The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 514

[Chapter 514 Mine]

“I”

Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows when she heard this and stood a step forward. Just as she was about to say something, she was stopped by Fang Xiu.

“This is my sister. I’m sorry for disturbing you, sir.”

Fang Xiu grabbed Zhao Yan’s arm and looked at the big-mouthed catcher, with a slightly apologetic smile on his face and said.

When the policeman heard this, he glanced at Fang Xiu and saw that he was dressed luxuriously and did not look like a boy from an ordinary family. He snorted coldly and did not continue to dwell on this issue. He said: “Take care of your sister.” , Don’t let her come out and talk nonsense, or the magistrate will know about it.”

After saying that, he turned to look at the beggar who was still kneeling on the ground, and cursed angrily: “You shameless bitch, here you go.” I’ll get up!”

Seeing this scene, the beggar dared to listen to the policeman.

However, the situation in front of them left no room for struggle. Even if they escaped, it was impossible to escape from the city gate guarded by the city guards.

If you escape to other places, as long as you are still in the city, you will be found by these police officers sooner or later. In this case, it is better to accept your fate obediently, and maybe you will suffer less.

“Okay, sir, I listen to you.”

Thinking of this, the beggar seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and slowly stood up from the ground.

“Take it away!”

When the detective saw this scene, he waved his hand, ordered the young detectives behind him, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, the other two detectives naturally stepped forward to grab the beggar and followed him, scolding him from time to time.

“Hurry up and leave!”

“Be honest, I advise you not to be too pretentious, or else you’ll snort.”

“”

On the side, Zhao Yan watched them gradually disappear from her sight, already holding back her stomach. Huo glared at Fang Xiu beside him and said angrily: “Why are you stopping me?”

Although he knew in his heart that he must have some other plan, but seeing the beggar being bullied like this, he still let it go. She felt very unhappy.

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan and said calmly: “Have you never thought about why there are no beggars and homeless people in Du Ming Mansion?”

When Zhao Yan heard this, she said angrily: “Didn’t the policeman just say that, because Du Ming Mansion prohibits begging in the city.”

Fang Xiu added, “The police said it was a rule set by the imperial court. You and I both know very well that the imperial court has never set such a rule.

In this case, why did Du Ming Mansion . “

You want to do this?”

“This”

Zhao Yan was slightly startled when she heard this, and she really couldn’t understand.

The existence of homeless people and beggars is nothing to be ashamed of.

Even under the feet of an emperor like Kyoto City, refugees and beggars can still be tolerated begging along the streets. Although the number is not large, there are indeed some

. If this is the case, why must the Yamen of Duming Mansion prohibit begging in the city?

Could it be that the prefect of Du Ming Mansion is a ruthless person who is unwilling to give these people the last chance to survive?

“Why?”

After a moment, Zhao Yan still couldn’t figure out why the Du Ming Mansion Yamen did this.

She raised her eyes, looked at Fang Xiu in front of her, and asked.

Fang Xiu did not answer and asked the last question: “There is another question. Have you ever thought about it? Since the Du Ming Mansion Yamen does not allow begging in the city, where have all the beggars and refugees gone?”

“Of course.”

Zhao Yan subconsciously wanted to answer, so naturally she paid the fine and was driven out of the city.

However, the scene that just happened made her feel that Fang Xiu’s problem might not be as simple as she imagined.

After struggling for a moment, I still couldn’t think of a reasonable answer.

Zhao Yan raised her eyes, looked at Fang Xiu with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said, “Then tell me, why does Du Ming Mansion’s Yamen not allow begging in the city?

Where have the beggars and refugees gone?”

Fang Xiu heard her question .

, shook his head and said very frankly: “I don’t know either.”

“You”

Zhao Yan was speechless when she heard this answer. She stretched out a hand and pointed at him, wanting to say something, but she didn’t know. How to speak.

At this time, I heard him continue: “However, they will give us an answer.”

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction.

Zhao Yan heard this and looked in the direction he pointed. It was the direction where the police officers had left.

The midday in winter is not as clear as in spring and summer. Even though there is no haze here in the previous life, it still looks gloomier. .

The sun that usually hangs in the sky is hiding behind heavy clouds at this moment, adding a bit of gloom to the cold climate.

Outside the city of Du Ming Mansion, less than seven miles away, there are mountains one after another.

There is a huge pothole among the mountains. It is not so conspicuous, but as long as you get closer, you can see it very clearly.

The reason is simple, because this pothole is really big and can accommodate thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

In fact, at this moment, in this pit, there are hundreds of people holding pickaxes high and working hard to knock down the stones in the pit.

Even people who have never seen this scene before, after seeing what these people do, can guess that this pit is a mining area, and what these people do is mining.

It’s just that I don’t know what kind of mine exists in this mine.

Outside the mine, there are dozens of simple straw sheds, which can barely block some wind and rain.

There are several huts made of solid wood between the simple huts.

Compared with the mansions in the city, these huts are extremely simple, but compared with the straw huts next to them, they are countless times more luxurious. At least they can provide shelter from wind and rain without any problem.

Looking further, not far from these huts and huts, two figures could be vaguely seen behind a large tree of unknown type.

“What are these people doing?”

Zhao Yan looked at everything in front of her and asked with confusion on her face.

Fang Xiu never took his eyes off the detectives. Hearing Zhao Yan’s question, he responded casually: “Mining.”

“Mining?”

Zhao Yan still didn’t quite understand.

Fang Xiu turned around, glanced at her, and asked, “Where do the iron swords you use come from?”

Zhao Yan was completely stunned when she heard this question.

After a moment, she seemed to understand something, and suddenly said: “It turns out that iron and copper are taken out of these stones!”

Although the meaning of this statement is not quite accurate, it still makes some sense.

Fang Xiu didn’t have time to correct her, he just said to himself: “The job that the policeman said was to come here to mine”
