Who will provide resources and teach martial arts to support Black Wind Village?

And he can get a batch of strictly controlled silver crossbows used by the Imperial City Guards, so this person must be extraordinary.

Yan Ming quickly analyzed in his mind.

To be honest, he doesn't want to care about the bad things outside. He just wants to run his own territory of Qixia Town well, protect the peace of the area, earn system rewards and cultivation points, and continuously improve his strength.

But Cuiwei Mountain is too close to Qixia Town, so we can’t cover our ears and steal the bell. We must consider all situations carefully to prevent accidents.

Yan Ming asked some more questions and learned more detailed information.

According to this bandit's account, Heifeng Village only had about a hundred people before, and its core combat strength was about dozens of people. Most of the time, they blocked roads and robbed people of money.

But recently, with the help of that mysterious man, Heifeng Village has annexed several waves of bandits. Now the number has reached a terrifying thousand people, and they have begun to rob towns frequently.

Only here in Qixia Town, the big boss has been suppressing them from invading, and at most they were looting along the Xiliang River - until this time they blackmailed Yuan Wei.

As for whether there are undercover agents from Heifengzhai in Wei Yuan's house, and why the boss is targeting this place now, this little bandit can't tell.

After Yan Ming knew what he was doing, he interrogated several other bandits and got similar answers.

Finally, Yan Ming came to a cell where the evil Shura Niu Wanshan was imprisoned.

Different from his usual style, after Niu Wanshan entered the prison, he became extremely silent and sat in the corner very gloomy.

Now seeing Yan Ming walk in, Niu Wanshan, who had broken his arm, rolled his eyes with a strong sense of dissatisfaction.

"Stop wasting your time. I won't tell you anything you ask. If you have the guts, I'll be killed!"

"If you want to be tortured, go ahead. I will lick blood from my knife for the rest of my life. Am I still afraid of you, the eagle-clawed grandson, who will torture me to extract a confession?"

"Grandson of Eagle Claw, you are using dirty tricks. I will have another fight with Grandpa. Grandpa will cramp your skin and skin you, and kill all the men and women in your family..."

Before Yan Ming could speak, Niu Wanshan spoke first and cursed.

Yan Ming knew in his heart that for such a vicious and violent bandit, execution may not scare him, and the information provided may not be true.

Yan Ming still has a lot of things to do, and seeing his uncooperative attitude, he has temporarily lost interest in interrogating him.

Just listening to Niu Wanshan's loud voice and constantly spitting out dirty words, Yan Ming frowned again.

"Noisy!"

Yan Ming said, grabbed another bandit next door and ordered.

"Go ahead and shut up your second boss's mouth."

Niu Wanshan was about to gag again when he heard this. Niu Wanshan was stunned and then cursed even harder.

The bandit dragged a broken leg and looked at Yan Ming in fear, not daring to resist. He limped over and tore off a piece of dirty rags from his body.

"The second boss, the younger brother can't do anything, don't blame me..."

"Asshole, how dare you touch me! Just wait, I'm going to... Bah, what's the smell? I told you to take a bath more often, you... ugh!"

Soon, Niu Wanshan's mouth was blocked again.

He had been hit by Shixiang Ruanjin San, and his hands and feet were handcuffed, so he had no power to fight back.

But this level of humiliation is even more uncomfortable than killing him directly.

After the bandit finished his work, he felt an inexplicable sense of joy as he saw the once mighty and domineering second-in-command in such a miserable condition under his hands, as if he had unlocked some strange psychological quirk.

Yan Ming checked around again, and then caught the bandit he was interrogating at the beginning.

This bandit is more obedient, and only has his hands broken, and he can still move around.

Yan Ming said to him.

"I can let you go back, and you can help me send a message to your boss."

"Really, really?"

After hearing this, the bandit suddenly saw hope.

"Yes, but I can't be too easy on you. As a punishment, I will cut off your nose and make you look small. Go back and tell the people in your village that the next time you dare to cause trouble in Qixia Town, the price will not be such a small price."

Before the bandit could react, he felt a chill on his face and let out a scream that echoed in the prison for a long time.

Not long after, outside the Seven Heroes Town, a miserable figure with his hands cut off, his face covered in blood, and one eye blind, stumbled away in a hurry towards the Cuiwei Mountain.

Yan Ming has already left the prison.

He just asked the rice shop clerk, recovered all the stolen goods, and returned them to the rice shop shopkeeper.

When the guy saw Yan Ming being so cunning in dealing with the bandits, he was so frightened that he pissed himself off and started asking questions.

After handling this small matter, Yan Ming rushed to the county government office.

There used to be less things going on in Qixia Town. Like the prison, it was usually relatively quiet.

