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

The stone walls used to block the entrance were moved away, and a group of people were assigned to control the entrance.

Gu Xu and Jing Yuanshou led their men into the tunnel.

The entrance was only separated from Ganzhou City by a mountain, so Gu Xu and the others didn't have to walk for too long before they entered the backyard of the general's mansion through the underground hall filled with gold and silver.

Wu Feng had been waiting at the door.

"Master." When he saw Gu Xu, his face was full of joy, but then he remembered that the bandit leader Yin Shun committed suicide by taking poison, and his expression became restrained again.

Gu Xu saw Jing Yuanshou coming out of the tunnel and said, "General Jing, shall we go to Ganzhou camp now?"

Jing Yuanshou said, "That's fine. But you have caught the culprit behind the mine, why don't you interrogate him first?"

"There's no rush for this." Gu Xu said, "I need to find someone first."

"Okay." Jing Yuanshou didn't ask any more questions. Jing Cun's instructions to him were to follow Gu Xu's arrangements.

Wu Feng asked: "Are you going to find Boss Gu? What about this side?"

Gu Xu hesitated for a moment. He wanted to bring Gu Yue here and interrogate him one by one, so that he could hear what was wrong. But at present, he only controlled the General's Mansion, which was not the end of the matter. He still needed to make some arrangements.

He said, "Forget it, just take me to see it."

Wu Feng hurriedly agreed and led the way.

When he arrived at the main hall, Gu Xu saw a man in black tied to a pillar. His hood had been opened and he looked dejected.

Gu Xu recognized that this was the person he followed with the vixen that night.

"Who are you?" Gu Xu asked.

The man in black was a little terrified. This man's aura was even more terrifying than the guy who knocked him down. "My name is Yin Bai, and I'm the son of Lord Yin Shun. I've handled all of Lord Yin Shun's private business in Beiqin."

"what business?"

"It's just... the not-so-glorious ones. The dirty things that are not done by ordinary means are all done by me."

"The mine thing was your idea?"

"No, no, that's not it. These were all ideas that Lord Yin Shun came up with. I was just executing them." Yin Bai swallowed.

Yin Shun was dead, so there was no point in hiding it. "Master Yin Shun asked me to give a kind of medicine powder to the owner of Lu's fabric store while we were discussing business and drinking, and asked him to exchange it with gold produced by Pinghu Mine, not cash. Then he told him to poison Meng Jincheng, the iron official of the mine, and I will contact Meng Jincheng."

Yin Bai continued, "As for Meng Jincheng, I will ask him to trade with the wealthy merchants, and then deposit the silver at the exit of the back mountain of the mine. I will then regularly transport it to the underground hall and transport it out of Beiqin through the underground tunnel."

"Why do you do this?" Gu Xu asked.

"Lord Yin Shun said that in this case, Meng Jincheng himself was embezzling, exploiting the miners, stealing the gold and selling it to the wealthy businessmen. Those wealthy businessmen did not keep the gold in their accounts, and the drug powder they used was highly toxic. Even if they were investigated, there would be no evidence..."

This is basically consistent with the fox spirit's inference. I'm afraid they had planned to kill Meng Jincheng from the beginning so that Yin Shun could completely get away from this incident. Naturally, no one could find this tunnel, let alone associate a Hu merchant with Mu You.

Gu Xu said coldly: "Where did that powder come from?"

Yin Bai said: "The poisonous weed is from India. Lord Yin Shun brought it to Northern Qin several years ago. It seems that he planted a lot of it somewhere. I don't know the details."

"Are there any new poisonous weeds being delivered recently?"

"Yes." Yin Bai replied, "They are all dried goods or prepared medicinal powders, there is no fresh one. That thing is called spring flower in Tianzhu, and the seeds don't grow here in Ganzhou..."

Gu Xu asked again: "Who owns Baoshun Pharmacy?"

"It should also be Lord Yinsun's."

"Should? You don't know?"

"My Lord does not entrust all matters to the same person. I am only responsible for the trade between the mine and the wealthy merchants. Someone else is responsible for transporting the powder and dry goods. We don't know each other."

Gu Xu roughly understood Yin Shun's business ideas.

Although this model is cumbersome and complicated for Yin Shun, the advantage is that the exposure of one part will not implicate the others.

Baoshun Pharmacy...

Gu Xu was not in a hurry. They had more than just the mine in their hands. They also had the contact point of Baoshun Pharmacy in Chang'an, the arrested messenger, and even the entire transportation route of the poisonous weeds. The person behind the pharmacy lurking in the palace was enough to serve as evidence.

Gu Xu said to Wu Feng, "You and Wu Yun will be responsible for this matter. Guard the entire general's mansion and don't let any rumors spread. In addition, torture the captured guards and make them confess the location of the stronghold in Ganzhou City."

Then he turned to Yin Bai and said, "If you cooperate well, maybe you can still keep your life."

Yin Bai said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, there are four contact points in Ganzhou City that I know of, I will tell them all..."

Gu Xu looked at Yin Shun's body again and found nothing wrong with it. It had a typical Hu appearance, no features worthy of attention, and no tattoos on his fingers.

Yoon Baek said that he had never seen Yoon Sun's true face, and it didn't seem like he was lying.

I'm afraid Yin Bai is not a very central figure.

Leaving Wufeng and Wuyun inside to work, Gu Xu walked out of the main hall and came to the front yard. There were some dead grass growing in the cracks between the stone bricks in the yard, and it was obvious that they had never been properly taken care of.

He had to admit that his mind was no longer on the matter of Yoonsun.

Jing Yuanshou wisely did not participate in this matter. Although he was a junior general of the Jing army, he was far from qualified to make any decisions. Seeing Gu Xu coming out of the main hall, he approached.

"How about we set off now?" Jing Yuanshou asked.

"Leave now." Gu Xu said, "Don't go in or out through the main entrance."

Jing Yuanshou nodded: "I know."

……

Customs.

Deputy General Sheng Sheng was cut off his horse by a single blow and fell unconscious.

There was a cut on his leather armor on his chest, his leg seemed to be broken, and his frightened horse ran away. However, he had no time to take care of himself. He saw that in the battle circle not far away, four spies who were originally arranged to besiege Qin Zhaoyue were pierced through the chest by arrows from nowhere.

Qin Zhaoyue swung the sword in his hand and easily broke out of the encirclement with Jingcun's help.

Sheng Sheng lay on the ground, shaking uncontrollably.

How could this be?

As far as the eye could see, several rebel generals in the Ganzhou army were surrounded and killed. The entire army was divided into two halves, one half withstood the attack of the Western Di cavalry, with arrows raining down; the other half dispersed in an orderly manner and surrounded the rebels in an organized manner.

One team of Jing's army encircled and advanced from the rear, while another team of Jing's army rushed to the front line and charged in front of the Xidi cavalry.

Qin Zhaoyue's body was covered with blood from the murders. He looked back and saw Sheng Sheng lying on the ground.

The prince grinned and smiled deeply.
