Chapter 89 Meeting Again
Seeing the person enter the yard, Meng Jiu had no time to move away, so he hid the stones in the charcoal pile.
Xie Yuyan came forward with Zhang and others.
The leader was an official in his thirties, wearing an eighth-grade official uniform, followed by several soldiers and civil servants.
“Are you the mine owner here?”
The incident in Sanhe Village was aroused, and the land documents were also recorded in the county government. The county magistrate knew that the owner of the mine here was Mrs. Xie of the Yang family. Seeing Xie Yuyan's age, he felt that she was inseparable, so he asked .
Xie Yuyan said: "Exactly."
The county magistrate frowned slightly. For some reason, Madam Xie stood in front of him, and he felt a little uncomfortable. It was obviously him He intimidated everyone, but felt weak in his heart.
"I am the magistrate of this county. I heard that you have started mining, so I came to take a look."
Xie Yuyan said: "It has not been officially mined yet. It is just teaching the hired workers how to dig wells. .”
The county magistrate looked into the room: "Can I take a look?"
As he spoke, he had already moved forward. In the final analysis, it was just a courtesy. He was the county magistrate and took the workshop with him. People who come here have the right to ask about these things.
After letting the county magistrate into the house, Xie Yuyan saw two more people hurriedly following them. She glanced at them casually, but her eyes immediately froze, and a familiar face immediately came into view.
"The two flowers in my flower house are in bloom. Do you want to see Ayan?"
At that time, she was locked up at home, following the embroiderer to learn female beauty, and was not allowed to go out.
But the next day, he came again, secretly cut off the "Er Joe" branch and brought it to her.
For this reason, I was beaten after returning home and it took half a month before I could stand up.
"Ayan, I will go back and report to my father and ask the Xie family to marry you, so that you don't have to enter the palace."
I still remember that his eyes were full of eagerness and sadness, and then he Replaced by determination.
But there was no fluctuation in her heart. There were only pros and cons in her mind, and she never took his words to heart. When she recalled the situation that day, she realized that their weight and status in each other's hearts were very different. Far.
She would never be able to do the things he did, or even think about it.
Later...
He surrendered to Northern Qi, but she pushed him to become a false emperor and took his life.
In a trance, the figure of Wang Huai when he died appeared in front of Xie Yuyan's eyes. When she came to her senses, the two people had already walked in front of her.
She also completely saw the future people clearly.
That's not Wang Huai, it just looks like Wang Huai.
"Wang... Zhiyuan," the county magistrate's voice came, "Why are you here?"
The man named Wang Zhiyuan looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. Wearing a white shirt, he looked particularly elegant. When he saw Xie Yuyan bowing and saluting, he wanted to take a closer look at her, but he seemed to feel that it was inappropriate for the ceremony, so he couldn't help but look away.
After Xie Yuyan saw the man's face clearly, she knew his identity. He was Wang Yan's cousin Wang Zheng and Wang Huai's father.
Seeing an old friend again, Xie Yuyan inevitably recalled the past again.
In her previous life, she often went to Wang's house, and Wang Zheng and his wife treated her very well. Although Wang Zheng liked to greet Wang Huai with a stick, he always had a smile on his face every time he saw her.
When she entered the palace to compete for the throne, Wang Zheng used his connections with the Wang family to secretly help her. Only after she got the treasure in hand did she find out about this, so she found an opportunity to let people come to thank Wang Zheng, but Wang Zheng He refused to accept the money, and he didn't make any demands from her. He only left her with one sentence: being entrusted by others, it is a matter of loyalty.
Wang Zheng was seriously ill in bed and handed her a list of several people who could be used. One of them was Wei Tianshi. When she was deposed and lived in the Taoist temple, she was accepted as a disciple by Wei Tianshi, so she got a Junior brothers.
Those men Wang Zheng left for her, even if he was gone, his disciples would follow her. Until the day when the capital was captured by the Northern Qi Dynasty again, they still stayed with her, and Yang Qin was one of them.
