After Lin Canglan asked, he couldn't help but look at Lu Ze and said, "Brother Lu, do you have anything to ask Brother Xue?"
When Lu Ze heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head.
He had already noticed this mission a month ago, and then deliberately spent money to invite several waves of Zhenwu guards who participated in this mission to go to Goulan to listen to music, and even paid for them to stay overnight in the Jiaofang Division.
Regarding the general situation of this mission, he knew almost more than Xue Hong.
Of course, he did not tell Lin Canglan about these preparations.
He was confident that he could deal with Guo Yuantao, and the main purpose of inviting Lin Canglan to participate in this task was just to ensure nothing went wrong.
Lu Ze smiled and said: "Brother Xue, we already know the general situation of this case. Now I need to make arrangements for the people below. I wonder if you have any quiet venue for us here. I have something to do with them.
Need to discuss."
"Quiet place? There are some!"
Xue Hong was startled when he heard this. Is this a plan to arrest Guo Yuantao right after dinner?
Immediately he ordered: "Butler, take Brother Lu, Brother Lin and others to the west wing, and ask the people below to free up all the houses in the west wing for everyone to live in, and organize a place that can accommodate twenty or thirty people to discuss matters.
Room."
"yes."
The butler said respectfully: "My lords, please follow me."
Watching the group of people walking towards the west wing of the backyard, Xue Hong couldn't help but have a trace of joy in his eyes, and murmured in a low voice: "I hope this time will not be a waste of time again, Anyuan County can't stand the trouble."
ah."
The housekeeper led the way, and it took him as long as a cup of tea to pass through rockeries, bamboo forests, lakes, and corridors before leading everyone to the west chamber.
This magistrate's mansion, which is no less luxurious than the residence of Lord Zhenwusi Zhenfu, gives everyone a new understanding of the magistrate's mansion.
"My lords, there are eight small courtyards in the west wing, and there are thirty-seven rooms. The small ones have been cleaned and all the bedding has been replaced with new ones. Then you can find a room and move in.
"
The housekeeper pointed to the largest courtyard in front of him and said: "This courtyard and the rooms inside are specially used for discussing matters with your Lordships. If you, Lords, need anything else, you can give instructions to the people below."
"Okay." Lu Ze nodded.
"The younger one will go down first. If you adults need anything, you can give instructions to the servants in the west wing."
After the butler finished speaking, he bowed and left.
Lu Ze led everyone into the small courtyard and said: "Everyone, according to all the information known so far, the first six Zhenwu guards who participated in this mission should have successfully captured or killed Guo Yuantao by fishing.
"
"In the end, it was Guo Yuantao who died to deceive the people who came to participate in the mission into thinking that the mission had been successfully completed. In the end, they unexpectedly discovered that Guo Yuantao was still at large."
"It can be roughly inferred from this that after Guo Yuantao's death, his body would disappear for no reason and then complete his rebirth elsewhere."
"Based on his past criminal experience, there are two main motives for committing crimes."
"One massacred the wealthy businessman's family and then robbed all the belongings in the family. The other kidnapped the girl, found a secret place to defile her, and then brutally killed her."
"These two motives for committing crimes, one is for money and the other is for sex, are also the most common motives for martial artists in the world."
"From the previous six teams that participated in the mission, we can infer that Guo Yuantao is not afraid of death, because as long as he dies, he can complete his rebirth elsewhere and continue to be at large."
"So after we met Guo Yuantao, we could not choose to kill him. Instead, we needed to capture him alive without even giving him any chance to commit suicide."
"I want to emphasize that we must capture him alive before he finds a chance to commit suicide!"
"If you have any objections or something you don't understand, you can raise them now."
Everyone shook their heads and said nothing.
The inference given by Lu Ze was also recognized by everyone.
Since Guo Yuantao can be reborn after death, there is no point in killing him.
"Now I am almost certain that Lu Ze took this mission because of the secret of Guo Yuantao's ability to be reborn after death."
Su Yu's eyes flashed slightly and he thought to himself.
Not to mention Lu Ze, even he was extremely curious about how a martial artist in the world could come back to life after being killed.
You must know that in the previous teams, some people even chopped off Guo Yuantao's head in order to prevent Guo Yuantao from being reborn.
But even so, Guo Yuantao can still live well, which makes people sigh.
Does this guy really know any magic tricks? Can he blind everyone's eyes with blindfolds? The targets Zhenwuwei kills are just illusions that can be seen with the eyes?
Then he slaughtered the entire family of wealthy businessmen, and kidnapped young girls and then defiled them.
These are real things that happened.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's start with Mr. Lin talking about the plan for this trip."
Lu Ze gave the right to speak to Lin Canglan again, and everyone's eyes turned to Lin Canglan.
