Chapter 704: The Old Mansion
Wu Song trusted Xing Zhutou, and the group followed Xing Zhutou to a house.
"This is my mother's house, her old man's house has been empty since she died, no one knows about it, you can hide here for a while. Xing Zhutou said.
The house is a common kind of small courtyard, with a hall and east and west wings. The house was covered with dust, and it was true that no one had been here for a long time.
"Why do you want to help us?" Wu Song said.
Xing Zhutou sat down on a chair and said, "One is to thank you for saving your life, and the other is to be your duty." I've checked, and those three demon clans are the head catchers in the demon clan area. ”
"Why are they arresting us?"
"According to the information I inquired, it was the demon clan on Bailang Island who asked the demon clan of Feishi Harbor to arrest you. Do you have any holiday with the demon clan on Bailang Island?" said Xing Zhutou.
"I see," Wu Song said suddenly, "Before we came here, we went to Bailang Island and inadvertently angered the demon generals there. ”
"That's right," Xing Zhutou said, "The Demon Clan is here with their hands and eyes, and you should have been discovered when you were staying at the inn in Feishi Harbor." In every inn in this city, the demon clan has eyeliner. ”
"However, before I came, I heard that the Terran catcher is in the Terran area here, and the demon catcher can't enter without permission, why can those three demon clans come to arrest us?" Wu Song was puzzled.
"It stands to reason that it is so, but the rules are set by people, and only if someone is willing, then the rules can naturally be changed slightly. Xing Zhutou smiled bitterly, "Someone in the Terran official mansion was bribed by the demon clan, and that person gave the demon clan a document that allowed him to arrest people."
Of course, that document is invalid and can only fool ordinary people. I've reported it to the government, and the investigation has already begun. If my expectations are correct, then the person who was bribed should be Lu Zhutou. ”
"You just said that the people from the government will arrive soon, and you are talking about Lu Zhutou, right?" Wu Song said.
"Yes, he has been bought by the demon clan, so naturally he will do things for the demon clan. After the demon clan fails to capture you, then Lu Zhutou will definitely come out to make amends. Xing Zhutou said.
"Thank you, Xing Zhutou, if it weren't for you, we would definitely not suspect that Lu Zhutou was a member of the demon clan, and there was a chance that he would follow his path when the time came. Wu Song said.
"Don't thank me, I just said, I do this, one is to repay the favor, and the other is the duty. Besides, your troubles are far from over. Xing Zhutou said.
"What do you say?" Wu Song asked.
"Those three demon clans are all demon clan heads, and now two have been killed and one has escaped. The official government of the demon clan will never give up, although it is said that the head catcher of the demon clan crossed the border to arrest people without authorization, so no matter what happens, it is the responsibility of the demon clan, and it has nothing to do with our human race.
However, the demon clan will definitely use this as an excuse to make waves. First of all, they will definitely ask our Terrans to hand over the murderers who killed those two demon clans. Xing Zhutou said.
"What will the Terran government do?" Wu Song said worriedly, "You won't really arrest us according to the Demon Clan's request, will you?"
"Naturally, it won't be at first, but if the demon clan insists and keeps putting pressure on the human race government, it's hard to say. After all, this is the Xizhou Continent, the territory of the demon race, and the human race will not be tough to the end.
If the Terrans really can't stand the pressure and want to arrest you, then you're going to be bad. Xing Zhutou said.
Wu Song pondered for a long time and said, "You just said that the Terran government would not agree to the Demon Clan's request at first, so how long will it be before they will not be able to withstand the pressure of the Demon Clan and launch a hunt for us?"
"Three days at most. Xing Zhutou said.
"That's enough, in three days, I'll get things done here, and then we'll leave Flying Rock Harbor. Wu Song said.
"In that case, it's the final result, after all, I'm the head catcher, and if the order is given to hunt you down, I really don't know what to do then. Xing Zhutou said.
"You're a good man, Xing Zhutou. Wu Song said.
"The good guys and the bad guys should be judged by others, I just know that we are all Terrans. Xing Zhutou said, "What are your plans next?"
"I'm going to investigate a mine outside the city," Wu Song said, "Sect Master, Ning Yan, and Yun Rong, just stay here and wait for my news." ”
"That's fine, it's very private, and the three of them are safe here. I come over every day to see them, you don't have to worry about them. Xing Zhutou said.
"Thank you very much," Wu Song said, "without further ado, I'll go to that mine." ”
"Wait a minute," Xing Zhutou suddenly stopped Wu Song, "You just said that the mine is outside the city, is it in a valley?"
"Xing Zhutou also knows about the mine, which is controlled by an organization called the Golden Crow Sect. Wu Song said.
"Yes, it seems that we are talking about the same place. Xing Zhu's eyes lit up and said, "I've been tracking that organization for three years, but most of them are active in Dongzhou, so I haven't found any useful clues." ”
"Then how did Xing Zhutou find out about the Golden Crow Sect?" Wu Song said.
