Chapter 862

As far as Zhang Heng is concerned, there is no doubt that binota mine is in trouble.

The gate of the mine is locked, and there is no car to transport ore in and out. Even the guards who patrol around the mine to prevent nearby farmers from stealing ore are missing.

Dekius, with an expression I knew would be like this, said, "as I said, Cobb has no reason to cheat us, and it's not good for him to do so."

"Which side are you, my friend?" Zhang Heng looked back at daijiwusi and asked.

"Well?"

"Because if you want to finish your work on time and get the bronze statues finished on time, you'd better pray that Cobb cheated you on this."

"But If he didn't lie. " Dekius asked weakly.

"Congratulations on the first job your Majesty gave you." Zhang Heng light way.

Daijiwusi's face suddenly tightened when he heard the words. He knew that the Oriental was threatening him, but he had to admit that his words were irrefutable.

"If you know where you are, let's get to work." Zhang Hengdao.

When he said this, he went over the fence on the side of the mine. Dejius hesitated and followed.

They walked along a muddy path, then over a slope, and finally saw the mine cave on the back.

In the mine cave, a group of slave miners are going in and out, carrying out baskets of stones and sand and dumping them outside the cave. A supervisor like guy sees Zhang Heng and dejius and takes the initiative to come up. He seems to know dejius and is a little surprised, "how did you come here?"

Daijiwusi introduces them, so Zhang Heng also knows that the young man in front of him is Cobb's eldest son, krassel.

Krassel reached out and shook hands with Zhang Heng. "I've seen your performance before. It's wonderful. You're the strongest man I've ever seen."

Although his tone was polite, there was a trace of caution in his manner and movements.

"Oh, Zhang Heng is now his Majesty's consultant, specializing in the construction of bronze statues." Dychius added later.

"Well, why don't you make a bronze statue and go to my mine?" While krassel was talking, another group of slaves came out of the mine. After dumping the sand and stones, they didn't go back to the mine immediately. Instead, they stood in the same place. There were about a dozen of them, tall and strong, with pickaxes in their hands.

"Er, we have been out of work for some time because there is not enough ore supply, so let's see the situation on your side and how long we can resume mining." Dekius made it.

"As you can see, there is a landslide in the mine, and we are still cleaning it up." Clarke racetrack, "I'm not sure how much time it will take to recover mining, but I remember I told you that once it is recovered, I will tell you at the first time."

"Of course, we don't believe you. We just want to see what we can do and breathe the fresh air in the country." Daijiwusi nodded repeatedly, then looked at Zhang Heng on one side, the meaning of the eyes seemed to say that it's OK, you should be satisfied now, that's it.

"There's no fresh air in this ghost place, just groups of stinking slaves and a pile of broken stones." Clarisse snorted, "no one wants to stay here. When things are over here, I'll go to the city to find a family house and take a long vacation."

"Yes, we can have a drink or something, but I don't think I have a job." Daijiwusi sighed, and then looked at Zhang Heng.

The latter raised his eyebrows, indicating that he had nothing to ask, and dejius was relieved.

Krasai and the dozen slaves watched Zhang Heng and dejius leave the mine.

After walking some distance, dekius finally said, "I don't want to say that, but now you should believe that the mine is really in trouble. Cobb didn't mean to delay the construction period."

"It's hard to say if the mine will be in trouble, but you are, my friend." Zhang Hengdao.

Daijiwusi was also worried when she heard the speech. "I know, but this is an accident. I hope you can truly reflect the situation here to your majesty."

"It's no accident." Zhang Heng shook his head.

"How can it be? We saw it with our own eyes..." Dekius's eyes widened, as if he didn't believe that someone was lying with his eyes open. Was it because he didn't put money in when they met?

"What you see is that slaves are picking sand out of the mine cave, and Carassius has people blocking the entrance of the cave to prevent us from entering. In addition, I heard that the miners in binota mine are not only slaves, but also some poor people nearby come here to seek work, but this time we see only slaves, not those poor people."

"Well, what does that mean?""Slaves are the property of the master. It's hard to betray the master, but the poor people are not. So if you want to do something, you can't let the poor people stay," Zhang Heng said. "And..."

"What else?"

"Did you notice that the slaves who cleaned the mine didn't sweat much, which means they had just started working, and remember the muddy road we passed before we went uphill?"

"Well."

"I don't know if you've noticed that crassey's shoes and trouser legs are covered with dry soil, which means that he just walked the road we've just passed. This guy came here not long before us to perform for us. Besides, when I went to see you, I found some sneaky guys outside your door. No accident It's the people that Cobb sent to keep an eye on you. When they saw me looking for you, it's estimated that someone had come back at that time and informed the people in the mine in advance, and then they were ready for all this. "

Zhang Heng said, looking back to daijiwusi, found that the latter's mouth was wide open, an incredible look.

"God, who are you and why can you see so many details that no one else will notice?"

"You know me. I used to be a gladiator, but my observation is just better." Zhang Heng has no intention to explain more. As one of the tenants of 221B Baker Street, he really doesn't know how to be surprised.

"Well, what do we do next?" "I mean, even though they know that binota is lying and deliberately shutting down, strictly speaking, they are not breaking the contract and are still paying us liquidated damages. Besides, I still don't know why Cobb is doing this. It doesn't do him any good."

"Cobb certainly didn't have the guts to do it, so next we need to find someone behind his back to do it." Zhang Heng light way.
