Poverty

Chapter 46 Elder Wu

This ship is huge from a distance, but it is even more majestic when it gets closer.

The hull is more than 200 feet long, and the cabin on the deck has three floors and more than 30 portholes.

One of them was on, and there was a human voice.

There was no one on the deck.

Wang Butou frowned and said, "A place like this kind of main rudder should have a bright tip and a dark whistle, but it's really too quiet here."

There was a bad premonition in his heart.

Today's matter is probably not as simple as exterminating Jianghu gangs, it is very likely that dirty things are causing trouble.

After all, as far as is known, at least one member of the Five Lakes Gang is good at raising ghosts and can refine ghosts to live on ordinary people.

This point is the same as what happened to his concubine Yueniang.

Li Yanchu said softly, "I'll take a look."

As soon as the words fell, Li Yanchu rushed out with his body close to the ground without making the slightest movement.

About a foot away from the porthole, Li Yanchu suddenly slashed his palm!
boom!
Sawdust splashed, and Li Yanchu directly entered the cabin.

But the room where the voice came from was empty at this time.

Li Yanchu's eyes sank, and his whole body was like a giant wild beast, directly bumping into the wall in the cabin!
boom!
A man-high hole appeared in the wall, and Li Yanchu rushed out from the hole.

boom!
They searched three rooms in a row, and the room where there were voices was quiet now.

Wang Butou on the deck showed envy when he saw Li Yanchu's skill.

Compared with when he dealt with Zhao Wu's cast evil corpse in Tsing Yi Niangniang Temple, Taoist Yan Chu's martial arts were more refined.

Zhang Zhiliang showed a look of horror.

Did he really make this movement alone? ?

Make sure it's not the ferocious beasts in the mountains that went mad.

Ah no, even the strong and muscular Xiong Xiazi, or the wild boar king who weighed four to five hundred catties, did not have Li Yanchu's terrifying aura.

Li Yanchu flew out, frowned and said: "No one, there was no one in that room just now."

Wang Butou's expression changed, did something strange happen in the first step of the encirclement and suppression operation tonight?
"Daoist Yanchu, do you think it is a man-made disaster or an evil spirit?" Wang Butou asked.

Li Yanchu had just used the look-out technique, and he couldn't see any problems with this giant ship.

"I don't know for sure, this place is a bit strange, anyway, let the brothers proceed carefully." Li Yanchu said.

Wang Butou nodded, and ordered: "Go in and search for me! Three people in a group, don't act without authorization, find them out for me!"

"Yes!"

Behind them, the yamen servants with swords and Xiangyong, holding torches, started the search!

pedal!pedal!pedal!
Heavy footsteps sounded, and a group of people acted like wolves and tigers.

but.

There is no one at the helm of the huge Five Lakes Gang!
Not only were the ordinary gang members who were on guard with knives gone, but even the senior members of the gang and the gang leader, Sun Hong, were all gone.

"Could it be that Gongsun Hong knew the news in advance and escaped overnight." A yamen servant asked.

Wang Butou frowned, tonight's action was the temporary idea of ​​Xu Zhixian, and he personally led people to the action and came straight out of the city.

Unless there is an inner ghost?

When he expressed his concerns, Li Yanchu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, since there are brothers and sisters Zhang Zhiliang lurking in the city, there must be other gang members as well."

"It may be a master of lightness kungfu who is good at flying over eaves and walls, and it is unknown if he rushed back to the city to report in advance."

"Also, the person who refines ghosts in the Five Lakes Clan doesn't know what method he has, maybe something went wrong with him."

Wang Butou calmed down a bit.

Tonight, the Weicheng government brigade rushed out of the city to wipe out the Wuhu gang.

Returning without success is another aspect. If there are ghosts in the government, this matter will be terrible.

"My lord, we found 11 members of the Five Lakes Gang in the bilge, all of whom were bound hands and feet."

A yamen servant came up to report.

Catcher Wang's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Bring it up!"

Soon, the guard with the knife brought over the Wuhu gang who were imprisoned in the bilge, and one of them was a red-faced old man who was very eye-catching.

He has a burly figure, half a head taller than ordinary people, and his palm joints are thick, obviously he has practiced horizontal and hard skills.

And it's hot.

"Elder Wu." Zhang Zhiliang blurted out.

Li Yanchu glanced at him and asked, "You know him?"

Zhang Zhiliang nodded and said: "Elder Wu is a veteran of the gang, with a fiery temper, disliked by the young and strong leaders of the gang, he went out to work a few days ago, and his whereabouts are unknown, unexpectedly he was imprisoned here."

Elder Wu had his hands tied behind his back. Although he was over [-] years old, he was still a hunchback. On the way, he learned from the yamen servant that the government was encircling and suppressing the Five Lakes Gang.

Seeing Zhang Zhiliang at this time, he immediately cursed: "You bastard, it turns out that you betrayed the Five Lakes Gang!"

A stern look flashed in Zhang Zhiliang's eyes, and he said with a sneer, "Elder Wu, the Five Lakes Gang secretly hid gunpowder with evil intentions.

"Bah!" Elder Wu scolded angrily, "You shameless villain, thanks to the fact that you are still old man Ren's disciple, he is really blind to accept you as a disciple."

Zhang Zhiliang said in a deep voice: "The Five Lakes Gang treats me like a pig and a dog. I go through life and death for the gang, but the gang leader has planted a ghost in me and wants to kill people to silence me. Why should I work for such a gang?"

"You!" Elder Wu seemed to be quite critical of Gongsun Chong in the gang, but he didn't refute Zhang Zhiliang's words immediately.

Catcher Wang winked, and the yamen servant behind him threw a scabbard on Elder Wu's neck, and the hulking old man seemed to be injured.

He knelt down half-kneeling directly with the fierce scabbard on his back, but his expression was still extremely fierce.

"You lackeys of the government, if grandpa is not injured, he can tear you to pieces with one hand." Elder Wu cursed angrily.

Wang Butou shouted coldly: "Wu Qiushan, if you speak rudely and are obsessed with your obsession, you are ignoring the lives of dozens of people behind you!"

"The Five Lakes gang secretly hid gunpowder, and there is solid evidence. If you don't want to behead all the disciples in the gang and harm your wife, children, and children, then you will bring in the whole story."

Wang Butou looked stern. He has hunted down thieves all the year round, and he is very familiar with these hard-headed rivers and lakes.

If you threaten your life, it may not be useful.

But if he threatens his wife, children, and brothers, it will basically work.

Perhaps no matter how vicious a person is, there is a soft spot in his heart.

As expected, Elder Wu was at a loss for words, and his eyes showed a fierce light, but he stopped swearing.

Wang Butou is also a well-known figure in the boundary of Weicheng. He was a ruthless man who suppressed bandits alone when he was young.

There are indeed many desperadoes who have fallen into the hands of Catcher Wang these years.

Seeing that Elder Wu was stunned, Catcher Wang sneered, and said, "Who are the members of Wuhu gang, who on earth wounded you and tied you to the bilge."

"Also, where did Gongsun Hong escape to!?"
