"If it's true, then it's a big deal!"

A trace of worry flashed in Wu Qianyuan's eyes.

He hadn't officially taken over the family's business yet, but he also knew the seriousness of the matter, "Second brother, can you find out the identity of that gang of bandits?"

Zhang Chu is the second in the old Zhang family, and he also calls him by Zhang Chu's ranking in the family.

This habit of calling each other by the other party's ranking at home is the same as calling each other cousins in ancient China, which is a kind of title to express closeness.

Zhang Chu pondered for a few breaths, nodded and said, "I can figure it out, but it will take a little time." ”

Wu Qianyuan nodded and responded, "Then I'll go home and ask first, and then we'll discuss." ”

Zhang Chu raised his glass: "If you need a helper, just say hello!"

Wu Qianyuan also lifted his wine glass and said with a smile: "I won't be polite to you." ”

......

It's night.

Zhang Chu returned home and sent someone to recruit mules.

The mule entered the living room of Zhang's mansion and saluted Zhang Chu according to the rules: "Master Chu." ”

Zhang Chu motioned for him to sit down, and then said, "How did you check the matter in the afternoon?"

Mule: "I found out, Wu's batch of goods was robbed half a month ago on the horse road north of Jintianfu, and it is rumored in the green forest that Yuema Village has taken the initiative to contact Wu's and let Wu's redeem this batch of goods at a low price." ”

"But the strange thing is that Wu Shi did not admit that this batch of goods was theirs on the surface, but secretly sent Liang Shang's master to sneak into the Leaping Horse Village to try to steal back this batch of goods, but was broken by the Leaping Horse Village, and the Leaping Horse Village robbed several caravans of the Wu clan in a fit of rage, and completely tore his face with the Wu clan!"

"Now the entire green forest world of Wuding County is staring at this matter, and the rumor is very unfavorable to the Wu clan!"

With the establishment of the district and county eight rudders, the intelligence network of the Blood Shadow Guard has also been completely rolled out, and now the wind and grass in the entire Wuding County cannot hide the Blood Shadow Guard, including the changes in officialdom and the green forest, all within the scope of the Blood Shadow Guard's supervision.

Only in the rivers and lakes of Wuding County, the progress of the Blood Shadow Guard has not been much.

The threshold of the rivers and lakes is too high, and most of the spies of the Blood Shadow Guard are ordinary people, and they can't even see the threshold of the rivers and lakes, so they can only collect some trivial information from hearsay, which is not of much use.

"Horse Road?"

Zhang Chu quickly grabbed a key word.

The mule nodded affirmatively: "It's Ma Dao." ”

Zhang Chu pinched his chin, feeling that this matter had a strange smell inside and out.

The path of the Great Departure is divided into three levels.

First level, straights.

Connecting the prefectures of Kyushu, the road is paved with earth mixed with gravel, tamped with a sledgehammer, and there are drainage channels on both sides to accommodate six horse-drawn carriages.

The straight road is the bloodline of the Dali Dynasty, it is a fast channel to transmit important news and mobilize the army, the control is extremely strict, a pavilion in ten miles, a post in a hundred miles, and it is not allowed to be used if the Son of Heaven goes out on patrol or transports troops in wartime, and those who violate it will be executed.

The second level, galloping.

Connecting the prefectures of Kyushu with the prefectures, the road surface is relatively flat on sunny days, and the road width can accommodate three carriages in parallel.

Chidao is the cornerstone of the county-level governance of the county, there is the existence of Chidao, any county rebellion, the county government can requisition the army as quickly as possible, quickly quell the chaos, and because of this, although the management of the Chidao is not as strict as the straight road, but it is still not authorized by the county government, can not be used, violators will be punished with labor and distribution to the army.

Season 3, Horse Trail.

It is the so-called "five-foot road", which can only accommodate one pass, and all prefectures and counties have it, and it is also under the jurisdiction of the government, but now it is in the period of peace, and the jurisdiction is extremely loose, and it can be used without road guidance and ultimatum.

