Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

The mine was very strange. Although there were daily necessities in it, there were no mining tools.

According to what King Jing'an said, the mine should have been excavated in recent years. Without the intervention of the imperial court, it would be very difficult for individuals to mine the entire mine in a short period of time.

Mining mines not only takes time, but also requires a lot of manpower and material resources, but they checked the surrounding villages, and no one has heard of an iron mine at the bottom of Guiya Valley.What is even more strange, if this iron mine has been mined, where is the ore in it transported?
This case is full of doubts, and the place where it happened coincides with the clues of the previous case of murdering the prince, so people have to associate the two things.

Fu Mingjue looked at the dark bottom of the valley, and said: "Since they showed their tails, they will definitely move again in the near future. Go back today and wait for the reinforcements to arrive tomorrow before going down to search."

Jiang Zhou responded and led the horse over: "My lord, shall we go back to the yamen?"

Ever since Zhao Guanglin knew Fu Mingjue's identity, he was hanging in front of him like a dog's skin plaster all day long. If he didn't know how much he weighed, Jiang Zhou would have thought he was blatantly watching.

Surveillance?

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized: "My lord, do you think that Zhao Guanglin is pretending to be confused?"

Fu Mingjue raised his eyebrows: "There is a possibility."

Although Zhao Guanglin had a flattering appearance, he was not afraid of death, knowing that Fu Mingjue would not kill him, he moved forward desperately.

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Guanglin was shocked, his body suddenly became weak, and he almost fell off the horse.

"clear."

Zhao Guanglin was sweating coldly when he watched him, wiped his forehead with his sleeve, and explained in a stuttering manner: "This little guy really doesn't know the inside story, these things are just heard, just heard."

Jiang Zhou didn't understand who he was waiting for, was he waiting for the reinforcements to arrive tomorrow, or was he waiting for someone else?

He had just sat firmly on the horse's back, and before he could take two steps, the sound of horse's hooves behind him gradually stopped.

"Master Zhao, it's so late, why are you here?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes," Zhao Guanglin immediately stopped, stepped on the horse on the servant's back in a panic, "Get out, get out quickly!"

"Then shall we go back tonight?" Jiang Zhou asked.

"You don't know about Wu Changhai, you still don't know about Liu Shu's assassination," Fu Mingjue approached him on horseback, his eyes were cold, "You are really confused as a county magistrate."

After they were far away, the master hurriedly helped Zhao Guanglin up: "My lord, are you alright?"

Living in the yamen these days, he either delivers ginseng soup at night or invites him to drink tea during the day.At first, Jiang Zhou only thought that he was trying to curry favor, but now that he thought about it carefully, he realized that there were many suspicious things in it.

Jiang Zhou followed his gaze, only seeing a patch of thick ink.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes approaching quickly, Zhao Guanglin was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, grabbed the yamen servant who lit the fire and beat him up violently: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault! If you light a fire properly, your eyes will grow white? Do you know what it means to follow and light a fire? I will let you light it, and I will let you light it!"

The master hurriedly supported him and reminded: "My lord, didn't you worry about the safety of the prince, so you came here to pick up the prince?"

Back at the yamen, Jiang Zhou closed the door after confirming that no one was eavesdropping everywhere, and said, "My lord, according to my subordinates, Zhao Guanglin must know about Liu Shu's assassination, otherwise he wouldn't say that kind of thing tonight."

"Yes." Without hesitation, Jiang Zhou got on his horse immediately, and the two of them rode the night straight to the place where the fire was lit just now.

Fu Mingjue opened a file at random, and there was only one word: "Wait."

Fu Mingjue didn't explain, but only looked at the file seriously, and when his eyes fell on a certain text, he paused suddenly, his eyes filled with joy: "This king knows where Liu Shu is."

Fu Mingjue said: "He not only knows the inside story of Liu Shu's assassination, but also knows the secrets hidden under Guiya Valley. A small county magistrate has such a city, so it can be seen that the people behind him should not be underestimated."

Zhao Guanglin's eyes dodged: "Yes, yes, after all, the place where the assassination took place is some way away from the city, and the young one only knew about such a thing when he received a report from the villagers."

Zhao Guanglin's body went limp, and he fell off the horse in fright.

"No problem," Zhao Guanglin looked serious, and he no longer had the timid and fearful look before, "Jing Wang came here tonight to find the traces of those people, and the people from Liangzhou will arrive tomorrow. Send a letter back to the capital immediately. Tell the news to the master."

"is it?"

Fu Mingjue looked at the flames that flashed on and off in the dark forest in the distance, and the corners of his lips curled up: "That's not sure."

Fu Mingjue sneered coldly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your kindness, but I remember that when I asked you earlier if you knew about the assassination of the supervisory censor, your answer seemed to be that you didn't know?"

"Huh?" Jiang Zhou thought it was ridiculous, "How dare he follow?"

The servant who was beaten hugged his head and wailed: "My lord, my lord, I know I was wrong, don't beat me! Let's retreat quickly. If you are bumped into by King Jing later, you will not be able to explain it!"

"Get on the horse, don't make them wait too long."

They have stayed in Yuan'an County for three days, but they have not found any clues. If this continues, they may not be able to explain to His Majesty.

"Yes, yes." Zhao Guanglin suddenly gained confidence, straightened his waist, and put on a flattering smile, "The prince doesn't know something. There was an assassination here a few days ago. The scene was quite tragic. The official is missing! I heard that after you left the city, I was worried that you would also meet those vicious gangsters, so I hurriedly brought someone over to pick you up."

Fu Mingjue withdrew his gaze, said no more, rode his horse and left first.

Fu Mingjue looked down at his pale face from above, and said with a sneer, "Master Zhao is sitting well, why did you fall down? This king has never said that you will be dismissed, why are you panicking?"

"Then what do we do next?"

"Liangzhou Wei will go to Yuan'an County tomorrow, so of course we have to go back tonight." Fu Mingjue got on his horse, pulled the rein and turned around, "Guess, will we meet Zhao Guanglin on the way back?"

"Yes yes yes" Zhao Guanglin's scalp was numb and his legs were trembling, "It's just a little confusion, my lord forgive me."

"What?" Jiang Zhou was confused.

"Liu Shu was assassinated while passing through Yuan'an County, and the place where he last appeared was very close to Guiya Valley. We searched the vicinity for a long time, but we couldn't find any trace of him. From this, it can be seen that he should have gone into hiding, and he just hid. In the mine below Ghost Cliff Valley."

Jiang Zhou was overjoyed, but then expressed concern: "If this is the case, wouldn't Liu Shu be in danger?"

"No, since this king can think of this place, so can they. King Jing'an said that the terrain in the mine is complicated, and if there is no map, it is very likely to get lost. This king guessed that they should have searched the bottom of the valley a few times. But they couldn't find Liu Shu, so I'm going back tonight, probably for other reasons."

Fu Mingjue believes that there should be more than Liu Shu hiding in that mine, maybe there is something else
