Chapter 140: Chickens Fly and Dogs Jump
With the continuous arrival of rangers, the liveliness in Pingxi City has increased unabated.
In just a few days, just like the rangers of the entire Ganzhou have rushed to Pingxi City, on the streets of Pingxi City, among the restaurants, you can see those rangers with red headbands on their foreheads, fully armed, and carrying strong bows and crossbows on their bodies without any scruples.
The arrival of these rangers, the mountain wind has not been caught, it has already made the security in Pingxi City bear a huge test, Pingxi City in a dry torture and arrest in the yamen, now not to mention catching the mountain wind, is just to deal with these rangers, but also every day to be exhausted, these rangers are not only strong in martial arts, but also unruly, if you want to make these rangers obey the rules, it is completely impossible, and those rangers have long had rich experience in how to deal with the government and the punishment and arrest yamen, even if you know that some things are done by the rangers, you can't do anything about themใ
During the day, it is good to say, those rangers are just wandering around, and at night, as soon as it gets dark, those rangers will set out, one by one with black scarves, covering their faces, and then they will begin to fly around the walls in Pingxi City, unscrupulously looking for clues everywhere.
Even the hut that Yan Liqiang rented near the Kowloon Bridge for two nights, when Yan Liqiang went to sleep, he found that someone had come to investigate, but Yan Liqiang pretended to be asleep and didn't know, the explorer uncovered the tiles on the roof and looked at it, found nothing, and left.
Because the night of the mountain wind was a crime done in the gathering area of the Shatu people, many of those rangers came to Pingxi City, and many of them would go to the gathering area of the Shatu people to investigate.
The Shatu people in Pingxi City have been spoiled for a long time, and have developed the habit of emptying everything, although their gathering area is in Pingxi City, they have regarded the area west of Pingxi City as their own territory, everything is self-contained, and they manage it themselves, and it is not easy to even catch fast in Pingxi City on weekdays.
At this time, the gathering area of the Shatu people suddenly became lively at night.
The officials and people in Pingxi City did not dare to provoke the Shatu people, but those rangers had no scruples, and from November 2, for several nights in a row, there was an accident in the gathering area of the Shatu people.
First, there was a clash between the patrol team and the rangers in the Shatu gathering area, and several people died in the Shatu patrol, and then in the back, the Shatu people gathered in the area caught fire for two consecutive nights, and on November 5, Yan Liqiang even heard that the Shatu people went to the Yamen to report the case, saying that the Shatu people in the gathering area disappeared several times in one night......
Yan Liqiang was not interested in whether the missing Shatu people were dead or alive, what he was interested in was that from the disappearance of the Shatu people, it showed that those rangers who came to Pingxi City, many of them were bold and intelligent, and they had already smelled the value of the mountain wind, perhaps far more than the one thousand taels of gold that was offered.
Because the place where the Shatu people had an accident that night, in fact, there was not only one warehouse, what really made the Shatu people lose a lot was the things that were lost in Ali Gujin's residence, but the latter, the Shatu people did not publicize it, so not many people in Pingxi City knew about it, but in fact, when he left Ali Gujin's residence, he still left many clues, and as soon as he came out of that residence, he killed several Shatu people, and when he killed the Shatu people, it was when Ali Gujin left the residence, and the Shatu people in the entire Shatu people gathering area were attracted by the warehouse fire, as long as someone is interested in checking the place and time when the true body was first revealed on the night of the mountain wind, they may be able to think of something.
After all, the trick of striking the east and the west and diverting the tiger from the mountain, to put it bluntly, is not very clever, but many times the people who are caught in it can't find it.
It is naturally impossible to ask the Shatu people what happened that night, but if they can kidnap a few Shatu people and use a little means, those rangers who gathered in Pingxi City will definitely be able to piece together many episodes of that night, and maybe even uncover the secrets of the Shatu people under the burning warehouse.
Moreover, the various gates of Pingxi City have to go through the perverted inspection of the things that everyone who leaves Pingxi City has to go through in the past few days, and it also reveals some information from the side - the inspection at the city gate may not only want to catch the mountain wind, because to catch the mountain wind, you don't need to check the packages and those pure goods that everyone carries, such a detailed inspection can only show that there may be something of great value on the body of the mountain wind.
Yan Liqiang didn't know if there was any communication between the rangers, but in just a few days, he obviously felt that there were more and more rangers in Pingxi City, and the courage of those rangers was getting bigger and bigger.
In addition to haunting the territory of the Shatu people, in the past few days, in the mansions of various large families in Pingxi City, every night, they have not been harassed by those rangers, and the news of the guards and rangers of those large families working at night can be heard almost every day, and among the criminal arrest yamen, the number of reports of thefts from those large families received every day has increased all at once.
There are chivalrous people among the rangers, but there is no shortage of heroes who are under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor, and when they are short of money, they can do a few businessless businesses with peace of mind. What's more, among the gangsters in Pingxi City, at this time, there are also those who come out to fish in troubled waters.
The rangers wear hoods or scarves when they come out at night, and as long as you can't catch him red-handed, even if you know it's the city rangers who did it, you won't find anyone at all.
In addition to the deterioration of public security in the city, the inspection at the city gate is too meticulous and too wasteful of time, and the pedestrians and convoys blocked at several city gates in Pingxi City every day can line up several hundred meters long, and they have to queue up at the city gate for at least an hour when they go out of the city, and the people in Pingxi City are complaining one by one......
In just a few days, the entire Pingxi City has become a miasma, and all of a sudden, if you walk on the street and take a casual look, you can find that there are several times more people with swords, swords, bows and crossbows on the street.
Because the security in Pingxi City has become bad all of a sudden, there are too many people scurrying on the street, and there is no trace of the mountain wind, after letting a new student of the Guoshu Museum go to the street for a few days to cross the mountain wind, and after the situation is crossed, on November 7, the Guoshu Museum no longer requires all new students to go to the street every day, of course, if you want to go, the Guoshu Museum will not stop you, and it may be possible to praise a few words.
That is, on November 7th, Yan Liqiang walked into the library in the Guoshu Museum, and after borrowing a lot of books such as literature, history, classics and philosophy as a cover, Yan Liqiang also borrowed a bunch of other types of books and quickly flipped through them in the library.
The hard work paid off, and finally, Yan Liqiang found the answer he needed in a book called "Atlas of Strange Soldiers".
The real name of the black metal cylinder, called the Thunder Fire Dragon Cannon, is made by a mysterious sect of the Han Empire overseas Dragon Demon Island, each tube of the Thunder Fire Cannon, can only be used once, when used, the Thunder Fire God Cannon will spew out a terrifying high-temperature fire dragon, covering a wide area, within ten zhang, molten gold and iron, making people unguardable, this Thunder Fire Dragon Cannon, can be called a killing weapon in close range, according to the book, people who practice below the Great Martial Master, it is almost difficult to retreat from the attack of the Thunder Fire Dragon Cannon.
And from another biography of the rivers and lakes, Yan Liqiang found another answer.
The contents of the black bottle that he obtained that were sealed with wax - those soul-snatching poisons were a terrifying poison from the Desperate Valley, the first murderous place of the Han Empire, this poison, formless and colorless, and soluble in water, as long as a drop of it was mixed into food, it could easily kill hundreds of people, and if it was smeared on the weapon, it would completely seal the throat with blood, and in the blink of an eye, it could kill people.
Knowing the role of the two things in his hand, Yan Liqiang quickly put one of them to handy.
After a week of silence, Yan Liqiang began to act again......
