Chapter 37 Chaos
Since the Huang Shiye incident, Chuanming County has been in chaos.
The county magistrate was seriously injured, and the yamen runners died and the rebellion caused the county magistrate to be almost unable to operate.
All kinds of hooligans take the opportunity to make trouble, stealing and robbing are just ordinary.
More than a dozen large-scale smashing and setting fires occurred in several towns near the county government. The specific reason is still unclear. It is speculated that it was created by Mr. Huang.
In addition, the towns near the lake gathered very many people, most of whom went to the big crocodile, and the fishermen's boats were forcibly bought, or even stolen or robbed openly.
Zhuangyu Lake is very lively every day, and wars often occur in the central area. Coupled with the storm, many people are buried at the bottom of the lake every day.
In just a few days, Chuanming County, which had always been quite stable, became panic and the atmosphere spread to Chuanning County.
Many people even started packing their bags and running away.
The situation was so serious that Nie Qingyun, the general manager of Ganzhou, could not sit idly by. He made a quick decision and sent hundreds of teams to Chuanming County to maintain order, but the results were minimal.
By the time the Dali Temple Shaoqing Qu Yixiong led his team to arrive, Chuanming County was already in chaos.
"Did our Seventh Team make a mistake?"
After listening to the tavern's mate, Du Yong looked at Yang Jin and smiled bitterly.
If the crocodile had been secretly transported away at that time, this might not have happened.
Yang Jin shook his head: "It would be better if this kind of thing broke out earlier. If you hide it, it will be more intense when it breaks out in the future. And you do things strictly in accordance with the regulations, but you didn't expect that the subsequent development would be like this."
Then he changed into a serious expression: "The chaos like Chuanming County must be suppressed by thunder, otherwise it will soon affect the overall stability of Ganzhou, and then quickly affect the surrounding prefectures and counties, and even pose a threat to the capital."
Du Yong was startled: "Is that serious?"
Yang Jin said in a deep voice: "This is definitely not an alarmist statement, but a very rational judgment. Dayan has been surging in recent years. In addition to the biggest external troubles of Mengji, the plateau people are also eyeing each other, let alone the world. All kinds of gangs and evil factions have been ready to move. Now that there is a sudden such a good opportunity, all parties will definitely take the initiative to make trouble."
Du Yong didn't have that deep understanding of the situation, but after Yang Jin's analysis, he also felt it made sense: "I thought at that time that Dali Temple sent so many people to investigate the case was a bit of a big deal. Now it seems that the manpower is far from enough. Pei Ming also wanted to catch crocodiles. Maybe his confidant He Muye would be slaughtered by a gangster person who robbed crocodiles."
Yang Jin asked with a smile: "Do you still want to find Tao Qingyun's bad luck now?"
Du Yong sighed, "Forget it this time, he is from the court, and he can contribute even if he is big or small. But we are all here, so we have to do something, right?"
Yang Jin said: "It's easy to make trouble. Just take the crocodile people or the thieves who gather to fight."
After leaving the tavern, it was already dark.
Many houses in the town have been smashed and set fired, burned and dilapidated, and were shined by the sunset, making them look particularly desolate.
The passing people all looked solemn and walked in a hurry, making the atmosphere even more depressing.
Occasionally, groups of hooligans walked and laughed while walking with the beaten steps, and their expressions contrasted sharply with the people, as if they had ushered in the highlight of their lives.
Yang Jin and Du Yong decided to go to the lake to see the situation. The road was not easy to walk on, and even if they were riding a horse, the speed was not very fast.
After running to a distance, several big men suddenly rushed out and blocked them in the middle of the road: "Stop!"
Du Yong and Yang Jin both stopped the horse at the same time.
There are seven or eight of these big men, all holding weapons in their hands, looking extraordinary, unlike ordinary hooligans.
A big bald head with an axe came out, probably the leader. He looked at Du Yang and the others up and down for a long time, and his eyes finally fell on the two horses: "Two guys, are you trying to go into the lake to catch crocodiles?"
Yang Jin smiled: "We're just taking a look."
The big bald man snorted coldly: "No matter what you want to do, leave 200 taels of toll and let you go."
It turns out that it was a robbery.
Du Yong asked Yang Jin quietly: "Would you like to have sex with them?"
Yang Jin replied in a low voice: "Look at their right shoulder."
Du Yong quickly looked over with his eyes and found that there was a small wolf head logo printed on their right shoulders.
The bald man shouted, "What are you muttering about? Get the money quickly, otherwise you will save your life."
His men were ready to rub their hands and slowly surrounded them with ferocious smiles on their faces. Judging from their posture, they knew that they were used to licking blood from the knife.
It is conceivable that even if Du Yong and Yang Jin took out the money honestly, they would not give up.
Yang Jin asked lightly: "Dare you guys, are they all from the Fire Wolf Gang?"
The bald man raised his eyebrows: "Since you know the identity of the man, why haven't you paid the money yet? Do you really want to be killed by a random knife?"
His men immediately laughed.
"So it's really a smack of the Fire Wolf Gang, kill them all!"
