got the chance.
"Okay, take the two kids out to play and don't disturb me while I'm making beggar's chicken." He quickly pushed the man away.
"Hehehe, you are busy, we are waiting to eat delicious food!" After saying that, he took the two children to another place, just like he was on patrol, which was super boring.
And, under the guidance of the blood-sucking vine, Gu Chenfeng and Yue Qianli went to take another look at the iron mine in the mountains.
They carefully concealed their breath and sneaked into the cave.
The scene before them shocked them. They saw hundreds of miners working hard, and a dozen supervisors watching these miners with ferocious looks.
Whenever someone paused for a moment, the supervisors would immediately raise their whips and beat them hard.
Yue Qianli witnessed this scene, frowned, and a feeling of anger surged in his heart.
Without hesitation, he swung his palm and knocked the supervisor to the ground, where he died in agony.
Gu Chenfeng never expected that Yue Qianli would be so impatient. It seemed that Yue Qianli could not tolerate the people being enslaved and he just started killing people.
Then, without thinking too much, he quickly drew out the soft sword from his waist and killed all the dozen or so supervisors in the mine one by one, as fast as the wind.
The miners were so frightened that they gathered together, huddled together, and looked at them in horror.
They didn't know the identities of these two people or why they suddenly broke in and killed the overseer.
Will they be the next to be killed?
They don't want to die yet because their parents and children are waiting for them to return home.
In an instant, fear enveloped the entire cave and the atmosphere was suffocatingly tense.
After killing the man, Gu Chenfeng tied the soft sword back to his waist.
He looked at them with a smile and said loudly: "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people. We just passed by here and found this place accidentally." Hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others became more nervous.
Looking at their expressions, Gu Chenfeng was speechless. It was the first time for him to scare people.
They are both handsome, how could they be bad guys?
Then he said gently, "What I said is true. Whether you believe it or not, you can go down the mountain and go home now."
Hearing that they could go home, a stronger man tried to stand up and asked, "Is what the two benefactors said true? Can we all go home now?"
"Yes, everyone can go home." Yue Qianli took over his words.
"You're all from nearby villages? I don't think we need to send you back, right?"
"No, no, thank you both!"
The man quickly said that he would definitely not let strangers go to their village. Previously, people from the county town came to their village to recruit workers, and they were deceived into coming here to mine.
For more than two months, he had been mining in the mountains without seeing the sun every day. He didn't have enough to eat, didn't sleep well, and was beaten and scolded. If he was caught trying to escape, his legs or arms would be broken. He even saw someone being beaten to death and thrown into the mountains.
He also thought about escaping with his brothers.
However, I overheard a supervisor say that these people were all registered with the county, and if they didn't mine properly, their family members would do it instead.
After hearing this, a group of men accepted their fate. No matter how hard it was, they would not let their wives and parents suffer this.
Thinking of this, he suddenly saw the two saviors in front of him. Since he could kill the people here, he must have a way to deal with the people in the county, right?
Then, he suddenly knelt in front of Yue Qianli and the others and pleaded, "Two heroes, please save the villagers. We can't leave. Once we leave, the villagers will be brought here to continue mining."
The two looked at each other, and Gu Chenfeng said doubtfully: "Okay, tell me what happened?"
Hearing that they agreed to save people, the man quickly told them what he had heard. After hearing it, the other people who didn't know the story burst into tears. In order to make a living, they went out to work, but they didn't expect that their family would be threatened and monitored.
This crooked official is so cruel and evil.
They really have it so hard because the land in the village can't grow much food, so they have no idea where to eat next.
So, the men in the family went out to find a job, but they didn't expect that the recruiter who came to recruit workers was a liar. He asked them to mine for free and only gave them steamed buns. They were not full and had no energy to mine. Some of them were even exhausted to death.
There were originally nearly 200 people, but now there are only more than 100 left, and each one of them is skinny.
After hearing what the man and others said, Yue Qianli and Gu Chenfeng were very angry.
Especially Gu Chenfeng, he hates bosses who hire workers but don’t pay them the most. The workers in his family are paid a lot of money every month.
We are all human beings, so why should we work for others for free? He looks down on such businessmen.
"Everyone, get up. Let's go out first!" After saying that, he took the lead and walked in front, followed by a group of dark people with their heads down.
After everyone left, Yue Qianli saw a large pile of iron ore nearby. He walked into the innermost area where they were being excavated and took a look. He felt that this vein of ore could be mined for at least another year.
I thought to myself, I will let Jiang Ling collect these later.
The unmined iron ore will be arranged by Gu Chenfeng, after all, he is a professional.
So, he patted the blood-thirsty vine and said, "Xiaoxue, tell Jiang Ling to come to the mine and move away what he has mined."
After listening, the blood-sucking vine shook twice to indicate that it understood.
Sure enough, Jiang Ling, who was taking care of the children, suddenly received the message from the blood-sucking vine and handed the two children to Shen Yinyun, who was waiting for the beggar's chicken to be cooked.
