Those years when I fished in Zhenwu Division

Chapter 100 Anyuan County

Anyuan County is located more than 300 miles northwest of Tai'an City. Because it is backed by the Monster Mist Forest, the main livelihood of the people in the city is various industries related to monsters.

Warriors from the rivers and lakes gather here to hunt and kill monsters in groups, and then bring the corpses of monsters to Anyuan County for sale. Business travelers from all over the world will also come here to buy monster crystals, animal skins, and animal meat, and then transport them. It is sold to all parts of Jingzhou.

When the sun was about to set, the outline of Anyuan County finally appeared in the field of vision of Su Yu and his party of 20 people.

"Is this Anyuan County?"

While washing the nose of the horse by the river, Su Yu looked at Anyuan County in the distance, feeling speechless.

Anyuan County, which came into view, looked like a beast dormant on the ground. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a city.

"The permanent population of Anyuan County is more than 100 million people. They are all engaged in various industries of processing monster corpses. There are nearly [-] Jianghu warriors who make a living here all the year round."

Lu Ze on the side introduced: "It is said that Anyuan County could have been planned as a city, but because there are many warriors here and the law and order is extremely poor, the proposal to build a city has been shelved in the end."

Speaking of this, Lu Ze looked around and ordered: "There are a lot of Jianghu warriors gathered in Anyuan County, everyone should change their flying fish suits to avoid unnecessary conflicts in the city."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded, and then took off their bags one after another, changed the flying fish suits on their bodies, and put on a strong outfit of a warrior.

There are martial artists from all over the world in Anyuan County, but they are accustomed to strange people and strange clothes.

However, for Zhen Wusi, who suppressed the Jianghu, the warriors in the Jianghu hardly had any favorable impression of Zhen Wuwei, and the two sides were naturally hostile.

"Tsk, this Anyuan County is really big enough."

Ji Longcheng couldn't help sighing, and then changed the topic: "I just don't know if there is a place like Goulan brothel here, otherwise it would be too boring to stay here for such a long period of time."

When the people around heard his words, their faces twitched violently.

Co-authored This is in Tai'an City Goulan Tired of hearing, decided to go to another place to experience the humanistic customs?
The corner of Lu Ze's mouth twitched, trying to maintain his superficial majesty, and said: "Jilong City, this Anyuan County has no Jiaofangsi, and there are brothels, brothels, Goulan and other romantic places."

"But you have to be careful, this place is not at the feet of the emperor. Most of the people who linger in these romantic places are also warriors in the world. These guys hang their heads on their belts to make a living, and they will draw their swords if they disagree. facing each other."

"It's even possible that the girl you're sleeping with tonight is his best friend, so he dares to rush in with a knife and chop the mandarin duck."

"You don't want good things to be disturbed by a Jianghu warrior rushing in with a knife?"

After Lu Ze finished speaking, everyone looked at Ji Longcheng with mocking expressions.

Facing everyone's eyes, Ji Longcheng's face turned green.

He still remembered the events of his mission in Ningxi County last month. If Su Yu hadn't rushed to inform him, he and Chen Beijiang might have ended up in a miserable situation.

Even if the other party guessed that his status as Zhenwuwei would not kill people and hang him in a brothel and beat him up, that would be unacceptable.

He didn't want to go through this kind of thing again.

"Okay, let's go on, everyone, and try to get to Anyuan County before dark."

After Lu Ze's words fell, everyone who had already changed into their best attire got on their horses one after another, and headed straight for Anyuan County.

As the saying goes, Wangshan ran dead horses until night fell, and the shops on both sides of the streets in Anyuan County had already lit up their lanterns. Su Yu and his party finally rushed to Anyuan County, and then went straight to the county government.

For the county government of Anyuan County, the biggest responsibility of the county government is to protect the personal and property of ordinary people from the infringement of Jianghu warriors.

If it is a fight and fight between Jianghu warriors, then the greatest use of the county government is to wait for the two parties to be born and die, and then arrange for people to collect the corpses
But once the civilians in Anyuan County died at the hands of Jianghu warriors, the county government would ask the Zhenwu Division for help and ask him to send people to arrest the murderers and give justice to the dead.

