Outside the carriage, everyone was still immersed in their own thoughts, but the sudden change caught them off guard, leaving them in a state of panic. Some screamed and fled, while others stood there in a state of confusion.

At this moment, the door of the carriage seemed to be pushed open by an invisible big hand, making a loud bang.

Immediately afterwards, Xueyao, Xiaoying, Xiaolin'er and the bird appeared in front of the carriage like ghosts.

Qin Ming was stunned at first, then he shouted angrily: "Who are you? How dare you attack my carriage?"

However, in the face of Qin Ming's roar, Xue Yao turned a deaf ear to him. She just stared at Qin Ming coldly, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

After a moment, Xue Yao slowly spoke, her tone so calm it made one's heart tremble: "Qin Ming, your evil deeds have long been exposed to the world. Today is the day you will be brought to justice."

After saying that, she waved her hand gently.

Almost at the same time, with a whoosh sound, Xiao Lin'er instantly pulled out a rope, which quickly wrapped around Qin Ming's body like a snake. In the blink of an eye, Qin Ming was tied up tightly, like a rice dumpling.

Qin Ming's face suddenly changed. He secretly groaned in his heart, knowing that he might have met a powerful character this time.

At this moment, he just remembered to summon his guards to come and rescue him, but he was shocked to find that his whole body was stiff and he could not move at all.

"You...what exactly do you want to do?" Qin Ming looked at Xue Yao with horror on his face, his voice trembling.

Xue Yao didn't say anything. She just waved her sleeves lightly and ice-blue mist spread out immediately.

Qin Ming stared at the scene in disbelief with his eyes wide open, muttering to himself, "No... don't kill me..."

Xue Yao stared at the person in front of her with a cold look, her eyes expressionless.

The woman in the carriage was already trembling with fear from Xueyao's shocking tactics. She couldn't understand how her master had provoked such a terrifying person.

Xue Yao had no time to care about all this. She just waved her sleeves lightly, and instantly sucked in all the people present and the carriage.

Then, Xueyao's figure flashed, and she flew like a ghost towards the distant manor. Xiaoying and Xiaolin'er followed closely behind. In the blink of an eye, the two and the bird disappeared into the dense forest like a gust of wind.

At the same time, Bai Yichen led Xue Yu and others, quietly approached the manor, and slipped in without anyone noticing.

After entering the manor, everyone discovered that it was a magnificent paradise. The pavilions and towers in the garden complemented each other in a staggered arrangement, and the various flowers in the garden were even more colorful and fragrant.

It’s a pity that everyone is concerned about the mine and the safety of the villagers, and has no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery in the garden.

At this moment, the entire manor was completely under Bai Yichen's control, and all the guards and servants were imprisoned by him.

Bai Yichen divided the group into two groups: one group, led by himself, headed straight for the study to search, while the other group, led by Xue Yu, headed straight for the storeroom.

They shuttled between the corridors and courtyards, hoping to find conclusive evidence of Qin Ming's crime.

The study was filled with a quiet atmosphere, and time seemed to have stopped.

Bai Yichen led everyone to carefully search every corner that might hide secrets.

"Carefully search the books on the bookshelf, the writing brushes, papers, and inkstones on the desk, and even the calligraphy and paintings on the wall." Bai Yichen was intimidating without even getting angry, and the aura he exuded made everyone obey his orders unconsciously.

"Yes." Everyone responded and left. They were as sharp as hounds, not missing any clues.

After a careful search, they finally found a clue in an account book, which recorded the mining accounts in detail.

And in another inconspicuous account book, a higher-ranking official was actually involved.

Just when everyone was excited, another group of people came with news that a major discovery had been made in the warehouse.

Bai Yichen immediately went to the warehouse, and the scene before him shocked him.

Hundreds of boxes of gold bars bearing official seals and mountains of silver filled five rooms, and there was also countless other jewelry, cloth, and other items.

After meeting up with everyone, Xue Yao looked at the account books and the mountains of wealth in her hands, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

A local official actually amassed so much wealth. If this was considered normal, Xue Yao couldn't think of anything else that was abnormal.

Everyone collected the evidence they found and were about to evacuate when the alarm in the manor suddenly sounded.

This sudden change terrified the guards and servants, but they were unable to move.

Xue Yao and Bai Yichen exchanged glances before saying to everyone, "Search thoroughly again, carefully, and don't miss any clues."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison and then quickly took action.

Xiaoying and Xiaolin were still quietly staying beside Xueyao. At this time, Xueyao closed her eyes, concentrated her mind and released her powerful spiritual sense, and began to search the entire manor carefully inch by inch.

basement?

Xue Yaojin frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding welling up in her heart. Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately rushed towards the basement with Xiaoying and Xiaolin'er.

The basement was located at the back of the manor, hidden in a dense forest. If Xueyao hadn't used her divine sense, it would have been difficult for anyone to discover this secret.

They approached the basement entrance cautiously, fearing to alert the enemy.

Xue Yao waved her hand to signal Xiaoying and Xiaolin'er to disperse to the sides and ambush. Then she took a deep breath and waved her hands lightly. The tall osmanthus tree in front of them actually rotated like a windmill and moved slowly forward.

A square entrance that can only accommodate one person gradually appeared in front of me. It was pitch black and seemed to connect to another completely unknown world.

Xueyao leaped lightly, landing gracefully at the entrance. Little Eagle and Little Lin'er followed closely behind, not daring to slack off. Together, the two and the bird entered this mysterious basement.

The air in the basement was a little damp and filled with an indescribable strange smell.

Xueyao summoned a golden ball of light and signaled with her eyes that Xiaoying and Xiaolin'er should remain vigilant. Then, the three of them cautiously advanced forward.

After passing through a long and dark corridor, they finally arrived in front of a magnificent gate.

The door was tightly closed, covered in intricate patterns. These patterns might be traps. Xue Yao observed carefully. After a moment, she slowly raised her hands and gathered the powerful energy in her palms.

With a loud "bang", the originally indestructible door collapsed and collapsed under Xue Yao's attack.

They walked in cautiously and found a spacious and dim underground space. Strange instruments and objects were placed around, and the air was still filled with an eerie and inexplicable atmosphere.

Xue Yao frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes flashing with a sharp light. She did not miss any details and carefully searched every corner that might hide secrets.
