No wonder Lian Gou Ye shouted at the top of his lungs when he saw Wei and Qin.

"How did County Magistrate Cheng catch you?" Although Wei Xi was 80% sure that County Magistrate Cheng wanted to fill the gold pit at the bottom of the river, he still needed to confirm it.

"...Qin Feng said she was out looking for traces of the Hu people, so I stayed in the guest room to clean myself from the rain."

Wei Xi had already learned about this from Qin Feng, but Lian Gou's brain was a little slower than his mouth at the moment, so the two could only wait patiently for him to figure it out.

"I heard the door open and thought it was Qin Feng coming back. But I was hit by a stick and I dodged it."

"Who would have thought that County Magistrate Cheng would bring two people and block the doors and windows tightly... I tried to maneuver around in the house but couldn't escape. And because of the rain, my spiritual power was lost, so I couldn't use it to enter the painting."

Lian Gouqie couldn't help but feel scared when he thought about it. Although he was a thief, he usually relied on his good skills and Ruhua as his trump card. How could he have been treated like this before?

Wei Xi lied to him without telling him that two big men came up and dragged him out the door.

"Then they took me to the backyard, and on the way we ran into the group of barbarians disguised as a merchant caravan."

"That's right!" Lian Gouqie slammed his hands to the ground, his voice rising several degrees, "Those barbarians said the government officials were arriving soon! That's why they wanted to retreat with County Magistrate Cheng, taking the gold with them!"

Hearing this, Qin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had to wait until the matter was settled.

Wei Xi gradually got used to the pain of broken bones. Getting used to it didn't mean it would be better, but it made it easier for her to think.

"The Hu people didn't say how they knew it?" Wei Xi ate the last bite of the bread in his hand and waited for Lian Gou's feedback.

"No, they just said they got the news."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them understood what was going on. It seemed that this group of barbarians really came simply for the gold.

Wei Xi thought of another layer. These Hu people only said that they had received the news, and they might have concealed the fact that their people had suffered casualties.

It wasn't that County Magistrate Cheng had done anything to them back then. Wei Xi guessed that this group of barbarians had run into the government troops and lost some men. He figured that County Magistrate Cheng had been operating in Tangkou Town for many years, and if he had any sense at all, he would have left a way out.

Thinking of the poorly maintained tunnel they had taken when they came here, Wei Xi thought that this group of Hu people had made the right bet.

Unfortunately, Wei Xi and the other two unexpectedly turned the game upside down.

This group of Hu people was vague in their words to County Magistrate Cheng, and concealed the fact that their team had been reduced in number, which was good news for Wei Xi and the other two.

The more County Magistrate Cheng and the Hu people distrust each other, the greater the chances of Wei Xi and the others winning.

The news that reinforcements from the government office were about to arrive undoubtedly encouraged Wei Xi and the other two. No matter how much Wei Xi thought about it, given her age, she was inevitably a bit childish and naive, just waiting for the government officials to arrive so she could leave them alone.

In this way, the three of them rested for a while, listening to the sound of rain outside, and even had the mind to chat for a while.

"Wei Xi, who hurt you?" Lian Gouqie was really curious.

When this matter was mentioned, Qin Feng looked even more worried than Wei Xi, as if it was not Wei Xi who had broken bones, but herself.

"After the fire was out, I followed County Magistrate Cheng to the Huan River. I went down to see that the pit had been hit by the river waves."

Wei Xi downplayed the matter. It just so happened that these three people fell into the same river. Seeing that Wei Xi was injured like this, they naturally knew that she was vague in order to reassure her friends.

Before they could say anything, Wei Xi changed the subject, "That hole needs to be filled by a monk. It seems that the beggar is indeed a monk."

"But," Wei Xi couldn't help but grimace in pain, "where are the bones inside?"

Lian Gouqie had the longest experience with County Magistrate Cheng. When Wei Xi said this, he quickly said, "County Magistrate Cheng wants to force me to fill that grave. He wasn't the one who took the bones. Who else in Tangkou Town knows about this?"

"Doctor Li!" Lian Gouyi's mind quickly reviewed the people the three had met in Tangkou Town. The old man with a bad temper and who had deceived them became the culprit in her eyes. Wei Xi really thought about it, but ultimately shook her head. Seeing Lian Gouyi's puzzled expression, she explained, "Doctor Li worked well with County Magistrate Cheng. Although he was dissatisfied with Cheng, what use would he have with a skeleton outside Tangkou Town?"

There was some truth in this. The three of them had all seen Doctor Li's indignant look. His words were fake, but his anger was real.

How County Magistrate Cheng used the monks' bones to transform the gold sand in Tangkou Town into gold nuggets remains a mystery. But one thing is certain: County Magistrate Cheng has been operating in Tangkou Town for many years. Even if Doctor Li, who aided and abetted the evil, wanted to start a new business with the bones, he would not have found a more suitable place than Tangkou Town.

If Wei Xi did this, she would find a way to kill County Magistrate Cheng and control Tangkou Town, which would be better than starting from scratch in another place.

Qin Feng also put forward his own idea, "Could that county magistrate be him?"

"Sun Ji has a broken leg and can't move around easily. How could he run to the Huan River to salvage the bones?" Thinking of the county magistrate who was imprisoned in the backyard, Lian Gouqie shook his head.

"Disabled?" Qin Feng, who was in charge of attracting attention at the time, only learned about this. "According to the laws of Ju State, officials must have all four limbs intact. How could he be a county magistrate?"

"County Magistrate Cheng," Wei Xi reminded him, and Qin Feng finally realized, "This, County Magistrate Cheng is so bold!"

Qin Feng has received the most mainstream education since she was a child. Unlike Wei Xi and Lian Gouqie, she has no respect for order. Order has woven into her perception of the world.

"He is just a mere county official, plotting to murder his superiors, taking human lives, killing monks, colluding with the barbarians, and selling gold privately. I'm afraid that all his nine clans will be beheaded in the next life!" Qin Feng's sense of order felt absurd in the face of County Magistrate Cheng's actions, and his tone was full of anger.

Wei Xi was really in pain at this moment. She kept the same posture and said, "When the time comes, I'll skin him alive. I want to watch."

Wei and Qin spoke more harshly than each other. Thinking about how he was only slapped in the face when he met them, Lian Gou Xie actually felt that these two were really giving him a break.

The harsh words were spoken, but there was still no clue as to who took the bones.

Seeing that the rain outside showed no sign of stopping, the three of them did not dare to pin their hopes entirely on reinforcements from the government office.

Especially Qin Feng, she had a huge psychological shadow about the reinforcements.

The three of them discussed it and agreed to leave the evil to the evil. The Hu people and Cheng County Magistrate were fighting, so they only needed to keep an eye on these two groups. It would be best to trap Cheng County Magistrate and the Hu people in Longhu Mountain. Once the government officials took control of the county government, they would eventually find Longhu Mountain through secret passages or interrogation.

The biggest problem with this strategy is time.

This is where the three of them disagreed. Wei Xi insisted on staying in Longhu Mountain just in case, while Qin Feng and Lian Gouqie insisted that Wei Xi should recover from his injuries and save his life.

"There are still County Magistrate Cheng's men in Tangkou Town, and we don't know when the government officials will arrive," Wei Xi tried to persuade the two men. "I'm going down to recuperate. If County Magistrate Cheng goes back, we'll meet at the bottom of the river!"

Seeing the two stubborn men, Wei Xi and Qin Feng, locked in a stalemate, Lian Gouyu quickly said, "Wei Xi has broken bones. If he were to encounter trouble down the mountain, he wouldn't be able to protect himself."

Before Lian Gouqie could finish his words, Qin Feng struck the unsuspecting Wei Xi unconscious with a single blow of his hand, and protected her head with his hands.

He said to the stunned Lian Gouyu, "By the time you finish your nagging, everyone will have run away."

"Xiaoxi is resting here, you watch her!"

".Aren't you going to send her down the mountain to recuperate?" Lian Gouqie was completely confused and asked Qin Feng blankly.

Qin Feng gave him a look of disdain. "Xiao Xi is right. It's not right to send her to recuperate, but if she stays awake, she'll have to work hard. It's just right that you can take care of her when you wake up."

"I'll go take care of those guys, and this matter will be settled!"