Guo Yuantao's repeated murders, and even the robbery and defilement of a good family, have already spread in Anyuan County.

The warriors in the rivers and lakes watched all this with cold eyes, as if they had nothing to do with themselves, and even secretly ridiculed that Zhen Wusi was a bunch of drunks and rice bags, and the matter had not been resolved in the past few months.

……

Anyuan County, county government.

In the living room, a middle-aged man paced back and forth with a pale face.

He is the magistrate of Anyuan County, Xue Hong.

Just today, people from Anyuan County came to report to the officials. Last night, a 13-year-old girl in the city accidentally disappeared while playing in the street. When she was found this morning, she was in a remote place in the city. In the alley, the girl's clothes were disheveled, and the words "Guo Yuantao" were engraved on her face.

Guo Yuantao's move was undoubtedly a provocation and mockery to the Zhenwu Division and the county government.

Now the people in the city are already panicking, and even wealthy households with slightly better families are already preparing to relocate their families.

After all, no one knows whether Guo Yuantao's next target will be himself?

Although the main business of the rich households who settled in Anyuan County was to make a living by processing monster corpses, but when the lives and properties of themselves and their family members were threatened, was the business still important?

Once these wealthy households relocate and take away the business that originally belonged to Anyuan County, it will definitely have an impact on various industries in Anyuan County.

You must know that Jiuling County, which is the closest to Anyuan County, is only fifty miles away. Once these wealthy households choose to move to Jiuling County to continue to engage in various industries of monsters, it will be a fatal blow to Anyuan County.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Xue Hong murmured anxiously.

According to the news from Zhenwu Division, Zhenwuwei, who has already accepted the mission, will arrive today.

But now it was already dark, and no one of Zhenwuwei had been seen yet.

Not only that, but I heard that there were two school lieutenants who accepted this task, which made him a little frightened. Can this be resolved?

"Ugh"

Looking at the night outside the door, Xue Hong couldn't help sighing softly.

In the past few months, he has been disturbed by Guo Yuantao's affairs, and he has had trouble sleeping and eating.

If Guo Yuantao had killed warriors in the Jianghu, he would not be so impatient, and he was even happy to watch a good show and let them go dog to dog.

However, the people Guo Yuantao targeted were mainly wealthy households in the county, which made it difficult for him to accept.

The business that these wealthy households are engaged in is the processing of monster beast corpses. The warriors in the rivers and lakes hunt and kill monsters, mainly selling them to these wealthy households, and then transporting them to various places for retail sale.

Anyuan County's main source of income is these rich households.

The willingness of the rich to pay taxes requires the protection of the county government, so that they can do business here safely without being threatened by martial artists.

But when life and property are both impacted, who would dare to continue doing business in Anyuan County?
In the Great Wei Dynasty, monster forests spread all over Kyushu. At worst, you can continue to do business in another place. You may earn a little less, but compared to your life, it doesn't matter.

"My lord, someone outside wants to see you."

At this moment, a guard at the gate walked in quickly and said respectfully.

"No, I don't want to see anyone right now." Xue Hong said frantically, flicking his sleeves.

"My lord, that man said they came from Tai'an City." The guard said again.

Tai'an city?
Xue Hong's eyes lit up, and he said, "How many of them are there?"

"There are about 20 people, each of them is leading a horse, as if they have driven a long distance." The guard said.

20 people?From Tai'an City?
Xue Hong hurriedly said: "Hurry up, please. No, I will pick it up in person, and you will immediately order the chef to prepare the wine and food!"

He was almost certain that the person who came was the Zhenwuwei of Zhenwu Division.

In any case, these people are the only ones who can solve his urgent needs now.

"Yes."

After the guard finished speaking, he went straight out to the back kitchen.

"Are you all from Zhen Wusi?"

Xue Hong walked quickly to the county government office, looked at the group of people in front of him, walked up to the two leaders, and asked tentatively.

