Chapter 489: After a Woman Disguised as a Man is Exposed 20
After Liu Cheng came back, the business of Zhenji Escort Agency gradually got on the right track. The chief escort officer would not come out easily. Usually, the escort chiefs would lead the team, leading a group of escorts and porters to go out to escort.
They originally thought that after the shock of the incident at Niutou Village, no one on this road would come to target their Zhenji Escort Agency again.
But unexpectedly, half a year later, the escort silver led by a escort leader named Chen Wajiang was robbed again.
The escort leader named Chen Wajiang has good skills under his command. He can be considered the one that Chu Yuan has the most hope for in the escort agency besides Liu Cheng and Ji Tianxiong. Unexpectedly, he also made a mistake.
The amount of silver embezzled this time was huge, more than twice as much as the amount robbed from Niutou Village that year.
Moreover, when the escort team came back, almost everyone was injured. How could Chu Yuan not be angry?
When the escort agency was first established, she repeatedly reminded every escort leader that if they encountered robbers, they should run away if they couldn't defeat them. Losing things was not a big deal; the important thing was to save their lives. As long as there is life, there is hope.
According to Chen Wajiang, the group of people who robbed the silver were extremely ruthless. In the end, when they knew they were no match for them and did not want to fight with them, the group actually chased them and beat them.
Moreover, this group of people seemed to be well prepared. After he threw the first poison gas bomb, he and his team were caught up by another group before they had walked five kilometers.
It turned out that the group sent in the front was just a cover, and the group behind was the main force, which caught them off guard.
Moreover, this group of people had a clear goal. They attacked without saying a word. The leader's kung fu was quite methodical, and he forced Chen Wajiang to retreat step by step. In the end, he had to throw the second poison gas bomb to bring everyone back.
As for the silver, it had already been taken away by the group of people long ago, leaving no trace at all.
The situation of the robbery of the silver this time was very different from the last time. First of all, they had no information about this group of people, so even if they wanted to bring people to find the cause after they came back, they had no idea where to start.
After Chu Yuan found out what happened, he first invited a few doctors to treat the injured brothers.
Then he asked Xu Lang to find his acquaintances to inquire about the situation. Such a group of people suddenly appeared near Ping'an Town, so their escort company should not be the only one targeted.
Xu Lang was very efficient in his work. Within half a day, he had found out other information about this group of people.
A month ago, there was a sudden heavy snowfall in Yucheng, not far from Ping'an Town. The prison holding death row prisoners accidentally collapsed, killing many people. Of course, in addition to these, many people also took the opportunity to escape.
As a fugitive without a household registration certificate, the only way to make a living is to occupy a mountain and become a king.
So they spontaneously established a gang called the Qinglong Gang. In the context of feudal society, the fact that they dared to use the name of Dragon shows how arrogant this group of people were.
However, they have reason to be so arrogant. The leader of the Qinglong Gang is named Hong Chenghuang. He once fought against ten constables single-handedly and escaped unscathed.
The Qinglong Gang usually operates near the Daqing Mountain. The place where the silver escorted by Chen Wajiang was robbed was on an official road not far from the Daqing Mountain.
Things became easier after knowing the origin and location of this group of people, so Chu Yuan left the escort agency alone again.
The situation of the Qinglong Gang is different from that of Niutou Village. Niutou Village has been established for many years, and the leader and the second in command have absolute authority in the village, so Chu Yuan only needs to take action to deal with these two leaders, which is equivalent to dealing with the entire village.
But the Qinglong Gang is different. They are a group of desperate criminals and have only been formed for a month. It is very likely that no one of them will submit to each other.
If Chu Yuan only took action to deal with the boss Hong Chenghuang, the people under him would not only not be obedient, but might even take the opportunity to usurp the throne, causing another bloody battle.
Therefore, to deal with the Qinglong Gang, we have to subdue everyone at once.
Still using the old method, Chu Yuan took advantage of the darkness and quietly climbed up the Daqing Mountain. He put a poison in each of the water tanks they used to store water, and then went back to the space to rest.
When I came out the next day, I saw many people collapsed on the ground groaning in pain.
Of course, not everyone has the habit of drinking water first thing in the morning, so there are still a few people who have not been affected. They look around in horror, trying to find the person who secretly harmed them.
Chu Yuan hid in the dark and threw out a few silver needles. The moment the needle tip scratched the opponent's skin, the toxin on it quickly penetrated into their body through the tiny wound.
After a short moment, a few muffled "bang bang bang" sounds were heard, and the few survivors fell to the ground with a bang.
At this time, a burly man with a big knife on his shoulder came out and said, "Who is so mean as to poison someone in secret? If you have the guts, come out and fight me openly."
Judging from the man's tone, he should be the boss of the Qinglong Gang, Hong Chenghuang.
Chu Yuan showed no fear. She stepped out steadily from the darkness and said, "Low-level tactics? Humph, why should I bother with tactics when dealing with a bunch of murderous villains like you?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Chenghuang shouted angrily, "What an ignorant young man! Since you dare to come and provoke me today, why don't you tell me your name right away!"
Chu Yuan slightly raised his head, looked directly at Hong Chenghuang, and said in a clear voice: "I am Chu Yuan from the Zhenji Escort Agency. I have come here to recover the escort money that you robbed yesterday."
"So it's an unknown escort agency. Haha, do you think you can recover the escort money?" Hong Chenghuang didn't take Chu Yuan seriously at all.
Chu Yuan didn't say much to him and attacked with a killing move. There was no need to talk about the code of conduct when dealing with people like them who have done so much evil.
Hong Chenghuang was obviously no ordinary man. Just when Chu Yuan's fierce attack was about to hit him, he dodged sideways at an extremely fast speed, broke Chu Yuan's move with a block, and then turned defense into attack, waving the weapon in his hand to counterattack towards Chu Yuan.
However, Chu Yuan was a veteran and experienced fighter. After several rounds of fighting, she had already roughly figured out Hong Chenghuang's martial arts style.
So, she seized the opportunity and stabbed out two swords in succession, stabbing Hong Chenghuang's heart with incredible precision, and the tip of the sword just stopped only an inch away from Hong Chenghuang's heart.
If Chu Yuan had not shown mercy, Hong Chenghuang would have died by now.
Of course, the reason why she held back was not because she was going to let this man go. She had found out clearly before coming that this guy was a wanted criminal and she could get a reward if she sent him to the government office.
So Chu Yuan took action to destroy his martial arts and tied him to the horse with a thick hemp rope.
As for the other people in the Qinglong Gang, Chu Yuan gave them a day's worth of antidote.
After these people have recovered their strength, they will be responsible for delivering the silver and other goods they have robbed during this period. We can't let Chu Yuan run back and forth all the time.
