The Favoured Medical Princess

"Tap to tap..."

In a remote and desolate town, seven or eight people dressed as guards rode a tall horse and hugged a young man into the town. This kind of scene is so rare for such a remote town, it attracts all of a sudden. Many nearby townspeople looked curiously, speculating in their hearts that this nobleman did not know where it came from.

Zhou Dacheng caught a horse's belly and made the horse under the crotch a few steps faster. Nangong Yue, who was behind a cyan men's clothing, was half a horse. He said: "Shi...Son, go along this road one more mile There is more than a post." The one hundred soldiers they took on the trip were temporarily stationed three or four miles away from the town's mouth. If there was any movement, they could also send out signal flares in time to recruit people.

Nangong Yue nodded while looking at the surrounding environment.

This small town is sparsely populated. It seems that the houses and streets around it have not been repaired for many years. The passers-by walking along the way looked thin and yellow, and the clothes were mostly patched. This is obviously a poor town.

Nangong Yue raised his eyebrows. According to Zhou Dacheng, the size of the mine on Mount Sigran was not small.Generally speaking, such mines will recruit miners from the nearest villages and towns. The people in these villages and villages will make a living and their lives will be better, but here...

Suddenly, there was a commotion in a house dozens of feet ahead, and several big men were dragging a skinny teenager out of a room.

The young boy cried out into the room with hoarse, "Daddy! Mother!"

Immediately afterwards, a couple in their thirties walked out of each other, and beside them, a thin boy followed. The boy cried pitifully: "Brother! Don't arrest him!"

Nangong Yue and the others could not help but stopped and looked in that direction.

Zhou Dacheng frowned slightly, there is no Wang Fa here, in the light of day, even dare someone to grab someone on the street!

Zhou Dacheng glanced at Nangong Yue and was about to step forward, but he saw the man in the couple take a step forward and pleaded with red eyes at the burly men: "I regret it! I returned the money to you , A few uncles, please don’t take away my leftovers!”

One of the strong men sneered contemptuously, took out a dense piece of paper from his arms, and said disdainfully: "But you signed this contract of sale, did you see it clearly? This is a death contract! Signed the death contract, and want to repent?!" He said that he deliberately looked around, and said loudly, "The death contract is here, even if we go to the government, we are reasonable!"

Zhou Dacheng didn't step forward again, the other party was right. Since he had signed the deed of death, it wouldn't be the government's right to interfere.

The woman burst into tears with excitement: "Dog left! My dog ​​left!"

A few burly giants simply disregarded the poor couple and dragged the boy named Gouzao away arbitrarily.

"Hey--"

A long sigh came from the roadside, and I saw a gray-haired old lady sighing and shaking her head: "This family is too unthinkable! Even if the family is poor... How can you sell people to that kind of place?! , I don’t know how to die!"

Nangong Yue's eyebrows moved, could this aunt know what?

She gave Bai Hui, who also dressed as a man, a glance. Bai Hui immediately understood that she turned over and dismounted, and quickly walked to the old lady, and asked, "Auntie, do you know what these people are? what?"

The old lady looked at Bai Hui as if she were dressed up, and then looked at the accompanying guards, knowing that this group of people might be rich or expensive, but after all, they are foreigners, and noble and noble, but the masters of the gang.

The old lady hesitated for a moment, but still kindly reminded: "That is from the Fangjia Mine. I often come to our town to buy people to go to the mine to work as miners, and I still sign a death contract. Avoid them and order."

Nangong Yue, who was two or three feet away, naturally heard it, frowned slightly, but said nothing.

The group continued on, and after a cup of tea, they arrived at the post in the town.

In such small towns, post offices rarely receive passing officials or messengers on weekdays, and they are empty inside.

When Yi Cheng saw Zhou Dacheng showing the post office ticket of the King's Mansion in Zhennan, he was almost shocked, and he couldn't understand how he would suddenly have such a big man come to their backcountry.

There are also few rooms in the post, and the postman ordered a room to go to Nang Yue Yue, and a few rooms to the accompanying guards.

After the incense stick, there were more people in Nangong Yue's room. In addition to Zhou Dacheng, two shadowy shadow guards Xiao Ying and Xiao An were also called.

Nangong Yue looked around the crowd, her eyes fell on Xiao Ying, and she said, "Xiao Ying!"

