Chapter 11 Boss Zhang's Plan

In the evening, Zhang Lao Da and Tian Lin went to take a bath together. When they came back, Zhang Lao Da said to Tian Lin: "I have already finished the work today. I will start tomorrow. You will see when the time comes."

After returning to the house, Tian Lin continued to meditate. The 'Shengyuan Grass' he had eaten in the past two days had given him four years' worth of internal strength.

According to Boss Zhang, someone with thirty years of experience would be a third-rate master, and someone with forty years of experience would be a second-rate master.

Boss Zhang himself is a first-rate master, so he has fifty years of experience.

Tian Lin was still far from being a third-rate expert, but even with four years of practice, it was already quite impressive.

After all, Boss Ye is the king among the miners, but in fact he can't even be considered a third-rate master.

Boss Zhang said that there were only a dozen or so third-rate experts in the mine.

He had only seen two second-rate masters - as for the first-rate masters, he had not seen any yet.

At night, Tian Lin ate the Soul-Burial Flower and meditated as usual.

Compared with the past, he was obviously much bolder this time.

Firstly, Boss Zhang will take action tomorrow night, and he cannot die before Boss Zhang takes action against the man named Ye - it is necessary to improve his internal strength.

Secondly, Tian Lin now has five years of internal strength, so it seems that he can digest a Soul Burial Flower at one time.

He meditated until midnight.

Zhang Lao Da, who was lying on the kang, seemed unable to wait any longer and quietly got up from the kang.

Tian Lin didn't say anything, but just opened his eyes and looked at Boss Zhang.

In the dark night light, Boss Zhang grinned at Tian Lin, then turned over and got out of bed.

Tian Lin watched Boss Zhang disappear at the door, then closed his eyes and continued to try his luck.

He now understood that Boss Zhang was lying when he said he would take action the next night.

Of course, Boss Zhang hid the specific time of action from Mr. Ye, and even from himself.

But Tian Lin didn't mind. It was natural for Boss Zhang to worry about him. As long as he could eliminate the hidden danger of the surname Ye, Tian Lin didn't mind such a small matter.

He meditated for a while, and then he saw Boss Zhang tiptoeing out of the door.

Tian Lin didn't know what tricks Mr. Zhang had used, but the usually tattered door didn't make any sound when it opened and closed.

By the time Boss Zhang went to bed, Tian Lin had not yet finished refining the medicine in his body.

By the time Tian Lin had finished refining the 'Shengyuan Grass' in his body, Boss Zhang had already begun snoring.

Tian Lin frowned. He found that Boss Zhang seemed to have really fallen asleep this time, and was sleeping very soundly.

At this time, he was certain that Boss Ye was dead, but he was not curious about how Boss Zhang killed Ye.

What he was curious about was what Boss Zhang had been doing these past two days, and whether it had anything to do with magic.

After thinking about it, he decided not to wake up Boss Zhang. After hugging his numb thighs with his hands and lying on his side, Tian Lin also fell asleep.

The next morning, there was a sound of breaking door.

A group of miners stood up and were about to rush to the porridge shed, but unexpectedly a man in black standing at the door whipped them back with two whips.

The fastest running miners screamed in pain and dodged backwards very quickly.

In an instant, the room was in chaos. A group of people crowded at the door, and some people were lying on the bed looking at the men in black who came in from outside.

The man in black glanced around the room, and did not see Boss Zhang and Tian Lin in the crowd.

He used his whip to push away the people in front of him and shouted, "Where is Mr. Tian? Is Mr. Tian here?"

Tian Lin, who was lying on the bed, was stunned and looked at Boss Zhang.

Boss Zhang grinned and said, "I have a plan that I need your help with. If you agree, just nod your head. If you don't agree, you can also betray me."

Boss Zhang said to Tian Lin, "Actually, Manager Xu and the gang of supervisors all know that I killed the man named Ye, but they won't arrest me. They're coming to arrest you directly."

"why?"

Tian Lin frowned, but he was not excited.

Zhang Laodao said: "Manager Xu has a top-notch expert named Leopard under his command. Apart from him, there are no other top-notch experts in the mine. Manager Xu wants to recruit me, and he is reluctant to kill me. You are my brother, and he will not really kill you."

He cut to the chase: "So Manager Xu wants to use you to force me to submit to him. I have to act like I'm forced to do so and not let him see that I'm really here for him. Do you understand? You must hold on for these few days."

Tian Lin understood that when Boss Zhang first entered the mine, he had no intention of obtaining the magical reward from Master Shang.

He set his target on Manager Xu, because although Manager Xu was not a master, he possessed some magical skills.

Rather than trying to earn money, gain Mr. Shang's favor, and then acquire the immortal arts, Boss Zhang would rather make plans directly from Manager Xu.

The former seems safe, but in fact there is little hope.

As for the latter, all they need to do is deal with Manager Xu.

"You came up with this plan after you met me, right?"

After Tian Lin finished speaking, the man in black came over. At this moment, there was no room for the two to whisper. "Supervisor You, I killed the man named Ye. It has nothing to do with my brother."

Boss Zhang stepped forward to protect Tian Lin behind him and directly admitted that he had committed murder.

The man in black glanced at Boss Zhang and said, "Brother Zhang, please move aside. We have already found out that you are not the one who killed someone."

