Chapter 1141 We are willing to tell you the secret

"It's quite difficult to refine one piece, right?"

Jiang Wan was good at chemistry and physics in her previous life, but she asked herself that it would take some effort to refine them.

"Yes, the workmanship was rather crude at first, but gold was in short supply."

The village chief's eyes sparkled. "Then my father took me to refine it several times, and finally it was refined to the same level as the gold traded outside."

At that time they never thought that such a disaster would happen.

Because the village chief and his father were very cautious and not greedy at that time.

They told this secret to all the men in the village, and he naturally became the next village chief.

He led the men to refine it day and night, never making any big moves, and took turns from one family to another.

The refined gold was beaten into small pieces like old gold, so it would not arouse suspicion when used outside.

And so their secret was kept for sixty years.

Hearing what the village chief said, Muxiang was almost shocked, “There are so many people in your village.

No one has evil intentions. If the imperial court knew about this, it would be a serious crime punishable by execution of all nine generations of the clan, right? "

“Yes, there are. When the news was first announced, many people rushed to dig.

After my father made an example of me and severely punished me, no one dared to do it again!"

The village chief knew that the most important thing was that they were from the same family and all had the surname Tian.

Even married daughters don't know these secrets.

The daughters only knew that there was a way to get rich in their village, but they didn't know the details.

Speaking of this, he frowned angrily, "Those people are clearly coming for our treasure.

I guess the girl who married out accidentally found out about this and exposed the secret of our village, which led to her death."

Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows lightly and said helplessly: "Village Chief, it's not that I don't believe you.

According to you, how much gold can you produce in a year?"

The implication is that there doesn't seem to be much, and it doesn't seem likely that the other party would make such a large effort.

Of course Jiang Wan wanted to test whether they knew the secret under Tianjie Lake.

"One year..."

Speaking of this, the village chief paused, "Day and night, it's only about a thousand taels."

There are so many households in their village, so the share is not much.

"Yes, one thousand taels is fine for all of you villagers, but do you think it's too much for people with so many killers?"

Jiang Wan guessed that the person who left the treasure map also left other clues.

If they can come over, then those people can come too.

"That being said, this is the biggest secret of our village!"

Village Chief Tian was puzzled, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Mrs.

In fact, we suspected that there was a gold mine under Tianjie Ridge, but we didn't dare to act rashly.

Illegal mining is a capital crime, and we are content as long as we can feed and clothe our children."

Of course, it's not just the courage, they also don't have the ability.

The more he talked, the more he felt that this was the case. "They must be coming for the gold mine. What should we do?"

"If you trust us, I'll take care of it."

Song Jiuyuan had no intention of letting Xingyue Tower go and helping Tianjie Village, he just wanted to deal with the other party more quickly.

The elders were hesitant to speak, and were obviously reluctant to do so. However, the village chief was a man who knew what was going on.

He quickly assured, “As long as you can help to deal with the person behind the scenes and keep our villagers safe.

We don’t want any gold or silver mines! We’ll give them all to you!”

He spoke so forcefully that an old man jumped up in surprise.

"Village Chief, how can you give everything to others? What should we villagers do?"

"Yes, we have lived on this for generations. If..."

"Stop talking, I've made up my mind,"

The village chief stopped these people from talking and said seriously, "When these things were not discovered.

Our ancestors lived well, and even without Tianjie Ridge, we can still live well with our own hands!"

When he talked about the word "alive", he pronounced it with emphasis, showing that he is a man with a big picture.

Hearing this, Jiang Wan gave Song Jiuyuan a look, and Song Jiuyuan said:

“Since we promised to solve the problem for you, we will naturally protect you.

But no matter what kind of mine this is, it can’t be kept. If you want to protect the people in your village, you have to report this to the court.

As long as they send people over to refine it, they will no longer target you."

Of course Song Jiuyuan didn't say that he would personally deal with the people from Xingyue Tower.

Upon hearing this, the village chief's eyes lit up slightly, and then he seemed to think of something and said:

"But we have kept it secret for so many years, and the court..."

"I'll take care of it, you just treat it as a discovery."

Song Jiuyuan was not partial to them. He and Wanwan took away so many treasures.

Although it had nothing to do with these people, it was the treasures that brought them disaster.

Just consider it as accumulating blessings for the children.

Jiang Wan did not object to this. Ruoshui wanted to say something, but Muxiang gently pulled her back.

"Don't worry about the Master and the others."

"I know."

Ruoshui curled her lips. Master and Song Jiuyuan were really kind. They would give away such a good thing.

Even she was moved after hearing it.

well!

"Okay, we'll listen to you."

The village chief could see that Song Jiuyuan and his men were not ordinary people, and so many men in black could not do anything to them.

"Well, go back and have a good rest. If anyone comes again, we will take action."

Song Jiuyuan nodded slightly. After going through so much trouble for so long, Song Jiuyuan felt a little sorry for Wanwan.

I was afraid that Wanwan would catch a cold, so I wanted to go back and rest early.

Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately understood and called away the reluctant people. It seemed that they had another small meeting to hold.

Jiang Wan and the others returned to Tianyu's residence. As soon as they arrived, Tian Niang appeared with a smile on her face.

"Ma'am, I made some midnight snacks. Would you like to share some?"

Their family was not wealthy, but because Jiang Wan saved her, she reluctantly killed all the chickens in the backyard.

Of course it was to express gratitude to Jiang Wan.

The house was filled with the aroma of chicken soup. Jiang Wan noticed with her sharp eyes that several children were drooling.

But Jiang Wan and the others didn’t eat. They didn’t dare to eat.

"My children can't eat these. I'm not hungry yet. Please let the children eat them."

Jiang Wan refused with a smile, but Tian Niangzi had already filled a large bowl and handed it to Jiang Wan.

"My benefactor, we don't have anything delicious or expensive at home, so please don't despise it."

Her eyes were sincere and Jiang Wan couldn't refuse, so she and Song Jiuyuan shared a bowl.

Tian Niangzi filled some more food for Muxiang and Ruoshui. Muxiang looked at the pitiful children and didn't eat much.

Ruoshui was different. She was hungry and ate with big mouthfuls, which made Muxiang glare at her several times.

"What are you staring at?"

Ruoshui seemed not to notice and ate happily, and Tian Niangzi was not angry either.

She added some noodles to the remaining broth and cooked them for the children.

The children's lives were saved by a benefactor, so what is a chicken?
