Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1605 Can’t Stay

Hu Fei's actions would only arouse suspicion by saying such things in front of so many people. Chen Changli thought so in his heart and was about to negotiate for him, but the person who had spoken for him before refused to do so.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to be on guard against us? We just spoke up for you out of kindness."

"That's right, do you have a conscience? Tell us the secrets you know quickly. If we all work together, we may be able to help the general catch the man."

"Don't hide it. The situation in Yongzhou City is not very good right now. If you hide it, won't you harm us?"

The people talked one after another, and Hu Fei immediately became red-faced and ashamed.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I am worried that there are people from the Ninth Prince in Yongzhou City, so I can only tell the general about this matter."

"What do you mean the Ninth Prince's people? Who are you suspecting?" Hearing him say this, the people became even angrier.

"We were all born and raised in Yongzhou City. We all know each other. Who dares to join the Ninth Prince?"

"To join the Ninth Prince at this critical moment is to kill all of us. Who is so cruel? Stand up quickly."

The people became angrier and angrier as they talked, and then they stared at each other, trying to find out who had betrayed Yongzhou City.

Seeing that everyone's atmosphere was like a raging fire, Chen Changli immediately shouted for them to keep quiet, then reached out to help Hu Fei up and asked in a gentle voice: "How important is this matter? Is it enough to threaten the lives of everyone in Yongzhou City?"

Hu Fei was stunned by the question, and after a moment he said: "As long as everyone is careful, this matter will not threaten their lives."

He said this, but the expression on his face said otherwise.

There are many smart people among the people. They stared at Hu Fei's face and noticed this in an instant. They asked hurriedly: "What is it? Tell everyone quickly and don't hide it anymore, otherwise we will suspect that you did it on purpose, and your purpose is to help the Ninth Prince harm us."

"I swear to heaven that I will never do such a thing to you. If I disobey my will, I will be struck by lightning and die miserably." Hu Fei swore immediately after hearing this.

"If oaths were useful, there wouldn't be such ungrateful people in this world." The white-haired old man stared at Hu Fei sharply, his tone sharp and cold.

Hu Fei was stared at by him, and he felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, and his whole body was cold.

He avoided the old man's gaze uncomfortably and said weakly, "I'm really scared."

The old man reacted very quickly. He immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Hu Fei, looking down at him.

Seeing that he didn't dare to look him in the eye, the old man instantly knew that what he said before was false, and what he was talking about must be related to the people in Yongzhou City.

"What you are talking about is related to some missing people, right?" The old man thought about it for a long time and then he came up with a guess. He immediately grabbed Hu Fei with both hands and asked excitedly.

"Missing people?" The old man's voice was very high, and many people heard it. They seemed to be touched by something in their hearts, and their eyes instantly turned red. "Hu Fei, answer Mr. Mei's question quickly."

"Mr. Mei, don't get excited, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it." Someone recognized the old man and hurried forward to stop him.

"It's about my son and grandson, how can I not be excited." Mr. Mei's face was full of sadness, and he held Hu Fei even harder, "Tell me quickly, is what you want to tell General Chen related to the missing person?"

Hu Fei's heart trembled and he gritted his teeth secretly.

He had never been treated like this before, but when he saw Mr. Mei crying so sadly, he felt very uncomfortable.

"You guessed right." Hu Fei couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience, so he said, "Wen Baicao discovered an iron mine in Mingyue Mountain two years ago, so he joined forces with various businessmen to recruit some young and strong men to dig for iron ore in the name of recruiting workers."

"Because the iron ore was of great importance and could not be known to the court, they made up their minds to throw the sick man off the cliff and then paid him some silver as compensation."

"But later they found that doing so would make some people resent them, so they cancelled the recruitment a year ago and directly kidnapped young and strong men to dig iron ore, so your relatives disappeared."

Hu Fei rattled off a series of words, which were like a bolt from the blue, instantly making everyone's minds go blank.

After a while, some of the women came to their senses and rushed towards Hu Fei, punching and kicking him while howling like ghosts.

"Wow, my husband disappeared half a year ago. My family had no means to support themselves and had to eat at other people's houses. We finally recovered, but my son disappeared three months ago."

"I thought it was the sin of our ancestors that led to this punishment, but I didn't expect it was a man-made disaster."

"Oh my God, why are you so blind that you let these evil people live in Yongzhou City and harm my relatives?"

"You bastard, why are you trying to hide such an important thing? Tell me, are you and your son involved? Otherwise, why are you hiding it from us?"

"The disappearance of the man who heads the family is a catastrophe for us, and you actually want to hide it from us, Hu Fei, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

"Oh, God! Please send down a thunderbolt to kill these evil people."

Hu Fei was beaten and wanted to fight back, but when he heard their sad words, he felt very uncomfortable.

He also hurriedly explained: "My father and I have never been involved in such a thing. Please believe me. After all, our foundation is too poor and we don't have enough people. How could we do such a thing?"

Seeing that everyone was in grief and anger and refused to listen to his explanation, Hu Fei gritted his teeth and shouted: "Fellow villagers, your relatives are in the iron mine of Mingyue Mountain. If you go to rescue them now, you may be able to rescue them."

"Yes, we have to rescue them. We can't let them suffer in the iron mine." When the women heard this, they immediately came to their senses.

"I will arrange it immediately, don't worry." Chen Changli did not expect that the matter was related to the iron mine, and the iron mine was discovered two years ago.

Facing the expectant gazes of the people, Chen Changli immediately gave everyone a guarantee, and then urged everyone to be careful and prevent the people arranged by the merchants from lurking in Yongzhou City. Then he began to mobilize people to go to Mingyue Mountain to investigate the situation.

When he made a move, Jin Xiu thought he had noticed where they were. He became anxious like an ant on a hot pan, with a gloomy and ugly face.

"Why is Chen Changli so difficult to deal with? Does he really want me to lose an arm?"

"Jin Xiu, things may not be what you think." Seeing Jin Xiu's ugly face, the doctor who had arranged everything in the secret passage immediately comforted her.

Jin Xiu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "I heard that Chen Changli was tortured by old man Xia, so he is in poor health at the moment."

"But I just arranged an assassination, but didn't hurt him at all. I suspect Chen Changli was deliberately disguising himself."

When the doctor heard this, he stroked his beard and said, "He deceived the girl and made her make a wrong judgment, so this man cannot be kept."
