Gao Jian smiled, his voice was much calmer, "Over the past few years, the imperial court has developed Hai Xiaocai, but the bandits have become more and more rampant,"

At the end of last year, Emperor Shengxizong of Liang Xin was in Zhenshan Haodang Pavilion, and he urged the Jiulong Division to deal with the bandits along the Ge coast, and he personally heard about this matter, and the emperor personally explained the command, so that Shi Lin did not dare to slack off, and sent cadres to Gezhou to assist the local Kowloon Tsing Yi and the sailors to investigate and deal with the bandits

Liang Xin smiled and nodded: "So Lord Shi sent Master Gao down?"

Unexpectedly, Shi Lin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It would be nice if you sent me directly!" The first one sent down was a pair of brothers, the elder brother was called Shen Tu Shui, and the brother called Shen Tu Fang They were personally brought out by the commander, and they were able to do things, let alone have no skills, and they have really done a few major things over the years, which is the most powerful work in our Kowloon Division."

The Shentu brothers had never dealt with Hao before, and they were a little confused for a while, so the first few months were not very effective, but after all, they were the operators of the Nine Dragons Division, and after being familiar with the situation, they gradually showed their means, and they shot quickly and ruthlessly several times, and knocked out several groups of bandits one after another

"Things were going well, but not long ago, the two brothers had an accident, and the Shentu brothers, together with twenty of their subordinates, suddenly disappeared until twenty days later, Tsing Yi of Gozhou found them here, and returned to the town

It wasn't until now that Liang Xin didn't know that the port town he landed in was called "Come back, although the name of the town is strange, Liang Xin didn't bother to ask Gao Jian for the time being, and made a gesture to Gao Jian," continued

Gao Jian's expression lost all the usual skeletal smiles, and was replaced by solemn and cold: "The corpses of the twenty Tsing Yi have all rotted, Shen Tu Shu is nowhere to be found, Shen Tu is crazy."

Liang Xin was stunned for a moment, slightly stunned: "Crazy?"

"Yes, when I found Shen Tufang, he was eating his hands, and his own hand, really eating his left hand, had already been eaten by him

Although I haven't seen the Shentu brothers, but the Kowloon Tsing Yi who can sit in a high position, everyone is an iron heart, it is easy for them to die, but it is difficult to climb to the sky if they want them to go crazy

When Gao Jian spoke, a somewhat tired look appeared between his eyebrows: "Brother Shentu's position is not low, and the life and death of twenty Tsing Yi is also serious, but at that time, I had other cases in my hands, and I couldn't get down, so the commander sent another team of brothers over."

Unexpectedly, the Tsing Yi sent over for the second time disappeared soon after, and this time even the body could not be found

Only then did it take Gao Jian's turn to come back, "Coming back to Zhen Ming is to replace his predecessor Tsing Yi to continue to deal with the bandits, but in fact, he is looking for the whereabouts of Zhuo Tufang and investigating the cases of the killed and missing Tsing Yi."

Over, Gao Jian shook his head again, and showed a smile: "It's unfortunate that you came back, if you are three or five days late, you can still see Cheng Ye! His old man has just finished dealing with the matter at hand, and he is rushing here, and when the time comes, I will work together on both sides of the light and the dark, and the situation will be much better" can make Gao Jian himself unable to find clues and need a dark line to assist the case, Liang Xin asked himself and couldn't help much, just shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Why are you all going around, are there no others in our Nine Dragons Division?"

Gao Jian lowered his head and spat and scolded: "I don't know what kind of evil he has hit, there have been a lot of strange cases recently! There are many capable people, but there are more things to do, one radish and eight pits, how can it be so easy to do everything well! Not to mention that Liang Ye, the most capable person in our Tsing Yi, has now become a wanted criminal,"

The two Tsing Yi laughed together

Liang Xin remembered one more thing and stopped laughing: "Whether it's investigating the case or dealing with the bandits, be careful yourself, as far as I know, there are some not simple characters among the bandits!"

