Beiyin Great Sage

As Lu Shan said, there is not much going on in the mine.

Zhou Jia's daily task is to take his two deputies around the mine to make sure there are no monsters, and then it's over.

The whole process took less than two hours.

The two deputies around him said they were helping, but in reality they were just following him.

As for the affairs in the mine, he never had the opportunity to intervene. In the words of Manager Cao, he had a 'noble' status and should not do such a dirty job.

Zhou Jia was so happy.

After his daily patrol, he would find a free place to rest, silently practice the Three Elements Method, and watch the progress on the experience bar slowly increase.

If it weren't for the feeling of being stared at with cold eyes from time to time, this kind of life would actually be quite good.

Less work, more money, closer to home.

Not false at all.

This was the case until a group of people broke it.

…………

Deacon Wei was obviously not a reckless person. It took half a month before a group of well-dressed people showed up at the mine.

"Where is Cao Honglai?"

The man in front of him had a gloomy face, a long knife hanging from his waist, a long gown embroidered with black textures that exuded a mysterious chill, and his cold gaze made people dare not look at him.

He glanced at everyone in the mine and said coldly:

"Let him come out to me!"

This group of people wear uniform clothes and wear waist badges. Their identities are famous in the Fish and Dragon Society, and everyone knows and knows them.

"People from the execution hall, what are they doing here?"

"Guard Cao committed a crime?"

"It won't involve us..."

As the Fish and Dragon Society specializes in dealing with those who violate internal rules, the execution chamber is the only one left. Once they do, it will often bring about a bloody storm.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Zhou Jia's eyes flashed and he said nothing. He was just as curious as the others, as if he was guessing what the people in the torture hall were doing here.

"Isn't this Mr. Cheng?" Lu Shan hurriedly came closer, with a flattering look on his face and bowed his back:

"Why do you have time to come here?"

"The mine is very dusty. Several people came into the house. I asked someone to pour tea..."

"No need." Cheng Shaowen waved his hand with a cold face:

"On the order of the hall master, I took Cao Honglai, the manager of the mine, to the execution hall. I have something to ask. Why, Cao Honglai is not here today?"

"As a mine supervisor, if you leave your post without permission, it will be an even greater crime."

"This..." Lu Shan's face turned pale.

"What's going on?" At this time, Manager Cao, who had been resting in the room, finally noticed something unusual outside, and Shi Shiran opened the door and walked out.

When he saw the group of people in the execution hall, his expression also changed.

"Cao Hong is coming!" Seeing the person appear, Cheng Shaowen shrank his eyes and stepped closer, while holding the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand:

"Someone reported that you swallowed up black jade, sold the mineral deposits privately, and used your power for personal gain over the years after taking office. Come back to the execution hall with me."

"Who said that?" Manager Cao was panic-stricken and shouted hurriedly:

"This is absolutely not the case. This is slander!"

While shouting angrily, he subconsciously looked at Zhou Jia.

Not only Manager Cao, but also many people from the execution hall looked at Zhou Jia secretly when they appeared in the mine, with different expressions.

Zhou Jia looked confused, seemingly ignorant.

This scene made others a little confused. If there was a whistleblower, Zhou Jia must be the most suspect among everyone present, but how long had he been in the mine?

And he was being watched closely all the time, and he didn’t even know how much he was earning every day, so how could he tell the truth?

"Yes or no, let's wait until we get to the execution hall." Cheng Shaowen said expressionlessly:

"If you are really innocent, the hall master will never wrongly accuse a good person, but if the matter is true, then don't blame the rules for being ruthless!"

"Yes, yes." Manager Cao's eyes flashed and he took a step back slightly:

"I'll pack my things."

"No need." Cheng Shaowen waved his hand, and his men immediately gathered around:

"There's everything in the execution hall, so there's no need to clean it up. Manager Cao, you'd better come with me. The hall master is waiting for you."

