Dream Broken You Pavilion

It is said that busyness can always dilute everything. For Shang Wuyang, this is indeed the case. Now he is all focused on mining.

On this day, he sent Deshun down the mountain. He watched the ten carriages full of ore escorted by thirty guards gradually go away.

This is already the fourth batch of ore transported from Fulong Mountain to Yangcheng. As the miners become more proficient in mining, the speed of mining is also accelerating.

Chang Yu from the iron smelting office in Beijing heard the news and sent someone up the mountain to find Shang Wuyang, wanting to place an order with him, but Shang Wuyang postponed the cooperation because the mining volume was not enough to support the delivery to the two iron smelting offices.

It's not that he doesn't have the ability to expand production, but that he always remembers Xiao Han's instructions, so he doesn't want to make the mining industry too big, and he doesn't want to have too many people due to mining on Fulong Mountain, which is not conducive to management. Thus bringing unnecessary trouble to Xiao Yuntian.

But since ancient times, nothing can truly be smooth sailing. No matter how cautious he is, misfortune and good fortune will always accompany him. Even if he takes precautions, he still cannot escape a catastrophe...

Two hours later, Deshun rushed up the mountain crazily, all the way to the study, saw Shang Wuyang and knelt down with a "plop".

Seeing Deshun go and come back, covered in blood, Shang Wuyang was stunned: "Deshun? Why are you back? You, why do you look like this? What happened?"

Deshun gasped heavily, wanting to cry, but said without tears: "Young, young master, we, we just went out for ten miles, and then, we encountered robbers."

"Rooters?"

Shang Wuyang turned pale with shock, and seeing Deshun's disfigured appearance with his helmet and armor thrown away, full of bruises, was definitely not fake, so he hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Who dares to rob my goods?"

"No, I don't know, they are all masked people in gray and black outfits, I don't know the way."

Shang Wuyang asked anxiously: "Where are the brothers?"

Deshun cried: "Brothers are desperately defending, but the other party has five or sixty people. We are outnumbered. We were, were robbed of five or five carts of ore."

"I'm asking about your brothers?" Shang Wuyang asked urgently.

Deshun replied: "Young master, thirty brothers, survived, only ten survived, and they were all injured. The robbers, the robbers, took five cars and ran away."

With a sound of "bang", Shang Wuyang was so angry that he punched the table, grabbed Liuyun with one hand, walked out quickly, and shouted loudly: "Come here, hurry up and call Geng Yu."

Shang Wuyang, Geng Yu and a hundred guards followed Deshun to the scene of the incident.

The incident happened on an official road about ten miles away from Fulong Mountain. Ten guards stood or sat on the ground with long swords in their hands. All of them were bruised. Ten dead guards had been neatly placed on the ground by them, but they did not see any enemy's corpse.

According to the guards, the enemy's wounded and dead bodies were taken away by them, and the direction of escape was northwest.

"What a cunning enemy!" Geng Yu gritted his teeth.

Shang Wuyang's face was livid, and he said: "This must be because we are afraid that we will find clues from them. Now it is difficult to find clues to these robbers."

Deshun said: "Should we report this matter to Ye Cheng immediately?"

Shang Wuyang said: "It must be reported, this is iron ore, the loss of iron ore is not trivial."

Deshun: "This subordinate will go immediately."

Shang Wuyang said: "Your injury is serious, take care of it first, I will go in person."

Deshun raised his hand to wipe away the tears from his face, and said: "Your subordinate should go first, Zhi Yecheng has a lot of contact with his subordinates, besides, the iron ore was lost in his hands, this subordinate should be ashamed. This little injury is nothing, I will go right away, young master take care." After saying that, he got on his horse and galloped away.

Shang Wuyang glanced around, there are low hillsides on both sides of the official road, dense trees on the hills cover the sky and the sun, if someone hides here, it is indeed difficult to detect.

The robbers were very cunning, not only took away the corpses and the wounded, but also the weapons used in the fierce battle, and there was no trace of the scarves on their bodies.

The iron ore carriage was very heavy, and the wheels left two deep wheel marks on the dirt road. Shang Wuyang immediately ordered 30 people to search for the robbers along the wheel marks.

Hijacking iron ore is a capital offense, but how dare these people hijack iron ore?Who are they?Where did the iron ore shipped away go?

He ordered Geng Yu to lead fifty guards to transport the five carts of iron ore to Yangcheng first, and talk to Boss Wang, and then he would make up the five carts and deliver them as soon as possible.He also ordered ten guards to take the wounded back to Fulong Mountain.

He himself took ten guards to investigate the scene carefully, hoping to find clues.Judging from their escape route, the bloodstains went all the way to the northwest, but suddenly disappeared after only two miles, Shang Wuyang had no choice but to go back.

A guard who was searching in the woods ran out, holding two objects in his hands, and said loudly: "Young Master, look, I found these in the woods."

Shang Wuyang took it over and took a look, and suddenly a gleam of hope turned into ashes, and said: "It's just an ordinary farmer's hatchet and basket for chopping firewood. Maybe someone discarded it and threw it here. Then, take it with you first." Let's go back."

