"Actually, you have found the entrance, but you have not taken action because you are missing one important thing."

“Fish kisses Copper Town!”

"You tried to dig a tunnel out, but failed.

A few years ago, people often jumped into the water by the lotus pond, but no one ever found a dead body. In fact, what jumped into the water was not a dead body, but the soil dug out when you dug a tunnel. You have nowhere to throw away such a large amount of soil.

, so you came up with a trick to build a statue of a saint. You set up a library in Xili and found someone to build a statue of the saint, saying it was a sign of respect for the saint. In fact, after you made the clay into an embryo, you ordered someone to build it that night.

By the pool, throw it into the pool. Since it was night, no one could see it clearly.

Hence the legend of an innocent soul thrown into a pond...

It wasn't until a few years ago that you discovered the secret of Yuki Copper Town and stopped digging tunnels."

"you you……"

Wang Cheng felt that the hairs on his spine stood up.

What Cao Peng said hit his vital points.

In an instant, all his support was gone, and only endless fear remained.

Cao Peng glanced at him and said, "Whether you cooperate or not, I will not kill those 30,000 people.

In order for Haixi to recover, it needs a large population, and they can just serve as villagers... I may be vicious, but I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Master Cao, I will take you to open the entrance."

Wang Cheng's heart suddenly calmed down at this moment.

From Cao Peng's eyes, he read sincerity.

He had been a bandit all his life and had killed countless people; he had even killed officials who had become officials. Wang Cheng also knew that he definitely had no chance of survival.

Since Cao Peng made the guarantee, maybe he can really bring a way of life to those poor people.

It is not a long-term solution for 30,000 people to gather in the small Yuzhou Mountain. Although Yuzhou Mountain is hidden, it is not a long-term solution after all.

Being able to return to land has been the idea of ​​Wang Cheng and others for many years.

The reason why he wants to open the treasure is also to provide a proper settlement for those who follow him.

As for Wang Cheng himself...

"Cao Peng, you did a good job!"

When Cao Peng walked out of the gate of the government office, he saw Chen Deng standing in front of the door.

However, he was surprised to see that there was an acquaintance behind Chen Deng. He was the young man who had talked about food with him that day in Xiapi.

"Prefect Chen!"

"You knew the pirates were coming, why didn't you inform me in time?"

"I……"

"Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are a little smart? If these pirates attack Haixi, the newly restored vitality of Haixi County will be destroyed. How dare you be so bold?"

Cao Peng was stunned!

I originally thought that Chen Deng came here to cause trouble for Deng Ji.

But looking at his words, does he mean to cause trouble?

The young man behind Chen Deng made a face at Cao Peng, and then said loudly: "You are indeed brave, but Cao Peng is young and is not sensible. How can you, County Magistrate Deng, allow him to behave like this? Also, Cao Peng is young and ignorant."

, Mai Ren... As a Haixi gentry, at this time, you did not stay in the county, but ran to Guangling. How can you be worthy of your father Mai Gongjuwei, who has a reputation of uprightness in this life."

Mai Ren stood aside, a little at a loss.

Chen Deng glared at the young man, and then looked at Cao Peng.

"Cao Peng!"

"The official is here."

"Are you willing to follow me to Guangling?"

"ah?"

Cao Peng raised his head in astonishment and looked at Chen Deng.

But I saw a faint smile on Chen Deng's somewhat rigid face.

Chen Deng turned his head and looked towards Deng Ji again.

"County Magistrate Deng, are you willing to give up your love?"

"Xiaguan... If Youxue is willing, Xiaguan will not stop you."

There was a trace of ecstasy in Deng Ji's heart.

Ah Fu, was spotted by Chen Deng?

If you stay in Haixi, you won't have a better future than Guangling.

The most important thing is that Ah Fu can make more friends when he arrives in Guangling, which is a hundred times better than staying in Haixi.

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment and said: "Prefect Chen, please allow me to think twice before making a decision. I believe that the top priority is to open the treasure house left by Li Guangli as soon as possible."

"treasure?"

Chen Deng was startled and exclaimed: "Are you saying that the legendary sea treasure is indeed a real thing?"

"Exactly."

"You..." Chen Deng pondered for a moment, "I have heard people say since I was a child that there was a batch of treasures in Haixi, which were left behind by the Marquis of Haixi.

Until now, no one knew about it, so they thought it was just a legend.

Unexpectedly... Long article, it seems that we really came to the right place today... Zi Ai, why don't you come with us?

I know you feel a little uncomfortable, but it's just a trivial matter. I don't know much about Magistrate Deng's character. But my father once said that Magistrate Deng is a prudent person. If there is any misunderstanding between you, you might as well talk about it.

Clearly, it’s no big deal…”

Mai Ren, his face turned red.

He ran to Guangling to complain, hoping to drive Deng Ji away through Chen Deng.

Who would have known... As soon as he walked away with his front foot, the pirate with his back foot broke into trouble.

When he walked into the Haixi city gate and heard the cheers of those Haixi people, Mai Ren knew that his plan might be in vain!

How could Mai Ren not know the reason for this?

He couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had not contacted Xue Zhou rashly at the beginning, otherwise he would have no place in Haixi if the incident was revealed.

After all, the crime of colluding with pirates...

Cao Peng glanced at Mai Ren and then at Chen Deng.

He suddenly sighed and said softly: "Prefect Chen, you came just in time. There is an old case. Let's solve it together today."

"An old case?"

Deng Ji looked at Cao Peng doubtfully.

Chen Deng asked: "What old case?"

"Feng Chao!"

"Here!"

Feng Chao walked in from outside the crowd and stepped in to salute.

Cao Peng said: "This Feng Caoyu... no, actually he should be called Feng Gongzi. He is the son of Feng Yuan, the commander of Haixi who was killed three years ago. He is now in Haixi and is serving as a soldier. What I said

The old case is the real culprit who killed Magistrate Feng three years ago."

Feng Chao couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.

"The real murderer of my father?"

When Chen Deng heard what Cao Peng said, his face immediately showed a solemn look.

He asked in a deep voice: "Cao Peng, could it be said that it was not done by pirates? Do you know who did it?"
