Chapter 2 Treading the snow without a trace is amazing, and the bandits are arrogant!
Yan Ming was alert!
The reaction in the Tongfu Inn was even greater, and the already small number of guests threw their chopsticks away, got up and ran like frightened sheep.
"Wait, wait, you haven't checked out yet!"
The shopkeeper Tong hurriedly stopped, but before the shout fell, the guests had already run away, and the skills of evading orders were extremely skillful.
"O dripping god! Finally, a few guests came, and the bill hasn't been settled yet, so this business can't be done! ”
Shopkeeper Tong held his forehead with his hand, his face full of pain.
Bai Zhantang had quickly run to the door of the inn, and was seeing Yan Ming stopping the beggar Millet for interrogation.
"The bandits have entered the town? In which direction? ”
Yan Ming's hand was already pressed on the handle of the knife, his expression was serious, and Bai Zhantang's fingers were also slightly together, ready to deal with the change.
"No, I mean the bandits have come to the news, oops, it's scary, it's Han Yuanzhai's Wei Yuan, their family is dead!"
Xiaomi waved his hand again and again to explain.
Hearing that the bandits did not enter the Seven Heroes Town, Yan Ming was slightly relieved at first, but when he learned that there was a life lawsuit, he immediately became serious.
"Okay, you millet, you can't say it slowly, you scare the guests away, dip the sugar and order him!"
Tong Xiangyu spoke.
Bai Zhantang: "Sunflower ......"
"What, I still have something to do, let's go first......"
Before the acupuncture hand arrived, Xiaomi had already run away.
"Shopkeeper Tong, you pay attention to the safety of the inn, go back and help you get the account, I'll go and see the situation first!"
Yan Ming explained two sentences, did not look back, and ran in the direction of Wei Yuanwai's house.
Although the shopkeeper Tong was distressed that the business was not done, when he saw Yan Ming running away, he hurriedly ordered Bai Zhantang.
"Zhantang, you go and take a look, Lao Xing is not here, there are people in the town again, Xiao Ming don't have any accidents."
"Good!"
Bai Zhantang didn't talk nonsense, got up and followed.
A moment later, Yan Ming turned the corner of the street, and in just a few steps, his figure suddenly accelerated without warning, and the official boots were very light on the ground, and there was almost no sound!
Only a few gusts of fresh wind were left in the place where they passed.
It's a wonderful feeling, it's completely different from the usual street patrols!
Because Yan Ming directly obtains rewards from the system, the exercises obtained omit the process of learning and getting started, and the relevant information and muscle memory are directly implanted in the body, so the internal power and light skills and knife techniques have automatically taken root.
In addition, after a washing of the scriptures and cutting the marrow, Yan Ming's martial arts qualifications and root bones have also been greatly improved, far beyond ordinary people, and the operation of the exercises is even smoother.
As soon as he moved at this time, Yan Ming only felt that the pure Yang Wuji Gong in his body spontaneously circulated in the meridians in accordance with the route of the exercises.
With the operation of internal strength, a stream of pure and exquisite internal force is endless, turning into a trickle into the limbs and hundreds of remains.
Immediately, the internal power urged the top light power to step on the snow without a trace, and the speed became faster and faster, Yan Ming only felt that the houses and streets on both sides were sliding rapidly, and then he was left behind in an instant.
The edge of Seven Heroes Town, which had taken nearly a quarter of an hour to reach by walking slowly, only took Yan Ming two and a half minutes this time!
Of course, Yan Ming's current light skills are only the first layer, and he can't really step on the snow without a trace, but among the ordinary martial artists in the rivers and lakes, it is amazing enough.
In the rear, Bai Zhantang wanted to follow Yan Ming and go to see the situation together.
But I turned a corner along the street and was stunned.
"Where's Yan Ming? What about people? ”
Bai Zhantang's face was full of doubts.
Isn't that right?
He and Yan Ming are obviously just front and back, according to Yan Ming's speed, he should be not far ahead now.
But in a flash, where is there a figure?
Bai Zhantang thought that he had made a mistake, and he flashed through the street in an instant.
But after walking for a while, there is still no Yan Naruto!
Something is wrong, what the hell?
Bai Zhantang was a little stunned, he listened attentively, but there was no footsteps of Yan Ming!