"The subordinates are there." Xiao Ying put away the casualness of his usual days and responded with a fist in a respectful manner.

"I'm afraid this time I'm going to let you go to the mine." Nangong Yue narrowed his eyes, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

Before coming, she guessed that there was a problem with the mine here. Today's scene made her more sure of the guess in her heart.The general mines and the surrounding villages and towns are mutually beneficial. Most of them will hire miners. After all, mining is hard work. It can be replaced by young and powerful miners in a few years. It is much cheaper than buying a personal contract. many.

Unless... there is nothing invisible in this mine!

Also, from the old lady’s words just now, it’s even more obvious that the mine is a lot of dead inexplicably...

If you want to investigate the truth, you can only explore Tiger's Den.

The situation at the mine site is unknown, and this time the task is naturally at a certain risk. Nangong Yue thought about it, or decided to let Xiao Ying go to explore it.

At this time, Nangong Yue couldn't help but feel fortunate. Fortunately, she left her grandfather, sister Xia and Thrush in the station of Hehe Town before they detoured to Sigran Mountain.

Xiao Ying heard the words, and as soon as his eyes lit up, he immediately understood Nangong Yue's implication, and said excitedly, "Concubine Shizi, are you letting your subordinates sell themselves?" The excitement in his eyes and tone could not be concealed. Some can't wait."This is a good idea. My subordinates haven't tried selling his burial father yet!" As he said, his thief's eyes turned to Xiao An, and Xiao An's heart sank, his face black as the bottom of the pot...

Xiao Ying and Xiao Yin quickly came and went with a few eyes. Nangong Yue was originally feeling a little heavy, amused by the two, and even the atmosphere in the room was much lighter...

Xiao Ying and Xiao An quickly retreated silently.

The room was quiet for a while. Nangong Yue took the tea cup and took a sip and put it down. The eyes were slightly dark, and he slowly said meaningfully, "The county will be here next time."

Nangong Yue's words just fell, and there was a footstep in the corridor outside, following Ren Zi's south into the house and saying: "Son, Wang Xiancheng has already arrived. Just arrived downstairs, will you bring it now?"

What a coincidence, Nangong Yue responded.

Soon, Ren Zinan came hurriedly with a middle-aged man wearing a county official's robe. The county was already sweating and he couldn't hide the tension.

The tokens of the southern palace of the town have been sent to the county government. No matter what else the county’s hand has, he has to put it down temporarily and hurriedly arrived in a horse-drawn carriage. The highest officials I've ever seen are nothing more than Zhixian in the neighboring town, where have you seen the nobles from the royal palace!

"Master Wang, please here!"

Ren Zinan politely invited the other party into the house, but Wang Xiancheng stayed outside for a moment, wiping the sweat on his forehead, before crossing the threshold with his robe.

There were four people in the room, the most striking of which was a young son who appeared to be fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing a blue robe and was sitting at a mahogany round table. Two young handsome men stood behind him. The little guys are all on standby.

The young man inadvertently took a sip of tea, frowned, and put aside in disgust, and said angrily: "What kind of tea is this! Is it a human drink?"

One of the little guys took a quick step forward and said respectfully, "Son, that younger one, let him have a pot of Pu'er tea we brought this time?"

The young son waved his hand, and the little man went out immediately, just crossing the Wangxian Cheng who entered the house, and the young son didn't even look at Wangxian Cheng.

Wang Xiancheng looked at the last person in the room quietly. It was a tall middle-aged man. The man was in his forties and had a black face. Judging from his powerful body, he looked like an army. The military commander in China, I am afraid it is still field-tested, but such a figure, only standing in front of this young son.

This black-faced face is naturally Zhou Dacheng. He clenched his fists at the Wangxian Cheng and then introduced: "Master Wang, this is our son." He deliberately said something unclear.

"Have seen the son."

Wang County was busy and respectful as a salute, speculating in his heart: since he is holding the token of Zhennan Wangfu, it must be the person of Wangfu.I heard that Shi Ziye is still fighting in Yanding City, so there are not many who can be called sons.As far as he knew, in addition to his second son Xiao Luan, Wang Ye also had several nephews, and he didn't know which one came today.

"Exempt from courtesy," Nangong Yue said casually, without the intention of asking the other person to sit down.

Naturally, Wang Xiancheng did not dare to whisper, and asked diligently: "I don't know if my son is looking for an official, but what can I do?"