They were not wearing flying fish suits, and Xue Hong was not sure if they were from Zhen Wusi.

"good"

Lin Canglan nodded and said with a smile: "Master Xue, this mission is for me and Master Lu to participate together with our subordinates."

Then he introduced: "My official Lin Canglan, this is Master Lu Zelu."

Zhen Wusi does not participate in government affairs, and is only responsible to the emperor, so even if he meets local officials, no matter what the other party's rank is, they can treat each other as equals.

"Master Lin, Lord Lu, Xue Mou welcomes you from a distance, welcomes you from a distance."

"Come here, hurry up and take the horses of the adults to the stables so that they can be entertained."

Xue Hong said with a joyful face: "Please come inside quickly. You must have traveled three hundred miles to Anyuan County. It must have been exhausting. Xue has already arranged a banquet in the back kitchen to welcome everyone."

After half an hour, the maid kept bringing dishes to the table, and there were two tables of various dishes in the living room.

Su Yu couldn't help sighing secretly, Anyuan County is really rich in monster resources, there are at least twenty kinds of monster meat gathered on the table.

The three teams under Lin Canglan arranged a table, and the three teams under Lu Ze arranged a table.

As for Lu Ze, Lin Canglan, and Xue Hong, they arranged another table.

As Su Yu, who is already a regular customer of the Grand Hyatt Inn, he has also estimated the approximate prices of the three tables of dishes.

These three tables of dishes, the cost alone may not be worth 1000 taels of silver.

After careful cooking by the back chef, the price of this table dish is at least 2000 taels of silver in the restaurant.

"Ma De, the county magistrate of Anyuan County is really rich."

Looking at the big table full of dishes, Ji Longcheng couldn't help lowering his voice and said with emotion: "Even if the prefect is used to change his county magistrate, I'm afraid he won't change it."

The others couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

As the county magistrate of Anyuan County, Xue Hong is the most powerful person in the county.

And it just happened to be assigned to a county full of oil and water, who would want to go to a remote mountain to be a prefect of Laoshizi?
With the treatment they have encountered many times when they go out to perform missions, it is rare to encounter such a rich hospitality.

Sure enough, the treatment for those who follow the captain to perform missions are different.

Xue Hong raised his wine glass, looked around, and said loudly: "Everyone has come from a long way, please prepare a little thin wine, if the hospitality is not good, please forgive me!"

"There are so many of you, if Xue is asked to drink one by one, then Xue will have to climb down from the table today, otherwise, if Xue drank three cups in a row, it is right for Xue to toast everyone."

"Xue goes first!"

After finishing speaking, Xue Hong poured wine one cup after another into his mouth.

After three glasses of wine, Xue Hong's face turned rosy.

Perhaps because of staying in a place like Anyuan County where there is a lot of gangsters all year round, Xue Hong has also picked up some reckless habits of warriors.

"Okay, Mr. Xue is really huge!"

Lu Ze praised: "Master Xue, a person who has never learned martial arts, can toast you three times in a row. How can you let Master Xue look down upon you?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Ze also stood up and said, "Everyone, three cups to Mr. Xue!"

"Respect Master Xue!"

Everyone got up one after another and drank three glasses in a row.

A smile immediately appeared on Xue Hong's face. For an ordinary person like him, drinking three glasses of spirits in a row is not an easy task.

All the people present were not playing tricks, and they all paid him three glasses of wine, which undoubtedly gave him enough face.

Xue Hong greeted: "Everyone, eat vegetables quickly. These are monsters that were hunted and killed in the Monster Mist Forest. I don't know if the talismans suit everyone's appetite. Let's taste it quickly and see how it tastes."

The way to promote friendship between men is undoubtedly the fastest way to go to the wine table and listen to music.

After drinking three rounds and cooking five flavors, Xue Hong and Lu Ze Lin Canglan almost reached the point of calling each other brothers.

As for the six squads under the two school lieutenants, they also became acquainted with each other during the process of toasting each other.

