"Benefactors? Sit down. The old woman hurriedly stood up on the stool and hurriedly waved to Yang Linze and the others.

"Grandma. How long have you been living here? Yang Linze sat down next to the old grandmother and asked the old woman.

"Gee, I've lived here all my life, and it wasn't like this before. Although it is not very rich, life is quite passable. But I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing now. The whole village was panicked and hungry, and the fish in the ditch and the wild vegetables around it were all dug up. It's a sad day. The old grandmother said with a sigh while motioning to the little girl Ruan Ruan to bring water to a few people.

"Grandma, can I ask what's going on here?" Yang Linze looked at the water cup placed on the table, and the water cup looked really clean.

"Oh, thank you for the bread, but it's better for you young people to know less." The old grandmother was entangled for a while, sighed and said, it seemed that she didn't want Yang Linze to wade into this troubled water. may be afraid that Yang Linze and a few others will be involved and eventually cause trouble.

"It's all right, grandmother, you just tell it as a story, and we'll listen to it." Yang Linze looked at the meaning of the old grandmother. I also know my grandmother's concerns, and at this time, I can still worry about others and hide things.

"Okay, then I'll say a few more words, and the benefactors will listen to it as a story." The old grandmother looked at the expressions of several people, and knew that these people did not look like mortals, and they estimated that they had some ability, and the people in the village were probably saved this time.

"Okay, grandma, just say it." Yang Linze held a glass of water with an obedient expression.

"Okay, then I'll talk too much, our village was quite self-sufficient before, not to mention how rich it was, and the village was also happy." Speaking of the previous events, the grandmother's face has some yearning and memories for the past.

"But later. The way of the world has changed, and a group of officers and soldiers came, and they requisitioned all the middle-aged men in this village, and they didn't say what it was, but they all knew that the people didn't fight with the officials, so this matter was put on hold. Later, another group of people came, and taxes were raised, and after a few times, there was no food left in the village, and then, another blow was ushered in in the village, and all the 60-year-old men in the village were taken away, and the old men of my family were unfortunately taken out. The last time, the fatal blow, those officers and soldiers came back, bringing with them those who were wounded, and when they returned home, they tried their best to take the lives of those people, and in the end they still broke several of them. My old man also went. There was no food in the village, and there were no seeds left for planting, so they had to go up the mountains and down the river to find food, and how much food could be eaten, and it didn't take long for them to find food now, but fortunately, no one starved to death. When the old woman talked about the current situation, her tears were about to fall.

"Grandma, are there any survivors? We want to talk to them about what we're looking into. Hearing the loss of personnel, Yan Tianrui's heart jumped, and he suddenly thought of what happened before, maybe it was related to the collection of these people.

"Okay, Ruan Ruan, go and call all those grandfathers over, saying that I have something to ask them." The old grandmother thought for a while, got up and made a big salute to Yang Linze and the others, and then said to the little girl.

"Yes, Grandma." The girl said yes crisply, and ran out of the house.

"A few benefactors, I know that a few are not mortals, I will sue you for this grievance, a few can solve our village's gratitude, once you need any help, I should do my best, even if it is my wife's life, I will not hesitate." After seeing the girl go out, the old grandmother pulled the woman and knelt down in front of Yang Linze and said.

"Grandma, hurry up, we must investigate this matter for you and give you an explanation." Yang Linze hurriedly stepped forward to help the old grandmother up. There was only one woman left, and a few of them were not easy to move, so Yang Doudou ran to the front and pulled the woman's sleeve with his mouth and pulled it up.

"Grandma, uncles, they're here." After a while, Ruan Ruan came over with a few people who were a little old, and these people were a little staggering when they walked, but they didn't look old, but they looked like they had a lot of scars on their bodies. Especially the legs.

"Ruan Ruan, her grandmother, what are you looking for us? We're already like this, if you have anything to say, we must do our best, if it weren't for Village Chief Sun and Sun Yuan, we're afraid we wouldn't be able to come back alive. As soon as a few people came in, they said to the old woman.

"The old woman has thanked a few people again, this matter is about being able to recover our son, and to be able to avenge the dead villagers, these people have questions I want to ask you, I hope a few can answer truthfully. Avenge the death of our loved ones and bring our children back. When the old woman saw the attitude of several people, a large stone fell in her heart, and she said to several people.

"Okay, okay, we must answer truthfully, we must answer truthfully." As soon as those people heard this, their fierce tears were about to stay, and they said to Yang Linze and the others.

