Those years when I fished in Zhenwu Division

Chapter 106
After a group of people galloped for more than 100 miles, Lin Canglan and Lu Ze looked at each other and nodded.

"Appreciate~"

Both of them pulled the reins together, forcing the galloping horse to slow down slowly.

Seeing this, the others also hurriedly reined in their horses, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Ou Wenjie asked suspiciously, "My lord, why did we stop here?"

The others also looked at Lu Ze and Lin Canglan in unison.

Lin Canglan looked around and said loudly, "Everyone, get off your horses first, I have something to say to Mr. Lu."

Everyone looked puzzled, and then dismounted one after another.

When everyone gathered around, Lin Canglan said loudly, "Everyone, I'm really sorry for keeping everyone in the dark."

"This official and Mr. Lu have not given up on this mission."

"It's just because of a plan, so I have to take everyone to create the illusion of leaving Anyuan County."

Fake?

The faces of the people became more and more puzzled.

Lu Ze took over the conversation, and said slowly: "As Lord Lin said yesterday, because Guo Yuantao was afraid of us in Anyuan County, he set his sights on the business team outside the city."

"As long as we are still in Anyuan County, he will definitely not continue to commit crimes in Anyuan County."

Speaking of this, Lu Ze couldn't help but glanced at Su Yu, with an unnatural look on his face, and then continued:
"That's why this officer and Master Lin came up with this idea. They deliberately left Anyuan County in flying fish suits, creating an illusion that Guo Yuantao would mistakenly think that we had given up on this mission."

After all, this method was proposed by Su Yu, but now in order to arouse unnecessary heated discussions, Lu Ze still decided not to include Su Yu, and after the task is completed, just give him some more actual rewards.

"As long as Guo Yuantao makes the mistake of thinking that we have left Anyuan County and returned to Tai'an City, he will definitely return to the city to commit crimes."

Lu Ze said in a deep voice, "And this is our chance!"

Hearing Lu Ze's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

They immediately understood the intentions of Lu Ze and Lin Canglan.

Because arresting Guo Yuantao for the first time is equivalent to alerting the snake.

Now that he knew that they had iron figurines who could deal with him, Guo Yuantao naturally did not dare to continue committing crimes in the city, otherwise he might not have a chance to escape if he was caught next time.

Lu Ze continued: "But this time, the previous plan has to be changed!"

"This time, our purpose is no longer to arrest Guo Yuantao, but to try to find out where he is."

"Before that, no matter what he does in Anyuan County, we can't interfere, and we can't be discovered by him."

"What we have to do is wait for him to rob the property, follow him and see where he will take the property and hide it?"

Whoa!
Everyone at the scene couldn't help being in an uproar when they heard the words.

Although Lu Ze's words were cryptic, none of the people present were fools.

What else can Guo Yuantao do in Anyuan County?
It is nothing more than slaughtering wealthy businessmen and robbing property, as well as robbing women and defilement.

But now Lu Ze said that no matter what Guo Yuantao did, he couldn't stop him. Isn't that just telling them to stand by and watch.

And they have only one purpose, that is to follow Guo Yuantao after Guo Yuantao commits a bloody murder and investigate where his hiding place is.

"At present, this is the most practical and effective way."

Su Yu thought to himself.

Guo Yuantao's difficulty was even beyond his expectation.

Someone must be the bait, otherwise it will be very difficult to dig out Guo Yuantao and the hidden secrets behind him.

As long as he continues to commit crimes, he will show his flaws sooner or later.

And before they master the secret of Guo Yuantao's rebirth, they must not startle the snake again.

Otherwise, if Guo Yuantao is frightened, he will be more cautious, and even leave Anyuan County, and it will be more difficult to dig out his secrets.

Lin Canglan said: "Okay, now the official will make the specific plan,"

"Gong Kaiwen, your three-person team patrols Lianhua Road, Jilongcheng, your three-person team patrols Tianxing Road, Ou Wenjie, your three-person team patrols Beiping Lane, He Zhiwei, your three-person patrol"

"I would like to remind everyone here that Mr. Lu and I have other things to do, so we will not appear in the area you are guarding."

