After Feng Bai went out, he hid his figure in the thick night, and quietly followed those officials together.

He found that they had just walked a short way, and the official in the lead suddenly turned his head and said to the other subordinates behind him: "I have other things to do, you go first, I will come after you later." ”

At this point, what else did he have to do?

Feng Bai suddenly felt very strange.

He had a faint premonition in his heart, this matter is not so simple!

So he followed the leading official and walked away, only to see that after the official left, he went straight to the village chief's house.

"I've already done the thing, as for the gold mine, you should know how to do it, right?" In addition to arresting Li Chuxia, there is also a more important matter, that is, the matter of the gold mine.

The village chief naturally nodded again and again, "Don't worry, I naturally understand, and I hope that after you go back, you can help me speak well in front of the county master." ”

He smiled very flatteringly, and his attitude was clearly very respectful, and such a gesture seemed very comfortable in the eyes of the official.

The official suddenly had a sense of superiority, and he raised his eyebrows happily and smiled: "You have done a good job in this matter, and I will definitely help you say a few kind words in front of the county master." ”

This is really a thing that can't be packaged, even if this official didn't help him speak in front of the county master, he actually didn't know, he was still naïve, he was happy for a long time because of this matter, and he happily sent the official out like this.

What they didn't know was that at this time, not far from them, there was a man hiding in a tree branch, and he could see all their words and actions clearly. And this person is Feng Bai.

After Feng Bai saw the faces of the village chief and the official clearly, he immediately told Baili Yunzheng about this matter, and after the two of them discussed it for a while, they still decided to report the matter to the county master's superior official, that is, the governor of this place.

The governor was very angry when he learned about this, but he was not a simple person after all, so he immediately sent someone over to inquire about the situation, and the subordinate soon returned.

"How? Did you hear the news? Do you really have a lot of gold mines? "The governor looked very excited, and if there was a lot of going on there, he would probably be going to make a fortune.

The subordinates who came back from inquiring about the news nodded and said, "It is true that there are a lot of gold mines, but they have not been fully excavated, and they don't know the specifics." ”

When the governor heard this, he immediately became happy, no wonder the county magistrate concealed it and did not report it. However, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and hesitated a little, "After the county lord discovered the gold mine, he concealed the matter and refused to report it, so those villagers immediately sued me and came to me, if I follow his example and hide this matter, then wouldn't these villagers also have to sue and sue my superiors?" ”

When you think about it, it seems like a very tricky thing to do.

The subordinate also hung his head in despair, but soon he thought of a good idea, "My lord, there is a way for the little one." ”

"Really? Speak up and listen. The governor hurriedly asked.

"The gold mine in this field has not yet been excavated, it is unknown, and the people on it must not know how much gold is hidden in it. Why don't we just dig up as much as we want to hand over in the name of confiscation, aren't you the finalists? The subordinate laughed, "And these villagers are even simpler, as long as you come forward to be the master, punish the village chief and the county lord, and say a few words of comfort and concern to these villagers, they will definitely think that you are a good person." ”

I have to say that this trick is so ingenious that the governor couldn't help but nod his head again and again, and praised vigorously: "What you said is indeed a good idea!" Let's do this, and let the stupid people see how I do it. ”

So they immediately conspired for a while, and soon went into action.

Li Chuxia was successfully released, and he was very happy to reunite with Baili Yunzheng and express his condolences to each other, and then he recalled the matter of the gold mine.

The old woman said: "I didn't expect the village chief to conspire with the county magistrate to want to embezzle our gold mine, this is really hateful!" Fortunately, someone informed the governor in time, and the lord immediately came out for us, girl, you have been in prison for the past few days, and you have suffered a lot. ”

This old woman was very warm and simple, and looking at Li Chuxia, who had just come out of prison, she seemed to have some compassion.

She probably regards Li Chuxia as her own daughter.

"I'm fine, thank you, old woman." Li Chuxia smiled lightly, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked again: "Is the gold mine going to be confiscated now?" ”

The old woman nodded, and said truthfully, "Yes, the governor has already sent an official to dig the gold mines, and I believe that there will be good news soon." ”

She looked extraordinarily happy.

