Farmer's Favorite

County magistrate Jiang heard the people below say that Zhuang Xinyan had come to the door.

For some reason, I always feel a little upset.

Although he is very grateful to Zhuang Xinyan, after all, if he hadn't offered it free of charge, he wouldn't be able to get a reward for the rapeseed oil.

But if you know, you know, he thought carefully, it seemed that every time this person came to the door, nothing good happened.

You know, he will go to Beijing to resume his post in a few days, hoping that nothing will go wrong in these few days.

Thinking about it, magistrate Jiang still asked the people below to bring people in.

When Zhuang Xinyan entered the door, he saw the luggage being packed outside. He entered the hall, first greeted him, and then said, "Your Excellency, are you leaving?"

County Magistrate Jiang nodded and said, "As far as the day after tomorrow is concerned, the new county magistrate will come over after a few years."

"The day after tomorrow, I will bring my family to send you off." Zhuang Xinyan saw the magistrate Jiang's hand that wanted to refuse, and he continued: "Your Excellency, you don't need to refuse, you have helped our village a lot this year. It's what we should do to give you a ride."

"You." County magistrate Jiang said helplessly, but with a happy expression on his face, he said: "Come here today, what's the matter?"

Zhuang Xinyan directly reported more things about Shixiang Village.

And asked people to bring the villagers of Shixiang Village who caught them on the road to the county magistrate.

County Magistrate Jiang frowned, he really knew a lot about Shixiang Village.

The village collapsed, and no matter what was found inside, their yamen was obliged to check it out.

At that time, the officials below told him, but nothing was found.

After that, it was rumored that someone had found gold and silver in the subsidence of Shixiang Village. He also sent people to investigate, but nothing was found.

I thought it was a rumor, but now it seems.

Things are not that simple.

If nothing happened in Shixiang Village, the villagers would not be so cautious, and Zhuang Xinyan's people were really trapped in the black hole, then there must be something mysterious.

With a calm face, he asked in a loud voice: "You explain so much, what is your village hiding?"

At this time, Shi Lei's legs were so frightened that his legs became weak, and it would be better to say that he was sitting on the ground instead of kneeling. He shook his head violently and shouted repeatedly: "Your Excellency, what's wrong with us?" I didn't hide anything, the villain is just out of the village, I really don't know that I will be arrested."

County magistrate Jiang looked suspicious.

But he knew in his heart that after all these years of serving as an official for his parents, he had already cultivated a pair of eyes to see people. This man spoke with a flustered expression, not panic of being wronged, but panic of fear of revealing something.

In this way, he stretched out his hand to signal, and called some people to wait.

About half an hour passed.

What happened came out.

Shixiang Village actually discovered a large tomb under their village a few years ago.

However, because of the many traps inside, it is impossible to reach the innermost part, but in the side tomb, some funerary objects were found, which immediately lifted their village out of poverty.

For these villagers who have been impoverished for so many years, the things below are not a treasure mountain for them.

No matter what good things are there, if the people in their village share them, everyone will be able to live a good life.

But once the outsiders know about it, the wealthy life that they have seen will be gone.

So, Village Chief Shi and others discussed for a long time, and insisted on keeping these things a secret.

Seeing that several years of good life have passed, it turned out that not long ago, when they were digging a hole in private, it suddenly collapsed.

Fortunately, nothing happened to anyone.

It's just that the commotion was so big, and the collapse was such a big movement, it immediately attracted many people to come.

As Zhuang Xinyan said before, although this village is Shixiang Village, it does not belong to them. Anyone has the right to enter the village. They can stop one person, but they cannot stop a group of people.

Especially when some people actually picked up gold from the black hole, more and more people came here.

Fortunately, because of the subsidence, the road they dug before has been buried, and the rest is nothing more than the things they haven't searched, which are rarely and completely worthless, and they don't know that the man is gone What luck was able to pick up gold.

After a while, there were fewer people coming and going, and the villagers of Shixiang Village felt relieved again.

Then, until the day before yesterday, their village welcomed two more people.

Again, no idea what luck they had.

In the black hole, a secret passage was discovered.

Shi Lei said: "Those two people are very happy, but we know that if they really leave the village, the secret we have buried for many years will definitely be exposed, so the village chief asked us to take those two people down, who knows, one of them will After some punching and kicking, the two retreated to the secret passage, and we followed in, but found that there were many small passages inside, and no one was found, so we planned to use fire to attack, and when we were preparing, you came."

