The conversation was divided, but the Xu brothers were captured by the Kunlun slaves shortly after they left Songjiang City.

That night, the group of human traffickers arrived at the agreed location and opened the box to be sold, and then they were stunned to find that the two Kunlun slaves had turned gray and white.

"Scared, why are you still fading?" The human teeth were stunned.

As soon as the mud was dry, it turned from black to grayish white. The fool could see that they had caught the fake.

They were so angry that they punched and kicked each other, and they made the brothers' urine come out.

Middle-aged men are not worth a lot of money. If they weren’t for their special skin color, who would have tied them up?

Although the rich people in the Ming Dynasty were not short of people serving each other, they envied the scholars and officials of the Tang and Song dynasties who had Hu Ji Kunlun slaves around them.

However, the country banned the sea and Kunlun slaves were extremely rare, so the price naturally became higher.

But unexpectedly, these professionals actually fell into a slight look and transported two fake goods like babies for dozens of miles!

In awe of shame, someone wanted to chop up the two useless kids. Fortunately, Xu Fan's gag cloth was knocked off and he hurriedly shouted: "Good man, please spare me, we can pay the ransom!"

Hearing this, the head of the man-teacher drank his subordinates and ordered Xu Ban to explain the origin and why he pretended to be a Kunlun slave with bare butt.

Of course, Xu Fan would not say that he was the former Prime Minister and the grand third-rank Xiao Jiuqing... Well, they wouldn't believe it anyway.

He said true and falsely that he was a wealthy businessman living in Changxing. On the way to Songjiang Mansion, he encountered robbery. Not only was his property robbed, but his clothes were also stripped of clean.

As for why my whole body is black, it's just a shame...

Hearing the people laughed loudly, he felt that these two guys were really unlucky, and they just got robbed and ran into them again.

Xu Fan took the opportunity to say that he could take them to Changxing to get the silver, and give them as much as they want, as long as they could save their brother's life.

When several people saw that although he had bare butt, he spoke very well and was fat and fat, he saw that he was a rich man. He believed his words.

The human teeth leader was cruel and cruel, and he wanted ten thousand taels.

Xu Fan pretended to be very painful, and after a while of a tangle, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

He is not as stingy as he is, but he knows that if he says too much, the other party will not believe it, and it may cause death.

Sure enough, his reaction made the two brothers treat him as treasures, but he didn't feel the pressure to provoke the big shots.

The man's teeth were washed out by his brothers, and then he got them clothes and food.

The two brothers who escaped from death put on their clothes and ate them voraciously, feeling like they were surviving from death.

The next day, the man-teacher found another mule cart and tied his two brothers to the cart. He also sat beside him and monitored with a knife. The guys drove the mule cart to Changxing County.

It's actually more than 200 miles away, and it's actually more comfortable to take a boat, but these people are all Taihu water bandits. They have long scared the Taihu security team of Jinke and dared not walk from Taihu Lake at all.

I couldn't walk on Taihu Lake, I could have walked on the river channel. However, Huzhou polder fields were very strong, and the river channel was dismembered by the Ligang Dam, and the water flow was extremely slow. When people from other places rowed, they followed the maze array, and they couldn't drive it out if they didn't do it well.

So they walked the dry road honestly, traveling seventy or eighty miles a day, and they arrived in three days.

In the past three days, in order to increase the chance of survival, the Xu brothers tried their best to make their personal teeth dizzy... They said that they not only would not hold grudges, but they were also grateful to the hero for saving his brother and in danger.

He also said that the two brothers always admire the heroes of Green Forest the most, and the chaos in the Ming Dynasty has emerged, just like the end of the Sui Dynasty, it is the time for the heroes to show their skills!

Xu Fan expressed his hope to become brothers with him. He also said that after becoming sworn brothers, he would not be a human trafficker. The three brothers followed Liu Guanzhang, recruited soldiers and trained local tyrants to wait for the changes of the world.

"A real man should raise a three-foot green edge. Only when he fails to achieve great achievements can he live up to his life!" After a generous speech by the former deputy ministerial official, he finally made the man's teeth excited!

The head of the man immediately loosened the two of them, and then asked his subordinates to find a land temple on the side of the road to prepare for swornship with them.

Taking advantage of the time when the human teeth went to find a rooster, Xu Ying whispered: "It's past. What are our identities? Becoming a sworn brother with your personal teeth? Insulting your ancestors..."

Xu Fan glanced at Xu Ying and lowered his voice: "If that's not the case, what should he do if he took the money to tear the ticket?"

"Uh..." Xu Ying didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

"Survival first, and then kill them all, naturally no one knows what we have done." After Xu Fan said that, he continued to discuss recruiting soldiers and horses with the head.

After a while, the chicken came. The three of them cut the chicken's head, burned yellow paper, and knocked one head on the ground, becoming sworn brothers of different surnames.

"Brother!"

"Second brother!"

"Third brother!"

Three pairs of hands, holding each other tightly, swearing that they will never be separated from each other again.

Of course, brothers belong to brothers, money belongs to money. People still have to go to Changxing and only then can they be convinced by getting real money.

So I continued to set off and entered Changxing County that day.

In that room, Mr. Zhao and his party walked more than ten miles along Hexi, crossing a mountain. Everyone saw a cheerful look, and a basin appeared under their feet.

"Young Master, after leaving this dike, it is Guangdezhou." Jin Ke reported calmly.

The dike is a basin surrounded by mountains.

Zhao Hao sat on a rock, panting and then smiled with a pale face: "Then we're almost here."

