Chapter 196 "Father-in-law, I already know the location of the gold mine."
The steward took a look and immediately stepped forward to stop him: "Sir! Sir, this is bad, the city lord's carriage is already outside the mansion."
Hearing this, Jiang Dao was overjoyed: "You've come just in time! Go and welcome my father-in-law."
As the saying goes, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive at the wrong time.
He has already found out the whereabouts of the gold mine and is waiting to tell the city lord.
So after the city lord arrived, Jiang Dao couldn't wait to welcome him in person, without much preparation, and told him directly.
"Father-in-law, I already know the location of the gold mine."
The city lord's eyes darkened a little: "Do you really know?"
Seeing that he seemed to be in disbelief, Jiang Dao immediately invited him into the house, took out pen and ink, and drew the specific location.
He took it to the city lord to review as if to claim credit for something, "It's definitely not fake."
"Father-in-law, this gold mine is still being mined illegally. That person is so audacious! He has no respect for the law! You should know that Longchang Mountain is within the territory of Dajing."
"As the city lord, you must have plenty of ways to take the gold mine back from that villain. Then we can even discuss it with the prince..."
Before he could finish, the city lord had already placed the paper he had drawn on the candlestick. The flames leaped up and turned to ashes in an instant: "You know quite a lot."
Jiang Dao was a little stunned, and smiled awkwardly, "This is all for my father-in-law, so naturally I have to do my best."
The city lord had his hands behind his back, his gaze as cold as the coldest wind, sweeping across.
"Dao'er, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing."
Jiang Dao was still confused when he finished speaking. Suddenly, several strong men rushed in from outside the room and took him down without hesitation!
Jiang Dao was shocked: "Father-in-law! Father-in-law! What are you doing? Didn't I tell you the location of the gold mine? Isn't this thing much more valuable than those fine porcelains?"
"Your Majesty will definitely..."
"I told you, you know too much."
Jiang Dao struggled hard, and at this moment, he suddenly realized what was happening.
"Father-in-law! You...you already knew where the gold mine is? Or...or..." Jiang Dao suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked over in disbelief.
At this moment, he probably guessed that his good father-in-law might be the man behind the gold mine! !
If I knew the location, wouldn't I be killed to silence me?
Jiang Dao reacted suddenly and said hurriedly: "Father-in-law, even if I knew, you and I are family, I will definitely not tell anyone. Father-in-law, please spare my life!"
The city lord remained unmoved and instead gave a look to the burly man beside him.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Jiang Dao spoke angrily in desperation!
"Father-in-law! Your daughter is still in my hands, and she has committed adultery with someone else. She has no shame! This is your dearest daughter!"
When this matter was mentioned, the city lord's face suddenly changed. He swung a fist at him, took down the candlestick and set his hair on fire!
As the raging fire rose, intense and piercing pain came crashing down, and Jiang Dao let out a shrill scream.
But his limbs were clamped, leaving him no room to struggle.
Facing the strong smell of burning, the city lord picked up the knife and cut off his tongue!
Blood was splattered everywhere and the scene was horrific. However, outside the mansion at this moment, countless people blocked the alley.
Seeing this, the servants in the mansion turned pale with fear, not knowing what to do. They shouted into the house at the top of their lungs, "Master, Lord City Lord! It's bad, it's bad!"
The city lord held the blood-stained dagger in his hand, his eyes drooping with impatience.
Before he could even ask, the door to the mansion was smashed down by countless people outside! Those ragged people swarmed in and rushed into the mansion from outside.
They are ready to die, just like a deadly mountain torrent, rolling in with great momentum!
"City Lord! Go!"
Before the city lord could react, the guards around him pushed him towards the remote backyard.
No one could stop those people who rushed in, and soon they occupied the entire Tuji Mansion.
But they did not loot or destroy anything, instead they only went after the city lord!
If the city lord is not found, his son-in-law Jiang Dao will be like a lamb to be slaughtered.
He had already fallen to the ground in pain, and seeing this, he ignored the pain and tried to run away, but he had no strength to fight so many people.
He was dragged by the hair, punched and kicked by the crowd, and vomited blood all over the floor. He was tortured to the point that he couldn't even speak.
In a trance, he saw Ruan Mian in the crowd. He stared at her with his eyes wide open in disbelief, his mouth opening and closing, but no words came out.
Ruan Mian guessed what he was going to say, squatted down, and said only one sentence.
"To be more specific, I should also call you cousin."
The sneer in her eyes was as cruel as a knife.
This made Jiang Dao spit out his last mouthful of blood. It turned out that she was... Ruan Mian.
"The Jiang family has been destroyed, and my aunt's revenge has been achieved. You, an unfilial son, should also be reborn as an animal, suffering the pain of being humiliated and trampled upon for generations to come."
His veins were bulging and his vision was blurred by blood.
Ruan Mian saw small butterflies circling above his head and followed their direction to a remote courtyard.
She had looked at the topographic map and it was obvious that the city lord wanted to slip away through the alley.
Ruan Mian touched the jade bracelet, summoned the big white tiger, and flew over the eaves and walls, standing directly in front of the city lord and the guards.
The white tiger descended from the sky with such overwhelming force that it frightened the two men to the point of paralyzing them on the ground.
The guard didn't care about the city lord at this time. He got up and ran to the back in a panic.
The city lord wanted to pull him, but his feet were disobedient and he couldn't move at all!
In the end, he could only look at Ruan Mian and the beast with a pale face.
He had never seen a woman who could ride a wild beast as a mount...
He spoke in a trembling voice, "Miss... please spare me... please spare me, lady!"
He kowtowed once and stood up again, but saw that the beast had disappeared, leaving only Ruan Mian standing in front of him.
The city lord thought he was hallucinating and felt that the woman in front of him was no ordinary person. He begged for mercy with a terrified face.
Ruan Mian said calmly and coldly, "I don't care about your life, but you must remove the slaves you captured from the gold mine and restore them to normal civilian life."
The city lord nodded without hesitation and agreed with a pale face.
"Okay, okay, it's a small matter, it's all a small matter!! But those slave registration documents are in the City Lord's Mansion, if..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a gust of strong wind sweeping past, and almost in an instant, he was sitting on the back of the big white tiger. He was so scared that he fainted.
This is useless stuff!!
Ruan Mian walked from the back mountain and soon arrived at the city lord's mansion.
He jumped onto the roof and threw him into the yard, then poured a basin of cold water on him to make him completely sober.
When the city lord saw that he was already in his own mansion, he didn't dare to think too much. He ran to the study trembling and asked someone to bring all the slave registration documents.
