Gu Yuan told Ah Wu, "Deploy another group of people."
"You have to do it as soon as possible. I'm afraid they've already noticed it. It's best to search the area nearby to avoid other secret passages."
Jiang Shanshan said.
She knows this very well.
There are three cunning rabbit holes. How can these people only have one place to go in and out?
Gu Yuan glanced at her and nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with her point of view.
After Ah Wu got the order, he immediately went down to do it.
Fortunately, using the Messaging Eagle can quickly transfer people, and the others were sent to search other entrances and exits.
Jiang Shanshan followed Gu Yuan, and there were two other people following him.
They walked into a slightly larger courtyard in the village, and the whole village was still eerily quiet.
The light from the firelight illuminated the courtyard. There were traces of life in this courtyard, and clean clothes were hung to dry by the wall.
Because it was too quiet, their breath was extremely clear.
Suddenly, Jiang Shanshan couldn't walk anymore. She pulled the corner of her cloak hanging on the ground, turned around and whispered: "Hey, you stepped on my cloak."
The person holding the fire folding piece heard the words and immediately backed away.
"Subordinates deserve to die!"
Jiang Shanshan waved his hands and was about to speak when he saw lights all around him suddenly light up.
The entire courtyard also came into view clearly, followed by those knives with a cold glow.
Don't get me wrong, she's not pretending to be weak, she's just looking for a shelter to attack in a vulgar way.
Gu Yuan did not move, but looked at the people appearing around him. Although they were dressed like ordinary people, the aura on their bodies was that of Lian Jiazi.
It seems that we really found the right place.
At this time, the leader who was looking at them also spoke: "I don't care who you are and how you found this place, but you have no chance to go out again."
"It's not a bad tone, but a group of young people dare to speak nonsense." said one person who put away the fire certificate.
He placed his palm on the saber at his waist and waited for his master's order.
"Hmph!" The leader shook the flesh on his face, "Kill them and keep the women."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the exposed half of Jiang Shanshan's head.
Although he didn't look carefully just now, he could probably see a beautiful woman.
Gu Yuan's expression was troubled, and the coldness in his eyes was even darker.
"Is this where Jiang Mao's private salt is shipped?" he asked.
The boss with a sinister face narrowed his eyes, obviously not intending to answer, and directly ordered people to take them down.
In this way, you can understand without guessing.
Gu Yuan glanced at the person behind him, drew out his long sword and chopped off the big knife someone had struck, leaving a straight slash on the other person's body.
Jiang Shanshan moved his eyes away. If he entered three points again, he would probably be split into two.
She wisely found a place to squat on her own, and from time to time she put a concealed weapon to hit her.
It made the two guards a lot easier.
As for Gu Yuan, he had already raised his sword and slashed at that guy, and the small yard was soon in a mess.
The torch fell on the courtyard gate and set fire to the surrounding area.
Soon, reinforcements arrived and rushed in without saying a word.
The man with a sinister face was cut off by Gu Yuan without mercy and had one of his hands stomped on the ground.
Ah Wu stepped forward to take a look and reported: "Sir, there are two secret passages in the woods outside the village. There are traces of transportation. My subordinates have sent people to chase them."
Upon hearing this, the leader on the ground struggled for a moment, "Who are you? Since you know that the person behind me is the Jiang family, aren't you afraid of offending them?"
"Offended?" Gu Yuan put his foot down hard, "I'm offended, so what?"
"Uh, you..."
"There should be a secret room in this courtyard, look for it quickly."
Jiang Shanshan said, taking the lead in entering the house.
The leader's eyes widened, and before he could speak, Awu blocked his mouth.
Gu Yuan followed Jiang Shanshan, and the two of them investigated and found a hollow in the corner of the main room. When they opened it, it turned out to be a secret room.
Jiang Shanshan's eyes were shining, but he didn't go down first. Instead, he let the guards explore the way, and then the two of them followed.
Following the steps to the bottom, Jiang Shanshan soon saw boxes of things placed in the secret room.
Without any further instructions, the guard went to open it, "Sir, it's Qingyan!"
The guard opened the bag and took a sip.
Gu Yuan stepped forward and ordered people to open all the boxes. The secret room was so large that it looked like it had been built by hollowing out the entire village.
This is enough to prove the number of these private salts.
Jiang Shanshan had already gone elsewhere. After checking, she only found a place where property was suspected to be stored.
The reason why I say it is suspicious is because there are some small things like beads left in the remaining old boxes.
It seemed that they had shipped it away in advance, which was really prudent. They only sent people to investigate before they aroused suspicion and transferred the property away.
It seems that other places will be more cautious after receiving the news.
However, this has nothing to do with her, after all, this is the money to be made in front of her.
"How?" Gu Yuan came over at some point and stood behind her.
The shadows of the two people overlapped under the candlelight, which was inexplicably tinged with ambiguity.
He only glanced at it and then looked away.
"They shouldn't have far to go, and they have a lot of property. Even if they advance, they won't be much faster than us. It's too late to catch up if we stand still."
Gu Yuan nodded.
"What are you going to do with this batch of private salt? If you give it to the public, you will cause a lot of trouble. If you keep it privately!" She rolled her eyes and said, "You can give me a little, not much, so it's good to have both."
Even 20% of this private money would be enough for her to buy a decent house in Beijing.
Gu Yuan had a smile in his eyes. Although he didn't explain how he would deal with it, he said, "I can't do without you."
"This is what you said." Jiang Shanshan clapped his hands, extremely happy.
After a lifetime, she finally experienced the happiness of being rich again.
After the people from behind came to take over the place, Jiang Shanshan and Gu Yuan went up.
Awu was still looking at the leader at this time. When he saw his master, he reported the news from the interrogation.
"Are you sure this is true?" Gu Yuan glanced at the leader who nodded sharply.
Awu let go of his gagged mouth and said, "According to what he said, it was indeed the county magistrate here who sent someone to respond."
As he spoke, he hesitated and said: "Young Master..."
When it comes to county officials, they really can't just go in and kill people at will.
Therefore, I am afraid that this matter needs to be considered in the long term and acted upon safely.
But Gu Yuan's next words shocked him.
"The county magistrate here found traces of the enemy's little prince and was silenced. How does this have anything to do with the salt smuggling incident?"
Awu was stunned for a moment, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"What the young master said is..."
"I've already killed you, so you should let me go, right?" Seeing that Gu Yuan believed his words, the leader also breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you don't kill me, I will tell you everything I know."
"You?" Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows lightly.
The leader lost too much blood and looked pale, "Yes, I promise to tell you everything I know..."
"No need!"
After Gu Yuan finished speaking, he waved his sword and wiped his neck conveniently.
