Chapter 176: Such a Fast Dart (Part 1)
Even in Tianyuan Town, there are occasional demons causing trouble, causing some casualties.
But compared to the daily influx of people, it is still on the rise.
Therefore, the population of Tianyuan Town is constantly expanding.
The reason is also very simple.
With a radius of hundreds of miles, the safest and largest town is Tianyuan Town.
Coupled with the good security, the strength of Yudi Mansion, and the word-of-mouth reputation, Tianyuan Town is almost one of the safest places nearby to live in for a long time.
Under this thriving cloak, there are demons lurking inside, poor people are captured and sold as slaves without anyone knowing about it, and so on.
Fang Yu sighed, the ordinary natives in this game are really hard to mix.
It is a kind of luck to live to old age.
"Ask whose children they are, how they were arrested, and what information they can provide."
After Fang Yu gave some instructions, he turned to Yu Xiguo and asked.
"Where is Mo Lingyu now?"
"I don't know." Yu Xiguo shook his head again.
"As soon as Ronghua Dyeing Workshop was investigated yesterday, she ran away and there was no news."
Ran?
With such a large industry, if you can run a monk, you can also run a temple?
"What about her family?"
"They should all stay in the Mo residence."
That's fine, it's not easy for people with families to run away.
Fang Yu looked at Yu Xiguo and wondered.
"Why don't you run?"
"I'm innocent, my lord! How could I run away! Besides, for this peony dyeing workshop, I invested all my money in it. If I ran away, I would lose everything, and I was counting on it to turn me around."
Oh, the gambler.
Stud's end, hum!
Fang Yu thought to himself, completely forgetting how he got the stud attribute before.
I have asked these slaves, and they were basically taken away with sacks, knocked out, and here they are when they wake up.
"Big, my lord! I want to follow you!"
"Me, me too! I want to practice martial arts!"
Fang Yu was exchanging information with his subordinates when the two young men who were the only slaves suddenly took a step forward.
Fang Yu:? ? ?
Fang Yu had a black question mark on his face.
Brother, I'm not a nanny.
And I can't protect myself, don't you think too highly of me, I'm not a martial arts master.
[Bi Yan: 3/5. 】
[Wei Quan: 4/6. 】
Looking at the blood volume of the two of them again, Fang Yu waved his hand.
"I can't teach it. All my skills are given by Yudi Mansion and the martial arts hall, so I can't spread them out. If you want to practice martial arts, you can find a way to enter Yudi Mansion, and someone will guide you to get started."
Do you want to practice martial arts? Enter the foolish place first.
Do you want to enter the foolish mansion? Have the ability first!
This is an endless loop, so things like martial arts came into being and became the lubricant in the middle.
As for martial arts, you need money to support it.
So at the beginning of martial arts practice, it is really important to have someone to help you lead the way.
Without Li Qianxuan's kindness, Fang Yu doesn't know where he is now, how can he be so smooth, and climb up step by step.
For example, Chen Cangwen next to him, brought by rude Qianxuan, at this age, is probably in the same situation as Wang Er's gangster.
Speaking of which, how does this guy feel to people? It's a bit weird, and there are players rushing.
Forget it, it doesn't matter.
Under the disappointed expressions of the two teenagers, Fang Yu led the people out of the outer secret room.
Mo Lingyu's Mo residence needs to be investigated.
If you can't find it, immediately turn around and check the remnants of the [Xingji Gang] given by Lin Wu.
After all, Mo Lingyu is cooperating with the [Star Collection Gang], Mo Lingyu can't find it, and the remnants of the [Star Collection Gang] are still there, maybe they can get some information.
Now it is no longer as simple as finding the missing big brother.
If you guessed right.
The number of monsters that can be involved in the slave trade line is not a small number, and it is a major case that is enough to mobilize the upper-level forces of the Yudi Mansion.
"It always feels a little dangerous."
"It doesn't matter, let's go to Peony Dyeing Workshop first, and check the hidden doors and secret rooms that Yuxiguo knows about first."
"If you can't find Big Brother like this, then make another plan."
Fang Yu had a plan in mind, and waited out of the secret room.
"grown ups!"
"grown ups!"
Those who are waiting outside salute immediately.
Fang Yu nodded slightly.
"I found a few slaves inside, arranged for two people to take care of them, and the others continued to follow me."
"yes!"
This is probably what it feels like.
Looking at these obedient subordinates, Fang Yu felt pretty good.
After Yu Xiguo and others came out of the secret room, Fang Yu said.
"Master Yu, lead the way."
Yu Xiguo said with a bitter face: "My lord, do I count this as a crime or meritorious service?"
Fang Yu squinted at him.
