Chapter 499 You Might as Well Check Zhangjia Village as Well



The leader of Gugui Village bowed to Mochuan and said seriously: "Not long after you went in, we found thieves sneaking around the forbidden area. But they disappeared very quickly, and we couldn't find where they went. Now we see that they sneaked in!"

"But it doesn't matter. We have deployed personnel in the two places we have discovered. No matter where they flee from, we can capture them!" A person at the back vowed.

Someone said harshly: "They caused us so much trouble and almost caused a disaster. We will never let them get away this time!"

Lin Wu said calmly, "You might as well check the residents of Zhangjia Village as well."

Everyone was stunned.

Several eyes fell on her at the same time.

Luan Zhi's expression behind him changed slightly.

Lin Wu said: "When I was in Zhangjia Village before, I found that something was wrong with them. Later, when I went to my master's place and saw you, I vaguely felt that the villagers of Zhangjia Village were not like Miao people compared to the other villagers in the Thirty-Six Villages."

"Perhaps, the Zhangjia Village today is no longer the real Zhangjia Village, but the accomplice of the thief you want to catch."

"Of course, this is just my guess. You need to send someone to verify it. If it is true, you can avoid trouble in time."

Everyone in the Thirty-Six Villages froze and looked at each other. Suddenly, one person whistled toward the sky.

In response to the call, several nimble and beautiful birds with bright feathers flew out from the woods.

Seeing this, Gu Siyin and others became even more confused.

Lin Wu winked at Mo Chuan.

Mo Chuan did not reject her this time. He glanced at the people from the Thirty-Six Villages and said, "Then what are you still standing there for? Why don't you go? I don't need you here anymore."

After a pause, he added: "Let's solve the problem in Zhangjia Village as soon as possible. I will be there in the evening."

"Yes!" The people from the Thirty-Six Villages responded quickly and turned to the southeast of the forest.

But there were still two people who stayed and looked at Mochuan respectfully.

Mo Chuan ignored them and said to Lin Wu, "Nearby, there is a residence built by the Thirty-Six Villagers in the early years. Let's go there and rest first."

Lin Wu nodded.

Mo Chuan then turned around, and the two people waiting hurriedly led the way.

"Let's go and follow them." Lin Wu turned around and said to Gu Siyin and others, while walking forward.

Several people followed.

Luan Zhi gave Zheng Mingxian to Guan Chen to carry on his back, stretched his shoulders, and quickly walked to Lin Wu and asked, "Why do you think there is something wrong with the villagers of Zhangjia Village?"

The people behind looked up when they heard the sound.

Lin Wu put his hands in his pockets and said calmly: "Didn't you tell me that?"

"I??"

Luan Zhi was stunned.

Lin Wu said: "I ran into you when you were meeting the head of Zhangjia Village."

Luan Zhi was slightly startled and opened his mouth to explain something, but when he met Lin Wu's gaze, he was speechless.

"I just thought Zhangjia Village was strange before, and I really didn't think much about it. After seeing you meeting with the village chief, I figured it out a little. Besides, didn't the Huo family come unexpectedly fast this time? I didn't find so many traces of the Huo family nearby before, so how did they avoid me and suddenly appear?"

"I thought about it again and again, and the only possibility is that they are hiding right under my nose - in Zhangjia Village. So -"

Lin Wu tilted his head and asked Guan Chen, "The Huo family camp you went to, was it underground, with many tunnels leading to unknown places?"

Guan Chen was startled, then nodded: "I was blindfolded when I went there and when I came out, so I don't know the exact location. But according to my estimation, it should be at most one mountain away from Zhangjia Village. If it's underground, it's even closer."

"Those passages should be unusual, right? Have they existed for many years, like those left over from the war in the last century?" Lin Wu asked.

Guan Chen hummed.

"That's right. There are many underground tunnels in Lingnan that were used to store military supplies and hide during wartime. They have been abandoned for many years and no one has ever visited them. It is very convenient for the Huo family to use such a place as a camp, and it can also allow them to avoid the Thirty-Six Villages."

"Later they should have expanded it so that it could directly connect to a place not far from Zhangjia Village, making it easier to communicate. If my guess is correct, the family of the Zhangjia Village chief disappeared without a trace so quickly three years ago because of this." Lin Wu said.

Luan Zhi was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes. But how did you find out there was an underground tunnel?"

"You are the owner of a funeral business and an assistant of the Huo family. I am lucky enough that I don't take advantage of your misfortune in front of the Thirty-Six Villages. Do you think I will tell you everything?" Lin Wu said.

