Help!Master Chief Assistant's Jiaojiao is a black widow

Chapter 175
Fifty miles east of the city is an abandoned pier.

When Ye Chengwei brought people here, there was no sign of anyone.

They sent people to search around, only to find that this is a hidden mine for mining iron ore.

"My lord, the people in this mine seem to have just been evacuated."

The guards found some mining equipment that hadn't been cleared away in the future. Ye Chengwei randomly inspected a few pieces, thinking of the old man who was murdered, and combined with what he had recently found out about the Zhuo family's private sale of iron and rice grains to the north country. Things, I probably have a number in my heart.

"Immediately report this matter to the chief minister, and ask for additional manpower to seal the mine."

Ye Chengwei gave instructions to the subordinates, but did not put his mind on this mine anymore.

Obviously, the owner of the mine has taken precautions, and now the only way to find out who is behind the mine is to start with those assassins.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help secretly admiring Qi Huarujin's wisdom. Under such circumstances, she could still think of making a fuss about the old man who had died.

He left some people to take care of the mine, and he personally took the rest of the people around to visit, but he asked several families one after another, and no one had heard that this abandoned pier turned out to be a place for mining ore.

Thinking about the matter of Mount Baitu, he ordered people to check around if there were any missing persons, but the result also disappointed him, and no one was missing from any family.

He immediately concluded that the mining craftsmen should have been dispatched from elsewhere.

He kept running around until dawn, and seeing the people from the provincial government arrive at the mine, he led them back to the government office first.

It was already high in the sun, and the courtyard of the inspector's office was full of officials, big and small, and even the chief envoy rushed over in person.

But without exception, no one was summoned by King Ning.

Seeing Ye Chengwei's return, the chief envoy came forward with relief and asked, "How is it, Mr. Ye, what did you find?"

Ye Chengwei looked at his colleagues full of expectations, and slowly shook his head.

"The assassin from last night?"

The chief envoy frowned, feeling extremely anxious.

"The assassin last night did not come for His Highness."

Ye Chengwei looked at Hua Rujin who was coming out of the yamen, and said eloquently: "The official found out a hidden iron ore excavation site fifty miles east of the city, maybe someone escaped from there, That's what attracted the assassins."

"What happened to the escaped man?"

Another official asked anxiously.

"No problem."

Hua Rujin came forward in a hurry, and replied calmly: "It's just a slight injury, and I can accept the interrogation by the government after a day of recuperation."

"That couldn't be better."

The chief envoy nodded in satisfaction: "Master Ye, you must do your best to find out this matter. Someone actually opened an iron mine under the nose of our provincial government. It is simply not paying attention to the court."

There were also officials who couldn't bear it anymore and urged: "Master Fantai, since someone escaped from the mine, he should be interrogated immediately, and the truth should be found out earlier, so as to avoid long nights and dreams."

Hua Rujin secretly glanced at the official who spoke, not sure whether he really cared about the case or wanted to confirm whether the old man was dead.

If the old man is interrogated at this time, it will be exposed.

And looking at Ye Chengwei's expression, she guessed that he didn't gain much last night, and now he can only rely on the old man's body to lure the snake out of the cave.

Ye Chengwei understood this, and hurriedly said to the chief envoy: "Lord Fantai, this matter is of great importance. Before the conspiracy behind the mine is figured out, in order to ensure the safety of witnesses, it is not appropriate to interrogate in public."

At this time, Zhu Zhiye also came out of the Yamen Office, looked at the noisy officials in the yard, and reprimanded impatiently: "Everyone back down, the old man was frightened last night and needs to rest."

King Ning opened his mouth, but no one dared to stay here any longer. The chief minister led his subordinates to bow their hands to perform the salute, and then exited the inspector's mansion in an orderly manner.

After the courtyard was cleared, Zhu Zhiye quickly walked up to Hua Rujin, and asked for credit with a smile, "How about it, little Hua'er, can I perform well?"

"of course."

