Chapter 10 The first fish to slip into the net
"Strange, why hasn't the Black Wind Village mission been completed?"

Lu Ping frowned, and his consciousness fell on the system panel in his mind. The words [Main Mission: Resolve the Bandits in Black Wind Village] were still clearly hanging there...

……

This first-class inn, which had not closed for a long time, finally closed today, and the whole inn was silent.

Four o'clock in the morning, in the backyard of the inn.

Under the moonlight that should have been silent until dawn, a figure suddenly appeared.

The mysterious man held something in both hands and walked lightly. He deliberately avoided the innkeeper's bedroom and moved quietly in the night. He carried a bag on his shoulders, as if he was going on a long journey.

I came to the courtyard and threw my hands upwards, and saw a carrier pigeon flapping its wings and leaping into the sky. The slight 'crackling' sound of the pigeon's wings was particularly loud in the quiet courtyard.

However, because the innkeepers were frightened by the bandit incident and went to bed early, they could not hear it.

The carrier pigeon flew higher and higher. Seeing this, the mysterious man smiled slightly, turned around and walked out of the inn.

Suddenly, an untimely erhu sound rang out!
The music of the two strings transformed into internal energy and shot straight into the sky, shooting down the pigeon that had not yet flown far away, and it landed in the courtyard with a plop.

"Who?!" The mysterious man exclaimed in surprise and looked up.

On the roof of the inn, a blind old man was sitting facing the wind, holding the familiar erhu.

"Old Wu?"

"I finally caught you, Xiaobai!"

The person who delivered the letter under the moonlight was Xiaobai, the waiter who came to the First-Class Inn last month; and the person who intercepted the letter was Lao Wu, the zither player who came here half a month ago.

"Catch... catch what..."

"Of course, it's to catch you committing a crime."

Xiao Bai's eyes changed, but he said without leaving any flaws: "What crime? I don't understand what you are talking about at all."

"Don't explain to me, explain to the boss."

boss?

Xiaobai's heart trembled, and when he looked down, he finally realized that his boss Chao Yilu had been standing in the yard and appeared next to the fallen body of the pigeon.

Chao Yiliu turned the pigeon's body over with his foot, his eyes fell on the small wooden tube tied to its foot, and said lightly: "If I'm not mistaken, you are the third in command of the Black Wind Village, right, Xiaobai?"

Xiao Bai's eyelids twitched, and he staggered back a few steps. "What do you mean by 'third in command'? You mean, I'm from Black Wind Village? Boss, don't be ridiculous! If I were really a bandit, why would they attack me so harshly today? And where did the third in command of Black Wind Village come from?"

Chao Yiliu couldn't help but sneered when he heard this: "Yeah, yeah... they hit you so hard that you vomited blood, but now you are standing here in good health. Could it be that young people are full of energy and recover quickly? You suffered such serious internal injuries, but you can be alive and kicking in less than an hour?"

After hearing this, Xiaobai was speechless and sweating profusely.

Chao Yiliu continued, "Also, since you said you are not a bandit, how do you know that there is no Third Master in Black Wind Village?"

"Ah... this... of course it's because the court's wanted order said there are only two leaders in Black Wind Village!"

"Oh? It seems to be true... You actually managed to explain it away. You really have some quick wits! No wonder you dared to come here alone as an undercover agent!"

He praised Yiliu, then realized that his attitude was inappropriate and immediately stopped smiling, "Ahem... since you don't admit it, let me tell you!" "The Black Wind Village had a third leader, just half a year ago!"

"Half a year ago, Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin destroyed a gang of bandits in the southwest. Although they were defeated, they did not die out. Instead, they fled in all directions. Some of them drifted to this area and joined the Black Wind Village. Their leader is you."

"As a new member, you were excluded everywhere in the mountain stronghold. In order to gain enough status and say, you set your sights on Taiping Town, which Black Wind Stronghold had never plundered, and volunteered to come here to scout the area. Your goal was to find a suitable time to join forces with the remaining bandits and rob the wealth of the town's richest man, me."

"As for what happened in the inn just now, the humiliation, beating, vomiting blood and other scenes were all performed for outsiders to clear your suspicion of being involved in this conspiracy..."

"Although in the end, the play you worked so hard to rehearse only had Xiaolu as an audience."

Zheng~
Old Wu on the roof pulled the erhu in his hand and said in dissatisfaction: "Boss Chao, your words are suspected of discriminating against blind people!"

"Oh? Sorry, sorry..."

Chao Yiliu smiled shyly towards the roof and apologized with a fist, "I spoke too quickly, please don't take it as an offense, Mr. Wu."

Xiaobai is confused at this moment.

He didn't know why Chao Yilu knew his affairs so clearly, but he knew that if he didn't leave, he would be imprisoned in the Taiping Town Yamen like Wang Da and Zhu Er, and become a political achievement of the constables.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai made a prompt decision and threw the package on his shoulder to Chao Yiliu to buy time to escape, and at the same time turned around and rushed towards the courtyard wall.

The movements of his hands were smooth and seamless, his steps were fast, and his body moved as nimbly as a rabbit.

However, no matter how fast the Qinggong is, it can never be faster than the speed of sound.

As soon as the sound of the erhu strings was heard, the internal energy turned into an invisible sharp blade that came to claim his life.

The next moment, blood splattered everywhere, and the corpse fell to the ground along with the blood.

"Poor Xiaobai, he passed away at such a young age..."

Looking at Xiaobai lying on the ground without a breath, Chao Yilu couldn't help but feel sorry for him: "Wouldn't it be nice to be a helper here? Wang Da and Zhu Er have both been executed, why do you want to go back and be a bandit..."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Old Wu who had come to his side, complaining, "Are all the people from the No. 1 Village in the World so ruthless?"

The No. 1 Village in the World, a well-known organization in the Suzaku Dynasty.

It is said that it has recruited talents from all walks of life, with the official power of the dynasty helping to run it behind the scenes, and a wealthy man spending a large amount of money to support it, so it has a very loud reputation in the world.

The main business of Tianxia Diyizhuang is to do things for money and deal with disturbances in the underworld within the Suzaku Dynasty.

For example, this time, the small towns around Taiping Town had been harassed by the bandits from Black Wind Village for a long time. Finally, they could no longer bear it and went to Tianxia Diyi Village to ask them to come forward to deal with the bandits.

Because of its upright conduct and low fees, Tianxiadiyizhuang has an extremely good reputation among the people.

Compared to Lu Ping who is alone, this organization is actually more like a "Jianghu Wanshiwu".

"Sorry, I was too harsh!"

"But the order I received was to capture all the bandits in Black Wind Village!"

Old Wu is the guest official sent by the No. 1 Manor in the World to accept commissions from the public and deal with the bandits!
