Chapter 241 Text Cui’s old story

With a suspicious look in his eyes, Liu Yu did not ask his doubts, but replied: "Ten days ago, most of the people infected in the city were the elderly or children, as well as the weak and sick, and most of their illnesses were mild and controllable. But just now

About ten days later, young people also began to get sick one after another, and then it got out of hand."

Later, the city was no longer under the jurisdiction of their county government, so Liu Yu naturally did not have much information to provide.

"Master Gu, please excuse me for being confused. Are there too few male males in Yishui? Also, according to what Liu County Cheng said, the epidemic did not attack young people at the beginning, which means that the epidemic did not manifest as it does now.

It’s so fierce, but why did the situation suddenly take a turn for the worse ten days ago?”

After listening to the two of them, Li Jinshu keenly raised these two doubts.

When Liu Yu heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes. Unexpectedly, Li Jinshu grasped the key point instantly and asked, "Have you ever heard of the Cui family in Yishui?"

"I've heard a little bit about it."

Li Jinshu didn't understand why Liu Yu suddenly mentioned the Cui family?

Seeing the puzzled look on her face, Liu Yu asked again: "Do you know why the Cui family is so rich in this poor and remote place?"

"I once heard someone say that the Cui family in Yishui had an erudite and wise old patriarch. Once when he was outing outside the city, he happened to discover a mineral deposit. Then the old patriarch chose not to report it and let others mine it privately.

Iron ore, then made into iron tools and sold to Hu merchants to make huge profits?"

Speaking of the past events of the Cui family, Li Minghuan on the side thought of Cui Yin again, with a look of sadness in his eyes, very sad.

Li Jinshu looked at him and saw that his expression instantly recovered, so he didn't say much, but slightly lowered his eyes and turned back to look at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu from the other side nodded and affirmed: "Yes, if you are mining iron ore privately, you must have someone to help you. Many young men in the city have chosen to hide their families and go mining in the mountains because of the huge profits offered by the old patriarch Cui."

Speaking of this, Li Jinshu remembered it.

There were indeed records of this in the information she had seen.

"Liu Xiancheng means that all of this originated from that mining accident?"

Li Jinshu vaguely remembered that it was recorded in the information that the mining accident was extremely volatile and many miners died. This made it impossible to conceal the matter, and even the heavens heard about it.

According to Li Zongchao's original intention, this man was to kill the nine clans, but the wealth he had accumulated over the years was hidden somewhere. Even though countless criminal laws were imposed on him, he could not get the old clan leader to reveal a word.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Li Zongchao was cruel and ruthless and would never let his people go easily, so he gritted his teeth and resisted, even if he was almost tortured to death, he gritted his teeth and refused to let go.

Until he secretly conspired with people in the officialdom and exchanged half of his family wealth for the lives of his whole family.

Even if the opponent is a high-ranking official in power, he will inevitably be sentenced to the fate of the whole family being slaves for generations and women as prostitutes for generations.

"What the eldest girl said is true. There are many natural disasters in Yishui, but there are not many male males. Since the mining disaster, there have been hundreds of male males missing in Yishui. As for the epidemic, what do we think?

It's weird, but after a long investigation, I couldn't find any useful information."

Liu Yu told the truth and told her everything she knew about the situation.

Li Jinshu nodded slightly when he heard this. She knew that what Liu Yu was telling now must be the truth, because he had no reason to lie to her at this time.