Then, he briefly talked about his experience of dealing with Yulu Island, and especially explained that the leader of this group of bandits, even Langya, who is a four-step Dacheng, is not an opponent, Gao Jian once fought side by side with him against a strong enemy, Si Lao Liu's "rescue grace is in front", tugboat righteousness is in the back, and Liang Xin gets along well at both ends, but he always has to remind Gao Jian

Sure enough, Gao Jian was surprised, but what he cared about was not the kung fu of the bandit leader, but asked Liang Xin with a dog's eyes: "The bandits' warships, more than 30 zhang, a total of eight?"

Liang Xin nodded, how majestic and domineering that fleet was before it was destroyed by the storm, how could he be mistaken

Gao Jian's expression was shocked, and only after a short period of time did he ask Liang Xin in a deep voice: "Do you know, what is the size of our fleet along the coast of Ge?"

After saying that, Gao Jian squatted on the wine bottle heavily, frowned and scolded: "Is this *** a bandit? If they want to fight, they can fight all the way into the Neijiang River, and the sailor can only flee for his life."

You must know that the emperors of Middle-earth have relied on horses' hooves to step out of the rivers and mountains, and the same is true in the Great Hong Dynasty, and there are no enemy countries in the outer seas of Middle-earth, at most, only on the islands and reefs in the distance, inhabited by some short and thin barbaric natives, and never dare to offend Middle-earth, so even if the king of Middle-earth establishes a naval division, most of them are used for inland rivers and lakes operations, and never attaches importance to coastal defense

It was not until recent years that the Great Hong Dynasty set up shipping, which added a naval division

Whether it is the giant ballista on the big ship, or the big ship itself, it is definitely not something that a group of pirates can build at the beginning, Liang Xin thought that the big ship on Yulu Island was robbed, but now that he knows the truth, don't lie and rob it, even if the sailor is willing, he can't get together eight giant ships just after sending them, so where did these huge pirate ships come from?

Gao Jian's expression was also extremely confused: "Going deeper, it has only been more than ten years since the imperial court opened up shipping, and before that, there were only scum ships and pirates on the sea, what was the use of these eight big ships? Moreover, neither the robbed merchant ships nor the sailors who had fought with the pirates mentioned that they had such big ships."

The bandits on the island that Liang Xin has seen are simply forces that the official does not know, and if you think about it carefully, there are too many things that make no sense

The two of them discussed a few words, but no one could figure it out, seeing that Gao Jian attached importance to this matter, and Liang Xin was a little, for fear that the Nine Dragons Division would really confront this group of bandits

Gao Jian shook his head with a smile: "As long as the case between Yulu Island and the Shentu brothers is okay, I will naturally not touch them, just rest assured" After speaking, he comforted Liang Xin instead: "I have never heard of this team before, even if they are plundered by pirates, it may not be our fleet in Middle-earth that specializes in bullying those barbarian natives in the far sea, in this way, it has nothing to do with us, don't think about it!"

Liang Xin scratched his bald head, and instructed Gao Jian a few more words, then changed the topic and talked some gossip, until the night breeze became colder and colder, and the two said goodbye

Before leaving, Gao Jian said to him again: "I can't hide this matter from adults when you come back."

Before he finished speaking, Liang Xin shook his head and smiled: "Don't hide it, just tell the truth!"

Gao Jian smiled and said, "Take care and hit the Shenxing talisman on your body, leaping like the wind, and rushing towards the direction of the town, but before you ran far, Liang Xin fell from the sky again, stopped him and said with a smile: "Later, when I patronized Yulu Island, there was something I forgot to ask you about Qianshan Road and the imperial court, there are many sects that help Qianshan Dao, are those sects?"

Gao Jian was startled, wiped the cold sweat on his nose and looked Liang Xin up and down, and said in a deep voice: "You kid must cause a big disaster!" Liang Xin smiled embarrassedly, and also lowered his voice: "This time I covered my face!"

Gao Jian laughed, he carried a carbon strip with him, took out a handkerchief and wrote down a few sects, and said with a smile: "Be careful yourself, don't let the court carry the black pot for you, and after finishing speaking, he hurriedly whispered: "In addition, don't say that Lao Tzu told those sects if something happens!"

