Chapter 14: The Death of the Eight Catchers

Beishan is not a mountain, but a group of mountains.

The mountain is not high and not steep.

Therefore, there are three major towns on the mountain, wind, fire and clouds, which guard the east, south and west directions respectively.

And around the three major towns, there are thirty-six villages.

At first glance, Beishan is a blessed land.

Entrenched in dragons and crouching tigers.

The mountains are rich in fertile fields, and the streams are beautiful.

The trees are diverse and the fruits are sweet.

Not to mention the animals running all over the mountain, there are also iron ore breeding.

But it is precisely because of the abundance of materials that since ancient times, the three major towns on the North Mountain have been at odds.

Because of these things, the three major towns and 36 villages often have contradictions.

Originally, this kind of fighting, as long as no one died, the Yamen Branch of Qianshui City stationed in Beishan, as well as the official government of Qianshui City, would be a peacemaker and turn a blind eye.

However, just half a month ago, there were more than a dozen villages under the jurisdiction of Fengye Town on the north mountain.

Suddenly, the whole village died mysteriously.

As a result, Wind Leaf Town suspected that it was the poisoner of the other two towns.

Because a few years ago, a village under the jurisdiction of Fengye Town, because of some land disputes.

The village under the jurisdiction of the other two towns that competed with it for land threw poison into the well, and drugged the entire village to death.

As soon as this incident came out, Wind Leaf Town pointed the finger at the other two towns.

And there was such a big incident, the Yamen branch stationed in Beishan reported to the general yamen of Qianshui City as soon as possible.

After getting the news, the chief yamen also issued a task as soon as possible and sent a catcher to check.

Lige met Nan Su in a mechanical ox cart more than ten days ago, and she was actually the one who took over the case.

However, as Nan Su went to Beishan to investigate, he found that things were far from as simple as he imagined.

It wasn't the poisonous hand of the other two towns that Fengye Town suspected, so she asked the South Yamen to which she belonged, and transferred five catchers to assist her.

But just yesterday, five fast catchers who went to assist Nansu, and three fast catchers from the Beishan Yamen Branch.

When he went to investigate a village under the jurisdiction of Yunxi Town, he suddenly did not return overnight.

And just this morning, when the three remaining catchers of the Beishan Yamen went to look for it,

At the entrance of that village, I suddenly saw a scene that made the three of them cold.

I saw that the eight catchers who went to this village yesterday were all hanged on a big tree in front of the village at this time.

The most important thing is that Nan Xu, who is the chief person in charge of this case, has also lost contact.

......

After leaving the Ghost Fog Mountain, he picked up the horse from the post station at the foot of the mountain and galloped towards the North Mountain.

However, when he rode his horse to the Yamen branch of Thousand Waters City, which was built on a hill south of Beishan.

From afar, I saw a group of people surrounding in front of the yamen, to be precise, to catch fast.

Even the chief catcher Tai'an is among them.

And just after coming to the yamen of the branch, the scene in front of him made him stunned there for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.

Looking at the eight corpses lying neatly on the ground, Lige's heartbeat stopped.

He didn't know what had happened, but he knew how serious the consequences were.

This is not an ordinary person, but a yamen with extraordinary strength.

From the gloomy face of the head hunter on the side, it can be seen that the anger in his heart is like a volcano about to erupt.

There are very few transcendents in Thousand Waters City, and even fewer can enter the yamen on errands.

Every catcher is a valuable asset of the Yamen, and in the past few years, not necessarily a catcher has died in the line of duty.

Now he has sacrificed eight people at once, which is not only a loss, but also a weakening of the power of the yamen, as well as a great provocation.

However, Tai'an still restrained himself, as the leader of the Yamen of Thousand Water City.

He knows very well that the more this time, the more calm he must be.

Especially in front of many subordinates, as well as the mayors of the three towns of Wind, Fire, and Cloud.

He gradually suppressed his anger, and he had to calmly understand the ins and outs of the whole thing.

So he asked the three mayors of Beishan in a very calm tone.

The three mayors of Beishan are all ordinary people, but they are not ordinary ordinary people, they are all children who have practiced martial arts for many years.

As the age increases, the hair is gray. The mayor of Yunxi Town, whose body is full of tigers.

He has a pair of eagles, but he can open mountains and gravel, and steel plates a few centimeters thick can penetrate them.

Ordinary Realm Beginner Transcendents who fought with them may not always be their opponents.

is also like the mayor of Fengye Town, although he is over fifty years old, his body is burly and powerful, and his eyes are cold.

A hundred-pound knife can instantly chop twelve fallen leaves when swinged.

It is said that he once single-handedly repelled three transcendent bandits of the first rank of the First Realm.

As for the last mayor of Fire Whispering Town, legend has it that he defeated a high-level transcendent.

In other words, with Lige's current strength, if he meets the mayor of Fire Whisper Town, there is a chance that he will be killed.

But in front of Tai'an, these three village chiefs are not enough.

At the moment, they all bowed their heads slightly, standing there complimentingly.

Hearing Tai'an's question, the three of them answered cautiously.

For fear of saying something wrong, he would make the chief catcher angry and put them directly in prison.

After all, this incident was first caused by several villages under the jurisdiction of three towns.

Subsequently, the entire village of a village under the jurisdiction of Fengye Town died, and the Yamen of Thousand Waters City intervened quickly.

As a result, when I came to investigate the case now, eight people died.

This made the three of them very scared in their hearts.

The most important thing is that the village that these eight people went to investigate is now empty.

So the responsibility fell on the three mayors, especially the mayor of Yunxi Town.

Because the village where the eight catchers went before they died was a village under his jurisdiction.

Now that eight of them are dead, the people in that village have suddenly disappeared.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a conspiracy.

Fortunately, Tai'an didn't arrest him directly because of this.

Instead, the mayors of the three towns were called together and asked about the ins and outs of the whole thing.

......

I was stunned for five or six minutes before I came back to my senses.

Listening to the chief catcher's questioning of the three mayors, he finally figured out how these eight catchers died.

But what makes Lige wonder is where Nanxu went.