Hua Rujin smiled at him lightly, then looked back at Ye Chengwei, Ye Chengwei shook his head in disappointment: "All the miners in the mine have been transferred away."

"Since they have already been transferred, these people still want to silence the old man. I'm afraid the old man must know some other secrets."

Hua Rujin comforted her softly: "Your Excellency, don't worry, the assassin will definitely come again tonight."

Then he told him to rest in the Yamen for a while, and went to Mu's house by himself.

Seeing Mu Ran, she asked bluntly: "The last time Mr. Mu said that Zhuo Fan was not born with madness, is there any basis for it?"

"Zhuo Fan is the only blood of the Zhuo family's second wife. Before he was alive, he was in charge of many things in the Zhuo family. How could he be insane?"

Mu Ran said firmly, and afraid that she would be suspicious, he continued to explain: "I have heard people mention that Zhuo's family has been in close contact with King Fu these years, and King Fu needs to take a large amount of money from Zhuo's family every year. Zhuo Fan is the accountant, and I heard that someone saw him go to Zhuangzi outside the city to do some business."

"If King Fu is really in collusion with Zhuo's family to do shady things, then these things really cannot be meddled by outsiders. I'm afraid that King Fu, the third wife of the Zhuo family, can't believe it. The second wife is the family of Concubine Zhuo, so Prince Fu will naturally take care of it." Leave the matter to the second room."

Hua Rujin once again thought of the private mine discovered in the east of the city. If the Zhuo family is behind this, Zhuo Fan must be involved.

Thinking of this level, she suddenly had an idea in her mind: "As long as one major incident that Zhuo Fan personally participated in is found out, it is enough to prove that he is not guilty of madness."

Mu Ran was anxious to rescue his cousin, and asked impatiently, "Miss Hua, what do you need me to do?"

Hua Rujin smiled and shook her head: "You don't need to do anything, just wait quietly for the result."

After exhorting Mu Ran, he hurriedly left Mu's house.

In the Zhuo family's mansion, Third Master Zhuo was feeling grateful for having solved a difficult matter, and was leisurely sipping tea in the yard when he suddenly saw the butler walking in with a solemn expression.

"What happened again?"

Third Master Zhuo glared at the butler coldly.

"Third Master, something is wrong."

The housekeeper bit the bullet and reported the truth: "The iron mine that Mr. Fan operates in the east of the city has been seized by the government."

"iron ore?"

Third Master Zhuo was so frightened that he spit out all the tea: "I heard some rumors before that Fan'er dug iron mines without permission. He really dared to do such a bold thing. It would be a great crime to destroy the nine clans."

"Third Lord, this is not the son's idea. His Royal Highness Fu Wang needs a lot of money, so he entrusted him to do it."

The butler looked bitter: "A few days ago, my son was killed by that little bitch of the Tang family. The management of the mine was a little looser, so someone took the opportunity to escape. When I learned last night, that person had already escaped from the mine. , Although I sent someone to arrest that person, it was a step too late after all, and he was already rescued by His Highness Ning Wang and the new inspector."

"This"

Third Master Zhuo's face was ashen, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Third Master, you have to think of a way. Those miners have all seen you. If they reveal you, not only will you not be able to hide the fact that you are insane, but the mining of iron mines will implicate the whole family. Zhuo family."

Now, the housekeeper had no choice but to put all his hopes on the Patriarch Sanfang, and earnestly begged: "The old lady said, let the third master suppress this matter no matter what."

"There is no other way. The only way is to arrange people to find a way to get rid of that person as soon as possible."

For a while, Third Master Zhuo couldn't think of a better way.

"Why don't you discuss it with Governor Luo first?"

The butler was a little worried and asked in a low voice.

"If he knows that you are doing such stupid things without telling him, he will destroy the Zhuo family first."

Thinking of Luo Chuhuai's warning, Third Master Zhuo's scalp felt numb for a while, so he dared not mention this matter to him again, and hurriedly urged: "Quickly prepare the manpower, and solve this trouble as soon as possible."
