After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Hu Zi's mother burst into tears: "So that's how it is, so that's how it is, Hu Zi's father... are you still alive? Ah..."

"Yeah, mining is so dangerous. If the mine collapses accidentally, will the people inside survive?"

The people were talking about it and were all worried about their families. It turned out that they had all been deceived by Nie Tian.

Seeing everyone hugging each other and crying, Lord Du gave a look, and his subordinates understood and turned around to bring the people over.

"Mother Hu Zi, Hu Zi..."

This familiar voice made Hu Zi's mother's heart tremble. This was the voice of Hu Zi's father.

"Mom, look, it's Dad. Dad was rescued by Lord Du. Look, Mom..."

The strong Hu Zi couldn't hold back at this moment. His father was back, and he and his mother had someone to support them.

"Hu Zi's father..."

Hu Zi helped her mother to meet Hu Zi's father. When the others saw their men come back, they also came forward crying, feeling like they had survived a disaster.

But there are also a small number of people who go to extremes. Either the man does not come back, or he comes back but there is no one at home.

“Everyone, all the survivors in the mine are here, and I will take them with me for an investigation.

Nie Tian, ​​the lord of Yunzhou City, dug a gold mine by himself and has been apprehended by this official. Nie Pengyun is aiding and abetting the evil and even harming the people. His crimes are so serious that he needs to consult his superiors.

From today onwards, Yunzhou City will be temporarily managed by my people, awaiting the emperor's order."

Du Kangsheng captured Nie Pengyun and all the people from the City Lord's Mansion. He wanted to handle this matter properly and protect the gold mine.

The people rescued from the mine were also taken away by him first, but knowing that their men were fine, Hu Zi's mother and others were already satisfied.

When returning to the inn, Lin Ting and the others went back together with Cheng Si. Lin Ting talked to Cheng Si as they walked.

"Boss Cheng, your information is quite accurate. Also, your strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain is very effective. It is simply the right time, right place, and right people."

Cheng Si laughed so hard that he couldn't take it: "Madam Lin, we have a community of interests. You don't want to see my Huayan shop fail in Yunzhou City, do you?"

Lin Ting smiled but said nothing. The terrain of Jiufang Mountain was prone to the production of minerals. Shen Qingzhou had deduced this when he first got the map.

But Cheng Si's words and actions hinted that the place was different. Shen Qingzhou asked Hu Zi to lead the way, and the two of them explored at night and indeed found the mine.

According to Shen Qingzhou's many years of knowledge and theoretical research, the mine contained gold. After confirmation, he and Hu Zi went to find Magistrate Du.

With Magistrate Du here, Lin Ting and the others can ask for Magistrate Du's order tomorrow to go and dig the snow on the official road.

"Boss Cheng, after we leave, you can distribute the rice I bought in Yunzhou City to the people outside the city once a day. I hope it can help them survive until the wild vegetables grow."

One meal a day is not enough to fill you up, but it won’t starve you to death either. This is all Lin Ting can do to help.

"Okay, I will handle Madam Lin's arrangements properly, don't worry."

Cheng Si knew very well that the Nie family would never be able to stand up again this time. From now on, Yunzhou City would be managed personally by officials from the Dongxia Kingdom, and they would no longer be oppressed by local tyrants.

When they returned to the inn at night, Lin Ting looked at Shen Qingzhou's arms and hands, which were all scratched. He turned around and took out the ointment from his bag to apply on him.

"The road to Jiufang Mountain is difficult to walk on, and the snow on the mountain hasn't melted yet. I want to see if there are any stones or anything like that in the wound."

Lin Ting approached Shen Qingzhou and cleaned his wound.

“Although I suffered some injuries this time, I think it was worth it. With this gold mine, Dongxia Country can build many things.

And I saved so many people from danger. This is what I should do."

Shen Qingzhou was very happy after saving people. This was his original intention. Serving the country and the people was the ideal of all scholars.

"You're lucky this time. Exploring the mountains is still too dangerous."

Shen Qingzhou smiled as he watched Lin Ting applying medicine on him, his eyes full of love. In fact, the position of Lin Ting in his heart was comparable to her official position.

"Stop looking. I'm scared when you stare at me like that."

It would have been fine if Lin Ting hadn't said this, but as soon as he said this, Shen Qingzhou suddenly hugged her in his arms.

"Why are you afraid of me? I won't eat you."

He didn't do anything to Lin Ting, but just held her quietly and warmed her bed.

"My lady, you still owe me a wish. Have you forgotten?"

How could Lin Ting forget? That was what she promised Shen Qingzhou.

"I remember it. Why, have you thought of your wish now?"

Shen Qingzhou: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I'm afraid you've forgotten."

“No…No…”

As they were talking, Lin Ting fell asleep. Shen Qingzhou lowered his head and looked at Lin Ting's sleeping face gently, and gently brushed away the hair that fell on her eyebrows with his fingers.

The tender affection in his eyes was like an invisible thread, tightly entwining him and Lin Ting.

He stroked Lin Ting's face, kissed her forehead, and hugged her to sleep.

……

The next day, Lin Ting was awakened by the noise downstairs. It seemed that a lot of people had come downstairs of Yunlai Inn. The noise was so loud that he couldn't hear what they were saying.

"Master Lin, Shen Qingzhou, get up quickly, hurry up!"

The one who came to call Lin Ting was Wan Weiran. Usually, if there was such a commotion outside, Wan Weiran would be the first one to go out to inquire and see what was happening. Now that he came back to call Lin Ting, it must be about them.

Sure enough, when Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou went downstairs, they saw that the door of Yunlai Inn was full of people.

The owner of the Yunlai Inn even brought out a few pots of charcoal for them to warm themselves together, and it looked more like he was waiting for Lin Ting.

Lin Ting saw Hu Zi's family. His father also came back from Lord Du's place. The family members had tired eyes, but they couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.

"Huzi, what are you doing?"

Almost all those people outside the city who had received favors from Lin Ting brought their own men with them, and they all held farm tools such as axes and shovels in their hands.

"Mrs. Lin, thank you for saving our lives. If you hadn't come to Yunzhou City, none of us would be alive today.

Hu Zi's father, I, and everyone else have discussed this. We have received such great kindness from Madam Lin, and we don't know how to repay you.

But we heard from Hu Zi that you all wanted to go to the capital, but you were unable to go because the snow from the mountain slid down and blocked the road.

To express our gratitude to Madam Lin, Mr. Shen, and Doctor Wan, those of us who were still able to move climbed up the official road overnight and cleared the snow from it.

Now that the road is open, I hope you can reach the capital soon, and I also wish Mr. Shen success in the imperial examinations."

The cold wind was howling, and Lin Ting looked at a group of thinly dressed people, their red hands frozen, and their bodies shivering from the cold.

Lin Ting was very touched that they cleared the road overnight so that they could travel as soon as possible. She felt that sometimes, people's hearts were not all bad.
