"After Wei Yunqing died, his soul was trapped. Shuangbao rescued him and performed rituals for him. Now, he has been reincarnated. However, before he left, he told Shuangbao that the only thing he cares about is Lord Lian. He said Lord Lian was a good official who was framed and wronged, and the injustice he suffered should be redressed."
Little Shuangbao said softly.
When Lian Keyuan heard this, he was stunned.
He stared at Xiao Shuangbao and suddenly remembered what she had said at the beginning, that she was not only the daughter of the God of War, but her mother was also a disciple of Xuanmen.
Lian Keyuan had been an official for many years, so he naturally knew what Xuanmen was.
But he could never have imagined that little Shuangbao, who was only a little baby of three or four years old, had such great abilities!
"Two years ago, Wei Yunqing chose to commit suicide by taking poison in order to avoid slandering me. He was truly a good kid. Alas, what a pity..."
Lian Keyuan's old face suddenly showed a sense of regret.
"Master Lian, how exactly were you framed by Jingzhao Yin Tang Defan? Why did he harm you?"
At this time, Xiao Shuangbao asked.
Only after knowing the whole story could she go back and tell Emperor Cheng Xuan.
“It’s because of an iron mine.”
When Lian Keyuan talked about this, he couldn't help but sigh again, "I used to be the Minister of Works. The Ministry of Works was responsible for managing engineering affairs throughout Dongqi State, such as civil engineering, water conservancy projects, military equipment, mining, metallurgy, and textiles.
“Two years ago, villagers discovered a large amount of iron ore on a mountain outside the capital.
“You are young and may not know the uses of iron ore.
"Once iron ore is discovered, it will be officially mined. The mined iron ore will be used by the Ministry of Industry to make military equipment, such as swords, spears, and halberds used by soldiers. All of them require iron ore.
"Now that Eastern Qi is threatened by the Northern Rong to the north and by the Southern Yan to the south, and with many other small nations surrounding it, it is imperative that we produce more and more weapons.
“So, iron ore is very important to us.
"But who would have known that after the iron mine was discovered, it was concealed by Jingzhao Yin Tang Defan and not reported to the court!"
Even though two years had passed and Ke Yuan had lost everything because of this incident, he was still filled with indignation when he mentioned it again. "I don't know who Tang Defan was working with to illegally mine iron ore, but he was unlucky and encountered an iron mine collapse.
"He hired mountain people to mine, and hundreds of them died in that landslide.
“Now that this matter has come to light, our Ministry of Industry will naturally take over.
"Tang Defan came to me privately, hoping that I would cooperate with him to suppress this matter, and promised me benefits. However, iron ore is related to the security of the Eastern Qi Kingdom. Tang Defan cooperated with others to secretly mine. Who knows whether the iron ore he mined was used to secretly forge weapons with the intention of rebellion, or to secretly cooperate with the Northern Rong or Southern Yan Kingdom?
“Of course I won’t do that.
"I didn't expect that Tang Defan would frame me and put the entire thing on me.
"At that time, he sent people to search my home and found several account books and several boxes of gold. He used them as evidence to accuse me of collaborating with others in mining, leaving me unable to defend myself. Coupled with Wei Yunqing's death... my guilt was proven."
Speaking of this, Lian Keyuan naturally still felt very aggrieved.
When Xiao Shuangbao heard him talk about this, she couldn't quite understand some of what he said.
But she still understood the point.
It was this Tang Defan who did something bad himself, and after the crime was exposed, he put the blame on Lian Keyuan.
Lian Keyuan, an honest man, was caught off guard at all and was badly tricked by Tang Defan.
"This Tang Defan has too many evil intentions."
Little Shuangbao couldn't help but mutter at this moment, "Not only did he scheme against Mr. Lian, he also plotted to kill the honest Wei Yunqing.
"Shuangbao must deal with this kind of bad guy!"
Lian Keyuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Little kid, now that you're here, you can't even protect yourself, how are you supposed to deal with the bad guys?"
As he spoke, the smile on his face turned sad again, "This prison is a private prison built by Tang Defan, and all the people imprisoned are those who were framed by him. Since you are here, it means that Tang Defan will keep you here forever.
"And this place is underground, making it difficult to escape..."
Lian Keyuan couldn't help but sigh with pity when he thought that even the daughter of the God of War was trapped here.
"Master Lian, you were framed and imprisoned here, but Shuangbao was imprisoned here on purpose. Moreover, Shuangbao has already gone to get help. I believe that it won't be long before we can all get out."
However, Little Frost Treasure said confidently, "But, Frost Treasure is curious about another question now."
"What's the problem?"
Lian Keyuan had been trapped for a long time. Although he didn't believe that Xiao Shuangbao could really bring reinforcements to save him, he still couldn't help but ask.
"Master Lian, why did Tang Defan imprison you in this private prison instead of just killing you? Are you, and the two others imprisoned beside you, of any use to Tang Defan?"
Little Frost Treasure asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Lian Keyuan immediately looked at Xiao Shuangbao with new respect and was very surprised!
He didn't expect that the little baby in front of him, who was only three or four years old, could see the problem so sharply!
"That's right, Tang Defan could have killed us directly, but he spared the three of us. There's only one reason for this—Tang Defan harbored heinous intentions and wanted to manufacture firearms!
“And we three are the only ones who know how to make firearms!
