Chapter 80 Mine Bloody Case

A convoy of twenty large cargo magic locomotives drove into the Namtuo mine in the northwest of the Dros Kingdom.

This mine was previously under the control of the local Dro people. Later, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce entered the Dro kingdom and invested in the mine. As a result, the two parties had a certain cooperative relationship, which greatly increased the mineral output of the mine.

However, in the riot against foreign tribes that almost swept across the entire Dro tribe a few years ago, the local Dro tribesmen claimed that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had snatched the mine from them, and retaliated against the employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in an extremely bloody way, snatched the mine back.

However, their good times did not last long. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce quickly sent a guard into the Dro tribe kingdom and suppressed the riot with an extremely strong thunderous force.

The local Dro people who retaliated against the employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce during the mine riot were arrested by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and were directly executed by a small number of them. So the control of the mine was naturally fallen into the hands of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Now several years have passed, the mine has made great progress under the operation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the mineral output has soared from a few dozen tons per month in previous years to nearly 1,000 tons.

The ore mined is now available to various chambers of commerce in the Dros Kingdom for use, except for a small part of the mined ore, all of the remaining parts will be loaded on the transport convoy of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and will enter the port in southern Wales all the way south, and then transport it to the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce by sea for refining.

This is one of the dozens of mines currently spread across the Sines Continent, and is one of the mines that the Sines Chamber of Commerce has not announced to the public.

The reason why the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce can now meet the demand for a large amount of steel and various non-ferrous metals is due to many minerals including the Namtuo Mine.

After the convoy drove into the mine, he went deep into the mine without hesitation and came to the ore piled place in the mine.

The head of the mine, Abach, had already made preparations. When the convoy arrived, he immediately directed the large magic forklift waiting here to start loading.

The load capacity of each large cargo magic locomotive is about twenty tons, and the total load capacity of twenty cars is only less than five hundred tons.

The last time the convoy came to this mine for loading was four months ago. The total amount of ore accumulated by mines has reached more than 3,000 tons.

Therefore, the fleet will work here for at least three consecutive days as expected to transport all the accumulated ore.

The team leader Zeberto has led the team to come several times, and of course he is very skilled in this process. After stopping the car, he jumped out of the co-cab directly.

"Hey Zeberto, call the brothers down and rest for a while. Come here from such a long distance, and you have to have a meal first and drink some wine, right?" Abach greeted Zeberto very familiarly.

Zeberto, who was very rough on his face, had a cheerful smile, slapped Abach's shoulder vigorously and laughed loudly: "Of course we need to eat, and we have to eat well. Say, Abach, have you prepared a big mouthful of meat?"

"Of course, I'm ready every time I come here. You don't know." Abach's face, which was darker than Zeberto, had a smile on his face because he worked in the mine for many years. "Don't worry. This time I asked someone to buy two of the best local goats in advance to ensure that you can eat them."

"Well, it's great!" Zeberto nodded with satisfaction. "The smell of goat here... tsk, I really drool when I think about it. In the cold weather now, eating mutton next to the hot pot is a great pleasure. But unfortunately... wine cannot be drunk. You also know that brothers will send delivery goods in the afternoon, and drinking is too easy to delay trouble."

"Well... this is true. But if you don't drink this meal, you can wait until the brothers come back in the evening and I will treat them well. Drinking a drink before going to bed will not affect your work the next day, right?"

"It's a pity that this mission is urgent. I'm afraid that more than half of the brothers will not be able to spend the night here at night, so this wine is spared." Zeberto patted Abach and sighed and said, "I appreciate your kindness on behalf of my brothers. Just keep in mind the brothers and drink wine and other things in the future."

"Is that so? That's a pity." Abach curled his lips, suddenly moved his expression, and asked in confusion: "You said... why did the above urge so urgently this time? Is it..."

Zeberto glared at Abach: "Stop guessing the above things, we just need to do our own job."

Abach was slightly shocked and nodded silently.

The two of them were stunned for a while when they watched the ore loading scene together. Zeberto waved to Abach: "Go and go to the mine to take a look, there is nothing wrong here."

"good."

Abach knew that in addition to being responsible for ore transportation, Zeberto also had the responsibility of inspecting mines in various places. Whenever he went to a mine, he had to investigate the specific operation of mines in various places, and then report it. He could be regarded as a prosecutor sent by the upper level of the Chamber of Commerce.

It is precisely because of this that he always tries to establish a good relationship with Zeberto.

Otherwise, he would not have to flatter himself like this if he was the captain of a transport convoy.

The two of them came to the mine behind and walked around. Zeberto just looked around along the way, occasionally asking a few questions, but not saying anything more.

However, after seeing him turning around, Abach felt relieved.

Without any special statement, it means that the results of this review are good, at least there are no problems.

This means that the upper level of the Chamber of Commerce is satisfied with the work results of this place, which means that the assessment Abach will be further improved, which will help him get promoted as soon as possible and leave this ghost place.

