Chapter 152 Gold and Iron Ore



Many people shook their heads in their hearts. That person is so weird. He would never mind other people's business.

Hua Changjue and Hua Lingjian both knew that it must be Qingqing who summoned the beast! That saved the lives of the children. But they could not say anything.

It seemed that there was nothing to be learned from asking them. The children were all a little too frightened. Everyone decided to go back first and talk about other things tomorrow.

Holding the child in his arms, he walked back. An Yi picked up Cui Wei distressedly, and used Qinggong to quickly leave.

Wang Xiaopang and the others chattered on and on, talking about all the details of the animals fighting the bad guys, and they described it vividly and excitedly.

Everyone realized how thrilling it was just now. Everyone was still frightened.

I am even more certain that it must have been done by the master deep in the mountains.

Hua Changjue frowned and looked at Li Zhan.

"They came to the back mountain. They must have some plan. We'd better investigate carefully to see if there is anything else in the back mountain that we don't know about. See if there are other people who are in cahoots with them."

Li Zhan nodded, thought about it, and decided not to wait until tomorrow. He would lead people to search the back mountain now to see if there was anything they could find.

Before reaching the village, several children were already fast asleep in the arms of their families.

In the middle of the night, Wang Xiaopang slept restlessly. He woke up several times and cried out of fear. Later, he developed a high fever.

His grandmother, his parents, stayed with him all night long.

The same is true for Xu Sheng and Zhu Yu.

The three families were very distressed. There was nothing they could do. Fortunately, they took antipyretics. When it was almost dawn, the temperature dropped.

Of course, except Hua Qingqing, she did not wake up in shock, nor did she have a high fever. Instead, she slept soundly.

No one noticed that a white figure was standing quietly outside Hua Qingqing's window, looking at her quietly.

It was almost dawn when Li Zhan came back with his men, his face full of solemnity.

By the next day, all the children were sick, and Hua Qingqing was also feeling listless.

Hua Changjue went to the parliament, but was afraid that Hua Qingqing would be bored alone, so he carried her directly to the parliament hall. Everyone was a little confused, but no one objected.

Li Zhan talked about the findings of yesterday's search.

"Zhou Yangxi's body was found deep in the mountains. He must have been mauled to death by a brown bear."

After he finished speaking, he paused and said with a serious expression.

"I found a path hidden in the back mountain. I've checked it. It leads directly down the mountain."

Everyone was shocked.

What if someone sneaks up the mountain from behind, wouldn’t it be unnoticed by anyone?

Everyone was sweating coldly. They thought, fortunately they found out. Otherwise, they would all be like meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Li Zhan pursed his lips and continued.

"We also found a man-made cave. There was a large amount of gunpowder inside."

Everyone was now so shocked that they were speechless.

"Explosives! Do they want to blow us to death?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Li Zhan shook his head.

"I'm not sure about that for now. But last night, I took people to destroy that road. I also collapsed that cave."

“Even if someone wants to come up now, it’s not easy.”

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zhan took out a bag and asked someone to wear it to see the stones inside.

"I also found some strange stones in the cave. I don't know what they are used for! But it seems that Zhou Yangxi and the others care about these stones very much!"

“I found this kind of stone in their house, too.”

Everyone looked at what they were wearing, but no one recognized it.

When the news reached Hua Changjue, Hua Changjue, Hua Lingjian, and Yu Jinzhi also shook their heads. They didn't know what these stones were for.

There are obviously two kinds of stones in this bag. One is grayish and a little bluish purple. The other is grayish white with tiny yellow dots on it.

Hua Qingqing looked over curiously, and then said in surprise.

"Iron ore? Gold ore?"

[Oh my god, this place is actually a gold and iron mine. ]

[Then Black Wind Village will become rich! ]

Hua Changjue was stunned. He looked at the two stones carefully again, but still couldn't see anything.

The others also heard Hua Qingqing's words and came over to look at the two stones. Each of them had a curious look on their faces.

I wondered if what the little kid said was true? This really is iron ore and gold mine.

Wouldn't that mean they've made a fortune? No, that's not right! Things like iron ore and gold mines are all tightly controlled by the imperial court. If the news gets out, they'll get nothing.

At this time, Hua Qingqing wrinkled her nose and thought about the original information.

[Oh, I remember now! Zhang Meng's repeated attempts to take over Black Wind Village were not for the purpose of eliminating violence and protecting the good.]

[His biggest goal is that Black Wind Village has gold and iron mines! ]

[And this is unknown to the imperial court. Zhang Meng can use it at will.]

[Zhang Meng later occupied Black Wind Village and used the iron ore to make many weapons.]

[Gold mines are used to pay military salaries and buy military rations! ]

Hua Changjue and Hua Lingjian looked at each other, their eyes shining.

Now that we know Zhang Meng's real purpose, it will be easy to deal with. To be cautious, Li Zhan went outside to find an old man who knew about iron and gold mines.

The results have all been confirmed to be true.

After a while, they went to the cave in the back mountain to investigate and found that the stones here were all iron ore. They crossed the hill and found that the other side was full of gold mines.

Yu Jinzhi glanced at Tao Yao carefully. He finally understood Qiu Mobai's purpose of releasing people here. It was for money!

He said that Qiu Mobai was a person who would not do anything without profit, so why would he pay attention to a small mountain village.

Hua Changjue spoke.