The people behind were shocked again when they heard this.

Gu Siyin immediately stepped forward and stood between him and Lin Wu, holding the knife vigilantly at him.

Luan Zhi glanced at Lin Wu and suddenly stopped. "You are right. You and I are still sworn enemies. In that case, I should leave. Lin Wu, I hope that next time we meet, you can say to me, 'Long time no see'."

After saying this, he turned around and walked in another direction.

"Just let him go like that?" Bai Jing asked.

Ren Ke drew his sword: "Lin Wu, I can give you a free order and help you solve the problem, so as to avoid major incidents."

Lin Wu glanced at Luan Zhi's back as he walked away without looking back, and said, "No need, let him go."

Mochuan in front also stopped and urged him to catch up.

He also saw Luan Zhi leaving, but he didn't care. He just glanced at Lin Wu and turned around and continued walking.

Lin Wu and his men followed.

"So, how did you discover the underground tunnel?" Han Yuesong asked.

Lin Wu was too lazy to say more: "Zheng Yuan."

Zheng Yuan responded and looked at Han Yuesong. "Captain Han, I borrowed your name and stayed with the people you sent to work with Mr. Zheng for a few days. I also followed them to the road with the hidden river that No. 49 discovered."

Han Yuesong: “???”

Zheng Yuan continued to talk to himself, "I went in with them and found that there were suddenly many rotten corpses. After reporting it to the master, he asked me to do two things, one of which was to find out what was going on with those rotten corpses."

"From the degree of decay, they are several decades old. I found some barely recognizable cloth and asked someone to examine it. We roughly determined the age and found out that there used to be an underground tunnel here. At that time, in order to ensure food and water supply, some of the underground tunnels were connected to an underground river."

"Many people died in it during the war. When the Huo family used it as a camp, they probably just dealt with it hastily. In the end, they slowly floated out along the underground river and only saw the light of day now."

Several people were stunned. They didn't expect this to be the case.

Han Yuesong barely reacted and noticed a point: "Ms. Lin, you have already sent people to hide next to our people?"

"Earlier, Zheng Jingmin suddenly asked us how his son was. We said he was fine for the time being, but he didn't believe us at the time and forced us to rescue his son as soon as possible. Could it be that you did this too?!"

Lin Wu: “What do you think?”

Han Yuesong: “?!”

He felt that way!!

"Who are you looking at like that?" Gu Siyin was unhappy. "My sister is still so young, and you are not as smart and thoughtful as her. You should be ashamed. Thank my sister for teaching you a lesson, and don't do it again next time."

Han Yuesong: “???”

Why don't you listen to what you are talking about! Bai Jing coughed twice and changed the subject before Han Yuesong could accuse him: "What is the second thing?"

Zheng Yuan looked at the people from the thirty-six villages ahead and lowered his voice: "I kidnapped the head of Zhangjia Village in advance and interrogated them to find out a road used by the Huo family. Then I spread the news about the road to the secret river, which was enough for the Huo family to know. Finally, I led the people from the thirty-six villages to pay attention to those two sides before I went in, and waited for them."

"? You kidnapped the head of Zhangjia Village?" Bai Jing frowned. "But the people from the Thirty-Six Villages are going to Zhangjia Village to cause trouble. They will know once they ask. Isn't this causing trouble for Lin Wu?"

"No." Zheng Yuan said.

Several people: “?”

Zheng Yuan: "The village chief didn't return to the village. I threatened that I had mastered everything and would kill his entire family. He ran to the Huo family for help. Calculating the time, he should have almost reached the contact point near the Huo family camp. Someone also helped him leave traces along the way. The people from the Thirty-Six Villages will look for him."

The air was still.

Zheng Yuan looked at Lin Wu and said slowly: "Master, I did one more thing."

Lin Wu: “What?”

Zheng Yuan: "I disguised myself as a member of the Huo family and drugged the rivers that are commonly used by several villages in the Thirty-Six Villages. They are just laxatives and sleeping pills, no one will die, but I don't know who is so lucky. The clothes used are the clothes of the dead person from the Huo family that Miss Bai and Mr. Bai found a few days ago. I guarantee that someone has seen it and will not make a mistake."

The air was completely quiet.

Lin Wu said calmly: "I'll give you a raise and a half-month vacation."

Zheng Yuan: “…No need for a vacation.” Given the master’s temper, he probably wouldn’t be so kind as to simply give him a vacation.

Gu Siyin and others were hesitant to speak.

"We're here." Mochuan stopped in front, and the Thirty-Six Villages raised a reminder.