Facing everyone's gaze, Lin Canglan said: "This mission is led by Mr. Lu and I. The goal is to capture alive Guo Yuantao, who has committed more than ten murders in Anyuan County."
"Based on Guo Yuantao's motives for committing crimes, it can be inferred that his motives were seeking wealth and sex."
"Mr.
"With women unable to go to the streets, Guo Yuantao's eyes will naturally be on those wealthy families."
"After discussion with Mr. Lu, I have made a decision. Each of the six teams will secretly patrol a street. Once it is discovered that Guo Yuantao has sneaked into a wealthy family's home with the intention of committing a crime, a signal flare will be fired immediately. My officer and Mr. Lu will rush there immediately. The others are still waiting.
The patrol team also needs to rush to the area where the signal flare was launched immediately."
"I would like to remind you that because Guo Yuantao is a warrior in the Bronze Skin Realm, remember not to face the enemy alone and put yourself in danger."
"Now, I will assign six teams to inspect the rich families' homes specifically."
"Gong Kaiwen, your three-person team patrols Lianhua Road, Ji Longcheng, your three-person team patrols Tianxing Road, Owen Jie, you three patrol Beiping Lane, He Zhiwei, you three patrol"
"Did you hear clearly the areas that each team inspected just now?"
"Listen clearly."
Everyone responded one after another.
Lin Canglan nodded and said, "Okay, let's take action now."
"yes!"
Everyone filed out.
Looking at the people leaving, Lin Canglan couldn't help but said: "Lu Ze, this Guo Yuantao just committed a murder last night. According to the pattern of his past crimes, he will stop for at least a few days before continuing to commit crimes."
"Based on my guess, there won't be any movement tonight."
Lu Ze heard this and smiled: "You are right, but we cannot take it lightly."
"What if he commits a crime tonight and we don't take any action? If the news reaches Zhenwu Division, everything will be fine if we are not in Anyuan County. But if we are in Anyuan County and a murder still occurs, what do you think of the above?
What will people think of us? Will they think we have neglected our duties?"
"Based on Guo Yuantao's past crimes, he has never committed a crime during the day."
"In this case, we can rest during the day and make everyone more tired at night. As long as we can capture Guo Yuantao, this task will be mostly completed."
Lin Canglan nodded and said: "You are right, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."
Speaking of this, Lin Canglan continued: "By the way, have you brought everything you prepared?"
Lu Ze nodded and said with a smile: "I had people prepare it yesterday. They have arrived in Anyuan County in advance. As long as Guo Yuantao is captured, the things will naturally come in handy."
"I hope the things you prepared will work."
Lin Canglan said: "Otherwise, we might just be in vain like the previous six teams."
"Haha, Mr. Lin, don't worry about this."
Lu Ze smiled confidently and said: "If I don't have enough confidence, I won't ask for trouble to take on this task."
Anyuan County, Tianxing Road.
After completing their inspection tour, Su Yu and the others jumped onto the roof of an inn on Tianxing Road.
Standing on the roof of this inn, you can overlook most of the residents on Tianxing Road with the help of moonlight.
"Hey, we are lucky. There happens to be an inn that allows us to patrol this entire street."
Ji Longcheng couldn't help but sigh as he felt the cool breeze blowing slightly at night.
Chen Beijiang said: "Cousin, this Guo Yuantao has committed so many murders and is still so confident. He must have a back-up plan. We cannot take it lightly."
"What can we do if we don't take it lightly?"
Ji Longcheng shook his head and said: "Even if Guo Yuantao happened to find a wealthy family on Tianxing Road to loot, do we still have to rush up and fight him?"
"Cousin, Guo Yuantao is a bronze-skinned warrior. Even if the three of us go together, we will never be his opponent."
"Do you know how strong the Bronze Skin Realm is?"
"Let me tell you this, you can slash him with all your strength with your sword, but you won't be able to leave any injuries on the bronze-skin warrior. If he wants to kill you, it's like an adult beating a child."
"What we can do is send out signal flares to tell Lu Ze and Mr. Lin to come over quickly. Do you understand? If we take one more step, our lives may be in danger."
"But."
Chen Beijiang wanted to refute something, but was directly interrupted by Ji Longcheng: "Cousin, besides family members and brothers, how many people can you control in this world? As the saying goes, everything is fate, and you can't control it at all."
"Just as Mr. Xue said before, a girl disappeared last night and was found today."
"Guo Yuantao has been at large in Anyuan County for three months. She knows it is so dangerous outside, but she still has to go out on the streets to play. Can she not be targeted?"
"Many times, when you know it's very dangerous outside, you still want to join in. What's the difference between that and seeking death?"