"Three years ago, the Xizhou government came to us and said that there were constantly cherished demon beasts on the Xizhou continent that were hunted by people, and they suspected that they were committed by the human race, and the prisoners sold the hunted demon beasts to Dongzhou.
The Demon Clan's government asks to join forces with us to investigate the case together. After that, we found out about the Golden Crow Sect.
However, soon the trail was interrupted.
A year ago, we got word that a group of ore merchants might be assassinated, so we started an investigation. As a result, under the protection of the outside, the group of ore merchants was still killed, and according to various indications, the murderer was probably the Golden Crow.
I was in charge of that case, and I continued to pursue it.
About half a year ago, I found a clue that the Golden Crow Sect had killed the ore merchants in order to rob them of a mineral deposit. That deposit contains a rare kind of metastone.
At that time, I thought that the rare Yuan Stone was just a high-grade Yuan Stone, and maybe it contained more Yuan Power than the ordinary High-grade Yuan Stone, but that's all, I didn't take it seriously.
It wasn't until about two months ago that I got the news that that the rare Yuanshi was the ingredient for some kind of powerful weapon. ”
Xing Zhutou said.
"A powerful weapon?" Wu Song muttered, remembering the kind of blackstone weapon he had seen in Tianyun County. That weapon has a power similar to that of a weapon that recognizes the master, and it is indeed powerful.
Could it be that that kind of blackstone weapon was made from this rare yuan stone?
"Later, I followed the clues and found the mine in the valley. But the mine was ostensibly owned by an ore shop, which was approved by the government. Xing Zhutou said.
"That ore shop, it must be called Jinshuizhai, right?" Wu Song said.
"Yes, you also found it?" Xing Zhutou said.
Wu Song nodded and said, "Xing Zhutou, it's not that I underestimate your ability, about the case of the Golden Crow Sect, don't investigate it again, there are too many forces involved behind this matter, the water is too deep, I am worried that if you continue to investigate, your life may be in danger." ”
The Golden Crow Sect, the Heavenly Chamber of Commerce, the Jade Rabbit Sect, the Earthly Empire, the Wang Pirates, the Dongzhou Cultivation True Sect... The forces of all parties are entangled, and it is really difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, it is Wu Song, who is also confused at this time, and he can't see what the truth is.
But he can be sure that under the fog, there must be many dangers. Xing Zhutou is just an ordinary head catcher, once he is involved in this muddy water, I am afraid that there will be no return.
"I understand," Xing Zhutou said, "I have taken note of your advice, but my duty lies in it, and no matter what danger lies ahead, I cannot back down." ”
Wu Song looked at Xing Zhutou, and his eyes were a little hot. In today's materialistic era, there are really not many people like Xing Zhutou who have a pure heart.
"Well, everyone has their own ambitions, and I don't force them. Xing Zhutou, I hope we can fight side by side in the future. Wu Song said.
"Definitely. Xing Zhutou said.
With Xing Zhutou taking care of the Jade Rabbit Sect Leader Ning Yan and Yun Rong, Wu Song was very relieved. He then went to the camp of the Golden Crow Sect, and if the ore mined there was indeed the raw material for the blackstone weapon, then Wu Song would have found a way to destroy it anyway.
That Blackstone weapon was too harmful to be made in large quantities by the Golden Crow Sect.
When Wu Song arrived at the camp of the Golden Crow Sect, it was midnight, the night was dark and dreary, and a line of fish belly white had been revealed in the eastern sky.
Wu Song hid in a big tree and looked towards the camp. It was pitch black in the camp, and there were no lights to be seen.
There were no patrolling guards on the high walls, and there was not a single person in the camp, and the whole camp was silent.
Wu Song couldn't help but wonder, something was wrong, something was very wrong.
Wu Song waited for a while, but still did not see a person in the camp, and then he jumped down the tree and came to the high wall of the camp.
He grabbed the wall and jumped to the top of the wall. Standing on it and looking down at the entire camp, there was still not a single one to be seen.
Wu Song came down from the high wall and walked into the camp. The setting here is no different from when he came yesterday. He walked to the warehouse where the rough ore was kept, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was empty, and there was nothing.
In other words, the ore has been transported, so if you look at it this way, can it be said that the people of the Golden Crow Sect have already withdrawn?
Why did you want to evacuate? Yesterday Wu Song came to inspect this camp, and today all the people here have withdrawn, could it be that the people of the Golden Crow Sect have already discovered Wu Song?
But it shouldn't be. When they found Wu Song, they just needed to send someone to deal with him, and they didn't need to abandon the entire camp, which would be too costly.
Wu Song walked around the camp and looked at a few more rooms.
In one of the rooms, Wu Song saw a desk with several cabinets next to it, and when it was opened, it was empty.
There were a few pieces of paper scattered on the floor of the room, but nothing was written on them. Judging from the layout, this room should be a study, a place for office.
