Chapter 513 - 513: He Can Only Hold On For A Moment



Lu Shen saw that MO Ruyue was acting as if it was real. If he hadn’t been informed beforehand, he would have been intimidated. This Princess Ming

Yue was really amazing.

He immediately frowned and said, “I reported it.”

“The higher-ups told us to dig out more of the things as soon as possible and then transport them back to refine them.”

“But there are only six of us. No matter how fast we are, even if we work day and night without sleeping, without eating or drinking, we won’t be able to dig out much.”

“The higher-ups said that it would take at least a month or two before they sent someone over.”

Oh my, this old fellow has a bright future!

MO Ruyue admired Lu Shen’s acting talent.

“I see. Why don’t I find some people in the village for you?

MO Ruyue asked.

“But I don’t have much salary!’

“I’ll ask around for you. Even if you don’t pay much, you can afford to pay 15 or

20 wen per person a day, right?”

It was almost winter, and the commoners had nothing to do. It was good to earn some money.

Lu Shen frowned and pondered for a moment before smiling.

“15 or 20 wen, it’s not impossible to grit your teeth. If there really is someone, then this lowly official will thank Princess Ming Yue first.”

Lu Shen stood up and bowed to MO Ruyue.

“Hurry up and get up. It’s a small matter.”

“You can go back first. If you find him, I’ll ask the village chief to bring him to you.”

“Yes, I will take my leave.”

After the six people left, the old village chief went up to MO Ruyue.

“There’s gold in this mountain. Shouldn’t it be yours?

“That can’t be. If there really is a gold mine, it doesn’t belong to me.”

“It’s against the law to hide it privately.”

The old village chief nodded. He understood.

“Uncle, why don’t you ask the village if anyone is willing to dig?”

“He could also help ask the people in the other villages.”

“He told them to finish digging and leave as soon as possible so that they wouldn’t be remembered.”

The old village chief thought about it.

“Alright, leave this to me.”

The old village chief had always been a man of action. He immediately went home and rang the gong to gather the villagers, telling them that there might be a gold mine in the mountains.

“Regardless of whether you can dig up gold or not, it will be at least 15 wen a day.”

The old village chief didn’t dare to say twenty wen. What if the other party didn’t give that much? Anyway, it was at least fifteen wen.

“Those who are willing to go, come and register with me.”

“You can also go home and tell your family and friends that anyone who wants to come can come. The more people who go, the better.”

When the villagers heard the news, they exploded.

Fifteen copper coins a day was indeed not a lot, and it was hard work like digging mountains, but what were they digging?

They were digging for gold!

If they dug up gold, they would more or less get some.

Of course, he had to do such a good thing. He would be a fool if he didn’t!

Now that the autumn harvest was over and it was time to raise the land, they had nothing to do at home every day.

Now that there was an opportunity to earn money, there might even be gold. This was a good thing that fell from the sky!

Therefore, the daughter-in-law of the Dong family went home and told her parents. The daughter-in-law of the Xi family went back and told her brother and sister-in-law. Those families then told their own families.

He had thought that not many people would come, but early the next morning, a large crowd of people came. There were at least a few hundred people.

All of them were either carrying shovels or hoes in their hands. They were all rushing to West River Village.

This scene shocked Meng Xun and the others who were in charge of the princess’ manor.

Those people were all holding weapons in their hands and were still aggressive. Could they be here to fight?

He heard that the villagers used those tools to fight.

“The two of you, come with me. The rest of you, continue with your work.”

Meng Xun picked two people who were closest to him and followed them to see the situation. If they really fought, he couldn’t let Princess Ming Yue be implicated. Gu Ying had been to the capital for the past two days.

His subordinates might not be able to fight those people to the death, but they could still protect Princess Ming Yue.

When they were about to catch up to those people, Meng Xun asked one of them to report to the village first so that they could respond in advance. He and the other followed these people to see if they could find out anything. “Xiao Liuzi, go to the village and inform them to prepare.”

“Xiao Liuzi, if something goes wrong, run back and ride a horse to the county to inform the magistrate.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Xiao Liuzi ran forward quickly and caught up with the hundreds of people in a short while.

Someone noticed him. Seeing that he was running fast and had already surpassed them, someone immediately became anxious.

“That bastard, how could he beat me to it?

“No, we came together!”

The moment this person finished speaking, he quickened his paceo The others naturally quickened their pace as well. No one wanted to fall behind. There were also countless people. If they were to fall behind, they would not have a chance.

Meng Xun and Xiao Liuzi were about to catch up to the last person in the group, but they suddenly quickened their pace. He quickened his pace as well, and his heart thumped violently because they were about to enter the village.

As a result, the small path into the village was overcrowded. It felt as if the small path could not hold on any longer. Dust flew everywhere where the people who led the way ran. The people behind them all ate the dust. Meng Xun and Xiao Liuzi, who were at the back, were the worst.

When they stopped at the entrance of the village, Meng Xun and Xiao Liuzi were covered in dirt from head to toe. They were in a sorry state.

Especially Meng Xun. He was born into an aristocratic family. Even though he had joined the Ministry of Works, he had always been on horseback. He rarely ran on the dirt road like this. He was also sweating from running in a hurry. Coupled with the dirt, he could change his face in Beijing opera.

‘Great Lord, your… Your face.”

“What face?

Meng Xun couldn’t care less about his face. He panted a few times and patted the person closest to him.

The man turned his head and looked at the bearded man who was covered in dirt. He was at the back and was anxious that he wouldn’t be able to apply. He was also patted on the shoulder from behind. He was very impatient. When he turned his head, his expression was naturally not good. He opened his mouth and choked on a mouthful of dust.

“Ha… You!”

“What’s the hurry!’

“Can’t you see that we’re all waiting!’

Meng Xun wiped his face with his sleeve after being spat at. His face was even more disfigured, but he still asked nicely, “Big brother, may I ask why so many of you are here?”

The bearded man knew that Meng Xun was cultured when he heard him speak in a cultured manner, so he deliberately softened his voice.

“Little brother is a scholar, right? I advise you to go home and study hard. This physical work is not something you can do.”

The bearded man thought that if he really dug up gold, someone would be jealous and snatch it. Wouldn’t they start a fight?

He had experienced this saying before.

Forget about this weak scholar.

When Meng Xun heard the bearded man say that someone was going to die, he wondered who had provoked this group of people.

“Xiao Liuzi, I forgot to bring something. Go back and get it quickly.”

Meng Xun winked at Xiao Liuzi, telling him to quickly report to the officials. It would definitely be difficult for him to handle this situation, so he could only hold on for a while.

Xiao Liuzi couldn’t care less about his face anymore. He turned around and ran as fast as he could. In a short while, he was far away.

The bearded man saw that the scholar did not listen to his advice and actually called someone to snatch a seat. He did not want to talk to him anymore and secretly squeezed in front.

Meng Xun couldn’t enter the village even if he wanted to. The entrance was blocked. He wondered if Xiao Liuzi had seen Princess Ming Yue..