"All we can do is respect the fate of others, brother Su, don't you think so?"
Su Yu nodded and agreed: "What Brother Ji said is absolutely true. We are just body refining realm warriors. What we can do is to inform Mr. Lin and Mr. Lu after discovering Guo Yuantao's traces."
"There are only two seventh-level meritorious deeds in this mission. At most, we can get a share of this mission. There is no need to risk our lives."
His main purpose in participating in this mission was simply to be very curious about how Guo Yuantao could be reborn after death several times and how he did all this.
At the same time, he also wanted to know what kind of backup plan Lu Ze had prepared since the two previous adults from hundreds of families had failed to complete this task, and he believed that he could successfully complete this task.
As Lu Ze has emphasized several times, the key point of this mission is not to let Guo Yuantao die, or even commit suicide, otherwise he will be able to complete his rebirth.
When Ji Longcheng heard this, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and he praised: "What Brother Su said is absolutely true!"
"We little people are just here to join in the fun, but we must not risk our lives here."
"This is a level seven mission. If you are not careful, you will end up dying in the line of duty."
When Chen Beijiang heard this, he was silent and looked thoughtful.
One night passed, and six teams watched the whole night, but there was no sign of any trouble in the city, and Guo Yuantao did not continue to commit crimes.
Everyone from the six teams returned to the county government office.
After the six teams returned to the county government, Lin Canglan said: "Everyone worked hard last night. Let's have a good rest when we get back. We need to continue patrolling tonight."
"yes!"
Everyone responded one after another, and then after each team finished breakfast, they were assigned a yard to go back to their rooms to rest.
Due to their cultivation, the energy of warriors is several times stronger than that of ordinary people.
Although he had been patrolling for a whole night, Su Yu did not feel any tiredness.
On the contrary, Ji Longcheng and Chen Beijiang each found a room and began to fall asleep.
"Sir, do you have any instructions?" the maid said respectfully.
"I need a medicine jar for brewing decoction." Su Yu said.
Although he was on a business trip, Su Yu still did not forget to brew tonics to improve his attribute points.
"Please wait a moment, sir. I will fetch it for you right away."
The maid bowed and quickly walked towards the front yard.
"Master Xue said before that all the expenses in Anyuan County will be borne by him, so I will ask the people in the house to buy some medicinal materials, and then Mr. Xue will bear the expenses. Shouldn't it be a problem?"
Looking at the maid's retreating figure, Su Yu couldn't help but curse in her heart.
But he just thought about it, as a Zhenwu guard, how could he do such a derogatory thing, and others were just saying polite words.
After a while, the maid came back again, holding a medicine jar for boiling medicine.
"Sir, do you think this medicine jar is suitable?"
The maid said: "If you feel it is not suitable for you, I can go and change it for you."
"Need not."
Su Yu smiled and said: "This medicine jar is enough."
Immediately, Su Yu took the medicine jar, took out a pair of medicinal materials, washed them briefly, then lit a fire in the yard and started cooking.
After brewing the tonic, let it cool and drink it. After waiting for half an hour, Su Yu silently muttered in his heart: "Open the system panel."
As he expected, this tonic did not allow him to gain any attribute points.
Immediately, Su Yu also walked directly into his room and began to rest.
That night, the six teams once again patrolled their assigned streets.
Su Yu and the others patrolled Tianxing Road and after confirming that no movement was found, they prepared to jump on the roof of the inn on this street to fish.
But at this moment, at the end of the three people's field of vision, under the dim moonlit night, a black shadow suddenly flashed past.
"Someone!"
All three of them looked at each other intently.
Chen Beijiang was about to take out the signal bomb and launch it.
"etc."
Just when Chen Beijiang was about to light the flare, Ji Longcheng suddenly stopped him.
When Chen Beijiang saw this, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Cousin, we have to get Mr. Lu and Mr. Lin to come over immediately."
"Do you think that guy looks like an eighth-grade copper-skin realm warrior?"
Ji Longcheng couldn't help but shake his head.
Upon hearing this, Chen Beijiang looked again in the direction where the black shadow flashed past.
I saw the black figure throwing a rope into the courtyard wall, and then using the rope to climb up the courtyard wall with great effort.
This scene made Chen Beijiang stunned.
Even for a Body Refining Realm warrior, it is easy to climb over such a courtyard wall. How could a Bronze Skin Realm warrior not be able to do this and still need to use ropes to climb?
"thief?"
The three of them looked at each other and immediately thought of this person's origins, and the corners of their mouths twitched involuntarily.
The co-author did not wait for Guo Yuantao, but instead waited for a gentleman from Liang Shang who was going to steal money from a wealthy family?
"Cousin, what should we do?" Chen Beijiang couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, this is destined to make a fortune for us tonight."
