Daming King of Punishment

"Yes! It seems that he knows this very well in his heart!" Song Wuya couldn't help but nodded.

In this matter, Fengshengzhuang is really unreasonable.

"This Fengsheng Village still needs to be thoroughly investigated!" Song Wuya looked up at the county magistrate, "I wonder if the county magistrate knows anything about this Fengsheng Village?"

"That's natural! Fengshengzhuang is a wealthy local family, and there is a plaque proposed by the former emperor. It is even stronger than the county magistrate, Xiaguan! Sir, you have also seen it. The two of them met Ben The officials don't kneel at all." The county magistrate showed embarrassment on his face, and these words reminded him of the scene just now.

Fortunately, Song Wuya didn't continue to haggle with him on this matter, he just nodded and asked: "Then what do they do on weekdays! What do they do for a living? Also, they live at the foot of the Red Mountain. Is there any connection between the bandits on the mountain?"

"This... Your Excellency suspects that Fengshengzhuang is in collusion with Hongshan bandits?" The county magistrate understood Song Wuya's meaning and was also very surprised. "But why do they do this? They have a wealth of wealth left by their ancestors, and they don't have to worry about food or clothing. There's no need to leave such a stain on themselves, right?"

"That's not necessarily true! There are so many people in the world, what kind of people are there? It's hard to say what kind of things they will do." Bai Zhuo disagreed with the county magistrate's words, and directly retorted: "Look at what they are doing now. Isn’t it just taking advantage of the fire to rob by buying the shops sold by others at a low price? Why can’t they do the trick of colluding with thieves?”

The county magistrate was at a loss for words for a while, not knowing how to answer.

What Song Wuya was worried about was that this Fengsheng Village was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.Although there were not many bandits in Hongshan, they used some means to harass Fengshengzhuang from time to time, and over time, it would not be a problem to take it down.But Fengsheng Village is still here, which makes Song Wuya suspicious.

"Leaving aside these things for the time being, does the magistrate have a topographic map of the Red Mountain?" Song Wuya had almost asked what he should have asked, and the result he got was satisfactory. His current goal was still on the Red Mountain.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The county magistrate, who was being embarrassed by Bai Zhuo's words, immediately responded repeatedly as if he was being amnesty, and turned to get the topographic map of Hongshan.

Not long after, the topographic map of Hongshan was placed on the table.

"Look, my lord, there is a main mountain in this Red Mountain, which is extremely tall and straight, and it is incompatible with the surrounding mountains. It is a dangerous place. Those bandits are hiding in the belly of the mountain. If you want to attack, you must go up a mountain road that has been opened here. It is precisely because of this that although the number of encirclement and suppression has increased in the following times, it is still not aligned." The county magistrate pointed to the map to introduce the situation to Song Wuya, and at the same time explained the reasons at that time.

Song Wuya nodded. If this place is really as the county magistrate said, it is indeed a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"It seems that Brother Bai's proposal can still be considered, this place must use fire attack!" Song Wuya took a deep breath, and had to say that what Bai Zhuo said earlier might be the only way to do so.

"My lord, you must not! If you burn the mountain, it will cause a fire that cannot be extinguished, and it will be the people who will suffer. Besides, in this red mountain, the flowers, plants, trees, spirits, birds and animals will also suffer! In this way, the result can be imagined Ah!" The county magistrate tried his best to prevent Song Wuya from doing this.

Song Wuya has also considered this point, as the saying goes, relying on mountains to eat mountains depends on seas to eat seas, the people here may have a lot of dependence on this Red Mountain.And the county magistrate was right, if the fire is out of control, it may cause a huge disaster in the end.

"Master County Magistrate, don't panic. My so-called fire attack is different from Master Bai. We only need to light a few piles of fire and smoke them with smoke and fire, and we will be able to drive them out of the mountain." Song Wuya is not like setting fire to a mountain. , as long as those thieves and bandits are forced out of the mountainside, they can be wiped out by then.

After he said this method, the county magistrate nodded in relief.

"My lord's ingenious plan will surely wipe out those bandits." The county magistrate was pleased to flatter Song Wuya at this moment.

Song Wuya nodded, and then said: "Now that there is a solution, you can urge the imperial court to send people again! When the time comes to wipe out all these bandits, the local people will be able to return to peace."

"Yes! I will report this matter to the imperial court right now." The county magistrate showed surprise on his face, and he was about to start to deal with this matter immediately.

Song Wuya stopped him.

"Your magistrate, don't worry, it's not too late to do this matter later. Now I have one more thing to discuss with the magistrate. Among the people in and outside the city, is there any strange person? Those who come to live here from other places and have a black ghost claw imprint on their chests!"

Chapter 353 reasoning

"The black ghost claw mark?" The county magistrate frowned, looking at Song Wuya with a puzzled expression.

Just his expression at the moment told Song Wuya that he didn't know about it.Reluctantly, Song Wuya frowned and said, "Forget it! It's normal if you don't know this. Now that something like this happens in the city, it will definitely cause panic in other businesses. I think it's better to strengthen precautions in the city. There are more handles at the city gate. If you encounter suspicious people, arrest them immediately!"

"This..." The county magistrate showed embarrassment again, "I'm afraid this will disappoint you, my lord!"

"What? Is there any difficulty here?" Song Wuya's face suddenly darkened, looking at the county magistrate and waiting for him to give him an explanation.

