Jiang Huaiqing had been thinking more and more that something was wrong these past two days, and he even had a bold hypothesis. He couldn't eat well or sleep well, so he had to go to the mine again.

The official in charge of the mine, whose surname is Lu, has been here since the mine was discovered and mined. In a blink of an eye, nearly twenty years have passed.

Lu Zhan was holding a young woman in his arms, joking and talking nonsense to her, touching her waist, and occasionally drinking the wine that the woman put in her mouth. He didn't pay any attention to Jiang Huaiqing who was sitting across the table.

Jiang Huaiqing was not disgusted by Lu Zhan's personal style, but the fact that he showed no respect to him when he was talking about business was a blatant contempt for him and disrespect for Jiang.

After hearing Jiang Huaiqing's doubts, Lu Zhan burst out laughing. He patted the woman and asked her to stand up before saying, "Mr. Jiang, is this your first day as the magistrate of Qingchuan County? Prefect Xie is not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry? And the imperial envoy has come to Qingchuan County. Where is he? Where is he?"

Everything is calm at the mine, not even a strange ant has appeared nearby. Where is the imperial envoy?

Lu Zhan was extremely arrogant, looking at Jiang Huaiqing with annoyance: "If there is nothing else, don't go to the mine all the time, just put your heart in your stomach."

Imperial Envoy, the Emperor is still racking his brains over who to appoint as the Imperial Envoy!

Several factions wanted to arrange for people to come to Yuzhou Prefecture. The tax inspection was probably a cover-up, and the real purpose might be for the mine. But more than ten or twenty years had passed. How could it be that easy to check the accounts?

Lu Zhan didn't take the imperial envoy who might come seriously at all. After all, he had the final say on how much the mine produced. There was no problem in the account book, so he could check it as he pleased.

"But Lord Lu, several bandits who stole from the storehouse were abducted and silenced for no apparent reason. I am really... unable to sleep or eat."

Jiang Huaiqing was really scared. He always had a feeling that the head on his neck was not stable.

"Didn't you say the bandits had accomplices?"

Lu Zhan disagreed: "What other reason do you need for your accomplices to kill people and silence them?"

Jiang Huaiqing was suddenly speechless.

Jiang Huaiqing did not tell Lu Zhan the truth about hiring bandits to set fire, which led to Lu Zhan missing information and making wrong judgments.

"It's already dark, and the silver has been loaded onto your truck. Take it away quickly. Don't come here again without my notice."

Lu Zhan was already extremely impatient. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it, then stood up to look for the woman who had just left.

Jiang Huaiqing looked at his relaxed and happy back, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "Could it be that he is really entangled in trivial matters and scares himself?"

It better be this way!

After thinking about it, Jiang Huaiqing snorted coldly and left.

……

Jiang Hao and the other two hid behind the house and overheard most of the conversation between the two. When they saw Jiang Huaiqing leaving, Xu Xing immediately gestured to the two, meaning for them to follow Jiang Huaiqing.

"You don't want to go with Jiang Huaiqing?"

Xu Zhao asked with his eyes wide open.

otherwise?

Since the silver is being transported out, there must be a carriage. Let’s follow it and take a look.

More than a dozen boxes of silver filled four carriages. Jiang Huaiqing checked them one by one before walking to the front and getting on his carriage.

"There are people checking at the mine exit. If we want to take a carriage, we must leave the mine first."

Xu Xing had already figured out the situation from the mine to down the mountain. He also knew the several checkpoints along the way and whether the inspections were strict or not.

"In that case, let's go out first."

When Jiang Hao saw the silver in the carriage, it was already shining.
