e.Even if Ginger really ran away, he would still consider it as repaying Ginger's kindness."Don't worry, I'll be back on time."Ginger smiled and jumped out of the carriage. With a few turns, she disap..."Did they really give this to me to handle"

Shen Qian's eyes sparkled, the strange surge washing away the tension and fear in her heart.

Xu Wei arched his brow and chuckled lightly, "That's natural, I am the future village head."

He is very confident that once all the minerals are mined, they can live a life of luxury and be considered local rulers.

"Thank you, Brother Xu. In the past, Ginger especially liked to bully me. Now that you say this, I can finally feel a little relieved."

Shen Qian's voice softened a few points, "You are truly the best person to me. My former husband only knew how to bully me."

If you truly think I'm good, give me a fat little boy in the future.

The tip of his fingers grazed her skin satisfyingly, leaving Shen Qian feeling very uncomfortable, but she still acted coquettishly.

"Big Brother Xu, you're so mean!"

That tone was undeniably green tea, ginger wan listened with helplessness, and Song Jiuli's temper almost exploded.

Fortunately, everyone remembered Ginger's instructions and didn't act rashly. They only listened to Shen Qian shamelessly agree to become Xu Wei's wife.

The oxcart rumbled, and the last group of people was carried down. Xu Lirzheng stood solemnly before a stone wall at the foot of the mountain, addressing the crowd:

"This time we took a bigger risk, but as long as we succeed, everyone will be able to eat and clothe themselves without worry in the future."

"Come on, there's nothing adventurous about this. Whether it's a crowd or just a few people, it's all the same—a bag of sweat medicine."

“That's the point, anyway those few we caught before couldn't take it and they kicked the bucket. There's room inside for that many people.”

"Just keep him locked up for a few days without food, and he'll be well-behaved. Don't worry about it."

"Yes, adding medicine to the food. Who would have the strength to run"

"...."

"Alright, alright, let's stop talking and just get them inside first."

Xuli Zheng's heart was pounding. He felt something was off, a feeling he had never experienced before.

But he had no time to think of anything else. His aged hands pressed repeatedly against the stone wall, and the wall rumbled loudly.

Immediately, a large door slowly appeared before everyone's eyes. Inside, it was pitch black and bottomless, somewhat creepy.

"Stay here and wait patiently, I need to get some things done first."

Xu Wei pinched Shen Qian's face, "If you dare to run, don't blame me for making you go mining with me."

"No, I definitely will be a good girl."

Shen Qian shook her head frantically. She was quite self-aware in this regard; she, a young woman, couldn't possibly outrun these tall and strong men.

I don't know why, but Shen Qian even felt strangely relieved in her heart. If she really didn't have to be exiled, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

As for Song Chen and her family, she didn't care at all. What did they have to do with her

Before Shen Qian could finish her thoughts, she saw the dozen or so unconscious officials suddenly stand up.

And they were still holding big knives, looking fierce and menacing. This scared several villagers from Xujia Village.

Xu Li's eyes widened, "Wang Maz, didn't I tell you to take their weapons!"

His hand on the cane tightened slightly, a bad feeling gnawing at him. He knew the villagers well enough to sense when something was amiss.

"I... I forgot."

Wang Mazzi was so scared that his head felt dizzy. He had been so busy thinking about his wife's affairs that he hadn't even gotten a wife yet.

This time, he caught a lot of women. He wanted to ask the local official for a young woman, but he kept struggling with how to bring it up. As a result, he was negligent.

"You say you can't do anything right, and you still want to get married!"

Xu Lizheng was accusing Wang Mazizi with a guilty conscience, but he had already taken a few steps back, ready to run away at any moment.

As he said this, he also winked at Xu Wei. However, Xu Wei had a low IQ and didn't notice it.

He scowled and tried to intimidate the officers, "You bunch of fools, if you know what's good for you, just go in quietly."

He pointed to the dark hole, estimating that this was what they called a mine.

Even now, Xu Wei is still so confident. Jiang Wan couldn't help but laugh out loud. When she arrived, Song Jiubian and the others stopped pretending too.

"Ginger, you're faking it!"

Shen Qian was about to be furious. Just now, she thought Shen Qian was an idiot and was destined to dig for minerals underground for the rest of her life.

Only now did it dawn on him that Ginger had probably known the villagers' intentions all along.

Ginger winked at Xu, who looked pale and sickly. She smiled sweetly and clapped her hands together. "This is all thanks to you," she said.

"If you hadn't only given me a little bit of porridge on purpose, I wouldn't have woken up so quickly."

"Yes, just a small bite. I didn't expect it to save my life."

Song Jiuli glared at Shen Qian with glee, her heart filled with disdain. She had heard every word of their conversation with Xu Wei just now.

"Bastard!"

Xu Wei, in a fit of anger, kicked Shen Qian. He hadn't thought about these things before, just that they weren't a big deal.

Looking back, he wished he could kill Shen Qian and secretly hated himself for being blinded by lust. He then beat Shen Qian beside him viciously.

"Oh, I didn't mean to!"

Shen Qian, who was already nursing old wounds, was beaten again by Xu Wei. It was truly pitiful, but no one felt sorry for her.

After all, the officials had just witnessed Shen Qian's coquettish skills when she pretended to faint. It was sickening.

Ren Bang held a large knife in his hand, and with a cold face, he repeated Xu Wei's words.

"If you know what's good for you, just stay down there. Otherwise, swords and blades have no eyes, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Behind him, the officials each held a big sword, scaring Xu Wei into not daring to hit Shen Qian. He pulled his leg and ran towards Xu Lizheng.

"Grandpa!"

That look, he was so terrified that he wet his pants, a complete coward. He couldn't even protect himself. Shen Qian was frustrated and annoyed, she wished she hadn't agreed in the first place.

"My lord, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

Xu Lir Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and wanted to struggle some more, but Ren Bang was straightforward and didn't bother listening to his nonsense.

Enough talk, all of you just behave yourselves.

"Fear not, what are we afraid of They have knives and so do we. At worst, we die!"

“Yes, Lizi, wealth and honor come with risk. We can't retreat!”

"..."

Whether it's the young and middle-aged, they are still fantasizing about a bright future at this moment and seem to have not realized the gravity of the situation.

Xu Lizheng's head felt dizzy, with two little people battling inside his mind. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said:

OK, let's go for it!

After he finished speaking, with a single wave of his hand, a dozen young men charged towards Ren Bang and the others as if possessed. Of course, they also had weapons in their hands— crude swords and knives.

Ren Bang sneered, shaking the big knife in his hand, "You're out of your depth!"

"Jiūchí, you look after Lord Husband."

Ginger ran a few steps toward Ren Bang and shouted, "Brother Ren, let me go in and take a look first."

"Halt!"

Xu Lizheng saw Jiang Wan running towards Shimen, and hurried to stop her. However, before he could catch up, Xiaodeng pulled him back.

But Ginger didn't care about any of that. She entered Shimen, and taking advantage of the fact that no one outside could see her, she kicked up a gust of wind and quickly ran quite a distance.weren't quarreling, pretended not to notice.Yesterday's wolf incident left everyone feeling a bit drained. Today's journey was also clumsy, and even the officials couldn't muster up their spirits.Beca...
