“What?” Yang Ye asked.
“An earthquake has occurred in Shuifeng Prefecture to the west of Rooster Mountain, shaking the earth and sending tremors to Rooster Mountain, hence the cracks in the secret tunnel. Because it was night and the shaking was blocked by Rooster Mountain, people in Anping Village didn’t notice the quake.”
“However, with the earth shaking, Shuifeng Prefecture has suffered terrible damage. Countless people in the Prefecture City were buried under rubble and numerous homes were destroyed. Such a huge natural disaster requires this batch of treasures for disaster relief.”
Yang Ye “…”
Damn!
Qiao Xiaomai”…”
God damn it!
Holy crap, was it that obvious?
It wasn’t man-made but a natural disaster!
TongTiehu “…”
Your old blood is stuck in your throat, really gonna suffocate yourself to internal injuries!
Yang Wang also looked shocked, “General Cen, is this news true?”
“It’s true. I just received the news too. An entire Prefecture City was destroyed; the Court has to open the National Treasury for disaster relief. Prince, you’re in charge of the household department, you know exactly how much silver the National Treasury has right now. This natural disaster has once again brought a heavy burden to our Daqi.”
Yang Wang sighed, “Looking at it this way, this treasure must indeed be found.”
He weighed the brick in his hand and looked at Yang Ye, “Fourth Brother, what do you say?”
Yang Ye “…”
What can he say?
What could he say under these circumstances?
At the beginning of the year, he went to Qinglu Prefecture to treat the snow disaster and it took several months.
The snow disaster was hard on the people due to the freezing cold, and he was in a rush then, always having an elusive unease in his heart during meals.
Now it’s the earth shaking. That’s far more severe than a snow disaster.
Shuifeng Prefecture… What a living hell it must be at this point!
Seeing Yang Ye hesitating, Qiao Xiaomai was immediately anxious.
To be precise, she had been on edge ever since she found out Cen Hong was going to dig up the village.
At least before Yang Ye was standing in the way. Now that Yang Ye was silent, no one could stop Cen Hong and Yang Wang!
The first to be dug up would be her house. Were there any peculiarities in the dirt pit she had dug up before?
The Tong Family’s secret tunnel was bound to be discovered!
At this thought, her gaze shifted and fell on Tong Sanlang, her eyes determined.
Tong Sanlang met her gaze calmly, standing tall.
He understood Qiao Xiaomai’s meaning. On the way to the village entrance earlier, Tong Tiehu had also hinted at him to leave.
Leave, of course, he had the ability to leave.
But after leaving, would he have to live under the wanted order of the Yang Family and the pain of his whole family’s death? And to calmly watch Qiao Xiaomai get married and have children?
What’s the point of such a life?
Not leave, and stay here.
Die, with his family.
His nonchalant attitude irritated Qiao Xiaomai so much that she wanted to bite her teeth in anger. But with so many people watching, she could only muster a forced smile and said to Yang Wang, “Who could have thought that just a while ago we were eating lunch in the courtyard, and now our home is about to be gone.”
“Miss, don’t worry, I will compensate you with silver, one thousand taels, what do you think?” Yang Wang said.
Although Qiao Xiaomai could not be compared with the treasure, if she could have both, that would still be good.
So she needed to maintain her composure at this point.
Upon hearing this, the smile on Qiao Xiaomai’s face became a bit more unnatural. “Your Highness, as long as you justly compensate me, the extra silver should be used for disaster relief.”
“No, it’s only right to compensate you for your inconvenience,” Yang Wang said, looking at Yang Ye. “Notify the villagers, tell them to pack up their belongings quickly — these soldiers, five thousand to dig the village, five thousand to set up tents in the fields.”