But Li Chuxia fell into deep thought, and then said, "Since the governor is digging for gold, let's go and see if there is anything we can help with." ”

She didn't actually trust these officials very much, after all, this was a lot of money, even if the county magistrate and the village chief were convicted, they might not be tempted after seeing the others, and they were not sure if this governor would be as greedy for money as they were.

At this time, the old woman hurriedly stopped her, "Girl, you must not go, the governor has already sent someone over to say it, then you are near the mausoleum of the lady concubine after all, and digging gold is also the favor of the mother, we lowly inferior people can't go over to see it, if we collide with the mother, it will be a big disaster!" ”

The old lady said that she was very scared.

Li Chuxia frowned.

She didn't believe in these feudal superstitions in the first place, I heard that this lady was just assassinated when she passed here, and then buried everywhere, just a concubine who was not favored, even if the grave was dug up, what big taboo could there be?

This really aroused Li Chuxia's suspicions.

However, at this time, the old woman was so superstitious and insisted on not letting her go, and she naturally did not force it, so she could only obediently obey the old woman's orders, stay in this room, and wait for the so-called good news.

Soon the governor sent an official to the door.

When the old woman heard the footsteps of the officials, she immediately greeted them happily, ready to see how much money they could get after the gold mine was dug up, but she did not expect the officials to come over dejectedly.

"This gold mine is not as good as we imagined, and there is really not much gold dug up, probably only three or four, and it has all been confiscated. However, in order to comfort and comfort you, the Governor has already instructed us to fetch some white-flour steamed buns and give them to you. ”

The gold mine has been smuggled, so what is the use of these white-flour steamed buns?

Li Chuxia felt very angry.

But there is no way, this plan of the governor is really seamless, on the surface it seems that there are indeed no loopholes, and they can't easily show it to the world in the other way behind the scenes, and now they can only suffer dumb losses.

After sending off these officials, the old woman was obviously very depressed, but thinking of a few people on the side, she still tried very hard to squeeze out a smile, "Actually, God is very merciful to us, although we didn't get much money, but we still gave us a lot of white-flour steamed buns, at least in the next three days, I don't have to go out to dig those roots and come back to cook." ”

Li Chuxia looked at this old woman, and her heart was indescribably distressed, "Old woman, don't worry, life will definitely get better." ”

"Hmm!" The old woman smiled and nodded.

Feng Bai looked at the scene in front of him and felt even more guilty, "I originally wanted to save my mother, did I not expect that this governor is also a corrupt official, and it seems that his methods are much more clever than the county master, I am really to blame for this incident." ”

Baili Yunzheng listened, and patted him on the shoulder, "Since the matter has passed, don't dwell on the past, you have already done your best, this is not to blame you, you don't have to blame yourself so much." ”

Although Baili Yunzheng said this, Feng Bai still sighed heavily.

Things have happened, the gold mine has been dug up, they have to think of another way to make money again, Li Chuxia did not be depressed because of this, but actively pulled Baili Yunzheng and Feng Bai to walk around here several times, and finally found that there was a unique wild vegetable growing on the mountain.

Li Chuxia had the idea of trying it, picked these wild vegetables and boiled them back into soup, but he didn't expect the effect to be extraordinarily good, the soup boiled out was very rich, the fragrance was ten miles, and Feng Bai even drank several bowls in a row.

These wild vegetables can not only grow in harsh environments, but also everywhere, it seems that the villagers here did not care much about these things before, not only can the villagers use them to fill their stomachs, but also can be boiled into soup and taken to the town to buy.

It's really a win-win-win-win thing.

After making up his mind, Li Chuxia immediately gathered all these villagers and completed this matter together.

Those villagers looked at the fragrance of the wild vegetable soup boiled out by Li Chuxia for ten miles, and couldn't help but praise, "You are really ingenious, you can make such a fragrant soup, I believe that anyone who smells it will can't help but come over and drink a bowl." ”

Li Chuxia smiled at them, "Thank you for not disliking my wild vegetable soup, as long as you can help, I believe that as long as we work together, this village will definitely become rich!" ”
