Xu Taiping walked around and understood.
This village is definitely related to Qiyun Village.
Maybe it's not just this one village, but many villages around Shuangyan Mountain.
Maybe an honest villager on the roadside is a spy from Qiyun Village.
The villagers going into the mountains to hunt is just a pretense. In fact, they are bartering to provide Qiyun Village with salt and other necessary supplies in exchange for some game meat.
Baozheng distributes benefits to the villagers, which is a more direct bundle of interests.
To put it more bluntly.
These villages located around Shuangyan Mountain are the outposts and trading points of Qiyun Village, and are potential dens of thieves.
But Xu Taiping had no worries in his heart.
These villagers just want a stable existence.
The government doesn't care about them.
What to do if you don’t take refuge in Qiyun Village?
If you don't take refuge in Qiyun Village, relying on the mountains and living there is just an empty talk. Food and clothing are problems, and you have to face the threat of Qiyun Village just around the corner.
certainly.
The government must also know this, and there is a high probability that they will place spies in the village to monitor Qiyun Village.
Both the officials and the bandits are tacitly understanding each other.
so.
Xu Taiping had no intention of reporting or even arresting these villagers.
I just want to go through the process and show my face in front of the government spies, saying that I have been here and done the investigation.
Then, you can go back and hand in the mission, join the police squad, and start your career in solving crimes in the county.
Um.
There are twelve or thirteen villages in Shuangyan Mountain near Yingyin City.
There are six key positions.
Choose three or four of these six and then go back to the city.
Xu Taiping followed the plan and wandered around Guanglan Village for half an hour. He deliberately asked someone for directions and then went straight to Xinfeng Village next door.
The process is still the same in Xinfeng Village.
The curious uncle caught the villagers asking questions.
When we arrived at the third village, Nanqiao Village, we vaguely noticed someone quietly following behind us.
I couldn't help but smile to myself.
Are they from Qiyun Village?
Can't bear it anymore?
Just right.
Grabbing a few tongues and taking them back can better prove that I have truly investigated Qiyun Village.
Thinking like this, he suddenly accelerated and rushed into the dense forest on the roadside, jumped up on a big tree, hid among the dense branches and leaves, and waited quietly for the people from Qiyun Village to catch up.
really.
Two strong men dressed as farmers rushed into the dense forest and searched for a moment like headless flies. They panicked and said, "I lost track of them. What should I do?"
"What can you do? Tell me truthfully."
"Hu Guanying is in a bad mood. He has disabled several spies. We have lost track of our target. If we go back like this, I'm afraid..."
"Then what should we do?" One of the strong men said bitterly: "We can't defect to Qiyun Village."
"Actually, it's not impossible..."
"you……"
The two strong men almost quarreled.
Xu Taiping narrowed his eyes.
Hu Guanying?
Hu Jinbiao’s people?
The man surnamed Hu has even lost his trump card, why don’t you give up?
wrong!
Supposedly, only Tan Zhiqiang and I knew that I came to Shuangyan Mountain to perform a mission.
How did Hu Jinbiao know?
Tan Zhiqiang?
Or...Xia Xueyi?
Mudd!
No need to think, it must be Xia Xueyi!
Without Xia Xueyi's nod, how could Tan Zhiqiang and Hu Jinbiao dare to continue to provoke me with Mu Yuexin as my amulet?
Xia Xueyi from the desert!
You really dare to do it.
OK.
That works.
Don't step on the horse and let me find the opportunity.
If there is a chance, I will definitely send you and Zhou Yucheng as companions in a clean and tidy manner to fulfill your friendship of the same family.
Xu Taiping felt secretly resentful.
Jump down.
He was shooting his bow left and right in mid-air.
"Papa -"
Two slaps.
One per person.
Just slap the two strong men down.
Landed.
He grabbed the two men's long hair and dragged them to the trap dug by the hunter. He pressed their heads into the trap so that they could see the sharp spikes in the trap.
Then.
Step on the chest of one of the strong men.
Possessed, he laughed ferociously: "Now, I ask, you answer."
Without waiting for the strong man to speak, he asked directly: "Where is Hu Jinbiao?"
The strong man gritted his teeth and refused to answer.
