The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 150 Going home

The day before they were to leave, the group was summoned by the Crown Prince. Lin Yan was too lazy to listen to his ramblings and did not go with him. Only her family and the four managers, including Fu Bo, went.

After all, in most people's eyes, the crown prince is the future emperor, and the opportunity to meet such a nobleman may only come once in a lifetime.

The group went to the scene, were praised by the Crown Prince, and returned after he made a lot of promises.

Of course, they also brought back news that the county magistrate had been denounced by the registrar, but after being interrogated once, he committed suicide in his room out of fear of punishment!

Fu Bo said he was shocked, and even Yu Wenxuan found it unbelievable, because Yue Heqiu was really not the kind of person who would confess his guilt and commit suicide. If he were so conscientious, he wouldn't have done those things.

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Yue Heqiu's death was within her expectations; he was probably silenced by the mastermind behind it all. After all, the mastermind didn't want the gold mine's secrets to be revealed, and couldn't protect Yue Heqiu either.

However, the mastermind probably didn't expect that some of those miners were still alive. Once the county magistrate died, they would come forward, and the news of the gold mine could no longer be kept secret.

Moreover, she had made two preparations.

Sure enough, the county government office became lively again the day after Lin Yan and her group returned home.

Five men arrived at the gate, claiming they wanted to sue Magistrate Yue Heqiu for forcibly detaining them to mine gold and for locking them in the mine shaft to starve to death.

The Crown Prince was stunned, not because of how many people had died, but because... the gold mine! No, Yue Heqiu hadn't mentioned the gold mine at all!

Wen Jingye, the Vice Minister of Revenue, was also stunned. He quickly turned around and ordered someone to send a message to the Fifth Prince, otherwise these people might be silenced by the Crown Prince!

Zheng Yuan frowned, glanced back, and then lowered her head again.

The county government office was turned upside down, but no gold was found. All they found was Chen Li, the county magistrate who was trying to escape.

After being subjected to severe torture, Chen Li could only admit that he had kidnapped people for the county magistrate, but he didn't know why.

The crowd finally realized that Yue Heqiu had not committed suicide out of fear of punishment, but had been silenced.

The prince went to the gold mine with great excitement and found that what the people had said was indeed true. He was extremely excited and ordered the mining to begin. There was actually gold there, and he was thinking about how to keep it all for himself.

The person he least wanted to see arrived. The Fifth Prince rushed over upon receiving the news, and the two sides began fighting like dogs.

As a result, someone sent a secret letter to the imperial court, and the news of the gold mine still got out.

Neither of them benefited, because the father ended up taking all the credit.

…………

Lin Yan and the others had already separated from the Yu family. When they parted, Yu Dingxin insisted on taking Li Zhongwei back to the Yu family. He cried and screamed under Lin Yan's carriage, refusing to let go, which shocked Lin Yan.

In the end, Yu Wenxuan, looking exasperated, dragged his second uncle away and told Lin Yan that she could visit the Yu family when she had time.

Uncle Yu, with tears in his eyes, said: You absolutely must come! Bring your master with you!

Lin Yan: "……(●—●)……"

It hasn't snowed recently, so the road back home wasn't as difficult, and even the weather wasn't as cold.

Fu Bo didn't take the carriage; he rode his horse along the road and said to Lin Yan, "I never expected that you would be gone for a whole month."

"Yes, Ah Yu must have finished his exams. I wonder how they went."

"Are all the distilleries open for business?"

"They should be back to work by now, it's already February 15th." Fu Bo thought for a moment, "The earliest jar of wine should be ready to be opened, we'll try it when we get back."

Lin Yan's eyes lit up. "Hmm." This was the first batch of wine they had personally witnessed being brewed from grains.

The group traveled day and night back to Rong'an County. The county town had long since recovered from the desolation of the heavy snow, and the streets were bustling with activity. It seemed that the heavy snow had not brought too much gloom to Rong'an.

Wu Xing, Ding Wei, and Manager Huang said goodbye to Fu Bo and went home. Everyone was exhausted.

Fu Bo sent the people in the mansion back to report the situation to his father, and then escorted Lin Yan and the others home.

Quan Sinian was inspecting the distillery when he spotted Fu Bo first. His eyes lit up and he quickly went out to greet him.

"You're back!"

"How's it going? It's okay!"

Seeing Lin Yan and Li Zhongwei get off the carriage, Quan Sinian breathed a sigh of relief. "They've been gone for a month! You have no idea how worried your parents were!"

Lin Yan smiled and said, "We're fine, and the situation in Wutai County has improved."

"Stop talking here, come inside, you come too!" Quan Sinian pulled Fu Bo along and made the three of them go inside.

"Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin! Lin Yan and the others are back!"

Mr. and Mrs. Lin ran out of the house, and the whole family, including Quan Wenxue, also rushed out.

As soon as Lin's mother saw Lin Yan, her eyes reddened. She quickly pulled her over to check on her and, seeing that she looked quite energetic, breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm back...I'm back."

Lin's father also looked relieved, saying, "It's good that you're back."

Mrs. Quan said with a smile, "You're finally back! We'll have something nice to celebrate today!"

Quan Wenxue looked at Lin Yan quietly with a smile on her face.

The three of them were ushered into the main room, where Lin Yan saw Lin Yu coming down from upstairs.

"Sister! I missed you so much!" Lin Yu hugged Lin Yan.

Lin Yan ruffled his hair. "What were you thinking about? Did you want me to take you to exercise?"

Lin Yu pushed her away, "Hmph."

How did the exam go?

Lin Yu smiled and said with a proud look, "Of course, no problem."

Lin's mother said happily, "He passed the exam. When school starts, he can go to the county school."

"Not bad! You passed after only one year of study! You're smart!" Lin Yan rubbed his face again.

Several people sat around the table. Lin's mother pulled Lin Yan aside and asked her all sorts of questions: How are you doing? Have you suffered any hardships?

Lin's father and Quan Sinian then asked Fu Bo, "How is the situation in Wutai County?"

Fu Bo replied, "When we first arrived, things were indeed not good. The situation was quite tense, and many people even contracted the disease..."

Fu Bo told everyone what had happened in Wutai County.

Originally, only Lin's father and two other men were listening, but as the conversation progressed, everyone's attention was drawn to them.

Even Lin's mother kept a close eye on Fu Bo as he spoke.

"That damned magistrate! How dare he harm the people like this!" Lin's father shouted angrily after hearing this.

"Fortunately, there was a registrar willing to help, otherwise you probably wouldn't even have been able to provide disaster relief," Quan Sinian sighed.

"As expected of Doctor Li, he solved the epidemic with just one move."

“You’ve met the Yu family. I’ve heard of Xinglin Hall; they have a branch in the capital, but I’ve never met any of their direct descendants,” Quan Wenxue said curiously.

"Sister, how did you treat the epidemic?"

"Ayan, what does that Crown Prince look like?"

Lin Yan's head was throbbing from listening. She waved her hand and said, "You guys have too many questions. One by one, one by one!"

Everyone burst into laughter, chiming in with their own comments, creating a lively atmosphere.
