"Now that someone has died, there are so many coal miners on the mountain, and the relatives of the deceased know about it. The news must have spread. How did Master Lin deal with it?"
Lin Zixuan said proudly: "The four people who died were hired later. They didn't sign any consent forms for life and death, so my second uncle only gave five taels of silver to each of them for their families to bury them."

After much deliberation, he sent a letter to Kang Yueran.
After listening to Zheng Yuan's story, Kang Yueran praised him and promised to reward him with 20 taels of silver. Then, she went to the Lin family to find Lin Feng alone.
