Chapter 176: What a fast escort (1 update)
Even in Tianyuan Town, monsters occasionally cause trouble, causing some casualties.
Compared with the continuous influx of people every day, it is still on an upward trend.
So the population of Tianyuan Town is constantly expanding.
The reason is also very simple.
The safest and largest town within a hundred miles is Tianyuan Town.
Coupled with the good public security, the strength of Yudifu, and the word-of-mouth reputation, Tianyuan Town is almost one of the safest places to live in the neighborhood for a long time.
Under this veneer of prosperity, there are demons lurking inside, and poor people are captured and sold as slaves without anyone knowing, and so on.
Fang Yu sighed, the ordinary natives in this game are really difficult to get along with.
Being able to live to old age and die is a matter of luck.
"Ask whose children they are, how they were caught, and what information you can provide."
Fang Yu gave a few instructions, then turned to Yu Xiguo and asked.
"Where is Mo Lingyu now?"
"I don't know." Yu Xiguo shook his head again.
“As soon as Ronghua Dyeing Shop was investigated yesterday, she ran away and there is no news.”
Ran away?
With such a big industry, if a monk can run away, can he still run into a temple?
"Where is her family?"
"They should all be staying in Mo Mansion."
That's okay. People with families can't run away easily.
Fang Yu looked at Yu Xiguo and said curiously.
“Why don’t you run?”
“I am innocent, sir! How could I run away! Besides, for this peony dyeing workshop, I invested all my worth. If I run away, I’ll lose everything, and I’m still counting on it to turn me around.”
Oh, you gambler.
The end of Stud, hum!
Fang Yu thought to himself, completely forgetting how he studied attribute points before.
When I asked these slaves, they were basically sacked, knocked unconscious and taken away, and they woke up here.
"Sir, my lord! I want to follow you!"
"Me, me too! I want to practice martial arts!"
Fang Yu is working with his men on the information, slave The only two young men among them suddenly took a step forward.
Fang Yu:? ? ?
Fang Yu had a black question mark on his face.
Brother, I am not a nanny.
And I can't protect myself. Do you think too highly of me? I'm not a martial arts master.
[Bi Yan: 3/5. 】
[Wei Quan: 4/6. 】
After looking at the blood volume of the two people again, Fang Yu waved his hand.
"I can't teach you. All my skills were given to me by the Yudi Mansion and the martial arts school and cannot be passed on to others. If you want to practice martial arts, you can find a way to enter the Yudi Mansion. Someone will guide you to get started."
Do you want to practice martial arts? Enter the foolish hell first.
Do you want to enter the underworld of fools? Have the ability first!
This is an endless cycle, so things like martial arts schools came into being and became the lubricant in the middle.
As for martial arts schools, they need money to support them.
So at the beginning of practicing martial arts, it is really important to have someone to help you guide you.
Without Li Qianxuan’s kindness, Fang Yu wouldn’t know where he would be now, how could he have been so successful and climbed up step by step.
For example, Chen Cangwen next to him, without the courtesy of Qianxuan, is probably in the same situation as a gangster like Wang Er at this age.
Speaking of which, this guy feels a bit weird, and he seems to be trying to catch up with players.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter.
With the two teenagers looking disappointed, Fang Yu led the people outside the outer secret room.
Mo Lingyu’s Mo Mansion needs to be investigated.
If you can't find it, immediately turn around and check the remnants of the [Xingji Gang] given by Lin Wu.
After all, Mo Lingyu is cooperating with the [Xingji Gang]. Mo Lingyu can't be found. The remnants of the [Xingji Gang] are still there, maybe they can get some information.
Now it is no longer as simple as finding the missing brother.
If your guess is correct.
The number of demons involved in the slave trade line is not small, and it is a major case that is enough to mobilize the upper-level forces of Yudi Mansion.
“It always feels a bit dangerous.”
"No matter what, let's go check out the secret doors and secret rooms in the peony dyeing workshop that Yu Xiguo knows about first."
"If we still can't find my eldest brother, we'll make another plan."
< br>Fang Yu had some calculation in mind and waited for him to leave the secret room.
"My lord!"
"My lord!"
Those waiting outside immediately saluted.
Fang Yu nodded slightly.
"A few slaves were found inside, and two people were arranged to take care of them. The others continued to follow me."
"Yes!"
This is probably the feeling of responding to a hundred responses. .
Looking at these obedient subordinates, Fang Yu felt pretty good.
Fang Yu said after Yu Xiguo and others came out of the secret room.
"Guardian Yu, please lead the way."
Yu Xiguo said with a grimace: "Sir, do I consider this a crime and meritorious service?"
