"Then why didn't you tell the government instead of telling this woman? She is not from our village, nor does she seem to be from the government?" The meat stall owner was very puzzled.
"Don't you understand this?" the breakfast stall owner said in a low voice, "Didn't you see her coming down from the mountain this morning? Maybe her man is working as a miner on the mountain. What I just said She must understand what I mean! When she goes back, she will naturally tell the man about it, so I don’t need to make a special trip. "
"Look at the weather, it will snow from time to time, and the road to the Yamen is not easy to walk!" The stall owner looked disgusted, "I don't have to go to town recently, and I don't want to make a special trip."
"But we can't even say this!" said the meat stall owner.
"That's right! So didn't I ask that woman to speak for us? We can just wait here. We don't have to go there ourselves..."
As they walked farther away, their words gradually became less clear.
Su Liuye's eyes darkened slightly. What they said was nothing more than pushing her out as a scapegoat.
The miner's escape is a very serious matter. Once something goes wrong, many people will be implicated. The two aunts were unwilling to bear the consequences, but if they knew about it and failed to report it, they would still be implicated in the investigation afterwards.
The best way is to push the matter out and find someone willing to take responsibility.
The only choice is her.
Su Liuye narrowed her eyes and looked back at the two aunts, but they were busy whispering to each other and didn't see her at all.
"Mrs. Chu!"
A call interrupted her thoughts.
Su Liuye followed the sound and saw Mrs. A Niu coming out of the house and walking towards this side quickly, "The person Mr. Chu was photographing has already arrived. You should go back and take a look first! If there is anything you need help with, please feel free to contact us at any time." You can tell me that as long as you can help, A Niu and I will definitely not refuse."
"Sister-in-law Aniu, don't say that, I want to thank you all this time." Su Liuye said, looking worriedly at the entrance of the village, "Sister-in-law Aniu, the girl who will be with me later If she comes back, just ask her to find me in the mine."
"Okay, Mrs. Chu, just don't worry."
Aniu's wife solemnly agreed.
After Su Liuye followed her, she saw two people dressed as officers and soldiers standing in the yard. When they saw her coming, the two officers and soldiers immediately stepped forward to confirm their identity with her.
Seeing that there was no problem, one of them said, "Mrs. Chu, please come with us. Mr. Chu asked us to pick you up."
"Okay, let's go back now."
Su Liuye would naturally not refuse.
After saying goodbye to Uncle A Niu and the others, Su Liuye followed them back along the trail. Fortunately, it didn't snow much during the day and the weather wasn't as cold as at night. They walked on the road for half an hour before going back.
Su Liuye was already a little hungry, but thinking of what happened this morning, she still asked the officers and soldiers to call Chu Yan over immediately and tell him everything she knew.
Chu Yan, still wearing the black robe, reached out to help her walk into the house. Hearing her words, Chu Yan frowned, "Did anyone see them leaving this morning?"
"Yes, they are from the small village at the foot of the mountain. They said they saw them when they were setting up a stall in the morning, and they even got on the carriage!" Su Liuye raised her eyes and looked at the man beside her, "Husband, what did you say about the carriage? Is the person on the list the one who took care of them?"
Those miners who dare to do this will naturally have support.
Su Liuye just couldn't understand why they were doing these things at this time.
"A Liu, don't worry about these things for now. Go back to your room and have a good rest." Chu Yan looked down at her, glancing back from the corner of his eye as if to hint at something.
Su Liuye was stunned and followed his gaze to find that there were several miners standing there. Chu Yan said this because he was worried that these miners would hear him?
Su Liuye responded, putting on a submissive look, "Okay, I'm tired too, so I'll go back and rest first."
"good."
Chu Yan's hand on her waist moved slightly and made a small movement, which seemed to be hinting at something.
Su Liuye nodded slightly and returned to the room, but did not close the door completely, leaving a gap the width of a finger, just enough for her to see the situation outside.
From here, she could clearly see Chu Yan chatting with several miners outside. Some looked nervous, while others looked confused and confused, not knowing what was going on.
After Chu Yan explained a few words, he let the others go first, leaving only three people in the yard looking at each other.
One of the older ones asked Chu Yan cautiously, "Mr. Chu, what happened? Why didn't I see the three brothers from the Li family this morning?"
"Old Lin, don't you know what happened?"
The shrewd man looking at him rolled his eyes at him, then walked up to Chu Yan while rubbing his hands, "Mr. Chu, those people are definitely not good people! I have long seen that they are sneaking around in the mine all day long. You are just looking around, you are not serious about your work at all! Mr. Chu, as long as you say a word, I will go get you back immediately!"
"Li Laosan, what do you know? Don't talk nonsense here!" The third man who looked the most steady stopped him. After thinking for a moment, he said to Chu Yan, "Mr. Chu, there are many more in the mine. There are things waiting for me to take care of, so I’ll leave first.”
"Hey! What are you doing? Didn't you see that Mr. Chu wanted to find out the matter?" Li Laosan was very angry.
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to please Chu Yan, but others did not cooperate and left immediately.
"What can you know?" Zhou Shan looked back at him, with a cold expression filled with contempt.
He has been in and out of the mine since he was a child, and now he is an old man in the mine. He can still distinguish some things clearly.
A miner is lost in the mine, which is a very serious matter in itself. Li Laosan went to Chu Yan to talk nonsense in order to get a higher position. He really didn't know how to live or die!
He won't get involved in such a thing.
"You—" Li Laosan glared at him angrily, not expecting this man to be so disrespectful to him.
After all, they had been in the mine together for several years. Zhou Shan actually said that to him. What a pretentious hypocrite!
"Mr. Chu, I'm leaving first."
Zhou Shan cupped his hands, turned around and left, not wanting to stay here and waste time with Li Laosan.
Li Laosan was so angry that he originally wanted to drag Zhou Shan along to say a few more words in front of Chu Yan. In this mine, Zhou Shan's words were more convincing than him, but now he left directly, completely Don't give him face.
"Old Lin, come here and talk!"
Fortunately there is another person here!
