Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Several leaders of Wumen and the captain of Jing’s army met up with Gu Xu.

"Count the personnel," said Gu Xu. "Gather all the injured for treatment, and register the names of all the miners. If there are any guards and foremen who have turned over a new leaf, let them lead the way and count the mine tunnels."

He asked Wu Yan, who was wearing a miner's rough clothes and blood on his body, "Did you bring out the account books and other documents?"

"Bring it out." Wu Yan nodded. A Wumen secret guard beside him held a bundle and handed it over.

Gu Xu took the pile of documents, lowered his eyes and flipped through a few of them to confirm the contents.

"You did a great job." Gu Xu said, "You don't have to take them back to Ganzhou. Just interrogate them here. Any information must be recorded, not a single word can be left out."

"Yes!" Wu Huo was responsible for receiving the prisoners, and he winked at Wu Yan.

Wu Yan did not leave, but looked at Gu Xu.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xu asked.

"Master, some miners want to identify the bodies in the mine. Should we bury them all?"

"...Yes, if the terrain is steep, don't force it, you can take it step by step." Gu Xu said.

Wu Yan nodded, then turned and left.

The leader of the Jing army was Jing's in-laws, a man named Jing Yuanshou.

Gu Xu said to him, "Those silver carriages have been under surveillance and tracking. When we get to the place, we will arrest Yin Shun and bring him to justice. The prince will then be needed to take over this matter."

"No problem." Jing Yuanshou said with a smile, "I originally felt a little wronged that I couldn't follow His Highness to the battlefield, but now it seems that this is a big deal."

Gu Xu said: "Thank you for your hard work."

Jing Yuanshou said: "It's not hard. I will report this matter truthfully. You and your men..."

Gu Xu said, "I don't know what the situation is like with the Crown Prince. It seems that Xidi is determined to make a desperate move this time."

Jing Yuanshou was very tactful and stopped trying to ask questions. Instead, he followed Gu Xu's words and said, "Once things are over here, our team will go to Wuzhou to support the prince. Do you want to come with us?"

Gu Xu looked towards the direction of Ganzhou.

After a long while he finally answered, "Of course."

……

More than a dozen silver carriages sped along the mountain road, not even bothering to conceal their tracks in order to reach their destination quickly.

Wu Feng and the Fengtang team followed quietly. The convoy traveled between the hills for an hour and stopped in the middle of a mountain crevice.

Wu Feng noticed that they were heading towards Ganzhou City, and behind this mountain was the city wall of Ganzhou.

The leading black-clad man got off the carriage and walked to the front of the mountain crack. He waved his hand, and several guards followed his orders and walked forward, surrounding the mountain crack and doing something unknown. After a while, the seemingly unshakable stone wall on the left side of the mountain crack moved to the left, revealing a passage that was only wide enough for one car to enter.

Wu Feng suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the carriages in this mine were several inches narrower than ordinary vehicles. It turned out that this was to facilitate passing through here.

The silver carriages entered the crevice one after another, and the guards who entered later struggled to move the stone wall back to its original position, leaving only a narrow gap about a foot wide.

Wu Feng waited for a few moments before going forward to check. The gap was difficult to enter, and it was pitch black inside and he couldn't see clearly what was going on. He looked up and saw that there was a slightly wider part of the mountain that connected the upper and lower peaks, which seemed to be able to accommodate people passing through.

He climbed up the plants on the mountain wall and reached the crevice.

We can pass! Wu Feng looked into the crevice of the mountain cautiously, then waved to his subordinates.

The Fengtang secret guards followed Wu Feng into the mountain crevice, with Wu Fei staying behind and being the last one to squeeze in.

The group landed silently.

Wu Feng leaned against the mountain wall for a while, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the dim light and see the scene clearly.

The section near the exit is an ordinary mountain cave, and going inside is a man-made secret passage. This passage is square and regular, with stone bricks on the ground and traces of mud ruts.

"Let's go." Wu Feng said.

A group of people walked silently along the secret passage.

After walking about twenty meters forward, the corridor turned left and a smell of blood came from behind the bend.

Wu Feng's face changed slightly. He sneaked along the wall and looked towards the bend.

There were only corpses everywhere, not a single living person.

Wu Fei followed and was also a little surprised when he saw this scene: "They are all guards driving the carriage. Are they all killed like this?"

There were more than a dozen corpses in front of him. Wu Feng looked at them one by one. There were not many signs of resistance. It seemed that they were killed suddenly without being noticed.

"I'm afraid they have sent their own people to take over the silver carriage. See if there are the bodies of Meng Jincheng and the steward." Wu Feng frowned and looked through it carefully.

I'm afraid the master will be short of a few witnesses.

Sure enough, Meng Jincheng and the steward were killed, their throats cut with a knife, and their bodies were still warm.

Wu Feng sighed.

"Keep chasing," he said.

……

There was no fork in the road in this secret passage. After turning a few corners, it arrived at a basement hall.

The hall was full of silver carts, not just those just brought in from the mine. Wu Feng saw that there were no guards around, so he went forward to check.

Those cars contained not only silver, but also gold mined from the mines.

"It seems that the gold ore in the inn has also been transported here." Wu Feng said to himself. He and Wu Fei had previously monitored the inn contact point in Pinghu Town, hoping to find out the location of the base by taking advantage of the opportunity of them transporting gold ore, but they did not get anything. This time, both gold and silver were found.

"He really has his cake and eat it too." Wu Fei said, "If the master hadn't discovered the clues, this Yin Shun hiding behind the scenes would have been impossible to find."

Wu Feng glanced at him and said, "This was not discovered by the master."

"Ah? Who is it?"

"Boss Gu is the master's...father. He is very smart." Wu Feng pondered over these words and felt very strange.

Wu Fei's face was full of disbelief.

Wu Feng didn't have time to explain things to him, so he waved his hand and took everyone in Fengtang to continue the investigation.

I saw that this underground hall branched into two paths, and including the corridor we came from, there were three entrances in total.

"I don't know where they went." Wu Fei said.

"If it were Boss Gu, he would definitely be able to tell at a glance." Wu Feng said. He imitated Gu Yue and looked at the ground, observing carefully.

This tunnel looks quite old, and it was not dug in a short time. There is fine fresh soil on the right fork, and the stone bricks on the ground are flat and rough. The left fork has a layer of mud embedded in the uneven stone bricks.

Wu Fei looked carefully and pointed to the fork in the road on the right: "Those people must have gone this way."

"Why?" Wu Feng asked.

"Look, this road isn't badly worn, and there's dirt and a little bit of blood on it, probably from the soles of their shoes." Wu Fei said, "The road on the left is badly worn, and there are wheel tracks, so I guess it's not often used by cars, and there aren't many signs of people walking on it."

"They left the car here, so they must have left from here." Wu Fei said with disdain: "Can you call this level of inference smart?"
