Chapter 58 The Truth About the Mineral Vein
Time flies, and a week has passed.
Nothing major happened in Cold Moon City during this period. Apart from the increase in the number of investigators dispatched by the Spirit Suppression Bureau, there were no other unusual occurrences, which relieved the three major groups who had been worried all day.
In an office on the top floor of the SiXue Group headquarters.
Li Ruyue frowned, staring at the secretary: "You mean Jiang Qin has been spending the past week either cultivating or teaching students basic skills at school?"
"Yes," the secretary replied truthfully, her tone also showing surprise.
"And he teaches quite well. In the past two days, many students and teachers from other schools have also gone to learn from him. His reputation has spread throughout the entire Cold Moon City."
The school's teachers are at most mortal beings.
Now that a powerful martial artist at the Spirit Sea Realm is giving a public lecture, parents who hope their children will become successful are naturally flocking to it, eager to seize this opportunity to give their children some guidance.
Li Ruyue's brows were deeply furrowed.
The confidence that once made him feel in control and in control of everything is gone.
"What exactly is this Special Envoy Jiang up to?"
I can't see through it, I really can't see through it.
at the same time.
The playground of a high school in Hanyue City was incredibly crowded at this moment.
Thousands of students are practicing horse stance, each with a bucket full of water hanging from their arms, squatting laboriously.
The edge of the playground not far away.
The principal is leading the teachers in taking notes.
"Quickly memorize all the postures that Teacher Jiang taught us, so that we can train the students according to these requirements in the future."
"Teacher Jiang teaches really well. I asked several students yesterday, and they all said that after resting after training, they felt that their core strength had improved a lot."
"That's obvious. Teacher Jiang is a Spirit Sea Realm martial artist; what he teaches is bound to be good!"
"..."
On the high platform at the very front, Jiang Qin yawned out of boredom.
He may seem nonchalant, but if any student's movements are not up to standard or they are slacking off, he will accurately launch the pebble in his hand and hit that person on the head.
"Little Tiger, still haven't found it?"
Chen Xiaohu's deep voice came through the earphones:
"There's no boss. The three major groups have sent quite a few people to monitor us, but none of them are the ones you mentioned."
"Alright."
Disappointment flashed in Jiang Qin's eyes.
Did he really use the wrong method?
The three major groups have been developing in Coldmoon City for so many years, have they really made no mistakes?
But at that very moment...
An arrow shot from an unknown source, its tip aimed directly at Jiang Qin.
It was not imbued with spiritual power, and the arrow was made of very ordinary materials. As soon as it got close, Jiang Qin noticed it and reached out to grab the arrow.
The arrow had a note attached to it.
Jiang Qin's lips curled up slightly as he opened the note and glanced at it. Inside were the time and place.
It seems that his week wasn't wasted.
...
Time quickly passed and night fell, the darkness deepening.
Coldmoon City is located in the northwest, where the temperature drops by 20 degrees Celsius at night, making it bitterly cold. As a result, Coldmoon City is very quiet at night, unlike Shanghai, where there is no so-called nightlife.
Even martial artists dislike going out at night.
Jiang Qin left the Zhenling Bureau quietly without alerting anyone.
His figure blended into the darkness, like an elusive ghost, and even the patrolling investigators didn't notice him.
Finally, Jiang Qin arrived at an abandoned train station outside the city.
There was no one in the station, but that didn't escape his notice, and he immediately looked towards the corner.
"Since you called me here, why hide?"
Two figures then emerged from the corner.
A man covered in filth was holding the hand of a girl who looked about ten years old.
The girl was also covered in mud, and her clothes looked like they hadn't been washed in a long time, emitting a faint stench, but her eyes were full of intelligence.
From the moment the girl appeared, Jiang Qin's gaze never left her body.
Of course, it's not that he has any special fetishes.
Before awakening their martial arts talent, humans cannot enter the mortal realm; this is absolutely true.
The little girl in front of him possessed spiritual power and was already a Spirit Induction Realm martial artist, but her physical body was extremely weak, even weaker than a mortal realm cultivator, only slightly stronger than an ordinary adult.
Noticing Jiang Qin's gaze, the girl fearfully hid behind the man.
The man's voice was tense and wary: "I know you are the new special envoy of the Spirit Suppression Bureau."
"I know you want evidence of the three major groups' illegal activities, and I can give it to you, but you must agree to one condition."
"Speak." Jiang Qin nodded slightly.
The man mustered his courage, looked at the girl behind him, and spoke with a touch more tenderness:
"This child was sold into this family. Can you take her with you?"
Jiang Qin neither agreed nor refused, because the request was really not worth mentioning.
"Tell me what you know first. If your information is useful to me, I can consider it."
The man then began to speak, for he had no other choice.
"My name is Zhang Tie, and I'm a foreman in the Hanyue Mining Team."
"Before we go on, I'd like to ask you, sir, how much do you know about the Cold Moon Mine?"
Having been in Cold Moon City for so many days, Jiang Qin certainly couldn't stay idle all the time.
Without hesitation, he said, "As far as I know, the Cold Moon Mine in Cold Moon City is the largest in the country. It was originally discovered by the Li family, who then joined forces with the Zhao and Lei families to take over the mining rights of this mine from the state, with the requirement that half of the Cold Moon ore mined each year be handed over."
The ores that can be used to refine magical artifacts are naturally not something ordinary people can touch.
It would have required a large sum of money to hire a large number of martial artists to go deep underground to mine, and the affairs in all aspects were also very troublesome. Therefore, the higher-ups simply gave the mining rights of the entire vein to the three most powerful families in the area: Li, Zhao, and Lei.
They can get half of the ore they mine without doing anything, making this cooperation quite worthwhile.
In fact, Jiang Qin also had many doubts in his heart.
After handing over half of the ore, there should have been a profit, but the three major groups shouldn't have made so much money.
Zhang Tie quickly answered his question.
His eyes were filled with resentment: "These three major groups are not human! They...they didn't hire martial artists to mine at all. Instead, they bought many children like Xiaoqing from various places, as well as captured beggars and refugees, injected them with a drug to make them resist the erosion of the Cold Moon Ore on their bodies, and then forced them to mine day and night!"
"They treat these people like tools, giving them only two hours of rest each day!"
"And anyone who has been injected with this drug, whether adult or child, will only live for a maximum of 5 years! They will definitely die after 5 years!"
"Those beasts don't treat people like human beings at all! Just over the years, they've sent no fewer than ten thousand corpses out of the mines every year!"
"Please, Special Envoy, seek justice for them, for those innocent deaths!"
This information was indeed like a bolt from the blue, causing Jiang Qin to frown deeply.
