Chapter Eighty-Three: No Trust
When the scarred man left the ruined temple, he found that there were many anxious and anxious people gathered outside the door.
Several people came forward to surround him and ask him about the situation inside, but the scarred man just shook his head, walked through the crowd, walked to the corner of the alley on one side, and made sure that no one was following him, and then climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.
In the courtyard, there were heavily armed Yongcheng policemen standing in line, and it was Qiu Gubo who led the team.
Qiu Gubo stepped forward and asked eagerly, "How is it?" ”
The scarred man tore off the disguise on his face, revealing Xin Guangyun's face, and said at the same time: "This is not a nest of cults, just a place for them to collect money, withdraw the army in ambush on the periphery, there is no way to close the net today." ”
Qiu Gubo scolded secretly: "It seems that he ran away in vain again!" ”
Wu Liu, who was on one side, interjected: "It doesn't matter if he is a cult den, just take it directly, won't he just arrest all the people?" ”
"No, you can't do that." Qiu Gubo frowned, walked to the door of the courtyard, opened the door, glanced through the crack in the door, closed it again, turned around and said, "This is the east camp, the south is next to the shantytown of Xingang, there is a river in the middle, but they are all poor people's gathering places, accounting for seventy percent of the population of Yongcheng, in other words, seventy percent of Yongcheng is poor, now the wind of corpses is rampant, people's hearts are panicking, and the cult takes the opportunity to collect money to confuse people's hearts, if these seventy percent of the poor are instigated, there is no need to wait for Chen Bozhong's soldiers to come to the city, Yongcheng will be self-defeating." ”
Wu Liu was puzzled: "After arresting the person, we will finish the trial, get the confession, and paste the notice in black and white, and the people will naturally know the true face of this Seagod Sect." ”
Xin Guangyun shook his head: "The wisdom of the people has not been opened, even if the true face of the cult is exposed, some people will think that it is a means implemented by the commander to take care of his own face. ”
Qiu Gubo was also puzzled: "How can they know the cure?" And it doesn't seem to be the method taught by Sun San, it's too weird. ”
Xin Guangyun said again: "The most troublesome thing now is that the Poseidon Sect has also cured a lot of foreigners, so there are many foreigners who even respect the Poseidon Sect. ”
Qiu Gubo sighed: "But the handsome man doesn't listen to persuasion and doesn't trust that one-eyed flower fox." ”
Xin Guangyun laughed: "Don't blame the handsome, this person is too weird, even if it is me, I guess I don't dare to use him easily." But didn't you say that you believe in Tang Anshu, so you can also trust Cai Qianqing? ”
Qiu Gubo hesitated, nodded and said: "The reinforcements have arrived, they are by our side, if Cai Qianqing has nothing to do, at most ten days, we will really have no power to turn back." ”
Xin Guangyun didn't say anything, turned around and wanted to leave.
Qiu Gubo stopped him: "Why are you going?" ”
Xin Guangyun didn't look back: "I'll go to the coffin shop and order a few good Liuzhou coffins for us." ”
Qiu Gubo smiled: "My coffin, remember to make it bigger, I like to be spacious." ”
Xin Guangyun opened the door with a smile and left.
Qiu Gubo turned to look at the policemen in the courtyard with panic, worry, doubt, and incomprehension on their faces, and said easily: "Don't worry, even if I lose this life, I won't let you have anything to do, I am the first detective in Yongcheng." ”

Snake Heart Island, the lowest sea cave in the prison.
Tang Anshu and the others had been climbing up and down in the sea cave for twelve days, if it weren't for Gu Feng who had been here, knew the right path, and were prepared, I am afraid they would have starved to death halfway through.
Tang Anshu looked at Liu Guzhi and Tang Hualong, who were on guard in the distance, and then slowly opened the paper bag, carefully bit down on the next bite of the cake, and then took a sip of water in his mouth, and waited for the cake to slowly soak and swell and soften when it met the water, and then began to chew with his teeth.
Benzoin looked at Tang Anshu's frowning appearance and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten this kind of dry food, have you?" ”
Tang Anshu nodded: "I just saw a record of this kind of military ration in the book." ”
Benzoin asked, "What do you think it tastes like?" ”
Tang Anshu smiled: "Regardless of the taste of military food, it only talks about satiety." ”
"And stamina." Benzoin looked at Tang Anshu and explained, "If you just eat rice and noodles, the soldier's body can't withstand consumption, vegetables and meat must have a certain guarantee, the kind of food you eat is made by me according to the method handed down in the Ming Dynasty, and I process it myself, which can ensure that it will not be bad for half a month, but because the process and materials are too complicated, this method of making military food during the Ming Dynasty was abandoned." ”
Tang Anshu nodded, looked at Zhang Bolie, Li Zhaonian, and Wang Qingyun who were sleeping on the opposite cave wall, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Feng.
Gu Feng held his long knife, not knowing whether he was asleep or closing his eyes to recuperate, but his vigilance was extremely high, as long as there was the slightest movement, he would immediately draw the knife and stand.
