Heishan City is one hundred and thirty miles away from the county seat. It is connected to the counties of Shunde Prefecture and should be an important transportation area. However, it has deep mountains and dense forests. Many of them are tangled and intertwined with refugees and gangsters, making it chaotic.
Many years ago, there was a large-scale bandit suppression in Qingzhou, and there was a period of peace. However, after that, there were still refugees and bandits gathering.
As time goes by, no one cares about it.
When he arrived, he was on his way without stopping. When he saw the Black Mountain, Wang Wu was not in a hurry and asked a group of people to collect dry firewood and set up a bonfire.
Beside the campfire, Wang Wu held a map in his hand and said nothing. Several detectives who came to the area seven days ago to inquire about the situation reported to him in low voices.
"When these unscrupulous people heard that we were here to suppress bandits, they all avoided us out of fear. They really gained nothing."
"These unscrupulous people seem to be deliberately protecting the bandits. In the past two days, bandits came to us and injured several brothers."
"Sir, if you want to suppress the bandits, you must first arrest the clan leaders in these villages under Black Mountain!"
…
The expressions of several of the detectives were not very good, and their words were quite annoyed and resentful.
"I asked you to go up the mountain to find a way, but you are afraid to go forward, but instead put the responsibility on the villagers?"
Putting down the map, Wang Wu sneered:
"We rely on mountains and rivers to eat and drink. These villagers live under the Black Mountains and don't respect the bandits. Is it possible to look at your expressions?"
Wang Wu's words were like daggers, which made several policemen look extremely ugly. They wanted to refute, but they were speechless.
"Qingzhou's party, Wang Fobao's losses are not small, the elite are gone, it's just you guys with nothing but nothing, no wonder nothing can be done!"
Wang Wu glanced at them with cold eyes, and the several detectives remained silent. They felt as if they were being stared at by a tiger, and their bodies could not stop trembling.
After reprimanding a few policemen, Wang Wu coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the silent warriors sitting around several campfires.
Regardless of whether these people are willing or not, at least they are all good hands with a new blood. It is not a problem to use one against ten. If used properly, it may not be possible to wipe out the banditry in the mountain.
It may not be impossible to eradicate the influence of the Lian Sheng Cult.
"I know that you all come here with the intention of doing nothing but doing your best. There may not be many who really want to suppress the bandits."
Wang Wu said in a deep voice:
"But if you all have this mentality, it will be more dangerous than ever before leaving the city this time!"
Everyone looked at him coldly, as silently as when he arrived, showing no interest.
"good!"
A hoarse voice sounded, and a thin middle-aged man threw away the barbecue and sneered:
"With fifty silver coins, you want us to risk our lives? Our lives are not that cheap!"
Wang Wu looked at him coldly, and the man looked at each other with his head raised.
Yang Yu recognized that this man's name was 'Tan Hong', and he was the chief disciple of the Inner City Tiger Martial Arts Hall. It was said that he had changed his blood four or five years ago, and his reputation was very good.
Along the way, apart from Wang Wu, he paid the most attention to this person.
"well said!"
"Exactly this!"
When someone steps forward, a group of people will naturally respond, and the atmosphere becomes intense.
Thirty taels of silver can probably buy a budding girl, fifty taels of silver is enough to buy a dozen of them.
But their lives are far from that mean!
"Wang Captou, I've heard of your name, but I don't think you can make us fight for our lives just because of your words!"
Tan Hong said loudly:
"If you are willing to listen to that Sanchi Liu, do as you wish! But we will not let you do whatever you want!"
With the support of everyone, Tan Hong put aside his slight fear of Wang Wu and bravely looked at him.
However, contrary to his expectation, Wang Wu did not become angry. Instead, he looked away and scanned the crowd:
"Everyone, do you mean this too?"
"good!"
"Exactly what it means!"
"Wang Captou, there are so many of you, why do you have to push me so hard? Just turn a blind eye or close a blind eye. It's rare for you to be confused!"