Xu Taiping grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth: "Very good!"
Stand up, lift your legs and kick hard.
"boom--"
Kicked the strong man hard in the ribs.
"ah--
"I said--
"Ahh——"
The strong man screamed and flew towards the trap involuntarily.
He was in mid-air and hurriedly begged for mercy.
But he still fell heavily into the trap.
"puff--"
Seven or eight sharp iron thorns pierced the strong man's body at the same time.
The blood gurgled and quickly wetted the soil at the bottom of the trap.
The strong man screamed a few times and then slowly became silent.
Xu Taiping turned around with a ferocious smile.
The remaining strong men did not wait for Xu Taiping to speak, and immediately shouted: "Hu Jinbiao is in Changxi Village, at Liu Hu's house in Baozheng."
"How many people did Hu Jinbiao bring?"
"Twelve, they are the strongest monks in the prison camp, and..."
"what else?"
"There are also people from Qiyun Village."
"Qiyun Village?"
"right."
"Has Hu Jinbiao interacted with people from Qiyun Village?"
The strong man whispered: "The officials are basically familiar with Qiyun Village."
"Um?"
"The government could not suppress Qiyun Village, and Qiyun Village was unwilling to fight head-on with the government. Therefore, Qiyun Village took the initiative to show weakness and actively made friends with officials from top to bottom of the government..."
When Xu Taiping heard this, he laughed out loud.
Fantasy version of "Let the Bullets Fly".
It's so magical.
Apply for World Heritage!
Must apply for World Heritage!
Suppress bandits?
Suppress this big black bandit!
Grass!
Xu Taiping took several deep breaths before suppressing his boiling anger.
Looking at the panicked strong man: "Are you from Hu Jinbiao?"
"No, no, no, the villain is a workman of the Judge's Yamen."
"Then why did you listen to Hu Jinbiao's orders?"
"Hu Jinbiao is in charge of the camp. He gives orders. How dare a villain refuse?"
"In other words, just an officer can command you?"
"yes……"
Xu Taiping stood up straight and raised his fingers: "Get up."
"Thank you, Mr. Xu."
"Take me to Liu Hu's house in Changxi Village."
"this……"
"have opinions?"
"No, no, it's just that if Hu Jinbiao gets angry with me, I still hope Master Xu can rescue me. I still have a family to support."
Xu Taiping patted the strong man on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm not a murderous person. If you obey, I will not only protect you, but also give you benefits."
"Thank you Mr. Xu!"
"Walk."
Changxi Village.
Bao Zheng Liu Hu's family.
On the 16th and 7th, people of all kinds were scattered in the courtyard, vaguely divided into two groups.
The one with more people is the prisoner brought by Hu Jinbiao.
The one with fewer people comes from Qiyun Village.
inside the room.
Hu Jinbiao and Tang Huanyun, the leader of the third village of Qiyun Village, sat opposite each other, drinking and chatting happily.
Tang Huanyun is in his early twenties.
All in white.
Elegant temperament.
He looks like a good young man in troubled times.
After clinking glasses with Hu Jinbiao, he took a sip and asked calmly: "Hu Guanying, are you sure that Xu Taiping is really alone?"
Hu Jinbiao patted his chest: "Brother, I'm 10,000 sure!"
"Then Mu Yuexin really didn't come with you?"
Hu Jinbiao sneered: "Tan Zhiqiang has been staring at the inn. Mu Yuexin, Hua Yanzi and his three followers are all there."
"That's good," Tang Huanyun breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as Mu Yuexin doesn't take action, Xu Taiping will definitely die!"
Hu Jinbiao raised his glass again: "Please Mr. Tang, you must do your best!"
"In the martial arts realm, even if you hide your strength or have treasures to defend yourself, as long as you are targeted by Tang, you will not be able to escape death, not to mention there are so many helpers outside," Tang Huanyun raised his head proudly: "When will he arrive?"
"Soon."
"how did you do that?"
"It's just a trick. Send two dead men to follow him, and then deliberately let him find out. The two dead men will tell him that I am here. Based on his past behavior, he will definitely come. Let's just sit back and wait for him to fall into the trap."
