Chapter 271 Buying land to open up wasteland and fooling little flowers (8)

In the following days, Xiaohua often went to the mountains to find Dabai to communicate with him. Mo Yan didn't know how Xiaohua communicated with Dabai. Anyway, Xiaohua came back several times with several big blood holes on her forehead.

But this guy became more and more courageous as he got frustrated. Every morning he kept the chicken that was given to him for Dabai to pick up. When he came back in the evening, he was as hungry as a ghost and could eat two basins full of food.

What happened next, Mo Yan didnt pay too much attention to, because the low-lying land he bought before to grow rice actually dug out a spring.

Girl Yan, its hard to block the dug spring, and its no longer possible to plant rice.

Li Zhong felt a little guilty. If he could have people block the spring in time, the land would not be flooded.

Grandpa Li, dont blame yourself. Digging out the spring is a good thing for us.

But Mo Yan was very happy. She originally thought that after buying that piece of land, irrigation would be a little troublesome. She didn't expect that God would be so powerful and send a spring. Not to mention that there was no problem in growing rice. It was just the small surrounding areas. She also wants to buy the **** land.

Li Zhong was stunned, "Yan Yatou has a good idea?"

Mo Yan nodded, "It's better to thin it out than to block it! The water flow in the spring is not small. We can dig a small pond and use it to store water. In this way, the land around the small pond will not be affected, and it will not be used to grow rice. Wouldnt it be nice to worry about irrigation?

Li Zhong's eyes lit up, he slapped his head and said in annoyance: "Why didn't I think of that? Looking at the spring water flowing out, almost submerging the entire area, I thought about how to block the spring eye, but nothing happened. I thought of digging a pond."

Mo Yan smiled. It wasn't that Grandpa Li was not smart enough, it was just that the spring was too strong. After it was dug, the water flowed so much that Lao Gao didn't think about it for a while.

Having a solution, Li Zhong couldnt wait to run to the village and find some young and strong laborers to dig ponds.

Many people in the village are feeling sorry for the Mo family who spent so much money to buy a piece of useless land. Now when they heard that the Mo family was looking for someone to dig a pond, those who were smarter immediately knew the Mo family's plan.

For a time, everyone was envious. They felt that the Mo family was so lucky. A spring was dug out of a random mountain nook, and the water source was guaranteed. As long as they were tidied up properly, the land would be good.

While the Mo family was digging a pond in full swing, Mo Yan quickly bought up all the slopes around the land.

The area of the surrounding slopes is much larger than the land in the middle, adding up to a total of 120 acres. These lands were ordinary mountainous lands, costing only one tael of silver per acre. Mo Yantong spent a total of 120 taels to acquire them. Seeing that she bought a lot of wasteland, the Yamen didn't even charge a handling fee.

Mo Yan's behavior surprised the people in the village. After what happened before, no one said that she was a prodigal. Some people who were quick-thinking ran to that area and took a closer look, but they couldn't see anything.

Li Zhong only thought that she bought those slopes to plant trees, so he didnt say anything. Later, when it was time to open up land and learn that it would be used to grow rice, my eyes almost popped out of my head. I thought Mo Yan had a fever and was talking nonsense.

Here, the Mo family is opening up wasteland on a large scale, and Mo Yan is the shopkeeper, and his life is very leisurely; over there, Xiao Ruiyuan is busy because of the moldy grain incident, he has to collect evidence of the dangers of moldy grain, and also pay attention to the movements of the military camp at the border. There wasn't even time to sleep.

Seeing that time is getting tighter and tighter, and the evidence that eating moldy food is life-threatening is not convincing enough, Xiao Ruiyuan is also a little anxious and angry. At this moment, a strange murder case that caused a sensation in the capital finally allowed him to find a breakthrough.

The thing is like this. There is an ordinary family of seven in Beijing, with three generations living under one roof, two healthy old people, a young couple, and three lively and lovely children.

This family of seven is good to others, never has any disputes with others, and has never had any grudges with others. But just two years ago, two old people who were in good health suffered from a serious illness that even the doctors could not detect. In addition to diarrhea, they could not eat, they also had chest tightness and chest pain, and they felt weak all over. They took various medicines prescribed by doctors. Not cured.

The disease was so severe that within half a year, the two old men passed away one after another. When he died, all that was left was a handful of bones and a piece of withered skin wrapping the bones.

Everyone thought that the two old people were just born, old, sick and died, and they stopped paying attention to them after they were sad. But not long after, the youngest child of the family also fell ill with the same disease as his grandparents. The doctors were also helpless. The couple spent all their savings and failed to save the child's life, and he died in less than six months.

At this time, there were rumors that the family had a hidden disease and it was contagious. For a time, relatives, friends and neighbors all lost contact with the family.

The family had just heartbroken to bury their loved one, and they suffered from such suspicion. They felt very uncomfortable, so they closed the door and lived their own lives.

However, the bad luck did not end. In the next three months, the eldest son and daughter of the family also suffered from the same disease. It only lasted two or three months before they died one after another.

The couple suffered a series of blows, and their health was already very bad. Then, a month ago, the breadwinner left his wife and followed his parents and children. The originally happy family of seven was left with only a half-crazy woman.

At this moment, a relative of the family suddenly ran to the government office and sued the woman, saying that she had killed her parents-in-law, mother-in-law, children and husband because they all died of poisoning.

Since someone has filed a complaint, it is still a major murder case and the government cannot ignore it. So the half-mad woman was taken to the court, and the relative's so-called evidence was also made public in the court.

Although the evidence is conclusive, the woman is half-crazy and half-mad, so she cant ask any questions at all, let alone kowtow and plead guilty. If the woman is alone and has no support, the Yamen can decide the case directly, but if the woman still has her family, how can she watch her relatives die on the crime of killing her husband and her son?

So the two sides argued in court and kept quarreling in private, making the whole capital aware of such a major murder. The matter has reached the point where everyone knows about it, and the Yamen cannot simply close the case. So after some discussion, we decided to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy to see if the family of six had been poisoned.

After opening the coffins, several experienced widowers examined the bones and found that the bones of the six deceased were black and had penetrated deep into the bone marrow. They had indeed died of poisoning, or they had been poisoned by chronic poison.

Since it is a chronic poison, it will naturally take days and months to accumulate before the poison takes effect, so the only woman who is still alive is the most suspicious. Just when the Yamen was about to finalize the case and sentence the case, the woman suddenly died suddenly and died in prison. She was also poisoned...
