Chapter 62 Is there still a need for salvation?
"Sir, we have entered the territory of Sanshui County. It is estimated that we will reach the county seat in half a day's journey!"
"Okay, let's hurry up, or Mr. Chen will really jump up and down!" With a slight smile, Shen Yu immediately took Zhou Yuan away. Behind him was a raging fire and fallen bandits.
The blood had already dyed this mountain stronghold built in a dangerous location red. The deep red that flowed all over the ground was even more dazzling under the firelight.
Since receiving the transfer order, Shen Yu ignored Mr. Chen's repeated urgings, but first settled the refugees from various places and finished the things at hand before setting off.
Shen Yu always felt that it was better to finish what he had started, and he couldn't put all his hopes on the next person. Who knew what kind of person the county magistrate who would replace him would be like? It would be better to solve all the problems before he left.
This is also what Shen Yu thought was the most correct thing he had ever done. He still remembers the scene of thousands of people seeing him off on the day he left.
Countless people rushed in after hearing the news, almost blocking the road. This scene made Mr. Chen, who was standing by, envious. Only if he could achieve this level of officialdom, he would have no regrets in his life.
When he was young, he had dreamed that he would have such a brilliant future, but unfortunately, he ended up being someone else's staff member. That dream could only be buried deep in his heart.
However, Mr. Chen never expected that after leaving Bai'an County, Shen Yu did not rush to Sanshui County as he had expected. Instead, he asked around to see if there were any vicious bandits nearby, and then went to kill them without hesitation.
So originally in Mr. Chen's plan, Shen Yu would have been able to travel thousands of miles from Bai'an County to Sanshui County in about ten days if he was quick. But now, Shen Yu had already walked for more than a month.
He was happy, but Mr. Chen was very anxious. The old man was famous for his impatient temper. He asked him where Shen Yu was every few days, but the key point was that even he didn't know where Shen Yu was. This kid didn't follow the normal path at all.
It was he who recommended Shen Yu to the old man. When he was in Bai'an County, he could be called a capable official. Especially when Wan Min wanted to send him, it made Mr. Chen remember it deeply, so after he came back, he praised Shen Yu again.
But who would have thought that Shen Yu would let himself go as soon as he left Bai'an County. The ten-day journey had lasted for more than a month and he still hadn't arrived. The old man's saliva was almost spraying on his face. Could he be more reliable?
But what Mr. Chen didn't know was that Shen Yu had not been idle at all during this period. He kept eliminating bandits and signing in everywhere. These vicious bandits along the way were the best stepping stones for him to improve himself.
Tell me, can you blame him for walking slowly? Sanshui County is full of gangs and masters, and his strength is not enough to completely suppress the situation. And the so-called strong support in Mr. Chen's mouth is to provide some detailed information about Sanshui County.
This information did give him great convenience, covering the personnel of various forces, the distribution of forces, etc. But it only prevented him from being completely in the dark. Apart from this information, there was only the extra spiritual support from Mr. Chen.
As for the real visible support, sorry, the court needs manpower everywhere now. Especially the masters, most of them are stationed in one place and cannot be mobilized at will.
To put it bluntly, he was the only one who really worked hard. So Shen Yu could only do it himself, so that he could have enough food and clothing. If he could just spend his days leisurely, who would be willing to go around and chop people to sign in? It's not easy for him!
Fortunately, he had made quite good gains during this period. Not only did he acquire the Sky Frost Fist, Lingbo Weibu, and the Peacock Feather Hand Skill, his internal strength had also reached the level of innate perfection with constant signing in and blessing, and his strength had reached a higher level than before.
In addition, you can also get advanced piano skills and advanced gambling skills by signing in. Oh, and there is also a book of 300 Tang and Song poems. I don't know how this thing got mixed into the sign-in reward.
"System, sign in!" While rushing towards Sanshui County, Shen Yu communicated with the system to collect the reward for his efforts in destroying a mountain stronghold.
"Sign in successfully, obtain the first level of mechanical skills!"
"Well, some useless stuff again!" A lot of knowledge about mechanisms and the like came to his mind, but Shen Yu didn't care much. These empty things couldn't be realized immediately. What he needed now was something that could immediately enhance his strength, even if it was a rain of pear blossom needles.