In addition, Lou Zhi County’s official style is relatively indifferent, so he will not be promoted to the court if nothing happens.

At best, this is called governance by doing nothing; at worst, it means that you can just mix things up.

Lou Zhixian is a typical two-ranked Jinshi, but he is not young, has no utilitarianism, and does not like too many official rules. His official career is limited. His biggest dream is to work in Qixia Town until he retires and returns to his hometown.

Normally, Lou Zhixian likes to raise flowers, birds, fish and insects in his mansion, and cultivate some elegant hobbies. Even if he has something to do, he will try his best to ask his subordinates to do it.

This is not surprising to Yan Ming. In the plot of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", Lou Zhixian has never appeared once. He is obviously not too strong or trouble-loving.

It’s just that the county government is more lively today.

Wei Jin, the rich man in the town, donated two thousand taels of silver for the first time and also sent people to deliver a large number of gifts!

Wei Jin's Hanyuanzhai specializes in the Four Treasures of the Study, books and classics, and the gifts he sent are very scholarly, which is exactly what Lou Zhixian is interested in.

Lou Zhixian just received the donation, and Yuan Qiu also came shortly after.

Because Yan Ming saved Qiu Xiaodong last night and heard that Wei Jin donated taels of silver, Qiu Yuanwai, who is also one of the four richest men, refused to lag behind and donated a thousand taels of silver and a free house to Yan Ming.

Before Lou Zhixian finished his work, he soon heard that Mrs. Qian, the proprietress of Wanli Bank, had personally come forward to represent the people of Qixia Town to thank Captain Yan for quickly eradicating the bandits and protecting the peace of the country.

The situation one after another made Lou Zhixian extremely busy.

When Yan Ming arrived, the Lou magistrate had just sent Mrs. Qian away.

Yan Ming stepped forward and bowed his hands.

"Captain Yan is coming soon, you gave me a big surprise!"

Lou Zhixian apparently also knew about the capture of the bandits. Speaking with a Lingnan accent, he took Yan Ming into the county government office.

I have found someone to start counting the silver gifts.

Lou Zhixian had no idea about money at all, and immediately told Yan Ming that if he needed to renovate and repair the prison, or purchase and make various torture instruments, he could just use the money. As long as the records were clear, there was no need to ask him again.

Anyway, everyone’s donations of silver are all for Yan Ming.

After explaining, he turned to ask with interest.

"Captain Yan, do you know martial arts? Capt. Xing has never mentioned it to this county."

"When I was in the countryside, I met an expert by chance and learned some things."

Yan Ming lied casually.

"That's good. With you guarding Qixia Town, this county will feel more at ease."

Lou Zhixian didn't ask any more questions and felt he was very indifferent to the matter. He was more interested in the few ancient books sent by Wei Jin and held them in his hands.

"By the way, Captain Yan, you came with this county. I have something to ask you for help today."

After saying that, Magistrate Lou took Yan Ming through the county government office and arrived at the mansion behind.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Yan Ming saw an elegant middle-aged man sitting upright and sipping tea. There was a guard standing next to him, and there was a faint sense of oppression on his body.

"Brother Nian, there are a lot of things going on and I have kept you waiting for a long time."

As soon as Lou Zhixian entered the door, he bowed his hands and apologized to him, and then pointed at Yan Ming.

"This is the Qixia Zhenyan agent. He can help you with your matter."

Then he introduced Yan Ming.

"This is Ling Tuisi, the prefect of Jingzhou. He is here to ask for help from our town."

"Ling Tuisi?"

Yan Ming cupped his fists to say hello, but the name sounded familiar.

"I wonder if I can help Magistrate Ling with anything?"

Yan Ming asked.

"It's quite simple. Two felons on death row in Jingzhou escaped from prison. Not only did they kill my little girl, they also stole something from my Ling family."

"I led people to track them all the way. These two people disappeared when they arrived near Qixia Town. They must be hiding here. Therefore, I asked Detective Yan to help find the new suspicious strangers in the town. If they are found, they will be paid heavily.

."

Ling Tuisi had no airs, put down the tea cup and said politely.

Although Ling Tuisi's statement sounded reasonable at first, Yan Ming suddenly felt that it was abnormal.

How can the magistrate of Jingzhou personally hunt down serious criminals?

Moreover, it was obviously just a matter of assisting in the investigation of official documents, but he came to entrust it privately. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that there was something wrong.

Yan Ming continued to ask.

"I don't know what the two of them stole from Magistrate Ling. If I catch them, I can count the stolen goods or inquire about their whereabouts."

Ling Tuisi hesitated slightly after hearing this, but still pretended not to care.

"Actually, it's just an ancestral sword manual from my Ling family, called Liancheng Jue."
