The official officials searched the account book from the house of the patriarch of the Yun clan to record the income and expenditure of the mine, and the specific details of the patriarch's assassination of Yun's second sister-in-law and husband and several other miners were actually written on it.

On the other hand, the government sent people to thoroughly clean the mine, and after cleaning the ore in the cave, they carried out a thorough excavation.

In addition to Yun's second sister-in-law's husband, the official found seven or eight corpses inside.

The evidence was conclusive, and the Yun clan patriarch was speechless, and he finally admitted the fact that he killed the villagers of the same clan in order to protect his vested interests.

Things have to start from a few years, the cloud rich man chose to cooperate with the patriarch in order to be able to mine the silver ore smoothly, which made the patriarch see the huge benefits of silver mining.

Although it only took 20% of the profit, the silver that fell into his pocket became bigger and bigger like a snowfall.

Such a large interest of course appealed to the patriarch so thoroughly that when he learned that the miners had an incredible illness and that some people were dying quickly within a month, he chose to close the news, bury the miners, ignore them, and continue mining.

A total of eight people died in the mines, and he chose not to report them, and even lied that he had sent the miners to work elsewhere to comfort his family.

The paper could not contain the fire, the cloud rich man finally learned some of the inside information, he was afraid to die, after dealing with the shares in the mine and the family business, he fled to the capital with the cash.

The patriarch alone took over the entire mine, and he began to order the miners to dig day and night.

Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the yamen immediately arrested the patriarch after grasping the evidence of his murder for money.

The patriarch's house was turned over by the servants, and there was a lot of movement, and all the villagers knew what the patriarch had done.

I didn't expect that the patriarch of the Yun clan, who had always been high-spirited, would do such a thing, and everyone was very disappointed.

Especially the families of the miners who died in the mine, they were even more furious, and the angry family members rushed to the patriarch's house with shovels and other farm tools, if it wasn't for the people of the yamen to stop them, these people would have to beat the patriarch to death.

What the patriarch had done was revealed, and the people of the yamen took him away mercilessly.

After the interrogation, he was sentenced to exile, and his family wealth was confiscated, part of which was used to compensate the families of the victims, and part of it was used to improve the living conditions of the village with the surname San.

As one of the main persons in charge of the mine before, and did not report it after the incident, he caused a large number of casualties among the people in the village, and he also had an unshirkable responsibility, confiscating the illegal profits from the mine and fining him 2,000 taels of silver.

After the verdict was handed down, the two officials rushed to the capital on fast horses and escorted the rich man back of the cloud.

After this incident, the prestige of the Yun family in the village plummeted, and no one held the position of Li Zheng for decades.

"Li Huiyuan, how to deal with things in the future, please give me an idea!" Father Lei asked Li Ling humbly.

The problem that had plagued the village for several years was solved by the young man. Everyone seems to have just woken up from a nightmare, with lingering palpitations about the past and full of yearning for contacts.

"Please tell me how to get rid of the toxins from the land and well water." The villagers said in unison.

Now the villagers are really convinced! At first, they all thought that Li Ling was just a child, and no matter how powerful he was, he didn't have the skills of those famous doctors who came before.

However, the truth was not what they expected, and the young Huiyuan quickly found out the truth of the matter and brought the greedy Yun clan patriarch to justice.

Li Ling ordered the mine to be quickly cleaned up and buried the slag deep inside, and no one was allowed to enter after the hole was sealed.

"From now on, no one is allowed to use this small river coming down from the mountains to irrigate the fields, and it is not allowed to eat the river water here, otherwise there is a possibility of strange diseases!" Li Ling ordered.

There are too many trace elements in this small river, many of which are harmful to the human body, and only by preventing the continued intake of these elements can the lives of the villagers be guaranteed.

"It's okay not to use him to irrigate, there is a river in the village, we can repair the river, but how can we not eat the river water in this river, none of the dozens of families in our back village have a well, and the water source is suddenly cut off, how can we live!"

"If you want me to say, it's all because of the bastard of the Yun clan patriarch, the ancestors have used the water in this river for many years without any accidents. If he hadn't gotten the ore residue into the river, where would such trouble have happened? ”。

The villagers talked about it, especially the people who lived in the back village, they hated the Yun clan patriarch to death, and their families had the most people who had died of illness before, but now they were restricted from drinking river water, what a trouble this brought them!

"It doesn't matter, folks, if you don't dislike it, you can come to my house to get water!" The widow Wang opened her mouth at the right time, the water from the hot spring is not only very hot, but also has a certain preventive effect on diseases, and the water in it is really suitable to drink.