"This..." Manager Cao looked ugly and gritted his teeth and said:

"I still have Black Mysterious Jade to register in the accounts, and I need to report it to Deacon Lu and the Second Elder. What if I leave suddenly and someone tampered with the accounts?"

"Huh?" Cheng Shaowen frowned.

He was not afraid of Deacon Lu, but he did need to be wary of the Second Elder.

"Brother Cheng, don't worry." Manager Cao bent down and cupped his hands again, begging in a low voice:

"There's not much, it'll be ready soon."

"Hurry up!" Cheng Shaowen looked worried and waved his hand:

"Go and watch him, two men."

"yes!"

Someone from the left and right immediately walked out, holding their swords tightly and surrounding them.

Manager Cao opened his mouth, his face seemed a little unhappy, but finally nodded, adjusted his clothes and turned around to enter the wooden house.

The door of the room opened, and he entered the inner room, followed by the two people from the execution hall.

After a while.

"Don't worry, you two, we'll be fine soon."

Manager Cao's voice came out, mixed with a slight hum.

This voice made Cheng Shaowen frown, tilt his head slightly, and then his expression suddenly changed. He seemed to have discovered something, and he opened his mouth and roared:

"The surname is Cao!"

"you dare!"

As he roared, he rushed towards the wooden house like a tiger. The long knife on his waist was unsheathed at some point, and the dazzling light of the knife slashed through the wall of the house.

"boom……"

The iron wood used to build the wooden house was vulnerable to the light of the sword and exploded instantly. The sawdust flew into the air and a figure inside took advantage of the situation and flew away.

It's Manager Cao!

The two law enforcement officers of the execution hall had fallen to the ground, their foreheads were sunken, their breath was gone, and they could no longer die.

He actually secretly killed the person who was watching him and tried to escape secretly!

"Crash!"

In an instant, the people from the torture hall roared and rushed towards Guanshi Cao.

Cheng Shaowen followed the sword and saw no one in sight. He chased the figure in front of him and rushed forward for more than ten feet in one breath, executing more than ten moves.

but……

"Sixth grade!"

Cheng Shaowen glared at Manager Cao angrily, his eyes widening with disbelief:

"You are actually a sixth grade!"

The mine is just a place for idlers, and the Fish and Dragon Society has never paid much attention to it. The supervisor even went through the second elder's back door. The file clearly stated that he was a fifth-grade person.

Rank six is ​​enough to go to a better place!

Not only did the man named Cao not leave, but he also concealed his true strength. It must be because he could get more benefits here.

"Not bad." Manager Cao snorted coldly and turned into a black shadow and retreated:

"Brother Cheng, farewell!"

"Want to leave?" Cheng Shaowen snorted coldly and chased after him:

"Leave me alone!"

He is also a sixth-grade marrow-slayer, and as the adopted son of the Master of the Punishment Hall, he has a better inheritance and is stronger than Guanshi Cao.

The two of them rushed into the dense forest one after the other, leaving behind a group of people who were at a loss what to do.

"what happened?"

"Guanshi Cao is actually a sixth-grade person?"

"He even dares to kill people in the execution hall. It seems that Manager Cao must be dirty."

"nonsense!"

Zhou Jia was also secretly frightened, and even more grateful:

'Fortunately, fortunately, I was honest enough during this period and did not attract the attention of Cao, otherwise I don't know what day I would 'disappear' on the road. ’

It is true that he has a trump card, but judging from the actions of Guanshi Cao and Cheng Shaowen just now, if they provoke violence, they may not be their opponents.

but……

The man named Cao wants to engulf the mineral deposits secretly, and he definitely can't do it alone.

With his thoughts turning, Zhou Jia looked at the crowd.

In the crowd, there were indeed a few people with strange expressions. When they saw his gaze, they turned around and ran towards the dense forest.

"What are you going to do?"

Lushan saw this and yelled:

"Stop them!"
