As soon as the bandit leader finished speaking, the bandits immediately took action.
However, before they could leave the cave, Ye Xiaoxiao and others rushed in.
"Hello everyone, nice to meet you all."
The bandit leader was startled, "Who are you and how did you get in?"
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled as she looked at the people lying on the ground wailing.
"Didn't you lead us in? How could you forget so quickly?"
The second bandit looked at the bandit boss opposite him in disbelief.
"Brother, what's going on? Did you betray us?"
"No wonder I got diarrhea today after eating the wild fruits I usually eat. It turns out it was you who did it."
"Boss, is what they said true?"
Seeing this, several more people immediately jumped out to question the bandit leader.
"Is it true or not? He clearly smelled the incense just now and asked us to smell it too. He must have done it on purpose."
"Boss, we trusted you so much, yet you teamed up with outsiders to harm us."
After these people finished speaking, several others immediately came out to refute them.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The boss just told us to cover our noses."
"If the boss hadn't reminded us, we would have been drugged by now."
Hearing this, even the usually serious Shangguan Lingyun couldn't help laughing, and Ye Xiaoxiao was so amused that she couldn't even straighten her back.
When the bandit leader saw that everyone was blaming him, he immediately retorted.
"Stop spitting bloody words at me. When have I ever seen you before?"
After Ye Xiaoxiao stood up straight, she looked at the two bandit brothers with a sly smile on her face.
"We were behind you just now. Weren't we brought here by you?"
The bandit brothers were suddenly speechless, and Ye Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to ask.
"Don't worry, what you have are just the special drugs and laxatives I made."
"As long as you cooperate, I promise that I will not harm any of your lives."
The bandits were a little panicked when they heard this. At this time, a bandit with a normal mind finally stood up and spoke.
"Who are you and how do you know we are here?"
"Besides, why should we trust you?"
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the rare sober person opposite her.
"It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is whether you are willing to cooperate with us."
The man frowned, "You didn't even tell us what you were going to do, how can we cooperate with you?"
"Could it be that if you want to kill us brothers, we brothers will have to cooperate with you?"
Ye Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "I said, I don't want your lives."
"But you must tell us where the gold mine is."
"Also, where do you transport the gold you excavate from and to?"
When Ye Xiaoxiao mentioned the gold mine, a trace of nervousness flashed across the bandits' faces.
"What gold mine? We don't know what you're talking about."
Ye Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, then scolded coldly.
"Did you know that illegally mining a mine is punishable by death? Especially since you're mining gold."
"Don't think you can rest easy just because you have two backers in the capital."
"The court is now aware of the situation in Maoshan. Even His Majesty and His Majesty are on their way to Maoshan."
"Therefore, I advise you to tell the truth. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died."
The bandit leader held on to his body and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao and the others with a nervous expression.
"Who are you? This gold mine is not something you can get your hands on. I advise you to leave immediately."
Ye Xiaoxiao sneered, "To tell you the truth, I am an imperial envoy sent by the current emperor."
"I've heard that there are many bandits in your Maoshan Mountains, so His Majesty sent me to wipe you out."
"However, after I went up the mountain, I discovered that there is a gold mine on your Mao Mountain."
"If you can obediently hand over the gold mine, I can even speak well of you to His Majesty."
"Our queen is kind and good-hearted, and His Majesty is also benevolent and loves the people. Perhaps he will spare you because of your cooperation."
When the bandits heard this, they immediately looked at the bandit leader nervously.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaoxiao smiled and glanced at the people who were holding their stomachs and wailing.
"Everyone, I can see that you are actually simple villagers, not those heinous robbers."
"It must be that your superiors deliberately described you as bandits in order to prevent others from coveting the gold mine."
"Everyone, you think they are protecting you, but that's not the case."
"They are pushing you into a desperate situation."
"You guys work so hard mining in this mountain, but you can't even eat or drink well."
"But in the end, you didn't get a penny of the silver from these mines."
"But the news we received from the imperial court was that you were occupying the mountains and acting as kings, oppressing the people, and we are determined to strangle you to death."
"You said you didn't make any money, and your life could be lost at any time. What are you trying to achieve?"
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she glanced at the bandit whose eyes were a little relaxed and continued to persuade him.
"I still say that if you know what's happening, the imperial court will definitely not kill you all."
"But if you still refuse to change your ways, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, all the secret guards quickly surrounded the bandits.
The bandits became even more panicked and looked at the distressed bandit leader.
"Boss, whether to kill or surrender, just say the word, and the brothers will listen to you."
