The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 19 Water Bandits
After running fast for half a day, Shen Youzhi finally arrived at the pier.

After depositing the horses, he also successfully boarded the merchant ship to Yangzhou.

canal, merchant ship

"Guest, your meal."

Chuan Xiaoer shouted from outside the door.

squeak-

The door opened, and it was Shen Youzhi who lived inside.

Shen Youzhi took the food from the little second hand, and asked again: "Boater, how long will it take to arrive in Yangzhou?"

"Soon!" Xiao Er replied respectfully: "The wind is just going smoothly these few days, and it will probably arrive in less than two days."

Shen Youzhi nodded and said, "Thank you, you can go down first."

"Okay!" Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Then you eat first, and you can ask the younger one if you have anything to do."

After speaking, he turned his head and left, continuing to deliver meals to other guests.

boom--

Shen Youzhi closed the door.

During the time on board, he had already planned his future itinerary.

According to the original book, the lair of the Iron Hands is extremely secretive. Except for Yuan Qi, only the high-level members of the Iron Hands, such as Longfeng Huyun, know about it.

But these people are full-time killers, and they will appear wherever there is a mission.

Finding them is just a matter of luck, like finding a needle in a haystack.

But fortunately, there is a person who is not only closely related to the Iron Hands, but also often active in the rivers and lakes, and has his own industry.

This person is the owner of Crouching Tiger Villa, Ge Tianba.

This man was born as a water bandit, and later he became bigger and bigger. He not only established Crouching Tiger Manor, but also raised hundreds of water bandits to intercept and kill passing merchants.

It wasn't until Ying Wang Yuanqi planned the shipwreck case in Hangou that all the water bandits under him were recruited by the Iron Hands to help them penetrate the official ship carrying salt and make it look like the official ship capsized.

Barring accidents, these things should happen ten years later.

At this moment, Ge Tianba is still the leader of water bandits dominating one side.

However, just because he was able to establish such a large foundation in Yangzhou, the relationship between him and King Ying must be extraordinary.

Yangzhou is King Ying's territory, without his permission, it is impossible for anyone to entangle hundreds of water bandits and control more than a dozen waterways.

If Ge Tianba hadn't been loyal to Yuan Qi, he would never have survived.

Therefore, Shen Youzhi can use Ge Tianba as a clue to follow the clues to find the lair of the Iron Hands.

After all, Iron Hands is hard to find, but Crouching Tiger Village is easy to find!
With such a big Zhuangzi, he can know the exact location with a little inquiring.

Afterwards, Shen Youzhi hastily ate his meals, and performed another set of health-preserving punches to eliminate his food, and then he fell asleep in peace.

Two days later

Indeed, as Chuan Xiaoer said, the wind has been smooth these few days, and the merchant ship has arrived at Yangzhou Wharf as scheduled.

Yangzhou
Under Shen worry, he got off the merchant ship and found a nearby inn to stay.

The boat was bumpy for several days, so naturally it took a while to recuperate.

There will be a fierce battle ahead, if you don't rest well, there is no guarantee that you won't capsize in the gutter.

"Little brother."

As soon as Shen Youzhi entered the guest room, he stopped Xiao Er and asked, "Have you heard of Crouching Tiger Town?"

The location of Crouching Tiger Manor has been explained in the original book, it is [-] miles southeast of Crouching Tiger Town, facing Luanyun Mountain, backed by Hongze Lake, covering an area of ​​[-] hectares.

Although it is impossible for Shen Youzhi to remember such details, he also knows that Crouching Tiger Manor is in Crouching Tiger Town.

"Crouching Tiger Town?" Xiao Er was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course the small ones in Crouching Tiger Town know about it.

There is Crouching Tiger Manor over there, which is very powerful! "

"The guest officer is going to Crouching Tiger Town?" The second brother lowered his voice and persuaded: "It's not a good place to go there!
I heard that there are water bandits everywhere, no matter who gets there, they will have to peel off their skins! "

Shen Youzhi heard the words and said with a smile: "I just want to relax my muscles and bones!"

