The rider on horseback was dressed in black robes, with a long sword at his waist, and his eyes were sharp as lightning! The one in the lead had his hair and beard standing on end, and his official robes fluttered in the torchlight. It was none other than the Imperial Inspector Han!

He pointed his riding whip straight at the well opening, his eyes blazing with fury!

"Those who disobey orders will be killed without exception!"

"Yes, sir!" The elite constables behind him roared in unison, like tigers and wolves unleashed, and pounced on the well opening in an instant!

Everything happened in the blink of an eye!

The maniacal smile on Wang Bapi's face froze instantly, twisting into extreme terror.

His obese body seemed to have had its bones removed; he collapsed to the ground with a thud, and a wet patch quickly spread from his crotch, filling the air with the pungent smell of urine.

The foremen and thugs who were furiously pounding rammed earth bags into the last gap were stunned by the sudden, thunderous force, and the rammed earth bags slipped from their hands and fell to the ground.

"Take him down!" a constable shouted, his iron ruler whistling as it slammed into the wrist of a foreman who was still trying to resist. A sharp crack was followed by a shrill scream!

The other constables also instantly pinned the henchmen near the well to the ground, the cold iron chains rattling loudly!

Lord Han dismounted and rushed to the well with swift steps.

The massive stone gate had been mostly lowered, leaving only a narrow, twisted, dark gap less than a foot wide, filled with rammed earth bags and completely blocked!

He suddenly looked up, his piercing gaze sweeping across the chaotic mine, and roared, "The passage! Where is the way out?! Find it quickly!"

"Sir! Over here! There's movement over in the abandoned tunnel!" A sharp-eyed constable shouted, pointing to the dark entrance to the abandoned mine tunnel in the distance.

"Quick! Lead the way!" Without the slightest hesitation, Lord Han rushed off in that direction! Several constables immediately raised their blazing torches and led the way to light the way!
