Nightmare Attack

Chapter 1375 Bandit
Hearing the word Chunshen Lake, the boss's face became even more ugly, and he begged for mercy with a bitter face: "My lord, I... I am just a small businessman, and what I know is just gossip. "

"You don't want to tell me?"

"No, no, I really don't know." The boss waved his hands quickly, he only thought about how to send this plague god away as soon as possible, and the people of Zhennanhou's mansion didn't dare to provoke him.

The boss carefully looked at the young man in front of him, and made up his mind that when he was sent away, he would close the shop immediately and hide back home to avoid the limelight.

"Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't make it difficult for you." Jiang Cheng picked up the pen under the grateful eyes of the boss, wrote some words on the white paper on one side, and then handed the pen to the boss.

The boss blinked, "My lord, this is..."

"Sign a painting, and I've done my job." Jiang Cheng gave the boss a reassuring look.

The boss approached as much as possible, and when he saw the words on the white paper, he was stunned and almost cried. It was written in black and white: It has been found out that Qian Ji Gubaozhai is a gangster. General Guo never forgot, after interrogation, Qian Treasurer confessed to the matter.

His legs were shaking like a sieve, and at last Shopkeeper Qian knelt down on the ground with a plop, "My lord, people in the Hou Mansion can't talk foolishly, I'm a good person!"

"What? People in the Hou's Mansion are all fools, and you have killed people?!" Jiang Cheng was shocked, and then he picked up the pen and continued to write on the paper, saying while writing: "The shopkeeper Qian said that the people in the Hou's They are all fools, he even killed people, and the corpses were thrown in Chunshen Lake... I have to write these down, I can rely on them to get promoted and get rich."

"My lord, my lord, don't forget, I said, can I tell you everything I know?" Shopkeeper Qian stretched out two chubby hands, grabbed Jiang Cheng's pen, and begged bitterly.

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng let go of the pen in a considerate manner, and patted Shopkeeper Qian's hand, "It's good that you were like this earlier, it will save you and me bother, look at what's going on now, it hurts my feelings."

As early as Shopkeeper Qian recognized the piece of armor, Jiangcheng knew he was looking for the right person. The owner of an ordinary antique shop would not know such details, as well as the patterns on the armor, and General Guo's personal soldiers. things.

Shopkeeper Qian stood obediently in front of Jiang Cheng like a prisoner, and told him everything he knew.

According to Shopkeeper Qian, the people in the Hou Mansion seem to have been paying special attention to Chunshen Lake. From the past few years, there have been fishermen who have disappeared mysteriously and reported to the officials. In the end, nothing happened. It was rumored in private that he offended the Water Dragon King at the bottom of the lake, and that's why he suffered this catastrophe.

"But... But then, late one night, an old fisherman who had been missing for almost a month suddenly ran home. This frightened the family, who thought it was a water ghost possessing a human body and came to find a substitute, but Taking a closer look, this person's body is not dripping with water, and although his complexion is bad, his eyes are still clear, but there are signs of being tied up and beaten on his body..."

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Qian seemed to realize something, and suddenly shut up, and then looked at Jiang Cheng with a belatedly panicked face.

Jiang Cheng gave Shopkeeper Qian a look that you understand and I understand, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said indifferently: "It's not some water dragon king, but was captured by the people of the Hou Mansion, right?"

Shopkeeper Qian's pupils shrank suddenly, his legs felt weak, and he was about to kneel on the ground and kowtow. He was so confused that he accidentally said such a thing. Can you say this?

Is there still a way to survive?

But Jiang Cheng waved his hand indifferently, "You are not the only one who knows about this, many people in the city know about it, as long as you don't spread the word, our Marquis Mansion won't trouble you, but I want to be honest, you should understand."

Shopkeeper Qian wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his hand, and nodded vigorously with his big head, "Understood, my lord, I understand everything, and I promise to tell you everything."

"go on."

"Yes, my lord." Shopkeeper Qian brewed his emotions for a while, and then lowered his voice: "The old fisherman trembled after returning home, and told what happened to him. The location was captured by a group of people who were dressed like ordinary people, then blindfolded him, took him around for a long distance, and finally came to a cottage halfway up the mountain, and locked him up into a cave."

"There are a lot of people in the cave, and it's dark. When he looked at it, he was surprised to find that he knew many of these people. They were all fishermen nearby. It turned out that the so-called missing people were all arrested here."

"There are people guarding outside, and they dare not speak loudly. They can only lower their heads and communicate in a low voice. These people are basically similar to me. They were all arrested. It seems that they encountered bandits."

"But he can't figure out what the bandits are doing to catch them. How can these fishermen have extra money to redeem themselves? These men are the pillars of the family. Could it be... Could it be that they were recruited?"

"But at this time, a short and stout man with a limp in his legs told them in a hoarse voice that these people outside are definitely not bandits, but officers and soldiers, and they are the officers and soldiers of Luo'an City."

"The short and stout man said that he had cooked in the barracks before and was familiar with the habits of these soldiers. He had noticed that these people outside got up on time at five o'clock, buried pots for cooking, and rested at noon with the sound of clappers. It changes every hour, and in the third watch at night, the descendants are exhausted, so change it to every half hour."

"The fact that the peace has lasted for a long time, and the ability to maintain such strict military discipline shows that this group of people are not only officers and soldiers, but also elite troops. Our elite troops in Luo'an City..."

Shopkeeper Qian didn't dare to say anything more when he said this, and kept testing Jiang Cheng's attitude from the corner of his eye. Jiang Cheng nodded thoughtfully, "Then only the Hou Fu is qualified to transfer."

"These elite officers and soldiers didn't wear official uniforms. They obviously didn't want to expose their identities. Moreover, they made such a big show in the mountains. The old fishermen knew that there was something wrong with their feet, and it was a big deal." Shopkeeper Qian continued.

"At this time, someone came over and told him quietly that they were not the first group of people to be arrested. There was another group of people who were also fishermen before, but they were taken out blindfolded some time ago, and they never appeared again. return."

"Every once in a while, someone will be blindfolded and taken out. After a while, new people will be added one after another. Everyone is used to it."

"In the next few days, the old fisherman couldn't eat well or sleep, and whenever he dreamed at night, he would be taken out. He had a strange premonition, as if being taken out was more terrifying than death. "
