Chapter 146 Kill Them All, Leaving No One Behind.

Jin Wu shook his head, "I don't know about this. Lord Zhang sent two magicians to me. They can find the location of the gold ore. We are only responsible for digging."

"Magicians? Where are they?"

Jin Wu looked at the corpses on the ground and said, "You shot them!"

Ning Chen: "..."

"How much gold ore did you dig in total?"

"I don't know! We divided into two groups and dug day and night. Anyway, it was a lot."

Ning Chen frowned, "You knocked the gold ore into the wood, and then threw it into the river and let it flow downstream. Who will meet you downstream?"

Jin Wu said, "They are also Lord Zhang's people. The leader is called Li Ji."

"Where will these gold ores be transported to in the end?"

Jin Wu shook his head, "I don't know. Lord Zhang didn't say... But I accidentally heard Lord Zhang mutter a sentence after he got drunk. After these gold ores are refined into gold, they will be secretly sent to the capital."

Ning Chen's eyes shrank slightly.

Discovering a gold mine and daring to mine it privately, this person is very courageous, and he must be in a high position.

Could it be the left prime minister?

All memorials will be reviewed by the cabinet. Small matters will not trouble Emperor Xuan, and only major matters will be reported to His Majesty for his decision.

Jiang Zhengyang submitted several memorials, but in the end, they all fell into oblivion.

This memorial is very likely to be suppressed by the Left Prime Minister.

The possibility of the Left Prime Minister is very high.

The gold mine is in Yang'an County. It seems that in addition to Zhang Yuancang, the Yang'an County Magistrate must also be involved.

Ning Chen looked at Jin Wu, "What you said is not very valuable."

Jin Wu's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Ning Yinyi, I can identify Lord Zhang in person."

Ning Chen snorted and said disdainfully: "Do you think that Zhang Yuancang has entered the prison of my Supervisory Department, and there are still secrets that we can't dig out?"

"It concerns the safety of your wife and children. Think about it carefully. Is there anything you forgot to tell me?"

Jin Wu thought for a long time and shook his head and said: "I have said everything I know... I beg you to show mercy and let my wife and children live."

"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"

Ning Chen thought for a moment and said: "Okay, I'll give you a chance! As long as you identify Zhang Yuancang, I promise to protect your wife and children."

"I am willing, thank you, thank you..."

Jin Wu was grateful and kowtowed continuously.

At this time, Yuan Long came over.

Ning Chen looked at him, "Did you find out anything useful?"

Yuan Long shook his head, "These people are just thieves. They lost money in the gambling house and were recruited here to mine and pay off their debts... I don't know anything else."

"Their confessions are consistent. I don't think they are lying."

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

"Yuan Long, since they are useless, chop them all, leaving no one alive... Such people living in the world are a complete waste of food."

Yuan Long nodded, "Yes!"

"Gather all the bodies and set them on fire!" Ning Chen said, pointing at Jin Wu, "Take him back to the Yang'an County Office. No one is allowed to approach him except me."

"Also, tell Qi Yuanzhong to control all the people in the Yang'an County Office and wait for me to deal with them when I go back."

Yuan Long leaned over, "Yes!"

Ning Chen turned and came to Wu Tiezhu, saying, "You go back with them first... Jin Wu can't die for the time being. He is still useful. Don't worry, he will definitely die, but not now."

Wu Tiezhu nodded with red eyes.

"Xiao Chen, thank you!"

If it weren't for Ning Chen, he would never have thought of revenge in his life.

Ning Chen smiled and patted his shoulder, "When I finish the things on hand, I will accompany you back to the village to pay tribute to Uncle Wu and others."

Wu Tiezhu nodded.

Ning Chen took a dozen people away and searched along the river downstream.

After walking for about half an hour, they met two soldiers.

"General Ning!"

The two hurried forward to salute.

Ning Chen asked: "What's the situation over there?"

"We tracked along the river all the way, and then found a group of people who fished up those woods and prepared to load them onto carriages to transport them away...We have already captured them. Feng Yinyi ordered the two of us to report to General Ning."

Ning Chen nodded, hummed, and said: "Take me there!"

Not long after walking, they saw Feng Qizhen and others.

There is a very hidden road by the river. It is not very wide and can only accommodate one carriage.

There are also five carriages parked next to it, with wood tied to them.

Feng Qizheng came forward and pointed at the controlled enemies... There were not many people here, a total of more than 30 people.

"Ning Chen, a few died, and the rest were all captured."

"Are our people not injured?"

"A few were slightly injured, but it's okay!"

Ning Chen nodded, "Let the military doctor take a look at them after returning."

Feng Qizheng nodded, and then said with a strange look on his face: "I just saw that these are ordinary wood... Are these people worth their lives for some wood?"

Ning Chen smiled and said: "It's wood on the surface, but there's actually something inside... These woods are hollow, and there are gold ore inside. They found a gold mine and have been digging it privately."

Feng Qizheng opened his mouth wide.

"No wonder the weight of these woods is a bit strange. I thought it was because they were soaked in water, so they were heavier."

"Privately digging for gold is a capital crime... I said they were fighting desperately?"

Ning Chen smiled, then walked to the group of people who were controlled, glanced at them coldly, and asked: "Who is Li Ji?"

No one said anything.

Perhaps they knew they were guilty of a capital crime, and their faces were pale, as if they had lost their parents.

Ning Chen drew out his knife and pointed it at a person, "Who is Li Ji?"

The latter remained silent and trembled.

Ning Chen sneered, raised his knife and fell, blood splattered three feet.

The long knife moved sideways and pointed at another person.

Without waiting for Ning Chen to ask, the man pointed to a middle-aged man with a goatee, "He, he is Li Ji."

Ning Che glanced at Li Ji, put away the knife, and ordered Feng Qizhen, "Leave this Li Ji for me, chop all the others, don't leave a single one!"

"Don't you want to interrogate them?"

"They are all thieves, they don't know anything, chop them all for me."

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "I lived in Changshou Village when I was a child, and grew up eating food from hundreds of families... But these beasts rushed into the village some time ago, burning, killing and looting, and those who had taken care of them all died under their butcher knives."

Feng Qizhen nodded, "You go to the side and rest for a while, and leave the rest to me."

Ning Chen was about to nod, but found that Li Ji was peeking at him, hesitating to speak.

Ning Chen walked over and looked at him, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Li Ji hung his head and said nothing.

Ning Chen was not in a hurry, watching the more than 30 people being taken to the river and kneeling in a row.

Some people kept begging for mercy.

Some people were so scared that they couldn't speak and collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud.

Some people were so scared that they lost control of their bowels and bladder.

Feng Qizheng shouted sternly: "Behead!"

More than thirty long swords chopped down.

For a moment, shrill screams resounded through the sky.

Blood gushed out, gathered into a river, and flowed into the river, with large patches of scarlet on the river surface.

Li Ji was so scared that he trembled like a sieve, his eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted.
