Those years when I fished in Zhenwu Division

Chapter 31 Clues
Wangjiagou is only five miles away from Tai'an Temple. They migrated and settled here in the early years. The main means of income is to grow various vegetables and sell them to Tai'an Temple to make a living.

When Lin Canglan came to Wangjiagou with three teams, most of the villagers in Wangjiagou were working in the vegetable fields, watering, fertilizing and weeding.

Wangjiagou is surrounded by a river about ten feet wide. The whole village is built on the hillside, and there is only one stone bridge that is the only way to enter Wangjiagou.

The arrival of Lin Canglan's group of ten riders immediately attracted the attention of the villagers working in the vegetable fields.

"Appeal."

Beside the stone bridge entering the village, Lin Canglan pulled the reins and forced the horse to stop.

"Old man, is this Wangjiagou?"

Lin Canglan looked at an old man who was fishing by the stone bridge, and asked loudly.

The old man was wearing a thin coir raincoat, his face was dark and full of gullies, and his figure was slender, like old bacon that had been smoked for many years.

Hearing Lin Canglan's question, the old man glanced at everyone and said, "This is Wangjiagou, who are you looking for?"

"Wangjiagou will do."

Lin Canglan continued to ask: "Which family is the head of this Wangjiagou village, do you know?"

"When you enter the village, the tallest house you see is the village chief's house," said the old man.

"Let's go."

Lin Canglan got the answer he wanted, and led three small teams across the stone bridge, heading towards Wangjiagou.

A group of ten riders stopped at the best-built house in Wangjiagou.

It is said that the house is the best built, but the house is built with bluestone bricks and the top is sealed with tiles.

As for the houses of other villagers, they are built with yellow mud and covered with thatch.

This is the status quo of ordinary people's lives, and their hard work is only for three meals a day.

Suddenly, a group of well-dressed people riding tall horses came to the village. Immediately, a group of playful children came over and secretly watched from a distance.

"My lord, what is this?"

A middle-aged man greeted him, and said flatteringly: "I am the village head of Wangjiagou, Wang Qing. I don't know if all the officials suddenly visited Wangjiagou, but what's the matter?"

"Just last night, a murderer absconded, and His Majesty ordered Zhen Wusi to arrest him with all his might!"

"And the location of Wangjiagou may be the place where the criminal escaped and hid."

Lin Canglan looked at Wang Qing, and said calmly, "Have any strangers come to Wangjiagou in the past few days?"

"Hurper?"

Wang Qing shook his head and said, "Returning to my lord, no outsiders have been found in Wangjiagou."

"There is no best!"

Lin Canglan said: "However, I still need to order people to conduct a thorough investigation from house to house. Immediately call all the people in the village and inform them of the news of the criminal's escape."

"This man's crime is extremely heinous. If he lurks in Wangjiagou, he only needs a cup of tea to kill Wangjiagou!"

Hearing Lin Canglan's words, Wang Qing's complexion changed, and he said in a trembling voice, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll call you over right away."

For ordinary people, they are content with the status quo and don't want to cause more trouble.

And Lin Canglan said that the absconded criminal may appear in Wangjiagou, which is undoubtedly a huge change for Wangjiagou.

In the rivers and lakes, from time to time, in order to seek profit, martial artists will sneak into rich merchants at night, slaughter their entire families, and then loot all their belongings.

Therefore, Wang Qing firmly believed in Lin Canglan's words.

Regardless of whether the murderer is in Wangjiagou or not, calling everyone over and searching the house from house to house will ensure nothing goes wrong.

With Wang Qing coming forward, a group of women, children, old and young people stood in front of the village head's house in just one stick of incense.

It is daytime now, and the young and middle-aged people in the village are all working outside, while the women and children are busy with some needlework at home.

"My lord, everyone in the village is here except those who work outside."

Wang Qing came up and said respectfully.

"Ah."

Lin Canglan nodded and looked at the three teams behind him.

"Jilongcheng, your team searches the east end of the village, Gong Kaiwen, your team searches the west end of the village, Ou Wenjie, your team searches the south end of the village, search from house to house, don't miss any corner!"

Lin Canglan ordered.

"Yes."

The nine people clasped their fists one after another, and then went to their respective assigned areas.

Su Yu followed behind Ji Longcheng, and the three of them came to the east of Wangjiagou and searched every house.

For such ordinary people, there is nothing valuable at home, and it is almost as soon as they enter the house, they can see everything in the house at a glance.