After inspecting the mine, the two men were talking and laughing and preparing to return to the residential area of ​​the mine.

Abach had already prepared a sumptuous lunch and planned to entertain Zeberto and his colleagues in the convoy.

However, just halfway through, I suddenly heard an extremely noisy noise outside the mine. It sounded like many people were rushing towards this side.

Abach's face suddenly changed.

Zeberto, who was beside him, looked at the direction of the voice, then looked at Abach's strange face and said in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Abach forced a smile and waved his hand: "No, nothing big is happening..."

Zeberto's face darkened and frowned, "Abach, don't blame me for not reminding you that the big men at the chamber of commerce have never been afraid of something wrong, but they are particularly afraid of something but concealing it without reporting it. I advise you not to try to hide it. I can see that this is definitely not a trivial matter."

Abach's expression changed several times. In the end, he could only sigh dejectedly.

"I understand...ah, it's not a big deal, it's just... it's just some troublemakers causing trouble."

"Unforgivable?" Zeberto was even more shocked. "Where did the unforgivable people come from?"

Abach pointed to the gate of the mine: "You will understand when you go and see."

Zeberton followed Abach to the mine gate in wonder, looked out, and was immediately surprised.

Like most mines, the Namtuo Mine is outside the wilderness and is not very crowded around.

However, outside the mine gate, there are crowds of black people. I glanced at it and I was afraid there were thousands of people.

There are only fifty guards hired from the local area in charge of mine safety. Although they are holding the magic crossbow equipped by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they look particularly weak in the face of this huge crowd of nearly thousands of people.

Zeberto glanced over and found that the large group of people was obviously organized and purposeful, because there were still several banners in the crowd.

After seeing what was written on the banner, Zeberto's eyes looked a little strange.

"Namcuo belongs to us Dro people, get out of the foreigners!"

"The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gets out of the nam! Give us peace!"

"Defend our home to the death!"

...

"Abach, where did these people come out?" Zeberto asked, pointing to the crowd opposite.

Abach spread his hands and sighed, "I don't know either. Since last month, dozens of people came to scatter and shouted that we would return the mine to them. Later, there were more and more people, and then you see... so many people gathered in the end."

"This is not right." Zeberto frowned and said in confusion: "Has these guys learned the lessons after the last riot? Didn't they see the consequences of the Dro people who participated in the riot last time? They dared to do this, and they really don't worry about angering our chamber of commerce."

Abach smiled bitterly: "The problem is that they are just protesting here from beginning to end and don't do anything. We have no reason to attack them directly like the last time."

"That's enough to drive them away. Could it be that they'll keep getting in the way here?"

"Then you have to drive them away," Abach smiled bitterly. "They have caused trouble here not once or twice. I really couldn't stand it twice before. I invited the escort stationed near Dro City to help drive them away. But when they drove them away, they came again. I can't let the escort help drive people here all the time, right?"

"What do the guards in the mine do for food? Why are they all in a daze?" Zeberto asked again.

"These escorts hired are all locals. Besides, they have too few people, how can they count on them?" Abach said helplessly.

Zeberto glanced at the mine guards blocking the gate and found that they were all blank and had no intention of driving the crowd. He knew that Abach was right, and these guards hired from the local area could not count on.

"Then haven't you talked to these people? What exactly do they want?"

"It's useless to talk." Abach shook his head and sighed: "What these guys want is a mine. They said we'll hand over the mine to them. How can I agree?"

"Give them some money to get rid of it?"

"Not even, they don't accept negotiations at all."

Zeberto frowned deeply and looked at the group of people shouting slogans at the mine gate but did not take any extreme actions. He felt very clear in his heart.

It is obvious that someone is organizing this group of guys, specifically targeting this mine.

Even... the person behind him simply came for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"How did you drive them away before? When I said I wouldn't ask the guard to take action?" Zeberto asked again.

"There is no choice but to wait until they get tired of making trouble and they will disperse themselves." Abach replied with a wry smile.

"Do you have to wait for them to disperse yourself?" Zeberto looked back and saw that there were already several large cargo magic motorcycles filled with ore behind the gate, and were forced to park behind the gate and wait.

"No, it's too late to continue like this."

Zeberto frowned and prepared to come over and contact the group of people and strive to negotiate.

However, as soon as he took a step, he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound, which was clearly the sound of a crossbow arrow.

Looking in shock, I saw the crowd blocking directly in front of the gate suddenly dispersed, revealing an open space in the middle.

In the open space, a middle-aged man lay on his back, his eyes protruding, and his face was full of incredible expression.

A crossbow arrow penetrated deeply into his left chest, as if endless blood was flowing out of his chest, instantly dyeing the land beneath him a dazzling bright red.

The crowd, which was extremely noisy just now, instantly fell into a dead silence.

After staying for half a minute, the dead silence was broken by an extremely sharp cry.

"Murdered! Xinfei Chamber of Commerce killed!" (To be continued...)
