News Of Jiang Dazhuang
Song Chengbing saw at a glance that Lu Cijian was not quite right.
Although he had been frowning for the past few days, he would occasionally smile, especially inexplicably touching his lips and smiling.
This was also the first time he felt that his cold and aloof disciple was like a fool.
But today, the low atmospheric pressure around him was so cold that it could freeze a person to death, and he involuntarily shivered.
Putting down the teacup, he lightly coughed, “The person you brought back has woken up, but he is somewhat weak, and may faint again at any time. If you have any questions, you should…” quickly go and ask.
Before he finished speaking, Lu Cijian had already gotten up and left, walking towards the outside of the house.
Song Chengbing only found it funny, shook his head, and silently followed.
In his heart, he had begun to look forward to seeing the unknown Jiang Girl.
Only the Jiang Girl could make his disciple, who usually didn’t care about anything, so urgent.
The two walked in silence to a quiet small courtyard. As soon as they entered, they could smell a strong medicinal smell.
Inside the house, there was a weak male voice, screaming in terror, “You, who are you? Why am I here? Don’t try to take me away to do hard labor again. I, I won’t go. Apricot Flower Village, I want to go back to Apricot Flower Village.”
Song Xiaowu looked at the man who suddenly went mad in front of him, and was at a loss for a moment. Just as he was about to speak to comfort him, he saw the Master and the Young Master walk in together.
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, “Master, Young Master, this man may be mentally ill.”
Clearly, when they brought the man back that day, although he was half-conscious, he at least didn’t show the current situation.
Lu Cijian frowned and was about to ask a doctor to come and take a look.
The pale-faced, unshaven man on the bed suddenly screamed again, his whole body curled up in the corner, muttering to himself, “No, I don’t want to go back, I don’t want to go mining, I don’t want to be beaten to death, I don’t want to be buried in the mine.
Help, help, save me.”
Lu Cijian immediately walked over and quickly asked, “Which mine?”
The middle-aged man, however, continued to repeat the words in his mouth, completely ignoring the questions from the people around him.
Lu Cijian only asked again, “Do you know Jiang Dazhuang? Where is he now?”
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man, who had been somewhat delirious, suddenly widened his eyes and cried out in pain, “It’s, it’s my fault, I couldn’t bring Dazhuang out, it’s all my fault, it’s all my fault, Dazhuang is still in that cannibalistic place.
Dazhuang, Dazhuang, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, ah, I’m sorry.”
After the middle-aged man finished his lament, perhaps because he was too emotional, he fell directly onto the bed and fainted again.
Lu Cijian immediately said, “Xiaowu, go get a doctor.”
Song Xiaowu quickly ran out, and after a while, he brought an old person in.
Lu Cijian and Song Chengbing retreated outside the house.
Lu Cijian only frowned, thinking about what the man in the house had said. Although some of it was nonsense, if there was any truth, there was still a lot worth pondering.
For example, the mine mentioned by that man.
Nowadays, in the Great Jin, the places where gold mines and iron mines have been opened are heavily guarded by the Imperial Court, and the miners are either serious criminals or those who have been exiled to do hard labor.
Those people have no chance of escaping, and the Imperial Court will not let those people leave.
But the man in the house, he had checked specifically, was an ordinary honest man, and had not done anything heinous.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to be taken to mine by the Imperial Court, so which mine was he referring to?
Besides the mines controlled by the Imperial Court, someone dared to mine privately.
Song Chengbing obviously also thought of this possibility, and only frowned and said, “If someone really dares to mine privately, this matter is very serious, we must investigate it clearly and report it to the Emperor.”
If it was just some ordinary prominent families mining to earn money, the Imperial Court would at most confiscate the mines and their property, and they could still spare the prominent families’ lives.
But if there were other intentions, it was uncertain.
Lu Cijian responded, saying only, “Where did our people find this person?”
Song Chengbing thought for a while before saying, “Last time you said that Jiang Dazhuang might be within the range of other forces, and our people couldn’t find him.
So, I specifically ordered people to go to several places to check, especially in the territory of the Chu Prince, but there was still no news of Jiang Dazhuang.
I thought he was probably dead, and was about to tell you, when someone suddenly discovered Liu Changsong in Pingjiang County.”
After initially failing to find Jiang Dazhuang, they checked Apricot Flower Village again. Although their memories were somewhat distant, they did find out some things.
That year, not only Jiang Dazhuang disappeared, but also three others from Apricot Flower Village who went out to work together.
Liu Changsong was one of them.
But because these people’s families originally did not have many relatives, after learning that their sons and husbands had disappeared, those people either remarried or died of grief, and were quickly forgotten.
But the Jiang Family was different. The Jiang Family still had people looking for Jiang Dazhuang, so many people in the village still remembered the disappearance.
But a famine last year resulted in many casualties in Apricot Flower Village. It really took some effort to investigate.
With great difficulty, they found out that more than just Jiang Dazhuang had disappeared, but none of the people who knew about it appeared, and those people, like Jiang Dazhuang, seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Just when they were frowning, the people from Pingjiang County suddenly said that they had found a person from Apricot Flower Village, and Song Chengbing immediately sent someone to bring him back. On the way, they learned from several other people from Apricot Flower Village that this person was Liu Changsong.
Lu Cijian nodded, carefully recalling whether there were any mountains suitable for mining near Pingjiang County. He thought for a long time but couldn’t think of any.
Pingjiang County is only half a day’s journey from the Capital. If there were any mountains, they should have been discovered by the Imperial Court long ago. How could they be preempted by others?
This matter is really strange.
Song Chengbing couldn’t figure out the mining matter either. Subconsciously, he felt that Liu Changsong must be talking nonsense, and didn’t know what he had experienced, becoming delirious. Everything needs to wait until he wakes up before they can know everything.
Just as he was thinking, the doctor and Song Xiaowu came out of the room.
The doctor sighed and said helplessly, “This man has gone mad because he has lived in fear and terror for a long time. It’s difficult to make him sober again, unless…”
Song Chengbing quickly said, “Unless what? This man must be sober.”
If at first he cared about this person only because of his good disciple’s sweetheart’s request, now it was no longer just that.
Regardless of the truth of the mine matter, he had to find out.
The doctor thought for a while before saying, “Unless this person is stimulated again, or completely relaxed.”
He himself was not sure if this method would work, but if he only wanted the man in the room to temporarily regain a little clarity, he could try.
