Chapter 180 Grief and Anger
"You blame me for being a traitor! You scold me for stealing from my employer! You hate me for enriching myself! But my whole family has been arrested, so where are you?!
"I have been staying in the Flame Mountain for many years, and have persisted in such a difficult environment for seventy years! I have devoted a full seventy years to the sect!
"As a result, my family members were coerced even though they were under the sect's supervision!
“Is it my fault that things turned out like this?
"You blame me! Who else can I blame?!"
As they were talking, a fierce battle broke out in an interrogation room, breaking the door and creating a big hole in the protective formation.
A flaming spear pierced the white jade pillar opposite with a "bang", and instantly turned it black.
Wei Wenxin only felt a flash before his eyes, and Uncle Qingfeng had disappeared.
The Law Enforcement Hall is located in the heart of the sect, and there are no less than eight supreme elders in charge of the sect all year round.
Even though I know it's impossible to escape, I still do it, purely to vent.
It seems that he is really depressed.
The man was quickly restrained, but angry words continued to be heard:
"I hate! I hate you! I hate the jinx named Wei!
"Hahaha! One night! Just one night! With that damn mining machine, all it takes is a little cannon fodder in the Qi Refining Stage! He can dig out more than ten tons! More than ten tons of black iron essence!
"Who wouldn't be tempted? Ah? Tell me? If one has the ability, who wouldn't take the risk?
“No matter how difficult mining was in the past, at least we could live a stable life!
"Because if you are not a fool, you won't have the idea of taking over the mine!
“In the end you insisted on doing this!
“I have to!
"What can I do? Can a little bit of ore be more important than my life and the lives of my family?!
"I don't agree!"
It has been many years since anyone has called her names and scolded her like this.
Wei Wen was stunned and didn't know what to think for a moment.
Soon, the door of the interrogation room was repaired and the soundproofing formation was restored. Wei Wenxin stood in the corridor, feeling very confused.
Poor Bai Ze had just been released, and before he could stand firmly, he found himself being picked up by someone and his back was being touched again and again.
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, it remained silent.
Wei Wen's mood was in turmoil and she really wanted to rush in and argue with them, but she knew very well that it was meaningless to do so.
A piece of light yellow talisman paper appeared out of thin air in front of him. He picked it up and used his spiritual sense to check it. It was a sound transmission talisman sent by Du Zhen.
[Big sister, come to the floating platform, get ready to go! ]
Wei Wenxin then remembered that he had promised his great-grandmaster Minglu that he would go with him to inspect the sect's mines.
He hurriedly took Ling Cang out of the white tower and flew straight to the floating platform on his sword.
It was just the beginning of the morning light, and the rising sun was slowly climbing up behind the dark mountains in the distance.
The mountains are filled with spiritual mist, and the distant mountains are deep and light blue and gray...
She had been looking at the mountain scenery for countless years, but today she felt particularly depressed.
Last night was a thrilling night for the Wanjian Sect.
One after another, the sound transmission notes were transmitted through the Wanjian Sect's communication network to every place under its jurisdiction.
Whether fast or slow, the reply came back before dawn.
Our ancestors always said that if you find a soul-eating termite in a corner, then they must have bred several nests in places you can't see.
If not handled properly, the house will be in danger of collapse.
as predicted.
Problems have been discovered in mines across the country.
Some people rented out their extra mining machines to other mining farms, some took the mining machines out to do private work, and some even made an appointment with powerful independent cultivators, pretended to be robbed to get kickbacks, and then reported the damage to the sect. The one who was the most skilled in operation even received a consolation fund from the sect and had a full month of paid rest...
Wei Wenxin heard all these things from Du Zhen after he boarded the warship and joined the main force.
"My master's eyes turned red with anger last night, and the group of vicious people in the war hall set out to arrest people overnight."
Du Zhen sighed deeply and wrinkled his square face, looking very funny.
Wei Wenxin didn't smile.
She is in a bad mood now.
This warship is the sect's fastest official warship, with a large fixed round table in the middle. Taoist Minglu took the materials collected by Du Zhen and was looking at them carefully with a frown.
Wooden boxes were placed on the table, stacked half a person high. The lid of the top layer was open, revealing grids covered with brocade and standard jade slips inserted vertically inside.
In addition, there are many pictures and paper documents drawn on the skins of spiritual animals.
