Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

The more Guan Hong listened to this, the colder his body felt, and his heart began to feel numb.

He asked Gu Yan cautiously, "Sir, how about we go over there and take a look?"

Gu Yan nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Guan Hong walked in front and went over with Gu Yan to check the details.

It turned out that these were the masterpieces of Gu Yan's men - the results of the mountain search over this period of time.

In fact, Gu Yan just asked his men to guide those yamen runners a little bit.

But even so, he was well aware of the situation here, so he looked so calm at the moment.

This made Guan Hong secretly sigh in his heart: Sir, you really have great self-control!

Even the coroner standing by had not expected that he would be carried directly to the mountain early in the morning and witness so many corpses with his own eyes.

What is even more surprising is that this time the case they took over was such a shocking one.

For a moment, the coroner felt his scalp tingling. The scene before him was far more than all the corpses he had examined in the past decade or so combined.

Many yamen runners worked hard for a whole night and finally dug out a total of eighty-six bodies from under the land.

Two days later, the coroner presented the detailed autopsy results to Gu Yan and County Magistrate Guan, and reported: "Sir, after careful inspection by this subordinate, the oldest body here dates back to sixteen years ago, and the most recent one was killed just last month..."

Afterwards, the coroner described the specific circumstances of each body one by one and presented detailed autopsy records.

Hearing this, Gu Yan's eyes suddenly darkened, and he and County Magistrate Guan quickly exchanged glances.

Because both of them knew very well that sixteen years ago was the year when this group of bandits took root here.

Thinking of this, the cold sweat on County Magistrate Guan's forehead could not stop flowing down.

After all, Huangmei County has gone through several county magistrates in these sixteen years.

What is unbelievable is that no one had noticed that there was such a large-scale bandit den hidden right under their noses!

What's more, these bandits are responsible for killing people.

At this time, Gu Yan was thinking more deeply.

A person who possesses such ability and influence and has successfully covered up the tracks of this group of bandits for more than a decade must have great influence in the imperial court.

Once this case is reported, the court will probably experience some turmoil in the near future.

At this moment, County Magistrate Guan was extremely anxious, not knowing whether he could still keep the black hat on his head, which symbolized power and status.

He looked at Gu Yan with a pale face and trembling body, and asked tremblingly: "Sir, you see... these things that have happened recently really make me anxious!"

Unconsciously, he had come to regard Gu Yan as his backbone, hoping to get some guidance and comfort from this wise man.

Facing the panicked County Magistrate Guan, Gu Yan remained unusually calm and composed.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Your Excellency the County Magistrate does not need to worry too much, you just need to send a fast rider to report the incident here in detail to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan as soon as possible.

As far as I know, the people arranged by the prince will arrive in Quzhou soon."

You must know that Quzhou is the fief of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, and all affairs here are under the full responsibility of the Prince of Yan's Palace.

Hearing this, County Magistrate Guan was stunned at first, but then he suddenly realized and nodded.

It was indeed as Mr. Gu said. He had previously written a letter to report on the incident of bandits kidnapping and trafficking in persons to the Prince of Yan's Palace.

Now that there has been new major development in this matter, it is natural to ask our superiors for a decision.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Guan, who had been in a state of panic for the past few days, finally seemed to have found support and slowly settled down.

The night is getting darker and everything is silent.

After a busy day, Gu Yan dragged his slightly tired body back to the study.

Just two days ago, they moved into a mansion they purchased in Huangmei County.

This house has three courtyards with a reasonable layout and is spacious and bright.

Even though there are now hundreds of people staying here, it still seems very spacious and not crowded at all.

Previously, due to the influence of the Gu Qingzhi incident, Gu Yan acted decisively and quickly mobilized many personnel from the Qixing Tower near the provincial capital to come to Huangmei County for reinforcement.

Now, the issue of the stone has again attracted attention, and it is speculated that a group of people will need to be stationed in this area for a long time.

To this end, Tianji worked as fast as possible to arrange related matters. He not only purchased houses in the city for these people to live in, but also bought a large-scale villa outside the city near a quiet village.

Nowadays, the rest of the people in the state capital near Qixing Tower live in this villa.

In recent days, they have climbed up the mountain every day to explore carefully. Their hard work paid off, and today, they finally achieved significant results!

Yaoguang was overjoyed and couldn't wait to report the good news to Gu Yan:

"Master, there is news!

After our in-depth investigation, we found that this mountain is deeply loved by local people because there is a large rock on the top of the mountain that looks very much like a monkey head. They affectionately call it "Monkey Head Mountain".

In addition, according to the information from the preliminary survey of the Ministry of Commerce, there is indeed a gold mine in Houtou Mountain!

And judging by the current exploration situation, the reserves of this gold mine are really not small!"

Gu Yan took the letter and read it carefully word by word, a satisfied smile gradually appearing on his face.

After a brief thought, he decisively ordered: "Send more personnel immediately and continue to intensify the exploration work.

We must thoroughly understand the details of this gold mine before Prince Zhao's men arrive!"

After saying that, he looked up at Yaoguang and asked, "By the way, how long will it take for the envoy arranged by the prince to arrive here?"

Yaoguang briefly recalled the contents of the letter she had received before, and then replied, "My Lord, according to the previous letter, it is estimated that it will take about three days to arrive."

Hearing this, Gu Yan couldn't help but frowned slightly, his face turned a little ugly, and he thought to himself: What's going on? It actually takes another three days!

Could it be that we encountered some difficult troubles on the road?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

A full half month has passed since County Magistrate Guan sent the letter to Prince Yan's Palace.

He firmly believed that the prince must be aware of the seriousness and severity of the matter and must attach great importance to it. Once he received the letter, he should immediately send an envoy to deal with the matter.

According to the distance from Huangmei to Prince Yan's Mansion, the envoy should have arrived long ago.