Nangong Yue shook the folding fan in her hand and opened the door to ask: "Master Wang, is there a mine on the West Grand Mountain next to your town?"

Wang Xiancheng was stunned, but did not expect the other party to come to the Fangjia mine.But the mine is the property of the Fang family, the property of the grandfather of the prince and the grandfather of Xiao Ergong. If the coming person is Xiao Ergong, why not ask him as an outsider...

Wang Xiancheng had some doubts in his heart, but he still replied: "Son, the mine in West Grande is a mine of Fangjia, which specializes in the production of iron ore. Fangjia's miners are responsible for mining. I don’t know much about it.” Wang Fangcheng of course knew about the fact that the people of this family bought some young men and women in the town to sign a death contract. How dare he say anything?Moreover, in this matter, the government can't really intervene. That piece of death contract is equivalent to buying a cheap life.

Nangong Yue seems to be a smile, not missing the hesitation that flickered on the face of Wangxian County, but he didn't take it seriously, and said: "Master Wang, this son comes to Mount Segrand this time, is his father... "Speaking of this, she coughed cough consciously and changed her mouth, "I ordered the iron ore to purchase the iron ore. The military service is in a hurry, and you can't delay it. Call the person in charge of the Fangjia mine!"

Of course, Wang Xiancheng also heard what Nangong Yue said, and there was a turbulent wave in his heart, "It's Bongfu..." Does the other party want to say "It's Bongfuwang's order"?Well, it is no doubt that the other party is Prince Xiao's second son!It is impossible that the second son wanted to make a merit in front of the prince to show his performance, so he didn't go through the Fang family and came here so rampantly...

Wang Xian Cheng Yue thinks that this is the case, thinking of the wind about the second son Xiao that came from the battle with Baiyue last year, he thought he was the truth.

Seeing that Wang Xiancheng's face had changed a lot, Lily behind Nangong Yue almost didn't laugh, secretly tearing sympathy for Xiao Luan, who was far away in Luoyue City.

Wang Xiancheng did not dare to neglect, wiped the sweat on his forehead again, and hurriedly said: "...Son son, please wait a moment, then the officer will send someone to pass on."

After Wang Xiancheng saluted, he went downstairs temporarily and sent someone to Fangjia Mine to find someone.This is a matter between the Wang Family and the Fang Family. Wang Xiancheng really didn't want to mix it up. If he waited for the Fang Family's Deng to come, he could retire himself.

Wang Xiancheng walked anxiously in the lobby of the post. Unexpectedly, he hadn't waited for Deng's management to come to Fang's house. He saw that Mr. Xiao came with a group of followers to the basement.

"Master," Wang Xiancheng hurried forward, "You are..."

Nangong Yue caressed her sleeves and said, "My son is upset, go out and walk around first. When the Fang family comes, you can let him wait for the son here." He said for granted .

Wang Xiancheng secretly complained: I heard that the second son of Xiao was ridiculous, and originally thought that like the previous rumours of the princes, nine out of ten sentences are exaggerated. I did not expect that this young son of Xiao was really not grown up. Brother of the son.

Wang Xiancheng had to say, "Son, then let the officials walk around with you, please?"

Nangong Yue was undecided and left on her own. Wang Xiancheng quickly followed.

Everyone surrounded Nangong Yue as a star-studded moon and walked aimlessly everywhere. Nangong Yue walked and complained to Wangxian Cheng from time to time: "Master Wang, your town is too boring, right? There is no restaurant, No temple fairs, no snack shops, no sellers on the road..."

Wang Xiancheng can only helplessly laugh.

At this time, there was a noise in front of me, and I saw a few people around the road, whispering, I don’t know what to watch...

"Huh?" Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows and said to Lily, "Xiaohe, let's see what happened there?"

"Yes."

Lily led his way, flexed into the crowd flexibly, and then swiftly came out again, lowering his eyebrows and coming back to ask: "Son, someone is there to sell his body to bury his brother." Lily thought of everything he saw just now. He grinned hard and stiffened.

"Sell my body and bury my brother?!" Nangong Yue struck her palm with a fan handle with interest, and her eyes gleamed, "That son may be determined to go over and see which lady..." said, she had already strode Walk in the direction of crowding.

"Public..." Bai Hui deliberately made a stop-and-talk expression, and endured even harder.