The reason why he is so sure is that Changguang Coal Mine is very strange, known as "ground Anhui pipes, underground Zhejiang digging", so he has a deep memory of the Changguang Coal Mine is located on the junction of these two places, and most of them are in Guangde.

"Go and ask, have the villagers seen charcoal?"

Changguang Coal Mine is a large open-pit mine, and this area is quite densely populated, so someone must have seen coal blocks.

When Zhao Hao ate dry food on the mountain, recovered his strength, and went down the mountain to inquire about the news, the coal mining master came back.

The coal mining master reported to the young master that the mountain ridge they were in was called Grape Ridge, and there were three villages in the basin at the foot of the mountain, namely Chang'e, Ruo'e and Huashu'e... Ku'e means the valley between the mountains, and Zhao Hao feels so.

Several people went to investigate in the three villages separately. The villagers had indeed seen black charcoal. However, in the densely-wooded mountains, these things were really worthless and no one picked them up, let alone digging them, so no one knew where there was a mine.

Of course, coal mining masters have a set of tricks to find ore.

But they were unwilling to show their own ability to eat in front of so many people.

Secondly, the ore veins are not something you can find. At least you have to search all the Niutou Mountains in total, and it will not be completed in just a few months.

Chapter 89

Furthermore, those outsiders dig holes and searching everywhere on the mountain, which can easily attract the suspicion of residents, believing that they are here to destroy Feng Shui. At the very least, they will be reported to the officials, and at the worst, they will be arrested and killed, and bury them in the wilderness. It is not impossible.

Zhao Hao thought about it and felt that their concerns were reasonable. Anyway, the mine was here and it would not run away with feet. At this moment, he would not be in a hurry to go back and prepare and then go to prospect.

Zhao Hao doesn't need to worry about these trivial matters. Jiangnan Group has a strong public relations team, and the Pan family and Xiang family have a strong influence in Huzhou.

By the way, before Wu Chengen was imprisoned, he was the magistrate of Changxing. He also led the people of Changxing to Hangzhou to petition... Although he was intercepted and visited halfway, his prestige in the local area can be seen.

Zhao Hao decided to let Wu Chengen be responsible for lobbying after he went back, and took the opportunity to invest in the Xiang family in the coal mine. He believed that the government, gentry and people here would be settled soon.

The group rushed out of the mountain, got on the boat and rowed desperately, and finally arrived at the south gate of Changxing County before the city gate was closed.

It was just that coincidental that the Xu brothers also brought their teeth to the south gate of the county town, but the former was walking at the water gate, while the former was walking at the dry gate.

On the carriage, Liu Zhun, the head of the man, looked at the official outside through the car window, with a nervous expression.

Human teeth usually do not enter the city because they commit crimes outside the city, and the chances of being arrested are much lower. This time they have to go to the city to get money, so they are naturally very cautious. They deliberately chose to enter the city before the city gate was closed, so people were in a hurry to enter the city, and officials did not have time to investigate, which was the safest.

"It's good if you feel at ease. The city gate recognizes money but not people. Give them dozens of dollars, and don't care who you are." Xu Fan looked relaxed, but in fact he was very nervous. He knew that the more he was in the end, the easier it would be for the kidnappers to lose their mentality, so he spared no effort to give him a psychological massage.

"What my second brother said is that it's the eldest brother who is in the face." The head of the human teeth smiled embarrassedly, pointed to his right eyelid and said, "The main reason is that the eyelids here are always twitching."

"In our Changxing, we have the right eye to make money." Xu Ying hurriedly comforted: "Brother, this is following the customs."

"Hahaha, my third brother is really good at speaking, and my second brother is even more so." The head of the man finally relaxed and laughed happily: "You Changxing people are all talented people, and they speak nicely. I like this place very much."

"Then let's stay. Our family is the eldest brother's home. The three of us will never be separated!" Xu Fan said intimately.

"Yes, from now on, we will eat at the same table and sleep with the same bed." Xu Ying also said intimately.

"Second brother, third brother." He moved his teeth and burst into tears, feeling that he had never been so warm before.

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

Xu Fan and Xu Ying also stretched out their hands excitedly, holding their hands tightly together.

As expected, after paying 100 literati heads, the soldiers guarding the gate were directly released, and there was no investigation at all.

The human teeth let go of the hands holding the sharp knife in their arms and surrounded the carriage and headed towards the Xu family's house in the county.

On the other side, the boat Zhao Hao was riding also approached the shore at Chengguan Wharf.

On the pier, the civilians of Changxing County, wearing blue clothes, blocked the entire section of the pier. Several men wearing lake silk robes and extraordinary demeanor were waiting.

Seeing Gao Wu's eye-catching burly figure, one of them said happily: "Here, come!"

Only then did Zhao Hao realize that these people were here to welcome him.

However, Secretary Ma was not around, and he couldn't remember who the other party was.

Alas, there is no way, who has let me see too many people?

Still Jin Ke whispered and reminded from the side: "The one who talks about is Pan Zhongcheng's third brother."

"Oh." Zhao Hao nodded slightly, remembering. Pan Jixun's three elder brothers, named Pan Boxiang, were once the magistrate, and he was old and had difficulty in legs and feet, so he stopped going out.

The second brother Pan Zhongqin was born in a Hanlin editor. Unfortunately, he was demoted to the magistrate of Yan Song and resigned early and went home to teach his children and nephews to study. Now he was abducted by Zhao Hao to Yufeng Academy and serve as the executive vice president. More than a dozen children of the Pan family have also entered the academy or elementary school.