The paper documents were piled up in a pile, and the animal skins were rolled up, tied with red ribbons, and inserted into a large porcelain vase.
Two of them were spread out, one on the table and one on the lap of Minglu Daozun. Wei Wenxin was extremely depressed after hearing all the new things about the sect from Du Zhen.
"Tell me, did I do something wrong?"
So many things have happened because of this mining machine!
The miners have lost their livelihoods and have had an extremely difficult time in recent years. Protests and marches have broken out in various places...
Because the profits brought by the mining machine were so great, the sect suppressed it and protected her very well, so she always believed that the benefits of this invention outweighed the disadvantages, and she often felt proud of it.
Now that the disaster was really happening before her, she began to doubt herself.
Is it really a good thing to come up with this thing?
In her imagination, people would no longer have to mine, and they would be relieved and could do other things.
Liberating productivity and improving people's happiness in life is a great good deed.
But we forget that there are many people in this world who can do nothing but mining.
How can they survive?
You can't blame them for not working hard, can you?
Another thing is that the benefits that this thing can bring are really huge.
Just as the red-browed person in charge said, mining was difficult in the past. Even if robbers were rampant, they could only watch helplessly without the manpower and resources.
At most we can think of some way to transport the ore.
Now you can dig it yourself easily.
Therefore, risky things will definitely continue to happen.
"Every reform is accompanied by pain. It is not easy to step out of your comfort zone, change your existing habits, and adapt to new things. You have to look at this issue correctly."
Master Qingxu was polishing his sword by the window. When Wei Wenxin came in, he noticed that she was in a bad mood and couldn't help but give her some advice.
Wei Wenxin sighed, found a seat next to the round table and sat down.
"I used to advise myself in the same way. I advised myself that things are neither good nor bad, and that different people will naturally have different effects when they get them. But I really don't want to cause so much chaos."
"Don't worry about such trivial matters. Just follow your heart. When you live to my age, you will know whether it is good or bad. Come and see if the patrol route set by the old man is appropriate."
Minglu is very experienced in taking care of children.
I think about this and that all day long, worrying about this and that, and I have constant inner demons. I am just wasting my time.
I am so exhausted all day long that I just want to fall asleep. How can I have the time to spare?
Wei Wenxin’s eyes widened immediately!
He was lying on the table, patting the piles of paper documents, and his voice changed: "I have to sort these out by myself??"
When inspecting a mine, it is essential to find out the ore reserves. It is also necessary to find out the background and interpersonal relationships of the main person in charge, as well as the amount of ore that has been mined, the past personnel arrangements, etc.
The information on a single mine was already very large, and they needed to inspect more than a thousand mines this time...
How can I have the time to think about anything else?
Taoist Minglu brewed a pot of tea, took a sip from the long spout, and let out a long "ang".
"I'm so old, and I still have to work so hard. Don't I need to get some sleep later? Xiao Zhen didn't sleep all night, and his eye sockets are dark. Don't you need to get some sleep? You are young and strong. If you don't do these things, are you going to be idle?"
Wei Wenxin was suddenly speechless.
Du Zhen looked to the left, then to the right, and said cautiously:
"It's a little messy... time was tight, so I could only make a copy of each record."
After saying that, he immediately yawned loudly.
Everyone at the main peak was busy all night last night, but they could only do simple copying.
Extracting key information requires further processing.
Wei Wenxin seriously suspected that if he hadn't shared the news with her, he would have fallen asleep while standing there.
"Go to bed!"
Seeing him turn around and go back to the cabin without hesitation, Wei Wenxin added quietly: "Wake up early and get up to work early. I get a headache just looking at these things!"
Du Zhen had a good relationship with her and spoke to her casually.
Hearing her say that, he immediately rolled his eyes: "You are stealing Master Qingxu's words!"
"You know nothing! This is called learning from the wise!"
Taoist Qingxu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Halfway through laughing, his expression suddenly froze, and he pushed open the window and flew out!
Counting on my fingers, I don’t think I’ve had a single holiday since the Chinese New Year. I saved up the manuscript in February and published it in March. It didn’t pass the review, so I saved up the manuscript for another month. I published this one in April, and then updated it on time every day. I perfectly avoided Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and Dragon Boat Festival. Hiss—even I admire myself.
