Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 138
"Brother Zhang, does this matter?"

Wang Bochao looked directly at Li Qiu and asked.

Li Qiu nodded and said, "That's right, I did go there in the morning, but Brother Wang suspects that I have something to do with that murder case?"

Wang Bochao shook his head and said with a smile: "No, there are traces of Yin Qi erosion on the body of that family, obviously killed by Yin ghosts, how could I doubt you, Brother Zhang?"

"Yin Qi erosion?"

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly, thinking of the black air that came out of his hands that night when he touched the ghost, the flesh of his palms shrank and turned black.

"The black air should be Yin air."

But today when he killed the ghost, he didn't see any black air coming out of him.

"What does Brother Wang mean?..."

Li Qiu asked tentatively.

"I want to ask Brother Zhang if he has seen that Yin ghost? Do you know which direction that Yin ghost has gone?" Wang Bochao asked back.

Li Qiu pondered for a moment and said.

"Brother Wang is telling the truth, when I was walking through that long alley, I happened to bump into that Yin ghost coming out of that family's house."

"As soon as that ghost saw me, it rushed towards me like crazy. I fought several moves with that ghost and finally killed him."

"It's dead?

Well, save me a lot of work. "

Wang Bochao murmured, raised his head and cupped his fists and smiled at Li Qiu.

"For this matter, I must thank Brother Zhang for his righteous actions to eliminate the ghosts and restore the peace of the people of Shangjiang City."

Wang Bochao looked sincere.

There is no exaggeration in these words. If the ghosts are allowed to escape without a trace and come out from time to time to kill the people, it will cause panic in Shangjiang City sooner or later.

And as more lives are killed, more Yin Qi is absorbed, and the strength of the ghost will become stronger, and it will not be so easy to deal with him at that time.

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly, and he asked.

"Brother Wang, what happened to the ghost that killed my father last time?"

Hearing Li Qiu mention this question, Wang Bochao let out a look of worry on his tired face, and sighed dejectedly.

"After that day, I led the policemen to search for the whereabouts of the ghost in a radius of a hundred miles around Shangjiang City, but they found nothing."

"A few days ago, that ghost appeared and slaughtered another village!"

Wang Bochao suddenly announced a shocking news.

"Having killed hundreds of people one after another, I suspect that the Yin ghost should have recovered its strength. If I don't hurry up to find that Yin ghost, I may soon be no match for him."

Wang Bochao speculated.

"It's just that the ghost is insidious and cunning hiding in the dark, and I can't do anything to find him."

"Originally, there was news from the Yamen today that a massacre happened in the city. I thought it was the Yin ghost who entered Shangjiang City, and hurried back to Shangjiang City with the arresters. After the on-site investigation, I found that it was not the Yin ghost. for."

"correct!……"

While talking, Wang Bochao seemed to suddenly think of something.

"I came to look for Brother Zhang today because of a small matter and a major matter. Although the matter of searching for the ghost who caused the Miemen massacre is not small, compared with the other matter, it is a bit insignificant."

A hint of doubt flashed in Li Qiu's eyes.

"Brother Wang, please tell me."

"Brother Zhang knows that there is a group of bandits outside Shangjiang City. They gather in Feiyun Village on Feiyun Mountain in the north. They usually plunder passing caravans, oppress and exploit the villagers in the villages near Shangjiang City, and do everything they can."

Li Qiu nodded, of course he knew.

Which of the villages near Shangjiang City did not have the notoriety of Feiyunzhai.

Feiyunzhai ordered the villages near Shangjiang City to pay them a certain amount of grain and gold and silver every year. If they didn't do so, half of the people in the village would be killed. If they didn't do so next time, the whole village would be slaughtered.

The Yin ghost slaughtered two villages in a hurry to recover from its injuries. Compared with the evil deeds committed by Feiyunzhai, it can only be said to be nothing.

In the hearts of the people in Shangjiang City, Feiyunzhai is just a group of robbers, but in the hearts of people in the villages and towns near Shangjiang City, it is a group of murderous demons without batting an eyelid.

Because Zhangjia Village is very close to Shangjiang City, it was not "visited" by Feiyun Village, but Li Qiu still heard of Feiyun Village's notoriety.

Seeing Li Qiu nodded, Wang Bochao continued.

"Feiyunzhai has always been a serious concern for the city lord and the captain, but the master of Feiyunzhai is powerful, and the captain can't do anything to him. Every time he attacks Feiyunzhai, he returns in vain."

"The day before yesterday, we received news that the owner of Feiyun Village seemed to have been seriously injured in a battle with an unknown powerful warrior."

"It's just that we can't be sure whether the news is true or not, and we can't rush to send troops."

"If the news is true, this is naturally a great opportunity to eradicate Feiyun Village.

"But I'm afraid that the news is false. Everything is a trap set by the master of Feiyun Village. He wanted to lure us to send troops to ambush us secretly. We rashly sent troops in the opponent's arms."

"Or maybe it's just a rumor. We don't want to send troops out of the city to attack Feiyunzhai because of a baseless rumor, and ruin the lives of so many soldiers in vain."

"So we want to confirm the authenticity of this news before deciding whether to send troops."

Li Qiu was a little puzzled, why the matter of confirming the truth of the news came to him.

Looking at the doubts on Li Qiu's face, Wang Bochao explained.

"A few days ago, the most beloved youngest son of Xu Chang, one of the most wealthy businessmen in Shangjiang City, went to visit relatives in other places, and was robbed by Feiyunzhai on the way back up the mountain."

"Feiyunzhai sent people to Xu's house and told him that he wanted 30 taels of silver, and that he would hand over the money to the person. Otherwise, he would tear up the ticket and kill Xu Chang's youngest son, and throw the body into the wild to feed the wolves."

"The man also said that he would find someone who has never practiced martial arts to go up the mountain to pay the ransom, otherwise he would tear up the ticket."

Wang Bochao paused at this point, with a smile on his face.

"Brother Zhang, even though he was accepted as an introductory disciple by Master Chen, it's only been a few days, so it can't be said that he has practiced martial arts."

"So Lord Duwei asked me to come to you, Brother Zhang. I hope you can help the Xu family send the ransom to Feiyun Mountain. In addition, you will also do us a favor by finding out the truth about Yan Zhenbei, the owner of Feiyun Village. Is he really seriously injured as the news said?"

Li Qiu frowned slightly, quietly waiting for Wang Bochao's next words.

He knew that Wang Bochao must have something to say.

Because of such a dangerous matter, Wang Bochao also knew that the friendship between them was only met once, and it was impossible to impress him with such a shallow friendship and let him do this.

As for Guan Hao's order and Yamen threatening him to do this, that's even more impossible.

Although he was young and weak in strength, Chen Mao made an exception and accepted him as an entry-level fourth disciple, and he could not be manipulated by others.

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.

Guan Hao and Wang Bochao wanted him to do this, but the only way to impress him was to promise a lot of money...
