As soon as Dou Xu entered the mountain, Qingmu Ying knew that the government was not here to walk around this time, the army of seven thousand, and now there is no bandit in this mountain forest who can resist, including his Five Immortal Village, but it is impossible to find the murderer among the hundreds of bandits in the vast mountains in ten days.

"Your Excellency... There is a plan below, I don't know if it is feasible. The blue-eyed eagle wiped the sweat from his face and bowed.

"Speak."

"In the name of my Five Immortal Village, I can ask the leaders of all parties in the mountains to come to the banquet, and then the adults can check them one by one, if anyone does not come, it means that he has a ghost in his heart, so that the adults will have a clear goal."

Yang Yi can be sure that this bandit Qingmu Ying and Dou Xu have long been old acquaintances, and they know the relationship between them with their toes, and Qingmu Ying gives Dou Xu benefits, so as to get Dou Xu's protection in some aspects.

This is a typical collusion between officials and bandits, so far Yang Yi finally really felt how the muddy waters of Chengzhou Mansion were bottomless, and in less than two months, he had already seen the complex relationship network between officials and businessmen, officials and bandits, and bandits and businessmen.

Standing in the troubled waters, it is impossible to tell who is a good person, maybe here, it will be difficult for a good person to survive, including Su Fu usually sends silver to the government and bandits, this has formed a potential rule, and anyone who does not dissolve in this rule will be abandoned.

Of course, Yang Yi didn't want to let himself fall into the quagmire, he came to touch the fish, as long as he figured out the structure of the muddy water, he could always find a big fish.

"How? Is that him? ”

When Qingmu Ying returned to the bandit team to lead the way in front, Dou Xu asked without looking back.

Yang Yi stared at the back of the blue-eyed eagle, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "No, the blue scar on this person's forehead is very conspicuous, it must not be him." ”

Dou Xu nodded and didn't speak, and didn't seem to be too surprised, and ordered the army behind to follow the bandits to the deep mountains.

The bandits led the way in front, Dou Xu led the army to follow behind, and after walking for most of the day, he turned around nine curves and eighteen turns, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

Yang Yi looked up and couldn't help but be a little stunned, there was a wide col in front of him, where the woods were dense, the air was warm, there were a lot of flourishing flowers and plants in winter, and there were countless birds, beasts, bats flying back and forth in the col, like a dangerous situation in the world.

In the middle of the col, there is a big village around the col, Yang Yi finally knows why the green eagle claims to be the Five Immortal Village, it turns out that the cottage is built around five small peaks, a bit like the Five Finger Mountain, the five finger-like peaks are disorderly in the forest.

Yang Yi secretly said in his heart: This blue-eyed eagle is also good at finding a site, and the environment here can be described as extremely elegant.

The cottage is not big, not as big as Cangyun Village that Yang Yi has seen before, according to the house, there are about more than 1,000 people in Wuxian Village, but unlike Cangyun Village, Yang Yi almost did not see any old and weak women and children in Wuxian Village, basically they are all fierce and vicious bandits, although the eyes of the officers and soldiers are a little worried, but there is no fear.

This is a real bandit village, not a refuge for mountain people like Cangyun Village.

In Yang Yi's view, it is definitely a gonzo that the officials and the bandits are stationed in the same village without violating each other. However, Dou Xu did just that, although Qingmu Ying tried his best to resist, but in the face of absolute strength, he had to make concessions.

Qingmu Ying promised to let the official army enter Wuxian Village, but reached an agreement with Dou Xu that the two sides would be stationed on one side and not interfere with the other party without reason.

In this way, a strange scene was formed in the Five Immortal Village, where 7,000 Chengzhou officials and more than 1,000 Wuxian Village bandits each occupied a mountainside, and chickens and dogs heard each other but did not get along with each other.

Yang Yi asked Captain Meng to arrange a remote location for Monkey Jian'er and others to set up camp, saying that it was convenient for everyone to open a small stove to eat and drink, in fact, Yang Yi felt that he would definitely have a lot of things to do, if he was stationed in the Chinese army, he would only be afraid to act.

After a simple order, Yang Yi followed Dou Xu to the reception banquet set up by Qingmu Ying, if it was normal, as a literati and a state Sima, Dou Xu absolutely disdained to drink with a group of bandits, which was obviously a bit insulting to his identity, that is, the bandits went to Chengzhou Mansion to give Dou Xu gifts in the past, and Dou Xu only saw the last person and received the gift and sent it away, and never said a word to the bandits.

Today's promise to Qingmu Ying's banquet is completely because he needs Qingmu Ying to help him find out the gang of bandits, and at the same time, the big and small leaders of the Five Immortal Villages at the banquet will be present, so that Yang Yi can secretly observe and see if there are any familiar ones.

After a banquet, Yang Yi looked over one by one in the corner, but he didn't see anyone similar to the masked leader that day, and he didn't find anything abnormal, but if it was really a case committed by Qingmu Eagle, he didn't dare to let Dou Xu enter the village.

In the evening, the banquet dispersed, Dou Xu took everyone back to the barracks, and Yang Yi followed.

