248 Silver Mines
In the carriage was a middle-aged woman and a little girl who thought she was in her teens, and the middle-aged woman's face was gloomy, and the little girl was very happy, and from time to time she opened the curtain to see the situation outside the car. But whenever she tried to do so, she was stopped by the middle-aged woman.
"Lan'er, don't lift the curtains, in case people on the road see it, it's not good."
The little girl who was called Lan'er flattened her mouth or sat up straight, "Yes, mother." β
The middle-aged woman had some inexplicable emotions in her eyes, and when she saw that her daughter was well-behaved and sensible, she couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, "Lan'er is obedient, and when you get to the Divine Fist Sect, your mother will not restrain you." Aren't you the most favorite sister of the Divine Fist Sect? β
"Really? Mother. The little girl who was called Lan'er was immediately happy, and she didn't see her mother's face again.
The Divine Fist Sect is next to Chun'an County, and it is the largest Jianghu sect near the entire Danyang City, and the current sect leader Jin Song is known for his fast fists, which is called the "Shadowless Divine Fist" on the rivers and lakes.
The carriage entered the scope of the Divine Fist Sect at sunset, and it seemed that the person who was holding the carriage had already sent a message to the Divine Fist Sect, and no one stopped the carriage along the way, and at the same time, Jiang Hao, the eldest apprentice of Jin Song, took the whip in the hand of Master Jiang and drove the carriage to the inner gate of the Divine Fist Sect.
Master Jiang got out of the carriage, turned around and picked up his wife and daughter, and Jin Song, the sect leader of the Divine Fist Sect, also greeted him.
"Brother Jiang, what happened, you are so anxious?" Jin Song asked with a worried expression.
Master Jiang didn't make a sound, but glanced at his wife and daughter, Jin Song quickly called the eldest apprentice Jiang Hao, "Sister-in-law and niece are tired from running all the way, Jiang Hao, your master is preparing dinner, you can take Master Jiang's wife and daughter to the guest room to settle down first." β
"Yes, Master." Jiang Hao knew that his master and Master Jiang were good friends, so he led Jiang Wang and Jiang Lan to the back room.
Seeing his wife and daughter leaving, Master Jiang sighed and said to Jin Song: "Brother Xian won't tell you that my Jiang family's enemy has been found." β
"Enemies?" Jin Song's face changed slightly, "Is that the enemy you were worried about?" β
Master Jiang nodded, "I knew I couldn't hide, but the family couldn't do without me, so my wife and daughter bothered my brother to take care of me." β
"What Brother Jiang said, my sister-in-law and niece can live here for as long as they want. A few days ago, Uchiko also said that she missed Lan'er a little. β
"Then I'll be relieved." After Mr. Jiang finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave, "There are a lot of affairs at home, and I have to go back to preside over the overall situation, so I won't stay long, if this catastrophe can be passed, I will be the east when the time comes, and I will invite Brother Jin Xian to have a good meal." β
Jin Song didn't say much, and sent Master Jiang all the way to the outside of the sect, watching Master Jiang riding a horse, and his figure gradually disappeared into the night.

On the other side, Cai Tong sent the details of the fraud case to the Criminal Department of Jinling Mansion. Nanxing originally planned to stay in Qinzhou City for only ten days, but things here happened one after another.
The next day, when Nanxing was having lunch, he heard the Jianghu people at the next table say that another hidden sect of the previous dynasty had been slaughtered by a mysterious person, which was exactly the same as the previous two sects. And this time, those mysterious killers seem to have mobilized more people, so that the sound of killing is everywhere for ten miles.
When the surrounding people saw this posture, no one dared to come forward to watch, and when the sound gradually stopped, the people from the nearby city government went to investigate and found that it was another case of extermination.
In the afternoon, Nanxing and Cai Tong met.
"Another case of extermination, has Cai Zhutou heard about it?"
"Don't mention it, I heard that Your Majesty is very angry, and thinks that these Jianghu people have violated the ban with force, saying that they want to order rectification. It is estimated that in a few days, we will receive a general message from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. β
"I have good news, do you want to hear it?"
"Oh? I wonder what the good news is? β
Although Nanxing didn't follow Wang Qi in the past two days, she discovered another interesting thing. The handsome man who Dow had been following before reappeared, and Dow also found him, but Dow didn't follow anyone this time. As for the reason, Nanxing also knows that this handsome man eats in Xunwei Building every day, for several days, and the shopkeeper seems to be familiar with him.
And after Nanxing's observation, Tao and this Fei Gongzi seem to have an unusual relationship, Tao every time he sees this Fei Gongzi, he is gritting his teeth, Nanxing thinks of Tao's life experience, and boldly guesses that this Fei Gongzi may be the one who cheated Tao's money and sex.
Cai Tong obviously didn't think this was any good news, and asked puzzledly: "And then?" β
"Last night, I went to find Tao quietly and confirmed that this Fei Gongzi was indeed the guy who cheated money and sex. Tao also confessed that she had been observing for a long time, and this Fei Gongzi would appear every once in a while, so she had taken a packet of arsenic from Li's before. This is the reason for her quarrel with the Li family.
In addition, I found that this Fei Gongzi seemed to be passing on news to Wang Qi, but they didn't seem to know each other on the surface. β
"How did Miss Nan tell they knew? And how can you be sure they're delivering a message? β
"I don't know if you noticed? This Fei Gongzi will choose the window seat every time, and Wang Qi sits at the table next to him every time, Wang Qi has two servants, and sometimes the two of them will all stand to the left of Wang Qi, as if they are blocking something. And I noticed that as long as this Fei Gongzi and Wang Qi appeared at the same time, Wang Qi's servants would stand on one side at the same time. β
Cai Tong didn't expect Nanxing to even notice this detail, "Could it be that this Fei Gongzi is the main culprit in the fraud case?" β
Nanxing shook his head, "His appearance is too dazzling, if the main culprit is afraid that he will not be so swaggering on the street, I suspect that there is something else between the two of them." β
Nanxing said this to Cai Tong, just to see if he could pretend to be a thief to kidnap this Fei Gongzi, and then use clichΓ©s from this Fei Gongzi's mouth.
