It¡¯s night, the moon is dark, the wind is high, and a chill is rising from the sky.
A large area of ??iron mines in the west of Yanbei City is brightly lit, and there are bursts of noisy sounds.
Ming, Yuan, and the current heads of the three major Bai families stood at the top of the mine from a distance, overlooking everything. The cold wind blew, and the cloaks of the three people fluttered, making their figures look a little desolate.
But the mood of the three of them was as if they were being illuminated by the scorching sun, which was unprecedentedly good. It seems that it has not been this bright for a long time since Zhao Zongyang came to Yanbei.
"This cooperation with Da Zhou is a joint decision between the three of us. No matter how many misunderstandings or unhappiness we had in the past, we should let it go now." Mingzhe pondered and said: "How serious the nature of this decision is, I believe it will not be necessary Let me tell you more. We are now completely tied together. We will both prosper and suffer. If one family collapses, the other two families will not be able to live a good life, don¡¯t you think?"
Yuan Tan and Bai Sheng could not understand at this time that Mingzhe wanted to take the dominant position. The so-called Trinity, doesn't the implication mean that when one person speaks, three families must listen? Based on the current situation of the three families and their connections with the powerful people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, if they had to find a spokesperson, it would naturally be Mingzhe.
This guy is very good at calculating, he is really taking advantage of the situation!
"That's what Brother Ming said. We, the Yuan family, have nothing to say, but we can just rely on Brother Ming's control."
"The Bai family has no objections. At critical moments, personal grievances are trivial matters."
Although Yuan Tan and Bai Sheng have their own plans in mind, they have no choice now. Especially the relationship between the two has been a bit tense recently, because of Zhao Zongyang's incident, they are making fun of each other. If anyone does not support Mingzhe, he may be isolated by the other two families at the same time, and may even offend Da Zhou. Neither the Yuan family nor the Bai family can afford this.
not to mention. As Mingzhe said, there is no way out for the three major families to cooperate with Dazhou this time. The three families were completely tied into the same boat. If we cannot work together, then we will capsize together, which will not benefit anyone.
"The two of you can be so upright and upright. It really touched Ming." Mingzhe laughed and said: "I promise not to treat you badly. As long as the business with Dazhou is done well this time and Zhao Zongyang is destroyed, the future Yanbei will always be our world!"
"However, I am a little worried about whether Da Zhou will turn his back and deny people after getting the benefits?" Yuan Tan said with some worry: "Da Zhou people are famous for their ambitions and renege on their promises. It's not like that. Never. What I am most worried about is that if Zhao Zongyang really hooks up with Princess Da Zhou and becomes Da Zhou's consort, will Da Zhou kill him for us?
¡°Maybe, he might as well give us as a gift. "
Depend on. What kind of garlic? Others don't know, and I don't know, but you spread that rumor. There is no adultery between them, they are just enemies! Bai Sheng murmured in his heart: However, since everyone is pretending to be confused, I shouldn't pretend to understand.
"Haha. Don't worry about this. This is the basis for our cooperation with Dazhou." Mingzhe smiled confidently: "The dignitaries of Dazhou hate Zhao Zongyang more than us. I don't know how many people are eyeing the position of the Prince Consort. , that¡¯s why they are so happy to cooperate with us.¡±
Bai Sheng chuckled: "In that case, I'm relieved. Speaking of which, although I didn't see the appearance of Princess Zhou clearly, her figure and temperament are one of a kind. Zhao Zongyang, a stinky boy, is quite lucky. It¡¯s not small, but because of this, a big disaster is about to happen.¡±
"This is the so-called beauty is a disaster." Mingzhe said seriously: "Don't be fooled by the temptation of the outside world, keep your heart and be strong without desire."
Yuan Tan scolded Mingzhe in his heart: What fake Taoism are you pretending to do? You are more impatient than anyone else! A peerless woman like Princess Dazhou, if you have a choice, you can lose everything
He scolded and scolded in his heart, and his performance was still echo. The three old wolves laughed at his heart, and the laughter floated out. It seemed particularly weird in the cold wind.
And under their feet, the young and strong laborers who had been forced into labor were working hard. Behind them was a group of fierce private soldiers armed with leather whips. There were so many of them, even more than the working people. Everyone was shouting curses, and when they saw anyone who showed slight neglect, they would immediately punch and kick them, beat them to the ground half to death, and then throw them into the mine without caring about life or death.
Although the mine has been in operation for many years, it has always been the most backward facility and has never been rectified. There is no safety at all. Once you enter the mine, the only thing you can do is to resign yourself to fate.
From the start of construction to now, it has only been an hour.In such a short period of time, there were already dozens of corpses. Those who were familiar with these dead people couldn't help crying, but before they could cry out, they were immediately whipped and bruised all over their bodies.
