Zhang He clamped the horse's belly and stepped forward alone.
The scales of the dark iron heavy armor collided, making a clanging sound.
He held the reins with one hand, pulled out a black iron token from his waist with his right hand, and held it high.
"Tiannan Commandery Demon Suppression Bureau handle the case and open the city gate."
The sergeant guarding the gate clearly saw the dark gold cloud patterns on the token, and immediately put away his spear and retreated to both sides.
Su Yu shook the reins, and the black-scaled horse took the lead to step onto the wooden suspension bridge.
Cao Yue and others followed closely.
Passing through the city gate, the noise from the long street rushed towards me.
Both sides of the street were crowded with ragged homeless people, and many shops had their doors and windows closed.
Not far ahead, a group of Demon Suppression Guard wearing black armor came up quickly.
The leading man had a Chinese character face and several scratches on the armor on his chest.
He stopped in front of the Su Yu horse, raised his hands and saluted.
"My humble job Yu County Demon Suppression Bureau is all head Chen Sheng, I have met you all."
Su Yu turned over and dismounted, throwing the reins to the guard on the side.
"Yu County Demon Suppression Bureau Where are the others?"
Chen Sheng put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.
"The water monster is making such a big fuss that Lord Baihu mobilized 90% of the manpower in the department to set up defenses along the Changyun River coast. There are only a dozen of us left in the city."
Chen Sheng glanced at the horses behind Su Yu, and his eyes stopped on the unconscious man on Zhang He's horse.
"Who is this?"
Su Yu turned his head too far.
Zhang He walked over, grabbed Luo Ming's collar with one hand, and dragged him off the horse.
Luo Ming's broken right arm hit the bluestone floor, and the severe pain instantly woke him up from his coma.
He screamed half-heartedly before being stepped on by Zhang He on his back and pushed into the muddy water.
"Flying Fish Gang's military advisor, Luo Ming." Cao Yue's long sword with its scabbard attached was pointed at Luo Ming's head.
"According to his explanation, the water monsters in the Yunchang River caused trouble, and it was their Flying Fish Gang people who disguised themselves in fish skins in order to monopolize the waterways and make money."
Chen Sheng's facial muscles twitched twice.
"Pretend?"
Chen Sheng raised his voice twice and grasped the handle of the knife with his palm.
"This is impossible! The night before yesterday, I personally led a team to patrol Shallow Water Bay. A total of three huge water monsters broke through the defense line and killed four of our brothers."
"That strong Yao Qi and the force of the bite can never be faked by someone!"
Su Yu turned around and glanced between Chen Sheng and Luo Ming.
Chen Sheng said there was a real demon, but Luo Ming said it was all fake.
Real demons are rioting and seeking wealth behind closed doors.
Su Yu withdrew his gaze and gave the order directly.
"Zhang He, take him to the main street and let him say what he just said again in front of the Yu County people."
"Yes!"
Zhang He picked up Luo Ming and walked towards the crossroads with the densest flow of people.
Cao Yue follows behind.
Chen Sheng stood there and opened his mouth, then swallowed it back and followed silently.
Yu County intersection.
This is the most spacious place in the city, packed with stranded merchants, fleeing fishermen and city residents.
Zhang He walked to the towering notice board and threw Luo Ming on the stone steps.
Su Yu pulled out half of the black gold long knife, and the blade flashed dark red Sha Qi in the sun.
"Say."
Luo Ming was shaking all over, and blood was still oozing from the broken bone of his right arm.
He looked at the dense crowd around him, and then at the long knife in Su Yu's hand.
"It was us Flying Fish Gang who did it." Luo Ming knelt on the stone steps and shouted at the top of his lungs.
The noisy surroundings suddenly stopped.
"There are no groups of water monsters... the gang leader sent people to wear fish skins and scuttled foreign merchant ships in the deep water area. Yao Qi was painted with the viscera of dead monsters."
"As long as everyone dares not go into the water, they can only buy our Flying Fish Gang and Flying Fish Token. If you don't pay, we will pierce the boat underwater."
Luo Ming's voice echoed over the street.
A crossroads with thousands of people exploded in an instant.
"Beasts! My father's cargo ship was scuttled by you!"
"My brother was fishing on the river, but his body was not found. It turns out it was you bastards who did it!"