Wang Xiancheng also hurriedly followed, and gave the two government officials a look.

The two bureaucrats quickly stepped forward to open the way for Nangong Yue, and those people who saw the official mission were naturally evasive and inadequate.

In the center of the crowd, I saw three burly giants standing in front of a straw mat. The tallest and strongest man in the middle waved his arms and said loudly, "I bought it!" The people looked around, "My Lord Tiger bought it!" The tone seemed to say who would dare to grab someone from Uncle Ben!?

Those people fearing to offend this group of people, and dared not watch the crowd, all scattered.The vision in front was also clearer, and Wang Xiancheng saw the person who claimed to be the tiger master, frowning, lest the second son Xiao would be at odds with the other party.

A man lying on the straw mat in front of the three great men was covered with a large gray sackcloth. The sackcloth outlined the body and made people look shudder.

On the back of the straw mat, a ragged young man was kneeling, his hair was a little messy, and his cheeks were covered with a lot of ash, but he could still see that it should be less than twenty.

The tiger tiger nodded in satisfaction, and Nangong Yue sneered indifferently: "My son thought he was a pink lady who sold her to bury his brother, why is it a stinky man! It's boring! It's boring!"

That Tiger Master also saw Wang Xiancheng beside Nangong Yue, and was originally worried that this young son, who didn't know where he would come from, would rob him of him, and now he was finally at ease.

Fearing that the slow changes, he hurriedly raised his hand, and the attendant beside him quickly handed a piece of paper into his hand.

Lord Tiger crouched down and said strongly to the youth: "Aren't you going to sell yourself to bury your brother? Hurry up and draw?"

The young man hesitantly looked at the written contract, and asked, "I don't know how many years I will sign? Can I give..."

Before he finished speaking, Lord Tiger said impatiently: "Why do you ask so much? Uncle Ben can help you bury your brother!"

While speaking, his followers gave him fingerprints while the youth did not pay attention.

These people seem to be well-trained, or rather, used to doing it on weekdays.A moment later, a carriage drove over, and behind the carriage was a huge wooden cage, which contained five or six men, and the young man was rudely locked in.

The young man was shoved and pushed forward while yelling: "My brother...I have to bury my brother too!"

Lord Tiger said: "Relax, since you signed the deed, this uncle naturally speaks and calculates, and will bury your brother for you." He gave his classmate a look, and the classmate immediately wrapped the straw mat and carried it. The body was gone.Isn't it just handling a body?What's the trouble?

Looking at the direction of the carriage, Nangong Yue fanned again and turned to Wang Xiancheng: "Master Wang, your town is too poor? Why are so many people selling themselves? ... this There are really iron mines in the town, aren’t you kidding me? Zhaofeng Town and Ruixian Town are also rich in iron ore and copper mines. As far as my son knows, they are all very rich."

Wang Xiancheng smiled bitterly in his heart. The wealth of other mining towns was because the mines gave local people a livelihood and drove other industries, but they were all in charge of the town’s mines...

Wang Xiancheng couldn't tell the bitter words, and could only say: "Son, the servant dared not deceive. There is indeed iron ore on the West Grand Mountain, and it is very rich. Every month, nearly one hundred cars of iron ore are shipped. "If there is not too much iron ore and the mining is too late, why should the Fang family buy people everywhere to go to the mine?"

Nangong Yue raised his eyebrows. In this way, the minerals contained in this Sigrand mountain are extremely rich. It does not seem to be doing other activities in the dark in the name of the mine. That is to say, the secret of this Sigrand mountain Most likely the mine itself...

Nangong Yue thought about it and glanced forward. The carriage, which looked like a prisoner's carriage, was turning to the right, and then he couldn't see it.

The carriage went out of the town under the escort of several people, and went to the west suburb of the town. After traveling for four or five miles, we saw several mountains appear in front.

The several men who were locked in the carriage were all uneasy and frightened. There was no sound in the carriage, and Xiao Ying curled up in the corner also made an uneasy look, looking around, but the corner of his mouth was A strange arc is drawn from an angle that others cannot see...

"This batch is new?" At the foot of the mountain, a janitor looked closely at the people in the carriage, glanced at it casually, and opened the iron gate to let the carriage in.

The carriage continued along the winding mountain road, and you could see a man dressed as a servant in front hurriedly going in the other direction...
