Chapter 57 Only the dead won't reveal secrets

Tang Xiyue was furious when she heard her father ask that question.

"Father, don't you believe me?"

"Although I don't know why the imperial court knew about this iron mine, it is real and has never been discovered before."

After thinking about it, Tang's father also agreed that it made sense.

He immediately comforted his daughter, saying, "Yueyue, it's not that your father doesn't believe you, it's just that this matter is somewhat unexpected."

"And this time, you said you'd use 8% of our family's assets to buy grain and medicinal herbs. If it doesn't rain and the flood doesn't happen, then..."

Then he probably won't be able to remain a big landowner.

Tang's father naturally didn't think that if the flood hadn't happened, the people wouldn't have suffered.

He is a person who prioritizes his own interests.

What does the life and death of ordinary people have to do with him?
He only cares about whether he can make money in the end.

Now, because of the mishap at the iron mine, Tang's father also has some doubts about the great flood in Cheng'an Prefecture.

"Oh, Dad, just trust me, there's absolutely no mistake about this."

"Anyway, you'll see if it rains then."

"If it rains, you should believe me. If it doesn't rain, you can take other measures later."

After thinking about it, Tang's father also agreed that this made sense.

In the end, the father and daughter reached a consensus.

Tang Xiyue also plans to go back, but...

“Father, the iron mine has now been taken over by the imperial court. Unauthorized mining is a crime punishable by the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan. If it is discovered, then our family… Father, only the dead can keep secrets from being revealed.”

As she spoke, a ruthless glint flashed in Tang Xiyue's eyes.

Although she looked down on the current Daqing Dynasty, it had not yet been overthrown, so she still had to be cautious.

Mr. Tang was stunned for a moment, then looked at his daughter with a complicated expression.

He nodded and said, "Go back now, Father knows what to do."

When Tang Xiyue came outside, she also saw the man named Zou Biao.

Tang Xiyue didn't say a word to him, nor did she greet him. She even looked at him with pity.

Zou Biao frowned as he watched Miss Tang leave.

There was something strange about his gaze.

Looking into his eyes, it was as if he were looking at a dead person.

No, he must have misread it.

Moreover, how could this Miss Tang and Mr. Tang be the same?

Zou Biao reassured himself, and then, hearing Master Tang calling him from inside, he went in.

Once inside, Zou Biao heard Master Tang tell him that the iron mine had been taken over by the imperial court, and the court was searching for those who were illegally mining iron. He was told to leave and go on a long trip to find a place to hide.

“…Zou Biao, come back after this storm has passed.”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your family."

"Yes."

Zou Biao felt that Mr. Tang's arrangement was quite reasonable.

He also felt that he needed to lay low for a while.

After agreeing on this, Zou Biao left.

After Zou Biao left, Mr. Tang's butler went inside.

The butler went inside and closed the door.

After a while, he opened the door again and peered out from the doorway.

After a while, he closed the door again.

Just as the door closed, Zou Biao, who was supposed to leave, emerged from the corner, slowed his pace, and slowly approached the study window.

Faint sounds could be heard coming from inside.

"Yueyue is right, only the dead can't speak."

"Go and properly send Zou Biao and his family off."

"Zou Biao's son seems to be only one year old, so should we also..." It was the butler's voice. Zou Biao's heart jumped, perhaps still clinging to a sliver of hope.

But in the end, a cold and ruthless voice still came from inside.

"Leave no one alive."

"Yes!"

Outside the window, Zou Biao's fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were even bloodshot.

He struggled to restrain himself from rushing in and questioning him.

He couldn't understand how the kind person who had saved him and his family could suddenly turn out like this.

Or... has he been misjudging people all along?

This man even targeted his one-year-old child.

This shows how extremely ruthless he is.

In the end, Zou Biao turned and left.

He quickly returned home, woke up his family, and then had them pack their bags and leave with them.

When the family passed by the county government office, Zou Biao hesitated for a moment, but ultimately held back.

He was wondering whether he should go in and report the man surnamed Tang.

Even being anonymous is fine.

But after looking at it for a while, Zou Biao said, "Let's go."

Let's not expose him; consider it repayment for saving him and his family back then, surnamed Tang.

After that, they had no further contact.

When the butler, accompanied by the assassin, arrived at the Zou family's residence, they found it deserted.

There was nothing he could do but go back and report to Tang's father.

After hearing this, Tang's father had very mixed feelings.

It seems Yueyue's decision was right after all; Zou Biao didn't completely trust him after all.

but……

Suddenly remembering something, Tang's father said, "Go to the county government office and keep watch to see if there are any traces of Zou Biao."

"Yes."

Because Zou Biao's family had fled, and Tang's father was afraid that Zou Biao would report him, Tang's father did not sleep all night.

Meanwhile, the steward and his men kept watch near the county government office all night, but ultimately found no trace of Zou Biao.

In the end, Tang's father also confirmed that Zou Biao's family had completely left.

"It's good that they left, but there are still risks." But now, Tang's father had no other choice.
-
More than a month after the envoy from the Great Golden Grassland left, he brought the prize of 500 Akhal-Teke horses.

Emperor Xuanhe, accompanied by Sui Sui, was now relying on the tall and mighty steeds before him.

Emperor Xuanhe was very excited, "Little Princess, it is all thanks to you that Daqing was able to win these 500 Akhal-Teke horses."

Sui Sui smiled at the praise from the emperor's nephew, "You're welcome. It's what Sui Sui should do."

Emperor Xuanhe: "That's right..."

He stepped forward and touched one of the horses. "It's a pity that Daqing can't breed these Akhal-Teke horses, otherwise Daqing could have its own Akhal-Teke horses."

It all started.

Even Emperor Xuanhe wondered if the breeding and propagation of the Akhal-Teke horse were related to the region.

Otherwise, why could the Akhal-Teke horses breed so easily on the Dajin Grassland, but not in Daqing?

It would be one thing if the Akhal-Teke horses sent from the Great Golden Grassland were castrated.

But these horses weren't castrated at all.

Has the heavens ceased to protect Daqing?
Thinking of this, Emperor Xuanhe couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Sui Sui tilted her head, thought for a moment, and realized that her nephew meant...

Do you want these horses to have foals?

My nephew seems really troubled. If she has a solution, she should definitely help him.
