Chapter 1768: Mountain Bandits
Mei Sheng was stunned by Lin Haoming's words.
His own affairs are indeed a bit legendary. After all, hunting ferocious beasts and earning Yuanjing to advance to the Taoist tyrant is also a once-in-a-century thing in the entire Chigang City, but he hasn't done this for many years. He knows very well how dangerous it is to go to Chiyan Mountain to hunt. Before he came to see Lin Haoming, he thought a lot and prepared a lot of countermeasures to deal with the city verdict, but now he can't use it at all.
"Sir, are you kidding?" Mei Sheng asked in disbelief.
"A ferocious beast in the Daofei realm can sell thousands of Shi Jing, right?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Sir, it is famous for being difficult to capture ferocious beasts in the Taoist fetus realm. Otherwise, the price would not be so high. Even the most experienced hunters often have accidents with seemingly complete preparations!" Mei Sheng was afraid that Lin Haoming would be ingenious and wanted to cause trouble, so he immediately persuaded him.
Seeing Mei Sheng's anxious look, Lin Haoming also saw that Mei Sheng was actually just a person who had ideas in his heart but did not dare to do it. Logically speaking, he came out of a hunter back then, how could he be so timid?
"I just want to go and see, Manager Mei, if you don't want to, you can recommend someone to me!" Lin Haoming did not force him.
"Sir, do you really just want to go and have a look?" Mei Sheng was still a little suspicious.
"Do I still want to go hunting?" Lin Haoming said a little dissatisfied.
"I dare not. If this is the case, my subordinates can take the adults for a walk, but it is really dangerous there. I suggest that the adults go to find Gao Chengwei and second some elite troops in the city guards." Mei Sheng said.
"There are many people in Chigang City who want to make a name for themselves by hunting. Why do I have to mobilize the city guards when I go?" Lin Haoming was a little confused.
Mei Sheng could only smile bitterly: "There is a bandit on Chiyan Mountain, who calls themselves Chiyan Army. They don't robbery families. However, all things like hunting ferocious beasts or going to the mountains to find medicine need to be paid mountain tax. It can be said that Chiyan Mountain is their territory."
"How is the Red Flame Army compared to the White Horse Gang?" Lin Haoming asked.
"This...of course this is not as good as it is. I heard that there are only one thousand people in the Red Flame Army, and only the leader is in the Daofei realm." Mei Sheng said.
"Since there are only one thousand people, and only the bandit leader is in the Daofei realm, why didn't they be wiped out before?" Lin Haoming continued to ask.
"This... Lord Lin, this is really not what I know. Maybe the Red Flame Army has its own rules and rarely harms Chigang City!" Mei Sheng guessed.
"How much power do you think if you destroy this Red Flame Army?" Lin Haoming asked back.
"This is a bit difficult. Even if the guards in Chigang City are pulled into the mountains, it is easy to defeat the other party. It is not that easy to wipe out!" Mei Sheng was a little surprised by Lin Haoming's choice.
"Oh! Is that true?" Lin Haoming stared at Mei Sheng and seemed to feel a little unbelievable.
With a simple look of Lin Haoming's disbelief, Pan Yue immediately spoke for her husband: "Sir, Mei Sheng is very accurate. Although the Red Flame Army has appeared in Chiyan Mountain for three or five hundred years, Mei Sheng has been in charge of Jiaku Pavilion earlier. He is not familiar with the Red Flame Army. In fact, Gao Chengwei has been trying to wipe out the Red Flame Army for the past two or three hundred years."
"Why?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Because many people in the Chiyan Army actually have some hatred with the Gao family, the leader Chang Zhongmou is even the big enemy of the Gao family. He originally relied on wealthy businessmen who bought and sold ferocious beasts. Later, because his business grew bigger, he was favored by Gao Liangyu, but his family was destroyed and his wife and children were separated. He was the only one. He fled to Chiyan Mountain and brought a group of brothers to deal with the Gao family. At first, Gao Liangsheng also sent two city guards to encircle and suppress the city guards, but every time he saw the city guards, he hid in the mountains, leaving the Gao family helpless." Pan Yue said.
The reason why Lin Haoming looked for Mei Sheng today was to ask about the Red Flame Army. When he saw the ferocious beast sent by Mr. Hei yesterday, Lin Haoming remembered the Red Flame Army on Chiyan Mountain. However, he had only heard that there were such a bandit in Chigang City, but he did not expect that there were grudges with the Gao family.
"Chang Zhongmou collects mountain fees, don't those hunters and herb collectors feel hated?" Lin Haoming asked back.
"Chang Zhongmou is still a very skilled person. In fact, in the past two hundred years, he has managed Chiyan Mountain very well. Although he has collected the mountain entrance fee, he has also ensured justice for those who enter the mountain as much as possible. So not only did no one hate him, but the people who do those things also protect him! Sir, you asked me so much in the morning. Could it be that the original intention of sir to know Chang Zhongmou?" Mei Sheng guessed.
Lin Haoming was indeed paying attention to the Red Flame Army. He thought that this bandit had been entrenched for three to five hundred years. If he could take it down, he would definitely get a considerable amount of wealth. In this way, the project funds for digging the canal were available, and the canal itself would also meander through the Chiyan Mountain. At that time, he would definitely solve this bandit problem. But now when he heard this, I am afraid that this matter is much more difficult than he thought.
Since he had the Merit Pearl, he has never been worried about money, but now he is worried. Lin Haoming naturally knows that he has a way to take out money and food, but he has no explanation for his money and food. When he dealt with Mr. Hei before, the situation was critical, and the second was a contract to restrain him. Now Lin Haoming is really feeling a little overwhelmed.
No matter what, Lin Haoming felt that he would discuss it with Feng Yuzhi first.
When I arrived at the city guard office in the afternoon, Feng Yuzhi was also busy with money.
Lin Haoming mentioned the purpose of his visit, and then he realized that Feng Yuzhi was also worthy of Chang Zhongmou's bandits, and even sent someone to surrender early in the morning. Unfortunately, this bandits seemed to be used to being wild and had no intention of being recruited. Chang Zhongmou himself was also a tough guy. On the way to make a fortune, he had done a lot of business without capital, but he finally got it.
After learning this news, Lin Haoming thought that anyway, this bandit must be solved, so he simply went to find Gao Liangsheng before talking.
Lin Haoming came to Gao Liangsheng alone. The reason why he did not go with Feng Yuzhi was because if there was a problem with him, Feng Yuzhi could still be reconciled.
Although Gao Liangsheng was in the Chengwei Yamen, it was already evening and after learning about Lin Haoming's purpose, he decided to invite Lin Haoming to his house without thinking much about it, and talk while eating.
When Lin Haoming saw that Gao Liangsheng took the initiative to invite him, he wondered whether this Gao Liangsheng planned to use him to get rid of Chang Zhongmou.