Ji Longcheng said with a bad smile: "Let's just wait outside and wait for him to come out, and then we'll rob him again."
Patrolling the streets at night was a boring and boring thing in itself, but the sudden appearance of a gentleman in Liang Shang undoubtedly brought a little fun to the three of them.
When Chen Beijiang heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Cousin, is it immoral if we do this?"
"immoral?"
Ji Longcheng glanced at him sideways and asked: "Why is it immoral? We didn't break into the house. We are doing justice for heaven. If there is no benefit, how can there be so many people doing good things in this world?"
"Brother Su, do you think so?"
Seeing the two of them, Su Yu said: "I think Brother Ji is right."
Now he is very poor and can make a fortune.
When Chen Beijiang saw this, he could only nod his head excitedly.
Immediately, the three of them quietly arrived outside the courtyard wall of the house under the cover of night and waited quietly.
A stick of incense passed, and the gentleman on the beam threw the rope over the courtyard wall again.
But when he had just climbed over the wall and jumped off, three masked men had already pulled out a knife and put it on his neck.
"Hoo~"
The cold blade was placed on his neck, which startled the man. His legs felt weak and he almost lost his balance.
He would never have thought that there would be someone waiting for him outside the yard.
"Hehe, boy, it looks like the harvest is not small."
Ji Longcheng, who was masked in black scarf, looked at the luggage behind him and said with a wicked smile.
"You three gentlemen, this money is my right to honor you three, as long as it can let me live."
With the knife held at his neck, the man hurriedly took off the package from his back and said tremblingly.
"Well, you are quite knowledgeable."
Ji Longcheng took the package from the other party and slowly put the knife into its sheath.
The man asked tentatively: "Third Master, can I leave then?"
"get out."
"Hey, I'm leaving, I'm leaving."
The man crouched and turned back three times with each step. Only after he was sure that Ji Longcheng and the others would not harm him, he greased the soles of his feet and quickly disappeared into the night.
"Haha, I didn't expect that one day I would make a fortune like this."
Watching the man disappear from sight, Ji Longcheng couldn't help but weigh the package in his hand, with an excited look on his face.
"Cousin, look how much money is in here."
Chen Beijiang couldn't help but rub his hands, his face was excited.
Su Yu was secretly happy. He didn't expect that spying in secret would yield such unexpected gains. It was beyond his expectation and it was an unexpected surprise.
It is estimated that the actions of the three of them today will cast a lifelong shadow on that gentleman.
I finally got an ill-gotten fortune, and before I even put it in my pocket, it has already become someone's wedding dress.
Ji Longcheng said: "Let's get out of here first."
Immediately, the three of them jumped onto the roof of the inn. Ji Longcheng spread out the parcel of windfall money they just received, and then the three of them began to count the belongings inside.
Two ingots are equivalent to fifty taels of official silver.
A pile of broken silver, about fifty taels.
Three ingots and five taels of gold, a jade ring and two jade hairpins.
There are also two Mr. Horns made of mutton-fat jade.
Looking at Mr. Jiao, the three of them could not help but twitch their mouths.
That guy is very proficient in his business, he can even search for this stuff.
I just don't know if someone else was tired of playing and gave him a chance to take advantage of him, or if he was hiding in a hidden corner, but he still found him.
At the same time, the three of them couldn't help but sigh, the rich households in Anyuan County are quite rich.
The gentleman from Liang Shang sneaked in for only a stick of incense, but he got so much property.
Ji Longcheng glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but said with a bad smile: "It seems that the head of this family has many concubines, and now he has more than enough energy but not enough energy."
"Cousin, how do we divide these?" Chen Beijiang couldn't help but ask.
"The total of these jewelry and silver is about five hundred taels. Mr., these two horns are exquisitely made and have been played with many times. They are probably worth six hundred taels."
Ji Longcheng counted the value of these properties, and then said: "One of them will get three hundred taels of silver, and the other two will each get one hundred taels of silver, and Mr. Yijiao. How about this distribution?"
Su Yu took the lead and said: "Then I want three hundred taels of silver."
Chen Beijiang shook his head and refused sternly: "No, I want three hundred taels of silver!"
Ji Longcheng's face twitched and he said: "No, this proposal was made by me. I should choose first. I want three hundred taels of silver!"
Su Yu chuckled evilly and said: "Brother Ji, Brother Chen, you two are in the most romantic places. In the future, you will be prosperous and wealthy, and you will have a group of wives and concubines. It is inevitable that there will be a day when you are full of ambitions but not enough."
"Sir, these two horns will allow the two of you to take concubines in the future without asking for anything from anyone else. Maybe you will have to spend money to ask a craftsman to make a few more horns in this style."
