Chapter 43 Changes
As Lu Shan said, there are not many things in the mine.
Zhou Jia's daily task is to walk around the mine with two assistants to confirm that there are no monsters, and it will be over.
The whole process took less than two hours.
The two deputies beside him said they were assisting, but they were actually following them.
As for the affairs of the mine, he has never had the opportunity to intervene. In Cao Guanshi's words, his status is 'noble', and he should not do this kind of dusty mining work.
Zhou Jia was so happy.
After patrolling every day, he found a free place to rest, silently practiced the three-element rectification method, and watched the progress on the experience bar increase slowly.
If it weren't for the feeling of being stared at with cold eyes from time to time, this kind of life would actually be pretty good.
Less work, more money, close to home.
Not at all false.
This situation until it is broken by a group of people.
...
Deacon Wei is obviously not a reckless person. After half a month, a group of well-dressed people appeared in the mine.
"Where is Cao Honglai?"
The man in front of him had a gloomy complexion, a long knife hanging from his waist, and a long gown embroidered with black textures, which was mysterious and chilling, and his cold gaze made people dare not look at each other.
He glanced at everyone in the mine, and said in a cold voice:
"Let him come out and meet me!"
This group of people are uniformly dressed and hang badges. Their identities are well-known in the Fish and Dragon Society, and everyone knows them.
"People in the punishment hall, what are they doing here?"
"Cao Guanshi committed a crime?"
"It won't involve us..."
As the Ichthyosaur Society, it specializes in dealing with people who violate internal rules. If the punishment hall does not leave, it will often bring a bloodbath.
For a while, everyone was silent.
Zhou Jia's eyes flickered, he didn't say a word, but he was curious like everyone else, as if he was guessing what the people from the punishment hall were doing here.
"Isn't this Mr. Cheng?" Lu Shan hurriedly approached, bowing his back with a flattering face:
"Why do you have time to come to this place?"
"There is a lot of dust in the mine, a few of you come into the house, I asked someone to pour tea..."
"No need." Cheng Shaowen waved his hands coldly:
"Under the order of the hall master, I brought Cao Hong, the manager of the mine, to the execution hall to inquire about something. Why, Cao Honglai is not here today?"
"As the supervisor of the mine, if you leave your post without authorization, it will be an extra crime."
"This..." Lu Shan turned pale.
"What's going on?" At this moment, Guanshi Cao, who had been resting in the room, finally noticed something unusual outside, and Shi Shiran pushed the door and walked out.
When he saw the group of people in the punishment hall, his expression also changed.
"Cao Honglai!" Seeing the person appearing, Cheng Shaowen narrowed his eyes, stepped closer, and at the same time pressed the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand:
"Someone reported that you swallowed black black jade, sold the mine privately, and used power for personal gain after taking office. Come with me back to the execution hall."
"Who said that?" Cao Guanshi's eyes were flustered, and he hurriedly shouted:
"There is absolutely no such thing, this is slander!"
While shouting angrily, he subconsciously looked at Zhou Jia.
Not only Cao Guanshi, but since the people from Xingtang appeared in the mine, many people secretly looked at Zhou Jia with different expressions.
Zhou Jia looked bewildered, as if he was completely ignorant.
This scene confuses others. If it is said who is the informer, Zhou Jia must be the most suspected person among the people present, but how long has he been in the mine?
Besides, I have been stared at by people all the time, and I don't even know how much I earn every day. How can I tell the truth?
"Whether it is true or not, we will talk about it in the punishment hall." Cheng Shaowen was expressionless:
"If you are really innocent, the hall master will never wrong a good person, but if it is true, then don't blame the guild rules for being ruthless!"
"Yes, yes." Guanshi Cao's eyes flashed, and he took a step back slightly:
"I'll pack my things."
"No need." Cheng Shaowen waved his hand, and a group of men immediately surrounded him:
"There is everything in the punishment hall, there is no need to clean it up. Guanshi Cao should go with me. The hall master is waiting for you."