Every household built a firewood room to store a large amount of firewood.

For Jingzhou in the north, firewood is needed for heating in winter, otherwise the cold in winter can freeze people to death. Firewood is the best way for ordinary people to heat up.

Even when there is a shortage of food, many ordinary people will carry firewood and sell it on the street to earn food for their stomachs.

In the year of great famine, two villages would even fight over the right to cut firewood in the mountains...

There are about 30 households in the east of the village, and it took less than a stick of incense to search all of them.

"Cousin, tell me, where will Chu Xuan escape to?"

Coming out of a villager's house again, Chen Beijiang couldn't help asking.

"I don't know that."

Ji Longcheng shook his head and said, "As long as it doesn't appear in the Wangjiagou and Shilipu we searched, then thank God."

To be able to live well, he doesn't want to provoke this kind of person who owns the Heavenly Dao Jade.

During this period of time, there was a lot of turmoil in the world, but Chu Xuan was still able to live well, which shows how amazing his skills are.

Especially when it was rumored that he had been seriously injured every time in the world, but he could escape every time.

It is not certain whether a character like this is seriously injured.

If Zhenwuwei like them met Chu Xuan, they would definitely fall.

Maybe those guys in the rivers and lakes deliberately spread the news, misrepresenting that Chu Xuan was seriously injured, and then made others believe it, and went to search for Chu Xuan's whereabouts, and then gained the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Chen Beijiang rubbed his hands, and said involuntarily: "Cousin, Master Huo said before, as long as we find Chu Xuan's trace and then fire the signal flare, once Chu Xuan is arrested and brought to justice, we can get the fifth-level meritorious service and be promoted to a hundred households... ..."

"Snapped!"

Before Chen Beijiang could continue to fantasize, Ji Longcheng slapped him on the forehead to stop him from continuing to fantasize.

"Cousin, why are you hitting me?"

Chen Beijiang straightened his hair and looked at him with resentment.

Ji Longcheng glanced at him, and said calmly: "If you want to die, don't drag your cousin and I will bury you with you, your cousin hasn't lived enough yet."

"It's not a good thing for us to meet someone like Chu Xuan."

"Do you believe that you found out his whereabouts last second, and you were killed by him before you had time to take out the flare to notify others?"

"I really don't know what to say about you, but you still dare to dream of becoming a hundred households."

"You think you are a big shot like the third princess?"

"Looking at the entire Zhenwu Division, have you ever seen a person who has been promoted to a hundred households? Why do you think you can sit on it?"

"On this point, you have to learn from Brother Su, he will never dream!"

The corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched involuntarily when he came out of the woodshed after searching the woodshed, but he didn't say much.

Ji Longcheng is timid and afraid of death, and he can understand.

Which rich man is not afraid of death?

It's just because I have money that I don't want to lose my braids when I haven't spent all my money.

For the poor, the main reason why they are not afraid of death is because they are poor, and living is suffering anyway.

But if the poor enjoy rich clothes and fine food, his wealth will also be corrupted, and he will be greedy for life and afraid of death.

People are like this, when there is no one, they will not look forward and backward, and be timid.

But once you have it, you will become greedy for life and afraid of death, afraid of losing it.

"Then cousin, what if, I mean what if, what if this Chu Xuan appears in our search area and we find his trace, then what should we do?"

Chen Beijiang couldn't help but say.

"just in case?"

Ji Longcheng was startled when he heard the words, then shook his head and said, "Your assumption is not valid."

"In case this Chu Xuan appears in our search area and is found by us, then in order to prevent us from tipping off the news, he will definitely kill the three of us, and the other Zhenwuwei who came to search together, Try to get the other town guards to escape before they arrive."

"In front of a warrior who possesses the Heavenly Dao Jade and is at the Iron Bone Realm, the three of us hardly have any chance to resist."

"Of course, even if what you said happened to happen, let's turn a blind eye and pretend that we didn't find out. We just came out to make up the numbers, and there's no need to risk our own lives."

When Chen Beijiang heard the words, he nodded in agreement.

"Let's go, there are still two families. After the investigation, we can go to the business."

After Ji Longcheng finished speaking, he went straight to the next house.

"Ok?"

Just as Su Yu followed Ji Longcheng to the next house, a bamboo tree outside the firewood house caught Su Yu's attention.

Because of the sunlight, the bamboo leaves of the bamboo tree had a bright red luster.

"That is?"

Su Yu's pupils contracted violently, and a huge wave arose in his heart.

"That's blood!"
