Chapter 40: Exploitation

As soon as Yang Chong entered the city, he felt a different atmosphere.

Men in armor and weapons patrol the streets, and shops on the once bustling streets are closed. When the group of people saw Yang Chong coming back from outside the city, they immediately surrounded him, not interrogating Yang Chong at all, but directly arresting him.

"Rebels, Investigators!" The identity credentials were directly revealed, and the momentum of Yang Chong's three turns swept past several people, and suddenly this group of people who were eager to arrest all the people walking on the street had no choice but to retreat.

This different atmosphere made Yang Chong return to the He Chamber of Commerce for the first time.

As soon as he came back, He Banyun invited Yang Chong to enter, and said in a low voice: "You can come back, just now, a big incident happened in Cangling City. ”

"What's the matter?" Yang Chong asked.

"Since just now, the direct descendants of the Baili family and the people in their respective shops have been assassinated in turn, and when we heard about it, there were already five people, and now the Baili family Yue Yan has sent all their people to look for all the suspicious people."

Yang Chong frowned: "What kind of strength are the people in their family, are these one-turn and two-turn lines on the street?" ”

He Banyun smiled bitterly: "But whoever comes out to do things, of course, is the strength of the first and second turns." According to those who saw it, the strength of the assassins was not strong, and several of them even died. But these people are well-trained, just like these people who come out on patrol, and it is very likely that they are all good hands that have been trained by the regular army. ”

At this time, another person outside the door came nervously, and he whispered in shock on his face: "Oh no, no, it's something big again!" ”

"When that group of people came to our chamber of commerce to search just now, he sent the searchers away." He Banyun explained first and then said: "You calm down, the people of the Baili family have been assassinated several times, and no matter how big it is, it is just that people from other forces have done it, and the murderer has been found?" ”

This person hurriedly shook his head, nodded to Yang Chong before saying, "No, President, you don't know, the people of the City Lord's family were also assassinated!" ”

"City Lord?" He Banyun shook his head in surprise: "Impossible, the city lord is the leader of the rebels here, his subordinates should be at the level of the regular army, and when they go out, there are no less than three people, who can ......"

He Banyun explained more to Yang Chong, and while she was talking, someone suddenly knocked on the door, waking up He Banyun and the people standing in the courtyard. Because of what had happened before, no one could continue to stay in their own room for fear that something would happen.

But because of their nervousness, they didn't feel that anyone was approaching.

The person standing at the door glanced at He Banyun, glanced at Yang Chong, and didn't dare to open the door.

There was no need for Yang Chong to comfort them, and the people outside the door reported to themselves: "Is the investigator here, I am passing a message below, the city lord is invited!" ”

"In!" Yang Chong guessed that the other party was either a rebel or a member of the Baili family, so he immediately walked towards the door and said in a low voice: "This matter should have nothing to do with you, each of you should pay careful attention." ”

It seems that because Yang Chong, the investigator, was invited, and the people who were still some captains heard the words of someone who knew the inside story halfway, and they were slightly comforted in their hearts.

The gate opened, and Yang Chong left side by side with the men outside the door dressed in the capable clothes of the rebels.

As the leader of the rebel army, the city lord Huo Jin once rebelled because he belonged to the regular army, and he also had a considerable number of subordinates with reliable strength. At this time, this messenger has the strength of the second turn, and he can be regarded as a good hand.

This person saw Yang Chong's strength three times, and he was a rare investigator, and according to Huo Jin's previous explanation, he briefly recounted what happened just now.

"In the morning, the people in charge of the shops of the Baili family would make rounds at different points of the time to take care of their own property, and it was then that many assassinations took place in the city. These people pinched the time point and did it when they couldn't be notified for a short time after what happened around them, but their strength was high and low, and the people of the Baili family had practiced, and only a small number of people succeeded. ”

"Also just now, there was a person who also shot at our people, his strength exceeded three turns, and he shot cleanly, and several brothers who went out died."

After this person finished speaking briefly, he didn't say a word, and when Yang Chong and the other party returned to the City Lord's Mansion, they were led to the City Lord by others.

In the person's narration just now, Yang Chong could hear that the person who did it didn't know what the purpose was, if he wanted to cause a conflict between the rebels and the Baili family, shouldn't he be prepared with the means to lead the way to the east, how could he act so easily.

And at this time, he was called over by the other party, and Yang Chong knew that the city lord Huo Jin had something to say to himself.

Sitting in the room and waiting for a stick of incense, Yang Chong didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. If it's an attempt to make yourself nervous before you say something, unfortunately the idea itself is problematic.