After Cai Tong listened to Nanxing's plan, although his face was unwavering, he felt in his heart that he was worthy of being a person from the True Refining Palace, and he was so informal. However, the fraud case has dragged on for too long, and if it drags on, Fu Yin is afraid that he will have to give him small shoes to wear on this ground.
β¦β¦
The kidnapping of Fei Gongzi was very successful, and in addition to being a little good-looking, this Fei Gongzi was actually an ordinary person.
At this time, in a ruined temple outside Qinzhou City, Fei Gongzi was blindfolded, his mouth was stuffed with rags, and his body was tied up with five flowers.
Nanxing took off the cloth from Fei Gongzi's mouth, and he shouted, "The hero spares his life, the hero spares his life, I have some silver tickets hidden in my belt, all of them are filial piety to the hero, as long as the hero does not kill me, I will never report the case." β
Cai Tong took out the silver tickets in Fei Gongzi's belt, and at first glance, there were three of them that were one hundred taels. At Nanxing's signal, Cai Tong pressed his throat and said, "You want to send our brother away with just such a little money?" I don't think you want to live. β
This Fei Gongzi is indeed afraid, but he is actually not as afraid as he appeared, half of him is pretending, seeing that the other party took three hundred taels and refused to let go of himself, his heart is broken, I am afraid that he has met a thief with a big appetite, "Good man, I still have some silver tickets in the baggage of the inn, or you let me go back, I will take the silver tickets......"
Cai Tong knew that this Fei Gongzi was playing tricks when he heard it, slapped him on the head, and said sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, if you get it in our brother's hands, you will honestly hand over all the money, otherwise you won't be able to die if you want to." Our brother has been eyeing you for a long time. You are a little white face who cheats women out of money, and Lao Tzu doesn't like it the most. Tell me, where the hell are you hiding your money? β
Hearing people say that they cheated women out of money, Fei Gongzi chuckled in his heart, but after thinking about it, he had an idea, "Since the hero has followed me all the way, he must have known that my money has been handed over to others, and I have these three hundred taels on me for self-defense." I'm afraid the two heroes don't know, right? I'm listening to the outer spies of the Rain Pavilion, if I disappear, the two heroes won't be able to escape with their whole body. Why don't you take a step back, you take three hundred taels, and I'll go back and offer five hundred taels, how about it? β
As soon as the three words of Yuge came out, Nanxing and Cai Tong were stunned for a moment, Nanxing felt that he didn't expect this Fei Gongzi to be involved with Tingyuge, and Cai Tong remembered other things, but his appearance also fell in Nanxing's eyes.
Nanxing slashed at the back of Fei Gongzi's neck with a knife, making him faint, and then he looked at Cai Tong and said, "It seems that Cai Zhutou knows to listen to Yuge." β
Cai Tong realized that he had lost his temper just now, and thought for a while before he spoke: "Don't hide it from Miss Nan, I really know to listen to Yuge." β
"This is strange, usually not people who walk the rivers and lakes, but they are secretive about listening to the rain pavilion, but I don't seem to be afraid of them when I see Cai Zhutou, I wonder if Cai Zhutou can give me a reasonable explanation?" Nanxing actually felt that the origin of this Cai Zhutou was not ordinary, and the people in the ordinary mansion, even after Fu Yin knew that he was a person from the Refining True Palace, they were a little flattering. And although this Cai Zhutou puts his position very low every time, that's all.
"It's worthy of being a master of the True Refining Palace, so let's send this guy back first, and then I'll explain it to Miss Nan in detail."
Nanxing nodded and agreed, and then Cai Tong rolled up the silver ticket and stuffed it back into Fei Gongzi's belt. Then he picked up Fei Gongzi and sent the person back to the inn with Nanxing, and cleaned all kinds of traces before retreating outside the room.
β¦β¦
Cai Zhutou's house.
Since Cai Zhutou came to Qinzhou Mansion alone, he did not buy real estate, but lived in a house belonging to the Yamen.
Cai Tong carefully checked the marks left by himself on the doors and windows, and then invited Nanxing into the house.
"Actually, I am an agent sent here by His Majesty, a series of things happened in Qinzhou City before, Your Majesty felt that there must be some kind of connection between them, so I asked me to check here as the head catcher of Qinzhou City." After Cai Tong finished speaking, he took out a waist card from his body as if he was juggling and handed it to Nanxing for verification.
Where did Nanxing know these identity cards, she could only pretend to look at them for a while, but in fact, she opened the visual data and scanned it, it turned out that this Cai Tong was the emperor's own secret agent, except for the emperor, only the emperor's personal shadow guard knew his identity.
Nanxing returned the waist card to Cai Tong and asked, "What does the emperor want you to check?" β
"About a few months ago, something happened to the silver mine in Qinzhou Prefecture."
"Wait, you mean there is a silver mine in Qinzhou Mansion?" Nanxing had never heard of a silver mine in Qinzhou Mansion, she only knew that there was a low-quality iron mine in Qinzhou Mansion, which showed how deep this news was hidden.
Cai Tong nodded, "That's right, there is a secret silver mine in Qinzhou Mansion. However, the silver mines produced here are covered with a layer of iron, so people around the world think that this is an iron mine. β
"Something went wrong with the silver mines?" Since this is not an iron mine but a silver mine, it must be a problem with the mine itself that will attract His Majesty's attention.
