Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Chapter 137 Silver Mine

"You guys hide first, I'll go take a look." Tian Zhenwei asked everyone to find a place to hide first while he went ahead.

"Forget it, I'll take you with me. I've set a trap, and it would be bad if you accidentally stepped on it." Hunter Niu was worried about Tian Zhenwei's safety and followed him.

Before the two of them got close, Tian Zhenwei heard that there seemed to be a lot of people coming in the front, heading in their direction. "It's not good. There are a lot of people coming. We may be ambushed."

"how come."

"Stop talking nonsense for now, let's prepare to meet the enemy. They come at the right time, so we don't have to go in to look for them." Tian Zhenwei immediately pulled the cattle hunter back. He was happy that those people ran out, so that his people would not have to walk more and it would be easier to shoot them on the spot.

"A lot of people are coming in front of the Second Young Master. Let's prepare for the battle. I'll have everyone get ready. The Second Young Master knows how to use weapons."

"What a pity, I haven't had the chance yet."

"I'll ask my brothers to escort you and the cattle hunter back and stay away from him."

Then Tian Zhenwei sent two people to escort Tian Yuheng and Niu Liehu away.

"Brothers, spread out, move forward little by little, listen to my command, and shoot when I say so." Everyone followed Tian Zhenwei's instructions and moved forward little by little. When the opponent's figure appeared in the field of vision, Tian Zhenwei shouted, "Shoot."

"Bang, bang, bang." Bursts of musket fire swept past, and the people on the opposite side were shot and fell to the ground before they could react. The people in the back row realized something was wrong and ran back immediately, but Tian Zhenwei and his men fired at the other side from both sides, and almost no one managed to dodge it.

On the other side, in the county magistrate's inner court, a group of men in black walked in, and the gatekeeper didn't notice it at all.

Fortunately, Tian Xing'er's bodyguard Tian Da discovered it. He first woke the man up, and then he quietly followed these people.

"This room belongs to County Magistrate Tian. Quickly release the smoke screen to knock out everyone in the room." He gave the order softly.

Several people swiftly came to the window, poked a hole, and blew the smoke in.

I don't know when the leading man in black already had a torch in his hand. Seeing that everyone else had dealt with it, he was about to burn the torch on the window. The weather in the north is dry, so as long as the fire is lit, it will be easy to gain momentum.

Just as the leader threw the torch, Tian Da's dagger hit his hand, and the torch failed to be thrown and fell to the ground.

"Oh no, there's someone there, hurry up, retreat." The man in black realized something was wrong and immediately prepared to retreat, but it was too late.

Others have surrounded the place.

"Fight."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black had no choice but to force his way forward.

At Tian Da's command, the guards who had arrived rushed forward and the two sides immediately started fighting.

"I'll come to help too." Gao Xi appeared out of nowhere and joined the battle. Soon, the officers from the county government also came over and surrounded the men in black.

Tian Da was fighting with the leader. The two sides were evenly matched and it was unclear who would win. Gao Xiben was fighting with other people. Seeing that the situation here had not been resolved yet, he slowly moved over and stabbed the opponent from behind. The leader of the men in black was distracted by the pain, and Tian Da took advantage of the opportunity and stabbed the opponent's legs with a spinning knife.

The man in black fell down unable to hold on, and Tian Da immediately stepped forward to subdue him.

"Catch all the men in black." After the leader of the men in black was captured, Tian Da and his men became even more motivated, and soon all of them were subdued.

Tian Da first had the man in black tied up, and then went into the house to wake up County Magistrate Tian and his family.

"Tell me who you are and why you broke into the government office and tried to kill me. You are so brave."

"You crooked official, just kill him if you want to, don't waste your time talking nonsense, we are just doing the job for money, we don't know what you are asking." The leading man in black didn't seem to be afraid of being caught.

"Sir, how about letting me do the interrogation? I have learned this from others before, and I guarantee that I will make them speak obediently." Gao Xi volunteered to help.

"Okay, thank you for your help. I'll have them sent to the prison, and you can come with me to interrogate them."

Tian Zhenwei and his brothers all went to rescue people tonight. County Magistrate Tian didn't have an expert in interrogation, so he agreed to let Gao Xi give it a try, but his own people also went with him.

"Dad, Mom, are you okay?" Tian Xing'er and her sister had also heard the noise before. Tian Da had people protecting them and not letting them out. Now that it was safe, he dared to let them in.

Xu was afraid that they would worry, so she immediately replied, "It's okay, we are fine, don't worry."

"Dad, what's going on? Why are there so many men in black all of a sudden? Are they so bold?" Tian Xing'er also knew that her father was investigating a case recently, but she didn't expect them to be so bold as to send people to assassinate the county government.

"I'm afraid someone doesn't want me to live."

"Master, what should we do? Will they come again?" Auntie also came from her own courtyard. Seeing the group of men in black being held down, she was also very scared. I didn't expect that after living here for half a year, I would encounter such things again.

"I will solve it as soon as possible, you don't have to worry." County Magistrate Tian was afraid that his family members would be scared, so he had to comfort them first, "Go back to sleep, everything will be fine, don't worry."

This night was destined to be uneasy. County Magistrate Tian did not sleep all night, waiting for the results of the interrogation.

The same thing happened to Tian Yuheng. After they dealt with the people they were going to ambush, they captured the man in black who was caught in the trap and asked him to lead the way into the cave. At this time, there was no one in the cave. This cave was previously connected to the other end. They blew up the cave door before escaping, and Tian Yuheng's men couldn't catch up with them.

"Tell me, did you lock up all the people you captured here, or somewhere else? Where does this cave lead to?" Tian Zhenwei's men also began to interrogate the remaining people who were not dead yet.

"Tell the truth and we'll give you a quick death. If you don't, we'll add sugar to your blood and let you watch ants crawling all over your body. We'll attract the biggest ants on this mountain to you. Do you want to experience it?"

"Ah, I say, I say."

I didn't expect this man in black to be so useless. I was scared and lost my courage before I even made a move.

"Here, we captured those people here to open up the mountain and connect this side of the mountain with the other side."

"What's the purpose of opening this place?"

"In order to transport the silver, the prefect discovered a small silver mine nearby. That's why he sent people to secretly monitor this county."

"Has the silver mine been mined? Where is the exact location of the silver mine?"

"Open, it's mined out, it's empty. In fact, it was mined a month or two before Lord Tian came, but there were still some things to do, such as transportation, so we sent people here."

"What about the villagers?"

"All the villagers are dead. How can we let people know about this? The prefect will definitely not let them survive."

"Then what are you all doing here? Didn't you say the silver mine has been mined out?"
