It is said that to capture the thief first, capture the king. If the leader is captured, won’t everyone else surrender?
The man was instantly frightened and took Qi Jue and the others to the leader's house.
At this moment, the leader didn't know what had happened.
"Is the doctor here? Damn it, what's going on today? I'm almost exhausted!"
Naturally, the people following the leader were not much better, and they still had to answer the leader's words: "Boss, please hold on a little longer. It will take some time for the doctor to go up the mountain. Our people have already gone to bring him over!"
Just as he said that, there was a noise at the door.
"The doctor must be here!"
As soon as the minions opened the door, a sword was placed on his neck.
The leader's sense of caution was still there, but he immediately realized something was wrong.
But before he could move, someone broke in through the window, and another sword was placed on his neck.
"You...who are you?"
The leader tried hard to control his voice from shaking.
How on earth did these people break through the defense line outside and break into his room directly?
"Don't move. If you try to be cunning, your head will fall to the ground in the next second!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure walked in from outside.
Accompanied by a cold voice: "Who instigated you to privately occupy the gold mine?"
The person who walked in after hearing the sound was a young and handsome man, and there was a woman beside him. She was also beautiful and refined, especially those clear and clear eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts at a glance.
The two walked side by side, and there was a strange sense of matching between them!
"How did you break through the outer defenses and break in? This is impossible!"
Yan Mingzhu smiled, raised her hand and said, "You're already stretched like this, but you can still speak quite well. It seems like the effect of the medicine is not strong enough."
"You were the one who poisoned me! How is it possible? Not even a mosquito can fly in because of the copper and iron walls near the gold mine. How did you poison me?"
Yan Mingzhu said lightly: "Your external defense line is indeed very tight, but you are humans, not gods. As humans, you have to eat and drink water, and your drinking water source comes from the southwest.
Xiaoxihe.”
"You poisoned the river. Damn it. You went to such trouble to break into the gold mine. Do you want to take the gold mine from our hands? Hehe, I advise you to stop quickly. The people who own this gold mine can't
It’s not something you guys can afford to mess with!”
Qi Jue approached unhurriedly, "So, do you know who privately occupied this gold mine?"
The leader immediately shut his mouth and looked like he would never confess no matter how hard you pressed him.
"Dazhao has express regulations that all mineral deposits discovered must be reported to the court. If someone takes it privately, it will be a serious crime against the Nine Tribes. Taking such a big risk, and in order to prevent the mine from being discovered, everyone who goes up the mountain will be killed.
It is impossible that such cruel deeds would not alarm the local government, but so far, the court has not received any news. However, two months ago, water leaked into the Lutong judge's mansion in Jizhou, and the whole mansion was burned to rubble.
Survive life,
It seems that Judge Lu Tong sensed something wrong and was silenced in this inhumane way."
Cold sweat gradually broke out on the leader's forehead, because every word Qi Jue said at this moment was on point.
"With such a blatant and brutal act, he can kill a sixth-grade Tongpan, and cover the sky in Jizhou with one hand, then there is only one person who can do it."
"The magistrate of Jizhou, Ma Zhiyong."
The leader looked at Qi Jue in disbelief. When he heard the name from Qi Jue's mouth, he almost collapsed on the ground.
"You...who are you?"
Qi Jue sneered and gave Feiyun and Feiyu a look.
"Stop fucking talking nonsense here, write down all the charges for me quickly. For the sake of your frankness and leniency, I can spare your life!"
Everything was exposed, and even the biggest backer was easily guessed. The leader didn't dare to say anything. He picked up the pen tremblingly and explained everything.
The gold mine was discovered six months ago when villagers were digging in the mountain.
At first, these villagers wanted to secretly dig out some gold and spend it, but it didn't take long for the government to find out.
After all, how could the poor villagers get gold?
Soon after Magistrate Ma learned that a gold mine had been discovered in Lingxi Mountain, he immediately sent people to the mountain and confirmed that there was indeed a large gold mine.
But for some unknown reason, not long after, many of the government officials who knew about the gold mine died inexplicably.
And soon, Magistrate Ma hired a group of people to surround the gold mine, built a base, and ordered people to smuggle out all the gold dug out.
But where it was transported and what it was used for, the leader had no idea.
His mission is just to guard the gold mine and direct his men to mine.
"Your Highness, it seems that only by catching Magistrate Ma can we dig out the person behind this."
But although the leader didn't know anything deeper, Qi Jue actually knew it in his heart.
"Set up flares and let them keep an eye on the gold mine without making any mistakes."
Feiyun and Feiyu immediately handed over their hands: "Yes, Your Highness!"
"Let's go and meet this Ma Zhiyong."
Feiyun stayed behind to watch the gold mine, waiting for others to come and guard it, while Qi Jue and Yan Mingzhu went directly to Ma Mansion.
When we went down the mountain, it was already starting to get dark.
There was still peace in Ma's mansion. Magistrate Ma was sleeping comfortably in his concubine's room.
"Feiyu, go to the west and set a fire, so that this guy named Ma can experience what it's like to run into the water."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Qi Jue and Yan Mingzhu exchanged glances, and Yan Mingzhu immediately understood what he meant. Together with him, she used Qinggong and passed over the wall easily.
"It's not good! It's not good! It's gone wrong!"
"Someone come quickly, the west wing is flooded!"
Magistrate Ma was naturally awakened by such a loud commotion.
The concubine woke up in his arms and said unhappily: "Master, there is so much noise outside, what happened?"
"You go to sleep and I'll go take a look."
As soon as Magistrate Ma put some clothes on his body, there was movement outside.
"You...who are you...ah!"
After several screams, the door was kicked open.
Magistrate Ma was startled by the movement. There was firelight outside, and in the light of the fire, two figures walked in unhurriedly.
"The entire Ma Mansion is magnificent and full of flowers. Even the small doors and windows are made of expensive sandalwood. It turns out that this little prefect of Jizhou is so rich."
Magistrate Ma was working in Jizhou, so naturally he had no chance to meet Qi Jue, so when he saw Qi Jue, he immediately put on official airs.
"Where did this ignorant young man come from? He dared to run wild in Ma's Mansion. Someone, come here and tie these two guys up!"