"After you were taken away, were you taken to a mine to mine?" Yan Tianrui glanced at Liang Ting, Liang Ting nodded, thought of the previous report, and asked a few people.

"Yes, yes, we were taken to a cave where we were kept mining for rocks with only a small amount of rest every day, and finally we were injured and had no way to continue working, so we were sent back." Those people had a trace of fear in their eyes when they recalled it, as if the life inside had caused them a lot.

"Do you remember the route you got there?" As soon as Liang Ting heard this answer, he was sure in his heart, it seems that there are not only prisoners in the mining of the mine, but also other people, it is estimated that these villagers were escorted over, and as for why he found this village, it is estimated that it is also because this village is relatively far away, and it is not easy to attract people's attention, and there are not many neighboring villages around, so it will be easier to deal with when the time comes.

"I really don't know about this, we were blindfolded when we were taken out of the village, and we went there directly after we hurried, and we were blindfolded when we came back." Those people said with some regret.

"Do you remember any features around the mine?" Liang Ting asked again.

"I don't know, I just know that there are mountains on all sides, and we live there, and we can't go out to eat or live." The men said.

"Okay, thank you a few people, let's try to find it, someone will come from the food tomorrow, and then ask a few people to accept it at the entrance of the village and organize the distribution, grandma, I'll trouble you tomorrow." Yan Tianrui promised to a few people.

"Thank you a few graces, thank you." For the people in the village now, food is the most important thing, and for Yan Tianrui's words, several people are excited. thanked Yang Linze and the others again and again.

"Mrs. Village Chief, please arrange some food distribution tomorrow." Several people glanced at each other, and they all looked at the grandmother and said, it seems that the prestige of this grandmother in the village is still relatively large, and part of it is estimated that it is because of the village chief, but it is more likely that the grandmother's personality is charming.

"Okay, the old woman will take this matter down, and I will ask a few helpers tomorrow, and I will hide the news today, and wait until tomorrow to surprise the villagers." The old grandmother stood up and recognized it, and in an instant, the whole person's temperament was different. When he said this to a few people, he was naturally afraid that the villagers would leak the news and ruin things. Naturally, when the food is distributed tomorrow, it will be rationed, and it will be explained that it is sent by well-wishers, and try to delay a little time for Yang Linze's others.

"Okay, Grandma Sun, let's go back first." Yang Linze and the others saw that things were almost arranged and took their leave.

"Okay, a few benefactors will be in trouble." Grandma Sun said to a few people.

"You're welcome, grandma." Seriously, if a few people from the Shen Governor's Mansion did something, it would be the imperial court that couldn't help these villagers, causing them to cause trouble in vain.

"Brother Yan, what's the matter with the mining stone you asked before?" On the way back, several people rode horses back the same way, and Yang Linze sat in front and asked a little curiously.

"It's this morning's incident, it was said that there was a private iron mine, and I didn't tell the court, someone was mining privately, and at the beginning I thought that those who were mining were prisoners, but now it doesn't seem to be like this, and it is estimated that there are still a lot of villagers in it." Yan Tianrui hugged Yang Linze behind him and said.

"They dare to mine iron ore privately, do they want to rebel?" Yang Linze was shocked when he heard it. This group of people is also too bold.

"I don't see that this Shen Governor's Mansion is still a little cautious in doing things, but it is a little different from what he showed on the day we met." Yang Linze listened to the whole thing and said with some doubts.

"That can only mean that there is someone behind this Shen Governor's Mansion." Bai Fan shook his fan and took over the topic.

"Have you figured it out, how will you act tomorrow?" As soon as they returned to the station, they sent people out to buy food, and in order to avoid attracting attention, different people went out to buy food, and each time they didn't buy much.

"Tomorrow, Liang Ting, you take Bai Fan to rescue people from the mine, and Yang Linze and I will pretend to go out to play again, send food over, and then come back to pick you up." Yan Tianrui said.

"Yes, General!" The two agreed in unison.

The reason why Bai Fan and Liang Ting were sent to the pit was also because these two people's light skills were better and not easy to be discovered, coupled with the special situation now, Yan Tianrui and Liang Ting were not at ease with the two of them, it was better to take the people with them, and they could still watch the point, and the reason why they didn't go to the pit together was originally a raid, and there must be someone monitoring around this station, let Yang Linze and Yan Tianrui go out to attract attention first, and Liang Ting and Bai Fan could raid.