"We still have seven days of rations, and if we can't go back in seven days, we're dead." Tang Anshu looked at the piece of multigrain cake in his hand that he was unwilling to gnaw on again, "We have been walking in this maze for ten days, and we can be said to be exhausted. ”
Benzoin picked up a stone and threw it at Gu Feng: "Brother Gu, you didn't bring enough dry food last time, how did you survive that half a month?" ”
Tang Anshu asked, "He didn't tell you?" ”
Gu Feng, who closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes and said, "I only told Da Shuai everything that happened to us below at that time. After all, there are some things that the fewer people know about the better. Don't worry, even if you run out of food, I have a solution. ”
Benzoin immediately asked, "What way?" ”
Gu Feng said coldly: "You'll know when the time comes." ”
After speaking, Gu Feng got up and called Liu Guzhi and Tang Hualong back.
The two walked up to Gu Feng, and after saluting, Tang Hualong said, "Sir, is it time to go?" ”
Gu Feng shook his head: "You two sleep for an hour, and then we will set off again." ”
Liu Guzhi stood with his chest straight: "Sir, we are not tired!" ”
"Fart!" Gu Feng scolded, "You are flesh and blood, and you are not made of mud, where is there anything that is not tired?" Obey orders! ”
"Yes!" Although Liu Guzhi and Tang Hualong were scolded, their hearts were warm, and they immediately sat down, leaned against the cave wall and closed their eyes to rest.
"You three should go to bed too." Gu Feng pointed to Zhang Bolie, Li Zhaonian and Wang Qingyun, who had already opened their eyes next to him.
After the three of them closed their eyes again, Gu Feng sat down between Tang Anshu and Benzoin, raised his hand and pointed to the road when he came: "The road of these ten days seems to be troublesome, but it is actually the safest, but it is just time-consuming." ”
Tang Anshu nodded: "This sea cave should be naturally formed, there is no trace of artificial excavation, but it is not going around in circles, as long as you calm down and mark it well, it is not difficult to get out." ”
Gu Feng pointed to the road in front of him again: "If you go forward for about two hours, the road will be easy to walk, and the cave will be much wider than here, but from there, it will be dangerous, and most of the people I brought last time will be lost there." ”
Hearing this, Benzoin immediately asked, "What's ahead?" ”
Gu Feng took out a long knife and wiped it: "Monster." ”
Tang Anshu was puzzled: "Monster? ”
Gu Feng nodded and looked at the blade of the long knife: "Yes, the following is the monster's lair, so whatever I say when the time comes, you can do it, otherwise everyone will die." ”

In the prison chamber, Sun San, who was slightly drunk, was lying on a bamboo chair, closing his eyes and whispering something there.
Bo Sammad sat on one side, disassembling his spear and carefully maintaining it, glancing at Sun San from time to time who didn't know what he was talking about.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open by Le Zhengxian, and he hurriedly walked towards Sun San with a telegram: "Dashuai, something happened in Yongcheng." ”
Sun San immediately got up: "What? Didn't the batch of rats we sent slow down the epidemic? ”
"The epidemic is under control, but it wasn't Fu Guodong's doing, and the batch of sea rats we sent is not used for the time being." Le Zhengxian's face was full of sadness, and he handed the telegram to Sun San, "The epidemic has slowed down because of a cult that came out of nowhere, calling itself the Poseidon Sect. ”
"Poseidon Cult?" Sun San frowned and touched his bald head, looking at the message, "Fu Guodong even put Cai Qianqing under house arrest?" What's going on in his head? ”
Bo Samadhi stepped forward and asked, "Why are you putting Cai Qianqing under house arrest?" ”
Le Zhengxian shook his head: "The message didn't say anything in detail, it just told us the news, let us strengthen our defense, and don't take it lightly." ”
Sun San put the message on the table, lay down again, closed his eyes and muttered, "It seems that Fu Guodong has panicked, and he is so panicked that he doesn't know who to believe." ”
"I don't believe him!" Fu Guodong first roared angrily, then sat down again, his voice lowered, "How can you let me believe him?" ”
●
In the lobby of the Yongcheng Governor's Mansion, Fu Guodong sat on the Taishi chair and was very distressed.
Qiu Gubo and Qiu Yishan, who were standing below, glanced at each other, and then looked at Xin Guangyun next to them together.
At this time, Qiu Gubo regretted revealing Xin Guangyun's identity a little, and he should only reveal it privately, so that this trench spy could also help them persuade Fu Guodong as Xin Guangyun.
After all, the current Fu Guodong feels that there are enemies inside and outside, and no one is trustworthy, so he ordered the whole army, unless there is his personal order, no one can mobilize the army, even a squad of people.
Therefore, even Qiu Gubo, who is now considered to be the celebrity next to Dashuai, is just an adjutant Qiu who wears that skin and can actually only mobilize the police.
Xin Guangyun shook his head at Qiu Gubo and Qiu Yishan, saying that he couldn't help, because even if he said a word at this time, it would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
Fu Guodong pointed outside and said: "What kind of one-eyed flower fox is here, I personally went out of the city to greet him, but he ignored it, returned to the Governor's Mansion, and asked me to hand over the military power to him, you say, if it is you, do you believe him?" ”
Qiu Yishan was also very embarrassed at this time, and said to Qiu Gubo: "Son, this Cai Qianqing is really weird, I went to see him just now, and he didn't see me, and he talked to me through the door, how can this person not even understand the most basic etiquette?" ”
Qiu Gubo sighed: "Dashuai, Tang Anshu called and said that Cai Qianqing is a strange person, he has always done his own thing, and he doesn't know how to communicate, he speaks straightforwardly, and he doesn't like to go to crowded places, but if you want to save Yongcheng, you have to be this person." ”
Fu Guodong pointed at Qiu Gubo: "Can't you?" Rely on him? ”
