Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 123 The mountain has long been in chaos
An inconspicuous tavern in Sandao City.

Yang Qian was dressed in a coarse cloth shirt and a straw hat, looking like a traveling merchant. He sat in a corner of the tavern.

It was early in the morning, and there were no other customers in the tavern except the owner and a waiter.

After a while, two people dressed like merchants walked in and sat next to Yang Qian.

"Master Yang."

"Ah."

"This is Yuan Liang, the food manager on Mount Paektu."

One of the people who came was Li Mazi, and the other was a slightly fat middle-aged man with a smiling face. Speaking of Paektu Mountain, this man was actually more like the owner of a shop on the street, with a shrewd look in his eyes, but not as fierce as a thief.

"My humble servant Yuan Liang greets Master Yang."

Because they were outside, the three of them just greeted each other without any unnecessary courtesy.

"Why am I looking for you? You should know everything, right?"

"Yes, little one understands."

"Tell me, what's the situation at Mount Paektu now?"

Yuan Liang flattered, "Master Yang, I dare to ask Master Yang for a favor before we talk about the matter."

Li Mazi, who was standing next to him, glared and was about to speak, but Yang Qian waved his hand to stop him, saying, "Okay, if you have any conditions, just tell me directly. My credibility is still reliable, and I won't say one thing to your face and another behind your back.

But I'll be frank with you. If you try to be clever with me and try to fool me, I'll make sure you die miserably."

"I understand, I understand!" Yuan Liang's back was already wet. He didn't hesitate at all when he heard what Yang Qian said, and continued: "I just want to find a way to make a living for my family. I can't stay in the mountains anymore, I want to come to the city. I can't live a good life, but can you ask Master Yang to help my wife and children get citizenship?"

Yang Qian was not surprised to hear this, and nodded, "You are a thief, it is impossible for you to become a citizen. But your wife and children are fine, I will help you with it."

"Thank you, Master Yang! Thank you, Master Yang, for your kindness!" Yuan Liang's eyes were red. If there was no other way, who would be willing to stay in a remote mountain with a reputation as a thief and live in fear of losing their lives?
The market in the mountains was OK before, but it has become unbearable recently. When Yuan Liang heard that Masheng Lane was looking for an informant, he immediately expressed his willingness. If he tried hard, he might still have a chance to survive. If not, he would just wait to die in the mountains.

Besides, this Mr. Yang has a good reputation. He was able to help a lowly person like Li Mazi become a big boss, which is really convincing.

After a pause, Yuan Liang started to talk about business.

“Master Yang, ever since the head of the mountain was killed by the evil spirit from Black Mountain, Baitou Mountain has been in complete chaos.

With the support of the big demon, the demons that used to have a close relationship with us are now becoming more and more rampant. They dare not go down the mountain, so they instigate our people to go down the mountain. We are unwilling, and friction has gradually occurred.

Especially recently, brothers have been disappearing inexplicably in the mountains from time to time. Some say they ran away, while others say they were eaten by evil spirits. Anyway, people are in a panic.

I have even heard the evil spirits say more than once that if the village could no longer be maintained, they would eat us all up and then scatter like birds and beasts.

Now many people are considering their options.”

Yang Qian frowned slightly when he heard this and asked, "Is the great demon from Black Mountain still in Whitehead Mountain?"

"Yes, Master Yang, but I heard that he is leaving."

"How did you hear that?" "It was the Master Xu from the Five Thunder Palace who gave the deadline, saying that he had to return to the Monster Mountain within ten days, otherwise it would be considered a violation of the rules of the Immortal Alliance. According to the people who were present at the time, the big monster was so scared that his hair stood on end, but he didn't dare to say a word.

If we calculate the time, we should leave today or tomorrow.

But even if the big demon left, Baitou Mountain was now no different from a demon mountain. There were demons everywhere, and there were many demon cultivators from Black Mountain. With those demon cultivators as the main force, the demons and insects all obeyed the orders and pushed all the people in the mountain to the corners.

I think it won’t be long before the people in the mountains won’t be able to leave even if they want to.”

After saying this, Yang Qian could feel that the bandit in front of him was really anxious.

After thinking for a while, Yang Qian said, "I need a detailed map of Mount Paektu now, and also a distribution map of where the bandits and evil spirits live, as well as the places where these bandits and evil spirits usually go after they disperse.

The more detailed the information you give me, the faster I can help you. And I'm not afraid of you knowing that you are not the only informant I have found now. I can compare the authenticity of your information, who is fast and who is slow, whose information is more accurate, and who is perfunctory. I can know everything.

Yuan Liang, not everyone has a chance to survive after making a mistake. Although you don't have any murder cases, once a gangster, always a gangster, killing your whole family is only natural.

The opportunity is in your hands, don’t let it fall to the ground.”

Yuan Liang quickly stood up, bowed to Yang Qian, then turned and left.

How could this be? If other informants got the upper hand, how could Yuan Liang help his family find a way out? He didn't dare to delay at all, so he prepared to go back to the mountains to settle everything as soon as possible, and then run to Sandao City for refuge.

As soon as Yuan Liang left, Li Mazi came over.

"Master Yang, I have contacted three more people. Do you want to meet them all at once today or choose another time?"

"No need to choose, just today. Let's see if what Yuan Liang just said is reliable."

Then three more people were led in by Li Mazi. Each person stayed for a short time, less than half an incense stick of time.

When Yang Qian returned to the police station at noon, he had basically determined the details of Mount Paektu and its surroundings.

One word: chaos!

This was a good thing for Yang Qian. It would be easier to deal with the chaos. He would then formulate a strategy and then officially start his work. The time limit for eliminating bandits and demons was only one and a half years. Things could not wait.

First, Wang Shigui and others were asked to offer suggestions, but all they got were ideas like "attack the periphery first and then the mountain".

Or maybe we can just wait for a few months and guard the area around Sandao City, letting the bandits and evil spirits in Mount Paektu kill each other, and then we can go up the mountain to clean up the mess.

Yang Qian ignored the first idea. Although the second one seemed reasonable, Yang Qian still didn't have the patience, and this method seemed a bit "too wasteful" to him.

So many evil spirits and bandits are all experiences!

Let them kill each other? What kind of family? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for such waste?

So Yang Qian came up with a new idea: why not just kill them all from within?
As for how to kill the enemy, Yang Qian quickly came up with a rough idea after looking at the terrain of Mount Paektu.

So Yang Qian spent two days writing a strategy and submitted it to Wang Hai.

After Wang Hai finished reading the strategy, he glared and said, "Yang Qian, are you crazy?!"
