Chapter 272 Sold as a mine slave

"A bunch of bastards dare to run wild on my territory. I'm so tired of living. Bah!"

The inn chef spat on the ground and cursed.

"Although it took a little effort, it also saved us the drug."

The innkeeper closed the door of the inn and put a closing sign at the door. Then he turned around and saw the chef walking towards Yu Xiaogang who was lying on the ground with a lewd look on his face.

"I wrap myself up so tightly. I don't know if it's because I'm too beautiful and I'm afraid of causing trouble, or because I'm too ugly and I'm too embarrassed to see anyone."

The chef looked forward to it, swallowed, and then suddenly tore Yu Xiaogang's hood to pieces, and then...

"I, nima? What the hell is this?"

The shopkeeper came over and looked at Yu Xiaogang on the ground. The facial features on his face were squeezed into a ball, giving him the expression of a subway grandpa.

In his early years, he traveled across the rivers and lakes and saw all kinds of people. He had some ability to recognize people, but for Yu Xiaogang, he couldn't tell the difference between men and women for a while.

"Forget it, you'll know after you open it and take a look."

While muttering, the chef pulled off Yu Xiaogang's black robe. When he took a closer look, both of them were dumbfounded. The atmosphere in the inn was very quiet for a time.

"..."

"Fuck! It's really dirty to my eyes!" The chef cursed and threw the torn black robe back on Yu Xiaogang.

The shopkeeper on the side also felt a chill: "Isn't this person from the palace?"

"That's for sure. I thought his voice sounded like a bitch, but it turned out to be a father-in-law."

Both the chef and the shopkeeper felt nauseous. Just now, they were thinking that if Yu Xiaogang were a woman, they could have a meat dish after a long time, but it was obviously impossible for a eunuch to interest them.

"I almost vomited after dinner last night. Brother, what are you going to do with these bastards?" the chef asked.

The shopkeeper thought for a moment, then chuckled: "Sell it to Lao Hei. His mine collapsed in the past two days and many people died. If we just sell these people to mine, we can still make a fortune. "

When the chef heard this, his eyes lit up: "This is a good sentiment. These are all great soul masters in their twenties. They are also powerful in mining. They will definitely sell for a good price."

"What a big fat pig."

The shopkeeper snatched the money bag from Yu Xiaogang, opened it and counted, there were more than fifty gold soul coins, which was a huge sum of money.

"With these, plus the money from selling these turtles as slaves in the mines, we can go out and enjoy ourselves for a while." The chef said with joy.

"Stop talking nonsense, you find chains and tie them up to prevent them from suddenly waking up. I'll contact Lao Hei."

"Row!"

After saying that, the two brothers got busy.

Poor Yu Xiaogang, less than a day after being separated from Tang San, he was sold as a slave in the mines. After that, he was completely unaware of the fiery days that awaited him.

…………

The next day, at the Jinluan Hall of the Star Luo Empire.

The dragon chair above was empty, and the two rows of civil servants and generals in the audience were talking and whispering to each other, as if they didn't understand what was going on. After all, Dai Qingcang was a very punctual person and was never late for court on weekdays.

On the contrary, the ministers with the highest official positions standing at the forefront were very aware of the current situation. They were all serious and calm as if they were sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and even had weird smiles on their lips.

This world is not bound by Confucianism. The idea that "the king wants his ministers to die and they have to die" only exists in the minds of a very small number of people.

The vast majority of people hold hereditary titles or official positions, and respect the emperor but are not afraid of it.

Nowadays, Dai Qingcang's life and death are uncertain, and there are no other successors in the Dai family, which makes many people see an opportunity.

The Star Luo Empire has been passed down for thousands of years, and the royal family has gone through countless groups of people during this period. The current Dai family also ousted the previous generation of royal family when they were in decline, and then took the throne themselves.

Now that things are changing, it's time for the emperor's position to be changed.

These people with high official positions, after several generations of management, also have considerable power in their hands. When Dai Qingcang was well, they did not dare to act rashly, but now that the court is leaderless, they naturally do not need to take care of it.

The brave ones will starve to death, and the timid ones will starve to death. Last night and throughout the night, they had already worked hard and ordered people to contact their respective subordinates. As soon as the people arrived, it was time for them to take action.

Just as they were thinking about it, Zhu Wuli, who was dressed in official uniform and had a majestic air, walked in with high spirits.

The other officials looked at him and felt a little confused.

"Huh? Isn't Duke Youming grounded by His Majesty? Why is he here?"

Netherworld Duke is the hereditary duke name of the Zhu family, taken from the first two characters of their martial spirit Netherworld Spirit Cat.

"Looking at the menacing appearance of Lord Netherworld, and His Majesty's delay in showing up, I feel like something is wrong."

The officials in the back row whispered.

"Don't express your opinions yet. Let's wait and see what happens. My intuition tells me that something big may happen."

Zhu ignored the fact that he had walked to the front of the team and turned to look at the two rows of civil servants and generals.

"Mr. Netherworld, I remember that your Majesty asked you to be grounded for six months and not to participate in politics, right? Aren't you openly disobeying the emperor's order when you go to court now?"

A slightly mocking voice came, and Zhu ignored turning his head and looked at the tall and thin middle-aged man on the left with an expressionless face.

This person's name is Jia Nan, and he is also a duke like Zhu Wuwu, but he is a more experienced duke than Zhu Wuwu.

The title of Duke of the Zhu family was conferred when the ancestors of the Zhu family and the Dai family seized the power of the Star Luo Empire together.

The title of Jia Nan's family was passed down from the previous dynasty.

Officials from the previous dynasty were supposed to be suppressed, even if not eradicated, when the new emperor ascended the throne.

However, the power of the Jia family was too great, and it was deeply rooted in both the government and the public. At that time, the ancestors of the Dai family had just arrived in Dabao, and their position was not stable enough to move this behemoth. Instead, they had to rely on them sometimes.

Moreover, the Jia family has always behaved in a non-competitive manner and obeyed the new emperor's orders, so in the end they were left alone. Another hundred years passed, and the Jia family became more and more powerful and ambitious.

When it comes to the collapse of the Dai family, the next person most likely to seize power is Jia Nan.

"I asked Lord Netherworld to come."

At this time, a majestic female voice came from the back of the hall, and the queen, who was wearing a phoenix robe that swept the floor and had a noble and dignified temperament, walked out.

"See the Queen, she is a thousand years old!"

All the ministers bent down and knelt down, even Zhu Wuwu also bowed and saluted, but there were two or three people standing there motionless, as if they had not seen the queen at all.

The most outrageous one was undoubtedly Jia Nan, with a pointed-mouthed monkey-cheeked face full of obscene smiles, eyes twinkling, looking back and forth at the queen carefully, smacking her lips from time to time, and muttering "so beautiful, so big".

Seeing this scene, Zhu Wushuang's face suddenly darkened. She was a majestic queen and the mother of a country, but someone dared to blaspheme her like this.

However, Jia Nan's behavior also fully demonstrated that he already knew that Dai Qingcang was unconscious due to the poison in his body, and he dared to be so presumptuous now, presumably he already had the idea of ​​no longer being subordinate to others.

The situation is a bit troublesome.
