Chapter 291: The Story Of Gu Yanjiu’s Parents

Han Yizi saw that they were going to talk for a long time, so he said, "Venerable Master, Young Lady, how about you come in and talk?"

Xu Xiang looked at him and said, "Thank you, Old Grandpa."

"Please, come in." Han Yizi stepped aside and let Xu Xiang, Mu Yucheng, Lin Yong and his family come in.

After they sat down around the wooden table in the yard, Mu Yucheng took out a tea set and started to brew a pot of tea. This is the spiritual tea he got from his master a long time ago, which has the effect of calming the mind and rejuvenating the body. Seeing the state of mind and body of Lin Yong’s family, Mu Yucheng decided to share this spiritual tea with them.

A minute later, Mu Yucheng put down the teacups in front of everyone, and took a sip of tea from his teacup calmly. When Lin Yong and his wife smelled the fragrance of the spiritual tea, their anxious hearts gradually calmed down.

Seeing that they had calmed down, Xu Xiang asked, "Can you please tell me, what kind of help do you want from us?"

Lin Yong took a deep breath and said, "Our village is six li away from this Mei Hua Village. People call our village Tao Hua Village."

When Han Yizi heard the name of Lin Yong’s village, he looked at Lin Yong and asked, "Young man, is your village the famous village that produces peach blossom wine?"

Lin Yong nodded and said, "Yes. I am the inventor of peach blossom wine."

Han Yizi was taken aback by what he said, and said, "No wonder you look familiar. So you are that famous Lin Yong."

After listening to Han Yizi’s words, Lin Yong looked sad. Xu Xiang noticed the change in his expression, but she didn’t speak, and only drank her tea calmly.

A few seconds later, Lin Yong smiled slightly and said, "That’s all in the past. Now, I can’t even feed my family, so where can I find the ingredients to brew the wine?"

Hearing his words, Han Yizi sighed, and said, "More than ten years have passed, and the Flower Goddess still hasn’t forgiven us."

This time, Han Yizi’s words aroused Xu Xiang’s interest. She put down her teacup and asked, "Old Grandpa, what do you mean by that?"

Han Yizi turned to look at her and said, "Ten years ago, when the royal princess came back to ask our king for help, the king rejected her and chased her and her family away. At that time, heavy rain fell from the sky, and the flood took hundreds of thousands of lives for seven consecutive days."

Xu Xiang was confused after hearing his words, and asked, "What does the heavy rain and flood have to do with the royal princess?"

Han Yizi lowered his voice and said, "At that time, the royal princess had already married the crown prince of the Bei Wei Empire, and was hunted down by the current emperor of the Bei Wei Empire after the coup d’etat. Since they could not stay in the Bei Wei Empire, they decided to come back to the Qin Kingdom to seek asylum."

"But who would have thought that the current emperor of the Bei Wei Empire at that time had issued an ultimatum to our king. If the king dared to accept the royal princess and the crown prince, the Bei Wei Empire would destroy our Qin Kingdom. Our king was afraid of the strength of the Bei Wei Empire, and also cared about the safety of the common people, so he expelled the royal princess and her family from the Qin Kingdom."

Han Yizi sighed, took a sip of tea, and said, "After the royal princess was expelled by her father, she said that the current emperor of the Bei Wei Empire is a ruthless person, and sooner or later, the world will fall into chaos because of him. She also said that behind the Emperor of the Bei Wei Empire, there is a person more terrifying than the devil. If the King of the Qin Kingdom dare not fight him, the Qin Kingdom will perish in fifteen years."

"After the royal princess finished speaking, she knelt down to worship the Flower Goddess for the last time. She asked the Flower Goddess to be the witness and warn the people of the Qin Kingdom. When the news of the death of the royal princess and the crown prince of the Bei Wei Empire came, the statue of the Flower Goddess wept blood, and seven days of heavy rain fell from the sky, killing countless people." Han Yizi’s voice was a little trembling when he said this.

After listening to Han Yizi’s story, Xu Xiang lowered her eyes and thought: ’Is the royal princess in this story the mother of Gu Yanjiu? If the royal princess and the crown prince in this story are really Gu Yanjiu’s parents, then the treasure is really in this Qin Kingdom. It seems that Gu Yanjiu really did not lie to Xiao Shao.’

Han Yizi was silent for a moment, then said, "Let’s not talk about this matter. If someone reported us to the government, it would become a big problem."

He looked at Lin Yong and asked, "Didn’t you say that you need help from the Venerable Master and Young Lady? What kind of help do you need?"

Lin Yong nodded and said, "Two months ago, our village received an imperial decree to prepare one hundred barrels of peach blossom wine as a tribute to the palace. If we fail to prepare on time, we will all be sentenced with capital punishment of death of nine generations."

Hearing what he said, Han Yizi gasped in surprise. If Tao Hua Village is punished, then the surrounding villages will also be punished. Even the slightest connection with the people in Tao Hua Village will drag them down together.

Not to mention, most of the villagers have some connection to each other through marriage. When the sentence was imposed, it was not only the villagers of Tao Hua Village who were going to be executed, but all the villagers of the surrounding villages were also going to be executed together.