Fang Yu looked at him sideways.
"Are you guilty?"
Yu Xiguo immediately became happy.
"Thank you, sir!"
No thanks, no thanks.
I’m just asking.
I have no right to keep you safe.
Besides, if you are really innocent and not involved, naturally no one will cause trouble for you.
For now, first stabilize the Yuxi Kingdom and lead the way for yourself.
The team sets off again.
This time it was Yuxiguo who led the way.
He walked very fast and enthusiastically, and he was familiar with Peony. His enthusiastic look gave people a strange feeling of "Taijun is walking here".
Everyone else heard what Fang Yu said, but they didn't say anything.
In their view, this was an ordinary slave trading incident.
It is very common for the peony dyeing workshop to be unclean and for the manager to expose the incident and try to make a meritorious deed.
It mainly depends on whether the leader of the execution team is willing to give him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
There is a lot of flexibility inside, and it belongs to the team leader.
After all, the after-action report is submitted by the team leader. Unless there are major mistakes or the deviation is too far from the facts, the superiors will not study it in detail.
The case was solved and a slave trading den was destroyed. That was enough.
The people below can naturally provide some evidence to prove that the team leader is robbing people, pretending to be public for personal gain, and lining his own pockets.
But...who is willing to do such a thankless thing.
Not to mention, since Diao Deyi wants to protect people, those people with knowledge at the scene will usually get some benefits. Otherwise, how can we make the people with knowledge shut up?
However, in fact, all of them underestimated this matter.
This is not a raid on a slave trading den, but a discovery of the demon's flesh and blood supply bank. The difference is huge.
This is the advantage brought by information difference.
Fang Yu is lurking on the side of the demon. The Red Moon Demon personally mentioned the peony dyeing workshop, which means that this place must have something to do with the demon.
Coupled with the matter of the slave den, the association will naturally begin.
While Fang Yu was thinking of this, the second secret door to the secret room arrived.
This is a study room in an attic. Yu Xiguo moved the books a few times, the walls moved, the stone door opened, and a staircase spreading downward was revealed in front of everyone.
You know this secret room is so deep?
Facing Fang Yu’s suspicious gaze, Yu Xiguo smiled awkwardly.
"When you work with the Mo family, you have to be careful. I swear, I have never been in there! It has nothing to do with this!"
Just swear.
Fang Yu rolled his eyes slightly, not believing a word of this nonsense.
Let Chen Cangwen and others stay outside while he leads the team down. After a while, Fang Yu came out of the secret room with a somewhat ugly expression.
Behind him, there were two more demented girls wearing tattered clothes, looking dull and in a trance.
"What's wrong?" Chen Cangwen asked strangely without any sense of boundaries.
“There are several corpses down there.”
Fang Yu did not elaborate.
But with just such a sentence, you can roughly imagine what is going on below.
Chen Cangwen smacked his lips, somewhat disinterested.
It’s just a few slaves who died, but two more were saved.
Yu Xiguo felt Fang Yu's emotional changes and accompanied him nervously.
"Sir, I really don't know. If I knew, could I have allowed Mo Lingyu to die? Of course not!"
Fang Yu stopped and looked at it coldly. He glanced.
"Next secret room, lead the way."
"Yes...yes!"
Yu Xiguo quickly lowered his head and responded.
In terms of strength, he is above the average ten households.
But in terms of power and status, he was not even qualified to raise his head in front of these foolish officials.
It's not like Fang Yu has never seen corpses before.
He just didn't expect that the body would be tortured like that.
It is already strange that these slaves were not transferred in time.
It is even more strange that there are still traces of abuse left in the secret room.
It's like a split personality. On the one hand, he wants to evacuate, but on the other hand, he wants to leave a loophole for the slaves, and even kills to vent his anger, as if he is waiting to be discovered.
Yes, judging from the traces on the bodies, these slaves were killed between last night and this morning.
Currently, there is no trace of the demons here at all.
But traces of the slave trade are everywhere.
Could it be that... they are planning to use the slave trade as an eye-catching spot to cover up the traces of the demon's operation?
Fang Yu frowned slightly, feeling that his ideas were somewhat on point, but also somewhat off.
"Sir, here we are, this is the last secret room that I know of."
Open the secret room and enter it.
Soon, Fang Yu came out shaking his head.
This secret room is even more complete. Everyone is dead and there is no one left alive.
That’s cruel enough.
Now Fang Yu is basically sure that Mo Lingyu should know that her three secret rooms have been discovered by Yuxi Kingdom.
These three secret rooms have a vague sense of being made for others to see.