Yan Ming patrols the streets on weekdays, and Bai Zhantang has long known the sound of footsteps, and he will definitely be able to hear it if he is nearby.
He nodded on his tiptoes and flew to the roof, looking around, but there was still no Yan Ming.
"It's weird!"
Bai Zhantang was completely surprised.
Yan Ming can't be so fast? Could it be that something was wrong?
But how is it possible to kidnap people quietly under the nose of his dignified thief?
Bai Zhantang came up with many ideas for a while, but he was rejected by himself, so he had to stop and stop along the road and search for Wei Yuanwai's house.
In fact, although Yan Ming's snow treading without a trace is strong, it is much worse than the dignified thief saint, but Bai Zhantang didn't expect Yan Ming to work lightly, and he walked and searched for it, but he couldn't catch up.
After a while, Bai Zhantang arrived near Wei Yuanwai's house, which was already surrounded by the people of Qixia Town, gathering together to discuss.
In the crowd, Bai Zhantang saw Yan Ming who was like no one.
As a result, Bai Zhantang was even more stunned, scratching his head vigorously, puzzled by the situation in front of him.
Wei Yuanwai's house is spacious and magnificent, located not far from the town of Seven Heroes.
Don't look at Wei Yuan's Han Yuanzhai in Qixia Town, which is mainly engaged in the four treasures of the study, books and classics, but Wei Yuan's business outside covers all industries, and his family is hugely rich, and he is one of the four wealthy people in Qixia Town.
Qixia Town is located in the east and west, the north and south are as good as possible, the geographical location is excellent, the official road and the Xiliang River are the only way for all parties to pass through the business, so there are many rich people in the town, and the four rich men are among the best.
At this time, Yan Ming had already passed through the crowd and walked to the main entrance of Wei's house.
I heard the news of the bandits, and rushed to see the lively people nearby, and when they saw that the small hunt in the town was coming, they also made way of a road.
Yan Ming walked in and looked up, and saw a few people standing on the high steps of the Wei Mansion, and what was even more eye-catching was the mighty stone lions on both sides of the gate next to it.
A stone lion's raised claw was hung with a bloody severed arm.
The stone hydrangea that the other stone lion was stepping on was replaced and turned into a bloody hulaji's head!
Blood was pouring from the entrance of the magnificent Wei Mansion, which seemed to indicate bad luck to come.
This terrifying scene is extremely visually impactful for ordinary people.
Yan Ming had already seen the frightened faces of the people around him.
"Yan Hunt is coming!"
Someone on the steps saw Yan Ming and shouted.
The surrounding people were also whispering.
"He's only been a catcher for a few days, right? Will this work? ”
"Xing Zhutou is not here, I think this kid is choking enough, the bandit is vicious, don't be scared out of urine again!"
Obviously, everyone didn't trust Yan Ming's ability.
A person on the steps turned around and saw Yan Ming, and hurriedly walked a few steps to greet him.
"Yan Zhu, this matter has alarmed you."
Yan Ming recognized it, and the person in front of him was Wei Yuanwai, one of the four wealthy people in Qixia Town, Wei Jin.
Although Wei Jin is extremely rich, he is not like a nouveau riche, he wears a fine straight-edged shirt with wide sleeves and soap edges, his body is on the thin side, full of bookish atmosphere, not like a businessman, but like an old Confucian student.
Wei Jin greeted him and explained.
"It's unfortunate that this evil thing happened in the Mansion, I originally wanted to wait for Xing Zhutou to come back before reporting it, but I didn't expect that Yan Zhutou would have arrived soon, it's really a good catch in our town!"
Wei Jin flattered for a few words, Yan Ming stepped forward with a strong smell of blood, checked the tragic situation at the gate of the mansion, and looked at a few people at the scene-
The nursing home in Wei Jin's mansion, plus several businessmen with good connections in the town are here, and it seems that they rushed here after hearing the news.
The shopkeeper Wang of the rice shop on West Street and a few other people, seeing that Yan Yu was coming, all stepped forward to say hello, and they were kind on the surface.
Only a burly strong man crossed his arms in front of him and snorted disdainfully.
"When did it happen?"
Yan Ming took out the small notebook he carried with him and began to ask routinely.
"I don't know, as soon as the people in the house opened the door this morning, they saw this tragic situation, it should be last night."