However, until now she has not figured out who asked Wang Zheng to help her? She asked Wang Huai, but Wang Huai also knew nothing.
She didn't have the chance to ask Wang Zheng in her previous life, but now she finally got to meet her old friend, but things had changed. Even if she asked the question, she wouldn't get an answer.
Wang Zheng walked in, and Xie Yuyan and Zhang also walked in. The county magistrate stood at the edge of the mine and looked down. The people from the Yamen Workshop had already descended down the rope into the shaft to inspect the pit logs they had built.
The county magistrate was talking to Wang Zheng: "You are right when you see it. Why are you here? Is it possible that someone from the royal family is coming to Beijing?"
Wang Zheng shook his head and said: "I'm just here to meet friends."
"Who are you here to see, young man?" The county magistrate asked more questions, obviously interested.
"Tong Chen, Tong Zixu." Wang Zheng said and looked around. Seeing that there were a lot of people in the room, his eyes showed some vigilance, and then he took two steps towards Xie Yuyan.
Xie Yuyan didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Wang Zheng seemed to be blocking her face intentionally.
After a while, the people from the workshop were hoisted up.
"My lord, there is coal ore found under the shaft, and the wood of the pit is firm and strong. There is nothing wrong with it."
The county magistrate nodded and looked at Xie Yuyan: "Mining is not a trivial matter. You must pay careful attention and report any abnormalities to the government office."
Xie Yuyan responded.
The county magistrate looked at the dug coal again, reached out to pick up the broken pieces, broke off a corner and crushed it with his hands, then turned to look at Xie Yuyan: "How big do you want to open this mine?"
Xie Yuyan didn't hide it either: "After entering the village, everyone stepped on them."
The county magistrate couldn't help being startled: "That's really... not small."
Xie Yuyan nodded: "If someone who knows how to mine comes here, it will be difficult to get out. If you are willing, sir, you can come and go often, and you will be able to get familiar with the road in the future."
The county magistrate nodded subconsciously, but felt strange, he Need to come so many times?
While the two were talking, Wang Zheng leaned aside again, kicked his feet, and then walked away as if nothing had happened.
It feels quite sneaky.
Xie Yuyan couldn't help but wonder, what on earth is this Wang Zheng doing?
The county magistrate suddenly pointed to the place where thick smoke was coming out at the end of the village: "Where is that?"
Xie Yuyan said: "We have built a stove and are trying to burn charcoal."
"The mined After the coal is burned, we will know whether it is good or not. Would you like to go and have a look?"
The county magistrate wanted to refuse, but suddenly he heard the sound of blacksmithing, and he looked solemn: "Why is someone blacksmithing? ?”
Xie Yuyan said: “We want to make some utensils, so we just invite the blacksmiths over. Don’t worry, sir, these blacksmiths are on the yamen’s roster. In addition to making utensils for us, they will also do work for the yamen office. , anyway, we have a lot of coal here, so we don’t need a little fire.”
Since someone is blacksmithing, you should go and have a look.
The county magistrate walked forward, and as he got closer, he smelled thick smoke, and then a huge stove appeared in front of him.
"Why is this...stove so big?"
While the county magistrate and others were checking the stove, Xie Yuyan walked towards Wang Zheng.
"Lang Jun," Xie Yuyan suddenly said, "What did you see in the house just now?"
Wang Zheng waved his hands hurriedly: "No, nothing, I just...I actually...am..."
"Come to help?"
A few words floated into Wang Zheng's mind Ear, Wang Zheng looked at Xie Yuyan in surprise. Not many people knew that he came here. He pursued him to Sanhe Village on his own initiative. How could Mrs. Xie guess it so easily?
Xie Yuyan was about to ask a few more questions when she vaguely heard the crisp sound of bells.
That's a warning.
Someone sneaked into the village.