"The thieves and bandits in Hongshan outside the city have long been famous for their viciousness, and the officers and soldiers of the city defense did not dare to provoke them rashly. There have been such incidents before, those bandits showed their feet and were intercepted by the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city, but they immediately They ran away. At first, the officers and soldiers of the city defense were very unhappy when they were allowed to escape, but who knew that on the second night, the entire family of the officers and soldiers who intercepted them were massacred at home. Your Excellency Say something like this happened, who else would dare to stop them?"

The county magistrate told the truth, but the truth is outrageous.The faces of Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo also turned extremely ugly at this moment. They knew the arrogance of these bandits, but they didn't expect them to be so arrogant.Not to mention openly confronting the imperial court, but even massacring the family of the officers and soldiers who blocked them because they were blocked from entering the city, this is really arrogant.

"Brother Wu Ya, these bastards must teach them a lesson! Otherwise, they won't know how many eyes Lord Ma has!" Bai Zhuo was furious, and immediately proposed to Song Wuya. "Let's give him some means first, let him restrain himself."

Song Wuya shook his head: "Now is not the time to act. The enemy is strong but we are weak, and the enemy is dark but we are clear. All this is very unfavorable to us. Now we can only stand still and wait for the best opportunity."

"But..." Bai Zhuo was still furious. He knew that these villains were extremely vicious and had brought great harm to the people, but he could only watch helplessly. How could he suppress the anger in his heart.

"Okay, Brother Bai, it's better not to say a few words like this." Song Wuya ignored Bai Zhuo's anger, and in his opinion, Bai Zhuo really let him down too much.He has said the same thing many times, but every time Bai Zhuo is swayed by his emotions. "The important thing now is not how to give these thieves a bad start. Either don't do it, or do it and completely eradicate them! What we need now is to wait. Once the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are dispatched, a reasonable plan will be formulated at that time. We can annihilate them all at once!"

Song Wuya's words made Bai Zhuo fall into silence, the matter in front of him was quite difficult.Song Wuya didn't have any perfect solution. What he was most concerned about now was the existence of the Wuliang Sect. He didn't know where they were, but once the Wuliang Cult joined in, things would become more complicated.

"Then we have to wait until the year of the monkey!" Bai Zhuo still felt uncomfortable, so he muttered softly.

Song Wuya heard Bai Zhuo's complaint, but he just ignored it.

"We still have to start with Fengshengzhuang. Whether this Fengshengzhuang is related to the bandits in Hongshan has to be investigated clearly." Song Wuya looked at the county magistrate, implying that he was telling him this matter Things still need him to deal with.

The county magistrate nodded: "My lord's orders have been written down!"

"Okay! That's all for today, let's go back for now."

The tea was finished, and Song Wuya had already told the county magistrate what he needed to say, as for other things, he had to proceed step by step.

Leaving the county office and walking to the street, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo went directly to the inn.On the way back, Song Wuya couldn't help but look at the surrounding shops.All these shops are open well, and none of them have closed their doors. It can be seen that those shops that have become sellers after giving birth are still operating in the hands of Fengshengzhuang.

The bustling situation in this small town is definitely not a place where everyone wants to escape.

"If this Fengsheng Village has something to do with the bandits in the Red Castle, why did Wuliangjiao send weapons to the Red Castle and say they want to use these weapons to take down Fengsheng Village?" Song Wuya couldn't figure this out.He turned his head to look at Bai Zhuo at the side, wanting to hear Bai Zhuo's opinion.

Bai Zhuo was sulking right now, maybe it was because Song Wuya rejected his proposed relationship just now.

Seeing him turn his head to look at him at this time, Bai Zhuo was slightly taken aback: "Why are you looking at me?"

Song Wuya almost lost his temper. Seeing the situation, Bai Zhuo didn't even hear what he said just now.

He took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Brother Bai, what are you doing?"

"What's wrong? What did you say just now?" Bai Zhuo really didn't listen at all, and asked Song Wuya.

In desperation, Song Wuya had no choice but to repeat what he said just now, and looked at Bai Zhuo with strange eyes.

After hearing this, Bai Zhuo immediately began to ponder, completely oblivious to Song Wuya's strange look at him.

"Perhaps Fengshengzhuang has nothing to do with those bandits in Hongshan at all, it's just that we are thinking too much. Maybe the relationship between Fengshengzhuang and Hongshan bandits is just as the county magistrate said. Fengshengzhuang is nothing more than taking advantage of This kind of opportunity is nothing more than a windfall, and the Hongshan bandits did not attack Fengshengzhuang because they cared about the guardian of Fengshengzhuang."

"But if someone dropped money on the ground, would you choose to pick up the more money or the less money first?" Song Wuya asked Bai Zhuo such a question.

Bai Zhuo thought about it for a while and immediately said: "Of course I picked it up together, can I miss it?"

Song Wuya could only laugh dryly when he heard such an answer, Bai Zhuo's answer was not wrong at all.But it also clarified what Song Wuya meant, just like the question Song Wuya said.If there are two buns instead, when you are very hungry, would you choose to eat the big one or the small one first?Needless to say, it is natural to eat the big ones first.

And the Hongshan Bandit incident is just such a situation, they are a group of greedy people, risking great danger to ask for money from these shops.But obviously there is a huge amount of wealth in front of their eyes, why don't they choose to take Fengshengzhuang directly and get full, instead of choosing such a time-consuming and labor-intensive petty profit?

"That's right! Brother Wu Ya!"

When Song Wuya was thinking about this question in his heart, Bai Zhuo exclaimed: "We missed a key piece of information!"
