Tuxian Road

Feng Fan traded some thousand-year-old spirit grass for some gold and silver, and came to Jinshui County to find out the cause of Ding Qiujie's death.He sat quietly at the table, looking down carefully through the window.

"Guest officer, what do you want?" A clerk from Chunfenglou came to Fengfan and asked with a smile on his face.

"A plate of beef and two pieces of dry food." Feng Fan said and handed an ingot of gold to the waiter.

"This..." The guy's face showed an unbelievable expression, a plate of beef and two pieces of dry food took out such an ingot of gold, which surprised the guy.

"Except for the meal money, I don't need to look for the rest, I will give it to you, I just want to ask you something." Feng Fan moved the ingot of gold closer to the clerk.

"My lord, just ask if you have anything, Jinshui County can hide nothing from me!" The man was startled for a moment, then slapped his chest, took the ingot of gold, and said happily.

"Where is Master Qin Chengyue's residence?" Feng Fan finally got to the point.

"From here, walk one mile to the south along the right path and you'll be Lord Qin's county magistrate's mansion. However, Lord Qin is busy supervising the mining of ore. It may be difficult for guest officials to see Lord Qin."

"County magistrate? Isn't Mr. Qin the head of the cell?" Feng Fan asked in a deep voice with a slight twitch in his heart.

"The guest officer doesn't know anything. Since the death of County Magistrate Ding half a year ago, Mr. Qin has taken over his position. These days, as long as you have enough money, you can buy an official position." The man finally lowered his voice, For fear of being heard by others.

"Where is that quarry? What's so special about it that you bothered the county magistrate to supervise it in person?"

"The stone mine is in a remote place more than ten miles north of here. I just heard that the stones extracted from that mine are secretly sent to a place where most people don't know the exact location. It's not gold and silver. , I don’t know why it’s so mysterious? As for the others, I’m not very clear.” The guy first looked around to make sure no one was paying attention here, and told Feng Fan what he said.

"Thank you very much." Feng Fan was very satisfied with the buddy's answer, and said with a smile on his face.

"It's nothing to worry about trivial matters, guest officer, just wait a moment, I'll go down and prepare meals for you." The man turned and left. . . . . .There are mountains in front, and there is a low-lying land between the mountains, surrounded by barren weeds.The depression in the middle has sunk slightly, revealing huge white boulders.There are some white ores that have been mined around, and white stone powder is floating in the air.

There are dozens of people below, and they are constantly mining ore.Everyone is shirtless and strong. Although they are sweating profusely under the scorching sun, everyone has no intention of stopping.Bursts of piercing sounds echoed around, like a chaotic piece of music.

A middle-aged man in official uniform stood by, staring at those people closely, with a slight anxiety on his face.This person's face was like black charcoal, and his figure was burly. He held a short knife tightly in his right hand, and the blade gleamed coldly under the sunlight.

A young man suddenly appeared around the depression. It was Feng Fan who went to the county magistrate's mansion to look for Qin Chengyue but failed, and then found this place.Feeling the fluctuation of true energy in front of him, Feng Fan felt a little pleasantly surprised, the familiar feeling that he accidentally discovered the crystal jade mine 11 years ago came to his heart again.

"Boy, who are you, how dare you break into the important place of the official house?" Seeing Feng Fan appearing in front, the middle-aged man asked with a gloomy expression.Those who were mining the ore also stopped, looking at Feng Fan with unkind expressions.

"I just wanted to find Qin Chengyue, the county magistrate of Jinshui County, so I came here." Feng Fan replied coldly.

"My official is Qin Chengyue, who are you?" The dagger in Qin Chengyue's hand trembled, as if he was protesting against Feng Fan.

"How did Ding Qiujie die?" Cold words came from Feng Fan's mouth.

Qin Chengyue didn't speak, but gave his subordinates a wink, and those people quickly walked out of the depression and surrounded Feng Fan in the middle.Everyone was hostile, wishing to kill Feng Fan immediately.

"Take him down." Following Qin Chengyue's order, those people waved their hammers and chisels towards Fengfan.

Feng Fan jumped up quickly, and as he waved his left hand, countless icicles shot out.There were endless screams, and dozens of people fell to the ground one after another.Several blood holes appeared on everyone's body, and countless blood arrows sprayed out, like countless fountains intertwined, and a strong fishy smell filled the surroundings.

Qin Chengyue was terrified by the sight in front of him, and his face became a little distorted because of fear.Feng Fan slowly landed on the ground, and cast his cold eyes on Qin Chengyue again. Even in the scorching summer, a cold feeling flooded Qin Chengyue's body.

"Tell me, how did Ding Qiujie die?" Feng Fan's question was like a thunderbolt, waking Qin Chengyue out of shock.Qin Chengyue already understood that the person who came was a cultivator.

Qin Chengyue gritted his teeth and raised his left hand. A bamboo whistle arrow soared into the sky with a high-pitched whistling sound, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Regarding Qin Chengyue's summoning of his accomplices, Feng Fan showed a sarcastic look.Even if there are thousands of troops, Feng Fan doesn't care at all, the power of mortals can no longer pose any threat to him.

The next moment, Feng Fan appeared in front of Qin Chengyue like a ghost, and the Qinghong sword was already on Qin Chengyue's neck.

"Now we can tell the truth!" The Qinghong sword in Feng Fan's hand was tightly locked on Qin Chengyue's neck, and slightly pierced into the flesh, a trace of blood leaked from the place where the Qinghong sword touched the neck.

"Don't kill me! I say! I say!" Qin Chengyue begged in panic, and the dagger in his hand also fell to the ground, making a crisp sound of the sword hitting the stone, which made Qin Chengyue's body tremble slightly.

Gathering his mind, Qin Chengyue said cautiously: "Half a year ago, I discovered this crystal jade mine in this place. At that time, I wanted to mine it secretly, but it was discovered by Ding Qiujie, no, Master Ding, so I took this The incident was reported to my Qin family, and you should know about the Qin family in the ancient Jinyue country."

Hearing Qin Chengyue mentioning the Qin family, Feng Fan snorted coldly, seemed a little dismissive, and asked, "How do you know this quarry is a crystal jade mine?"

"The young one can be regarded as a member of the Qin family. It's just that he failed to cultivate in the early years, and he couldn't even reach the first level of the Qi gathering period, so he came to this secular place. Originally, the young one was going to be a part-time official, and then But the rest of his life. Because the little one had practiced before, when he accidentally approached this place, he felt the fluctuation of true energy here, so he reported it to the family. Finally, the family sent monks over and found that this place was a small crystal jade Mine." Qin Chengyue's tone was cautious, lest he say something wrong, offend the evil star in front of him, and take his life.
