The bald man of the iron tower is named Duota, who is a six-rank martial arts envoy from the former Bashu Kingdom, and it is estimated that he was forced to live in the rivers and lakes after the West Wind Country swept away the Bashu Kingdom and became a headhunter.

The thin middle-aged man is nicknamed "Brother Pole", with his hair scattered, and he is also a six-rank star envoy, according to himself, his whole body is full of weapons, which makes people very curious.

And the woman who originally had a good face, but was ruined by the slap-long scar on her cheek, also did not use her real name, but was nicknamed "Poisonous Weed". When she took off the soap veil hat, Wu Xing and the three of them all felt sorry for the scar, and when Wu Xing and the three of them heard that she admitted that she was an outcast of Baicaomen, they also roughly guessed where her skills came from, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Moreover, Poisonous Weed is a seven-rank Wen Xingjun.

In other words, the lowest grade of these three headhunters is already the seventh grade, which is where the confidence of people to go alone and go south and north, and it is also the reason why they expressed their obvious dissatisfaction with Zheng Patrol's intention to let Wu Xing and the other three join the joint unveiling and bounty action.

"The three of us count as one. Bagan keenly grasped the key to the dissatisfaction of the three headhunters and took the initiative to bring it up. If there are three people, there are actually one hundred silver taels, and if the three of them are divided equally, it is equivalent to the profit of Qin Lan's tailwind dart game.

On the Starfall Continent, silver is precious and copper is cheap. For example, in the Gyeonggi Inner History area of the West Wind Country, an ordinary family's monthly income is between two taels of silver and three taels of silver, and there is still a surplus. Based on this calculation, one hundred taels of silver is roughly equivalent to the income of an ordinary family for several years. And in a tea shop, a few copper plates can make a pot of tea stalks, and have a good rest.

The West Wind Country has successfully stabilized prices through various new policies, and Ba County and Shu County have played a non-negligible role in it. The two places in Bashu are not only high-quality grain producing areas, but also transfer the impact of copper and silver poisoning to the southward migration tide, which can be said to be the least affected by copper and silver poisoning among the six countries north of the Great Rift Valley.

The reason why Bashu can become the rear of the West Wind Country is closely related to its geographical location. In daily life, people draw a line on the sandy ground to form two slopes at both ends and a small sand dune at the end.

When the Heavenly Court fell and the stars fell on the continent, it carved out a great rift valley on the continent like this, and then piled up a Tianshan Mountain in the extreme west of the continent that reached straight into the sky! The Tianshan Mountain Range was like a barrier that extended northwest to the northern snowfield. Even when the ladder meets the Tianshan Mountains, you have to take a detour to get into the sky above the ocean.

"Let me first introduce you to the relevant information of this reward!" Inspector Zheng was noncommittal to Bagen's proposal, and directly took out a map of animal skins from a drawer under the Dharma table, spread it out on the Dharma table, and continued: "This is a Kanyu map within a radius of thirty miles from the nameless county. ”

The seven people, including Zheng Inspector, are now gathered around the Dharma table, looking at the animal skin map together.

"Nameless County?" Wu Xing said in surprise.

"Yes, the village has not yet been named. The population has exceeded 5,000, reaching the standard of establishing a county. This is actually an opportunity for us to take action this time. Inspector Zheng drew a small circle on the map of the animal skin, and said: "In the middle of the day, thousands of people in the nameless county will be gathered to levy conscription and build a city wall. After having the county seat, it can expand to the surrounding areas and raise more villages. At this time, hundreds of carts of grain, gold and silver had been accumulated in the nameless county, which were used to support the construction of the city and to pay for the expenses related to the city walls and conscription. ”

"So, are you going to lure the snake out of the hole?" said Brother Gong, drawing a larger circle on the animal skin map, and smiled.

Both Dota and Poisonweed smiled knowingly.

Bagen glanced at Zheng Xunjian, who obviously understood, and nodded lightly.

"The construction of the city wall is fake, and it is true to lure the bandits from the four nearby cottages to come and rob the grain. After the cold winter, not to mention those bandits who are not engaged in production, even those ordinary people who settled in Shu County, Ba County in the early days, have no surplus food in their homes. This year, the migrants who went south basically relied on spring plowing and autumn harvests to spend the first year of settling down, and during this year, they ate the food crops subsidized by the government. On the contrary, if the bandits did not go down the mountain to plunder, they would starve to death in the cottage. After getting his approval, Bagen casually pointed out on the map of animal skins, and said: "There is a Black Wind Village twenty miles northeast of Wuming County, with 300 bandits; there is a Qingniu Village 17 miles southeast of Wuming County, which is also about 300 bandits; across a hill from Qingniu Village, there is also a Yellow Sheep Village, and the two cottages are said to often go down the mountain to commit crimes, and they do all kinds of evil; fifteen miles southwest of Wuming County, there is a bandit named 'Tuxingsun' with an eight-rank martial star, who occupies an underground cave with dozens of minions, and often attacks passing caravans. ”

Inspector Zheng glanced at Bagen, and then said: "The owners of the three cottages you just mentioned are all Xingjun, and they are not on the reward on the announcement list, I don't know where you heard it?"

