It is recorded in the county annals of Baisha County.
In the third year of Yongchang, there were bandits in Niutou Village in Heishui Town. They looted everywhere and committed all kinds of evil. The villagers in the villages and towns were miserable. Xia Jiang, a direct disciple of Juling Sect, led dozens of disciples to suppress the bandits. Zhou Shan took the lead and killed dozens of bandits.
…
…
The next few days.
Zhou Shan followed Xia Jiang to several villages and towns, suppressing bandits everywhere.
These bandits have basically only learned a few moves of Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu. They can deal with ordinary people just fine, one person can fight four or five, but to deal with the official disciples of the Giant Spirit Sect, it would be a big deal for Guan Gong to show his face.
Each of the official disciples of the Giant Spirit Sect is a warrior who has entered the skin-grinding realm. Among these bandits, only some of the leaders have some real skills and are warriors in the skin-grinding realm.
However, it was natural for Zhou Shan to deal with the leaders of these bandits and use them to practice their skills.
Niutou Village, Blood Wolf Village, White Bone Village...
In seven days, Zhou Shan killed thirteen bandits in one breath.
In the process of fighting with the bandit leader, Zhou Shan became more and more skilled in the use of the Thirteen Tiger Forms. Hundreds of people died in his hands, but every bandit he killed was a person who deserved to be killed. , hands covered with blood.
There are only three days left before the Chinese New Year.
The bandit suppression team also ended the bandit suppression and returned to the county seat.
"The tax money and grain just collected by the government were transported to the county and the ship capsized!"
Zhou Shan and Xia Jiang completed the bandit suppression and when they returned to the county town, they heard the news being discussed in the streets and alleys.
Everyone has a sad look on their face.
Ships carrying tax money and grain to the front capsized and sank to the bottom of the river.
The tax money is sealed in boxes. If it sinks to the bottom of the river, warriors can be sent to dive into the water to salvage it again. Even if there is a loss, as long as most of the tax money is salvaged, the loss will not be big, but the food cannot.
This time the food was lost, but the court didn't care so much. It would only ask the county government to hand over the food again. In order to complete the tasks of the superiors, the county government would definitely requisition food.
"Everything is fine, how could the boat capsize?"
Zhou Shan and Xia Jiang looked at each other and felt that this was abnormal.
There must be something else hidden in it.
The two immediately returned to the Giant Spirit Gate and came to the study to meet their master Lin Yuanxiong.
"I'm back. You must have heard about the boat capsizing when you entered the city." Lin Yuanxiong said: "This is true. The boat really capsized, but there was some unintentional manipulation."
"Wusheng Cult, have they reached out to Donghai Mansion?"
Hearing this, both Zhou Shan and Xia Jiang frowned.
After being introduced by several senior brothers, Zhou Shan also had some understanding of the Wusheng Sect.
It was established by the remnants of the previous Zhou Dynasty. Its purpose was to rebel against the Zhou Dynasty. It has existed for more than 600 years. In the past ten years, it has been very active, creating chaos everywhere, inciting and inciting the people to rebel. To the extreme, it is direct and direct. Assassination of officials.
In addition, some relatively powerful bandits are supported by the Wusheng Cult. Even wealthy businessmen and landlords in some places have the shadow of the Wusheng Cult behind them. No one knows that the Wusheng Cult is hiding in the dark. How many secrets have been developed.
Wushengjiao knew that it was almost impossible to overthrow Dagan in peacetime.
Therefore, the purpose of the Wusheng Sect has always been simple, which is to bring chaos to the world.
Only when the world is in chaos, with people rising up everywhere, and wars raging, can they have a chance to overthrow Daqian.
But the Wusheng Cult has never set foot in Donghai Mansion before.
It cannot be said so absolutely. It should be said that the Wusheng Cult has not caused chaos before, and perhaps it has been secretly planning it.
"It has not been long since the ship capsized, and even as a teacher, I have only received the news not long ago, but this matter has already caused a storm in the city. Behind this, there must be rogue gangsters from the Wusheng Cult spreading the news everywhere in an attempt to create chaos. "Lin Yuanxiong said in a deep voice: "The county magistrate has ordered that the whole city is under martial law. The gates of the outer city and the inner city, the fishing dock, the commercial port, etc. are all blocked. No one is allowed in or out. The whole city is searching for Wu Sheng Cult thieves. You two, too. They each led a team of people to cooperate with the people from the yamen to conduct a city-wide investigation."
"yes!"
Zhou Shan and Xia Jiang took the task and left the study.
"I didn't expect that the Chinese New Year would come out like this." Xia Jiang said: "The Wusheng Cult appears in Baisha County. It is impossible that they will only do this one thing. They must mess up Baisha County, at least let Baisha... The county’s vitality must be severely damaged. I’m afraid I’ll have to deal with Wusheng Cult often in the future, so junior brother must be prepared.”
"The Wu Sheng Cult is in the dark, and we are in the light. We can only block it with soldiers, and the water will cover us."
Zhou Shan said in a deep voice.
"Before we found out the Wusheng Cult's lair, we were indeed a little passive." Xia Jiang said: "Let's go to the county office to get the household registration list first, and then conduct a citywide inventory to confirm that there are no Wusheng Cult thieves lurking in the city.
As long as the household registration is not from Baisha County, get it first and then talk about it. "
"clear!"
Zhou Shan nodded.
After going to the county government office to obtain the household registration list and assigning the investigation areas, Zhou Shan returned to Julingmen to summon thirty official disciples, and then began door-to-door inspections.
Although, he didn't think that he would be able to find the thieves of Wusheng Cult in this way.
If the Wu Sheng Cult had planned something in advance, they must have a legitimate identity, and it would not be easy to find out.
The disciples of the Juling Sect were responsible for the investigation, and Zhou Shan's mental power had scanned everyone on the street and found nothing unusual, but the investigation still had to continue.
Mental power is Zhou Shan's trump card. He will not expose it easily. Even his master Lin Yuanxiong doesn't know about it.
After all, spiritual martial arts are not available even in some sects with five-level masters, and he has such terrifying spiritual power without practicing spiritual martial arts. It is not enough to describe him as gifted.
Once exposed, all fools will only know that he contains a huge secret.
Human nature is the least able to withstand the test.
Never test human nature.
For his own safety, Zhou Shan would not tell anyone.
Moreover, in order to be sure, Zhou Shan also used hypnosis on the two people at Jude Gambling House to make them forget the secret book of "Soul Deterrence Technique" in their memories. The only ones he purchased were the Stone Crushing Fist and the Swimming Fish Movement Technique.
If Zhou Shan's mental power was used to search the entire city, he might be able to find the hidden Wusheng Cult thieves, but there were several places where he couldn't check without revealing that he had mastered the mental power.
First, there is the Giant Spirit Gate.
With Lin Yuanxiong's strength, Zhou Shan could detect anomalies with just his mental perception, let alone directly use his mental power to detect, as well as the county government, the Bai Family, the No. 1 family in Baisha County, Lei Ming Martial Arts School, etc.
These forces are all dominated by masters who have exchanged blood from four realms.
If there is no secret in any family, it is impossible for Zhou Shan to use his mental power to investigate.
All Zhou Shan can do is to do his job honestly.
If a Wusheng Cult thief is found in the area he is responsible for investigating, there is no need to say anything. He will definitely report it as soon as possible. Naturally, there are other people in charge of other areas, and he has no control over it.