Liang Xin put away the veil and said with a smile: "Well, I'll just say that Master Shi told me" The words fell, and after three or five vertical jumps, he disappeared at the end of his sight, carrying a huge wooden box with him, and it was really terrifying to jump in the daytime

Liang Xin was negligent, and forgot to ask Gao Jian for silver when he was separated, but when he went ashore, the fat seal gave him a neat dress, and the most rare thing was that the big box was made of excellent materials, as long as he was not blind, he could see that the box was worth a lot of money, so Liang Xin hired a big car during the day to negotiate a good price, ran all the way to the evening, and directly found the best inn in the town

No one thought that he could carry a big box to escape, and no one thought that a person who could carry a big box for thousands of miles overnight would go to the carriage to cheat the wine and food to eat from Gezhou back to Donghan, more than 5,000 miles, Liang Xin had a great time, and there were many car owners and innkeepers behind him who scolded."

In the distance, the dry mountains are in sight

Liang Xin sat in the tea rope on the side of the road, the boss is a kind person, not only sells tea, but also prepares some boiling water for passers-by, as long as he is thirsty, he comes in to drink Liang Xin is now holding a big bowl, sucking and drinking hot water, and from time to time he raised his head to look at the Qianshan in the distance and smiled

At this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and more than a dozen officials galloped past with solemn faces, and when they passed by the tea case, the first person greeted his companions, took the reins, took off the water bag from the horse's back and shouted at the tea case: "Boss, fetch water!"

The boss was familiar with this official, agreed, ran out and took the water bag, and then frowned: "Sixth master, the corners of your mouth are blistering, and you feel sorry for yourself when you are troubled by the case."

The official who called the sixth master was full of dust, sat on the horse and shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "That's what you say, but you have to do what you should do."

When the boss went to irrigate the water, the sixth master looked at Liang Xin a few times, then looked at the appalling box beside him, and frowned: "This brother is a person who practices martial arts?"

Liang Xin nodded with a smile: "Our two subordinates are not worth mentioning, but the strength is reasonable."

The sixth master smiled and instructed: "The box is not even more expensive, my brother dares to go alone, and he can't do without the four words of high and bold" Liang Xin smiled a little shyly, and the four words he couldn't do without this way were "cheating and drinking"

Then, the official no longer allowed him to be humble and polite, and Zhengse advised: "It's not peaceful here recently, brother, it's best not to rush at night, don't patronize the road, miss the accommodation, if you see anything wrong, remember to report it to the government."

After a few words, the boss filled the water bag and handed it back: "Add the bitter winter water to the bitter taste, it's no wonder, the fire is defeated" The official nodded and smiled, and after tying the water bag, he threw down a copper plate, and the boss was not allowed to shirk, and he beat the horse and chased after his companions

Liang Xin became curious, put down the big bowl and asked, "What happened to us?"

The boss took the kettle and added boiling water to him, and seeing that there were no guests around, he simply sat opposite Liang Xin: "Don't hide it from you, we haven't been very good lately."

Liang Xin immediately came to his senses, took an empty bowl upside down, picked up the kettle and brought the boss a bowl of boiled water: "You tell me"

For the first time in more than ten years, the boss was invited to boiled water by a guest, and he took a sip by the side of the bowl, and then lowered his voice and spoke: "At the beginning of spring this year, the widow Zhao in front of Shilipo was deeply infected with a serious illness and died

Liang Xin's eyes lit up, someone died, and he was still a widow, and the boss didn't pay attention to his two hundred and five expressions, and continued: "The people in the village helped to maintain the funeral, but I didn't expect that the first day I was buried, and the next day the coffin was not known to be dug out, and the body was gone, and there was no one in Widow Zhao's family, and the village only treated the corpse as if it was dragged away by wild dogs, and I didn't find it for a while, and then it was gone, but no one thought of it" Speaking of this, the boss picked up the bowl and drank again

Liang Xin was anxious, and immediately said: "Widow Zhao is alive again?"

Poof, the boss directly sprayed a mouthful of water on the ground, and shook his head while coughing: "No life, no life! Her body was lost, and everyone didn't take it seriously, but what I didn't expect was that more than three months later, Lao Liu Tou died, and three days after entering the ground, the filial son attacked it, only to find that the grave had been picked up, the oak wood was wide open, and the body was gone!"