…
Seeing that Wang Wu seemed to have regressed, the others also let go of their scruples. Except for Yang Yu and a few others, most people agreed.
"good."
Wang Wu nodded. Everyone thought he would be angry and disappointed, but they didn't expect him to suddenly sneer:
"Wang wanted to let you all go, but it's a pity..."
"Um?"
Tan Hong's heart thumped: "What's the pity?"
"It's a pity that Mr. Liu doesn't want to let you go!"
Wang Wu’s tone was calm and he didn’t know whether he was happy or angry:
"Counting the time, the city gate should be closed by now!"
"What?!"
Tan Hong's eyes widened with anger, and the others suddenly stood up, looking shocked and angry: "This is impossible!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Even if Liu Wenpeng is the county magistrate, how dare he harm us like this?"
Some people shook their heads with disbelief on their faces.
"Don't believe it?"
Yang Yu sighed in his heart. Although he had expected it, he was still shocked by Liu Wenpeng's ruthlessness. He stood up and spoke:
"Everyone, have you ever seen any of us warriors from several major families in the inner city?"
"What?"
Tan Hong suddenly woke up and looked around, his heart suddenly became cold.
No.
not a single one!
"So cruel, so cruel."
Others also came back to their senses, either angry or surprised. Some people turned blue and gritted their teeth: "What a Liu Wenpeng..."
"I'm going to kill him!"
Some people shouted angrily, but received no response.
Killing an official and conspiring to commit rebellion is a major crime against the nine clans. How could anyone present have the courage to do so?
"This Liu Wenpeng..."
Yang Yu felt a chill in his heart.
Because he thought of another reason for picking them.
This group of people, apart from not coming from a few families in the inner city, have one thing in common.
That is, everyone has a family.
Maybe there is a high-ranking mother, or there are Yaya toddlers...
In other words, the dozen or so people here at the moment are the best known Blood Exchange Realm warriors in Black Mountain City.
"what to do?"
An atmosphere of anxiety and panic spread.
After a long time, Tan Hong raised his head, looked at Wang Wu, and said harshly:
"Sir, I'm not afraid of death, but I can't die..."
"Hahaha!"
Wang Wu suddenly laughed loudly.
"Why are you laughing, sir?"
Some people roared in grief, anger and frustration.
"Are some small things worth worrying about so much?"
Wang Wu stopped laughing, looked at everyone one by one, and finally looked at Tan Hong:
"You don't want to sacrifice your life for Liu Wenpeng. Are you going to let someone like Wang have no eggs and let others manipulate you?"
Everyone was stunned.
"How could I risk my life for a piece of shit like Liu Wenpeng? To be honest, although Wang is a head catcher, he is not serving the local county magistrate."
Wang Wu clasped his hands behind his back and looked proud:
"But six doors!"
"Six doors?!"
Everyone was startled, and Yang Yu's heart also moved.
Six Doors is a behemoth that is no less than that of Jinyiwei, and its reputation is even more resounding.
"In this campaign against bandits, if Liu Wenpeng doesn't give you food and salary, Six Doors will give you! If Liu Wenpeng doesn't give you pension, Six Doors will give you!"
"Liu Wenpeng won't report it, but the six gates will give you merit!"
Wang Wu responded loudly and resoundingly:
"If you make false claims, Mr. Wang would be willing to be struck by thunder from heaven!"
Six doors.
Everyone felt their hearts swaying when they heard this. Although they were still worried, their panic gradually dissipated.
"I am willing to listen to your orders!"
Tan Hong was silent for a moment, folded his hands into fists, and bowed.
The rest of the people also responded: "I am willing to listen to your instructions."
"This king is more than just a rough guy."
Yang Yu was greatly impressed when he saw it.
Wang Wu didn't say much, but he got to the point. In a few words, he not only dispelled everyone's resistance, but also eliminated their hidden worries.
If it was just a scattered army before, now it has the potential to be integrated into a new one.
"good!"
Wang Wu stepped on it, and the strong wind extinguished the bonfire.
He waved his hand, holding the long knife in his hand, pointing at the dark mountains:
