284. Chapter 284 Eyes but No Eyes

Ye Zhen really didn't expect Huangfuchen to know this white-clothed man with handicapped legs, but it seems that the relationship between the two of them is not so good.

Zhao Tianji smiled faintly, "What do you think I am doing? Isn't it just a private mine? There are many people in the world who have private mines, so you don't even want to take care of this?"

"It's just a private mine, why bother to kidnap others?" Huangfuchen asked coldly, sounding like he was scolding Zhao Tianji.

"Abduct others?" Zhao Tianji looked at Qiu Yuan next to him. He thought that the people who went to the iron mine were from nearby villages. In order not to leak the secrets, he ordered that the people who went to the iron mine not be allowed to leave. If they succeed, they will naturally let them go and give them a lifetime of wealth, "Are you arrested?"

Qiu Yuan's eyes were already blank after Zhao Tianji called out Huangfuchen's name. How could there be such a coincidence in this world that they arrested Huangfuchen? If he knew that he was Huangfu Chen, he wouldn't dare to take him to the iron mine even if he was beaten to death. What should we do now? Can Huangfuchen keep it a secret for them, or kill him first?

Huangfuchen glanced at Zhao Tianji, "What do you think?"

Zhao Tianji said with a smile, "It seems that some people have blind eyes, even dare to arrest Mr. Huangfu, and it is useless to live."

"Master?" Qiu Yuan's face changed slightly.

"Whoever captured them, gouged out whose eyes." Zhao Tianji ordered with a smile, his expression not changing at all.

Qiu Yuan answered with a trembling voice, and under Zhao Tianji's signal, he bowed his head and retreated.

Huangfuchen looked at Zhao Tianji unmoved, as if he was very aware of his cruelty, "All the people in Gujia Village were captured by your people?"

"Ah Chen, you misunderstood. I never arrest people, and I will never force others to help in the iron mines. The people who work in the iron mines are people from several nearby villages. I give them excellent remuneration. They were the ones who went to work in the mines before. Ten times the return of working for others." Zhao Tianji said.

So, is this the reason why the imperial court and the government didn't discover the existence of this private mine? Those who went to work in the iron mine may have done so to conceal the existence of the iron mine. Thinking of this, Ye Zhen couldn't help shaking her head in her heart, then how to explain the innkeeper's matter?

"The shopkeeper of the Gujiacun inn... is it one of your people?" Huangfuchen and Ye Zhen also thought of the shopkeeper. According to the shopkeeper's practice, it is obviously not the first time. It is possible that they also used it in other places. In the same way, people are caught working in the iron mines, and they are not allowed to leave.

Zhao Tianji's slender fingers tapped lightly on the handle of the wheelchair, "I haven't been back for half a year."

"Don't you know that your people are acting as kidnappers outside to arrest people to go to the iron mine? Even if you knew, you wouldn't stop it." Huangfuchen said lightly.

"It's probably because the iron mine is short of manpower. I didn't expect to arrest you." Zhao Tianji seemed to find this incident funny, but he wasn't surprised at all, and he didn't seem to intend to stop this incident from happening.

Ye Zhen frowned and looked at him, always felt that this person's smile looked very feminine and scary. Although he was talking to Huangfuchen with a smile, it still made people feel the hostility and indifference flashed by him inadvertently. How can a person who has their eyes gouged out care about other people's life and death?

"What's the matter with your leg?" Huangfu Chen asked, it is probably impossible to expect Zhao Tianji to let those people go, old people who haven't seen each other for many years will always change.

Zhao Tianji smiled and said, "I'm not a doctor, how would I know what's going on?"

Huangfuchen looked up at him, "Let them go, I will stay."

"Huangfuchen, do you take me for a fool?" Zhao Tianji smiled softly and indifferently. He looked at Ye Zhen and asked with a smile, "Is this your apprentice?"

"What do you want to do?" Huangfu Chen asked with a frown.

Zhao Tianji said lightly, "Unexpectedly, I haven't heard from you for many years. You are more romantic than before, and you have such a stunning apprentice by your side. I'm afraid you have forgotten what Mu Qing looks like?"

Huangfuchen's eyes turned cold.

"Since you are here as a guest at Tianshui Villa, let's stay longer. Your medical skills are so good, and your apprentice should not be bad, so let your apprentice heal my legs. If they can't be cured, I will kill them." her." Zhao Tianji looked at Ye Zhen and said slowly.

Ye Zhen looked at him expressionlessly. Just now, Qiu Yuan said that he would let them go as long as his master was cured. He must also feel that his legs can't be cured, otherwise why didn't he let Master heal him?

It seems that their stay in this Tianshui Villa is more ominous than good. If Zhao Tianji and Master hadn't known each other before, maybe they would have been silenced long ago.

"If you kill her, I will turn your place into ruins." Huangfuchen said calmly.

Zhao Tianji was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed, "It seems that she is not just your apprentice, but there is one more woman besides Mu Qing who can make you Huangfuchen so nervous and important."

Huangfuchen looked at Zhao Tianji coldly, "You don't have to provoke me, just let them go, and I will treat your illness."

"If you can cure my illness, I don't need to sit in this broken wheelchair now." Zhao Tianji said with a sneer.

"If I cure your illness, will you let us go?" Ye Zhen's clear eyes looked at Zhao Tianji without fear.

Zhao Tianji raised his eyebrows, "No."

Ye Zhen laughed angrily, "Then why do you think we will treat your illness?"

"Because..." Zhao Tianji looked at Ye Zhen with a half-smile, "If I can't cure my disease, I will kill you."

"Instead of being imprisoned here by you, why don't you kill us?" Ye Zhen snorted, "However, I think your illness is not just the inability to move your legs. After a while, if your illness persists It’s not improving, you can’t even move your hands, and when it’s really hopeless, the only place you can move is your mouth.”

"Are you looking for death?" Zhao Tianji looked at Ye Zhen coldly.

Huangfuchen said in a low voice, "She's telling the truth."

Zhao Tianji snorted coldly, "If she can't cure my illness, you will all die."

"I've cured your illness, but you want to let us go." Ye Zhen said, "Anyway, we were caught blindfolded by your people, so you don't have to worry about us revealing your secrets."

"Huangfuchen, this apprentice of yours is eloquent." Zhao Tianji smiled lightly.

Huangfuchen said, "Maybe she can really cure your illness, you decide for yourself."