"Why are you crying? Get to work quickly, otherwise you will be the next one to die!"
"Master Jun, please do me a favor and let us take one last look at them. When I came here, my family told me a lot that we should take care of each other. I took one last look so that I can be kind to his family when I go back." As explained.¡±
The sound of the whip was endless, and the person who begged for mercy was whipped half to death, and then he put his foot into the hole.
"Explain? What do you have to explain? You are still dreaming about going back! You will all die here." A sinister, scar-faced sergeant accidentally let the matter slip.
At this moment, the civilians who were forcibly conscripted were stunned. After a while, they came to their senses. An unprecedented despair suddenly spread.
¡°It¡¯s all about death anyway, *** quit!¡± A voice rang out in despair, and it immediately received the greatest response.
You can¡¯t even save your life, but you are still working hard to mine for others? Fuck bird feathers!
"Bang bang bang" the sound of shovels hitting the ground was heard endlessly, and almost everyone dropped their tools.
"Why, you're looking for death!" The scar-faced sergeant glared angrily. He waved his whip and hit the civilian who was the first to say those words hard. He kicked him to the ground and stepped on him repeatedly.
"Brothers, what are you doing standing still? Take action!" Scar shouted, and the sergeants waved their whips and struck hard at the defenseless people.
"Folks, fight these idiots!" In extreme despair, the ordinary people's suppressed emotions finally broke out. In normal times, when they see these sergeants, they are like mice and cats. Only behind their backs would they dare to secretly curse. But who can care about being afraid now? He is going to die anyway. If he drags a few wolf-hearted yellow-skins along with him to be buried with him, it will be able to relieve his anger to some extent!
Picking up the shovel from the ground, he smashed it at these ferocious yellow-skinned beasts.
"You are so ambitious, brothers, kill!" Scarface laughed coldly, threw away the whip, pulled out the steel knife from his waist, and waved his hand at the leading grassroots.
In an instant, the head fell to the ground!
¡°Swish, swish, swish,¡± the sergeants pulled out their steel knives one after another, and each one of them became more and more evil. These well-trained sergeants, faced with ordinary people who have no knowledge of martial arts and have no rules, are killing people like an autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. After a while, blood flowed into a river.
In the air, apart from the bloody storm, there are also painful wails, like hell on earth.
"These common people seem to be making trouble." On the top of the mountain, Bai Sheng said coldly: "Should we go down?"
"How is this necessary? These ordinary people can turn the world upside down, and one finger can prevent them from turning over forever." Yuan Tan said disdainfully: "The only dissatisfaction I have is that if too many people die, no one will work. ¡±
"It's just some trash. What does it matter if there is one more or one less? It doesn't matter if they all die today. If one dies, we can just grab a pair tomorrow. There are not many other things in Yanbei, but there are many people." Mingzhe's tone was even more serious. Unscrupulous and full of domineering.
"That thief Zhao Zongyang is said to have returned to the Hou Mansion tonight. If we go to arrest people tomorrow, will he be a hindrance?" Yuan Tan asked slightly worriedly.
"Haha, that's exactly what you want. Aren't you worried that Da Zhou won't use all his strength to deal with him? If he dares to stop us, he will openly become an enemy of Da Zhou." Mingzhe said with a smile: "We don't need to say anything at all then. , those nobles of the Zhou Dynasty who have long hated him will naturally tear him to pieces!"
"Brother Ming is such a clever trick, it can divert disaster to the east!" Bai Sheng stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Does this mean that he can attack jade with the stone from the mountain?"
The three of them looked at each other and laughed knowingly at the same time.
This hearty laughter seemed so weird against the tragic wailing at the bottom of the mountain.
"What a move to divert misfortune to the east. The three family heads are indeed outstanding talents of our Kaiyuan, and they are complacent about the strength of the enemy. Are the Zhou people your father or your grandfather?"
In the cold wind, a cold voice came, making the three of them startled.
"The three major families really lead their troops well and are well-trained. Look at the sergeants below. They all look like tigers possessed by murderous gods. It's a pity that these tigers went to the battlefield and faced the Zhou people like A cat without claws and claws is nothing but a member of the nest."
? ?The long white figure slowly appeared in front of the three family heads, making them stunned for a moment.
It was completely conceivable that Zhao Zongyang would come looking for trouble, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly; but this was nothing. What surprised them the most was that the purple figure following Zhao Zongyang was not Princess Zhou, but who?
How is this going? Isn¡¯t the relationship between them a rumor we deliberately spread?
The one who was most hurt was Yuan Tan: They are obviously enemies. Could it be that they were stimulated by my rumors and got together instead?
Damn it, how can there be such a matchmaker in the world?¡ª¡ª
