The first person who could not bear the punishment was Wu Kezhi, a young man in his twenties, with a gentle and fair complexion, and it was obvious at first glance that he could not endure hardship.

"Stop fighting. I'll tell you everything. The gold was sent to our tribe by someone who knows nothing about it. They wore masks and didn't speak. They wrote down everything they were going to do on paper."

The head of the Yue family was silent for a moment, then asked, "What else? Keep going."

But Wu Kezhi confessed, and You Liuqi followed suit. They had no choice but to confess, as this man was the head of the Yue family, and this was their first official meeting with him.

They did recognize him privately, but the head of the Yue family was high up and didn't know them.

This time he came in person to interrogate, and he asked about the gold. Something must have happened, otherwise how could he have gone to the tribe and captured them.

"They come to us every time, and we don't know who they are. After the exchange is completed, they give us a commission, and the amount is determined by them."

Wu Kezhi nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we are just errand boys. We don't know anything else."

The head of the Yue family glanced at them and asked sinisterly, "When is the next exchange? Is there an agreement?"

You Liuqi shook his head: "No, they always show up to find us out of the blue and never tell us the time."

The head of the Yue family didn't believe it: "Why are you so obedient? Why do you have to do what they say? Have you ever thought about taking the gold for yourself?"

Wu Kezhi and You Liuqi looked at each other, then shook their heads very quickly, their faces full of fear.

"Those people are very powerful. They will feed us poison beforehand and give us the antidote after the matter is done."

"That poison is not fake, it's real. The witch doctor of our tribe has checked it, and we dare not disobey. Otherwise, we will die. We don't want to die, so we can only do what they say."

The head of the Yue family was furious and started whipping the two of them. When he was tired, he threw the whip away and walked away with his hands behind his back.

After capturing these two men, apart from confirming that they were the ones who exchanged gold with him, no other useful information was obtained.

What is this?

He beat the man severely, but finding it useless, he let him go.

The Ming family has already noticed the Yue family's actions.

Only the eldest and second sons in the Ming family knew about turning stone into gold.

The eldest son of the Ming family is the next head of the Ming family in the future. There are some things he must know. Only when the father and son work together can they lead the Ming family to prosperity.

The second son of the Ming family had to tell him the secret of the bamboo forest in the back mountain because they wanted to requisition his daughter Ming Junjun.

In fact, Ming Junjun was also unlucky. One time, she went to play in the back mountain and was seen by the demon inside, who demanded her to serve him.

The head of the Ming family did not dare to disobey and took Ming Junjun away.

Afraid that the second son of the Ming family would cause trouble and expose the family secret, he told him the family secret before taking him away.

Now that I have said it all, I will not hide the fact that I can turn stone into gold. I will tell you everything.

The second son of the Ming family felt that this was a sign of his father's trust in him, so he generously gave away his daughter.

This is what Ming Zhaoyuan saw: even though his second brother's legitimate daughter was missing, he remained indifferent.

The head of the Ming family knew that the head of the Yue family was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and he also knew that he had embezzled a lot of money. He also thought that his recipe for turning stone into gold was unreliable, so he set his sights on him.

I didn't expect him to find out, and now he's arresting people all over the world to interrogate the whole story. Although the matter was done very covertly, if you look carefully, you can find clues.

What should I do now?

Ever since Lao Wu discovered that gold could turn into stone, he began to plot against the Yue family.

Anyway, it was a business with no capital, so he didn't care too much and used huge benefits to lure the Yue family's head. He was quickly fooled, but he didn't expect that he would find out so quickly.

I had originally thought that I would wait until I got to that position, and then I would use this incident to control him and force him to submit. I didn't expect that he was so smart, and he actually discovered the trick and caught me off guard.

For this matter, the Ming family's father and sons sat together to discuss it.

The head of the Ming family was a rather sinister person. After hearing what happened, he immediately said, "The people of the Wuzhe tribe are not trustworthy. We don't need to be polite to them. We should slaughter all the people there and make it look like they were attacked by bandits.

We must not let go of the two people who helped us and their families. As long as they are dead, no one will be able to find us."

The second son of the Ming family is a fool. He has no opinions on anything and always listens to his eldest brother.

"Father! I think what my eldest brother said is right. Just to be on the safe side, we should kill An Xin. The mouth of the dead is always reliable."

The head of the Ming family disagreed: "Killing those two people from the Wuzhe tribe will not help at all. The Yue family will send people to track them down. By then, we may be in a more passive position."

The second son of the Ming family: "What should we do? If we can't kill them, we can only keep them alive. Why did the Yue family capture them and then let them go? What do they want to do?"

The head of the Ming family hesitated and said, “Maybe the Yue family didn’t find any clues at all, so they had to let those two people go.

Father! Let's keep our hands off this matter for now, and wait and see what the Yue family's attitude is. If it doesn't work, we can take other measures."

The head of the Ming family agreed with the boss's words. He had originally planned to do so. The Yue family had captured the man but did not keep him, which meant that they had made arrangements very well. No one knew who had exchanged gold with the Yue family.

"Don't arrange for people to exchange in the near future. Think of other ways! If the Yue family doesn't work, forget it. Don't go to the back mountain again, so as not to cause any trouble." The head of the Ming family looked at his second son, "You should be more restrained outside recently. Big things have not been planned yet, so you should be low-key and restrained."

The second son of the Ming family smiled innocently: "I know. I will take my father's teachings to heart. Recently, I have fallen in love with a little girl from Dongsheng. The girl is very smart. I don't go anywhere and just stay with her all day."

The eldest brother of the Ming family looked at his second brother with annoyance: "Why did you tell father about this? You are going to be a grandfather soon, why are you still so unstable? Playing around is fine, but don't cause any trouble."

The head of the Ming family had a dark face and glared at his son: "Listen to your eldest brother. The three states and six prefectures will be returned soon. In the future, the people of Dongsheng cannot act casually. They are aliens and their hearts are worthy of death."

"Hehehe! No way, that little girl is very interesting."

The head of the Yue family was also calling his sons together to discuss the matter of the gold in the national treasury being turned into stone. Before they had finished discussing, the butler came outside the door and respectfully reported.

"Master! That mysterious note appeared again."

The head of the Yue family suddenly opened the door, looked at the note in the housekeeper's hand, and snatched it away. He really wanted to see what was written on the note.
