Chapter 86

Chapter 86
Wu Youdong really admired these two couples, he never thought that this concubine couple would have such insight and knowledge.

Especially the youngest daughter of the former colleague, who is better than her father...

Du Heng figured it out. The yellow iron they took from Long Wanzong was getting hot and humid all the way to the south, not as dry as in Beijing, and it was well preserved.Naturally it will be moldy.

Jinhua's face was full of bitterness, was she going to pay for their lives just for a gold mine with no need for oolongs?To them, it was nothing but a bamboo basket to fetch water, but to the people in their village?

The hot earth turned into scorched earth, and the living people turned into dead bodies. How did the originally peaceful and prosperous life fall to such a point? !
"Oh, I didn't expect this day to come..." A white-haired old man leaned on a walking stick, sitting on the muddy floor full of black ash, unable to stand up anymore.

Both his sons died in this unprovoked catastrophe, and only one granddaughter with a dirty face was left beside him.

"Third Uncle, what do you mean? Do you know something?" Jin Hua rushed forward and asked eagerly.

"Hey, you young people definitely don't know. Do you still remember the ancestral hall in our village? There is a longevity tablet enshrined."

"Remember, it was enshrined by an adult surnamed Li. I heard that many years ago our place was full of bandits. After he took office, he crossed the Nanmi Lanzhang River a few times, wiped out the bandits, and restored the cleanliness of Mengla for decades... ..."

"That's not bad at all, Jinhua, but do you know that Duke Li has not forgotten Mengla? After a few years, a master surnamed Lin came to Mengla and said that he was entrusted by Duke Li to help Mengla change its poverty!"

"Is it the Lin family I'm looking for when I go to Beijing?" Jin Hua asked.

"Exactly!"

Xue Feibai thought for a while, isn't the big family surnamed Lin in the court just like that... "The head of the family is the Lin family of Lin Yang, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion?"

"How do you know?" Jin Hua wondered.

"Everyone knows that the famous people surnamed Lin in Beijing are only their family...but their family was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and they were all ransacked!" Xue Fei told the truth with a big mouth.

"What!?" Jin Hua and the old man were both stunned.

Wu Youdong confirmed this statement: "Nephew Xue Xian's words are true, the Lin family was destroyed before I took office... It happened about half a year ago..."

Du Heng was in a daze, it turned out that it had been more than half a year...

"What about third uncle?"

"When Mr. Lin came to Mengla, he first came to our village, which is the poorest, and taught the villagers how to reclaim farmland; after walking half of Mengla, he felt that it is most suitable for us to raise winter melon pigs to develop animal husbandry, and specially taught us to take care of forests. Can't 'rob prison' or something..."

"Exhaust the marsh to catch fish?" Xue Fei replied in vain.

"Yes, that's the word!"

"Later, when Master Lin saw that the village was getting rich, he set off and left. He didn't eat the first crop of fresh melons and fruits planted by the villagers... and I was young at the time, and I didn't even remember what Master Lin was called. Now It's really a sin to think about it..." The old man wiped away his tears and said with a sob.

It should be grandpa.Du Heng thought to himself.

"After the village became rich, Mr. Lin came back with his family in a certain year! At that time, the people in the village were so happy! They rushed to see the three grandchildren brought by Mr. Lin, one male and two females. They must be very cute, they must be dragons and phoenixes in the world!..."

It turns out that I have really been here!Du Heng's heart was struck by lightning.The big tree in the sky that cannot be erased from memory, the vaguely beautiful scenery of the southern country... How old was I at that time?After all, it's not the age to remember...

"On the second day after Master Lin came here, Dilong turned over and found these brilliant yellow stones. Master Lin took some of them to study, and we don't know if he researched them. We only know that later he I had a secret discussion with the patriarch, and the result of the discussion was to bury this ore deeply and plant trees all over it, so that it would never see the light of day!

The patriarch later explained to us that this is not gold at all, but it is also a valuable mine; we are located on the border between the two countries, deep in the mountains and old forests, and mining is inconvenient. This mine may bring disasters rather than blessings to the villagers! "

What my grandfather said was true!Du Heng's heart trembled.

"Hehe, I didn't expect this mine to be seen again in such a way after 30 years!

However, Dilong has not recovered, the old people who knew the past have passed away, the people in the village will not seek their own death, and no outsider has come here in these years. Who leaked the news? "

Jin Hua's question hits the nail on the head.Du Heng and Xue Feibai thought more deeply. How did Long Wanzong know that there was a "gold mine" in Mengla?
There is a bold guess in Du Heng's heart, because in this story, there is a hidden person, a person who hides deep and has a dark heart!

No matter how low this possibility is, it is the only possibility!
"This old man, may I ask why Master Lin in the story came to Yunnan with three children? Are you not afraid of the fatigue of the boat?" Du Heng asked.

"I remember this incident very clearly. Master Lin himself said:

"Grand Li was kind to me, but she died on the journey; my little granddaughter is also a poor man, and there was not enough in the womb. The doctor said that I can't stay in Beijing for the winter. I brought her to the far south, hoping that she can survive. Through this calamity...

Her cousin and cousin are also good, insisting on arguing to accompany my sister...'

It is precisely because of this that the Longevity Tablet was set up for Li Gong in the village; everyone saw that the little girl like a crystal doll who could run just now might die at any time, so they kept asking for prescriptions and trying to cure her! "

Du Heng closed his eyes, Xiao Zimei who could run just now...

Hehe, before she and her brother could remember anything, she could deeply remember the location of the "gold mine" and take the ore back to Beijing; Long Wanzong conspired with the third prince, eighth prince, and tenth prince to mine the mine , borrow each other's power to get rich.

It's just that Xiao Zimei didn't know that the ore was not gold stone, even though she had no plans.

By now it was obvious that Xiao Zimei had secretly joined the party of the eighth and tenth princes, she was the inner ghost from the Lin family, and the letter of "communication with the enemy" was presumably written by her.

Getting rid of the Lin family is equivalent to clearing away the obstacles to their secret mining. It turned out that their purpose of framing the Lin family was nothing more than "money and money".

What about Xiao Zimei, what is she without the Lin family?Isn't she hurting herself by doing this?What is the purpose of this white-eyed wolf?
