A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 136: Capturing the Prefect

"I'm here to arrest you. You're such a corrupt official who illegally mines and kills people. Where do you want to escape to?" Zhou Jingze asked.

"Brothers, run quickly. I will stop them. You can take your nephew away through the side door." said the prefect.

The two men calmly picked up the gold and walked back. The prefect stopped Zhou Jingze and the two started fighting.

Yun Jizi flew over and stopped them. He said with a smile, "Did we let you go? You still have the gold. My greedy little apprentice is fine here."

"Master, I'm behind you, call me!"

"Qiqi, why are you here?" Zhou Jingze asked.

"Brother Jingze, since you haven't been back for such a long time, my master's wife and I are here." My master's wife also came in from behind.

The two men saw Yun Jizi turning around and ran away. Yun Jizi flew over and blocked their way again. The two men started fighting with Yun Jizi. The three of them fought together. Yun Jizi was playing tricks on them.

Zhou Jingze also exchanged a few moves with the prefect before pressing his acupuncture points. He had wanted to play a few more moves, but when he saw Qiqi coming, he stopped playing.

Yun Jizi kicked one man, sending him flying. The other tried to fight back, but Zhou Jingze flew over and slapped him away. Both men lay on the ground, unable to get up. Zhou Jingze stepped forward and pressed their acupoints. The secret guards came in and took the three away.

Yun Jizi picked up the bag and showed it to Qiqi. "Master, gold, where did they get so much gold?"

"Qiqi, put all the things in the dark room into your space first, and then we'll go out and talk about it." Zhou Jingze said.

"Okay, Brother Jingze." Qiqi didn't even look at it anymore and put everything into the space. Zhou Jingze took Qiqi's hand and they walked out of the dark room together and arrived at the prefect's study.

The prefect and his two companions were tied up with ropes and thrown aside, with rags stuffed in their mouths.

Qiqi came over and without further ado, gave the secret guard a truth pill and asked him to feed it to the prefect. The prefect struggled and refused to eat, so the secret guard slapped him in the face. He then pinched his chin and stuffed the truth pill into the prefect's mouth.

The prefect tried to spit out the pill, but after a few dry heaves, nothing came out. The guard slapped him again. "Behave yourself! If you spit again, you're asking for a beating."

The prefect was afraid of being beaten, so he kept quiet. Qiqi walked up to him and looked at the prefect.

"You are the prefect, why did you condone the county magistrate to collect more grain? Don't you say you didn't know that his son was robbing women? You ignored people who came to complain and told them to go to the county magistrate. The county magistrate himself was corrupt and perverted the law, would you let them go back and get beaten?" Qiqi asked.

"Who are you and what qualifications do you have to ask me? I am the prefect, and you are beating an official, which is illegal," said the prefect.

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze took off the veils covering their faces. When the prefect saw that it was the prince and the princess, he was so scared that he collapsed to the ground.

"I say, I say, Prince, please spare my life." At this time, the truth pill also took effect.

It turned out that the prefect was the uncle of the county magistrate. He gave the prefect a lot of money. The prefect found some faults of the county magistrate and abolished his official position. He then appointed this so-called nephew as the county magistrate.

The magistrate allowed him to take all the extra grain he had collected and use it to feed the miners. This way, he could save some money. The prefect was very happy, and the magistrate gave him many of the jewels and jade he had collected, which made him even happier. Many people came to complain, but he refused to accept them and sent them back to their local area, asking them to contact the magistrate.

There were also several families whose daughters had been kidnapped, so they asked the magistrate to give them money to silence them and prevent them from filing a complaint.

The prefect's gold mine was discovered by a group of hunters who stumbled into a cave while taking shelter from a storm. They found a few nuggets of gold and began digging for gold regularly. Soon, they built large houses. The villagers became suspicious, and a thug secretly followed them into the cave and learned their secret.

Seeing them leave the cave, he sneaked in and dug up some gold. When he had money, he went to gamble. The gambling house was owned by the prefect. He set a trap and won all the gold from the prefect.

This scoundrel came several times with gold of varying sizes. He won whatever he did at the gambling house.

The manager of the gambling house reported the matter to the prefect, who ordered the manager to arrest the gangster who came to the gambling house to gamble again, beat him up, and ask him where he had stolen the gold.

The thug refused to speak and was beaten half to death. He confessed everything. He said that several families in his village had discovered a gold mine and were secretly mining. He took the housekeeper and many thugs to the mountain where the mine was being mined. The housekeeper saw the mine, which was golden but difficult to dig.

When they got back, they reported the matter to the prefect. Knowing that digging for gold was illegal, the prefect ordered the guards to arrest the people from these families and the thugs. They threw them into jail and announced that they had organized a robbery. The villagers then understood how they had gotten so rich so quickly, even building large tiled houses. They had become local tycoons, having made their fortunes through robbery.

The prefect didn't report the gold mine to the court. Instead, he went up the mountain to explore it himself. The mine was very hidden. Without a guide, it would be impossible to find it. So he became greedy.

He recruited his younger brother, who knew a martial arts expert, and the three of them teamed up to mine for gold. They brought over a dozen miners they had just captured and brought them to the mine to mine for them.

If they refused, they would be beaten to death. After a few beatings, they would become obedient. They were then allowed to mine the minerals. Their families were locked up in the government jail and not released, using them as hostages to prevent the miners from escaping.

Seeing that there were few people mining, the prefect decided to gather the orphans from the area to the government office, ostensibly to take care of them. In reality, they secretly took them to the mountain where the mines were being mined. There, they were given only two meals a day, which was far from enough to eat.

After more than ten days, several young children fell ill from exhaustion. They refused medical attention and continued mining despite their illness. Unable to bear it any longer, several children collapsed and never got up again. The miners carried them to the back hillside and hastily buried them.

This is a lot of lives. These people have escaped before, and when they were caught, they were beaten half to death. They were even put in chains. This way they are easier to control.

Several orphans were young and not locked up, so one child encouraged them to escape. The children did not dare to escape, and another child betrayed the one who came up with the idea.

The child was severely beaten and left alone, and they went to drink. The child, covered in wounds, stumbled down the mountain path. The mountain manager saw the child disappear and led his men in pursuit. As they chased, they saw a young man carrying the child down the mountain.

"Stop, put this child down for us."