"Brother Lin, brother Lu, you don't know something. Xue was assigned to be the county magistrate of Anyuan County, which seems to be the best, but Xue is suffering."

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Xue Hong also opened up the conversation, and his tone became choked up.

"That guy named Guo Yuantao, who appeared in Anyuan County in April, has committed more than ten unspeakable crimes in the city."

"Zhen Wusi has also sent six groups of people, and they were able to capture or even kill Guo Yuantao every time. I have also seen that guy several times in the prison, and even saw his dead body with my own eyes."

"But every time I feel that he is dead, and even send a public list to inform the people in the city, but that guy will appear out of thin air again, and he is still alive and well?"

"You say, what can I do? I can only continue to ask Zhen Wusi to send someone to solve this matter. If it is possible, I don't want to see that guy alive again than you Zhen Wusi."

"I know Zhen Wusi may be too troublesome, but you say, what can I do?"

"If this matter is not resolved, everyone in the city will be in danger. Now the people in the city are even spreading the word that Guo Yuantao's guy is a fierce ghost, he can't be killed at all, and he is even planning to move his home to other places."

Xue Hong took a deep breath, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Now Anyuan County has reached the point where it is struggling, and I ask you adults to contribute more to help Anyuan County overcome this difficulty!"

"At that time, Xue will still have the people in the city, and there will be great thanks!"

"Master Xue is serious."

Lu Ze smiled and said, "Since we have taken on this task, we naturally hope to make it perfect."

"Please rest assured, Master Xue. Whether it is to capture Guo Yuantao or kill Guo Yuantao, we will continue to stay in Anyuan County for a while. We will not return to Tai'an City until we are sure that Guo Yuantao is really dead and will not harm the people in the city. ,what do you think?"

Hearing what Lu Ze said, Xue Hong couldn't help but look a little excited.

"Thank you brother Lu and all the brothers for being considerate of the people of Anyuan County."

Xue Hongdao: "This is a very good move. Brothers, please rest assured that everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation in Anyuan County will be covered by Xue."

His words immediately made everyone feel good about him.

A county magistrate who can drink three glasses of wine to all the people present undoubtedly let everyone see his boldness.

Now he promised to cover all the expenses of the people in Anyuan County. Even if it was just talking about the scene, it was enough to make people think that he was a reliable person.

After dinner, the servants took away the leftovers and served hot tea, Lin Canglan couldn't help but said, "Brother Xue, what's the current situation in the city?"

"Oh, the situation is very bad."

Xue Hong sighed softly: "Early this morning, someone came to the county government office to report a case. A 13-year-old girl disappeared while parading in the street last night. When she was found today, she was already a corpse with disheveled clothes on the street. In a remote alley on the street, the words Guo Yuantao were engraved on her face."

Everyone's expressions darkened when they heard the words, Guo Yuantao was so frenzied that he didn't even let a 13-year-old girl go? !
Lin Canglan frowned slightly, and said, "Is it possible that other Jianghu warriors committed this case, and then deliberately blamed it on Guo Yuantao, making the government mistakenly believe that this case was also committed by Guo Yuantao?"

"It's possible."

Xue Hong nodded, and said: "After all, Guo Yuantao will engrave the word Guo Yuantao on the opponent's face after committing a murder. Now many martial artists in the city know this, so it cannot be ruled out that someone blamed Guo Yuantao."

Speaking of this, Xue Hong frowned slightly and said: "But."

Lu Ze and Lin Canglan looked at each other, and asked in unison, "But what?"

"However, according to the autopsy conducted by Wu, it can be roughly presumed that Guo Yuantao did it."

Xue Hong frowned and said: "All the murder cases put down by Guo Yuantao and the women who were defiled have a remarkable characteristic, that is, the tendons of the hands and hamstrings of the deceased will be picked off by sharp weapons. Picked off."

"And this kind of thing, only Guo Yuantao would do it, because he has a very unique way of breaking the tendons of his arms and hamstrings. If other warriors in the world commit crimes and want to blame him, it is almost difficult to do."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts.

