Chapter 1191 The Time Has Come, Gather the People
Just when Du Feng thought he would have to explain again, he saw Xun Zheng nod at him twice and then turn around to continue working.
Du Feng stood there stunned for a moment. Xun Zheng... he just left like that?
Du Feng thought... Xun Zheng just nodded at him, right?
right?
Finally confirmed – yes!
Du Feng then stepped out of the mine and walked towards the stone house.
Inside the stone house, Feng Jiu and the other two had already compiled the list.
The three of them whispered among themselves as they looked at the list several times, finally confirming that all those who shared their ideals and beliefs were on it.
What remains are those who were already dissatisfied with the illegal gold mining and the laborers trapped on the gold mines guarding them.
Then there are those who have had grudges against them, and they are taking this opportunity to settle personal scores!
Looking at the list, all three of them secretly felt a sense of satisfaction...
At this moment, they seemed to be experiencing the thrill of having the power of life and death and deciding the fate of others!
This gold mine will be abandoned starting today!
They can also leave this closed-off place and go out into the colorful world to have a happy and carefree time!
Having guarded a gold mine for so long, who would be foolish enough not to secretly keep some gold for themselves?
The Vice Minister himself promised me that if I achieved great things in the future, he would secure me an official position in front of the new emperor!
With an official position and those gold nuggets, not only would I never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life, but I could also live like a high-ranking official, with a noble wife in the hall, beautiful concubines around me, servants at my beck and call, spending money like water... Just thinking about such a wonderful life makes me feel like I can fly!
Feng Jiu had no idea that soon, it wouldn't be him flying away, but his soul!
Feng Jiu and his two companions took one last look at the list in their hands...
Apart from those on this list, today is the day of their death for the rest!
And they will be able to continue following the prince and embark on a bright future that belongs to them!
Just as Feng Jiu was about to hand the list to "Prince Yi" in front of him, he heard "Prince Yi" order: "Make a copy for me!"
"Oh, yes!"
Feng Jiu then handed the list to the tall, thin man behind him to copy it.
There were only about twenty people on the list, so it was easy to copy.
Crown Prince Xiao Jingye took the copied list, glanced at it, folded it up, and put it into his sleeve.
"Alright, there's no time to lose. Summon everyone. I want to see this with my own eyes!"
Hurry up!
Once the task is done, leave this place immediately!
Also, remember to be gentle when gathering those laborers. There's no need to provoke them into fighting and causing trouble!
Murder... doesn't necessarily have to involve bloodshed!
Do you understand?
"Yes!
I understand!
"Your humble servant obeys!"
Feng Jiu responded and quickly turned around to instruct his two subordinates, "Did you hear the prince's orders?"
"Go quickly and get everyone to assemble in the open area below!"
"Yes!"
The two men, one tall and one thin, one short and one fat, responded verbally, but their faces betrayed a hint of hesitation.
"Um... Boss..."
The two of them stared longingly at Feng Jiu.
"Alright, hurry up and get on with your business. When you leave, you are allowed to pack your personal belongings and take them with you!"
However, if you dare to interfere with my affairs now...
snort!
Don't blame me for showing no mercy!
"I am Xiao Jingye, the Crown Prince," he said coldly.
"Yes, Your Highness, please calm down!"
Go, you little bastard!
"The little rascal will go!"
These two were simply eyeing the gold they had secretly hoarded, fearing they wouldn't have time to pack it up and take it with them.
Their little scheme was seen through, and the two men, one tall and one thin, one short and one fat, were so frightened that they hurriedly ran out to run errands!
Crown Prince Xiao Jingye watched the two figures run away, his lips twitching slightly, revealing a hint of disdain.
Then he turned to look at Feng Jiu...
Feng Jiu felt a chill run down his spine, as if he could not hide anything from this "Prince Yi"!
Those two underlings had their own little schemes... I had them too!
That gold is my guarantee and confidence for the rest of my life!
It is said that it is hard to give away wealth!
Stolen money is not good money, but it's still money... and it's hard to give it up!
Once things are settled here, the prince will order them to leave immediately, or simply have their stockpiled illicit goods confiscated...
If that's the case, not only have they wasted their time before, but what will they rely on to enjoy their later years?
Feng Jiu bowed his head, avoiding eye contact with Xiao Jingye.
Then, the voice of "Your Highness Prince Yi" drifted out...
"Since you're guarding this treasure mountain every day... it's hard to guarantee you won't reach out and grab a little!"
This is normal!
It's nothing!
This king will not concern himself with such trivial matters.
Anyone who is loyal to me will be treated well!
Crown Prince Xiao Jingye's words exposed that they had been stealing gold and keeping it for themselves in their daily lives;
Furthermore, it can be seen as a promise not to pursue the matter, letting their embezzlement go unpunished.
After his initial shock, Feng Jiu was overcome with gratitude.
"Let's go out and take a look!"
"You won't see this place again after today!"
As he spoke, Crown Prince Xiao Jingye stood up, straightened his cloak, and strode towards the outside.
Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu followed closely behind Xiao Jingye, dutifully playing the role of his personal bodyguards.
Feng Jiu raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, shook his stiff body, and hurriedly followed.
