Chapter 149
Xia Tiannuan sneered and said: "Don't worry, you will definitely tell me, you don't need to ask me, you will explain everything."

The village master said fiercely: "Even if you kill me, I won't say it. If you kill me, you will all die."

Xia Tiannuan looked lazy, and said lazily: "Oh, I don't like others to threaten me the most."

As he spoke, Xia Tiannuan flicked a pill in his hand directly into the mouth of the village master.

The medicine that melted in the mouth still smelled like medicine, which made the village owner panic.

"What did you eat for me, what did you eat?"

The village master vomited anxiously, but he couldn't vomit it out, his tongue smelled like medicine.

Xia Tian said warmly: "Don't worry, the medicine given to you is to make you obedient, and you will say whatever you are asked to say."

"This medicine is expensive, it's really a waste of a medicine."

When Xia Tiannuan walked from the mountains and forests, he would pick up the medicinal materials and put them in the space.

When she entered Nanxi City, she also went to the medical hall to buy some medicinal materials.

It is also for the purpose of preparing some medicines to be used at critical times.

No, this will come in handy.

The chief of the village wanted to dig the medicine down his throat, but he was restrained and tied up, unable to move his hands and feet at all.

There is no use in worrying.

"You...you dare to..."

Before the man could say a complete sentence, his whole body trembled instantly, and his eyes became hollow.

Xia Tiannuan asked, "Tell me, what is the force behind your Black Wind Village?"

The master of Dazhai said mechanically, "It's the Lin family in Nanshan City."

The Lin family in Nanshan City?
Xia Tiannuan knew nothing about this family.

For some reason, she involuntarily looked at Gu Luoheng.

Looking at Xia Tiannian's eyes, Gu Luoheng seemed to be able to understand what she was thinking.

Without Xia Tiannuan asking, Gu Luoheng automatically explained in a warm voice: "The Lin family in Nanshan City is the largest family in Nanshan City, and they started their business by mastering the salt industry."

Xia Tiannuan frowned and said, "Generally, salt is controlled by the imperial court, isn't it?"

Gu Luoheng explained: "The imperial court controls the salt, but it will also transfer the salt to the merchants for sale. They only need to pay the salt tax."

Xia Tiannuan continued to ask the master of the village: "Why does the Lin family protect your Heifeng Village, and what do they want you to do in Heifeng Village?"

The man continued to reply mechanically: "The magistrate of Nanshan City is too pedantic, he controls the price of salt and grain in the city, and some policies and orders have harmed the interests of some people. Recently, the magistrate learned that there is a drought in the Northwest and refugees and bandits are prevalent, so he united several aristocratic families To provide money and food to help the victims, to find a way to put them in the city to control and resettle them, but some aristocratic families are not happy..."

"The Lin family asked us to take action in Heifeng Village, and captured the wife and son of the prefect, and used it to threaten the prefect, so that he can't do other things in a hurry..."

The man talked a lot and explained a lot.

After hearing this, Xia Tiannuan understood that this Heifengzhai was actually helping the Lin family do some shady things.

Moreover, Heifengzhai is still secretly selling private salt at high prices.

Anyway, it was bandits who did it, no one would suspect that the salt merchant was involved, let alone think it was related to the Lin family.

Xia Tiannuan made people watch Jiang Fei, and she and Gu Luoheng first went to the dungeon in the cottage to save people.

Many innocent people were arrested in the dungeon of Heifengzhai.

Among a group of people, Xia Tian Nuan also saw a woman and a boy of thirteen or fourteen.

Judging from their temperament and appearance, they should be the magistrate's wife and magistrate's son described by the master of the village.

"Don't be afraid, you're fine."

The woman came back to her senses, grabbed Xia Tiannuan's sleeve and said, "I beg you, save Chen'er quickly."