It didn't take long for Huo Jin to come to the house, and as soon as the other party came, he praised him: "I can't imagine that the investigator really has some strength, and he can actually level Langton Mountain City alone, that place is a headache for our rebels, and it is really not easy to do this." ”

As soon as he came up, he didn't say a word about the previous orcs, but talked about things he had never heard of, and Yang Chong's expression was slightly moved.

This Huo Jin is really a bit capable, and now at a glance, he knows that he is the nominal city lord, and he can actually know the more secret things that have happened in the past few days. However, there may be a lot, for example, after the people of the Baili family found out, they colluded with the people in front of them, or it was possible that his subordinates were wandering around, and they happened to find those Bian Yi's subordinates who were let go by him at the beginning.

There is no conclusion that proves all this, and the matter cannot be conclusive.

Yang Chong said ambiguously after being slightly surprised: "It's just luck, something else happened." I don't know why the city lord came to me? ”

"Investigators were invited, of course, to investigate something." City Lord Huo Jin said and took out a map: "After the report of the spies I sent just now, I already know that in this location, it is where those people are, and now I have no available people, I hope you can investigate the news of those people, and want me to report after you have a conclusion." ”

Although he said something like a please, Huo Jin's tone was already an order.

After Yang Chong accepted this quietly on the surface, he turned around and immediately left the City Lord's Mansion and walked towards the place he said.

Leaving the City Lord's Mansion two streets, Yang Chong's speed increased. With his induction, he dodged the soldiers patrolling Bailijia on the road, and Yang Chong began to quietly approach that location from various paths.

Yang Chong instinctively felt that the matter that the city lord asked him to investigate was very problematic, and in this extraordinary period, he didn't go directly to investigate by himself, but actually let himself, an investigator who didn't know where he came from, do it. Now that he knows that he is ostensibly a three-turn strength, but he has been able to get rid of the people in Longton Mountain City, he must know that he has a ghost.

Thinking of this, Yang Chong paused, that's right, he just knew that he had a ghost!

Obviously, he knows his hidden strength, but he doesn't know how much strength he hides, but the other party is also a fifth turn, so he shouldn't be afraid of these. But in the City Lord's Mansion, it's not good for him to do it to himself.

Why is it bad? Thinking of this, Yang Chong suddenly understood.

In a place like Langton Mountain City, everyone is bad to the bone, and theoretically someone should have dealt with the affairs there a long time ago, but no one from the rebels moved, and no one from the Baili family in Cangling City did anything. However, as soon as they got there, they were directly killed, and they obviously regarded themselves as real investigators of the rebels.

It will not be used for simple benefits, but will be ruthless in cleaning up the problems within the Resistance.

It is not possible to muster the rebels who rule all the places, but a few people who can do it to investigate these things is also a good way to stabilize their situation.

Since they think so, then what awaits them after that is not something that needs to be investigated, but an ambush!

Guessing these things, Yang Chong instead sped up his pace.

The killing of the people of the Baili family will not be a pretense, someone must be doing it in secret, I am afraid that person also knows that the Baili family and the city lord Huo Jin are in collusion. The fact that this person was able to mobilize so many available resources shows that that person is also an enemy of the locals.

According to the current situation, I am afraid that he is the person he is looking for and has seen before-Mao Rabbit!

"Interesting, if you take down the people here now, will there be a better way to deal with the aftermath in the future?" Yang Chong muttered to himself in his heart, feeling more and more interesting, the people who rebelled against the army were really mysterious.

Sensing that someone in the room on the side was secretly monitoring the outside, Yang Chong slowed down and gently passed by the other party, secretly transporting energy to the middle, and suddenly the invisible sword qi flew by, killing the person who dared to do surveillance at this turn.

From here, more watchers began to appear on both sides of the street.

Yang Chong could sense the people around him, but he could only vaguely feel that there was a strong man in the end, and the strength of the other party could not be felt clearly. Thinking about giving up the means of assassinating these people one by one, there is no need for this.

Since there is someone waiting for him in the end, he still has to run into each other after killing these weak people along the way.

The person who ambushed himself was at least four turns, and since it was inevitable to show his strength in battle, he would directly take out his own strength.

Let's see if they can sink into this pit they dug themselves!

The strength of the four turns exploded, and the induction of "the unity of heaven and man" made Yang Chong fly in the air, and when he crossed this street, all the monitors on both sides were harvested by the invisible sword qi.

The people in the ambush place felt these and knew what Yang Chong meant. Since you are not an investigator of the third turn, there is no need to continue to conceal your strength, let's fight!
