Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

The door of the small Buddhist hall was kicked open with great force. Aunt Zhang was guiding from the front. Behind her stood seven or eight burly men with fierce looks and fierce looks on their faces. The big knife in their hands had residual blood stains.

"Aunt Zhang, it is indeed you!"

Ningxiang held the broken porcelain in her hand and gritted her teeth, but there was not a single tear in her eyes.

Her parents were murdered, and the murderer was right in front of her. Since she couldn't escape, she would use her last strength to avenge her parents!

Aunt Zhang was no longer as weak as when she asked for help. She crossed her arms and squinted her eyes and smiled: "Damn girl, you are the only one who slipped through the net!"

There were about a hundred people in the village, and Aunt Zhang and her husband were recorded one by one, except for Ningxiang.

After staying in the village for three whole days, Aunt Zhang still couldn't find anyone. She thought that Ningxiang might have been eaten by wild animals when she went to the mountains to cut firewood. If she hid in the village and couldn't bear the hunger, she would definitely come looking for food.

Furthermore, the body could no longer be placed in the heat of the day, and rats were scurrying around, so a hole must be dug and buried first.

Aunt Zhang was moved and claimed that the village was attacked by bandits. She ran to the official road to call for help, hoping to find someone to report to the official and solve the matter as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Ningxiang was so smart that he hid in the cellar for several days. If they hadn't found someone to search the village, they would have been careless!

"Speaking of which, the little lady has helped us a lot!"

Aunt Zhang looked at Jiang Yuzhu and exclaimed, "What a beauty! Her skin is dripping with tender flesh. It would be a pity if she didn't die like this. I might as well take advantage of my brothers!"

Aunt Zhang started, and the men's eyes were lustful and unscrupulous.

Xie Zhao stood in front of his wife without leaving a trace, his eyes dark and murderous.

There were so many people on the opposite side, and Ningxiang looked horrified. Even so, she still stood in front of Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu and said: "Aunt Zhang, you have already committed a great evil, don't implicate innocent people anymore!"

"Innocent? If they hadn't rescued you, we could still have a good time together, but right now..."

Aunt Zhang squeezed out a few words through her teeth, "They must die. Only dead people can keep secrets."

"But I didn't tell the secrets of the village!"

Ningxiang was shocked and looked at Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu with deep apologies.

Especially when there was no movement outside the courtyard gate, Ningxiang thought that everyone who came had been taken care of by Aunt Zhang's people, and she felt even more depressed.

In the Buddhist hall, the candles became increasingly dim and could only illuminate the outlines of the people, and even their expressions could not be seen clearly.

A cool breeze flowed in through the cracks in the door, bringing with it waves of corpse stench.

Jiang Yuzhu stared at a clump of gorgeous dianthus planted next to the Buddhist hall and asked: "Aunt Zhang, we came to help with good intentions, but we ended up on the road of no return. Is this the end that good people should have?"

"If you hadn't rescued the dead girl and kept the secrets of the village from being leaked, we wouldn't have had any trouble. We would only have you to blame for your misfortune."

Aunt Zhang smiled coldly and didn't care about life or death. Killing a few more people was no big deal anyway.

"In this case, you have to be clear about it. What is the secret of Xiahe Village?"

Jiang Yuzhu originally suspected that all the people in the village were bandits, so Jin Pen washed his hands and came to settle here. This makes sense for the large amount of treasures hidden in the small Buddhist hall.

However, after visiting several households in succession and observing the living habits of the villagers, Jiang Yuzhu changed her mind.

Although the villagers are wealthy, they are still raising chickens, ducks and other items and working hard. This is contrary to the previous conclusion obtained from bandits.

"Why, to delay time?"

Aunt Zhang didn't care, they still had other people.

Just as she was about to speak, Ningxiang said first, "My hometown is in the southwest, and my ancestors all worked in the mines."

"About two years ago, Aunt Zhang and her husband came to my parents and said that their relatives were working in the mines around the capital and wanted to hire experienced miners to work in the mines."

Originally, my family did not agree with my parents staying away from their hometown.

At that time, Ningxiang was often bullied by the boys in the clan because she was a girl.

"My father felt sorry for me, so he brought my mother and me here in a rage, and we stayed here for two years."

After arriving, my parents realized that they had been cheated.

Aunt Zhang had no relatives who were in charge of the mines, but... gold mines were discovered around Xiahe Village.

Jiang Yuzhu looked at the clumps of dianthus at the door and immediately believed it.

Dianthus has been proven to be often associated with gold mines, and it seems so!

Ningxiang mentioned the word "gold mine", but no one reacted. Xie Zhao rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought again.

"The Daqi gold mine is extremely rare. If the news gets out, the government will definitely know about it. Not only that, but private mining will also be held accountable."

The craftsmen who were deceived boarded Aunt Zhang's pirate ship and were helpless, and Aunt Zhang also used this to blackmail everyone.

As the scale of mining increased and the quantity of gold mines produced increased, many simple people could not withstand the pressure and had the idea of ​​​​reporting to the Yamen.

"Nowadays, Daqi is suffering from internal and external troubles. When my parents learned about the war in Beiland, they never slept peacefully for a single day. They thought that even if they had to go to jail, they wanted to tell the Yamen the good news. However, Aunt Zhang wanted to make money and tried to comfort her openly. Village people, in fact..."

Those who agreed to inform the government were killed completely, including children who were waiting to be fed. These people were so cruel!

Ningxiang finished speaking in one breath and finally cried.

In the past few days, she had been hiding in the cellar, thinking of her parents' previous instructions.

Her parents told her that if something unexpected happened, as long as she didn't starve to death, she must not leave. Aunt Zhang was suspicious and would definitely send someone to guard her at the entrance of the village.

Ningxiang remembered it and hid in the cellar for a few days.

After Jiang Yuzhu heard this, her jaw almost dropped. She thought it would be good to make some money, but she accidentally discovered a gold mine.

"I'm just a dying person, I'm not afraid that you will know."

Late at night, Aunt Zhang smiled strangely, which was creepy.

It would be the same if she sent a few more people on their way. After two days, she would go to Guandao to try her luck.

Xiahe Village is a new village. If all the villagers disappear, it will trigger alarm. In order to achieve a seamless situation, the tragic death of the villagers must be blamed on the bandits.

Jiang Yuzhu was thoughtful and asked: "Based on time, where is the gold you got after two years of mining?"

Aunt Zhang is so cautious and will never deposit money into Wantong Bank.

The gold must be hidden in the village.

Aunt Zhang showed a venomous look in her eyes and snorted coldly: "How can a dead person have so many problems?"

Her patience reached its limit, Aunt Zhang took a step back, and several strong men behind her stepped forward, blocking the way to escape.

Xie Zhao, who had been silent all this time, slowly opened his eyes and said coldly: "You people, have you seen enough?"

At the end of the sentence, Xie Zhao's voice became colder and his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Aunt Zhang's man thought he was talking to him, so he swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "I haven't seen enough. Your wife is a beauty. We not only want to see it, but also touch it..."

Before the word "touch" could be pronounced, a stone had already shot through Aunt Zhang's man's throat.

He fell to the ground with a plop, his eyes widened and twitching on the ground, as if he had seen a ghost.

Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind blew outside the door, and more than twenty men in black fell from the sky.
