How to repay the debt or reset the bounty

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I've completed the quest where you get blamed for the murders in Markarth – but now since the Dark Brotherhood quest where you need to kill the one informant about the chef I'm screwed because every time I go into Markarth the guards arrest me and I can't pay off my debt.

If I tell the guards I want to go to jail he says "you'll never see the sun again, no one escapes sindna mines", and then the dialogue box comes up with all the options again.

What should I do; never go to Markarth or just murder all the guards since I'm good at that. My debt now is probably close to 30000 coins by now.

Any ideas?

If you agree and get sent to Sidna Mines there is a quest in there which allows you to escape. It's not very long. You will escape as part of this quest and it will also make you friends with the faction (or did for me).

I didn't lose any gear or attribute point progress.

Although I can't quite recall what quest I was on to get sent there. As a note, I've not done any Dark Brotherhood quests, mainly as I'm playing a 'goodie'.
