"Don't worry, I've been paying attention here." Fatty Han said:

"There is a stall that will be short of people soon, and it will be transferred at that time, but have you found anything in the mine during this time?"

"I've only been there for a week, and they all guard me like thieves, what can they find?" Zhou Jia was speechless.

"That's right." Fatty Han laughed dryly. He didn't have any hope about it, so he just asked casually.

"But..." Zhou Jia stroked his chin with a pensive look on his face:

"There is one thing, I don't know if it counts as a harvest?"

"What's the matter?" Fatty Han's eyes lit up:

"tell me the story!"

"Guan Cao is very rich." Zhou Jia said.

"This is normal." Fatty Han shrugged, with regret on his face:

"There is no shortage of deductions at the mine, and with the care of Deacon Lu, he seems to have a relative who has some relationship with the second elder. It is inevitable that he has ample source stones."

"Some deductions will not be pursued in the meeting."

"No." Zhou Jia shook his head:

"I mean, he's rich!"

"Very?" Fatty Han noticed the adjective Zhou Jia used, and regained his energy:

"How 'very' method?"

"I've been to the Three Treasures Medicine Hall in the inner city. It mainly sells precious medicines that increase the source of cultivation. The pharmacist there smells like medicine." Zhou Jia took a sip from the bowl and continued:

"This smell can also be found on someone surnamed Cao."

"Smell of medicine?" Fatty Han frowned, his eyes filled with thought:

"You mean, because the pharmacist stays with the precious medicine for a long time, there is a medicine smell on his body, and this Hanyue surnamed Cao has never gone out, so the medicine smell..."

"That's right." Zhou Jia nodded:

"He is likely to take precious medicines often. The cheapest one is three origin stones. This consumption is not low."

At least, it is definitely not something that a mere mine director can come up with.

Fatty Han's eyes became brighter and brighter until his face showed ecstasy:

"Is this true?"

"Eighty nine is not far from ten." Zhou Jia shrugged.

It was a coincidence that his nose was sensitive, and Cao Guanshi did not go out during the cold moon, so the smell of medicine on his body was hard to get rid of for a while.

Otherwise, he would not have been discovered.

"wait for me!"

Fatty Han left a word, got up in a hurry and was about to leave.

"Don't forget to leave me out." Zhou Jia hurriedly explained.

"Don't forget!"

Chapter 016

As Lu Shan said, there are not many things happening in the mine.

Zhou Jia's daily task is to walk around the mine with two assistants to confirm that there are no monsters, and it will be over.

The whole process took less than two hours.

The two assistants around him said they were helping, but they were actually following them.

As for the affairs of the mine, he has never had the opportunity to intervene. In Cao Guanshi's words, his status is 'noble' and he should not do such dusty mining work.

Zhou Jia was so happy.

After patrolling every day, he found a free place to rest, silently practiced the three-element rectification method, and watched the progress on the experience bar increase slowly.

If it weren't for the feeling of being stared at with cold eyes from time to time, this kind of life would actually be pretty good.

Less things, more money, close to home.

It's true.

This situation until it was broken by a group of people.

……

Deacon Wei is obviously not a reckless person. After half a month, a group of well-dressed people appeared in the mine.

"Where is Cao Honglai?"

The man in front had a gloomy complexion, a long knife hanging from his waist, and a long gown embroidered with black textures, which was mysterious and chilling, and his cold gaze made people dare not look at each other.

He glanced at everyone in the mine, and said in a cold voice:

"Let him come out and meet me!"

This group of people are uniformly dressed and hang badges. Their identities can be described as well-known in the Fish and Dragon Society, and everyone knows them.

"People from the punishment hall, what are they doing here?"

"Cao Guan committed a crime?"

"It won't involve us..."

As the Ichthyosaur Society specializes in dealing with those who violate internal rules, if the punishment hall does not leave, it will often bring a bloodbath.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Zhou Jia's eyes flickered, and he remained silent, just like everyone else, with curiosity in his eyes, as if he was guessing what the people from the punishment hall were doing here.

"Isn't this Mr. Cheng?" Lu Shan hurriedly approached, bowing his back with a flattering face:

"Why do you have time to come here?"

"There is a lot of dust in the mine, a few of you come into the house, I asked someone to pour tea..."

"No need." Cheng Shaowen waved his hands coldly:

"Under the order of the hall master, I brought Cao Honglai, the manager of the mine, to the execution hall to inquire about something. Why, Cao Honglai is not here today?"

"As the supervisor of the mine, if you leave your post without authorization, it will be an extra crime."

