Of course, there was a reason why Lin Suisui chose to start with this family. From what she knew, among the families in the village that were on good terms with the Fang family, this family was the closest to Mrs. Luo’s family. Secondly, there were only the three of them in the family now. It was said that the men had gone to the town to do work and rarely came back. Therefore, even if they were trapped in Mrs. Luo’s home, no one would suspect anything for the time being.

This change in situation was too sudden. Not to mention the three of them, even Mrs. Luo and the others, who were prepared, were still shocked.

“Madam Liu, what are you doing?” Mrs. Luo looked at Lin Suisui uneasily.

!!

Although she knew that Lin Suisui wasn’t the kind of person who would attack people without a care, she was still a little shocked by this commotion.

After all, the three of them usually had a good relationship with Mrs. Luo’s family, so it was really difficult for Mrs. Luo to accept that they were evil people with ulterior motives.

“Aunt, go out with Rui’er first.” Lin Suisui didn’t answer Mrs. Luo’s question directly and only turned around as she said to her in an unyielding tone, “After everything is investigated, I’ll naturally tell you the truth. However, I still have to ask you to wait a little longer.”

When Mrs. Luo heard Lin Suisui’s words, she knew that the seriousness of this matter had exceeded her expectations, so she didn’t ask further. After she agreed in a low voice, she brought Fang Rui’er out.

Only Lin Suisui, Su Le, and the others were left in the room, as well as the mother and daughter, who were already tied up on the ground.

“How about it? Do you want to tell me yourself, or should I get someone to speak up for you?” Lin Suisui waited for Mrs. Luo to leave before looking down at the three people on the ground.

The woman had already recovered from her initial panic at this time. She looked up at Lin Suisui with an innocent and pitiful expression. “Madam, we really don’t know what you’re talking about.

We were born and raised here. We have a household registration as proof.

If there was really anything fishy about us, the villagers in this village would have captured us long ago. Although we don’t know why you’re treating us like this, we also know that you definitely wouldn’t capture us for no reason. There must be a misunderstanding.

“Madam, please investigate the situation clearly and let us leave.”

The woman’s words were reasonable. Not only did she not express resentment towards Lin Suisui’s mistreatment, but she even showed understanding and acceptance.

However, Lin Suisui was unmoved by her kindness.

She only looked up at Su Le. “I’ll leave the rest to you guys.”

After saying that, Lin Suisui stood up and left with Bai Guo and the others without looking back.

At this moment, Lu Ze was on the mountain. However, in comparison to Lin Suisui, Lu Ze’s methods were not that gentle.

The brothers on the mountain originally wanted to persevere for a while longer, but after less than an hour of torture, the two of them revealed everything they knew.

Not only did they tell Lu Ze everything he knew, but they also took the initiative to bring Lu Ze and the others to the mine in the mountains.

During the questioning along the way, Lu Ze finally understood why they felt that this village was so strange.

Just as Lin Suisui had speculated, not only this village, but even the villagers in the nearby villages had been replaced.

Ever since the Gu family had accidentally discovered a silver mine in the mountain, the Gu family wanted to hide it and monopolize it.

However, if they really wanted to hide this kind of thing, it was very difficult for their family to do it alone. Therefore, after thinking about it, they thought of the Lin family, which had always had close ties with them.

The first step for the two families was to clear out the villages near this mountain range.

The villagers, who had originally lived here in peace, were caught up in the crisis. The Gu family brought soldiers to kidnap them and bring them into the mountain. They became miners who were confined in the mountain and never saw the light of day.

The villagers living in the village now were all servants transferred from the Gu and Lin families’ farms. In order to prevent these servants from betraying the Gu and Lin families, they didn’t move entire families over. Instead, they implemented arrangements that made it convenient for them to monitor each other. If anyone was acting suspicious, the others would immediately report it and punish them severely.

Some of these people’s families worked in the silver mine in the mountain. The few times Mrs. Luo and the others had seen people enter the mountain and come back was when the men in the village had gone to change shifts with the mountain people.

Actually, if not for Mrs. Luo’s family and the Fang family’s second son working in the army, coupled with the fact that they were refugees who had just migrated, they probably would have been sent to the mine in the mountains to do manual labor long ago.

As Lu Ze figured out everything, Lin Suisui also made considerable progress in the village.

The news she received was similar to what Lu Ze had received. The cruel truth immediately made Lin Suisui’s expression turn solemn.

This scheme didn’t just happen in the village in front of them, but in four or five nearby villages as well.

According to the mother and daughter, it had been two years since this silver mine was discovered. In the past two years, how many innocent villagers had died in that dark mine?

“They’ve already been sent home.” Seeing that Lin Suisui’s expression was unpleasant, Bai Guo hesitated for a moment before comforting her, “Don’t worry, before this matter is settled, they won’t spout nonsense.”

“In the past two years, the villagers in the nearby villages have been replaced. Could it be that the higher-ups really didn’t notice at all?” When Lin Suisui thought of how this matter involved all kinds of factors, she couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine. “These villagers probably had families and relatives outside. How could those people turn a blind eye to all of this?

Or could it be that someone had actually discovered that something was wrong a long time ago, but this news couldn’t be sent out?!”
