The executioner raised his blade and brought it down again.
Xiao Mu's head was immediately chopped off!
Ye Ling had no intention of letting Xiao Que, who was already dead, go.
"Xiao Que deserves to die! Even in death, I will still cut off her head!"
The executioner immediately chopped off Xiao Que's head!
Right now.
Only Xiao Yan is left.
Xiao Yan trembled as he looked at the three heads on the ground.
"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!"
Ye Ling stared at him coldly.
"Spare me?"
Do you think I would give Xiao Mu's descendants a chance to live?
Xiao Yan immediately replied.
"Your Majesty! I... no, no, no, this servant!"
"This servant has something important to tell Your Majesty!"
"I only hope that Your Majesty will grant this servant a chance to live!"
Ye Ling frowned.
At times like these.
They all met an inevitable end.
Unless they come up with some crucial bargaining chip to break the deadlock!
otherwise.
Xiao Yan knew that the Emperor would definitely not be moved!
Since that's the case.
Let him speak first before making a decision.
Ye Ling gave Gao Yong a meaningful look.
Gao Yong immediately walked up to Xiao Yan.
"Just tell me what you have."
"But if you deceive the Emperor, your fate will be even worse than it is now!"
Xiao Yan immediately replied.
"Yes, sir! Yes, sir!"
Ye Ling frowned.
It is said that men from the grasslands have a heroic nature.
They were all fearless.
Moreover, Xiao Yan is Xiao Mu's son.
He should have been someone who wasn't afraid of death.
How come he now looks like a cowardly lackey who fears death!
hehe!
It seems so.
Xiao Mu's bloodline isn't anything special either!
After Xiao Yan whispered something in Gao Yong's ear.
Gao Yong's expression changed drastically.
He immediately walked up to Ye Ling.
whisper.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Yan just mentioned that there is a gold mine in the Great Xiongnu."
"It hasn't been found yet. Our ancestors from twenty years ago only left behind a treasure map."
"He's now willing to hand over the treasure map in exchange for his life."
Ye Ling frowned.
"Treasure maps are inherently illusory."
"Twenty years have passed, and no one has found it since."
"Perhaps this gold mine never existed in the first place."
"Using this trick to survive is just too unappealing."
Gao Yong immediately walked up to Xiao Yan.
"His Majesty believes that what you said is false."
"No! Your Majesty! It's true! This servant is not lying!"
"Your Majesty, you must believe me! The hidden item is on me!"
Ye Ling frowned.
Gao Yong immediately replied.
"Xiao Yan is also carrying a special murder case on his hands!"
"His Majesty now demands a thorough investigation into this case!"
"Don't kill him today!"
"The execution will be carried out after the truth of this case is revealed!"
The people did not question the fairness of Ye Ling's punishment.
They all supported the emperor.
Inside the Great Yuan Palace.
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Ye Ling frowned and asked Xiao Yan.
Where is the treasure map?
"It's tattooed on the servant's back!"
Xiao Yan was immediately pulled out.
Gao Yong knelt down and pulled off his clothes.
As expected.
There was a treasure map on Xiao Yan's back.
"emperor!"
Ye Ling walked over.
He glanced at Xiao Yan's back.
I was stunned.
His back was indeed covered with densely packed map patterns.
"When did this treasure map appear on your back?"
"When I was fifteen, my father ordered someone to secretly tattoo it on my body!"
"He said he probably wouldn't find this gold mine in his lifetime, so the task is entrusted to me!"
Ye Ling asked.
"How big is this gold mine?"
"This servant does not know either. This servant only heard the Emperor say that when our ancestor discovered this gold mine..."
"Judging by appearances, it's at least tens of millions of tons!"
"But due to the war at the time, our ancestors did not develop the gold mine in order to protect it. Instead, they chose to leave behind a treasure map and dig it out after the situation stabilized!"
"But later, my ancestor died in the war, and this gold mine was never found."
Tens of millions of tons!
This is a very large number.
The Yuan Dynasty currently has only three gold mines.
The total annual gold production is at most 10,000 tons.
But this gold mine has tens of millions of tons!
That's a thousand times larger!
With such a huge gold mine, why worry about the national treasury not having enough money?
The national treasury will definitely overflow!
By then, will we still have to worry about not having enough money to benefit the people?!
nature.
The treasure map was very tempting to Ye Ling!
but.
He was also worried that there might be a trap involved.
"Is this the only treasure map?" Ye Ling asked.
"yes."
Xiao Yan nodded.
"Aren't you afraid that after I make a copy of this treasure map, I'll have you killed?!"
"His Majesty is a man of his word and will surely do what he says!"
Ye Ling sneered.
"Do you think I'd believe such flattery?!"
"You know very well that I never show mercy to my enemies! Even if you hand over the treasure map, I will still kill you!"
"Therefore! You must be holding something back! If this is the only treasure map, the gold mine has already been found!"
"There's only one reason why it hasn't been found—it's not a complete treasure map!"