"If Guo Yuantao commits a crime in your area, remember not to startle him, just follow him, even if you lose him, you can't expose yourself."

"Did you hear everything clearly?"

"clear!"

The crowd responded.

"very good!"

Lin Canglan nodded, and said, "Now everyone has changed out of their flying fish uniforms, and put away their Zhenwu Dao, and changed into the clothes worn by Jianghu warriors."

Everyone took off their flying fish suits, and quickly put on fresh outfits.

Lin Canglan continued: "Take three people as a team and rush to Anyuan County in batches. You can't go to the county government office, and you can't go to the brothel again, so as not to be noticed by Guo Yuantao that we killed another carbine gun. After everyone enters the city , each find a different inn to stay in.”

"If there is news to report, come to the private room of Tianzihao in Anyuan Inn. Master Lu and I will live in Anyuan Inn."

"In order not to attract the attention of others, you can't choose to stay in Anyuan Inn, you know?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, Gong Kaiwen, the three of you go first, the second batch of Jilongcheng, you three, the third batch, Ou Wenjie, you three, the fourth batch, He Zhiwei, you three, the fifth batch."

Under Lin Canglan's order, after each team left for a stick of incense, the second team would set off for Anyuan County again.

"Hopefully, this method can really work."

Lin Canglan murmured until the last team disappeared from sight.

"Lord Lin, don't worry, we will definitely succeed this time."

As Lu Ze said, he took out a package from the horse and handed it over.

"What is this?" Lin Canglan asked.

"In this package, there are 23 copper essence pills. You and I each find a stall in the black market in Anyuan County. Otherwise, only one person in the entire Anyuan County sells copper essence pills, which will easily arouse Guo Yuantao's suspicion."

Lu Ze said with a smile: "As long as Guo Yuantao needs copper elixir, but there is no one on the market, he will definitely come to the black market to buy it."

"At that time, it's our chance."

Lin Canglan took the package and sighed softly, "I hope that now that he has money, he won't continue to focus on looting the rich merchants in the city."

He still had some difficulty accepting Lu Ze's plan to use wealthy businessmen in Anyuan County as bait.

Although he also understands that at present, this is the most feasible way.

"You go first, I'll follow up later." Lu Ze smiled.

"it is good."

Lin Canglan nodded, got on his horse, and headed straight towards Anyuan County.

Looking at the back of Lin Canglan riding his horse away, Lu Ze had a strange light in his eyes, and murmured in a low voice: "Lin Canglan, it's not a good thing to be soft-hearted, just like the four thousand adults above, how ruthless they are!" Ah, thousands of people died as soon as they said they were dead in order to catch the judges of the Yan Luo Temple in Jingzhou, do they feel half guilty?"

"In this world, it's always been a one-time success and ten-year-old death."

Baibaolou.

In a small place like Anyuan County, there is naturally no Wanbao Building like in Tai'an City, which can contain all kinds of rare treasures. As long as you have money, you can buy everything you want.

However, some people in Anyuan County imitated Wanbao Building and built a Baibao Building. Like Wanbao Building, they used the method of charging low and selling high to earn the price difference.

When night fell, a man shrouded in a black robe walked into Baibaolou.

A maid from Baibaolou with a pretty face and scantily dressed clothes immediately came up to her, bending her body slightly, revealing a bottomless ravine.

"Guest officer, how can I help you?" the maid asked crisply with her eyebrows watering.

The black-robed man stared straight at the snow-white and bottomless ravine, and felt an evil fire rising from his lower abdomen.

"I want you."

The man in black robe said with a smile: "Tell me, what's the price? Can you sleep with me for one night?"

The maid was startled when she heard the words, and immediately stepped back hurriedly, saying: "I'm sorry, guest officer, slaves and servants are not that kind of people, please respect yourself, guest officer."

Seeing what the maid said, the man in black also put away his evil thoughts, but he gave the maid a meaningful look, and the evil intent in his eyes flashed away.

The girl he's eyeing has never missed.

From the moment she said she didn't want money, in his eyes, this maid was already a corpse.

But he came here to deal with business at the moment, so he put away his thoughts and said lightly: "I want to find shopkeeper Guan, is he here?"

