Chapter 53: Casting the Net

Tang Yu's ears were pricked up, his heart was alert, and he said, "It seems that our opponent is indeed not an idle person?"

Lin Fanghe nodded with satisfaction: "I even suspect that the forces lurking behind this group of people are far more powerful than we imagined. ”

"It's impossible, a group of gangs and gangs, young people, can still be stronger than the huge and friendless state machine?"

"It's hard to say. Lin Fanghe was stunned and said: "Since the death of the first emperor and the succession of the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen, the Ming Dynasty has entered a dangerous bottleneck era. On the surface, the wind and waves are calm, but in the interior, there are ups and downs, and undercurrents are surging......"

"Don't you understand what your lord is talking about?"

"Forget it, it's better that you don't want to know. Lin Fanghe waved his hand.

Xiang Jincheng frowned on the side, looked at the two of them suspiciously, and shouted: "I still haven't figured it out, since there are people who are traitors and criminals, why don't you just bring them to justice......?

"Can we find them now?"

Lin Fanghe was silent for a moment, half joking and half serious, and said, "He is in the dark, and I am in the light." The movement is almost completely under the supervision of others, and every move is hindered by each other, but I am afraid that before we can do it, these people will have disappeared completely?"

Several people were arguing, and Yang Laohan, who was out, led a few neighbors to go home.

Go into the house and knock on the official's errand.

One is a man in his forties with an axle with a bronze face and a strong body. The other two are tall and short, the tall one has a yellow face and no beard, and the short one is slightly fat, with short legs and a round waist. Yang Laohan ran to the back room diligently, carried out two long benches, and everyone sat down in circles.

Lin Fanghe looked at a few villagers who were full of joy, pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Are you all old residents who have lived here for a long time?"

The yellow-skinned tall man said, "Exactly." Xiao Ke's surname is Zhang, and everyone in the village calls me 'Zhang Da'. The two of them, one is called Xu Wu, a local hunter, and the other is named Xiong Yaohua, who goes to the mountains to kill pigs and sheep for others when they are busy, and they have nothing to do, and they love to fiddle with an iron medicine arrow and hit a few pheasants and hares......"

Lin Fanghe raised his head, glanced at a few people, and asked, "Which of you is Xu Wu?"

The bronze man stood up and said, "Lord Hui, it's me." ”

"Okay, sit down. Lin Fanghe smiled and asked, "What kind of equipment do you usually rely on for hunting?"

"Bows and arrows. Sometimes a throwing gun is also used. Xu Wu didn't dare to slack off.

"And how many hunters are there in this village?"

"Twenty or thirty. ”

"Can they all use bows and arrows?"

"Almost. Because you can't draw a bow and shoot arrows, you can't eat this bowl of rice. ”

"How is the archery technique?" Lin Fanghe asked again.

"What do you say, it's not easy to blow around. Xu Wu smiled shyly and pouted his head, "Anyway, you can probably get a ** not far from ten." ”

"Well, can you get these hunters together now?"

"Probably fine. In the past few months, everyone has been hiding in the house, not daring to go out, not only can there be no meat in his mother's rice bowl, and a bird fades out of his mouth, but even people are almost suffocating!" Xu Wu looked very impatient.

After Lin Fanghe finished asking, he pondered for a while, and then turned his head to the butcher. said: "Xiong Yaohua, in addition to slaughtering cattle and pigs, you also like to hunt birds and beasts, right?"

"Not bad at all. The butcher stroked his slightly raised round belly with one hand, straightened his body, and replied respectfully.

"Do you usually use animal traps, or do you use drugs?"

"I use them all, and sometimes I like to make some sticky nets and sticky birds. After it was over, I took it to a restaurant outside the mountain to sell it. ”

"Is the trap one big?"

"No, the large traps weigh more than 10 catties or 20 catties, which are relatively cumbersome, and most of them are used to deal with wild wolves or leopards. Xiong Yaohua saw that the adult was serious, and hurriedly explained in a low voice: "I use a small one, which is lightweight, easy to carry, and buried in the ground and not easy to be found. The success rate is relatively high. ”

Lin Fanghe nodded in agreement: "That's right, Xiong Yaohua, how many such traps do you have at home?"

Xiong Yaohua scratched his head and thought about it, and replied, "There are probably ** ones." ”

Zhang Da sat next to him for a long time, and when he saw that everyone didn't mention exorcising ghosts and catching demons, he didn't feel anxious. He stood up and bowed to Lin Fanghe: "My lord, you can be offended, don't dare to ask, can you really cast a spell to catch demons? Everyone is counting on you now." ”

Lin Fanghe smiled and said: "It's a trivial matter, it's as easy as a hand." But you need a little help, and I can do ......"

Zhang Da wondered in his heart: "I'm a mortal, I'm stupid, and I don't know how to use spells, what can I help?"

"Don't be verbose, this official has his own clever plan in his chest.

Lin Fanghe looked like he was in his chest, and continued: "You all go back to your own homes, wait patiently, and everything must be done according to my instructions after dark." There must be no mistakes. Catch ghosts and collect demons, just tonight-"

Everyone agreed, took their leave, and left.

Yang Laohan stepped over on empty crutches, looked at a few people in the room flatteringly, and said, "Everyone has worked hard, what can I do for you, little old man?"

Lin Fanghe said: "Old man Yang, we have been busy with our journey since the morning, and we have to deal with so many things when we get here, and we haven't bothered to eat until now. Please give Zhang Luo a little bit, don't be good, just fill your stomach? We will pay for the food and vegetables......"

"You are kind enough to help us catch demons, and you don't charge money, shouldn't you eat a few meals?" Yang Laohan snorted and walked to the kitchen. "What else is the money?"

"Gotta give. ”

Lin Fanghe looked back at the two subordinates, raised his thick eyebrows, and his eyes lit up: "Success or failure is all in tonight." ”

"Lord Lin, are you really sure?" Tang Yu was a little nervous.

Lin Fanghe rubbed his slightly swollen temples, sat on the stool beside him unhurriedly, looked at Tang and Xiang, and lowered his voice and said, "After eating in a while, you will act separately." Tang Yu went to find the butcher Xiong Yaohua, Xiang Jincheng, you meet Xu Wu who was hunting with a bow, gather people, and wait for orders. After dark, do so and so. Be careful not to keep it secret, and never let outsiders see it?"

When Tang Yu heard this, he admired and admired: "My lord, there really is yours! Are those things casually furnished?"

"Of course not, we must arrange the formation in the shape of the nine palace gossip, there is life and death, and there is life and death. Lin Fanghe said, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Tang Yu.

turned to Xiang Jincheng and said: "Everything is supervised by you, you must advance and retreat with evidence, not rush up, and the formation and echelon configuration ......"

"Everyone knows that the miscellaneous army is difficult to bring, these hunters are used to being loose, wolves and dogs are not good, they are not as good as the miscellaneous army!" Xiang Jincheng gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and burst out a few words from between his teeth, "If you want these people to be obedient, the order must be forbidden, and the enforcement must be strict - if any dog mongrel dares to be disobedient, I will kick him lightly, and if I am in a hurry, Lao Tzu really dares to cut off his head!"
