Liu Yan scolded loudly: "Miss Hua, don't think that you can rely on Magistrate Ye to support you and you can't be ignorant of the sky and the earth."
"Yes or no, we only need to send people to the area along the river to investigate carefully. Why should Admiral Liu try to stop him in every possible way?"
Hua Rujin pointed her finger directly at the Jiang Fang garrison.
"How can you and others be able to trespass into the residence of our school captain's residence at will?"
Liu Yan's face was ashen: "Come here, take down this cunning woman who is inciting trouble immediately."
"If the Admiral wants to go against the will of heaven today, then he will be imprisoned together with this county."
Ye Chengguan drew his sword and faced him, looking straight at the past like a blade: "Otherwise, please give way, the admiral, and allow my subordinates to thoroughly investigate this case."
"Zhixian Ye, do you think this general really doesn't dare to question you?"
Liu Yan did not give in, and finally broke up with him: "You have committed a serious crime by blocking the sacrificial ceremony. Even if Japan is going to capture you today, what can you do?"
Just at this time, the old beggar slowly walked out of the crowd and said calmly: "Liu Yan, you really don't know how to live or die. The number one scholar was sent to Jiangling City. Others don't know the reason. You, who have been in Beijing all year round,
Do the old people hanging around also want to pretend to be stupid?"
When Liu Yan heard the reputation, he saw an old man in rags. He didn't take it seriously at first, but after careful identification, his face suddenly turned pale and he hesitated: "Mr. Wei Wei, you... why are you here?
"
"You don't need to ask why I am here."
The old beggar showed displeasure: "My disciple has explained the whole story in great detail. No matter whether the person behind this is the current His Royal Highness Prince Yun or Prefect Wen, you should know that the law will not tolerate mercy. There have been three cases.
Thousands of people have lost their lives, do you still want to let those innocent people in the temple suffer?"
"Mr. Wei, I don't know the reason for this, but I was ordered to station here. I don't dare to let Magistrate Ye rush into the Jiangfang forbidden area without orders."
The bitterness on Liu Yan's face became even stronger.
Even if he dared to offend the officials, he would not dare to offend the person in front of him.
The Wei family is the head of the current imperial family. The eldest sister of him and the first assistant is the empress dowager of the current dynasty, and the first assistant's wife is the most favored eldest princess of the Daye Dynasty.
Hearing Liu Yan call the old beggar Wei Lao, Wen Yuming became extremely cautious and asked respectfully: "Excuse me for being presumptuous, but I don't know who this old man is?"
"Ahem, I can't take it seriously."
The old beggar spread his hands with a smile: "No more pretending, I am the old beggar who is as famous as the old immortal chief minister in the court, Wei Shuhan, the most shameless litigant in the Daye Dynasty."
Upon hearing Wei Shuhan's name, everyone was immediately in awe.
Ye Chengguan's face was also shocked: "I didn't expect it to be my uncle. The master and his wife have been talking about him for many years, but they never knew about him. They never thought that he was hiding in Jiangling City incognito."
At this time, Hua Rujin finally figured out the identity of the old beggar.
It turns out that he is actually the younger brother of Lord Chief Assistant. No wonder he knows so many things.
Thinking about how many times he had teased her before, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed for a moment, and rolled her eyes at him angrily.
My aunt, if I had known that I had such a great backer, I would have begged him to be my teacher. Why would I spend my whole day trying to please the number one scholar?
Wei Shuhan could see the unhappiness in his disciple's heart, but he couldn't explain much to her at the moment. He turned to Liu Yan and said solemnly: "I don't care whether you want to make peace or have a big fight today.
But there is one thing, Liu Yan, if you dare to touch a hair of my disciple, you may not be able to return to Jinling City."
"this"
Both Liu Yan and Wen Yuming's faces became extremely embarrassed.
The county magistrate Tang Haoran stood aside and said: "Mr. Wei, even if you are in a high and powerful position, you should not let Miss Zhuhua and County Magistrate Ye do what they want."
"It is said that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Now all doubts point to the Jiangfang garrison. The two of them have reasonable grounds and want to go to investigate. How can it be considered nonsense?"
Wei Shuhan asked back: "Tang Haoran, you are a small county magistrate, how dare you incite trouble here?"
"I don't dare, my subordinates."
Tang Haoran quickly lowered his head angrily.
Liu Yan became in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
However, Wen Yuming had an idea in his mind: "This matter is not a trivial matter. Why don't we report it to Your Majesty immediately and let Your Majesty make a decision?"
"absurd."
Wei Shuhan scolded: "Your Majesty, you want to know how you can tolerate such nonsense when you are so disrespectful of human life. Could it be that you want to delay the destruction of corpses and eliminate traces of them?"
"Mr. Wei was joking."
Wen Yuming was rendered speechless by his scolding.
Ye Chengguan knew that he had to make a decisive decision at this time, and brought the sword in his hand closer: "Admiral, do you really want to delay time as Mr. Wei said?"
"Stop spitting blood."
Liu Yan's expression changed, and he glared at him with gritted teeth: "Master Ye, I can let you settle in the place, but what if you can't find out the truth?"
Ye Chengguan silently glanced at Hua Rujin, firmly took out the official seal from his arms and threw it into his hand: "I will take the blame and resign."
"good."
Liu Yan waved heavily to the sergeants: "Make way."
Ye Chengguan then took back his sword and led the officers to rush to the Jiangfang garrison.
Hua Rujin felt a sudden warmth in her heart. She thought he was going to give up her choice, but she never expected that he would believe her and bet on her future.
In this way, I couldn't live up to his hard work no matter what, so I followed him closely.
Wei Shuhan was worried that these people would take the opportunity to cause trouble, so he whispered to Shu Jinxuan, who was still in a dazed state: "Second Young Master Shu, you don't have to go. You can stay with the old beggar while I'm here to monitor these officials."
Shu Jinxuan stared in confusion at the old man in front of him who once begged for money from him. He didn't know what he was hiding behind his cousin.
He hesitated to speak several times, looking at the leaving figures of his cousin and Ye Chengguan, he could only nod silently.
After successfully arriving at Jiangfang Station, Hua Rujin observed the surrounding scenery by herself. Now more than ten years have passed, and even if there was a mining disaster, it has probably been filled up long ago.
But there are ways to find out where the mineral deposits are.
Looking at the confused Zhuangyuanlang, Hua Rujin changed her lazy tone towards him these past two days and said respectfully:
"For coal vein collectors, it is easy to observe the color of the soil, look for black seedlings, and search for veins from outcrops. These scattered surface coal seams will burn once they come into contact with a fire source. As long as we find a mine, we can
I hope we can find other mines."
"So, I'm afraid the task is too heavy."
Ye Chengguan shook his head disapprovingly.
"But there are still nearly 700 corpses hidden underground and never seen the light of day. If we can't do our best to find them, how can their families feel at ease?"
Hua Rujin replied hesitantly: "Maybe we can find ways to find leaks in coal mines underwater, but I'm afraid it won't be possible to ensure everyone's safety."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'll go."
Lu Xiuyuan felt that he had wrongly blamed Miss Hua again this time, so he volunteered: "I will immediately call all the young men in the county who are good at water to join me in the water."
Ye Chengguan nodded solemnly: "Go ahead and be careful."