Widow Zhao has no one at home, but Lao Liu Tou has a total of seven sons, all of whom have been holding stone locks since childhood to practice fists and feet, of course, they will not give up, and the whole Shilipo has blown up the nest, and they really searched for a while, but they were still busy in vain, and finally rushed to the county to report the case, only then did they know that it was not only Shilipo who lost the body, and several villages near the village had newly buried corpses lost

Liang Xin frowned when he heard this, but the boss of Chacha lowered his voice in shock: "The matter is not over just a few days ago, the eldest of Lao Liu's seven sons died violently, and the six brothers did a great ritual for his brother, and the scenery was very beautiful, but guess what happened?"

Liang smiled bitterly: "Boss Liu is also lost?"

The boss nodded slowly: "Yes, but it's not unusual for Boss Liu to lose it, what is strange is that the errand officer who rushed to hear the news found half a bun in the coffin,"

The boss mysteriously wanted to continue to say, but after pondering for a moment, Liang Xin shook his head and scolded with a smile: "Ridiculous! This method can also be thought of."

The boss was stunned and asked with some surprise: "Have you guessed it?"

Liang Xin drank boiled water tastelessly, but he was also practiced by the two righteous brothers for five years, and after a little pondering, he understood

If it is an ordinary family, this kind of thing can only wait for the government to solve the case, but the old Liu family is all the way, and they are unwilling to sit and wait, but there are more than 100 families in the village, and they may not be able to die in a year and a half, so they secretly discussed a plan to have the boss pretend to be dead, and the six buddies waited in ambush, waiting to catch the half of the bun in the coffin of the thief, which was the leftover from Boss Liu

The process of the matter was not complicated, Liang Xin guessed that the score was not bad, and continued to ask the boss of Chasuo: "At that time, what did the six brothers of the Liu family see?"

The boss shook his head: "The six buddies only feel that their heads are sinking, they are all dizzy, and when they wake up again, it is already noon the next day, the coffin has been thrown aside, and the boss is gone, and things are getting more and more strange, and people are panicking, so the sixth master just reminded you, don't go at night."

Zhongtu values filial piety, and takes the dead very seriously, losing the body is not a trivial matter, this time even the living are lost, the matter is even bigger, just now Liang Xin saw those errand officials running around, just for this case

Liang Xin frowned and said: "The seven brothers of the Liu family practiced martial arts, but they didn't even see the appearance of the corpse thief and fainted, most of the people who committed the crime were full of evil arts, maybe they were simply demons and monsters, I think this matter, ordinary officials may not be able to manage it, or report it, please send someone from the Nine Dragons Division to investigate."

Before he finished speaking, Liang Xin himself shook his head, Qianshan is in sight here, how can any demon dare to commit a crime here and it is impossible for the Jiulong Division to send someone down to investigate the case for the time being, not long ago, the imperial court network and the Qianshan Daozong fought a big fight, and the vicinity of Qianshan is still very sensitive, even if the Jiulong Division wants to interfere with Emperor Xizong, I am afraid he will not agree

The boss chatted with Liang Xin speculatively, and simply removed the boiled water and served him a pot of tea, which surprised Liang Xin, and said with a smile: "I don't have any money, you lost money in this transaction."

The boss also smiled and said: "You should treat it as the sixth master, just now I sent him a bitter winter, he had to give money" said and sighed: "The sixth master is the head catcher in our county, and such a case is enough for him to worry"

Liang Xin lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally laughed, and said to the boss: "After drinking the tea of the sixth master, you have to help the sixth master!" said and took out something from the package and threw it to the boss of the tea boxing: "You have a hard time, help me find the sixth master, show him this brand, I will wait for him here"

The boss is literate and hyphenation, even if he has a low status and has never seen the Tsing Yi life card, at least he knows the three big characters on the brand, "Jiulong Division, at the moment, he screamed, completely stunned, and looked at Liang Xin in a daze

Liang Xin's face was full of pride, and he couldn't hold back his smile even though he tried his best, and his expression was extremely strange: "I have other important things, I just walked by here, and my identity should be kept secret, and I shook my humble hand in front of the boss."

The boss of the tea case woke up like a dream, nodded his head busily, found a piece of cloth to wrap the life card, as if holding a piece of coal, and ran out of the tea village quickly

Liang Xin stretched comfortably, crossed his legs on the table, and smirked from time to time while thinking about this case.
