"Go, go! Wu Zhi, they say that flies don't bite seamless eggs. As long as your egg is cracked, I have plenty of ways to kill you!"
"On the surface, the Sea Whale Gang is just a few hundred water bandits. But behind them, they are implicated by the entire Jiangdong noble family!"
After leaving the palace, Wu Zhi immediately got on his horse and rode out of the city with more than a dozen guards.
Wu Zhi actually just arrived in Hangzhou and was not familiar with the terrain here.
At the same time, there were no residences in Hangzhou, so Wu Zhi temporarily lived in a military camp with the 20,000 soldiers he brought over.
The location of the military camp is at Hushan in the north of Hangzhou.
As soon as Wu Zhi arrived, he surrounded an area nearby with a high fence, a sentry every fifty steps, and two archers on duty.
In this area, let alone birds, even a fly would not want to fly in.
Externally, Wu Zhi said that he had brought 20,000 elite troops.
In fact, all 20,000 people are new recruits.
Less than a month after gathering at Zhenshui Villa, these new recruits received a transfer order from Wu Zhi and quickly headed south to Hangzhou.
Due to the extremely strict confidentiality measures, no one can enter the military camp at will nowadays. Therefore, no one knows that the people in this military camp, which is filled with loud killings, are all teenagers aged fifteen or sixteen.
Wu Zhi had returned to the military camp and immediately called Bai Sheng and Shi Qian over.
As soon as the two people entered the camp, Wu Zhi waved to them.
There are not too many rules here in Wu Zhi, so the two quickly came to Wu Zhi's side.
Wu Zhi took the lead and asked Bai Sheng: "Have you ever heard of the Sea Whale Gang?"
Bai Sheng nodded first, and then said in a calm voice.
"The Sea Whale Gang has great power in the Taihu Lake area. In addition to selling private salt, they also do some work to annihilate their descendants."
"I know everything you said, but what I want to hear is something I have never heard of."
Bai Sheng naturally understands his eldest brother's requirements.
Normally, Wu Zhi would not ask about things like this, but now that he has asked, it means that this matter is definitely not a trivial matter.
Bai Sheng stood up quickly.
"Brother, I will set off immediately and personally lead people to investigate the Sea Whale Gang!"
Wu Zhi said: "You two go together, and you must be careful when investigating."
"Tear out every named member of the Sea Whale Gang and their ancestors for eighteen generations."
"yes!"
Shi Qian and Bai Sheng took action together, and the efficiency was very high.
On the one hand, it is because they are already familiar with the methods of gathering intelligence, and on the other hand, it is also because the Sea Whale Gang has done too many unreasonable things under the protection of Cai Jing.
It’s already too much to write about.
As long as you do a little research, you can immediately follow the clues.
Around noon the next day, Shi Qian came back first, compiled the information he had found into a thick document, and placed it on Wu Zhi's desk.
Wu Zhi just flipped through a few pages and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Although Ximen Qing and Wu Zhi have never dealt with each other, at least this time, the information he provided was very useful to Wu Zhi.
According to Bai Sheng and Shi Qian's investigation, the Sea Whale Gang's den of thieves is not on the edge of Taihu Lake, but in Taihu Lake.
However, there are many islands in Taihu Lake, which are unevenly distributed in size.
There are some islands that look as small as grains of rice on the map. Finding them in the vast Taihu Lake is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
After Wu Zhi finished reading them all, he raised his head and asked Shi Qian.
"This report says that there are more than 3,000 people in the Sea Whale Gang. Do these 3,000 people include the family members of those bandits?"
Shi Qian shook his head: "Brother, these more than three thousand people refer to thieves who can use knives to kill civilians!"