Widow Wang was so benevolent and righteous, the villagers all bowed their heads silently, and under the encouragement of the Yun clan patriarch, many people had the idea of hot springs.

I didn't expect that Widow Wang didn't remember the past and took the initiative to contribute to the hot spring.

"What's so embarrassing about that? Your family lives for two people, isn't it a bit reckless for us to come to you to fetch water? ”。

While the people of the back village were immersed in excitement, they raised their objections on Wednesday.

There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and if everyone goes to the widow's house to fetch water at will, won't it cause criticism?

"Yes, we can't ignore other people's names for our own convenience!" Yun's second sister-in-law also supported Wednesday's view.

The world is difficult, and it is even more difficult for a woman who lives alone to live, she knows this too well!

In the past few years, her husband has not been around, and she has suffered enough alone.

The residents of the back village were silent, and what they said to Sister-in-law Yun on Wednesday was reasonable, and they really couldn't find a reason to refute it!

"Actually, it's not that hard to solve this problem!". Li Ling opened his mouth and said.

This place of Sanxing Village produces a kind of crisp green bamboo, and the villagers use bamboo to make various tools to sell to subsidize their families when the farming is not working.

When Li Ling came on horseback, he had passed through many places where bamboo was planted. It's become a specialty of the place.

If you use bamboo tubes to distribute water to each household, all problems can be solved!

With a solution to the problem, the villagers immediately went into action, first using the momentum of the hot spring water to shoot upwards to lift the spring water into a large wooden barrel high above, and from the lower part of the barrel to the bamboo tube to lead the water to the homes.

The joints of the bamboo tubes are sewn by carpenters, and a lid is made at the back of each house, just like the water taps of later generations.

"What a whimsy!". Lei Zhutou said in admiration after receiving warm water in his yard.

Seeing that things were going so smoothly, Lei Zhutou's family was also a little moved, and the Lei family lived at home with Lei Zhutou's parents, and they were inconvenient to move, and they used to rely on the help of neighbors to take out well water from the deep well.

Now that he has such a convenient water intake device, Lei Zhutou naturally thinks of his parents.

The matter was over, and the villagers were no longer plagued by illness, so Li Ling and Lei Zhutou decided to leave.

They solved all the problems in just a few days when they came to the village, and the villagers were naturally grateful!

"Li Huiyuan, Lei Zhutou, thanks to the two of you this time, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid that my husband's grievances will really sink into the sea this time, I." Yun's second sister-in-law also came to see them off, and she choked up without saying a word.

What happened in the past few days was like a dream, she first found out that her husband had actually been dead for a long time, and secondly, she knew the true face of the patriarch, who originally seemed to be kind and kind, but secretly turned out to be a sinister villain.

Then she found herself facing the fact that her husband could not be vindicated.

If it weren't for Li Ling's eagerness, if it weren't for the help of the villagers, I was afraid that the patriarch would really get away with it.

If this is the case, how can the husband be at ease under the Nine Springs?

He actually accepted the patriarch's funding for so many years with peace of mind.

A hundred years later, what face will she have to see her husband under the Nine Springs? 、

"Son, come and bow to the two beneficiaries!" Yun's second sister-in-law pushed a seven or eight-year-old child in front of everyone.

"Cloud Key, thank you two benefactors!". The little ones bow their heads and bow down!

Li Linggang wanted to help the other party up, but was stopped by Lei Zhutou.

Li Huiyuan has a great kindness to Yun's second sister-in-law's family, and they can't take out anything else but to thank their benefactor.

Li Ling can only feel at ease if he accepts them.

"Eun Gong has a good trip!". Most of the villagers in the village of the third surname came to say goodbye, and they were very reluctant to be grateful to Li Ling!

"Take care, everyone!" Li Ling couldn't bear to look at the villagers' concerned looks anymore, so he quickly rode on his horse and left.

After a few people, the widow Wang packed her luggage, took her son into Beijing with her, and left the courtyard and hot springs where she lived to the villagers.

With the help of Li Huiyuan, the three surnamed villages got out of their predicament, and they also learned that the silver mine behind the village was a double-edged sword, which not only represented wealth, but also meant death.

After discussions, the three surnames re-established the clan rules, and in the future, no one was allowed to mine the minerals in the mountains, otherwise they would be immediately expelled from the village.

Over the years, the impact of the heavy metal spill became weaker and weaker, and the village gradually prospered again.

Later generations of descendants are grateful for Li Ling's merits, and a stele is erected to record this matter, the vicissitudes of time, and a stele is erected forever before the mountain behind the village of the three surnames.

The people of the village will never forget the accident that almost destroyed the village, let alone the man who saved them from fire and water!
