Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Chapter 139 Miners

"Sir, there is a cave a few miles ahead and there are many people guarding it. If we start from here, we might be discovered.

The location of that cave is higher than our terrain. When I looked back just now, I just saw the top of your head. I'm afraid they haven't inspected it yet, so they haven't found us. It's best to find a cover to facilitate the passage. "

"Okay, everyone, find some branches and leaves here to make straw hats and put them on your heads, then squat down and walk." Gao Xi gave an order, and everyone started to move to find branches to make hats.

Tian Zhenwei was afraid that Tian Yuheng didn't understand, so he made one for him first and then made another one for himself.

"Okay, Second Young Master, put it on quickly. We have to hurry. I'll follow you in a moment. If you can't hold on, just lean back and I'll help you hold on."

Tian Zhenwei has almost become the nanny of the Tian County family's children. He has protected Tian Xing'er all the way and now he is protecting Tian Yuheng. However, he is now perfectly qualified for this job. Although Tian Yuheng is a weak scholar, he is not squeamish and cannot cause trouble like Tian Xing'er, which saves a lot of worry.

Soon the team was getting closer and closer to the cave. Gao Xi asked everyone to disperse, and he and Tian Zhenwei prepared to knock out the two guards. They observed for a while and found that no one else came out of the cave. As long as they got rid of these two people first, it should be easy to get in.

Tian Zhenwei and Gao Xi had worked together once or twice, and they had a tacit understanding. One on the left and one on the right, they knocked the man out in almost the same amount of time.

"I'll go in first, you stay behind and assist me if anything happens." Gao Xi likes to take the lead in doing things, and he will naturally be the first to take on danger. In his opinion, he should protect his own soldiers first, and he is more professional in this kind of thing. In this respect, he is quite similar to Tian Zhenwei. Maybe this is why he hates Zhao Shi but not Gao Xi. After all, the two are more similar and have more compatible personalities.

"Okay, you go first, I'll follow."

The two men walked one in front and one behind, cooperating with each other tacitly. Tie Qi protected Tian Yuheng on the side, and the others followed.

Unexpectedly, this cave was quite large, and there was only one entrance. If someone suddenly came in, the others would probably be awakened. Fortunately, they were lucky because they had not experienced anything and did not know how to be careful. They did not even realize that someone had sneaked in.

As you go deeper, the cave begins to branch out. One side should be the living area, and the other side is the working area.

Gao Xi led half of the people to the left, while Tian Zhenwei went to the right.

Gao Xi was lucky. There were miners on the left, and one or two guards. Gao Xi quietly woke up one of the miners and led him out.

"Who is guarding this place? We are here to rescue you. I will let go of your hand in a moment. Just whisper back to me."

The miner was tall and thin, and his body was dirty and smelly because he had been in the mine for a long time. When he first heard that they were there to rescue him, he couldn't believe it and almost cried.

Gao Xi immediately covered his mouth and said, "Shut up, man, don't cry. Your parents are waiting for you at home. Tell me which cave those people are in so I can send someone to deal with them."

The man nodded immediately and pointed forward. Seeing that he was no longer excited, Gao Xi let go of his hand and whispered, "Okay, take us there."

With the help of the miners, they quickly found several people who were in charge of the mine, knocked them out one by one and tied them up with ropes.

Tian Yuheng and his team were mainly in the smelting area. Unexpectedly, there were still quite a few people here. They were probably working overtime last night and had just stopped to rest. Not long after, they heard the sound of a transport vehicle sliding on the tracks in the cave in the distance, accompanied by several shouts and curses.

"Second Master, take some people and watch here first. I will go to the cave in front to investigate."

"Tie Qi, take good care of the Second Young Master."

After Tian Zhenwei arranged the people, he took another group of people and went deeper. It was not too dark inside, and there were mining lamps every few meters. The guard at the entrance was knocked unconscious, so they went straight towards the shouting.

Soon after, a carriage was seen at the end, which should lead to the outside. However, he didn't know how many people were there. Tian Zhenwei asked his men to retreat first and wait for them to come back. He would deal with them one by one and then interrogate them.

When they retreated, Gao Xi's men also came, and many miners also came. Tian Zhenwei asked Gao Xi and the others to help deal with the group of people who would come back later.

At this time, the cave was quiet and everyone was listening quietly. Soon, several shouts and laughter were heard from the depths of the cave.

Little by little, the sound became louder and closer. As soon as the miners stepped into the cave, Tian Zhenwei and Gao Xi's men quickly rushed behind the miners and arrested the managers.

Now that everyone has been arrested, it's time for interrogation.

"Tell me how many people are there over there, and where are their carriages going?" Gao Xi is the most important person here, so naturally he is the one to do the interrogation.

"I don't understand what you are saying. You'd better let us go soon, otherwise you will be in trouble when our people get here." said a tall and slightly fat man among the group.

"Oh, who is your man? Prefect Yan, Lord Yan?" Gao Xi said with a smile.

"You, how did you know that?" As soon as the man finished speaking, he realized that he had fallen into a trap and let the cat out of the bag.

"Don't worry, my people will go and bring the prefect to you right away. He will go to jail with you."

"You are lying. This is impossible. In this northern land, who is more powerful than our prefect? ​​Now that you know about this, you should let us go. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences."

"Hmph, you are so stubborn. I don't want to waste my words with you anymore. Do you know General Li Yun?" Gao Xi took out his Duwei token.

The man was so scared that he collapsed to the ground. "Sir, I said, I said, you must spare my life. I was also forced. I have no choice. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of. I really didn't know this matter was so serious."

"Go away, stop talking nonsense. Speak faster. If you speak slowly or say something wrong, you will be punished more severely."

"Okay, I'll tell you right away. Actually, that's the silver truck over there, with 20-30 people following it. We always hand over the goods to them at this time. They only transport the goods once every few days. You saw today's trip, and it's gone. But we still have a small truck left, and they will come to pick it up tomorrow."

"Where did the person who took the goods take them? Besides the prefect, who else was involved in this matter?"

"Sir, I really don't know. I just manage the mine every day. They send people and we give them the goods. I really don't know anything else, sir."

"Then how can you tell them apart if the people who come here are different?"
