Chapter 137: Promise Heavy Profits
"Brother Zhang, can you do this?"
Wang Bochao looked directly at Li Qiu and asked.
Li Qiu nodded and said, "Yes, I did go there in the morning, but Brother Wang suspects that I have something to do with that murder?"
Wang Bochao shook his head and smiled: "No, there are traces of Yin Qi erosion on the corpse of that family, and it was obviously killed by Yin ghosts, how can I suspect you, Brother Zhang." ”
"Yin Qi Erosion?"
Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly, thinking of the black qi that night he touched the hands of the yin ghost, and the flesh of his palms became shrunk and blackened.
"That black qi should be yin qi. ”
However, when he killed this Yin Ghost today, he didn't see any black qi coming out of him.
"What does Brother Wang mean ?......"
Li Qiu asked tentatively.
"I wanted to ask Brother Zhang if he had seen that yin ghost, and did he know which direction that yin ghost was going?" Wang Bochao asked back.
Li Qiu pondered for a moment and said.
"Brother Wang really doesn't hide it, when I walked through that long alley, I happened to bump into that yin ghost coming out of that family's house. ”
"As soon as the Yin ghost saw me, he went crazy and pounced on me, and I fought with the Yin ghost and finally killed him. ”
"Dead?
It's okay to save me a lot of work. ”
Wang Bochao muttered, raised his head and hugged his fists and smiled at Li Qiu.
"I would like to thank Brother Zhang for his righteous action, get rid of the yin ghosts, and restore the peace of the people of Shangjiang City. ”
Wang Bochao's expression was sincere.
This is not an exaggeration, if the Yin ghosts are made to flee and disappear, and from time to time they will come out and kill the people, sooner or later it will cause panic in Shangjiang City.
And as the more lives you kill, the more yin qi you absorb, the more powerful the yin ghost will be, and it will not be so easy to deal with him at that time.
Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly and asked.
"Brother Wang, I wonder what happened to the yin ghost who killed my father last time?"
Hearing Li Qiu mention this question, a trace of worry appeared on Wang Bochao's tired face, and he sighed a little dejectedly.
"After that day, I led the hunters to search for the whereabouts of the Yin Ghost in a radius of hundreds of miles near Shangjiang City, but found nothing. ”
"A few days ago, that Yin Ghost appeared and slaughtered another village!"
Wang Bochao suddenly said a shocking news.
"After killing hundreds of people one after another, I suspect that the Yin Ghost should have regained its strength, and if I don't find that Yin Ghost as soon as possible, I may not be his opponent soon. ”
Wang Bochao speculated.
"It's just that the ghost is sinister and cunning hiding in the shadows, and I can't find him even if I want to. ”
"Originally, there was news from the Yamen today that there was a tragedy in the city, I thought it was the yin ghost who entered Shangjiang City, and hurried back to Shangjiang City with the catchers, but after the on-site investigation, it was found that it was not the yin ghost who did it. ”
"That's right......"
As he spoke, Wang Bochao seemed to suddenly remember something.
"I came to find Brother Zhang today, there is a small matter and a big thing, although the search for the ghost who did the tragedy is not small, but compared with another matter, it is a little insignificant. ”
A flash of doubt flashed in Li Qiu's eyes.
"Brother Wang, please speak. ”
"Brother Zhang knows that there is a group of bandits outside Shangjiang City, gathered in Feiyun Village on Feiyun Mountain in the north, usually plundering passing caravans, bullying and exploiting the villagers of villages near Shangjiang City, and doing all kinds of evil in a domineering manner. ”
Li Qiu nodded, of course he knew.
Which of the villages near Shangjiang City does not have the notoriety of Feiyun Village.
Feiyunzhai ordered the villages near Shangjiang City to pay them a certain amount of food, gold and silver every year, and if they didn't do it, they would kill half of the people in the village, and if they didn't do it next time, they would slaughter the entire village.
That yin ghost was eager to recover from his injuries and slaughtered two villages, which could only be said to be a small amount compared to the evil deeds that Feiyun Village had committed.
Feiyun Village is just a group of robbers in the hearts of the people in Shangjiang City, but in the hearts of the people in the villages and towns near Shangjiang City, it is a group of demons who kill people without blinking.
Because Zhangjiacun is very close to Shangjiang City, it has not been "visited" by Feiyunzhai since it was spared, but Li Qiu still heard of the notoriety of Feiyunzhai.
Seeing Li Qiu nodding, Wang Bochao continued.
"Feiyun Village has always been a big trouble for the city lord and the school captain, but the Feiyun Village lord is strong, and the school captain can't help the other party, and every time he attacks Feiyun Village, it is in vain. ”
"The day before yesterday, we received news that the owner of Feiyun Village seemed to have been seriously injured in a battle with an unknown powerful warrior. ”
"It's just that we can't be sure whether this news is true or not, and we can't rush to send troops. ”
"If the news is true, this is naturally a great time to eradicate Feiyun Village.
"But I'm afraid that the news is false, everything is a trap for the owner of Feiyun Village, who wants to lead us to send troops to ambush us secretly, and we rashly send troops to play into the hands of the other party. ”
"Or maybe it's just a rumor, let's not end up sending troops out of the city to attack Feiyun Village because of an unfounded rumor, and burying the lives of so many soldiers in vain. ”
"So we want to confirm the truth of this news before deciding whether to send troops. ”
Li Qiu was a little puzzled, why did the matter of confirming the truth of the news find his head.
Wang Bochao looked at the confusion on Li Qiu's face and explained.
"Some time ago, the youngest son of Xu Chang, one of the most beloved wealthy businessmen in Shangjiang City, went to visit relatives in other places and came back, and was robbed by Feiyun Village on the way. ”
"Feiyunzhai sent someone to Xu's house and said that he would ask for 300,000 taels of silver, pay money with one hand and hand over to people, otherwise he would tear up the ticket and kill Xu Chang's youngest son, and throw the body into the wild to feed the wolves. ”
The man also said that he would find a person who had not practiced martial arts to go up the mountain to pay the ransom, otherwise he would also tear up the ticket. ”
Wang Bochao paused when he said this, with a little smile on his face.
"Brother Zhang, although he was accepted as an introductory disciple by Pavilion Master Chen, after all, it has not been a few days, and it cannot be said that he has practiced martial arts. ”
"So Lord Duwei asked me to come to you, Brother Zhang, hoping that you can help the Xu family send the ransom to Feiyun Mountain, and also do us a favor to find out the truth of Yan Zhenbei, the owner of Feiyun Village, to see if he is indeed seriously injured as he said in the news. ”
Li Qiu frowned slightly, quietly waiting for Wang Bochao's next step.
He knew that Wang Bochao must still have something to say.
Because of such a dangerous thing, Wang Bochao also knew that the friendship between them had only met once, and it was impossible to impress him with such a shallow friendship and let him do it.
As for Guan Hao's order and the Yamen threatening him to do this, it is even more impossible.
Although he is young and has low strength, he is also the fourth disciple of the beginner whom Chen Mao accepted by Chen Mao without an exception, and he is not something that can be kneaded by others.
Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.
Guan Hao and Wang Bochao wanted him to do this, but they only promised heavy profits to impress him......
