But he didn't expect Yi Xiaomai and Gu Beijian to face him head-on.
Gu Beijian glanced at Yi Xiaomai and said, "Come on, top scholar in both civil and military studies, let me see how powerful you are."
Yi Xiaomai heard the teasing in his words and said with a smile, "Brother Gu, just wait and see!"
Yi Xiaomai wielded the sword with great force and struck Guan Jing in the face.
Guan Jing couldn't dodge in time and fell backwards.
Mo Ping'an swung a whip and said, "Not everyone can get through here!"
The whip hit Guan Jing's body and head, knocking off the mask he was wearing, revealing Guan Jing's face.
"Master Guan?!" Mo Ping'an exclaimed.
"Why is it you?" Yi Xiaomai was surprised.
Guan Jing took advantage of the two people's surprise and grabbed Yi Yami who was watching the show next to them.
"Don't come over, let me go, or she will die in my hands!" Guan Jing threatened.
Yi Yami was waiting at her leisure, a little speechless, and said to Guan Jing, "I say, you don't have any brains at all. If I didn't have some skills, would I still be standing here watching the show?"
Guan Jing sneered when he heard this, "What can you do to me?"
At this time, Yi Yami was strangled by Guan Jing's arm and could not move.
Yi Yami smiled and said, "Just wait and see."
Yi Yami took out a lighter from his sleeve, lit it quickly, and burned Guan Jing's arm.
Guan Jing was so scared that he let go immediately.
Yi Yami retreated quickly when she saw an opportunity. She might not be able to defeat the opponent, but she was confident that she could escape.
"You are so insidious and cunning!" Guan Jing glared at Yi Yami.
"Oh, compared to you, I am really a dwarf." Yi Yami replied lightly.
Gu Beijian breathed a sigh of relief after checking that she had no other wounds.
Yi Yami patted him gently to comfort him.
"Guan Jing, why don't you surrender!" Yi Xiaomai shouted and slashed at him with the sword.
Guan Jing dodged, and Yi Xiaomai turned around and kicked, knocking him down.
Several yamen runners quickly stepped forward and tied him up.
"Come on, Mr. Guan, explain to me this mine and why these people are here!" Yi Xiaomai was imposing. When those skinny people were rescued, they burst into tears and hugged each other and cried.
"Oh my God, I finally see the light of day again!"
"Mom, I'm still alive!"
"I want to go home! I want to go home!"
Many of the rescued people were very emotional, so Wu Yuantai sent people to comfort them.
Guan Jing looked at them like that and lowered his head. "I think it was a mistake. I didn't expect you could find such a remote place!"
"Tell the truth!" Yi Xiaomai shouted.
"This story all started when Mo Kang was looking for a mine." Guan Jing knew he was doomed, but thinking of his wife and children, he confessed. "I hope that after I tell you, Lord Yi will let my wife and children go. They are innocent..."
Yi Xiaomai glanced at Yi Yami, who nodded. Yi Xiaomai replied, "If you confess, I will report this to the Emperor and let him make the final decision."
"When Mo Kang was looking for mines, I accompanied him. But he didn't know that I could find mines here too. We discovered the mines together on the side he went to. Although Mo Kang is an upright and righteous person, he is a little too stubborn." Guan Jing seemed to be recalling and sighing.
"Tell me, how did my father die?" Mo Ping'an's eyes were filled with tears.
"It's just that I want to get him to help me hide it from the emperor. I don't want the emperor to know that there is such a big mine here. If our two families divide it equally, our descendants will have no worries about food and clothing." Mo Kang replied with a smile.
But there was more eeriness and horror in that laughter.
"My father didn't agree, so you killed him?" Mo Ping'an asked.
"There's nothing I can do. He disagreed and discovered my secret, so I had to get rid of him as soon as possible. I pretended that it was an attack by bandits, but in fact it was the gunpowder I ordered to blow up the entrance to Mo Kang. I trapped everyone else in another place in advance. Mo Kang was unlucky. He led others to escape, but the falling mountain ended his life. He deserved it!" Guan Jing looked at Mo Ping'an grimly at this time.
Mo Pingan was so angry that her face turned red. Yi Yami stopped her and said, "Don't be angry. Don't fall into his trap. I can keep him. He dares to be so bold. There must be a big fish behind him!"
"Is there anyone behind you? Tell me, and I will plead for you and the emperor to reduce your punishment." Yi Xiaomai asked.
Just as Guan Jing was about to speak, he saw an arrow shot out from somewhere and pierced Guan Jing's chest.
Guan Jing's eyes widened in disbelief.
Yi Xiaomai stepped forward quickly, and Gu Beijian quickly sent someone to arrest him.
Then I heard Guan Jing whisper "Hu, Feng..."
He died halfway through his words.
Guan Jing's lips turned purple, and black blood oozed from the wound pierced by the arrow.
"It's poisonous!" Yi Yami pulled Yi Xiaomai away.
Yi Xiaomai felt a little emotional.
Then someone was sent to guard the mine and the people were escorted home.
Yi Xiaomai went to raid Guan Jing's house.
I don’t know if they received the news in advance, but Zhang Xuemei and Guan Jing’s sons are missing.
Yi Xiaomai asked someone to search, but found that there were a large number of books in Guan Jing's room that were turned upside down, and there were unburned account books in the brazier.
The yamen runners came back to report that Zhang Xuemei had escaped with Guan Jing's son, but both of them had been shot by poisoned arrows and had died.
Yi Xiaomai's eyes were deep when she heard this.
Fortunately, they returned in time and the thieves did not take away any useful information.
After Yi Xiaomai and others collected and sorted the information, they reported it to the emperor.
