Chapter 44: Hit Me Hard
"The great bandit Zhang Nan is really rich!"
One man and one sword destroyed the huge Zhangnan bandit. Shen Yu searched the place to his heart's content. He knew they were rich, but he didn't expect them to be so rich. Shen Yu not only found a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry here, but also found the Zhangnan bandit's granary and even their arsenal.
There are mountains of grain in the granary and rows of swords in the armory. Such a large amount of grain and military equipment could equip tens of thousands of troops. The ambition of Zhang Nan, the giant bandit, is obvious. This big boss is playing big games.
It was just that the family fortune that the head of the family had worked hard to accumulate for more than 20 years was wiped out by Shen Yu in one day. I don't know if the head of the family would be so angry that he would chop him again if he could see it.
With the help of the storage space he had just obtained, Shen Yu packed away almost everything he liked. There was also a mountain of food that the storage space could not accommodate, so he used the storage space to move it back and forth several times and hid it in a secret place.
Now that refugees were everywhere, these food and grass were their lives. Even if he didn't want the gold, silver and jewelry, he had to find a way to get these food.
As for swords and the like, Shen Yu had no use for them, so he simply did not touch them. These were all evidences, enough to convict Zhang Nan of the crime. What do you want to do with the military supplies used by tens of thousands of troops?
After he had almost cleaned up the place, Shen Yu immediately rode at full speed and rushed to the Tanzhou provincial capital. His target was the police and the black guards here.
The Bumen and the Black Guards both belong to the imperial court. The Bumen usually only take over gang fights and criminals wanted by the imperial court. At the same time, they have considerable friendship with all the major sects and have significant power in both the imperial court and the martial arts world.
Since the Thousand Blood Cult caused such a big stir back then, it was naturally a wanted target for the police.
As for the Black Guards, they are even more mysterious. They not only monitor the various factions in the martial arts world, but also the officials, generals, and nobles in various places. They are also responsible for arresting criminals, etc. Among them, there are countless masters, and they are powerful and feared.
Although these two are violent organizations, they also need to look at their political achievements. After a year, how can you get promoted without any achievements, and how can you have the nerve to ask for funds. If they knew about the Zhangnan bandit, these people would be so excited that they couldn't sleep.
The police and the black guards have bases in every county town, and sometimes they also set up bases in some counties with complicated underworld forces. However, the police and the black guards in the state capital are the center of a state, which is the center that directly commands the power of the entire state.
The reason why Shen Yu ran thousands of miles and arrived at the provincial capital in one breath was because the police and black guards in the general county city were not strong enough to deal with the giant bandit Zhang Nan.
Although Zhangnan Bandits was just a group of thieves, it must be said that the leader was very capable. He dragged so many officials into the water, and even some people in the police station were bribed. He spent twenty years weaving a huge network.
Ordinary people would be beaten to a pulp if faced with such a huge power conflict, and might even be killed to silence them.
However, the police and the Black Guards in the provincial capital are different. The bigger the so-called network of relationships, the more excited they are, which means the greater the final credit.
Especially the Black Guards, they do this job. We are not afraid of trouble, but we are afraid that things are not troublesome. If they are too simple, they are not worth selling.
After finding the location of the capture gate, Shen Yu quietly observed it for a while, took out a few letters from his arms, inserted them on the flying knife and threw them, then ran away, not giving them time to react.
This is the location of the state police station, the police chief who commands the state , and even the gatekeepers are first-class masters. However, Shen Yu had no intention of getting to know him. You know, his current behavior is actually abandoning his post without permission, how could he be discovered?
Shen Yu had a similar experience at the Black Guard's station. He threw a few neatly arranged letters over, and then ran away without even looking at them.
The evidence in the letter was clear, and even Zhangnan's great bandit Shen Yu had helped to solve the problem. If the police and the Black Guards couldn't even handle the follow-up, then their reputation would be in vain.
Soon, these letters were placed in the hands of the commander of the Black Guard State and the chief constable of the police. When these letters were placed together, the eyes of these two people who could shake the whole Tanzhou with just a stomp of their feet almost flashed at the same time.
Great, after being bored for so long, the big case finally comes.
When it comes to the Thousand Blood Sect, both the Bumen and the Black Guards have their own responsibilities. Both sides immediately began to frantically deploy personnel, and the movements were inevitably a bit large, so naturally they noticed each other.
After the two sides discussed it, they realized that the Zhangnan bandits were very powerful, and the Thousand Blood Sect also had countless masters who had to be guarded against. More strength meant more protection, and besides, this was a huge contribution, so it wouldn't hurt to share some of the profits, so the two sides decided to join forces after a brief discussion.
A large number of experts were quickly assembled and rushed to Floating Cloud Mountain. Some of the Black Guards were also withdrawn and dispersed to various places. These people were going to arrest the officials who were in conflict with Zhangnan Jukougou Street.
Compared with the police, the black guards who have the power to see the local officials are the ones who get the biggest share of the profits. What is more satisfying than confiscating a house? If you leak a little bit, you will get rich overnight.
When Shen Yu saw a team of black-clad guards rushing towards Changling County, he knew that this wave was stable. Xu Mufeng, the prefect, had blocked it to the end. Still want to be promoted? You wait for the promotion!
Seeing that everything seemed to be as expected, Shen Yu finally felt relieved and hurried back to Bai'an County. It had been several days since he had gone through all this trouble, so he had to go back and have a good rest. By the way, he arranged for someone to bring back the food he had hidden .
"Tell me, where did your County Magistrate Shen go? Do you know what crime it is to conceal the truth?"
Just after returning to Bai'an County, before entering the county government office, Shen Yu heard a burst of shouting. Immediately following was a barrage of accusations, and the spearhead seemed to be directed at him.
"Zhou Yuan, you are also a county police chief, so don't make the mistake! Let me ask you, is it true that Shen Yu has been accepting bribes, oppressing the good, and wantonly amassing wealth since he took office?"
"Bullshit! My Lord is dedicated to the people and has never oppressed the good people, let alone taken a penny that he shouldn't have! You want to slander my Lord, but forget it!" Shen Yu could tell that the person who answered was Zhou Yuan. This kid really didn't let him down.
"Hmph, Mr. Sun, what do you think?"
"This, this... Your Excellency, County Magistrate Shen did threaten me, asking me to give him gold, silver and jewelry for his own enjoyment!"
"Sun Heling!" This sudden voice made Shen Yu frown slightly. The moment he heard his voice, Shen Yu knew that this spineless guy was probably weak again. He was really a hopeless case.
"Well, I came to Bai'an County to hunt down this notorious thief. Not only did I discover that the county magistrate of Bai'an County was colluding with this notorious thief, I also discovered that this person was corrupt and abused his power to bully others. Everything is too numerous to mention!"
"Zhou Yuan!" That disgusting voice sounded again, but this time it seemed to be a little colder. " As a county police chief, you not only can't distinguish right from wrong, but also shield this corrupt official and you won't even tell the truth!"
"Come here, beat him up, beat him hard, until he is willing to talk!"