It's just that almost all the horse roads are potholed and intermittent, and if you can't go far, you have to change the path, and many horse roads are entrenched by bandits and wandering bandits, which is very unsafe.

The horse road is the most commonly used business road and folk road in Dali, and Zhang Chu returned to Jintian County to worship his ancestors before the horse road.

As far as Zhang Chu knows, Wushi's transportation channels are all based on Chidao.

After all, the Wu clan is the designated supplier of war horses for the Zhenbei Army, and it can barely be regarded as an official businessman.

However, Wu's batch of goods was robbed on the horse road.

Putting a safe and easy-to-walk gallop road and not walking, walking on the road, isn't it weird?

Also, Zhang Chu remembered that the people of Baisheng Dao said that they had snatched this batch of goods from a group of hard stubbles disguised as caravans.

In other words, this caravan did not play the banner of the Wu clan!

What's even more strange is that Gu Xiong took the initiative to contact the Wu family, but the Wu family did not admit that this batch of goods belonged to their Wu clan on the surface, but secretly sent someone to steal this batch of goods.

What is this operation?

"Is it possible, this batch of goods will not see the light?"

Zhang Chu thought about it, there was only this possibility.

"Be careful!"

Zhang Chu was vigilant.

This kind of shady thing is usually unlucky for whoever touches it.

Gu Xiong was unlucky if he touched it, it was because of the cattle ratio!

He doesn't have a background as hard as Gu Xiong.

......

"By the way, Master Chu, my subordinates have thought of a way for the Blood Shadow Guard to open up the situation in the rivers and lakes!"

The mule suddenly remembered something and opened his mouth to report.

"Oh?"

Zhang Chu pressed his complicated thoughts to the bottom of his heart, and asked with interest, "What way?"

Mule: "There is a Jianghu sect called 'Qingxiamen' outside Linjiang County, which is recruiting disciples recently, and my subordinates are thinking, can I send a few people in?"

Zhang Chu's eyes lit up.

Wonderful!

Mules, have you ever seen Infernal Affairs?

Zhang Chu nodded with satisfaction: "This is a good move, and it can extend the tentacles of the Blood Shadow Guard into the rivers and lakes, and it can cultivate a group of good players who enter the product, so what are the conditions for the Qingxia Sect to recruit disciples?"

Mule: "Can't be more than sixteen years old, a native of Shuangliu County, and his net worth is innocent." ”

Zhang Chu: "It's easy to solve the problem of innocence, but making up net worth is ...... Is there a big difference between Shuangliu County's accent and AllHeaven's?"

The mule thought for a while and shook his head: "It's not big, there are only a few words that have a different pronunciation from Alla, for example, when we eat here, we mean eating, and eating there, it seems to mean just rice." ”

"That's not a big problem!"

Zhang Chu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Do you have someone in mind?"

Mule: "Not yet, my subordinates haven't asked you for advice on this matter, so I don't dare to make a good claim, and I only recruit young men under the age of sixteen, which is also the threshold." ”

Zhang Chu: "None of the core brothers of the Blood Shadow Guard are under the age of sixteen?"

The mule shook his head: "No, the youngest is eighteen years old." ”

Zhang Chumo pondered for a while with the short beard of his chin, and suddenly there was a candidate: "What do you think of the children at home?"

The mule was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Are you willing to let those children go?"

How much energy and material resources Zhang Chu put into those children, no one knows better than him, Da Xiong, Li Zheng and the three of them.

That's when children are raised!

Zhang Chu smiled: "What's reluctant, this is to send them to practice martial arts, not to send them to death." ”

"The eldest of them is fourteen years old this year, you will pick a few later, and after a period of training in the Blood Shadow Guard, you will think of sending them to the Qingxia Sect!"

"This method can form a charter, and in the future, all the Jianghu sects in Wuding County, you can find a way to send a few children in!"

"Later, let's find another time to make some rules for these children sent to various sects, including when we should be summoned to the gang, and when Yicheng returns to the gang, there must be a charter!"

The mule got up: "Yes, helper." ”