Fang Yu looked at Yu Xiguo, who lowered his head nervously and said helplessly.
"Sir, it's gone, it's gone. I only know those three secret rooms. That Mo Lingyu is very wary and has never trusted me."
It seems that it still has to be Let's start the investigation from Mo Lingyu.
As for the whereabouts of the eldest brother, there is no information at all.
The only good news is that there is no trace of the elder brother among those corpses.
Fang Yu had known his elder brother’s appearance before, so he could recognize him at a glance, but after looking at him twice, he still had no problem identifying the body.
There are no familiar faces in the corpse, which means that the eldest brother did not die in the peony dyeing workshop. It is very likely that he was...sold as a low-quality slave, and was sold to the monster as rations.
It’s not that Fang Yu likes to speculate on the worst case scenario, but based on the currently known intelligence information, this possibility is indeed the greatest.
He wouldn't tell his second sister about this. Unless his eldest brother's body was really found, he might as well just treat it as a missing person and give his second sister some hope.
"If you still want to investigate, I can provide you with a few suspicious places."
As if afraid that he would be useless, the previous agreement to plead guilty and meritorious service was invalid, so Yuxiguo hurriedly joined in. Come up and lower your voice.
Good guy, lead the way to the end.
So dedicated.
"Okay, you..."
Boom! !
Before Fang Yu finished speaking, there was a sudden explosion not far away.
Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of the source of the sound.
Fang Yu frowned slightly.
That direction seems to be...
"The main entrance! The main entrance and exit of the Peony Dyeing House!" Yu Xiguo next to him affirmed.
Fang Yu was confused.
What does it mean?
Is someone making trouble?
This is a case being handled by the stupid government. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will die?
Fang Yu immediately thought that there were only two possibilities.
First, the lurking demon was exposed and killed.
Second, Mo Lingyu came back with his men.
No matter what it is, as the team leader, he must lead the team to see it immediately.
Fortunately, there were men beside him to help him hold the horse.
Immediately, Fang Yu mounted his horse.
“Drive!”
After flattering him, Fang Yu headed towards the main entrance.
The rest of the people looked at each other and followed suit.
……
Peony dyeing workshop, main entrance.
“Who is it!”
“Bold! Who dares to cause trouble when the hell is under investigation?”
As the door exploded in pieces, sawdust flew everywhere, and stood at the door. A group of men in black came into everyone's eyes.
Li Qianxuan was stunned for a moment.
Wearing night clothes in broad daylight is causing trouble!
For a time, Li Qianxuan's thoughts were like lightning.
His reactions have never been slow and his ability has not been bad.
It’s just that they are busy building forces and recruiting people, which has slowed down the progress of martial arts practice.
His own ability has always been considered good among the ten households.
“Who would need to wear night clothes to act in broad daylight?”
“Kicking the door open, the attack is menacing, which shows that what needs to be done is no small matter, and the flash of swords is indispensable.”
< br>"Knowing that people like me and others from the Yudi Mansion are coming to investigate, you still dare to act like this..."
"These men in black, could they be...people from the Peony Dyeing House!?"
Something moved in my heart.
Li Qianxuan made a prompt decision and grabbed the butler of the dyeing workshop next to him. While pressing the butler to the ground, he drew a sword and put it on the butler's neck.
Pressing the sword on the butler's neck with one hand, he tilted his head and looked at the people at the door, and shouted coldly.
“Everyone, stop!”
“Whoever dares to come one step closer will be killed by the butler of your peony dyeing workshop!”
Butler Yu of the dyeing workshop is an elderly man.
He had long been frightened by Li Qianxuan's formation, and his hands and feet were trembling, and he did not dare to move rashly.
What he couldn't understand even more was why Li Qianxuan could blame their peony dyeing shop for this matter.
He didn't know these men in black who suddenly broke down the door and broke in. He didn't know who they were. What's the use of threatening me!
Butler Yu was panicking, scared, and trembling.
But what made him even more desperate was that the group of men in black looked at each other in confusion, as if they were looking at each other with confusion on their faces.
Then the men in black waved their hands, and they all swarmed in without hesitation.
Li Qianxuan's expression changed and he grabbed the housekeeper.
"Wait..."
Before he could say anything, someone among the men in black suddenly waved his hand.
Whoosh——
The sound of screaming breaking through the air instantly interrupted Li Qianxuan's words.
He didn't even have time to make a move. Before the expression on his face changed, his arm suddenly shook.
Bah! !
The sharp hidden weapon like a dart has actually pierced Butler Yu’s forehead.
Butler Yu's eyes widened, blood overflowed from his forehead, the body twitched twice and lost its breath.
