Shanfeng Mountain is rich in gold mines.
However, there is no place suitable for growing crops on the mountain.
Therefore, it is quite normal if the gold bandits transport gold sand from the mountains to the mountains and grain from the mountains to the mountains.
But now, Zhang Yucheng and the others rarely intercept the gold sand they transport from the mountain, but they intercept the grain transported from the mountain to the bottom. This is indeed a strange thing.
"Is your captain here?" Duan Wenjun frowned and took over the topic.
"Call him over. We want to ask him carefully and see what happened at that time." Lou Loulou also spoke.
Zhang Yucheng frowned and looked at Chai Jingyun doubtfully.
"Colonel Zhang, Master Duan and Colonel Lou are all people I invited from the southern frontier army. Now I am responsible for the banditry problem in Lingxiao County, relying on them." Chai Jingyun seemed to see Zhang Yucheng's doubts, Then he continued, "You must already know about my recruitment to Moon Island! It was Young Master Duan and Lieutenant Lou who assisted me in handling it."
"Please forgive me for not being able to recognize these two great talents." Zhang Yucheng was shocked when he heard this. He apologized first, and then continued, "According to the instructions of the Second Young Master, Shan Fengshan Camp has been assembled. The captain is now Right in the camp.”
After speaking, Zhang Yucheng ordered the soldiers at the door to call the captain into the camp.
The captain is a man with a thick beard named Wang Haiqing.
He is a native of Lingxiao City.
Hearing everyone's inquiries, he nodded slightly, and then talked about what happened that day.
There are only three roads going up and down Shanfeng Mountain. Each of their three captains led a team and controlled one mountain road.
The members of the fourth team are stationed in the camp with Captain Zhang Yucheng to support the other three teams at any time.
As usual, their three captains are responsible for their respective defense areas, including patrols, arrests, information gathering, etc. Once there is any action, the entire Shan Fengshan Battalion will cooperate.
Because the gold bandits on Shanfeng Mountain were very cunning, Zhang Yucheng gave them great freedom in order to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the information.
If there is a crime or emergency situation, the three captains have the right to make decisions alone.
However, at the end of each month, the three captains need to go back to the camp to report.
It is said to be a report, but in fact it is just for everyone to exchange information and analyze the possible movements of the gold bandits together.
Just at the end of last month, Wang Haiqing came to the base camp with a few soldiers as usual.
Because the journey was long, they had to set off before dawn.
But unexpectedly, not long after they went out that day, they encountered a heavy downpour.
In order to rush back to the camp without delay, he and his soldiers continued to move forward in the rain.
The roads leading from their camp were all small, and there were many forks in the road. When they were on the road, they accidentally took the wrong intersection.
It wasn't until daybreak that they discovered that they had lost their way and had no idea where they were.
Fortunately, God was kind. Just when they were looking for a way out, the rain stopped.
Moreover, they encountered a convoy.
There were only about ten people in the convoy, who looked like nearby villagers, pushing several cars forward.
Wang Haiqing hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the way back to the camp. Only then did he realize that they had deviated far from the route and were still several hours away from reaching the camp.
Wang Haiqing was anxious and wanted to rush back as soon as possible, so he didn't think too much and led the people to gallop on horseback.
However, riding horses on mountain roads is already difficult, and it has just rained, making the roads even more difficult.
A horse walking behind suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, and the person on the horse was knocked off.
Moreover, the injury was serious.
They remembered that there was a Taoist temple in the direction they had just come from, and they thought about sending their injured brother there to recuperate.
However, what they didn't expect was that when they returned along the original road, they met the same group of villagers who showed them the way.
However, this time, these villagers ran away when they saw them.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and Wang Haiqing immediately felt that something was fishy.
They are all well-trained soldiers, and they are riding horses at this moment. How can those people be able to outrun them?
Within a few breaths, they overtook the group of people. Seeing that they could not escape, they actually drew out the weapons they carried and charged at them.
However, those people were just a group of rabble, and they were all subdued after a few strikes and five divided by two.
They also confessed that they were Shan Fengshan's gangsters and were responsible for escorting grain and grass down the mountain.
Wang Haiqing originally wanted to escort the gangsters to the base camp along with the food and grass, but he did not expect that just as they were transporting the wounded to the Taoist temple, these people suddenly and violently resisted.
Moreover, he worked harder than before.
Wang Haiqing and the others had no choice but to take out their weapons and fight with them.
In the end, they killed all the bandits and simply left the food, grass and wounded in the Taoist temple before rushing back to the camp.
It was also because of this incident that Zhang Yucheng was exempted from the responsibility for their failure to arrive on time. The merits and demerits were balanced, and there was no punishment or reward.
When Wang Haiqing said this, Zhang Yucheng took over the topic, "Second Young Master, several generals, do you think it's strange? Why do they want to transport snacks down the mountain?"
Duan Wenjun did not answer Zhang Yucheng. Instead, he stared at Wang Haiqing and said, "Captain Wang, what do you think of this matter?"
Wang Haiqing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then continued, "Our boss also discussed it with us before. I personally feel that the activities of gold bandits in the mountains have not been very active in the past few months, so could it be that they are from the mountains?" The situation is not optimistic, are they preparing to move?"
"How do you say this?" Duan Wenjun frowned and asked.
"Captain Wang told me about this. He thinks that we have tightened the blockade in the mountains recently and there are not enough supplies in the mountains. He has already started to try to move." Zhang Yucheng frowned. "Maybe they have found another place. , prepare to build a new mountain stronghold."
"What do you think about Captain Zhang?" Duan Wenjun turned to look at him.
"Captain Wang's idea is not impossible." Zhang Yucheng's brows furrowed. "But I think that Mr. Ma has been operating in Shanfengshan for so many years. It is impossible that he does not have some background, and it is impossible for him to suddenly abandon the village and run away. "
"So, I think it is more likely that they may have one or more gold transport routes that we don't know about. We haven't been able to intercept gold sand in the past few months. It's not that they didn't send it down the mountain or sell it, but It’s just that we don’t know.”
"Now that Captain Wang has discovered their secret route for transporting food, since they can transport food, they can naturally transport gold. This is also a route that we have not discovered before."
"It's just a pity that the gangsters wanted to escape that day, but Captain Wang was not able to leave them alive. We can't get any more information from the interrogation."
"In recent times, I have been sending people to keep an eye on that route, but still found nothing. I'm afraid the golden bandits discovered something was wrong and stopped using it."
After listening to Zhang Yucheng's eloquent analysis, Duan Wenjun couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on his face.
Chai Jingyun glanced at him and originally wanted to say something, but she moved her lips a few times and finally didn't say anything.
Obviously, Zhang Yucheng is not a mediocre person, and he has indeed done some research on the golden bandits on Shanfeng Mountain.
After Wang Haiqing finished speaking, he went down. Duan Wenjun looked at Zhang Yucheng and spoke again, "Captain Zhang, I would like to know how Captain Wang is like in his daily life?"
Zhang Yucheng's face was full of approval. "This Wang Haiqing is an old brother who has been with me for many years. He also came from the southern frontier army. He is very loyal to the brothers in his team. His salary is not high in the first place, but he often helps the team members." poor brothers..."
Hearing his words, Duan Wenjun couldn't help but frown.
Since Wang Haiqing is a good person, I hope that what I guess is not true...