Shen Yu successfully entered the county town in the afternoon after traveling with Zhou Yuan. But not long after entering, he seemed to hear an urgent cry for help, and the sound was getting closer and closer. After a moment, a disheveled figure appeared in his sight.
“Help! Help!”
Behind the girl, there were several people chasing after her, and they caught up with the already weak girl in a matter of seconds. These people had fierce faces, and they didn't look like good people at first glance.
"Run, why don't you run anymore? Keep running! Snap!" The burly man in the lead stopped the girl and slapped her hard in the face. In an instant, the girl's face became red and swollen.
"Stop!" Before Shen Yu could say anything, Zhou Yuan, who was standing beside him, was already full of justice. He shouted, "How dare you bully a weak girl in broad daylight? Do you still have the law in your eyes?"
"Brother, you stole my line!"
"If you're working for the Fenshui Gang, be smart and behave yourself..." Zhou Yuan had just said half of his arrogant words when his fist came down, knocking the opponent dizzy and almost unable to get up.
How can you be such a jerk without moral principles? At least wait for me to finish talking before hitting me. If you want to hit me, hit me in the face!
"Brothers, fight for me, let them know how powerful our Fenshui Gang is!"
"Hmph, you overestimate your own abilities!" Zhou Yuan snorted and stood up and punched them several times, almost hitting them in the flesh. Although these people had some martial arts skills, they were only mediocre and were not good enough in front of Zhou Yuan. After only three punches and two kicks, they fell to the ground.
"Girl, are you okay? Why did they arrest you?"
"I'm fine. Thank you very much, benefactor. I was kidnapped by them!" As if she had just survived a disaster, the girl was still a little nervous and trembling as she said, "They built a manor in the city, where they imprisoned countless girls who were deceived and abducted by them. I escaped from there!"
"Oh? This..." Hearing this, Zhou Yuan subconsciously looked back at Shen Yu. They had just arrived in Sanshui County, and it seemed that they had encountered something extraordinary. Shen Yu, who was standing beside him, nodded at him.
After cooperating for so long, Zhou Yuan immediately understood what he meant, and then he said righteously, "Girl, where is the place you said? Let's go and rescue the people now!"
At this moment, a patrolling team of constables seemed to notice something was wrong and ran over quickly. Judging from the way these people were dressed, they should be constables from Sanshui County, led by a constable.
"what happened?"
"You should be the chief constable of Sanshui County!" Zhou Yuan bowed to the other party and pointed at the people lying on the ground and said, "These people claim to be members of the Fenshui Gang. They kidnapped women and imprisoned them in a manor. Please ask this constable to join us to wipe out this place!"
"Really?" The head constable looked at Shen Yu, who was dressed as a scholar, and then looked at Zhou Yuan. A weak scholar, the sturdier man next to him should be his bodyguard. What's wrong with the scholars nowadays? How dare they wade into any muddy water!
" Come here, my hero. I have something to say to you!"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yuan walked forward without any preparation, waiting to hear what the other party had to say, when the leading constable suddenly attacked and chopped Zhou Yuan on the back of the neck. Before Zhou Yuan could react, he fell straight down and didn't even know what had happened in the end.
Is this how people in Sanshui County greet each other?
Then the head constable slashed at Shen Yu's neck at the fastest speed. This made Shen Yu very entangled. Your palm power is so weak, should I fall down or not.
In an instant, Shen Yu made a decision and fell down staggeringly. He wanted to see what these people were trying to do.
"Thank you, Captain Lu!" The several sturdy men who had been beaten up by Zhou Yuan before, now supported each other and climbed up with a flattering look on their faces, then shamelessly took out a small purse and handed it over.
"It's just a token of my appreciation. I hope Captain Lu won't despise it!"
"Yes!" Constable Lu nodded with satisfaction, then said coldly, "The new county magistrate is coming soon, everyone please pay attention and don't cause any trouble!"
"I definitely won't make things difficult for Captain Lu!"
At this time, Shen Yu, who was pretending to be unconscious, could not help but frowned slightly. "Even the county police chief is in cahoots with these people. Is there any need to save the people in Sanshui County?"
