Chapter 2 The Killing of Thieves

"What has Nan'er been doing lately? But what's out of the ordinary? After the meal, Lou Danfeng had something to leave, but Sang Baihua did not get up, he sat alone and pondered for a while, and then said as if talking to himself.

A deep voice suddenly came from the side: "Lord Yu, during this time, the third young master has been practicing during the day and reading at night as usual, but every seven days, he will take the maid out of the house and stay in the Min family's flower house for half a day, it doesn't look abnormal." ”

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Sang Baihua showed a trace of disdain on his face, and said with a sneer: "Practice, is he also called practice?" ”

The voice was silent for a moment, and then continued: "According to the observation of his subordinates, the third young master's kung fu of catching sparrows seems simple, but it requires the use of hands, feet, body, and eyes, and has high requirements for the flexibility, coordination and reaction of the body. ”

"You don't need to cover it up for him, to put it bluntly, it's just an escape effort! Alas, let's talk about other news! Sang Baihua rubbed his temples and seemed to feel a little headache.

"Yes!" The voice answered, and continued: "In recent years, my subordinates have sent people to keep an eye on the Min family's flower house, and finally discovered an interesting thing not long ago-"

"Oh? Tell me about it! ”

"The owner of the flower house has a younger sister, who is born with a beautiful national color, and often attracts a group of ruffians in the city, and every once in a while she comes to the door to molest and harass. It stands to reason that the master should report to the official or use some other means, but nothing happened between the two parties. When his subordinates heard about this, they were suspicious, so they secretly caught a ruffian and came over to ask, at first the man was hard-mouthed, and then ...... Cough...... Later, his subordinates used some means, and he finally told the truth, it turned out that these ruffians were all peripheral personnel of a bounty group, specially responsible for probing and transmitting information, and every time he went to the flower house, he was actually just handing over the task. To the surprise of his subordinates, none of these ruffians knew the name of this bounty group! ”

"Oh? A bounty group can be so mysterious! Could it be some intention? "Sang Baihua secretly thought that the bounty group is an ancient organization that relies on completing the tasks issued by the client to obtain bounties as a means of livelihood. In layman's terms, it is a mercenary group. The Moya Continent has a vast territory, and there are tens of thousands of bounty groups, and the strong naturally live a good life, while the weak are forced to make a living, and they often do things that are not visible. So it's also a mixed and chaotic industry.

"And what did you find?"

"The subordinates then sent people to investigate the bounty missions that appeared around Binglan City in the past three years, and then compared them with the time when those ruffians appeared, and only then did they find a suspicious target!"

……

The "Gray Sparrow" bounty regiment, founded in 990 of the Xia Yuan calendar, was originally called the "Iron Fist" regiment, and the head of the regiment, Li Yuanru, was originally a military guard and a sixth-level wrestler. In 991 of the Xia Yuan calendar, the regiment was heavily damaged in the course of its mission, and its members were completely damaged, and it was renamed "Gray Sparrow" after reorganization. At present, it is known that there are five core members, who are codenamed with thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger, and it is speculated that Li Yuanru is one of them, and the real identities of the others are unknown. At first, his reputation was not obvious, and he only caught some chickens and dogs and thieves, and earned some meager bounties, and the largest transaction object was Wu Xiaoxi, who captured Leprosy Town, and received a bounty of 300 gold coins.

In the year 992 of the Xia Yuan calendar, the strength suddenly skyrocketed, and the specific reason is unknown.

In March, he captured the giant thief "Hidden Arrow is Hard to Prevent" Cao Qiu and received a bounty of 1,000 gold coins.

In April, he killed "King Kong" Saru, who ranked 1937th on the Moya bounty list, and received a bounty of 2,000 gold coins, and became famous in a fight.

……

The year 993 of the Xia Yuan calendar

In April, he captured the second boss of the horse thief Storm Troupe, killed the third boss Bear Resentment, and received a bounty of 4,000 gold coins.

In June, he killed Byron, the 1,687th Priest of the Temple Rebellion and ranked 1,687th on the Moya bounty list, and received a bounty of 5,000 gold coins.

……

In December, it ranked 83rd in the latest federal bounty group (100 people) ranking.

……

In the year 995 of the Xia Yuan calendar, he ranked 18th in the ranking of the federal bounty group, and since then he has become famous and entered the ranks of the free federal high-level bounty group.

The scope of the group's activities is mainly limited to Binglan City and surrounding cities, and in recent years, with the rise in ranking, there has been a trend of covering the entire Free Federation, but they only shoot at the official bounty targets, but never accept assassinations, kidnappings, escorts, etc. So far, it has been shot 284 times, and a total of 405 robbers have been arrested, so it is also known as the "killing group" in the industry.

The group acted secretively, and it was initially speculated that the Min Flower House might be one of its intelligence points.

The number of people on the periphery is small, presumably around 500.

……

After Sang Baihua finished reading the information sorted out by his subordinates, he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly. He knew the weight of Moya's bounty list very well. This is a set of wanted bounties officially announced by Kashya, and the number of people has always remained at 2,000. The people on the list are all wanted and arrested by the entire Moya Continent, and the famous felons, Mei Jingfeng, the "Northern Sword Saint" in the "Sword Twin Saints" around him, once occupied the 286th place on the Moya bounty list, and he was also the master of murder back then. Later, he was defeated by his design and surrendered willingly, only to become his right-hand man.

For a person in power like Sang Baihua, who governs one side, it is inevitable to deal with people of all religions and nine ranks. As the saying goes, snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths. The people at the bottom of the society are mixed, and they are often indispensable for inquiring about news and tracking and stalking, and in the market, all kinds of gossip are mixed in, and people with a heart can often find more valuable clues from it.

"It would be nice if such a team could be used by me!"

Sang Baihua is well aware of the importance of underground forces, and there is no shortage of dark forces in his hands, and the intelligence agency of Binglan City, the Feng Group, has dealt with these people a lot. The reason why he became interested in this "gray sparrow" bounty group was because of their clear way of doing good and evil. "The Grey Sparrow" did not do anything shady to survive like some of the other bounty groups. And the title of "killing thieves" will make them destined to become the public enemy of Moya's bounty list! It's not hard to understand why they act so low-key and mysterious.

"Grey sparrows? What a quirky name! Sang Baihua muttered to himself, frowning and groaning.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a playful smile. That treacherous and cunning appearance makes it difficult to connect with the usually righteous and awe-inspiring city lord.

"Why don't you test it first?"

"Min Dongjun, born in 974 in the Xia Yuan calendar, his ancestral home is in Hetian Town, Qingzhou County, and his ancestors and grandchildren are all medicine farmers for three generations, with a clean background, in 990 years of the Xia Yuan calendar, he came to Binglan City to escape the war. He is now the owner of the Min Flower House. This is the information recorded in the family register.

Mei Dongli was originally a native of the dense forest town in the northeast of the Tianling Mountains, and for generations he made a living by picking ginseng, and his father relied on his kung fu to catch a 500-year-old treasure ginseng "Lingqier" under the cliff in the depths of the Tianling Mountains, and was known as the "King of Ginseng" in the local area. But six years ago, when he went into the mountains alone in the snow to collect ginseng, he was ambushed by a group of ginseng pickers and died of serious injuries!

Mei Dongli remembered that his father ran home covered in blood and died after a while. He saw something in the box behind his father's back that had killed him - it was the symbiotic brother of Bao Shen's "Ling'er", "Lingtong'er". As the saying goes, seven taels are ginseng, eight taels are treasures, and this spirit boy is afraid that it is more than four meters long and two catties heavy. I remember that my father once joked after drinking that if Mei Dongli wanted to marry the beautiful chick of Li Yuanwai's family, he would have to count on the "spirit boy". Dad's words at that time made him red-faced, but his heart was also on fire.

In order to avoid those ginseng pickers, he could only bury his father in a hurry, carry the "spirit boy" on his back, and flee north with his mother and sister Dong En. Who wants to be outside Binglan City, the family is still surrounded by those ginseng pickers, his martial arts are from the family tradition, and his light skills are particularly good, but the other party relies on the large number of people and beats him all over his body. When he was dying, it was Gongzi who led someone to save his life, heal his injuries, and pay him to open a flower house in Binglan City, so that he and his family have settled down since then.

Because of his father's death, Mei Dongli has never been able to let go, and he has been depressed for a long time. Childe later heard about it and found him and said, "Because you're not strong enough!" ”

Since then, he has become a member of the "Grey Sparrow", codenamed "Little Flower".