"Do you know the person who was killed?"
"Yes, this head belongs to a fellow of our caravan, and this arm is being confirmed by someone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Ming heard someone crying next to him.
"Old horse, ah! Old horse, ah-"
Yan Ming looked at it, it was a subordinate in Wei Jin's mansion, and he seemed to recognize the owner of the broken arm.
"This is the arm of the caravan leader, the old horse, who has the scars of his early years on his forearm, I remember it very clearly."
The subordinate said with a crying voice, and his legs were weak with fright.
Wei Jin sighed and said to Yan Ming with a sad face.
"A few days ago, I asked the Fushang caravan to transport a batch of goods to Tongling, but I lost contact, and it seems that I was poisoned by bandits!"
Yan Ming nodded and wrote down the relevant information.
Then he asked, pointing to the gate of the house.
"What's the matter with the knife marks on this door?"
"It's a dagger nailed to the door of the house, and a letter from a bandit."
"Where are the letters?"
Wei Jin just wanted to answer, but the burly man next to him became impatient, and stepped forward to stop in front of Yan Ming.
"I said, you hairy boy is endless, have you ever seen a dead man before? The bandits are really coming, can you deal with them? I'm still putting it up to give you some face! Don't waste our time here as soon as possible, and when you have time, we will investigate the theft of the rice shop on West Street, which is not something you can handle. ”
The tone of the Great Chinese is full of contempt.
"Zhou Huyuan, don't be rude, Yan Zhukuai is a member of the Yamen!"
Wei Jin scolded beside him, and the big man reluctantly turned his head, but he still muttered in his mouth.
"The thieves in Heifeng Village are extremely vicious, this kid is only scared to pee his crotch, the owner can rest assured, there are really thieves coming to the door, I deserve it! To deal with the bandits, we have to use the way of the green forest, and the name of our Divine Arm Gate is also out! ”
Wei Yuanwai didn't answer, and his face was full of apologies to Yan Ming.
"Yan Zhu, don't go to your heart, this is Zhou Hu, the guardian of my mansion, but he is a master disciple of the Divine Arm Sect, a martial artist of the Qi and Blood Realm, and the safety of the Mansion is thanks to him."
God's Arm Gate?
Yan Ming looked at the other party, and sure enough, Zhou Hu's two arms were exaggerated, the iron-like muscles were full of green tendons, and the skin was a little shiny, obviously the kung fu on the arms was not weak.
The Qi and Blood Realm is even more remarkable, and he is also a master in the rivers and lakes.
The most common thing on the rivers and lakes is the martial artist of the body refining realm, which is divided into three realms, each of which is called a refinement.
The three martial arts cultivators must go through a long period of precipitation, hard work and talent, in order to successfully condense qi and gather blood, complete qualitative changes, and step into the realm of qi and blood.
I heard that the owner of the Black Wind Village is the Triple Heaven of the Qi and Blood Realm, and this Wei Yuan can find the Divine Arm Gate Qi and Blood Realm as a nurse, and he must have spent a lot of money.
"Go and bring the letter of the bandit, and give it to Yan Yu quickly."
Wei Yuanwai commanded, and someone took the letter and handed it to Yan Ming.
Carefully took it, Yan Ming looked at it.
It's a blackmail letter, and the bandit's handwriting is ugly, but the strokes are powerful.
The letter stated that Wei Yuan was asked to prepare 5,000 taels of silver, plus a batch of goods, in exchange for the lives of more than 20 people in their caravan, and the time and place of delivery would be notified separately.
The letter did not threaten Wei Yuanwai not to report to the official or not to leak the news, it seems that this group of bandits did not take Yan Ming, the only small catcher in Seven Heroes Town, to heart at all.
It is no wonder that in the eyes of this group of vicious bandits, the official errand of Seven Heroes Town is basically equivalent to decoration. If you dare to meddle in your business, just kill it!
It shows how arrogant it is!
Everyone present also held their breath, their eyes focused on Yan Ming, wanting to see how he dealt with it, did they dare to take care of it?
Most people secretly thought in their hearts that it was already very rare for this little catch to not be scared away.
As for the solution? The crowd had no hope for him at all.
There are even a few people who are waiting to see Yan Ming make a fool of themselves with a playful mentality.
