After hearing Xu Guyu's words, Lin Wenhua thought for a moment and felt that something was not right about this group of Jiang bandits. They were just a group of Jiang bandits, and their behavior seemed somewhat like theirs.
Thinking of this, Lin Wenhua asked: "Section Chief, can you tell me about this group of Jiang bandits? I feel that this group of Jiang bandits is a little strange."
"Oh..." Lin Wenhua's words aroused Xu Guyu's interest, and he said: "Then tell me first, what is strange about it?"
Lin Wenhua heard this and explained: "Section Chief, I think the behavior of these Jiang bandits is somewhat similar to ours.
You see, if the Jiang bandit's lair is regarded as our Nanjing headquarters, then the Jiang bandits scattered outside are our field teams.
Moreover, in Guandimiao Village, there are informants of Jiang bandits. I guess there must be many places like this on the Yangtze River, similar to our undercover officers."
Xu Guyu listened and said with a smile: "I had the same idea as you at first, but after learning more about it, I thought it was normal. There are several powerful characters in this group of Jiang bandits. I will tell you one by one.
Say it!
First of all, there is the leader of this group of river bandits, nicknamed Wan Blind Man. He is very skilled in martial arts and marksmanship. He is especially familiar with everything on the water. He is the one who led this group of river bandits.
The second leader of the Jiang Bandit family was nicknamed the Old Scholar. I heard that in the late Qing Dynasty, at a young age, he was considered to be a Jinshi. Unfortunately, the imperial examination was abolished and the Qing Dynasty fell, so what he learned had no use.
Later, something happened to his family, and he was plotted by local bullies to seize all their wealth. The whole family was exiled to a foreign country, and his relatives died one after another. After that, he joined the Jiang bandits alone and became the Jiang bandits' military advisor and second-in-command.
According to the confessions of the two Jiang bandits, this person was the one who planned and promoted the Jiang bandits’ big move two years ago.
The third boss of the Jiang Bandit, nicknamed Sun Laosan, was not very capable. It is said that he took the position of third boss after avenging his family for the old scholar.
The Fourth Leader of the Jiang Bandits is nicknamed Fake Foreigner. He got this nickname because he likes to wear Western-style clothes and a pair of sunglasses. It is said that he was once kidnapped by the Jiang Bandits. There was an incident at home and they were fighting for the family property. He was unwilling to ransom him, so he stayed.
Among the river bandits.
This is a ruthless guy, insidious and vicious. It is said that he has also come here this time. It is very likely that Shen Song encountered this person.
The fifth master of the Jiang Bandit, named Cao Dajiang, has been the fifth master for just over two years. He used to be the leader of the Jiang Bandit, and he was also the guy who was on the line with the three people of Nishino. This person is the one who led the transaction this time.
You have already caught me.
In addition to these five people, there is also a mysterious Sixth Master among the Jiang bandits. It is said that he once saved Wan Xiazi's life and was Wan Xiazi's confidant. More information about this person has not yet been revealed."
After hearing this, Lin Wenhua frowned deeply. There was too little useful information. Not only was there no name, but even a lot of the information was hearsay.
Seeing Lin Wenhua's expression, Xu Guyu said: "Wenhua, this is the information I have now. These two people are not core personnel. If you want more information, you may have to wait for Cao Dajiang to speak.
OK."
Lin Wenhua listened, nodded, and asked: "Section Chief, what are the identities of the two people that Brother Liao and I let go?
This gang of Jiang bandits is so well-organized, will these two people not be able to go back? If so, if I send people to catch them now, it should be too late."
Xu Guyu listened and replied: "You don't have to worry about this. The two people who ran away are one of the informants in the village and the other is the small leader of the Jiang bandits who is also known as the Monkey King. There should be channels to contact these two people."
Other river bandits."
After hearing this, Lin Wenhua nodded and did not ask any more questions. Although he still felt that this group of Jiang bandits was not simple, it was a pity that he could not find any supporting evidence.

At the dock outside a small town, Yin Zhigang's boat slowly docked. Behind them was a wide expanse of water, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Looking at the pier in front of him, Yin Zhigang felt much better and told the people behind him: "Bring your things with you. Let's go in and hide. Remember to hide the boat."
"Yes..." The men behind him responded, and Yin Zhixi jumped off the boat carrying a box. His men also carried the box and continued to disembark.
The group of people were dressed like a young master returning home with his men. Although it attracted a lot of people's attention, not many people found it strange. Obviously, Yin Zhigang's outfit is not that unusual here.
After his men parked the boat, Yin Zhigang led everyone into the town and arrived at a place called Laifu Inn.
"Shopkeeper, I'll take care of your inn."
When the shopkeeper behind the counter heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face and he replied: "No problem, sir, two big foreign bags a day, can you do that, not counting food and drink?"
"Money is not an issue. Are all the rooms in the store vacant?"
"A few guests are checking out in the afternoon. I wonder if the guest officer cares?"