Zhuang Xinyan frowned, he really didn't expect this.

If the people in Shixiang Village really want to use fire to attack, then the two of Shannai will be in danger in the mountains.

He then said: "My lord, Shannai is still in the black hole at this time, can you send someone to rescue him.

"

The county magistrate Jiang naturally agreed, and immediately sent people to Shixiang Village.

At the same time, in Shixiang Village, Village Chief Shi and the others felt more and more uneasy.

Shi Lei left for such a long time and never came back to reply, they inevitably had some bad guesses in their hearts.

Some people really couldn't wait any longer, he said: "Village Chief, will Shi Lei be discovered?"

"Will people know about us?"

"Why don't you stop, we just dug some things from the ground and sold them for money, and we didn't make any big mistakes. Otherwise, if we rescued the two people in the cave, we wouldn't have killed or hurt anyone." something's up."

"That's right, it's better to rescue the person. There is no food or water in there. If the person dies after a long time, we can't get rid of it."

There are those who are afraid, and there are naturally those who are not afraid.

"You fools, if you really want to tell the story, how can we have such a good life in the future?"

"That is, if you don't dig out valuable things, can you still eat meat? Can your daughter-in-law still wear new clothes?"

"Then you have to live to spend."

"Coward, get out if you don't dare to do it!"

The dispute between the two parties was inextricable.

Village head Shi had already made a decision in his heart at this time.

In fact, he already knew a secret that no one else could know about the tomb below their village.

It's just that I haven't mentioned it to anyone.

It is also because of this secret that there are two paths for others, but for him, there is only one.

That is to grit your teeth and hide this matter, no matter what, you must not let outsiders know.

He looked a little grim, and said: "Get the hay ready, we set fire to attack those two people, we must not let them leave alive."

As soon as this was said, some people were gearing up, while others were hesitant.

The hay had been prepared a long time ago, and in about a moment, the group arrived near the collapsed cave.

With his head held high, Village Chief Shi watched the villagers work together to pile up the hay, and he slowly stepped forward with a torch.

But on such a short journey, a person suddenly ran out to stop him, and said: "Village chief, think about it again, if our village is really going to be killed, then all of us will be destroyed, don't you look at it?" For our sake, what about our children? They are still young and have no elders to take care of them, what should they do?"

At this time, several people stepped forward and followed behind this person. Although they did not speak, they showed disapproval on their faces.

It is a good thing to live richly.

However, the price for them to live a rich life is to let two living people be choked to death in the cave. If this is the case, they would rather live the poor life they used to have than worry about being caught , and guilt all day long.

Village Chief Shi said angrily, "Get out of the way."

As he spoke, he pointed to a person beside him: "Da Zhu, pull them away."

However, his words did not move anyone, including Da Zhu who had been supporting the village chief at first.

The reason is actually very simple.

Everyone wants to live a rich life.

For money, they would rather take a risk.

However, they dare not take risks with their own children.

If the yamen found out about setting fire to kill these two people, then their entire village would be both insiders and murderers. When they were arrested, what would happen to the children in the family?Becoming children without father and mother, they can only wander around begging, even if they are better, they have to sell themselves as slaves to serve others. It is almost impossible to say that when they come out of prison, the children will be gone.

A gust of wind passed by.

There are hundreds of people in the whole place, but there is only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

Not quiet, but unexpectedly suffocating.

Village Chief Shi was anxious and even flustered, but he also knew that if his panic was seen by these people, then this matter would really fail.

He could only pretend to be calm, and said: "Do you think I don't care about my family? I also have children, so how can I ignore my family, just for their benefit, I am willing to take this risk."

While talking, he suddenly raised his voice: "We still have time, get rid of those two people, we will dig through this cemetery, dig out all the valuable things inside, we will leave this place after we divide, go to Live elsewhere."

As soon as this was said, someone moved their minds again.

If you leave this place with money, you can also live a good life, and you don't have to worry about other things.

Dazhu took a few steps forward, he swung the person in front of him away, and said viciously: "Hurry up and get out, don't share things with anyone who doesn't want to, we will share everything."

Someone takes the lead, and someone will naturally follow behind.

In this way, Village Chief Shi took the torch and walked to the stacked hay.

Slowly lowering his hand, just as the corner of his mouth curled up into a sinister smile, looking at the heat on the torch, he said: "Our good days are coming."

At this time, a faint voice came from behind them.

"Oh? I want to see what your happy life will be like!"
