"Boss Xue, please speak first..."

"Boss Ma, let's talk first..."

"You first, you're older."

"You younger ones should come first..."

Under Liang Yue's scorching gaze, the two bosses were humble when faced with the difficult task of confessing.

"Stop arguing." Liang Yue waved his hand impatiently, "Why are you still talking about respecting the old and loving the young? The handsome one goes first!"

"All of this was ordered by Captain Chen. Both of us..." Boss Ma opened his mouth immediately and was about to confess.

"Go to hell!" Boss Xue punched him in the face and pinned him down. "Everyone, you have to listen to me first this time."

At first glance, Boss Ma was a Qigong practitioner or a mystic, a person who played with supernatural powers. Boss Xue was no match for him when they were far away, but now that they were close, the offensive and defensive positions changed, and Boss Ma could only swallow his anger.

"I'm an old man in this quarry. I've been here digging stones since I was 19 years old. It's been nearly 30 years. Captain Chen hasn't been here as long as I have." Boss Xue began to narrate: "Before he came, this was a barren land that no one cared about. A dozen people died every day. If things didn't get out of hand, no one would care. If things got out of hand, people would come and kill a bunch of people. A few years ago, after the victory of the Northwest War, a group of people were released through amnesty, and only serious criminals were kept in prison. There are basically only a few prisoners left in the same period as me."

"The changes here have only occurred since Captain Chen came. He restored order and opened a small attic. Although he extorted money from us prisoners, it also gave us a sense of purpose. At least as long as we are willing to work hard, we can still enjoy ourselves. So we old people are very impressed by him."

"A while ago, Hong Xi came. He relied on his high level of cultivation to bully others and wanted to be the boss of the entire quarry. How could we tolerate him, but we couldn't defeat him..." At this point, Boss Xue smiled embarrassedly, "So we had to ask Boss Luo and Captain Chen for support."

"Captain Chen asked us to help him do something, and he would deal with this Hong afterwards. All he asked me to do was to help him lead his men in and then help him leave. I didn't quite understand what he was going to do, but because of the trust I had in him over the years, I followed his orders."

"We have to be loyal when we get together, so I absolutely couldn't tell you when you asked me just now." Boss Xue said heavily, "But he actually didn't believe me and sent Lao Ma to silence me! I can't stand this, everything I said is true."

"Come on." Boss Ma couldn't help but retort, "Captain Chen was sure that you were a tight-lipped person, so he sent me to silence you!"

"I was subjected to eighteen kinds of torture and was tortured beyond recognition, but I didn't give up my accomplices! Otherwise, I was just robbing a tomb, why would I be imprisoned here for life?" Boss Xue said loudly.

"That's because they didn't use the right method. They only used torture. If they used a little bit of beauty tricks, could you withstand it?" Boss Ma asked.

Boss Xue said confidently: "I can definitely handle being over fifty years old!"

"You're asking for a lot." Liang Yue held him down and signaled to Ma Laodao: "You can start talking."

Zhang Danian was quite perceptive. He leaned over and poked Boss Xue, "Brother, are you a tomb robber too?"

"That's right." Boss Xue nodded and said, "The true descendant of the Xiling Lishi, eight hundred brothers, moving mountains and filling the sea."

"I am the tomb-raiding captain. Nice to meet you." Zhang Danian stepped forward and shook his hand.

Boss Xue couldn't help but also show his brilliance, "Looking for dragons and dividing gold by looking at the mountains?"

"The first mountain is..." Before Zhang Danian could finish his words, Liang Yue pulled him away.

"Now that you're here, don't think about your old ways anymore. Reform yourself and you'll have a good life in the future." Liang Yue said unhappily, "Especially you, Zhang Danian. You don't have any skills and you're still learning tomb robbing. It's a good thing that you're caught. Otherwise, something bad will happen sooner or later."

"Hey, brother, I know." Zhang Danian said with a smile: "I will never borrow money from a sponsor again."

Seeing Liang Yue turn his back, Boss Xue curled his lips and whispered, "Sometimes I just can't figure it out. The sponsor hasn't said anything about it, so why are these government officials meddling in other people's business?"

"Who said it wasn't..." Zhang Danian also whispered.

Liang Yue saw that he was not interested in doing tomb robbing again, but he found that he came here with a mission and could not protect him for a long time. That's why he wanted to get close to Boss Xue so that he would have someone to protect him in the future.