"It's okay, you can wait, but don't pick up guests after that. I like to be close."
"No problem, sir."
Having said this, Yin Zhigang took out a small yellow croaker from his body, put it on the counter, and said: "The accommodation time has not been determined yet. The deposit must be paid in advance. Any excess will be refunded, and any shortage will be compensated."
"No problem, sir. Please come upstairs. We have an upper room." After the shopkeeper put away the small yellow croaker, he immediately warmly entertained the group.
Yin Zhigang gave his subordinates a few instructions and then went upstairs with the shopkeeper. As soon as he entered, the shopkeeper immediately locked the door.
"Fourth Master, has something happened? Is it important?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Zhigang replied: "Don't ask too much, I will handle the matter and it will not affect you. I just need you to take care of my brothers and keep them out of the limelight."
"Yes, I will definitely take good care of my brothers. If Fourth Master needs anything, please give me your instructions."
"Well..." Yin Zhigang nodded and continued: "Let's go, there are still outsiders in the inn, don't stay here for too long."
After Yin Zhigang finished speaking, he put away the boxes he brought and then followed the innkeeper out. After listening to the innkeeper introduce the inn for a while, the two of them separated.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After separation, Yin Zhigang found his subordinates, gathered them together, and said: "Remember, you will call me Fourth Young Master from now on. You are my subordinates."
.
This is our own resting place. When the remaining guests leave, they will be our own, so don't worry.
Try to go out as little as possible. If you need anything, ask the people at the inn to buy it for you or find it for you. Don’t cause trouble. We need to avoid the limelight here for a while."
"yes……"
Seeing this situation, Yin Zhigang nodded and continued: "Okay, you just stay here. I will go out by myself. I have some things to solve. During my absence, you just stay here."
After making arrangements, Yin Zhigang left the room, went back to his room, changed into more ordinary clothes, and left the inn.
Yin Zhigang walked around the town seven times and eight times, and finally knocked on the door of a house.
"Dong dong dong... dong dong... dong dong dong dong..." Yin Zhigang knocked on the door rhythmically. After a while, there was finally movement in the house.
"Here it comes...squeak..." The door opened a crack, revealing half of the face behind the door. When the person inside the door saw that it was Yin Zhigang, he immediately opened the door.
After Yin Zhigang stepped through the door, the person who opened the door immediately closed the door and said respectfully to Yin Zhigang: "Fourth Master, you are here."
Hearing this, Yin Zhigang was a little strange, and secretly asked cautiously: "How did you know I was coming?"
The person who opened the door heard this and explained: "Master Liu just came over. He said you would come here!"
"Oh... Old Sixth is here? Then take me there!" The words of the person who opened the door made Yin Zhigang feel relieved.
"Yes..." The person who opened the door responded, then led Yin Zhigang into the house, stopped outside a side hall, and said, "Fourth Master, Sixth Master is inside."
"Well...you stay here." After Yin Zhigang said that, he opened the door and walked in. Standing in the room was a man under thirty years old. When he saw Yin Zhigang coming, he immediately came up to greet him.
The man is less than 1.7 meters tall. Although he is shorter, he has a strong body, thick arms, and an ordinary face. He smiles slightly and gives people a simple and honest feeling.
"Fourth brother, you have finally arrived. I thought something happened to you again!"
Hearing this, Yin Zhigang smiled and said: "I just arranged for my brother to be delayed for a while, but Liu, how did you know I was here?"
Hearing this, Lao Liu explained: "I received news from the Nanjing spy last night and learned that something went wrong with your transaction.
I heard that a boat escaped, so I thought it must be the boat you modified, Fourth Brother, and it escaped the siege. I knew you were coming down the river, guessed you would be here, so I came and waited."
"Oh?...The news has reached you? You still know it in such detail. Lao Liu, you are getting better and better informed."
"Alas... Fourth brother won the prize. This is not my fault. It was because Lao Xi's pigeons produced another batch of pigeons and they were given to a few pigeons in Nanjing, so I got the news."
"Lao Liu, you can't say that. You didn't do it for Lao Xi, so you must have a share of the credit!"
Hearing this, Lao Liu didn't want to continue to argue, so he said: "Fourth brother, let's not talk about this anymore. Please tell me the specific situation. All I got is some general information."
Yin Zhigang listened, nodded, and told Lao Liu in detail what happened last night.
After explaining the situation, Yin Zhigang continued: "Judging from the other party's behavior last night, it seems that he is not a person in the world, but maybe an official figure."
After hearing this, Lao Liu nodded and said, "That's for sure. Just talking about the searchlight, it's unlikely that the other party was the work of a Jianghu person.
We are not going to do that thing, and even if we do, it will definitely not be used in a place like Nanjing. Moreover, there was such a big commotion last night and no one from the government took action. It must be someone from the officialdom.
"
Yin Zhigang listened, nodded, and said: "Now I just don't know where the problem lies! Is there a ghost among us, or is there something wrong with the person doing the transaction."
