Emperor of Hongshi

After Yinzhen explained to Hongshi, Wang Maohong arrived the next day. He was an old man in his 50s with gray hair, and he really looked like the kind of pedantic person.

After all, it was Yinzhen who invited him here, and his reputation is not low, so Hongshi still gave him the treatment he deserved.

When Wang Maohong was giving lectures, Hongshi listened attentively, occasionally discussing with him a few words and expressing his own opinions.

Although my ability is not as bad as Yinzhen's image, but who doesn't want to improve themselves and become better and better!

And doing so can reassure Yinzhen and make the relationship between him and himself less rigid.

Hiroshi is still very happy!

Yinzhen also took time to watch Wang Maohong give Hongshi a class, and he was very satisfied to see Wang Maohong's seriousness in speaking and Hongshi's seriousness in listening.

Moreover, Hongshi puts his mind on his studies, which prevents him from going out and wandering around. When he meets Yinhu, he always stays with Yinhu.

I don't know why, but he really hates Hongshi and Yinhu being together. No matter how many times he sees that scene, it is very glaring to him, and he doesn't want to experience it again.

Such a harmonious day did not last long, it only lasted for a short three months, and soon something happened in the court, and there was a severe drought in the west.

In order to save the people in the west from the fire and water, the imperial court opened warehouses to release grain and collected money to go to the west for disaster relief.

After thinking about it, Yinzhen finally decided to ask Hongshi to accompany the imperial envoy to go to the west to experience and gain experience, and he will gain a lot of knowledge, and he will not grow much if he stays in the capital all the time.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen made a decree to let Hongshi accompany the imperial envoy to the west.

Although Hongshi was surprised that Yinzhen asked him to go to the west on business, he didn't say much, he packed his bags obediently, and left with the disaster relief team.

Hongshi and his mighty large team encountered a group of black-clothed assassins as soon as they left the city. Although the accompanying officers and soldiers fought hard to resist, it was a pity that they were no match for the well-trained assassins at all.

They were beaten to pieces within a few strokes, but this group of people obviously didn't come for the relief food, their goal was Hongshi, and a group of black-clothed assassins rushed towards the carriage that Hongshi was in. come over.

The groom who was driving the carriage hid under the carriage tremblingly.

Looking at the group of people attacking him, Hong Shi frowned and fought hard, but his fists were no match for his four legs, and he couldn't hold back the opponent's crowd.

After a while, he was forced to back and forth again and again, until he retreated to the edge of a cliff, his feet slipped and he fell off the cliff.

The group of people glanced at the bottom of the unfathomable cliff, turned and left.

And the imperial envoy who saw the assassin's departure didn't see Hongshi, his legs went limp in fright, and he almost passed out.

It was the first time that the golden and precious elder brother came out to do business with him, but he was assassinated and fell off a cliff. The emperor knew about it, and he probably had to move his head.

The imperial envoy is usually a person who is used to seeing people's faces, and he knew Yinzhen's temper, so he hurriedly wrote a memorial, found a soldier who was still alive, and hurriedly sent him to the palace, while he himself waited at the same place .

This will only leave the city, and the trip back and forth is only half a day, not too long.

This matter is so big that it must not be hidden. With Yinzhen's temperament, if he finds out, he will definitely be miserable than now. It is better to report the truth directly. Although Yinzhen may hate himself, it is because of face. He won't do anything to himself either.

Yinzhen was reviewing the memorial in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside, and then Su Peisheng walked in with a worried face.

"Your majesty, it's not good. The third elder brother and his disaster relief team encountered an assassin. The third elder brother was forced to fall off the cliff and his whereabouts are unknown."

"What did you say?" The penholder in Yinzhen's hand was broken in an instant, and he couldn't believe it.

What Su Peisheng said just now, Hongshi was assassinated and fell off a cliff.

How can this be?

Certainly not, he will be fine!

When I sent him out in the morning, he was fine, but it's only been two hours, how is that possible?

Yinzhen's eyes were on the verge of burning. After a while, he took a few deep breaths, and after calming down, he looked at Su Peisheng, "Draft an order to let the imperial envoys continue to provide disaster relief. As for Hongshi, I will make my own decision."

Seeing that Su Peisheng went out with the imperial decree, Yinzhen said to the air, sending a few more people to look for it, and make sure to bring the third elder brother back safely.

"Yes!"

In the originally silent hall, a cold and emotionless voice suddenly sounded in the air, followed by a black shadow.

……

When Hiroshi woke up in a daze, he felt his whole body shaking, as if he was in a carriage, but it didn't look like it, because his eyes could obviously feel the dazzling light.

