Chapter 83 The First Truck of Coal (2)

Luo An immediately noticed something was wrong and quickly held Zhong Asi's hand tightly.

"What's wrong? Are you starting to feel dizzy again?"

Zhong Asi looked at the dark hole. The scarred face, the man who knocked him down with a wooden stick that day, was the first man to get into the hole.

All the painful memories came to his mind again, and he felt that feeling of tingling blood reappearing. The cheers of everyone around him seemed to have suddenly pressed the pause button, and nothing could be heard.

He could only see red, and his eyes were filled with the color of blood. He felt that the world was no longer real, and the illusion was being pulled and twisted.

Dizziness, as if the whole world is turning upside down.

Luo An glanced at the distance. Jiajing watched those who were absent from work and went down to the cave. He was about to follow Li Fang to see the living environment of those workers. Around the two of them, there were at least a hundred royal guards wearing common people's clothes.

They are separated from other people around them.

There seemed to be nothing unusual, so he turned back and supported Zhong Asi: "Sit down and rest. Aren't you feeling much better recently? Why did you suddenly get sick again?"

Seeing Zhong Ahsi shaking his head in pain, he had no intention of speaking.

"Did you see something?"

When he asked this question, he almost immediately thought of the reason for Zhong Asi's illness. This was what he was originally going to investigate, but he delayed it because the emperor suddenly asked him to clean up those people who were eating free money.

Come down.

"Were they the ones who directly attacked the brothers that day? Did you see them?"

Zhong Ahsi hugged his knees even more painfully and huddled on the ground like a frightened pangolin.

Seeing him like this confirmed his suspicion.

Luo An glanced at Jiajing and Li Fang again. They were standing in front of a row of temporary wooden houses. Li Fang was pointing and introducing something. Jiajing would occasionally ask a few questions, and someone next to him would start enthusiastically.

explain.

It can be seen that the emperor seems to be very satisfied with the result of that explanation.

It must be safe there, because he had already checked those houses countless times before the emperor came, and now in each house, there was a subordinate he absolutely trusted among the workers.

Those people were all brought by him from Prince Xing's Mansion, brothers who had followed him for at least ten years, and some of them had even been in Prince Xing's Mansion since the time of his father Luo Sheng.

These people are absolutely loyal to the emperor and will never have any problems.

After confirming the emperor's safety again, he took a leather bag from the subordinate next to him, removed the stopper and put it into Zhong Asi's mouth.

Wine is the blood of these heroes, wine is the courage of these warriors.

After taking a few sips of wine, the color returned to Zhong Ahsi's face again. As beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, the tremors all over his body began to calm down.

Luo An took the opportunity to ask again: "Which ones are there? Point them out and leave the rest to me."

Zhong Asi stared at Luo An's familiar yet unfamiliar face. What did he see on that face?

I saw anger, I saw murderous intent, I saw blood, more blood...

The kindness of his nature made him start to feel fear. If it was for the country and the emperor, he could kill or die.

But not this time. This time, whether it was his brothers who were killed, or the border soldiers who killed people, the current workers of the Daimyo Heavy Industry Group, they were all just like me, just ordinary people trying to survive.

He even thought like a saint, that person was just trying to fight for the rights that should belong to them for his brothers.

"Brother Luo, we can't kill anymore. Four of our brothers have died. You have also killed six of the chief envoys. Counting the waiter, you have killed seven... Eleven people have died. We can't kill any more."

Got it!"

Luo An's grip on the handle of the knife loosened. He firmly grasped Zhong Ahsi's shoulders and pressed his thumbs into his shoulder sockets.

Among the brothers who died, who was not as kind as Zhong Asi? Even if he was hurt, he would instinctively stand in the other person's position and think of so many reasons for the other person.

But it is precisely because of so many kind people that someone must stand up and bear all the sins alone, seek justice for them, and protect their precious kindness.

If those who cause bleeding must go to hell after death, and kind people will definitely have bliss after death.

Then, you will be the one who goes to hell!

"I won't kill them, but they must pay for what they have done!"

Luo An finally chose to give in. He couldn't accept it. Some of the dead brothers paid a corresponding price, but what about those who were injured?

Could it be that those who were injured only came from the emperor's great kindness? Those who caused their injuries still lived happily in this world, leaving only the pain of body and soul to others?

After being urged many times by Luo An, Zhong Asi finally raised his head and looked at the crowd below, looking for some familiar faces.

Luo An followed his gaze and saw that the emperor had now returned to the entrance of the cave and was waiting. The firewood had been piled up in the middle of the open space. He was just waiting for the first cart of coal to be transported. The emperor personally held the torch to light this event.

Even if it's over.

"The person who took the lead in forcing Zhang Qiang off the roof that day was the one standing next to the firewood pile."

Luo An stared intently at the man who was placing the pyre. His face was full of happiness, especially his two yellowed front teeth. He remembered all the obvious features on that face.

.

"There are five more people who attacked the wooden wall..." Zhong Asi was still hesitating whether to tell Luo An about those people.

At this moment, Luo An keenly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene. His eyes immediately narrowed to a slit, and he nervously checked for any flaws again.

The sound at the scene suddenly became much quieter, and it felt like a worried look began to appear on everyone's face.

Even Li Fang, who had always been calm, kept secretly glancing at the dripper standing at the entrance of the mine over and over again.

problem occurs!

Luo An immediately made a judgment, handed Zhong Asi to the Jin Yiwei next to him, and ran towards Jiajing quickly.

No matter what happened, he didn't care. He only cared about one thing, and that was Jiajing's safety.

There are too many people here, and no matter what happens, it can easily trigger a larger-scale riot.

"What happened?" Luo An ran to Jiajing's side as quickly as possible and asked immediately.

"According to the scheduled time, the first car of coal should have arrived long ago!" Li Fang stared worriedly at the still quiet and dark entrance of the cave.

"You, go down and see what's going on!" Luo An pointed at the nearest guard dressed as a miner and ordered.

"I'll go!" The man with two yellow front teeth came over, "I know the situation here better than he does!"

As the man spoke, he had already taken a rattan hat from the side and put it on his head, and walked straight into the dark mine.

Everyone's hearts were in suspense as he entered, but as soon as the man disappeared into the darkness, he immediately turned back.

"Water is filling! Water is filling under the cave, I heard the sound of water!"