"Here I am."

The maid nodded and said, "This servant will take the guest officer there."

As she spoke, the maid twisted her waist and led the way.

The black-robed man's gaze was fixed on the maid's twisted waist and hips, and she couldn't help licking her scarlet lips.

The maid led the black-robed man to the door of a room, then pushed the door open and signaled, "Guest officer, the shopkeeper Guan is inside."

"Well, you go down."

After the man in black robe finished speaking, he went straight into the room alone.

Inside the house, a fat man was embracing the two maids from left to right, whispering some whispers in the ears of the two maids, which made them giggle.

The man in the house is the shopkeeper Guan of Baibaolou, who is in charge of the pill business in the building.

However, after seeing the black-robed man coming in, Shopkeeper Guan restrained his movements, stood up and said with a smile, "Guest officer, what do you need?"

The black-robed man took out a bag of Yuanjing and threw it on the table, and said calmly, "Here are [-] Yuanjing, I'll buy five Copper Essence Pills!"

"Bronze elixir?"

Shopkeeper Guan was taken aback when he heard the words, then shook his head and said, "Sorry, guest officer, the Copper Essence Pill was sold out a few days ago."

"Sold out?"

The black-robed man was startled, and immediately continued: "When will the stock be available?"

"It's not clear."

Shopkeeper Guan shook his head and said: "In the past few months, because that guy named Guo Yuantao has been committing crimes in Anyuan County, and Zhenwusi couldn't do anything about him, many merchants gave up and continued to do business in Anyuan County. Bronze elixir is here."

The man in black robe said: "Besides Baibaolou, where else can you sell copper elixir?"

"other places?"

Shopkeeper Guan thought for a moment, and said, "Isn't there a black market in Anyuan County? It's on Chongjing Road. Maybe there will be copper elixir for sale there. You can go there and have a look."

"However, once the money and the goods are sold in the black market, you have to pinch your nose even if you buy a ball made of shit. So, you must observe carefully to make sure it is real before you buy it with money."

The black-robed man stopped talking, picked up the cloth bag with Yuanjing on the table, took a deep look at the two maids beside the shopkeeper Guan, then turned around and walked out of the room with a chuckle.

After walking out of the Hundred Treasures Building, the man in black went to several other pharmacies in the city that sold Copper Essence Pills, and the answer they got was that they were all sold out.

"Why are they all sold out?"

The black-robed man frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

He often changes several stores to buy copper elixir, and occasionally the copper elixir is sold out, but almost all of them can be purchased successfully in other stores.

But today, all the pharmacies he knew and all the copper essence pills were sold out, which made him feel a little weird.

However, his brows gradually eased when he thought of the shopkeeper Guan in Baibaolou saying that because of Guo Yuantao, no one would continue to come to Anyuan County to continue doing business.

Because he got thirteen Bronze Pills from a merchant traveler.

"It seems that the copper elixir in Anyuan County is sold out, and it's because of me."

Under the black robe, Guo Yuantao had a smirk on his lips.

He is the one who has been spreading the word throughout Anyuan County in the past few months, Guo Yuantao.

It's just that he never expected that the noise he caused in the city would affect him one day.

"With five more Copper Essence Pills, I should be able to advance to the late stage of the Copperskin Realm. I can't delay my cultivation and entry."

"Although there are counterfeit medicines in the black market, as long as you are careful, based on my experience in buying so many copper essence pills, the possibility of mistaking them is very small."

Guo Yuantao thought carefully for a moment, and then went straight to the direction of Chongjing Road.

If there is no copper elixir in the black market, then give up and wait a few days to check again.

Coming to Chongjing Road, Guo Yuantao paid an entrance fee of one tael of silver, then walked into the black market and began to search for the copper elixir he needed.

Until he saw bottles and jars placed in front of a stall, and the name of the corresponding pill was written on each jade bottle.

In front of the booth, Guo Yuantao saw the eighth-grade copper elixir he needed.

"How do you sell the Eighth Grade Copper Essence Pill?"

Guo Yuantao looked at the stall owner and said in a hoarse voice.

"A 280 yuan crystal!"

The stall owner looked up at him and said calmly.