Yang Jin told Du Yong that he clasped his horse's belly and rushed towards the big bald head. After running a few steps, he then came out of the air.
The palm wind roared away with the murderous intent. The big bald man realized that he had encountered a hard point. He did not avoid it, but instead raised his axe to block the attack. However, he overestimated himself and flew backwards with a bang.
He was so good, and after landing, he quickly rolled to the side, barely avoiding the trampling of the horse's hooves, and then a carp stood up, his eyes showing a fierce look, and shouted wildly: "Fuck them to death!"
Without his instructions, all the men had already rushed forward.
Du Yong rode his horse out of the encirclement, then soared into the air, swept his legs.
Three madmen who were close to each other were swept away on the spot.
Du Yong rushed up and took three punches. As the sound of the fracture passed, the three of them spewed out blood mist in the sky at the same time, falling to the ground and twitching.
Seeing that Du Yong's methods were so cruel, the remaining madmen immediately felt like they were withdrawn. They screamed and turned around and ran wildly.
Yang Jin in front had already dealt with the big bald man and shouted at Du Yong: "Don't let go!"
Du Yong bent down and picked up four stones, and he moved his strength and threw them casually.
A blue light flashed by.
The stones scattered and hit the back of the madmen's necks, directly hitting them against each other. After running seven or eight steps by inertia, they fell to the ground with a few clangs and could no longer get up.
[Kill a martial artist in Qi training realm, rewarding 100 points!]
[Kill a martial artist in Qi training realm, rewarding 100 points!]
...
All of them are in Qi training realm, and a total of 700 points are rewarded.
Yang Jin looked at this scene and jumped over quickly, saying in surprise: "You really know hidden weapons?"
Du Yong was stunned: "Didn't I tell you yesterday?"
Yang Jin shook his head incredibly: "Switch out four pieces at the same time, divergent, not only has a perfect head, but also has no less force. I think it is much more powerful than your sword technique!"
Of course it is better than swordsmanship.
The sword technique is only purple, while the hidden weapon is pink.
Du Yong shrugged: "After all, it's an ancient book, and they were just rushing to escape and were not prepared."
Yang Jin was still shocked: "Although it is a sneak attack move, it is also very powerful. Practice it well!"
Du Yong laughed silently: "Didn't you let me do these messes before?"
Yang Jin waved his hand: "I'm afraid that you will spend all your thoughts on dregs, so good things will be a different matter."
Du Yong asked, "Then do you want to practice?"
Although the secret book has been broken into powder, there are still patterns in your mind and you can write it out at any time.
Yang Jin shook his head: "I'd better concentrate on practicing swords. Fancy things are not suitable for me."
Du Yong stopped caring about it and asked, "What the hell is the Fire Wolf Gang? Is it an evil sect?"
Yang Jin explained: "It should be considered a gangster. In the past, it was done in transportation, such as chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables, fruits, etc., but later, it might be that the profit of this kind of trading was too low, so it started to build salt and iron tools."
Du Yong frowned: "Salt goods and ironware are all business of the public!"
Yang Jin said for granted: "Actually, this kind of thing is not uncommon. There are many gangs who are secretly doing it. The Fire Wolf Gang is special. It recruits newcomers and specializes in recruiting gangsters, oppressing the people and buying officials. You should have heard of the case of wealthy families in Pingzhou, right?"
Du Yong thought about it and seemed to have some impression.
That happened several years ago. More than thirty people were killed in one night and the room was looted.
Du Yong asked, "I remember that case seemed to be done by a local gang of gangsters. Could it be that the Fire Wolf Gang is also involved?"
Yang Jin explained: "When I went to the black market to shop, I found several valuable jade ornaments, which were from the rich family. I accidentally learned that the seller was the Fire Wolf Gang. No one dared to touch the stolen goods of that kind, which shows that the Fire Wolf Gang is most likely the mastermind behind the scenes."
Du Yong was deeply moved.
Yang Jin snorted coldly: "We are just passing by. They actually have to charge 200 taels. If they don't take money, they will take human life. You can imagine how arrogant and domineering they are in normal times."
Du Yong guessed: "Salt goods are already very profitable, and they still come to Zhuangyu Lake to join in the fun. It should be for the big crocodile. Sending people to block the road and rob money is just a business by the way."
Yang Jin nodded: "The big crocodile has special significance and is indeed worthy of their actions. It is also possible that it is purely fearing that the world will not be in chaos."
Du Yong asked: "How are their overall strength?"
Yang Jin smiled and said, "You don't want to take it with them, do you?"
Du Yong pointed to the corpse on the ground: "Isn't this already carried on!"
Yang Jin thought for a while: "The gang members of the Fire Wolf Gang are uneven in strength, and they are mostly based on Qi training and seal engraving. Among the high-level forces, there should be many people who climb the Tower Realm, and there are probably two or three in Jin Destruction Realm."
Du Yong was amazed: "There is actually a master from Jin Destruction Realm, that's very powerful!"
It is already quite good for ordinary gangs to be the leader of the tower.