"No, it was me. Last night, while everyone was asleep, I sneaked into Ye's barracks and strangled him with my own hands."

"No, not you."

The man in black interrupted Zhang Lao Da and pointed his whip at Tian Lin behind him and said, "I was on duty last night. I saw with my own eyes that it was your brother who did the killing."

Everyone in the wooden house looked at Tian Lin in surprise and doubt, with expressions of both disbelief and sudden enlightenment.

"Mr. Tian, ​​tell me, did you kill Mr. Ye, or did your brother kill him?"

After the man in black asked the question, Tian Lin answered truthfully: "My brother killed him."

The man in black looked at Zhang Laodao and said, "It seems that your brother doesn't have deep feelings for you."

Boss Zhang said bluntly: "If you want to arrest someone, arrest me. If you dare to touch my brother, don't blame me for being rude to you."

The man in black looked gloomy and said sternly, "Mr. Zhang, do you really think that you are a top-notch expert and can do whatever you want in the mine?"

He shouted this, but he really didn't dare to step forward easily.

At this time, a laugh was heard outside the house: "Brother Zhang is very emotional. After all, it is because he is too worried about his brother, so it is understandable."

The man walked into the wooden house, and the miners respectfully called out "Good morning, Manager Xu" and other words.

But Manager Xu was very rude to them and said in a hoarse voice: "What's going on here has nothing to do with you. Why don't you get out and eat and work?"

At this time, the aisle between the two large bunk beds was blocked by the men in black and Manager Xu. No one dared to pass by them, and they all ran out of the house on the large bunk beds.

Soon, only Manager Xu, Supervisor You, and "brothers" Tian Lin and Boss Zhang were left in the room.

Manager Xu looked at Tian Lin and said, "Brother Tian, ​​your brother killed the man named Ye, but I don't want to kill your brother. Can you die for your brother?"

Tian Lin controlled his expression and said, "Manager Xu, you can just kill the person my brother killed. There's no need to implicate me."

Tian Lin originally wanted to put on an expression of trepidation, but he felt that his performance might be terrible, so he simply kept a wooden face.

Manager Xu smiled, looked at Boss Zhang and said, "Are you really brothers? But I see that not only is there a big age gap between you, but your relationship is also not good."

Boss Zhang's expression became much more complicated. He looked at Tian Lin with a hint of anger, then a bit of sadness, and finally a helpless sigh:

"I went out to look for immortals very early and became a Huahualang, thinking that I could become an immortal and return home in glory. Unfortunately, I didn't become a Huahualang, but I learned martial arts in the martial arts world. When I returned home, I found that I had a younger brother. I had never met this younger brother, so we didn't have a good relationship. At that time, he was alone in the village picking wild vegetables to eat, and my parents had passed away long ago——"

This is actually a very common story, but Tian Lin was surprised to notice that there seemed to be a flash of sadness in Manager Xu's eyes.

"Friend Zhang, I admire you very much. As long as you can do something for me, I can forgive the death of Mr. Ye."

Zhang Lao Da said, "Manager Xu, do you want me to learn from that leopard and be your dog? But I am Zhang, and I am an upright man. I went out to seek immortality, not to be someone's dog."

"It's a good idea to seek immortality instead of being a dog."

Manager Xu said, "It seems that your brother doesn't care about your life or death, and you don't care about your brother's life either. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."

He waved his hand, Supervisor You stepped forward and grabbed Tian Lin's hand, and Boss Zhang hurried forward to stop him.

But just as Boss Zhang took a step forward to hit Supervisor You in the chest, Manager Xu lightly slapped Boss Zhang on the body.

Boss Zhang flew out like a spring and hit the south wall hard, causing it to shake.

A cloud of dust fell from the beams, but was swept away by Manager Xu's sleeves.

Manager Xu stroked his graying beard and said with a smile, "After all, true qi and internal strength are different. Although I haven't reached the first level of qi training, it's not something you Jianghu guys can ignore."

Boss Zhang didn't say anything, he just held his chest and stood up with the help of the wall.

But after receiving the palm strike, he could not stand steadily and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Tian Lin noticed with horror that Boss Zhang's chest had almost collapsed.

"Come on, what are you looking at? Now it's your turn, kid!"

As Supervisor You was speaking, he grabbed Tian Lin and walked out.

At this time, the sky outside was already bright and the mine had already started working in full swing.

Tian Lin was grabbed by the collar and dragged to the wooden house where the supervisors usually stayed.

Although the wooden house where the supervisor stayed also had two large bunk beds, there were only about ten people living in them.

The wooden house also had a second floor. When Supervisor You took Tian Lin up to the second floor, several supervisors who were gambling in the house laughed and said, "Little You, why don't you use the cook to cool down today? Instead, you've got a little boy here?"

Supervisor You said, "This is the younger brother of the fellow surnamed Zhang. His elder brother, who has a different surname, is unwilling to submit to Manager Xu, and Manager Xu wants me to vent my anger on his younger brother."

As he was talking, Supervisor You took Tian Lin to the second floor.

In the large wooden house on the second floor, various torture instruments were hung on the walls.

Tian Lin frowned and glanced at the boning knives, axes and hooks. He didn't know what the mine was doing with all these things. Could this be a slaughterhouse?