Guo Yuantao was taken aback when he heard the words, it was his first time to buy pills on the black market, and he didn't expect the pills here to be cheaper than outside.

He couldn't help saying: "Everyone sells three hundred yuan crystals outside, your copper essence can't be fake, right? It's so cheap?"

The stall owner chuckled and said, "It's up to you to check, as long as you're sure it's true, you can buy it with money!"

Guo Yuantao heard the words, stood there hesitating for a moment, then turned and left.

Looking at the back of Guo Yuantao leaving, the stall owner's eyes lit up.

After setting up the stall for so long tonight, the person in front of him was the first person to inquire about the price of his copper elixir.

And he is Lin Canglan who came to the black market with Lu Ze to sell copper essence pills.

The two have been setting up a stall here for three days, and have sold nine Copper Essence Pills, each with a net loss of 20 yuan.

Just half an hour ago, Lu Ze had already greeted him, and left with a warrior who bought his copper elixir
This was an appointment made by the two of them long ago, because people in the black market are trading here in bamboo hats, and it is difficult for them to tell whether the buyer is Guo Yuantao.

For this reason, the two thought of another way to die.

That is to sell only one copper elixir at a price lower than the market.

As long as someone buys Copper Jingdan, immediately close the stall and find a way to follow the other party to its place of residence.

In this way, as long as there is one buyer they have been fooled into being Guo Yuantao, their previous efforts will not be in vain.

After a while, Lin Canglan saw Lu Ze in a black robe walking towards him.

In order to easily identify their respective identities in the black market, the black robes they both wore had a gold border sewn on the cuffs on purpose.

"How about it?"

When Lu Ze came up, Lin Canglan hurriedly asked.

"no!"

Lu Ze was covered under the black robe, shook his head, and then continued: "The man took off the black robe he was wearing shortly after he left the black market. After seeing the man's appearance clearly, I came back."

When Lin Canglan heard this, a look of disappointment could not help but flash across his eyes.

The two have been here for three days, but they still haven't waited for the right owner.

"How is your side?" Lu Ze couldn't help asking.

"Just now, someone asked about the price of Copper Essence Pill."

Lin Canglan said: "But because the price I gave was lower than the market price, he was worried that it was a fake, so he left directly."

"Ah."

Lu Ze smiled wryly: "The world is so strange now, the price is slightly lower than the market price, and buyers don't think the price is affordable, but worry that they will buy a fake because of it."

"This is the rivers and lakes."

Lin Canglan sighed: "People in the Jianghu are intriguing and unscrupulous for their own interests, which has caused many trends in the Jianghu to spread to all walks of life."

At this point, Lin Canglan couldn't help but paused, and then said: "When it comes to cultivating mutual trust between life and death, Jianghu should learn from Zhenwusi."

"Although the Zhenwu Division has many criticisms, every team of the Zhenwuwei has been together day and night under the joint mission for many years, and it is easy to form a life-threatening friendship. This is something that many warriors in the rivers and lakes cannot match."

After hearing Lin Canglan's words, Lu Ze, who was wearing a black hat, shook his head and said flatly, "Brother Lin, I advise you, don't trust the people in Zhenwu Division too much."

"In the face of absolute interests, anyone can betray anyone!"

"We have been friends for many years. I hope you can keep this sentence in your heart, otherwise you will fall on it sooner or later!"

"Oh?"

Lin Canglan frowned and looked at him puzzled.

"That's all."

Lu Ze changed the subject and said, "The black market will be closed in half an hour, I'll try setting up a stall again."

Looking at the back of Lu Ze turning away, Lin Canglan's face under the black robe was thoughtful.

Not long after Lu Ze left, another figure covered in a black robe came to the booth.

It was Guo Yuantao who came.

After wandering around the black market, he found that this was the only one selling copper elixir.

Guo Yuantao pretended to be passing by this stall for the first time, and said in a hoarse voice: "How do you sell this copper essence pill?"

"280 yuan per crystal." Lin Canglan replied.

"280 yuan crystal?"

Guo Yuantao said indifferently: "This price is lower than the market price of Baibaolou."

"Hehe, I'm short of money and need to sell as soon as possible, so I deliberately lowered the price." Lin Canglan said.