"Yes."

After checking the scene over and over again, they couldn't find any clues about the robbers, so they had to return to Fulong Mountain first.

Two hours later, the guards who went to track down the robbers also returned to the mountain one after another.

The guard reported: "Young master, I followed the wheel marks for only twenty miles, and saw five carriages parked by the side of the road. The carriages and horses were all there, but the iron ore in the carriages was gone, and there were some broken pieces scattered on the ground. The ore should have been transferred by the robbers. I walked another ten miles, but I didn’t see any traces of the robbers, so I had to bring the carriage back first and report back.”

Shang Wuyang only felt dizzy and dizzy. He closed his eyes for a while and was speechless. After a long time, Fang slowly said:

"Go down and rest."

The guard said worriedly: "Young master, you..."

"Go down."

"Yes."

Not long after the guards left, Mrs. Shang Qi and Man Luo rushed over and asked what happened, and they couldn't help but feel worried.

Man Luo pondered for a moment, and said, "Master, Man Luo thinks this is not an ordinary robber."

Shang Wuyang asked: "Why did Aunt Fang say that?"

Man Luo said: "Will ordinary robbers do this matter so tightly? You see, it is clearly a battlefield for fighting, but they can remove all the corpses and wounded in an orderly retreat, and transfer them halfway. They can clean up the iron ore in a car in a short time, since they have more people than us and can take away five cars, why don’t they take away all ten cars?”

Shang Wuyang groaned silently.

Man Luo asked again: "How did they send them away after they were transported? Where did they go? What did they use to carry them away? Could it be carried by hand? Even if there are hundreds of people, one person and one basket can't finish it. Where did they move to?" Already? Young master, this is the strange thing."

Mrs. Shang Qi said: "Yang'er, what Xi Yue said is right, if you care about it, you will be confused. You have to calm down and think about it."

Shang Wuyang took a breath and said: "That's right, judging from all the signs, it's definitely not what ordinary robbers did. Could it be that someone deliberately harmed me? If someone deliberately harmed me, then who is he?"

Man Luo said: "Iron ore is no different than other ores. The loss of iron ore, young master, your crime is not small. I'm afraid the thief may not want your iron ore, but he just wants to use it to take your life, young master."

Mrs. Shang Qi said urgently: "Xi Yue, if what you say is true, what should I do?"

Shang Wuyang said: "Deshun has already reported this matter to Zhi Yecheng, let's take the initiative to report it first, so as not to lose people's tongue."

Man Luo said: "This behavior is not like that of a thief. Young master, you need to be careful. This matter is not as simple as throwing a little iron ore."

Mrs. Shang Qi said: "Do you want to tell General Xiao?"

Shang Wuyang said: "This is a big matter, I must tell you."

Turning around to the table, he took a note and wrote a few words, then handed it over to the guard and immediately passed the letter to General Xiao Zizhan.

In the middle of the night, Deshun, who had gone to Zhiyecheng's office in Yangcheng to report the letter, hurried back.

Shang Wuyang asked: "What did Zhi Yecheng say?"

Deshun said: "Zhi Yecheng notified the government, and the government will send people to the place where the incident happened to seal it off. Zhi Yecheng said that the loss of iron ore is a major case, and the government has sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the iron ore. The lord of the state government said that tomorrow I have to ask you to go to the Yangcheng government office with your subordinates in person."

"Fuya?" Shang Wuyang frowned, and after a while, said: "Understood, you have worked hard."

Deshun knelt down on his knees, his bloodshot eyes were slightly red, and he said guiltily, "Young Master, it's because my subordinates are not good at doing things, and my subordinates are guilty."

Shang Wuyang said: "Deshun, what are you guilty of? If someone really wants to put me to death, they will definitely kill me, how can you resist? Get up quickly."

Deshun was weeping, knelt down and got up, Shang Wuyang sighed softly, pulled him up, and said: "Don't feel guilty, this matter is not about you alone, but about my little Yuntian, and it is about me, Shang Wuyang. About Yang, tomorrow you have to rush to Yangcheng with me, you go down to treat the wound first, take a good rest, go."

Shang Wuyang comforted him with kind words, and Deshun wiped away his tears.

As soon as Deshun left, Gao Liang flashed in.

Shang Wuyang said: "Why haven't you rested yet?"

With a dark face, Gao Liang said: "You haven't rested until now, Gao Liang is worried, I heard it just now, young master, why don't I go with you tomorrow."

Shang Wuyang shook his head: "It's okay, don't worry, I'm the victim after all, what else can they do to me? However, I don't know when I will come back. Listen, if someone really wants to kill me, After I leave, it's hard to guarantee that no one will attack Fulong Mountain, so you have to guard Xiao Yuntian and Fulong Mountain, understand?"

Gao Liang raised his forehead and said: "Gao Liang understands, Gao Liang is in Xiao Yuntian, but Xiao Yuntian is not, I will come to see Gao Liang."

Shang Wuyang raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. After I leave, I still have to mine on the mountain, so send five carts of ore to Boss Wang as soon as possible. point."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."