What Guo Yuantao did was undoubtedly to magnify the despair in front of the deceased.

Just imagine, the sinews of both hands and feet are picked off, and there is no difference between cutting off a woman's limbs.

"What is his purpose of picking off the woman's limbs and hamstrings?"

Lin Canglan showed a puzzled look on his face, and said: "He is a copper-skinned warrior, and he deals with a weak woman. Why would he cut off her limbs and tendons before using violence? He has many ways to control the woman's actions, right?"

"do not know."

Xue Hong shook his head and said: "However, according to my guess, he may want to magnify the fear in front of the deceased, make the deceased incapable of any action first, and then commit violence, and then enjoy the pleasure brought by this violence."

What a complete pervert.

Everyone was terrified, and they couldn't help but wonder.

Just think about how desperate a woman must have been at that time when her tendons in her arms and legs were cut off and then she was raped and defiled by violence.

Lin Canglan said: "Master Xue, is there any connection between the places where Guo Yuantao committed the crime?"

"No."

Xue Hong shook his head and said, "Guo Yuantao committed crimes in various areas of Anyuan County, as if he randomly selected the target to commit the crime."

"Then how did the six groups of people sent by Zhenwu Division to participate in this mission capture or kill Guo Yuantao?" Lin Canglan asked again.

Xue Hong replied: "I'm not too clear about this. I asked about it, but they didn't tell me the plan."

Hearing Xue Hong's words, everyone couldn't help falling into silence.

Since the first six groups were able to successfully capture or kill Guo Yuantao, they must all have used the same method tacitly.

And this method is unwilling to be known by Xue Hong, which means that most people in Zhenwu Division know this method, but in order to avoid being criticized, they will not mention it to outsiders.

Lu Ze and Lin Canglan looked at each other, and immediately understood the method used by the six groups in front.

fishing!

This is the most common and effective method used by Zhen Wusi.

Since Guo Yuantao's main method of committing crimes is to plunder the property of wealthy households and defile young girls.

Then if you want to catch him, you need to focus on these two aspects.

Send someone to follow the rich family's house that has not been looted, or follow the young girl. Once Guo Yuantao appears, immediately fire the signal flare, let the Zhenwuwei who is in other positions come, and then work together to capture him.

What surprised everyone was, is Guo Yuantao so fearless?
Being caught again and again, he can still be caught by Zhen Wusi in this way?

As the saying goes, if you eat Zhenwusi fishing for the first time, you will definitely not be fooled the same way the second time.

But this Guo Yuantao was unexpected, every time he was able to be succeeded by Zhen Wusi.
"Or, this guy thinks he can't die, so he dares to take the trap with confidence?"

Su Yu couldn't help thinking to himself.

Judging from the previous file records, Guo Yuantao will die in various ways in the end, and then his body will disappear for no reason. After Zhenwuwei returns to Beijing and returns to his life, he will commit another crime in the city.

Even if he is captured alive, he will try his best to die and then be reborn.
"It can be seen from this that he should have to let himself "die", and then he can let himself be reborn again in a specific place!"

"Then as long as it can't die, is this mission complete?"

Su Yu took a look at Lu Ze. Judging from his courage to take on this task, he must have visited some of the Zhenwu guards who participated in this task at the beginning, so he gained some confidence and even found some clues.

Lin Canglan said before that Lu Ze needs three days to prepare and give him three days to consider whether to participate in this mission.

It seems that Lu Ze is also making various preparations for capturing Guo Yuantao alive.

Just like now, Lu Ze never asked Xue Hong about the various details of his experience. It is estimated that he had already obtained a lot of information from the other six groups of people who participated in this mission in Zhenwu Division.

It can be seen from the previous file that if you want to complete this task, you must not kill Guo Yuantao or let him die, otherwise he will be reborn again.

Su Yu couldn't help being curious, what preparations did Lu Ze make?
"What method will he use to capture Guo Yuantao alive and prevent him from dying?" Su Yu thought to himself.