"Can I check?" Guo Yuantao asked.

"Naturally." Lin Canglan nodded.

Guo Yuantao said: "Okay then, take out the elixir."

Lin Canglan opened the cork of the jade bottle, and poured the red copper-colored copper elixir into the palm of his hand.

Guo Yuantao frowned. After careful inspection, there was no difference between this copper essence pill and the copper essence pill he bought before.

Then he didn't give up, and with Lin Canglan's consent, he scraped off a layer of medicinal powder on the alchemy wall with a knife and took it, feeling the medicinal powder transform into a burst of vitality in his body.
Lin Canglan said: "How is it? The guest officer is also an expert, so he must be able to confirm the authenticity of this copper elixir by now, right?"

The procedures for selling pills in the black market are so complicated.

Because many sellers have endless counterfeiting methods.

Many of them used fake pills to make a fortune here today, and then fled to another place to cheat and abduct them the next day.

Many people will choose more trustworthy channels to buy elixir after suffering a lot of losses because of lack of vision.

In a place like the black market, if you want to sell pills, buyers are too wary.

After all, Copper Essence Pill is an eighth-grade elixir, and the price of one pill would take several months to earn this amount of money. Naturally, the buyer did not dare to be careless.

Guo Yuantao nodded, took out a cloth bag containing Yuanjing from under the black robe, and said calmly: "This copper essence pill is indeed real, I want five pills, of course, I need to check all five pills!"

Five grains?

Lin Canglan's eyes were fixed, this guy is rich and powerful.

However, according to the regulations set by him and Lu Ze, only one copper elixir will be sold at a time.

In addition to preventing someone from buying Copper Jingdan for Guo Yuantao, it is also convenient for them to track and find out the other party's identity.

"Excuse me."

Lin Canglan shook his head and said, "This copper elixir is the only one left in my hand."

"Only one?"

Guo Yuantao frowned slightly, and then said: "That's fine."

After speaking, he took out 280 pills from the cloth bag and handed them to Lin Canglan.

Lin Canglan counted the number of Yuan Jing and said, "The number is right, this copper essence is yours."

After speaking, Lin Canglan handed over the jade bottle in his hand.

Guo Yuantao took the jade bottle, and in order to prevent Lin Canglan from dropping the copper elixir in his hand, he opened the jade bottle again suspiciously, took out the copper elixir inside, and refilled it after confirming that it was the one he inspected earlier. Yuping, turn around and leave.

Looking at the back of the other party going away, Lin Canglan hastily put away the other various pills placed on the stall, and then followed.

Guo Yuantao did not leave the black market, but continued to hang out in the black market.

Just buying a copper elixir is far from achieving the purpose of his trip.

Then, under Lin Canglan's gaze, the buyer came to the stall where Lu Ze was.

"Oh, what a coincidence."

Looking at the gold border under the stall owner's black robe, Lin Canglan knew who the stall owner was.

Thinking about it, the other party was unwilling to buy only one Copper Essence Pill, and now they found Lu Ze again.

Under Lin Canglan's gaze, Guo Yuantao, who was covered in a black robe, repeated his previous actions of checking the authenticity of the copper elixir, and then bought the copper elixir in front of Lu Ze's stall.

Then he saw that Lu Ze also closed the stall shortly after the buyer left, and followed him up.

Buyers continued to wander around the black market until the entire black market had been visited, and after confirming that no one was selling the copper elixir, they went straight out of the black market.

Just as Lu Ze was about to follow, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

He was taken aback, but he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the black robe cuffs of the person who patted him on the shoulder had a gold border.

"What are you doing, someone just bought a Copper Essence Pill from me, and I'm about to follow up." Lu Ze said.

"That guy also bought a Copper Essence Pill from my stall," Lin Canglan said.

"Heh, this guy is equivalent to earning me forty Yuanjing for nothing."

Lu Ze smiled and said, "Let's go, anyway, the black market will be closed soon, if this person is not Guo Yuantao, then let's go back to the inn."

Lin Canglan nodded and said, "Yes."

Immediately, the two walked out of the black market together, and then hung far behind the buyer, following them all the way.