"Are you guilty?"
Yu Xiguo's expression brightened immediately.
"Thank you, my lord!"
no thanks no thanks.
I'm just asking.
I have no right to keep you safe.
Besides, if you are really innocent and did not participate in it, naturally no one will trouble you.
For now, first stabilize this Yuxi country and lead the way for yourself first.
The team set off again.
This time it was Yuxiguo who led the way.
He walked quickly and enthusiastically, and he was familiar with the peony setting off. His enthusiastic appearance gave people a weird feeling of "the prince is walking here".
The others heard what Fang Yu said, but they didn't express anything.
In their view, this is an ordinary slave trade incident.
The Peony Dyeing Workshop was not clean, and it was very common for the stewards to expose their crimes and make meritorious deeds.
It mainly depends on whether the executive team leader is willing to give him this opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.
There is a lot of flexibility inside, which belongs to the team leader's words.
After all, the post-event report was submitted by the team leader. Unless there was a big mistake or the deviation was too far from the facts, the higher-ups would not investigate it in detail.
It was enough to break the case and destroy a slave trade den.
The people below can naturally provide some evidence, proving that the team leader scoops up people, using public services for personal gain, and enriching their own pockets.
But... who wants to do such a thankless task.
Not to mention, since Diao Deyi wants to protect someone, those who know the scene will usually get some benefits, otherwise how to make the insider shut up obediently?
In fact, however, all of them underestimated this matter.
This is not sweeping up the slave trade dens, but discovering the blood supply warehouse of demons.
This is the advantage brought by the information gap.
Fang Yu was lurking on the side of the monster, and the Red Moon Demon had mentioned the Peony Dyeing Workshop, which meant that this place must have had an affair with the monster.
Coupled with the matter of slave dens, associations will naturally begin.
When Fang Yu thought of this, the secret door of the second secret room arrived.
This is a study room in the attic. Yu Xiguo moved the books a few times, the walls changed, the stone door opened, and a staircase that spread downwards was revealed in front of everyone.
This secret room is hidden so deep, you know it?
Facing Fang Yu's suspicious gaze, Yu Xiguo smiled awkwardly.
"Working with the Mo family, you have to be careful. I swear, I have never been in! It has nothing to do with this matter!"
Just swear it.
Fang Yu rolled his eyes slightly, not believing a word of this nonsense.
Let Chen Cangwen and others stay outside, and lead the team down.
After a while, Fang Yu came out of the secret room with an ugly expression on his face.
Behind him, there were two more demented girls in tattered clothes, with a dull expression and a trance.
"What's wrong?" Chen Cangwen asked strangely without any sense of boundaries.
"There are several corpses down there."
Fang Yu didn't elaborate.
But just such a sentence, you can roughly think about what is going on next.
Chen Cangwen smacked his lips, a little unconcerned.
It's just a few slaves who died, but didn't they save two?
Yu Xiguo felt Fang Yu's emotional changes, and accompanied him nervously.
"My lord, I really don't know. If I knew, would I be able to kill Mo Lingyu? Of course I can't!"
Fang Yu stopped and gave him a cold look.
"The next secret room, lead the way."
"Yes Yes!"
Yu Xiguo quickly bowed his head in response.
In terms of strength, he is above the ordinary ten households.
But in terms of power and status, he didn't even have the right to raise his head in front of these officials of the Yudi Mansion.
It's not that Fang Yu has never seen a corpse.
It's just that the corpse was abused like that, which he didn't expect.
It is already strange that these slaves were not transferred in time.
It is even more strange that traces of abuse can still be left in the secret room.
It's like having a split personality. While trying to evacuate, they also want to leave a hole for the slaves, and even carry out torture and killing to vent their anger, as if they are waiting to be discovered.
That's right, judging from the traces of the corpses, these slaves were killed between last night and this morning.
From the current point of view, there are no traces of demons here.
But traces of the slave trade are everywhere.
Could it be... Are they planning to use the eye-catching point of slave trade to cover up the traces of demon management?
Fang Yu frowned slightly, feeling that his train of thought was a little bit right, but also a little bit wrong.
"My lord, here we are. This is the last secret room as far as I know."
Open the secret room and enter it.
Soon, Fang Yu came out shaking his head.
This secret room is more thorough, everyone is dead, and there is no one alive.
It's cruel enough.
Now that Fang Yu is basically sure, then Mo Lingyu should know that her three secret rooms have been discovered by Yu Xiguo.
These three secret rooms, there is a faint desire to make them for others to see.
Fang Yu looked at Yu Xiguo, who lowered his head nervously and said helplessly.
"My lord, it's gone, it's really gone. I only know about those three secret rooms. Then Mo Lingyu is very vigilant and has never trusted me."
