"Come here, I have something to ask you." Wang Xiaohai said to Fang Boshan.
Fang Boshan walked over, confused.
"Why were you arrested? What mistake did you make?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"This..." Fang Boshan glanced at the prefect, hesitating, not knowing whether he should say it.
"If you have something to say, just say it!" The red-haired priest of Mi Country shouted loudly. He thought to himself that these people really know how to waste his time.
Fang Boshan shuddered and immediately said, "Yes, this is what happened. A few days ago, my runners and I were chasing a fugitive and caught him in the area of Yanwei Mountain. Not only did he kill and rob, he also enjoyed robbing tombs. Among the stolen goods, I found a rare jade. It's definitely not an ordinary item and must have belonged to the palace. I asked the tomb robber about it, and he said he dug it up in Yanwei Mountain. After I caught the fugitive, I locked him up in a cell in the county. Then I came to Qingyan Mansion to hand over the jade. It's not mine, so I can't take it."
Wang Xiaohai and the red-haired priest thought that this guy was really a nerd. He must have been handed over but was kept by the greedy prefect. They were also afraid that the county magistrate would tell others and then imprison him, and finally find a reason to exile or kill him.
When the red-haired priest heard about Swallowtail Mountain, he immediately had a bad premonition!
"I came here to see the prefect and handed over the jade. The prefect asked me how I got the jade. As soon as I finished speaking, the prefect's face changed drastically. He immediately had me arrested and put in a cell. Then he tortured me every day and asked me if I knew anything else." Fang Boshan finished speaking in one breath.
Wang Xiaohai walked up to the prefect and asked, "Why did you arrest Fang Boshan?"
"this……"
With a flash of sword light, Wang Xiaohai's red sword pointed directly at the prefect's throat. The prefect felt a chill on his neck. "From now on, if you don't answer every question I ask you within five seconds, you will never be able to answer again."
"Answer my question first. Five, four, three, two..."
"Because there is a secret in Yanwei Mountain!" the prefect blurted out.
"What secret?"
"There's a treasure hidden in Yanwei Mountain, a treasure buried by the royal family!" The prefect said without hesitation, "The governor told me that anyone who discovers this secret, no matter who it is, must be arrested immediately. That's why I arrested County Magistrate Fang."
So that's it, it's the royal treasure. Wang Xiaohai was a little disappointed and thought, "I can't take the palace's things openly, otherwise it would be no different from looting the national treasury in the past. I might as well go into every palace and search them thoroughly. If I really do that, the Lord of Baiyu Palace will definitely eat me alive! Although I'm not afraid of Baiyu Palace, Lin Yiyi and her family are afraid. They still have to live in Beixingzhou and cannot be offended. So I can only accept some black money from the offerings. Even if these guys who have made mistakes are robbed by me, they dare not say a word and report it to the palace, otherwise they will be the first to be punished. And then I just need to hand over the money collected from the offerings, and the most they can blame me for delaying the payment!"
The red-haired priest's face changed slightly, then casually returned to normal. In fact, his heart was bleeding. This Yanwei Mountain was nominally the royal family's treasure, but in reality it was his own private treasury! He never thought that an old lady kneeling in front of the palace could be implicated in his affairs!
"Fortunately, this inspector must have thought that this was the palace's money and it would be difficult to take it. Otherwise, when the law enforcement team came to collect taxes in a few years, I would just need to hint to the emperor and the law enforcement team, and he would be finished. This would be equivalent to blatantly stealing the palace's money!" The red-haired priest calmed down.
"Take me to see Yanwei Mountain." Wang Xiaohai still didn't give up, and walked to Fang Boshan and said.
"Sir, can I wait until I have settled my mother before taking you there?" Fang Boshan asked.
"Your filial piety is commendable. How long will it take?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"Not much, within an hour." Fang Boshan carefully watched Wang Xiaohai's face, fearing that he would be rejected if he said too much time. "I'll help my mother find an inn, give her some money for food and accommodation, and then I'll come over."
"Okay, go over there quickly. I have plenty of time anyway, so there's no rush."
Wang Xiaohai agreed and turned to the others and said, "You all can go and do what you need to do. Red Hair and Silver Hair will stay."
The red-haired and silver-haired men looked at each other.
"You won't reveal any clues, will you?" the silver-haired Wu Di asked the red-haired male worshiper.
The red-haired man shook his head quietly.
The three of them stood in front, with the ruins of the collapsed government office behind them.
"Hey, do you two know where to get the holy spring water?" Wang Xiaohai asked the red-haired and silver-haired boy.
"How would we know? Only the Palace Master knows. If you can see him, you can ask him." The red-haired man immediately shook his head.
"I don't know about other methods, but I do know there's a legendary method for synthesizing the Divine Spring," said the silver-haired Wu Di. "However, this method is a bit evil. It requires killing one hundred sub-gods, seizing their divine fire, and synthesizing the Divine Spring. This is something that awakened beings cannot achieve. Since the history of this continent began, no awakened being has ever been able to withstand three moves from a sub-god, let alone defeat him! They're truly on a different level!"
The red-haired and silver-haired beings were both awakened, and they certainly dreamed of becoming a demigod. A demigod had a lifespan of 100,000 years, and who wouldn't want that? But it was too difficult. The first condition was beyond their reach, and the second, no awakened being had ever been able to achieve since ancient times! No being below the demigod level could withstand three moves from a demigod!
Wang Xiaohai thought that there was no awakened person who could withstand my three moves!
"How long is the history of this continent?" Wang Xiaohai asked the two people, "Do you know?"
"Oh, I've seen historical scrolls in the library of Baiyu Palace. The history of Beixingzhou dates back tens of millions of years." said the silver-haired Wu Di.
"After obtaining the sacred spring, can ordinary people also use it?" Wang Xiaohai thought of his friends, both men and women.
"Of course not. An ordinary person's body can't withstand this tremendous life-transforming force. History books say that millions of years ago, an envoy from the upper echelons of the Baiyu Palace brought divine spring water to an awakened Extreme Master at the time. When the Extreme Master was flying back to the Baiyu Palace, the divine spring water fell from a hole in his pocket. An ordinary person picked it up, licked it out of curiosity, and immediately died! Even warriors in the Qingwu and Jinwu realms would explode and die if they accidentally drank it!" Wu Di said, "By the way, I'm used to saying Baiyu Palace. In fact, the palace was not called Baiyu Palace at the time, but Baishen Palace. Every sub-god would change the name to his own when he became the palace master."
"Thank you for your explanation. If I find that you have violated any regulations, I will turn a blind eye and let you go," said Wang Xiaohai.
Silver-haired Wu Di showed a happy expression, what he said was really worth it!
The red-haired man showed a look of regret. He thought he was too confused. Why didn't he speak up first? He knew a lot of things, but he didn't know if the inspector would return some money to him if he told them.