Dou Xu, who walked in front with a reddish complexion, said coldly: "Jiaxian nephew." ”

Yang Yi hurriedly took two quick steps, leaned behind Dou Xu and bowed his head and said, "The student is here." ”

"If you have nothing to do in the past few days, you will go around the cottage more, I will say hello to the green eye, no one dares to stop you, if you have any requirements, just put it forward." Dou Xu said.

Yang Yi naturally understood what Dou Xu meant, and the only one among the officers and soldiers who had seen the murderous bandits at the post station was Yang Yi.

Yang Yi hurriedly bowed: "Don't worry, my lord, the student will do his best to help the adult solve the case and bring the thief to justice." ”

Dou Xu nodded and said, "Hmm... From today onwards, you will be my student, and in a few days the bandits on the Shu Road will come to Wuxian Village one after another, and then you will go to receive it for me, so you must take a closer look. ”

Yang Yi pretended to be happy and said, "The student thanked the teacher." ”

Dou Xu didn't speak, waved his hand lightly to signal that Yang Yi could go back to rest, and went straight to the camp himself.

Looking at the figure of Dou Xu leaving, Yang Yi felt more and more that his jade ring must be very important, and a powerful state Sima accepted him, an outsider who had never seen two sides, as a student, which was enough to show Dou Xu's sense of urgency.

The camp tent of Yang Yi and others was indeed arranged by Captain Meng in an inconspicuous corner at the back of the barracks, and when Yang Yi came back, Hou Jian'er and the others had been waiting for a long time.

Everyone sat down around the stove, and Monkey Jian'er asked anxiously, "Childe, is there no situation?" ”

Yang Yi took off the shawl on his body and handed it to Tie Niu, shook his head and said, "No, it's basically certain that those bandits are not from Wuxian Village." ”

Monkey Jian'er said: "I also inquired at night, Wuxian Village is the largest group of Shu Dao bandits, and secretly has always had an unclear relationship with the government, this time Dou Xu and Qingmu Ying jointly invited Shuzhong bandits to participate in the Juying banquet, I believe that many bandits will gather here, do you say Dou Xu will serve these people in a pot?" ”

Yang Yi flipped his palm and baked it by the fire, and said with a smile: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink, if Dou Xu wanted to deal with the bandits, he would have been able to do it many years ago." ”

Monkey Jian'er said: "Eradicating the Shu Dao bandits, this is a great achievement." ”

"The food chain of officials, bandits and businessmen has been deeply rooted in Shuzhong, and everyone is disconnected, no one can easily break it, or no one is willing to break it."

"Then there is no cure for this situation? It's the first time I've seen officials and bandits drink together. Monkey Jian'er laughed.

Yang Yi took out a handful of melon seeds from his arms, sprinkled some on the stool next to him for coffee, peeled one off and put it in his mouth, threw the melon seed shell into the stove, and immediately burned.

"It's not that there is no cure, to break the food chain, you need people outside the food chain to do it, and you can have no scruples without entanglements of interests." Yang Yidao.

"Childe, do you mean us?" Hu Shou said suspiciously.

Yang Yi said noncommittally: "But this matter is very difficult to operate, if you want to reorganize the food chain, you need to challenge the officials, businessmen and bandits in the entire Shu, which is why before entering Shu, they told me that the officials who came to office in the past have not died well." ”

Everyone fell into deep thought, and they all seemed to feel the difficulty of wanting to gain a foothold in Shuzhong.

Seeing this, Yang Yi smiled and said: "Don't be too discouraged, there are still many opportunities, and so far we are still in the shadows, this is where our advantage lies, when I find out how thick the mud here is, it will be the day we clean up the dirt." ”

Tie Niu was confused when he heard this, and said in a daze: "It's too troublesome, anyway, whoever you say to beat, we will beat whoever we want, where are so many moths!" ”

"Haha!!" The crowd burst into laughter.

Yang Yi straightened his body and said with a smile: "Anyway, everyone should be careful, just don't expose yourself too much, these days you have to find out the details of these five immortal villages, I always feel that something will happen this time, and it is good for us to know more things." ”

In the next few days, Yang Yi wandered around the Five Immortals Village every day without incident, and with Dou Xu's warrant, he was almost unimpeded.

But when Yang Yi went around Wuxian Village, he found that there was no strange place here, and he didn't find any suspicious people, of course, Yang Yi didn't expect him to find anything so blatantly, he looked forward to the secret investigation of Hu Shou and others.

In the evening of this day, Yang Yi took Monkey Jian'er and Tie Niu to wander around the village, many people greeted him along the way, and now the entire military camp knows that this son surnamed A is the new favorite student of Lord Sima Dou, of course everyone doesn't know why Dou Xu uses Yang Yi so much, but no one will provoke him anyway, more to stammer.

"Gongzi Jia, come out for a walk?"

"Hello Gongzi Jia, I'll fight the master book of two games another day!"

Yang Yi walked with his hands behind his back, and when someone greeted him, he returned the salute one by one, looking really polite and polite.

"This place shouldn't be called Wuxian Village, it should be called Wuzhi Mountain." Yang Yi stood on the mountainside, looked at the five-finger-like hill and smiled.

The monkey behind him glanced at the hill in the distance, nodded and said, "It's really like five fingers." ”
