Chapter 465: There is another hidden secret
If Zhou Shan was smart, he would definitely follow the clues she gave him to investigate.
If the weapon design is really leaked from the mine in Pingyang Town, the other miners and stewards will be held responsible, and Zhou Shan will naturally not be able to escape.
Su Liuye asked Sister-in-law A Niu to prepare some food for her, and sat by the window and looked out, there was a stove next to her to keep warm.
She originally wanted to wait here for Ah Hu to come back, but not long after she sat down, several village names came under the wall on the side. They seemed to have come to take shelter from the wind, and they didn't notice Su Liuye sitting here at all.
They wanted to go and just come back from a busy day, resting and chatting at the same time.
Probably because the mine is right in front of them, most of their topics are related to the mine. When I talk about the mine recently, I naturally talk about the situation on the other side of the mine.
"I heard that the mine will be shut down in batches for the next few days, to check if other miners are quietly hiding something."
"It's deadly! I really don't know what those people think, the wages in the mine are so high, and the wages are three times higher during the Chinese New Year! It made such a big fuss that the people from the government came to search, saying that they had taken something inside! It's really a sin, I didn't expect that there are still people doing these things now, I'm really not afraid that my family will suffer! ”
"They don't have any family anymore, so they must not be afraid." An old man with a bamboo basket on his back put things down. Probably tired, he leaned against the wall and gasped.
Hearing the old man's words, an uncle next to him was also curious, "Old medicine boy, do you know anything?" ”
The old medicine boy is the person who specializes in collecting medicine here, from childhood to now, he knows the medicinal materials on the mountain well, and there is no place he doesn't know.
Usually, if they can't find a doctor, they can only find a medicine boy to help them see a doctor, which is equivalent to half a doctor, and they also have some reputation in the village.
The old medicine boy took a big sip as he wanted to take a big sip, "Of course I know!" Half a year ago, I saw the people of the Zhao family walking on the mountain, and I saw that their faces must have picked some herbs on the mountain to eat, and they didn't understand and ate them there. I've already told them, but they don't listen at all, can the herbs in the mountains be eaten indiscriminately? I reckon they're all dead now! ”
The old medicine boy's words were cruel, and he seemed to be angry when he thought of it.
When Su Liuye heard this, she couldn't help but look over.
The people next to him were surprised, "Are you reading it wrong?" Why did they go to the mountains to pick herbs to eat? There are so many herbs on the mountain, and we don't know how to eat herbs, if we accidentally pick the wrong herbs and eat them, we will die! ”
"I think they're just looking for death!" The old medicine boy said angrily, "How can you eat these medicines indiscriminately?" I saw Daddy Zhao's face turn blue that day, and I could see at a glance that he had eaten a lot of poison, and something would definitely happen if he continued like this! I told them to go to the doctor, but they didn't want to go at all. ”
"When did this happen?" The villager asked curiously.
"It was half a year ago, and it was still summer."
"It's been a long time! It seems that this is also the case, we have indeed not seen Daddy Zhao and them for a long time, so it should be long gone, right? ”
When the villagers said this, their faces changed greatly, as if they had thought of something scary, "Zhao Qiang shouldn't have known that his father was poisoned, so he had the courage to run out of the mine, right?" ”
"Won't it?"
"Why not? Otherwise, if you think about it, if his father and mother are alive, how dare he do such a thing? Aren't you afraid that the government will come to you? ”
"That seems to be the truth! Zhao Qiang's mother is long gone, if Zhao's father is really poisoned, he will have no relatives in the world, and he will have no worries about doing things. ”
"No wonder, how do you think a normal person would do such a thing? In fact, it is understandable for Huang Li and Zhao Qiang to say this, when the yamen forced their two families to death, they should have thought that there would be such a day. ”
"yes......"
Everyone began to sigh while chatting, only the old medicine boy pursed his lips with disdain, and picked up the herbs in the bamboo basket to go back.
When Su Liuye saw this scene, she hurriedly went out to stop the old medicine boy and asked him about the Zhao family.
"What are you asking these things for?" The old medicine boy looked at her vigilantly, and saw that she was dressed brightly and gorgeously, and she didn't look like a person from the village or a town at all, so he suddenly became even more vigilant.
Su Liuye had already thought of his rhetoric and said, "Old man, you misunderstood, I know the director of the mine. I'm here to investigate this matter. ”
"You're looking into this?" The fox suspicion in the eyes of the old medicine boy is even stronger, but seeing that her skin is white and tender, and she is also handsome, maybe she is the son and brother in the capital.
The old medicine boy wondered whether he should believe her or not.
Su Liuye took advantage of the victory and pursued, pointing to Uncle Niu's house, "Old man, I just heard what you told them in Uncle Niu's shop, if this matter has an inside story, I hope you can tell me." You also know that there are other miners in the mine, and if something really happens, the other miners will be implicated. If you know anything sir, please tell me, I want to stop this from happening. ”
When the old medicine boy thought about it carefully, it seemed that the same was the case.
He'd been collecting medicine in the mines, and he knew a lot of miners, but he didn't want them to have an accident.
After thinking for a moment, the old medicine boy still told her everything.
It's nothing more than what he just said, when he met Daddy Zhao on the mountain, he looked wrong, as if he had been poisoned, the old medicine boy was worried that he would go to see a doctor, but Daddy Zhao completely ignored him.
Now that he heard that Zhao Qiang had escaped from the mine, Father Zhao immediately thought of it.
"You don't know! In fact, I met Huang Li and his mother a year or two before I met Father Zhao, her face was also very ugly, she was sitting on the mountain in a daze, I went over to ask her if something happened, she didn't speak, she kept sitting there. The old medicine boy said this, and his face was a little strange, "At that time, she was holding a letter in her hand, and when I leaned over, I saw some, which seemed to have been sent from the city, and it said that some dead people died, so that they should not be sad. ”
"Is there such a thing?"
Su Liuye suddenly realized that something was wrong, and she asked, "Old man, what else do you know?" ”
"This ......" The old medicine boy hesitated a little, but thinking that this matter was widely implicated, he couldn't sit still, and said, "This son, since you are from the other side of the mine, then you should know that the Huang family originally had three sons, right?" ”