"This..." Guanshi Cao gritted his teeth and said with an ugly face:
"I still have Hei Xuanyu to register in the account, and I need to report it to Deacon Lu and the second elder. If I leave suddenly, what should I do if someone tampers with the account?"
"Huh?" Cheng Shaowen frowned.
He is not afraid of Deacon Lu, but the Second Elder does need to be cautious.
"Brother Cheng, don't worry." Guanshi Cao bent down and cupped his hands again, begging in a low voice:
"There are not many things, it will be ready soon."
"Hurry up!" Cheng Shaowen looked worried, and waved:
"Go to two people and watch him."
"Yes!"
Immediately, one person stepped out from the left and right sides, and surrounded them with their swords tightly grasped.
Guanshi Cao opened his mouth, his face seemed a little displeased, but finally he nodded, straightened his clothes, turned around and entered the wooden house.
The door of the room was opened, and he entered the inner room, and the two people from the torture hall followed him.
After a while.
"Don't worry, both of you, it will be ready soon."
Guanshi Cao's voice came out, mixed with a low hum.
This voice made Cheng Shaowen frowned, turned his head slightly, and then his complexion suddenly changed, as if he had discovered something, he opened his mouth and roared:
"The one surnamed Cao!"
"you dare!"
While roaring, he was already pounced on the wooden house like a tiger, and he didn't know when the long knife at his waist was unsheathed, and the dazzling light of the knife cut through the wall of the house.
"Boom..."
The iron wood used to build the wooden house was vulnerable to the light of the knife, and it exploded in an instant, and a figure inside flew back amidst the flying sawdust.
It's Cao Guanshi!
And the two law enforcement officers of the torture hall have fallen to the ground, their foreheads sunken, and they have no breath. The dead can't die anymore.
He even secretly solved the person who was watching him, trying to escape secretly!
"Crash!"
In an instant, the people from the punishment hall roared angrily and rushed towards Guanshi Cao.
Cheng Shao walked with the knife with his body tattooed, but there was no figure in the light of the knife. He chased after the figure in front of him, rushed out more than a few feet in one breath, and fought more than ten moves.
but…
"Six products!"
Cheng Shaowen glared at Guanshi Cao angrily, his eyes wide open, with a hint of disbelief:
"You are actually a sixth grade!"
The mine here is just a place to raise idlers, Yulonghui has never cared much about it, and the supervisor even went through the back door of the second elder, and it is clearly written as a fifth-rank in the file.
Six grades, enough to go to a better place!
The person surnamed Cao not only did not leave, but also concealed his true strength, it must be because he can get more benefits here.
"Not bad." Guanshi Cao snorted coldly, turning into a black shadow and retreating violently:
"Brother Cheng, farewell!"
"Want to leave?" Cheng Shaowen snorted coldly, chasing after him:
"Leave it to me!"
He is also a sixth-grade cutting marrow, and as the adopted son of the head of the punishment hall, he has a better inheritance and stronger strength than Cao Guanshi.
The two rushed into the dense forest one after the other, leaving behind a group of people who were at a loss.
"what happened?"
"Cao Guanshi turned out to be a sixth rank?"
"Even dare to kill people in the criminal hall, it seems that Guanshi Cao must not be clean."
"Bullshit!"
Zhou Jia was also secretly startled, and even more fortunate:
'Fortunately, fortunately, I have been honest enough during this time to not attract the attention of the surname Cao, otherwise I will 'disappear' on the road someday. '
It is true that he has a hole card, but looking at the actions of Cao Guanshi and Cheng Shaowen just now, it is probably not their opponent to provoke violence.
but…
Cao's surname wants to swallow up the mine secretly, and he alone will definitely not be able to do it.
Thoughts turned, Zhou Jia looked at the crowd.
In the crowd, there really were a few people with different expressions. Seeing his gaze, they turned around sharply and ran towards the dense forest.
"What are you going to do?"
Lu Shan roared when he saw this:
"Stop 'em!"
