Mo Qian opened the ledger and saw that it was filled with notes recording the amount of gold excavated each time!

The amount of gold transported out was also recorded!

The sheer number is staggering!

The earliest date recorded inside dates back five years!

After putting down the ledger, Mo Qian opened the envelope.

He took out the letter and started reading it!

After glancing through them once, a look of surprise flashed across Mo Qian's eyes. Then, she quickly opened the other envelopes!

After reading through all the letters, Mo Qian realized that the person behind them was indeed quite unusual!

It turns out that this Black Wind Stronghold is actually the power of the current prime minister!

That is, the biological father of the illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family who married that poor scholar in the previous life!

The gold transported periodically was also delivered to the Prime Minister's villa on the outskirts of the capital!

However, Mo Qian found some clues in the envelope!

What appears to be a villa of the Prime Minister's residence is actually the true owner of the Third Prince, Si Wentuo!

This gold mine was presented to the Third Prince Si Wentuo by the Prime Minister's residence!

As for the Third Prince Si Wentuo obtaining this gold, it was nothing more than to support his army!

After figuring this out, a glint of light flashed in Mo Qian's eyes!

I never expected that before even reaching the capital, I would get involved in the affairs of the Prime Minister's residence!

However, there's no use thinking about it now; we'll deal with it after we get to the capital!

Afterwards, Mo Qian put these letters along with the account books into her spatial storage.

They didn't even spare the gold and jewelry in the secret room, storing them all inside the space!

After packing up all the valuables in the secret room, Mo Qian walked out of the secret room!

After leaving the chief's room, they headed towards the rooms of the second and third chiefs!

After looting all their belongings, Mo Qian headed towards the back mountain!

After stepping into the back mountain area, Mo Qian saw two people guarding the outside of the mine!

Under the cover of darkness, Mo Qian slowly approached the two of them step by step!

Then, he picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it to the side!

A slight sound was made!

"Where did that sound come from!"

"What's going on?" The two men, who were on duty, exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the noise.

"Old Zhao, go take a look," one of them said, pointing to the other.

"Okay then." Old Zhao then walked over there alone. When he saw a rabbit in the grass, his expression immediately relaxed, and he called out to the other side,

"It's nothing, just a wild rabbit!"

"Okay, sure." The person at the mine entrance replied immediately upon hearing Old Zhao's voice. He also released the weapon he was holding!

Just as Lao Zhao was about to bend down and catch the rabbit, Mo Qian, who was hiding in the bushes, knocked Lao Zhao unconscious with a single blow!

Meanwhile, the bandits guarding the mine on the other side assumed that Zhao was secretly roasting and eating a rabbit when they saw that he hadn't returned yet!

Feeling a bit resentful, and seeing that it was already late at night and usually no one came around, I thought it would be fine to leave for a while!

So he walked towards Old Zhao's direction, a hint of displeasure on his face.

He muttered to himself,

"Old Zhao is such a bad brother! He secretly ate roasted rabbit without telling me! I'll teach him a lesson later!" His face was still showing a hint of anger.

As he spoke, his steps quickened!

Then, we arrived at a location close to Mo Qian!

Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, Mo Qian knocked him unconscious as well!

After dealing with the two, Mo Qian tied them up with rope, tore two strips of cloth from their bodies, and stuffed them directly into their mouths.

Then, they walked into the mine!

After walking for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a noise came from ahead!

"Hurry up, everyone! Once we've dug these out, we can rest today!"

"I'm talking to you! Hurry up!"

"Haven't you eaten yet?! Hurry up! If you're this slow, I'll beat you up!"

"Smack!"

That's the sound of a whip striking flesh!

...

Mo Qian leaned against the shadows at the corner and looked inside!

There were about twenty bandits holding leather whips, glaring menacingly at the people digging for gold!

Those people had blank expressions, but their hands remained unaffected!

Upon seeing this, Mo Qian immediately took out a sleeping powder from her spatial storage and threw it inside!

Then, not long after, there was no sound from inside!

After seeing everyone fall down, Mo Qian went straight inside!

Upon entering, you'll find yourself in a huge mine shaft!

At this moment, the bandits and the miners collapsed to the ground, unconscious!

Mo Qian arrived at the mining site, picked up a piece of gold, and asked Xiao Bai, who was in her spatial dimension, "..."

"Xiao Bai, can you detect the condition of this gold mine?"

"Master, this is a medium-sized gold mine. Extending a mile further in, there's an estimated 30,000 tons of gold!" Xiao Bai replied to Mo Qian, her voice filled with excitement!

"Okay, I understand," Mo Qian replied to Xiao Bai, a smile on her face and a hint of pleasure in her voice.

Afterwards, Mo Qian wandered around the mine and went into one of the two small caves she saw.

Inside are the tools used to make gold bars!

Some finished gold bricks were piled up on the ground nearby!

Mo Qian took the gold bricks and tools along with her!

In another cave, there were stacks of boxes, and inside the boxes were finished gold bricks!

When Mo Qian saw the gold bricks in these boxes, she knew that these were probably gold destined for the capital!
