Chapter 79 Never die in peace (2)

"Okay, what a Xie Jia, what a Xie Yi!" With a bang, Xia Hanyu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

She wanted to see how he would explain all this to her then!

"Shopkeeper, please get up first. Let me ask you, do you know where the mine is?"

Xia Hanyu felt that there was no need for another trial, so she went directly to borrow troops to level the place!

Counting the time, her five thousand and four private soldiers are already on their way.

The shopkeeper stood up, shook his head slightly and said: "The common people don't know, but the mine was found by the villagers of Cangshan Village. I think they may know it, but there may be more than that."

"how do I say this?"

"As far as the grassroots know, everyone in Cangshan Village who knew the address of the mine, regardless of gender, old or young, was arrested. And Cangshan Village is also the worst village in our Qingshan County. People from other villages blame them for not informing them about the mine.

County government, really only the elderly and children are left in their village now, and some people around my age have been arrested, and I heard there were many casualties."

As for how he died, a doctor once secretly verified it.

Either beaten to death, or... exhausted to death.

"It seems like we still have to go to Cangshan Village first."

Cangshan Village is a relatively remote village in Qingshan County. It is surrounded by mountains and there are not many fertile fields. Therefore, most of the villagers in Cangshan Village rely on the mountains to make a living. Their daily source of livelihood is to dig some wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in the surrounding mountains.

Waiting for medicinal materials to be sold, or being a hunter, specifically catching animals to eat or sell.

It was precisely because of this that they discovered the copper mine by mistake, which eventually turned into a disaster.

After resting one night at the inn, Xia Hanyu and Xia Ji didn't take many people with them early the next morning. They only took Yu Xiao, Poria and Bai Zhi to Cangshan Village on horseback. Oh, there was another one who insisted on following them and couldn't ride a horse.

Xia Chengyun.

Xia Hanyu left him to the person he hated the most...Xia Ji.

On the way, Yu Xiao asked Fuling in a low voice.

"Miss Fuling, we have been so careful all the way, but yesterday His Highness suddenly admitted his identity to the shopkeeper? Isn't she afraid that he will reveal our identity?"

"That's impossible. Let me tell you, although His Highness has admitted his official status, he has already made people keep an eye on the boss, just to see if he will betray us and go to the county to file a complaint. If he

Anyone who dares to betray His Highness will definitely die."

Although she didn't think so, His Highness had said that it's best to be careful when going out.

It's best not to trust anyone but yourself, no matter how harmless the other person seems.

Yu Xiao immediately expressed admiration, "As expected of Your Highness, you are smart."

Fu Ling looked proud, "That is, my Highness is the smartest person in the world."

"So do we adults."

Anyway, Yu Xiao has never seen any case that can be difficult for their adults.

After saying this, the two suddenly looked at each other and revealed a rather mysterious smile.

Therefore, Lord Xia and Her Royal Highness the Princess are really the best match, right?

In front, Xia Ji and Xia Hanyu were riding horses side by side, and in Xia Ji's arms was the crown prince, who looked decadent.

Looking from a distance, it really looks like...a family of three.

They soon arrived at Cangshan Village.

The road in Cangshan Village was so narrow that only one horse could pass, so Xia Ji led the way on horseback.

Until they entered the village, they found that compared with Qingshan County, this village was only worse, and they could hardly see the slightest bit of popularity.

"Why is there no one?" Xia Hanyu frowned, turned over and dismounted neatly.

Yu Xiao quickly dismounted and pulled the horse's rope over.

Bai Zhi walked to her side, her eyes full of worry, "Your Highness, have they noticed it, so..."

She wanted to say that those people might have massacred the village, but found that she couldn't say it.

"Probably not."

Xia Ji and Xia Chengyun dismounted and came over. Xia Chengyun hurriedly ran behind Xia Hanyu and hid.

It's a pity that the person he was hiding from didn't even look at him.

"Your Highness, you see, there is no trace of blood on the ground. With the arrogance of that group of people, even if they kill people, they will not help clean up the blood stains. So... they must be still alive, maybe somewhere in the village. It's also possible that he hid in the mountains."

Xia Ji analyzed it bit by bit.

Xia Hanyu nodded in agreement, "I think about the same thing as you."

"Let's go, let's go look inside first."

She remembered that the old couple said before that the house they lived in was at the end of the village, and maybe others were there too.

The group of people walked towards the back and saw someone soon.

The reason why they couldn't see anyone in front was because everyone was in an open space at the back, and a sad atmosphere filled the entire village.

Soon, someone noticed the arrival of several strangers, with strong hostility and defensiveness in their eyes.

"Who are you?"

Apart from the gray-haired old man, there were only five or six-year-old children present.

In the middle of the empty space stood an old man who also had gray hair.

Xia Hanyu never thought that they would be holding a funeral.

The two old men soon discovered them and immediately walked up to everyone with excited faces.

"Don't get me wrong, they are the kind people who sent us back before and are here to find us."

Everyone then put down their hostility and turned around and returned to their positions.

"Mr... Miss, sir, please come over here."

The two old men took them to their houses and took them to sit on the stone benches in front of the door.

"Your Highness Princess, Sir, you are here today but there is something else you want to ask us?"

Xia Hanyu nodded, "It's the same question I asked you on the road before."

"Is it true that no one in your village knows the location of any copper mine?"

The two shook their heads, "We asked around when we came back, and everyone said they didn't know."

"Originally, the old man Bai may have known that he had said he had found that place before, but he had already...he died without waiting for his son, daughter-in-law, or his ten-year-old grandson!" He died with eyes closed. ah!

As they spoke, they couldn't help covering their faces and weeping, unwilling to accept the old man Bai.

"We didn't even have time to tell him that he had accepted our complaint and arrived in Qingshan County." Old Man Bai died the day before they came back, only one day away!

Xia Hanyu and others felt a little uncomfortable immediately after hearing this. Fu Ling had been crying for a long time and her tears were falling from her eyes. Yu Xiao hurriedly comforted her.

Xia Hanyu pursed her lips and closed her eyes, "We are still late after all."

But now even the villagers of Cangshan Village don't know, so they can only find someone to keep an eye on the person named Xie, or the magistrate of Qingshan County.

Let them show their feet eagerly first,

There should be another chapter or two added today, but I'm not sure of the specific time.
