After a while, Ding Yu wrapped the washed belt around his waist, put the Burmese knife into the sheath, put the purse away, carried two big fish that had just been fished out of the river in his left hand, and held a few dandelions in his right hand, and returned to the fire.

At this time, Wu Shuang had already rekindled the fire, Ding Yu put the fish aside, kneaded the dandelion into mud with both hands, and applied it to the burn on his chest, and then asked about Wu Shuang's task while preparing to grill the fish.

Wu Shuang frowned, was silent for a long time, and finally said angrily: "That's it, anyway, it's not a secret of the rivers and lakes, I'll tell you the truth......"

It turned out that Wu Shuang was not really the head catcher of the six gates, she belonged to an organization called "Hunting Village", which was the periphery of the six gates. The members of the hunting village are actually similar to the bounty hunters recognized by the imperial court, and they usually have no money, and they all rely on completing the tasks issued by the hunting village to receive the bounty.

There are two main types of hunting tasks: the head quest and the stolen goods quest.

The head mission is aimed at the fugitive Jiangyang thieves, as long as they bring back the fugitives, they can receive a bounty, and the life or death of the fugitives depends on the requirements of the mission.

The task of recovering stolen goods is like Zhang Neng, who stole valuable stolen goods, and the owner paid a high price to recover them. The mission is only completed when the lost property is recovered, and the lives of the bandits are secondary.

I don't know who set up the organization, at first Liumen was reluctant to deal with it, but soon they discovered the advantages of this organization: Liezhuang found the property for the owner, the owner will close the case, and the yamen increased the political achievements; after the hunting village captured the fugitives, because the hunting village is not an official organization, it still has to be handed over to the six doors or the yamen to deal with, so the government still increases the political achievements; and for those rich and noble families who have lost their property, although it costs a lot of money to find the lost property, they have finally recovered a lot of losses, so they are also willing。

For Hunters, they work with Six Doors. It is equivalent to being recognized by the government, and the credibility will naturally increase, and the business will be much more than before.

Gradually, the cooperation between Liezhuang and Six Doors became closer and closer, and finally it simply became the peripheral organization of Six Doors.

In the hunting village, members are divided into hunters, headhunters, hunters, and grand hunters according to their ranks. Each level can only receive tasks for that level. You can only advance after completing a certain number of missions. On the contrary, if the mission fails, it will affect the promotion or even demotion.

Wu Shuang has just recently been promoted from a hunter to a headhunter, and retrieving the Imperial Python Dragon Cup is her first task after upgrading, and after completing it, she can get a reward of silver equivalent to 30% of the price of the Python Dragon Cup, that is, 3,000 taels of silver.

She thought that with her martial arts skills that were higher than Zhang Neng, and with the information about Zhang Neng given by Liezhuang, this task could be easily completed. Unexpectedly, although Zhang Neng's martial arts are only second-rate midstream, his light skills are not worse than her, and he is cunning, and he realized that something was wrong before she was arrested, and he immediately ran away. The two chased and fled, entangled for three days and three nights, and finally Zhang Neng was killed by Ding Yu.

When I think of the failure of the mission, I don't know how many trivial tasks I have to do to return to headhunting. Wu Shuang couldn't keep up her spirits anymore.

Listening to Wu Shuang's words, Ding Yu thought in his heart: The so-called Python Dragon Cup is worth 10,000 gold. I think a lot of it is on the word "royal gift", this kind of hot red goods want to sell, and they can't even sell it at a price of 20%. What's more, I don't know a lot of life, I only know one name, and trying to find the python cup is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Instead of this, it is better to cooperate with Wu Shuang. After finding the stolen goods, I will be rewarded with five or five points of silver, and I will also collect some news about the rivers and lakes by the way.

Thinking of this, Ding Yu said to Wu Shuang: "Regarding the whereabouts of the python dragon cup, I know a key clue. However, the poor monk has been shy recently, and if Wu Zhutou is willing to share half of the reward with me. I'm willing to give you a lead. ”

Wu Shuang was overjoyed at first, and then exclaimed: "Half of the reward for silver? How is this possible? Do you know how much effort and effort I have put into catching this Zhang Neng! Just to get news of him from the hunting village, I have done five or six trivial tasks, and you have to go half of them in one mouth, how can there be such a cheap thing!"

