Chapter 507

When Master Liang saw Zhao Caifeng coming out, he thought that Song Mingxuan was participating in the Spring Festival, so he didn't come back, so he frowned and said, "When Song Jieyuan is out of the scene, if he knows that he will pass the exam first, I don't know how sad he will be."

Zhao Caifeng only sighed, supported her body and said: "Master Liang, my family's husband didn't end in this subject, and he is just staying in the mourning hall!"

Master Liang couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words, he only frowned and said, "What? It didn't end there? But what happened?"

The matter of Guo Lao Si couldn't be explained for a while now, Zhao Caifeng just thought about it, and said: "My husband was not feeling well a few days ago, so I thought it's better to wait for the next subject to take the next exam." .”

Mr. Liang was not surprised when he saw this was the reason, he just smiled and said: "It's Mrs. Song who knows that she loves Song Jieyuan."

Before Zhao Caifeng led Master Liang into the door, Song Mingxuan came out to welcome him. When Zhao Caifeng looked at him again, although he was still thin, his eyes were already a little bright, and he was not as distraught as before.

Song Mingxuan stepped forward, paid respects to Mr. Liang, and handed over the incense to Mr. Liang.Mr. Liang offered incense to Mrs. Xu, and Song Mingxuan led Mr. Liang to Dongli Room to talk.

It was still early at this time, and the people in the village hadn't come to help, so Zhao Caifeng personally made tea and delivered it to the room, only vaguely heard Song Mingxuan talking to Master Liang.

"The coal mine is the private property of Duke Cheng's mansion, and the county government has no way to intervene. It's just because such a major event happened more than ten years ago, it seems that the Chengguo mansion doesn't care much about that area, and just left it there. Usually only a crippled old man watched. The villagers in Fangmiao Village bullied him for not being able to run fast, so they often sneaked in to see what good things were inside. He died in a flash flood three years ago Many people, the county government paid a lot of money. For this matter, I invited someone to go to Cheng Guogong's mansion to inquire, and finally the housekeeper brought news out, saying that those villagers broke in by themselves, and they died. It deserves it, if I go to trouble them again, they will beat me out. I am only a ninth-rank sesame official, and my arms can't twist my thighs..."

Song Mingxuan felt a little strange when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "As far as I know, there are some Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing that were rewarded by Taizu when the founding of the country. The mountains past Fangmiao Village, It should all be the private property of Duke Cheng’s mansion? Even if the mines can’t be opened these years, if some fruits and vegetables are grown on those hills, there is still a lot of income. I heard that Duke Cheng’s mansion is not as good as it used to be. Don't they want to make money when they are clamoring to cut the lord?"

When Master Liang saw Song Mingxuan asking this question, he only sighed, frowned, and secretly leaned into Song Mingxuan's ear and said, "Why don't you want to make money? I heard that Chengguo's mansion has been looking for buyers again, and wants to buy those few The mountain was sold, but the price couldn’t be negotiated. He said that there are gold and silver treasures hidden in the mountain, but they just dug a few broken coal mines, how can we negotiate the price?”

When Zhao Caifeng heard this, her brows twitched suddenly, she raised her head Wei Wei, and said in unison with Song Mingxuan: "Then if there is silver coming out of this mine, will it be sold at a good price?"

After Zhao Caifeng finished speaking, she only turned her head and glanced at Song Mingxuan. Unexpectedly, the two of them had the same thinking, so they held back their glances, waiting for Master Liang to answer.

"It's so good, silver came out of the mine? It's been abandoned for more than ten years, and no silver has come out, and it's only in the past few months? One of you is Jie Yuan, and the other is also a smart little boy." Daughter-in-law, why do you want to believe this kind of lie?" Mr. Liang only watched the two people fall, but when he finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned, pointing to Song Mingxuan and asked: "Wait, did you What are you talking about? A good price?"

Zhao Caifeng saw that Mr. Liang hadn't reacted for a while, so she hurriedly said, "Didn't you say that, Mr. Liang? You said that Duke Cheng's mansion hasn't sold those mountains for so many years because they couldn't sell them well. The price, but if outside buyers hear that silver can be produced in this mountain, can’t they sell it at a good price?”

Master Liang patted his forehead and said, "Little daughter-in-law, what you said makes sense! Why didn't I think of it, but... How can money float out of such a good hole?"

Zhao Caifeng was stumped by this question, and she didn't know how to explain it for a while, but Song Mingxuan said, "I'm afraid someone deliberately brought the silver ore here and wanted to sell it at a high price, but because of the heavy rain, the ore sand It was rushed out and was seen by the people in the village, so some people rumored that there was silver floating out of it."

After listening to Song Mingxuan's analysis to this point, Zhao Caifeng understood most of it, and just continued: "The Chengguo government probably wanted to use rumors to sell these hills, but the people in the village believed it and went in. I went to pick up money, and in the end it caused a catastrophe."

When Mr. Liang heard this, he just slapped the table, stood up from the stool and said, "No wonder I went to Fangmiao Village yesterday and said that Cheng Guogong's mansion had sent people to guard the mountain, and they gave back to the dead people. There is a pension of 20 taels of silver for each household in the family, but they don’t know that there is another villager here, so they didn’t come to give the silver.”
