Chapter XVI Investigation
"Wheat, Daddy is leaving, you have to take good care of yourself."
"Daddy, you're going there." No matter how much wheat catches up, he can't catch up, and his father and mother disappear completely.
Wheat woke up from her dream and shouted, "Daddy", but there was no response. It took a moment for Wheat to remember what had happened yesterday, and tears were streaming down her face again. Wheat clenched his fists and secretly vowed to avenge his father.
Fei Ni whispered, "Brother Wheat, please mourn." ”
"I'm fine, what's going on in the village," Mai said calmly.
Fei Ni sighed and said, "It's so miserable, there are not four out of ten people in the village, these bandits are really hurting the heavens and have no humanity." ”
"Lord Yang of the Qingfeng City garrison is here with the army to do the work of cleaning up the aftermath, and at the same time is investigating which bandits did it."
"How about the village chief, did you find it, I didn't see the village chief at your house at the time," Mai said worriedly.
"My dad was fine, he went to other villages to run errands, so he escaped." Finney said with trepidation.
"Fennie will take me to Lord Yang," Mai said flatly.
At this time, Yang Buping, the captain of the garrison, was directing the army to clean up the debris and bury the corpses of the villagers.
Although Yang Buping has been the captain of the Qingfeng City garrison for so many years, there has never been such a vicious village slaughter. When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Qingyuan Village, which was originally a paradise with beautiful mountains and rivers, no longer exists, and all that remains is endless pain for the living.
"Hello, Captain Yang, I'm Wang Mai, remember me? You sent me to Qingfeng Academy back then. Wheat said.
"It's you, I can't imagine that after many years, you have grown so big. I heard that your parents were also killed in this incident, please mourn. Yang Buping said with a sigh.
"Captain Yang, have you found out that the bandits slaughtered the village?" Wheat asked eagerly.
"Not yet, listen to me"
100 miles east of Qingfeng City, there is a place where bandits gather called Tianshui Mountain Range, where countless bandits live.
The bandits in the Tianshui Mountain Range are divided into countless large and small forces.
Among them, the bandit who claims to be the king of the mountain is the most powerful, and no one knows his name. The second is that the leader of the chivalrous bandit group is Huangfu Justice. The third is that the leader of the Violent Bear Bandit Group is Xiong Feng.
There are also masters among the bandits, especially the three major leaders. At the same time, most of the bandits are outlaws.
The terrain of the Tianshui Mountains is complex, and it can be attacked and defended. In the past, Qingfeng City and several surrounding cities jointly encircled and suppressed the bandits of the Tianshui Mountain Range, all of which ended in failure.
Over time, the bandits of the Tianshui Mountain Range did not do anything too much, and in the end they could only let it go and only strengthen the garrison around the mountain range.
"Lord Yang, can you let me join the investigation team? I want to avenge my father and mother and the people in the village," said Mai, clenching his fists.
Yang Buping said embarrassedly: "I understand your feelings, but this is a matter for the military, and you are still too young to participate." ”
"Captain Yang, tell me if you have any news." Wheat said pleadingly.
Yang Buping said warningly: "Yes, but don't mess around." ”
Wheat turned away, he couldn't sit still, the bandit had been gone for six hours, and something had to be done.
Wheat found a horse in the village, got on the horse and headed in the direction of the Tianshui Mountains, and must hurry up to catch up, otherwise the clue will be broken after a long time.
When Fei Ni saw Wheat riding away, she immediately reported it to Yang Buping.
Yang Buping said curtly: "This kid is really reckless, let him go, after all, his parents were killed, if he doesn't let him do something, he will go crazy." The bandits have been running for so long, and it is estimated that there should be no danger if they can't catch up. ”
The wheat kept heading towards the direction of the Tianshui Mountain Range, and there were a large number of horseshoe prints on the ground on the way, which showed that the direction was right.
On the road 30 miles from the Tianshui Mountains, Wheat found 10 corpses, and the clothes were from the city garrison.
The people in the garrison are all good at cultivating, but their cultivation is high and low, and all the wounds on the corpse are killed with one blow to the throat, and the murderer must be an extremely strong person. Wheat can't kill with one hit.
Continue to go towards the Tianshui Mountain Range, 10 miles away from the periphery of the Tianshui Mountain Range, Wheat dismounted and hid his body.
From a distance, the Tianshui Mountains are high and cloudy, the jungle is full of thorns, and there is not even a decent road. This is only the periphery of the Tianshui Mountain Range, no wonder the encirclement and suppression will fail.
The wheat breath converges and the spiritual power spreads to perceive the surrounding situation.
After about 10 miles deep into the Tianshui Mountains, Mai found a house with lights on, and hid his figure to take a closer look.
I saw a man's scolding voice coming from inside the house, "Where the birds don't, what else are you on duty, who will come here to break the ground." Then he took a sip of wine and said, "Fortunately, I was on duty at the house tonight, and the guys outside were miserable, haha." ”
Wheat thought to himself that the thieves in the Tianshui Mountains were not ordinary, the division of labor and organization were clear, and the sentry was divided into clear and dark sentry.
Wheat ignored the bandits and continued to walk cautiously towards the mountains.
After going about 15 miles deeper, I finally found a small cottage with about 60 people.
After investigation, only the leader inside had a little bit of cultivation, and the others were ordinary people who didn't know how to cultivate.
The leader of the bandits was drinking wine in the room, a bewitching beauty was sitting on the lap of the bandits, pouring wine and feeding fruit, and a big hand of the bandit leader was caressing the bewitching beauty unscrupulously.
Wheat dodged in with his face covered, knocked the bewitching beauty stunned with a blow of the knife, and put a knife on the neck of the bandit leader from behind.
"Don't move, or your head will hit the ground." Wheat whispered.
The sudden change really frightened the bandit leader, and he trembled and said, "A good man spares his life, he has something to say." ”
Mai's voice was cold, and he said, "Do you know that a team of 100 people went out from the Tianshui Mountain Range yesterday and came back tonight." They belong to that power. ”
"I haven't heard of this, small forces like us don't know the actions of these big forces at all. There are dozens of forces that can easily mobilize 100 people, so let me go, I really don't know. ”
Wheat lightly scratched a bloody mark on the neck of the bandit leader, which immediately frightened the bandit leader into peeing his pants.
"A good man spares his life, I really don't know, I will let you be the boss of this cottage." The bandit leader pleaded.
Wheat didn't speak, thinking of the tragic death of his father and mother, and his hatred for the bandits. The knife in Wheat's hand slashed hard, and blood splattered, and the bandit leader fell to the ground without even shouting.
This is the first time that wheat has killed someone, without panic, without timidity, with a knife in his hand. The tragic death of his parents made his heart cold.
Wheat did not slaughter the bandits outside, so as not to startle the snakes, it is nothing to kill a bandit leader like this, such a thing is staged every day in this Tianshui Mountain Range.
The blood on the wheat drying knife disappeared into the night.
