Half an hour after the laborers left, a group of constables arrived from afar and headed straight for Black Wind Mountain...
It turns out that before the wedding banquet, Mo Qian had instructed Xiao Bai to put poison in a well on Black Wind Mountain!
Just to be on the safe side, I also added it to the dishes and drinks!
After administering the medicine, Xiaobai went down the mountain and headed to the county town closest to Black Wind Mountain. After entering the county town, he went straight to the government office!
While invisible, Xiao Bai placed a pre-written letter on the magistrate's desk!
Only after seeing which letter the magistrate had read did he leave!
Mo Qian wasn't worried that the magistrate wouldn't come!
After all, Black Wind Stronghold has tens of thousands of people. If they had the chance to take down this entire bandit den, the county magistrate would be promoted in no time!
So after calculating the time, Mo Qian left the mess to the county magistrate after she had taken care of everything!
As for whether the bandits would expose the gold mine, Mo Qian said that with all that collapsed ruins, no one would even suspect that it was caused by human intervention!
They would simply assume it was caused by an earthworm turning over!
Even if the magistrate believed that the lack of gold mines would only make him more furious with these bandits!
One day later,
Mo Qian was driving a carriage along the road when she suddenly heard a noise inside the carriage, so she commanded the horse to stop.
"Where...where am I? How did I end up in a train carriage?"
"Young Master! Where did the Young Master go?"
"Wasn't it in the Black Wind Stronghold dungeon? How did it get here?"
...
The three people who woke up one after another in the carriage were still a little dizzy. When they saw that they were in the carriage, they were all shocked.
The two servants who were slightly more alert immediately became wary and tried to stand up, lift the curtain, and go out!
Before they could even make a move, Mo Qian stepped forward, lifting the carriage curtain from the outside and entering the carriage!
"Young Master!" Mo Yu exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the young master.
"Young master, how did we end up in the carriage?" one of the servants asked, his face full of confusion.
“Yes! My memory is still stuck in the Black Wind Stronghold dungeon, and when I opened my eyes I was lying in a carriage! It’s unbelievable!” another servant added.
"Young Master?" Mo Yu was also confused after hearing what the other two said, and looked at Mo Qian with a bewildered expression.
"A group of constables came to Black Wind Mountain to suppress bandits! They took the opportunity to rescue us!"
"When I found you, you were already unconscious. I had to give the constables some silver to get you down from the mountain!"
"After that, they got a carriage, just in case any Black Wind Stronghold members escaped and weren't wiped out by the yamen runners, so they could retaliate against us!"
"I'll take you away first!" Mo Qian said casually, making up a story as she looked at the three people in front of her.
"How lucky we were! We arrived just in time for the constables to suppress the bandits! Otherwise, it would have been really difficult for us to escape!" Mo Yu said immediately after hearing Mo Qian's explanation, with a hint of relief on her face.
"Yes, young master, this time it really is quite dangerous!"
"Luckily, we escaped danger this time, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it to the master!"
The other two also chimed in.
“Yes, we were really lucky this time!” Mo Qian then said.
Then, in front of the three of them, Mo Qian placed her hand on her left cheek, found the joint, and tore it down forcefully!
Then, a mask as thin as a cicada's wing was torn off Mo Qian's face!
The other three exchanged glances after seeing Mo Qian tear off the human skin mask from her face.
Then, they all put their hands on the sides of their faces and pulled hard, tearing off the human skin masks from their faces as well!
"This time, since we've appeared at Black Wind Stronghold, there's no doubt that some will slip through our net and recognize us later. So, from now on, don't show those human skin masks on your hands again!"
"Never mention our appearance at Black Wind Stronghold again! It could lead to our deaths!" Mo Qian said to the three people in front of her after tearing off the human skin mask, her face serious.
"Yes, young master!" the three replied in unison, their faces equally serious.
Then, Mo Qian put away the human skin masks they were holding.
It turns out that before leaving Qinghe County, Mo Qian had given the human skin mask to the other three people!
Because of the long journey and in case of an accident on the way, Mo Qian suddenly remembered the human skin mask she had made before!
It turns out that three years ago, a master thief with a thousand hands appeared in Qinghe County, who specifically targeted wealthy families!
When they broke into the Mo residence, they learned that Master Mo only had one son, Mo Qian, whom he doted on!
He then assumed that the items in Mo Qian's room were more valuable!
So one night, he came to Mo Qian's room intending to steal!
Of course, in the end, not only did he fail, but he was also caught by Mo Qian!
When Mo Qian dislocated his hand, she didn't notice any change in his facial expression. She thought she had been too gentle, so she used her hand to control the force and punched him!
Even though he was in so much pain that his body was bent over halfway, his face remained completely still!
Mo Qian immediately realized that something was wrong!
Then, on the thief's face, traces of skin adhesion were found!
Then, it tore!
A human skin mask was torn off the master thief's face!
Upon seeing the human skin mask, Mo Qian was no longer puzzled as to why she hadn't received any clues about the Thousand-Handed Thief for so long! It turned out he had concealed his true identity!
After finding the manual on making human skin masks on the master thief, Mo Qian erased the master thief's memory of ever visiting the Mo residence!
Then, they threw him into the government office!
The master thief also carried some items he had previously stolen from other households, as well as some things that could identify him!
He can be convicted!
After obtaining the secret manual for making human skin masks, Mo Qian secretly put it into practice!
Because the human skin mask made by that master thief was too crude, it was easily detected!
Mo Qian then made some improvements based on this!
The improved human skin mask can express facial changes!
The adhesion points have also been meticulously treated! No one will be able to tell the difference!
Therefore, apart from the person in question, no one else who knew beforehand would notice anything unusual!
"Young Master, thank goodness for this human skin mask, otherwise we would have been in danger if we were recognized!" Mo Yu said to Mo Qian after seeing Mo Qian put away the human skin mask, with a look of relief on his face.
"Yes, young master was indeed farsighted!"
"Young Master, as expected of a scholar, you are indeed smarter than us!" the other two added, their faces filled with admiration for Mo Qian.
Mo Qian could only smile helplessly at this.
Then, two servants sat outside, set up the carriage, and headed towards the location of the provincial examination...
