Great Song catcher

Chapter 282
"It turned out to be Mr. Zhang."

Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming bowed slightly to the old scholar.

Seeing this, the old scholar quickly stood up and returned the salute: "Mr. He Tan, you two adults don't have to be so polite. If you want to ask the little old man, the little old man will definitely tell you."

"If that's the case, then we won't be polite."

Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming glanced at each other, and then said, "Sir, have you ever heard that half a month ago, the imperial court's disaster relief money was robbed by strongmen in Hebei Province?"

"The little old man has heard about it."

The old scholar nodded and said: "A few days ago, I wanted to go to Huaizhou to write letters for others in exchange for some food. As a result, people in the city were discussing this matter, saying that the imperial court's disaster relief money was robbed by bandits, and now the whole city is in chaos."

"Does the old man know who did it?"

"This old man doesn't know."

The old scholar quickly shook his head, for fear that Nie Feng and the others would think that he was also involved in this matter.

"Old man, don't get me wrong."

Nie Feng pondered for a moment, then changed his words: "Then let me ask, does the old man know where the disaster relief money was robbed?"

"I heard from people in the city that it seems that the incident happened at Liulong's mouth, and that all the officers and soldiers escorting the disaster silver died there." The old scholar thought for a while and said.

"Liu Longkou?"

Nie Feng frowned slightly, and turned to look at Chen Liu, "Brother Chen, how far is this Liulongkou from Huaizhou City?"

Huaizhou City is the largest city in the territory of Hebei Province, and it is also the administrative center of Hebei Province. After the relief money is distributed to Hebei Province, it must first be transported to the bank of Hebei Province, and then the lower-level officials will come according to the situation of the state or county where they are located. Receive disaster relief money.

No matter which route the 300 million taels of disaster relief money takes, it must eventually enter the treasury of Huaizhou.

"The terrain at Liulongkou is steep. It's just [-] miles away from Huaizhou City. There are few people there on weekdays. Even the hunters around rarely go there."

After hearing Nie Feng's question, Chen Liu quickly walked over and answered.

"Then is Liulongkou the only way to Huaizhou?" Nie Feng continued to ask.

"I don't know this little one."

Chen Liu said with some embarrassment.

At this time, the old scholar said: "Your Excellency is right, this Liulongkou is the only way to Huaizhou City, there are cliffs on both sides, and only the official road in the middle can allow people to walk."

Nie Feng nodded thoughtfully. It seems that the opponent chose to attack Liulongkou because of the dangerous situation there. As long as the agency information is ambushed in advance, and then a surprise strategy is adopted, the entire army of the disaster silver guards will be wiped out. It is not difficult.

"but……"

A trace of hesitation appeared on the old scholar's face.

"But what?"

Xiao Wuming said: "If the old man thinks of something, just say it directly."

"The old man only heard from his elders when he was a child that besides the official road, Liulongkou has a small road that can be used by people. It is on the cliffs on both sides, but no one has ever found that small road, so the small road I don’t even know if it’s true or not.”

Nie Feng nodded. This is a clue. If there is that small road, maybe the gang of thieves moved through this small road. After all, there are usually many people on the official road, so it is easy to be seen by others.

"Also, does the old man know who are the big bandits and bandits in Hebei Road?"

Nie Feng then asked.

As people who were born and raised in Hebei Province, they must be very familiar with the bandits and bandits here, but Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming are outsiders, and they don't know the situation here at all.

Although there are records in the six gates, many cottages have been wiped out. No one knows if there are new cottages that are powerful but low-key in the past ten years.

"This one……"

The old scholar hesitated.

"Don't worry, old man. We will never publicize this matter. It's just that the robbery of the disaster money may be related to them, so I'm asking about it."

Nie Feng knew the old man's scruples. He was worried that if the news leaked out, those bandits would not dare to do anything to him and Xiao Wuming, but would instead take their anger out on them, so Nie Feng directly reassured them, "And they If we really dare to trouble you, we will certainly not sit idly by."

With that said, Nie Feng took out his badge.

"My lord is a person with six doors?"

The old scholar was well-informed, so he recognized Nie Feng's identity at a glance.

"Should I believe this time, right?"

Nie Feng put away his badge.

"Since this is the case, the old man has nothing to hide."

The old scholar said: "There used to be a lot of Jiangyang thieves in the territory of Hebei Province, but later they were captured by Mr. Yang of the Six Doors and wiped out most of them. Only a few cottages escaped the catastrophe. Among them, the most powerful ones are the three."

The chief catcher Yang of the six gates in his mouth is Yang Yi, the chief catcher of the six gates in Hebei Province, the golden eagle. Many things, not under the hands of Shaolin Dragon Claw.

It is said that his cultivation base has already reached half-stepping into the gods, and he is only one step away from seeing through the mystery of entering the gods, becoming the ninth heavenly arrester of the Song Dynasty.

Lai Xiucai continued: "The first is the Juyi Hall. Although they are called bandits, I heard that they are all veterans who retired from the army. They hurt the people around them, but sometimes they also take the initiative to help the villagers repair their houses, so everyone thinks of them very well."

"The second is the eight-armed saber of Hell Valley. This man is ruthless and powerful in martial arts. The cottage is full of desperadoes. Later, Mr. Yang took the initiative to lead people to wipe out Hell Valley, but although Hell Valley was wiped out , but the backbone of the cottage has all escaped, so it seems that the strength has been greatly reduced, but in fact there is no injury at all."

The old scholar talked eloquently, and he seemed to have a deep understanding of these things. Nie Feng looked at him gradually with strange eyes. These anecdotes of the world are not something that an ordinary old scholar can know, and what he knows is so clear. .

"Old man, should you also tell us the truth?"

Nie Feng smiled lightly and said: "With your knowledge and knowledge, you can never be an ordinary scholar. If you don't tell lies in front of real people, we can reveal the truth to you."

"What do you say, my lord..."

Looking at the eyes of Nie Feng and Xiao Wuming, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the old scholar, and all the aging spirit on his body faded away. Although his hair was still gray, it gave people the feeling like the scorching sun rising into the sky.

Master!

This old scholar not only understands martial arts, but also has reached the peak of internal cultivation, he is a rare master of nourishing qi.

But how could such a master of martial arts be willing to live in seclusion in this small mountain village, and even pretend to be like the sunset in the west mountain?

"Dare to ask your honorable name..."

Nie Feng was not sure whether he was an enemy or a friend, and secretly prepared to attack.
