Nightmare Attack

When he heard the words Spring God Lake, the boss's face became even more ugly, and he begged for mercy with a grimace: "Sir, I... I am just a small businessman, and whatever I know is just gossip.

"Don't want to tell me?"

"No, no, I really don't know." The boss waved his hands quickly. He was just thinking about how to send this plague god away as quickly as possible. The people in the Zhennan Hou Mansion didn't dare to provoke him.

The boss looked at the young man in front of him carefully, and made up his mind to close the shop immediately after seeing him off, and go home to avoid the limelight.

"Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't make it difficult for you." Jiang Cheng picked up the pen under the boss's grateful eyes, wrote some words on the white paper on the side, and then handed the pen to the boss.

The boss blinked and said, "Sir, what are you..."

"Sign the pledge, and I'm done with the job." Jiang Cheng gave the boss a reassuring look.

The boss came as close as possible. When he saw the words on the white paper clearly, he was stunned, and then almost cried. The black and white words on the paper read: It has been found that Qian Ji Gubaozhai is a bandit. For the former thief General Guo never forgot about it. After interrogation, shopkeeper Qian confessed to the matter.

His legs were shaking like a sieve, and finally Shopkeeper Qian knelt on the ground with a plop, "Sir, people from the Marquis Mansion must not say stupid things, I am a good person!"

"What? The people in the Hou Mansion are all fools, and you have killed someone?!" Jiang Cheng was shocked, and then he picked up the pen and continued writing on the paper. While writing, he said: "Shopkeeper Qian said, the people in the Hou Mansion They are all idiots. He even killed someone and dumped his body in Spring God Lake... I have to remember these things, because they will depend on them for promotion and wealth.

"Sir, please don't forget it. I said, can't I tell you everything I know?" Shopkeeper Qian stretched out his two chubby hands, grabbed Jiang Cheng's pen, and begged.

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng released his pen in a considerate manner and patted Shopkeeper Qian's hand, "It's great that you had been like this earlier. It would have saved you and me trouble. Look, it hurts our feelings to be in such trouble now."

Jiang Cheng knew he had found the right person as early as when shopkeeper Qian recognized the fragment of armor. Ordinary antique shop owners would not know such details, as well as the patterns on the armor, as well as General Guo's personal soldiers and so on. things.

Shopkeeper Qian stood in front of Jiang Cheng like a prisoner and told him everything he knew.

According to Shopkeeper Qian, people in the Hou Mansion seem to have been paying special attention to Chunshen Lake. In the past few years, fishermen have been missing mysteriously and reported them to the officials. In the end, nothing happened. It made people panic for a while, and everyone was worried. It is said privately that he offended the Water Dragon King at the bottom of the lake and suffered this disaster.

"But...but then, late one night, an old fisherman who had been missing for almost a month suddenly ran back home. This frightened the family. They thought it was a water ghost who had possessed a human body and was looking for a substitute, but After careful inspection, there was no water dripping from this man's body. Although his complexion was poor, his eyes were still clear, but there were signs of being tied up and beaten..."

At this point, Shopkeeper Qian seemed to realize something and suddenly shut up, then looked at Jiang Cheng with a look of belated fear.

Jiang Cheng gave Shopkeeper Qian a look that made you understand, and he leaned back in his chair and said calmly: "It's not the Water Dragon King, but he was kidnapped by people from the Hou Mansion, right?"

Shopkeeper Qian's pupils shrank suddenly, his legs became weak, and he was about to kneel on the ground and kowtow. He was so confused that he accidentally said such a thing. Can he say this?

After all, is there still a way to survive?

But Jiang Cheng waved his hands indifferently, "You are not the only one who knows about this. Many people in the city know it. As long as you don't spread rumors, our Marquis Mansion will not cause trouble for you, but I want to listen to the truth. You should understand."

Shopkeeper Qian stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and nodded vigorously, "Understood, sir, I understand everything, and I promise to tell you everything."

"go on."

"Yes, sir." Shopkeeper Qian brewed his emotions for a moment and lowered his voice: "The old fisherman was shaking all over after returning home and told what happened to him. He was in a secluded place on his way back from fishing late one day. He was captured by a group of people dressed like ordinary people. They then blindfolded him and took him around for a long time. Finally, they came to a mountainside mountain village and imprisoned him. Entered a cave."

"There were many people in the cave, and it was completely dark. When he took a look, he was surprised to find that he knew many of these people. They were all nearby fishermen. It turned out that the so-called missing people were all caught here."

"There are people guarding outside. They don't dare to speak loudly. They can only lower their heads and communicate in low voices. These people's experiences are basically similar to mine. They were all captured. It seems that they encountered bandits."

"But he couldn't figure out what the bandits were doing to catch them. How could these fishermen have the extra money to redeem themselves? Men like them are the backbone of the family. Could it be... could it be that they were roped in to join them?"

"But at this time, a short and stout man with a slight limp in his legs told them in a hoarse voice that these people outside are not bandits, but officers and soldiers, the same officers and soldiers of Luo'an City."

"The short and stocky man said that he had cooked in the barracks before and was familiar with the habits of these soldiers. He had noticed that the people outside got up on time at five o'clock, buried pots and cooked rice, and rested with the sound of bangs at noon. The sentry outside was busy during the day. It is changed every hour. When the people are tired and the horses are tired after three o'clock in the night, it is changed to every half an hour. "

"The long-lasting peace and the ability to maintain such strict military discipline shows that these people are not only officers and soldiers, but also elite troops. We are the elite troops of Luo'an City..."

Shopkeeper Qian didn't dare to say any more when he said this. He kept testing Jiang Cheng's attitude with his peripheral vision. Jiang Cheng nodded thoughtfully, "Then only the Marquis Mansion is eligible for transfer."

"These elite officers and soldiers did not wear official uniforms. They obviously did not want to reveal their identities, and they also created such a grand scene in this mountain. The old fisherman knew with his feet that there was something going on here, and it was a big deal." Shopkeeper Qian continued.

"At this time, someone came over and quietly told him that they were not the first group of people to be arrested. There was a group of people before, who were also fishermen, but they were taken out blindfolded some time ago, and they were never seen again after that. return."

"Every once in a while, someone will be blindfolded and taken out. Soon after, new people will be added one after another. Everyone is used to it."

"In the next few days, the old fisherman couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep. Whenever he dreamed at night, he would be taken out. He had a strange premonition, as if being taken out would be more terrifying than death. "