"This..." Lu Shan turned pale.

"What's going on?" At this moment, Guanshi Cao, who had been resting in the room, finally noticed something unusual outside, and Shi Shiran pushed the door and walked out.

When he saw the group of people in the punishment hall, his expression also changed.

"Cao Honglai!" Seeing the person appearing, Cheng Shaowen narrowed his eyes, stepped closer, and at the same time pressed the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand:

"Someone reported that you swallowed black black jade, sold the mine privately, and used power for personal gain after taking office. Come back to the execution hall with me."

"Who said that?" Cao Guanshi's eyes were flustered, and he hurriedly shouted:

"There is absolutely no such thing, this is slander!"

While shouting angrily, he subconsciously looked at Zhou Jia.

Not only Cao Guanshi, but since the people from Xingtang appeared in the mine, many eyes were secretly looking at Zhou Jia, with different expressions.

Zhou Jia looked bewildered, as if he was completely ignorant.

This scene confuses others. If it is said who is the informer, Zhou Jia must be the most suspected person among the people present, but how long has he been in the mine?

Moreover, he has been stared at by people all the time, and he doesn't even know how much he earns every day. How can he tell the truth?

"Whether it is true or not, let's talk about it in the torture hall." Cheng Shaowen was expressionless:

"If you are really innocent, the hall master will never wrong a good person, but if it is true, then don't blame the rules for being ruthless!"

"Yes, yes." Guanshi Cao's eyes flickered, and he took a step back slightly:

"I'll pack my things."

"No need." Cheng Shaowen waved his hand, and a group of subordinates immediately surrounded him:

"There is everything in the punishment hall, there is no need to clean it up. Guanshi Cao should come with me. The hall master is waiting for you."

"This..." Guanshi Cao gritted his teeth and said with an ugly face:

"I still have Hei Xuanyu to register in the account, and I need to report to Deacon Lu and the second elder. If I leave suddenly, what should I do if someone tampers with the account?"

"Huh?" Cheng Shaowen frowned.

He wasn't afraid of Deacon Lu, but the Second Elder did need to be scrupled.

"Brother Cheng, don't worry." Guanshi Cao bent down and cupped his hands again, begging in a low voice:

"There are not many things, it will be ready soon."

"Hurry up!" Cheng Shaowen looked worried, and waved his hands:

"Go to two people and watch him."

"Yes!"

Immediately, a person from the left and right stepped out, and surrounded them with their swords tightly grasped.

Guanshi Cao opened his mouth, his face seemed a little displeased, but finally he nodded, straightened his clothes, turned around and entered the wooden house.

The door of the room was opened, and he entered the inner room, and the two people from the torture hall followed him.

After a while.

"Don't worry, you two, it will be fine soon."

Cao Guanshi's voice came out, mixed with a small hum.

This voice made Cheng Shaowen frowned, turned his head slightly, and then his complexion suddenly changed, as if he had discovered something, he opened his mouth and roared:

"The surname is Cao!"

"you dare!"

When he roared, he was already pounced on the wooden house like a tiger, and the long knife at his waist was unsheathed at some point, and the dazzling light of the knife violently sliced ​​through the wall of the house.

"boom……"

The iron wood used to build the wooden house was vulnerable to the light of the knife, and it exploded in an instant, and a figure inside flew back amidst the flying sawdust.

It's Steward Cao!

And the two law enforcement officers of the torture hall have already fallen to the ground, their foreheads sunken, and they have no breath. The dead cannot die again.

He even secretly solved the person who was watching him, trying to escape secretly!

"Crash!"

In an instant, the people from the torture hall roared and rushed towards Guanshi Cao.

Cheng Shaowen followed the knife with his body, but there was no figure in the light of the knife. He followed the figure in front of him closely, rushed out more than a few feet in one breath, and fought more than ten moves.

but……

"Sixth Grade!"

Cheng Shaowen glared at Guanshi Cao angrily, his eyes wide open with disbelief:

"You turned out to be a sixth grade!"

The mine here is just a place to raise idlers, Yulonghui has never cared much about it, and the supervisor even went through the back door of the second elder, and it is clearly written as a fifth-rank in the file.

Rank [-], enough to go to a better place!

The one surnamed Cao not only didn't leave, but also concealed his true strength, it must be because he can get more benefits here.

"That's right." Guanshi Cao snorted coldly, turning into a black shadow and retreating violently:

"Brother Cheng, farewell!"

"Want to leave?" Cheng Shaowen snorted coldly, chasing after him:

"Leave me!"