It seems that we still have to start the investigation from Mo Lingyu.
As for the whereabouts of the eldest brother, there is no information at all.
The only good news is that there is no sign of the elder brother among those corpses.
Fang Yu had known about the elder brother's appearance before, so he could recognize him at a glance, but after a few more glances, it would be no problem to recognize the corpse.
Now that there is no familiar face in the body, it means that the eldest brother did not die in the Peony Dyeing Workshop, most likely... he was sold as a low-quality slave, and he did not know that he was sold to that monster as rations.
It's not that Fang Yu likes to speculate on the worst, but based on the currently known intelligence information, this possibility is indeed the greatest.
He wouldn't tell the second sister about this, unless the body of the elder brother was really found, otherwise it would be better to forget it as missing and give the second sister some hope.
"If my lord still wants to investigate, I can provide a few suspicious places."
As if he was afraid that he would be useless, and that the previous agreement to commit crimes and meritorious deeds would be invalidated, Yu Xiguo hurriedly came up and said in a low voice.
Good guy, lead the way to the end.
So dedicated.
"Okay, you..."
boom! !
Before Fang Yu finished speaking, there was a sudden explosion not far away.
Everyone was taken aback, and all looked in the direction of the source of the sound.
Fang Yu frowned slightly.
That direction seems to be...
"The main entrance! The location of the entrance and exit of the main entrance of Peony Dyeing Workshop!" Yuxiguo next to him affirmed.
Fang Yu was puzzled.
What's the meaning?
Someone is making trouble?
This is the case that the Yudi Prefecture is handling. Anyone who dares to make trouble will die?
Fang Yu immediately thought that there were only two possibilities.
First, the lurking monsters exposed their real bodies and killed them.
Second, Mo Lingyu came back with someone to kill.
No matter what it is, as the leader of the team, he must lead the team to have a look immediately.
Fortunately, there are men nearby to help him lead the horse.
Immediately, Fang Yu mounted his horse directly.
"drive!"
As soon as he flattered, Fang Yu headed for the main entrance.
The rest of the people looked at each other and followed.
...
Peony Dyeing Workshop, the main entrance.
"who!"
"Bold! Who dares to make trouble when the Yudi Prefecture handles the case!"
As the door exploded in pieces, sawdust flew in the air, and a group of men in black standing at the door caught everyone's eyes.
Li Qianxuan was taken aback for a moment.
Wearing night clothes in broad daylight, what the hell is causing trouble!
For a moment, Li Qianxuan's thoughts were like lightning.
His reaction has never been slow, and his ability has never been bad.
It's just that he was busy building forces and recruiting manpower, which slowed down the progress of martial arts.
His own ability, among the ten households, has always been considered a good one.
"Who needs to wear night clothes in broad daylight?"
"Kicking open the door, the menacing approach shows that the things to be done are not trivial, and swords and swords are indispensable."
"Knowing that I'm waiting for people from the Yudi Mansion to interrogate, how dare you act like this..."
"These men in black, could they be... people from Peony Dyeing Workshop!?"
A move in my heart.
Li Qianxuan, making a quick decision, grabbed the butler of the dyeing workshop next to him, and at the same time pushed the butler to the ground, he drew his sword and put it on the butler's neck.
Pressing the sword on the butler's neck with one hand, while tilting his head to look at the people at the door, he sternly shouted.
"Stop all of them!"
"Whoever dares to take a step, the housekeeper of your peony dyeing workshop will be killed!"
Butler Yu of the dyeing workshop is an elderly man.
He had long been frightened by Li Qianxuan's formation, his hands and feet were trembling, and he didn't dare to move rashly.
What made him even more incomprehensible was why Li Qianxuan could blame this matter on their Peony Dyeing Workshop.
He didn't know the men in black who suddenly broke the door and wanted to break in. He didn't know who they were. What's the use of threatening me!
Butler Yu panicked, frightened, and trembling.
But what made him even more desperate was that the group of men in black looked at each other suspiciously, as if looking at each other, their faces full of doubts.
Then, with a big hand waved by the man in black, they all rushed in without hesitation.
Li Qianxuan's expression changed, and he picked up the housekeeper.
"wait……"
Before he could speak, someone in the man in black suddenly shook his hand.
Whoosh—
The sound of howling piercing through the air instantly interrupted Li Qianxuan's words.
He didn't even have time to move, and before the expression on his face changed, his arm suddenly trembled.
Bark! !
The dart-like sharp hidden weapon has already pierced Butler Yu's forehead.
Steward Yu's eyes widened, blood overflowed from his forehead, the corpse twitched twice, and lost its breath.