Several other people also looked at it with curiosity.

Bagen said unhurriedly: "On the way we came, we encountered more than a dozen thieves blocking the road and robbing them, and after killing a few, I heard from the mouths of the remaining thieves about the most powerful bandits in the vicinity. Those thieves originally thought that after making this order and getting money, they would go to those cottages to see which one was willing to accept them. It is said that in order to attract people into the gang, those Star Monarch Village owners made conditions that people could not refuse. ”

Hearing this, the three headhunters just looked over. Bagan spoke lightly, and "inquired" from the thief's mouth. In fact, it is far from that simple. On the Starfall Continent, it is generally recognized that "torture" is a profound science, and it is not possible to scare a few words with a big knife to get the information you need. Not only do you have to ask questions seemingly aimlessly, but you also have to identify what you need from the extremely scattered and scattered information, and at the same time, you have to distinguish the authenticity of the information, and you have to put yourself in the shoes of the torturer and take it for granted that it is the truth to "restore" it to the greatest extent...... In fact, it is a big problem just to break through the physical and psychological limits of the tortured.

"After seeing this map of Kanyu that is accurate to the stream, I guess ......," said Bagan, "After all, the bandits are just bandits, and it is impossible to advance from the main road to the nameless county in a big way." Therefore, they should only contact each other, and those cottages that can reach the vicinity of the nameless county at night. Since most of the people in the Starfall Continent suffer from an eye disease called 'Blindfolded', and according to the physical strength of those bandits, it is speculated that about twenty miles is a suitable distance, and after arriving, they can launch a wave of attacks, anyway, Nameless County now has no city walls for the time being. ”

"Now that there are no walls, will there be one when the bandits attack?" Dota finally broke the silence and asked.

Seeing that Brother Pole and Poisonous Weed had a disapproving expression on their faces, Bagan knew that Duota might be the same on the table, and he was indeed a "honest" person, so he replied: "When Qin Darthead went to make a dart, a servant then requisitioned the seven four-wheeled carts of the caravan, and promised that the carts would be returned after ten days. ”

Inspector Zheng smiled slightly and nodded, acknowledging this fact.

Bagan continued: "As I walked all the way out of the town, I found that the streets were very neatly built, like a chessboard, and apart from the main thoroughfare, which crisscrossed east and west, north and south, the roads between the other houses were also of similar width, and it was about two four-wheeled carts that could be lined up to seal off an alley. As he spoke, Bagan briefly placed the four treasures of the study, paperweights, and other items on the table: "If the number of four-wheeled carts requisitioned is sufficient, a complete 'city wall' can be laid on the streets of the nameless county." Even if necessary, this kind of 'wall' can be removed at any time, quickly transferred to other blocks, and re-formed into sections of 'ramparts' for street fighting. ”

"Although the caravan's four-wheeled carts were sturdy and able to travel north and south, and could be used for several years, they were only relatively speaking. Dota didn't fully accept Bagan's statement, and took over and said: "The roof of the car is only high, people can drill under the wheels, and the baffle on the car is just as thick as bricks, and it can be split with two more splits." It even takes three or two thieves to take a personal ladder to go directly to the roof of the car...... What is the use of such a wall?"

"That's good!" Bagen laughed, changed his words, and said, "However, according to my guess, Zheng Inspector has already made up his mind. ”

Bagen accepted it when he saw it, but Zheng Inspector had to solve Dota's problem.

"The current idea is to collect the large iron pots in people's homes, fix them on one side of the outward baffle with several iron pots, and then spread several layers of bedding on the outside, tie them firmly with hemp rope, and water them for fire prevention...... In this way, it can barely be used as a city wall. Inspector Zheng took over and said: "Among the new immigrants in the two counties of Bashu, the proportion of Minzhuang and Baoding is quite high. Since the last two months, people have been asked to go to the nearby woods to cut suitable wood to make 'clothes poles'. Well, because the length and thickness of this 'clothes pole' are specially explained, if necessary, they can be sharpened and used as spears, guarded high on the roof, or lined up for defense."

"Inspector Zheng only took office today, but he was already a prophet two months ago, amazing, amazing!" Wu Xing praised, but his tone and expression seemed to be disapproving.

"This is the advice given by the family when he learned that the official was about to fill the vacancy of the post of inspector, and he was just prepared. Inspector Zheng continued casually: "Now that we have discussed with all the elders and adults in the nameless county, there will be more than 800 people who have gone through the war to join the operation. In addition to the 'clothes pole', kitchen knives, nail rakes, hoes, and shovels can all be used, and those bandits are not regular troops after all. ”

Brother Gong inevitably asked, "Then what do we need to do?"