Boss Xue has a high status and is very powerful. The best thing about him is that his sentence is long, so we can definitely send him away safely.

So he didn't bother to care anymore and said directly to Ma Laoda: "What did Captain Chen tell you?" Ma Laoda sighed and said, "I am different from him. He just admires Captain Chen. Captain Chen saved my life. In the biggest battle for territory in the quarry, dozens of people died and I was almost beaten to death. It was Captain Chen who personally rescued me and sent me out for treatment. Maybe he also thought that my puppetry would be useful in the future, but I will remember this favor in my heart."

"I have been an apprentice in the Puppet Sect since I was young. My greatest dream was to become a disciple of Bai Shi. However, fate played tricks on me and I ended up doing the tomb burial business. I specialize in building mechanisms in tombs to protect against tomb robbers."

Boss Xue looked back at Zhang Danian and asked, "Do you think I should beat him up?"

Zhang Danian didn't dare to agree loudly, but nodded quietly to show his agreement with his expression.

"Then how did you get in?" Mo Qiuren asked.

"Later, I felt that this was too slow to make money, so I thought of a way." Ma Laoda said: "When I sell other people's mechanisms, I secretly leave a mark so that I can find it. Then I can crack my own mechanism and easily get the treasure inside."

"..." Liang Yue was silent for a moment.

It turns out that tomb robbing is still a popular profession now?
Different paths lead to the same destination.

After hearing this, Boss Xue and Zhang Danian looked up at the same time. Boss Xue extended his hand and said, "I guess we are also from the same group. I apologize."

"I just attacked you too." Boss Ma said apologetically.

"Hey! Let's not talk about that, we're brothers." Boss Xue put his arm around his shoulders.

Zhang Danian also came over and said, "Let's not talk about the past. In the future, it's more important for the three of us to live a good life."

"Alright, alright, let's get to the point." Liang Yue pulled the two men apart and let Boss Ma continue speaking.

"Captain Chen told me the day before yesterday that he might be in danger and needed my help. I said I would do whatever I wanted, but he said..." Boss Ma's voice trembled, showing that he was really shocked at the time, "He wanted me to kill him."

"I was shocked and asked what was going on. He then said that he needed to fake his death to escape. He wanted to borrow my puppetry to create a flying head that could confuse everyone."

"Last night he asked me to send the flying head in first, and then wait outside the attic until he showed up before taking action. I followed his orders and killed one of his relatives first, so as to get rid of some of his suspicions, and then waited outside. Sure enough, not long after, he showed up in a black robe."

"I don't know who the remaining person in the attic is, but he asked me to take action, so I killed him. The reason why he disguised himself as a flying head might be because of the legendary Wu clan's flying head technique, which likes to attack people's heads the most, which is more conducive to his hiding his identity."

Mo Qiuren said: "Your puppetry skills are very solid, not very ingenious, but the truth is simple. It can be seen that you have a certain talent and have practiced diligently. If you are guided by a famous teacher, you actually have the opportunity to become a registered disciple of Bai Shi's lineage."

"You even gave me an evaluation." Elder Xue said, "My brother will definitely be able to enter the Baishi Sect, not just be a registered disciple."

"No." Boss Ma stopped him and said, "Although this young man looks young, his puppetry skills are far better than mine, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to cut off my head so easily just now. If I'm not mistaken, you should be..."

He said slowly: "A blind man?"

"..." Liang Yue and Mo Qiuren were silent for a moment.

I thought you had figured out Brother Mo's identity and background or something else remarkable.

Wasn't it obvious that he was blind? Could it be that he was sleepy and didn't open his eyes for such a long time?
After a pause, Boss Ma sighed and said, "The blind man's puppetry skills are far better than mine, so what's the point of me studying this?"

"It's okay. Just explain clearly and tell Captain Chen's current location. I can introduce you to a successor of the Bai Shi School and even let him give you some pointers." Liang Yue stepped forward to comfort him.

"Really?" Boss Ma raised his head suddenly, "You are not lying to me?"

Mo Qiuren smiled and said, "Every word that Brother Lin said is..."

"Don't talk." Boss Ma pointed at him, signaling him to shut up, then stepped forward and held Liang Yue's hand, "I'll tell you right away. If I can meet the successor of the Bai Shi Sect and talk to him in this lifetime, it would be worth dying for."

"No..." Mo Qiuren hesitated and finally gave up.