Ding Yu smiled and said: "The account can't be counted like this, if there is no news, this task has basically failed, as you just said, the task fails, not only will there be no bounty, but it will also be deducted and demoted." On the other hand, if you get the news, although the reward is less, the task is completed. The gap is far greater than more than a thousand taels of silver. ”

The two argued for a long time, although Ding Yu was a little impatient, but her trust in Wu Shuang increased a little bit, and she negotiated so hard one by one, which showed that she had no intention of repenting her promise.

Of course, trust is trust, and what should be fought for has to be fought for, he is not worried that Wu Shuang will not agree, without it, he will not be able to find the python dragon cup, Ding Yu is a big deal, but she will suffer losses.

When Wu Shuang nodded with a painful face, Ding Yu retold the last conversation between him and Zhang Neng, and Wu Shuang muttered: "In this way, Zhang Neng handed over the python dragon cup to a woman named Yang Xiuhong, according to the information I received, Zhang Neng is a lone thief and has never been married, so Yang Xiuhong is either a stolen goods seller, or his relatives and friends, or simply his concubine." ”

"This is difficult to do, if Yang Xiuhong is a concubine, then it is okay, she must live near Zhang Neng's house. But if she is the one who sells the stolen goods, the two may be separated by dozens or hundreds of miles, so as to ensure that one party will not implicate the other. Therefore, the difference in Yang Xiuhong's identity means different tracking directions. And Zhang Neng's family lives in Asbestos Town, which is where those pawn tickets are located, hundreds of miles away from here. If you get it wrong, you will be delayed for a while to make a detour around this big bend. ”

Ding Yu agreed with Wu Shuang's judgment of Yang Xiuhong's identity, but he thought about it and said, "Yang Xiuhong should not be a stolen goods seller." ”

Wu Shuangqi said: "How do you know?"

Ding Yu had been mixed with the Twelve Stars of the Great Thief for several years, and he was no stranger to the doorway. He said: "If Zhang Neng has already handed over the python dragon cup to the stolen goods seller, then he will at least get part of the payment." The python dragon cup is worth 10,000 gold, and no matter how much he discounts, he should get a few thousand taels of silver. Even if Zhang Neng was cautious by nature and hid most of the silver taels, he should still have a few hundred taels on him, not a dozen taels of broken silver. ”

Wu Shuang's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's right, then let's go directly to Asbestos Town to find Yang Xiuhong!"

Ding Yu thought for a while and said, "It's better for Wu Zhutou to explain Zhang Neng's treasure theft in detail, and let's see if there are any other clues." ”

Although Wu Shuang was quite confident in her judgment, she had nothing to do for a long night, and Ding Yu was now her partner, so she told Ding Yu all the details she knew.

Five days ago, Geng Bing Day, is the birthday of Liu Shilang in Yazhou City, that night he feasted relatives and friends at home, after the wine was hot, he also took out the python dragon cup to show off, but in the early morning of the next day, the python dragon cup has disappeared.

Liu Shilang immediately found the local yamen in Yazhou, which was related to the things given by the emperor, and the local yamen did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the six doors to recover the lost property. As an expert in dealing with such affairs, Hunter Zhuang naturally took over the matter.

The news of Hunting Village is really powerful, and in less than half a day, I have received accurate news that the one who stole the python dragon cup was the famous lone bandit on West Sichuan Road, Zhang Neng, the treasure thief. Not only that, but even Zhang Neng's location at the time was clearly investigated.

Wu Shuang, who had just been upgraded to a headhunter, took over the task of recovering the lost property, she set off in the afternoon of the same day, and tracked Zhang Neng not far from Asbestos Town in the evening, but unfortunately the guy was too vigilant, and when he was about to arrest him, he saw through the tracks, and then the two chased and ran for hundreds of miles, all the way from Asbestos to this dense forest.

The two chatted while eating grilled fish, and finally figured out the details roughly. The two of them sat cross-legged for a few hours, and when the sky was slightly bright, they set off for Asbestos Town. (To be continued.) )