After opening and closing his eyes several times, Hiroshi finally got used to the situation. Now he seems to be in a prison car made of wood, and there are a few men with dejected faces inside this prison car...

Hongshi was a little dazed when he saw this situation. He took a closer look around and found that there were three or four such prison cars behind, which could hold more than 30 people, most of whom were young people between 15 and 30 years old.

"Brother, are you awake?" Just when Hongshi was in a daze, a timid voice sounded beside his ears, and Hongshi turned his head to look in doubt.

I saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy looking at him nervously, with his right hand tightly clutching his sleeve.

"you are?"

Hongshi was full of doubts, and he didn't quite understand the current situation.

"My name is Xiaomu. I'm an orphan. I was abducted to the capital by human traffickers, but I was caught by this group of people. From what they said, it seems that they want to drag us to a mine in the west to dig mines."

"Mining? What mine?" Hongshi looked at Xiaomu suspiciously, but just as he was about to speak, a ferocious man outside directly picked up the whip beside him, and even shook it with the car, "Give it to me." Be quiet and shut up!"

When Xiaomu was hit, he curled his lips and didn't dare to say any more, so he buried his head between his legs.

At this time, another 30-year-old man next to Hongshi spoke up, "That kid is just a child, I'm afraid he doesn't know much about it, we were all given excuses by those officials to shut him down. Get up, and then distribute it. It is said to be distributed, but it is actually secretly taken to mine private mines.”

"Private mine?" Although Hongshi has stayed in the capital for many years, it is not closed. He still knows what he should know.

This private mine is a private mine that is secretly exploited behind the back of the imperial court. Ordinary ordinary people do not have this ability and have no opportunity, so only those corrupt officials who are officials, and it is not enough to be corrupt behind the imperial court's back, even secretly mine Private mine.

"However, how do you, an ordinary person, know these things? It's not the people outside who told you secretly, right?"

Hongshi said and looked outside, this is impossible, how could the group of vicious people outside talk so much?

"A Niu in our village was taken away to mine before, and a year later he escaped by pretending to be dead and returned to our village.

But no one knew who leaked the news, the magistrate took A Niu away with officers and soldiers and executed him.

This is what he said when he came back. Only then did we know that the county magistrate should be in the same group as the mining people. "

Hong Shi was already stunned when he heard this, and his brows were frowned.

But I heard the big man next to him continue to say: "Looking at your clothes, you must be the son of a rich family. Why have you been arrested?"

"Me?" Hongshi looked bewildered. He is not very clear about his situation now. After thinking about it, he said slowly, "I don't know what's going on? I remember that it seemed that I was outside the city. Accidentally fell off a cliff and woke up here."

The big man nodded, and then said: "So that's the case, you must have fainted on the ground, and was bumped into by that group of people, so they brought you directly."

Hongshi didn't know what to say for a moment, he just sat there silently, shaking with the movement of the prison car.

Next to him, Xiao Mu timidly crawled over, looked at Hong Shi and asked, "Big brother, I'm afraid..."

Hongshi looked at the young man in front of him, and couldn't bear it, he stroked his head and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll be with you!"

When Hongshi sighed, he completely forgot that he himself was only 19 years old, not much older than that boy.

After Hongshi coaxed Xiaomu to fall asleep on his lap, looking at the rickety prison car, his thoughts drifted away.

Anyway, they were all going to the west, and he was also going to the west for disaster relief. There was no big difference, but the way of going was different. Thinking about it this way, Hongshi became calm.

He also wanted to see what was going on in this private mine.

Sitting in the prison car and wandering around for more than ten days, they finally arrived at their destination, and then the officers and soldiers with whips in their hands opened the door of the prison car and slammed their whips to make them come down quickly.

Hongshi hugged the timid and frightened Xiaomu in his arms, and brought him down, and was whipped twice by the officers and soldiers watching the prison van.

He just frowned, then pulled Xiao Mu and walked inside following the flow of people.

When he got inside and saw the bright yellow in front of him, he finally understood why some people took the risk to mine the mine privately, because it was a gold mine.

And looking at its shape, it seems that it contains a lot of gold, and the whole mine looks yellow.

Just when Hongshi was watching there in a daze, the officers and soldiers behind suddenly gave him a whip and shouted loudly: "Hurry up!"

Hiroshi hid the displeasure in his eyes, pulled Xiaomu and turned around, and continued to walk forward until he got inside. He saw skinny people carrying big baskets on their backs, and the baskets were full of gold. He was in a very happy mood. heavy.

Suddenly, an older man accidentally fell, and the guard next to him whipped him up, beating and cursing: "You dare to be lazy, let you be lazy, let you be lazy!"

Seeing such a scene, Xiao Mu got into Hiroshi's arms in fright, trembling all over.