"Kill him!"
A dark-skinned fisherman grabbed a boning knife from the butcher's cutting board nearby and rushed out of the crowd with red eyes.
The surrounding refugees and traders went completely crazy.
Dozens of people, waving poles, stones and wooden sticks, rushed towards Luo Ming on the stone steps.
Luo Ming desperately shrinks back.
Zhang He pulled out the standard long knife from his waist, swung the blade horizontally, and swept away several refugees who were rushing towards him.
"Demon Suppression Bureau is handling the case, who dares to tamper!"
Cao Yue pulled out the long sword, Sword Qi drew a deep mark on the bluestone, and forced the angry crowd back.
Su Yu looked around with sharp eyes, and Flying Fish Gang's skin was completely peeled off.
Amid the public outrage, even the Yu County magistrate did not dare to protect Flying Fish Gang anymore.
"Take him to the Demon Suppression Bureau prison and keep him under strict supervision." Su Yu turned to Chen Sheng and said.
"Constable Chen, you personally lead people to guard him. If he dies, I will take it from you."
Chen Sheng clasped his fists and lowered his head.
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
At this time, the crowd is outside.
Several men wearing gray cloth shorts and bamboo hats exchanged glances with each other, immediately turned around and squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards the city gate.
Su Yu took it all in and did not stop it.
Flying Fish Wharf is less than a hundred miles away from Yu County.
Dozens of huge warships were moored on the water, equipped with heavy machine crossbows.
Inside the tallest three-story wooden building in the center.
Sitting in the main seat was an extremely tall, bald man.
Flying Fish Gang leader, Zheng Tie.
The wine cup made of pure copper was crushed by him, and the wine flowed down between his fingers and onto the carpet.
The skinny old man sitting on the left was playing with two iron walnuts, making a harsh friction sound.
"That trash Luo Ming was actually captured alive by the Demon Suppression Bureau and dumped all our money. I'm afraid Demon Suppression Bureau will send someone here soon."
The three handles on the right slammed on the table.
"What are you afraid of! We have been operating Yunchang River for five years and have thousands of brothers under our control. Anyone who dares to go into the water will be asked to feed the fish!"
Zheng Tie threw the crushed copper lamp on the ground.
"Idiot."
"That's Demon Suppression Guard! And it's an elite sent directly by Tiannan Commandery. The dozen or so Spirit Realm guards around Luo Ming didn't even last for half an hour."
"Demon Suppression Guard is here, at least Late Spirit Realm, or even a master of the Mystic Realm."
The old man stopped holding the iron walnut.
"Gang leader, what should we do now? If the transaction between us and those water monsters under the water is found..."
Zheng Tie turned around, his chest muscles bulging high.
"Give me the order to have all the brothers who have been dispatched withdraw to the pier and seal the water fortress."
"Also, call the Fourth Brother and ask him to go to Yu County and solve Luo Ming!"
"As long as someone dies and there is no evidence, they don't dare do anything to us."
"The gang leader is wise!"
Yu County Demon Suppression Bureau station, sealed interrogation room.
Cao Yue threw an account book on the table.
"This is the file Chen Sheng just handed over. It records all the shipwrecks that occurred in the Changyun River in the past half month."
Su Yu Open the account book.
"Flying Fish Gang The scuttled merchant ships are all concentrated in Shallow Water Bay and the middle channel." Cao Yue stretched out his finger and clicked on a few positions on the account book.
"But these five shipwrecks occurred in the deep water whirlpool area near the downstream. No traces of Flying Fish Gang activity were found, and the concentration of Yao Qi on the bodies was extremely high."
Su Yu Close the account book.
It seems that there are indeed water monsters lurking in the deep water, and they have also reached cooperation with Flying Fish Gang.
"Chen Sheng What's abnormal over there?" Su Yu asked.
Cao Yue shook his head.
"I have been watching Luo Ming personally from the prison, and there are no other abnormalities."
Su Yu stood up and moved his shoulders, and there was a fine popping sound between the bones.
Eight Desolations Demon-Suppressing Qi is running in the body, and dark golden spiritual power surges along the meridians.
As long as you have a knife in your hand, all conspiracies can be chopped to pieces.
"Take a rest for two hours. After dark, we will go meet the Flying Fish Gang leader."
