The four people kneeling in front of Xing Dong had the same face, the same desperate and pitiful expression, and even the angle of their kneeling and bending was the same.
Xing Dong became even angrier when he saw these four disappointing people.
"Eighteen people can't even protect such a small thing. What's going on?"
Xing Dong's anger was evident in his eyes, which were filled with cruelty. He had never been a good person. These four people had done such a bad job, how could he let them off so easily?
"Master, spare our lives. It's not our fault."
These four people begged for mercy at the same time. No matter what the truth of the matter was, now the four of them were grasshoppers on the same rope and they had to give a unified confession.
Fortunately, they had already agreed on the tone on the way here.
"It's the government. They found our hiding place. They poisoned our food to make us drunk. They also started the fire. Master, the most urgent thing now is to protect those weapons. Otherwise, the government will keep a close eye on us."
Xing Dong didn't believe such words at all. You know, the Xing family mansion where they were was so secretive, and before this, the officials had not found any clues about the Xing family mansion.
Xing Dong expressed doubts about the ability of those officials to act. After all, they had been doing this business for a long time, but the officials had never found any clues about them.
Now, as if with divine help, we have quickly broken into their lair. Isn't this growth a little too fast?
Of course, even if the officials discovered their whereabouts at that time, it would be impossible for them to rob their hideout in just a few days.
In other words, Xing Dongning would like to believe that in this incident, not only were the officials meddling in more important matters, but these people also failed to do their job properly.
However, as these people said, he can't deal with them at all now.
A big part of the reason why they have been able to stay safe in this organization over the years is because someone took the lead for them.
Therefore, although these four people in front of him were incompetent and made him very anxious, now was definitely not the time to sentence them to death.
Xing Dong spoke in a deep voice, his deep eyes staring at the four people, his face still expressionless, but his scarred face was scary enough, and this cold expression was like putting people in an icy cave.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, of course
The four of them nodded repeatedly, showing a flattering attitude.
"Okay, I'll believe you this time."
The sinister eyes moved across the four people, making them break out in cold sweats, but they did not dare to move. They just lowered their heads and obeyed Xing Dong.
They were afraid that if they were not careful, their master would take their lives.
"I will personally investigate this matter. You should keep an eye on the government these days. Report any actions they take to me immediately. That will be your reward for atonement."
After receiving pardon from their master, the four people nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would see to it.
He took a long breath, wiped off the cold sweat, and lied to his master, but it was like a circle around the gates of hell.
Fortunately, they still have a chance to survive.
They had a narrow escape this time. If they hadn't handled the matter properly, their fate would not have been as simple as death.
Xing Dong looked at the four people running fast, his eyes were cold.
He called his confidant and asked, "Go check and see what's going on in the Xing family's old house."
Xing Dong didn't trust these four people at all. This time, the four must have hidden something from him. He was going to investigate the matter of the Xing family's old house. He wanted to see whether the government officials had improved their abilities or whether these four were so bold as to dare to disobey him in secret.
At this time, the Xing family's old house had already been looted by Long Moxun.
To be honest, they were just unlucky. They could have run into anyone else but the iron-faced and selfless Lord Jing. When Lord Jing started the investigation, he would not give them any chance.
Of course, if Lord Prince Jing left something for them, it must not be because Lord Prince Jing is kind-hearted, but because Lord Prince Jing has other plans.
To receive things from Lord Prince Jing, even if they are unwanted, you need to exchange them with your life.
"Master, there is a group of people at the door, secretly investigating the fire in the Xing family's old house."
Hearing the report from the secret guards, a hint of almost inaudible mockery finally emerged on Long Moxun's indifferent face. The mysterious organization behind the scenes was indeed most concerned about this batch of weapons. They finally lured them out. Although it took some effort, the result was still good.
It would be fine if the poisonous snake didn't move out. As soon as it moved out, they would be able to find clues and kill it here.
"Give orders to not move the weapons inside for the time being, and to collect all the weapons outside."
The interior layout of this cave is actually divided into two parts. The outside is filled with short weapons, which are also the weapons we use more commonly in daily life. Inside, another layer of mechanism is used to place long weapons, which are used for fighting on the battlefield.
And those people obviously just used this batch of short weapons as bait. At the critical moment, they must have wanted to keep the batch of long weapons.
So, Long Moxun gave them such an opportunity.
He just thought, not knowing what was hidden in the cave.
With his eyes rolling, Long Moxun asked the secret guard again: "Fang Jingyu, can you clean up all the traces of his actions?"
The secret guard had been monitoring Fang Jinyu's movements, so he naturally knew that the incident of them breaking into the Xing family's old house would not be reported to the government. If there was any investigation, it would only be on the people within the organization.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. All traces of Lord Fang's joining have been cleared away."
Thinking of Fang Jinyu, a hint of amusement flashed across Long Moxun's deep eyes. Fang Jinyu, he wanted to steal the credit from him, but he was still a little short of the mark.
"How is Fang Jingyu now?"
When asking this question, Long Moxun felt that he was becoming more and more shameless, because he knew very well Fang Jinyu's current situation. She was trapped in the mountain with a formation and could not get out in a short time.
The secret guard raised his eyelids. Everyone knew Fang Jinyu's predicament, but since the prince wanted to ask, he naturally had to make Fang Jinyu sound as miserable as possible.
"He is still trapped. I heard that the people who entered the mountain before have not returned yet. No one has seen them alive or dead. I don't know how Master Fang is doing now."
Long Moxun finally smiled unkindly, and then frowned again, thinking that as a prince, he should not use his lofty consciousness to slander such a small matter.
With a cold and unfathomable look, Long Moxun said: "Fang Jinyu, he is a lucky man, it won't be that easy for him to die."
An Wei curled his lips and silently despised his own prince in his heart. Prince, do you really hope that Lord Fang will have a good life? It was not you who calculated Lord Fang.
Well, although my prince is usually a bit evil, sometimes you can still see his kind nature. You can't think of him like that.
Dark Guard hypnotized himself in his heart that he couldn't think of his parents who provided him with food and clothing like that.
"Give some information to those who are trying to find out about the situation outside, and tell them that I will be the one investigating this case from now on, and ask them to be careful."
"yes."
The secret guard responded and shuddered. He silently lit a row of candles for the mysterious organization.
If you mess with Lord Prince Jing, you'll just have to wish for the best.
