Chapter 85 The truth comes out
Wu Youdong asked his subordinates to clean up the battlefield and headed towards Du Heng and Jin Hua.
Jin Hua silently led the women to restrain the corpses of the clansmen who had spilled blood on the spot to protect them. She had done too many such things these days, and her face was filled with a numb look of death; while the women and children around her were holding their arms on the ground.
The corpses of husbands, sons, and brothers cried bitterly.
The victims were in rags and were in broken shape. They were holding the bloody corpses on the ground and just wanted to die. The perpetrators were all fat and strong. They knelt down on the ground unwillingly under the threat of iron and steel, with eyes like wolves.
Like a tiger.
Jinhua and the others had clearly killed their enemies, but they didn't expect that they would continue to suffer unreasonable disasters because of a fake gold mine. Haha, how can there be any justice in this world?
Du Heng closed his eyes and saw only blood red, Long Wan Zong, Zhou royal family, very good, very good...
"Fellow folks, are there any injured people? I also brought a medical officer..." Wu Youdong also looked unbearable.
Those tribesmen just retreated silently, as if they were blending into the dark forest behind them, and the sunlight could not penetrate.
"There are no injuries, only dead ones." Jin Hua said without joy or sorrow.
Wu Youdong rubbed his hands helplessly, not knowing how to comfort him:
"Girl, don't be afraid. I am not the county magistrate of Mengla. I am Wu Youdong, the magistrate of Chuncheng. I have received a secret report that bandits and Annan people have been active in this area recently. The local government seems to be colluding with them, so I
I brought people here specially..."
Some tribesmen began to whisper: "He's the prefect of Chuncheng! I've heard of him! He made drastic reforms in Chuncheng and did a great job!", "If it's really him, then he might return those dog officials.
no the same!"……
Jin Hua calmed down a lot: "Since you are the prefect of Chuncheng, why did you come to this remote place like ours?"
"Girl, I am not only the prefect of Chuncheng, but also the inspector of Yunnan Province, in charge of prisons;
The Governor-General and the Governor also expressed their opinions. Wu is here to eliminate banditry and clean up the ranks of Mengla officials. I can swear on my life and property that Wu is dedicated to the people and has no selfish feelings!" Wu Youdong raised three fingers.
vow.
"Haha, so what, most of my people are already dead! People can't be resurrected! If you officials are capable, why didn't you find those dog officials from the beginning! So many people in our village died in vain
!”
For the first time, Jinhua showed her madness, and she wanted to rush forward and hack those Annan people to death. She finally had a way to vent her anger, but it seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
No matter how much the enemy's blood was on her hands, the blood of her tribe gradually cooled like ice; along with it, the tortured hearts.
Du Heng hugged Jinhua tightly: "Jinhua, don't be like this! He saved you! He is also helping you seek justice. You shouldn't be like this!"
When Jinhua heard this, she sat down on the ground as if she was exhausted, and couldn't help but cry loudly: "Why, what is this, Master..."
A young girl like Jin Hua was not crying because she couldn't buy her beloved dress and jewelry, but she was crying because her family was broken and her family was broken. Everyone present was heartbroken and shed tears.
Some feel pitiful, while others shed tears directly for their unknown future and destiny.
When Wu Youdong heard Du Heng's Beijing accent, he cast doubtful eyes on him.
"Hello, Uncle Wu." Xue Feibai and Du Heng took off their masks and recognized Wu Youdong at the right time.
"You are..." Wu Youdong squinted his eyes and recalled carefully: "Xue Jiafei Bai and Du Xiaoniang!?"
Jinhua looked at Du Heng in shock. Du Heng had a big head, and he couldn't explain it...
"Yes, Uncle Wu, Du Heng and I got married. When we came to Yunnan to visit relatives, we just happened to have this incident..."
Xue Feibai called Wu Youdong and walked to a place to talk. Wu Youdong did not expect that the juniors who were just acquaintances would meet again in this way...
***
Jinhua handed over Duan Biao and the others who were just poisoned but not dead to Wu Youdong, and then took them to the bandit's mining site at the end of the rope bridge in the forest and showed it to Wu Youdong.
"Master Wu, it is this gold mine that has attracted thieves one after another..."
Wu Youdong instructed his men to continue mining from the largest hole, and he went around it himself. Sometimes he looked into the distance, sometimes he got down and pinched some grass, and sometimes he picked up the soil and smelled it.
Finally, he said to himself: "It shouldn't be, this place doesn't look like a place where gold is produced..."
"Sir, we have it!" Ma Wu's high-pitched voice echoed from the long mine below, whirling around underground.
Before the echo ended, a large yellow stone was thrown up, hitting Wu Youdong's stretched-out head.
"Ouch! I'm going to do it next time!" Wu Youdong fell to the ground, covered the swollen bag on his head and grinned.
"Oh, it's really gold!", "Our village actually produces gold! I can't blame so many people for robbing it!"...
The clan members' discussions were like ocean waves, each one drowning out the other.
Wu Youdong picked up the big piece of "gold" and couldn't help but look at it. After looking at it for a while, he said: "This is not gold!"
"Ah! What!", "You can't be lying to us and want to monopolize it..."
Du Heng and Xue Feibai, who had known each other for a long time, were not surprised and looked at each other. They just felt that Wu Youdong really had two skills, and they could tell with just one glance!
"My great-grandfather practiced elixirs for Emperor Cheng Ye, and I know a lot about various stones; this thing is natural copper, and I am very familiar with it." Speaking of his great-grandfather, Wu Youdong had a flash of disgust on his face. Du Heng was sure.
Thoughts.
"Compendium of Materia Medica" records: 'Natural copper smells pungent, flat, and non-toxic. It is mainly used to treat fractures, disperse blood, relieve pain, and break accumulation; eliminate congestion, drain pus, regenerate muscles and bones, treat postpartum blood evil, provide peace of mind, and relieve panic and palpitations.
Grind it with wine and take it. 'Although this ore is a stone, it is also a medicinal material that can connect bones and muscles, but it is definitely not gold."
Wu Youdong pointed at the cross section of the ore, which was indeed whitish and not gold-yellow orange.
Xue Feibai's eyes shone with excitement: "I remembered! This is fool's gold! It is also called yellow iron, and in Wusi Tibetan it is called 'Danmujian Lado'. It is indeed a blind ingredient in the Tibetan medicine system.
Medicinal materials!”
Du Heng looked at him with interest: "Wusi Tibetan language? You know quite a lot~"
Wu Youdong stroked his beard and nodded: "There is another way to determine, but it will be slower..."
"Mengla is hot and rainy. If the stone is exposed to the air, it will rust naturally." Du Heng continued.
