"Button, button, button--"
In the middle of the night, Su Qianxi suddenly heard a knock on the door while she was sleeping, and she woke up instantly.
She thought she was dreaming, but she didn't expect that someone was actually knocking on the door. She immediately took the clothes hanging by the bed and put them on, then got up and opened the door.
"Miss, the Su family's housekeeper said that he wants to see you in an emergency."
The person who knocked on the door in the middle of the night was one of the maids bought by Su Qianxi. When she saw Su Qianxi opening the door, she immediately explained her purpose.
"housekeeper?"
Su Qianxi quickly realized that the housekeeper came to see her so late. Could it be that something happened to Mo Zechen?
Thinking of this, Su Qianxi immediately became anxious and walked out quickly.
The housekeeper stood outside Su Qianxi's yard. When he saw Su Qianxi appear, he spoke quickly.
"Miss Su, a beggar came outside the door and said it was your order. If there is any important news, he must come and tell you."
"The other party said it with full sincerity. I can only tell you this late."
The butler's attitude towards Su Qianxi was obviously more respectful.
He heard from the servants in the mansion today that their young master had suffered from vomiting and diarrhea for the past few days and lost half his life, all because of the medicine given by Miss Su.
Not to mention that my young master didn’t do anything to Miss Su after he knew that it was Miss Su who had done something to him. Let’s just say that Miss Su’s superb drugging method - you can’t offend her, you can’t offend her!
Su Qianxi didn't notice that the housekeeper looked at her with a little more fear, and said directly, "Lead the way."
When Su Qianxi arrived at the door of Su Mansion, the beggar who came to report was pacing back and forth at the door. When he saw Su Qianxi appearing, he immediately ran forward.
"Girl, we discovered something strange tonight..."
The beggar paused and looked at the housekeeper behind Su Qianxi, wondering if he could let the other party hear.
"Butler, please go back first."
Su Qianxi waved her hand and asked the housekeeper to leave.
When the housekeeper saw this, he went back directly.
"Say it."
After watching the housekeeper go away, Su Qianxi turned to look at the beggar who came to report the news.
"A lot of people in black suddenly came out of the inn tonight, but they disappeared immediately. We couldn't keep up with their speed."
The beggar hurriedly explained what they had discovered.
"Man in black?"
Su Qianxi frowned slightly and said without any time to think, "Follow me, I'll go over and take a look."
On the other side, Mo Zechen has led his subordinates to the vicinity of the gold mine.
Because they had carefully observed the patrol and changing times of the officers a few days ago, they approached the gold mine smoothly.
It's just that the mined things need to be transported, so a large area around the gold mine has been cleared.
Continuing forward, Mo Zechen and the others had no place to hide, so they could only temporarily stay in the jungle about two hundred meters away from the gold mine cave to wait for the opportunity.
They had observed before that although there were still people working in the mine at night, at about three o'clock in the morning, the miners in the mine would take a rest.
So they need to wait a little longer.
Mo Zechen and others waited patiently. The time finally came to three o'clock, and people in the mine came out one after another.
Mo Zechen and the others waited for an extra two-quarters of an hour to make sure that no one came out, and after the people watching around had left, Mo Zechen made a gesture, and everyone quietly entered the mine as quickly as possible. .
Although there is no moonlight in the mine, there are lit torches everywhere in the mine, so it is not dark inside.
Mo Zechen and others walked forward cautiously. Mo Zechen noticed that as they went inside, the color of the torch's flame gradually changed from the red flame at the beginning to other colors.
Mo Zechen frowned instinctively, always feeling that there was something wrong with the color of the flames.
But before he could think clearly what was going on, he heard the exclamations of his subordinates.
"Oh my God, there's so much rock gold, and there's also smelted gold here!!"
Mo Zechen heard the sound and subconsciously followed it. Sure enough, not far away there were several mining trucks specially used for mining, which were piled with newly mined rock gold.
Not far from the piles of rock gold, there is some gold that has been smelted and piled aside casually.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed a gold mine, and it is very likely to be a giant gold mine or a small gold mine. Such a large space has been mined inside, and it would have been impossible to dig anything out."
As one of the guards spoke, he knelt down, picked up a tool used for mining gold that had been casually put aside, and knocked it against the rock wall——
The surrounding stones fell down, and a fist-sized piece of rock gold suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Master, now we have confirmed that the officials in Xuancheng did not report the discovery of the gold mine. Not only did they mine it privately, but they even killed all the insiders who did not want to be complicit in order to prevent the gold mine from being exposed."
The piles of rock gold in front of you are evidence of the crimes of Xuancheng officials.
"Furthermore, my subordinates noticed that some of the miners who went out just now are people who have been missing for three years in Xuancheng's crime report files and whose whereabouts are still unknown. It is obvious that Xuancheng officials committed the crime."
"Your Majesty, now that the evidence is conclusive, what should we do next?"
The gold mine is right in front of them. They have already obtained the criminal evidence of Xuancheng officials. The next step should be to start arresting people.
Mo Zechen picked up a piece of rock gold and weighed it. After confirming that everything he saw was true, his brows instantly turned cold.
This group of people in Xuancheng, who are living off the emperor's salary, do this kind of thing, and letting such people become officials is completely irresponsible to the people.
Fortunately - their good days are over!
"Tonight it was confirmed that Xuancheng officials concealed the existence of the gold mine and mined it privately. That is enough. The rest will be settled when the shadows bring people over."
Mo Zechen threw back the rock gold in his hand, turned around and prepared to lead the people away.
"Go back first, so as not to be discovered later and alert others."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"I'm afraid, everything won't go as you wish."
Amidst the unanimous responses of the guards, a strange and unsociable voice intervened forcefully.
Mo Zechen's cold eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he quickly turned around to look in the direction where the sound came from.
"Pah, pah, pah—"
On the way Mo Zechen and the others came in, a group of people appeared at some point. The leader was a fat middle-aged man, with a smile on his lips and the way he raised his hands to applaud, which seemed to be a bit friendly and friendly.
"As expected of the regent, he is very resolute in his work and does not delay at all. He found you here and came in so quickly."
"You Governor?!"
Before Mo Zechen came to Xuancheng, he had checked the files of all officials in Xuancheng. He knew all the officials in Xuancheng very well.
It's just that the middle-aged man in front of him looks familiar yet a little strange.