"This..." Xiaoer suddenly became dumb, and said: "Alright then! If you insist on going, you can walk a hundred miles east and you will see Hongze Lake, where Crouching Tiger Town is."

"Thank you!" Shen Youzhi replied.

"Ugh!"

Seeing him thanking him, the second brother sighed, shook his head again, and left helplessly.

These years, it is not that there is no trouble for the heroes of the world who want to find Crouching Tiger Manor, but they still dominate Yangzhou?
This young man doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, and he actually wants to find the bad luck of Crouching Tiger Village. I'm afraid there will be another dead body at the bottom of Hongze Lake!

The next day, Shen Youzhi settled the rent early in the morning, and then went straight to Crouching Tiger Town, Hongze Lake.

Hongze Lake

A small boat is slowly sailing in the middle of the lake.

Standing with his sword in his arms, Shen Youzhi stood at the bow of the boat, observing the sparkling water surface of Hongze Lake.

"Young man, what are you going to do for a living when you come to Hongze Lake?"

The boatman asked while rowing his oars.

Shen Youzhi heard the words and replied with a smile: "Kill the tiger!"

The boatman was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then said sadly: "This Hongze Lake is all water towns, where did the tigers come from?"

"Are there no vicious tigers in the water town?" Shen Youzhi asked back.

bass--

Shen Youzhi pulled out the sword about an inch, and observed the movement of the boatman on the other side by the reflection of the sword.

"If the tiger can enter the water, even the dragon may not be its opponent!" The boatman threatened.

"With the sword in my hand, I can kill dragons and tigers!"

Shen Youzhi remained unmoved.

"Hehe." The boatman sneered: "Young man, you have to pay a price for being high-spirited!"

"Can the evil tiger retreat by begging for mercy?"

Shen Youzhi said tit for tat.

He has already discovered that there are at least a dozen water bandits hidden under the water, all of whom are master swimmers who have mastered the turtle's breathing technique.

If it wasn't for his profound internal strength and sharp eyes and ears, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to find the traces of these people.

As soon as the words are spoken, the murderous intent will come.

The boatman jumped into the water without saying a word.

Afterwards, Shen Youzhi felt that the boat under his feet began to shake violently, as if being pushed back and forth by a dozen pairs of big hands.

Fortunately, his foundation was solid and his foot was steady, so he was not bumped down.

Seeing that this plan failed, more than a dozen water bandits suddenly rushed out from the water, each of them threw a rope, trying to drag Shen Youzhi into the water.

Seeing this, Shen Youzhi first threw a heavy drop to shake away the water bandits who were rocking the boat underwater, stabilized the hull, and then moved around the narrow bow of the boat to avoid the water bandits' ropes.

Snapped--

Shen You stretched out one hand, grabbed one of the ropes, and then pulled violently, pulling out the water bandits lurking in the water.

Just after the man was pulled out of the water, Shen Youzhi swung his right arm, wrapping the rope firmly around the man's neck, and then slammed forward again, throwing the water bandit completely Go out a few feet away.

Then, he tapped his feet, and the whole person flew out of the small boat.

thump--

The water bandit fell into the water from the air, and floated up slowly after a while.

Being wrapped around the neck and thrown out several feet with brute force, this person is naturally dead and cannot die anymore.

Snapped--

Shen Youzhi stepped steadily on the water bandit's body floating on the water, and took advantage of this little buoyancy to rise into the air again.

While he was in the air, he flicked the rope in his hand again, and threw the water bandit's body several feet away.

After repeating this, with the help of this human pedal, Shen Youzhi quickly returned to the shore.

The water bandits in the lake never expected that someone in the world could cross the river in this way.

Just as they were struggling to swim to the shore, Shen Youzhi had already used his lightness kung fu and headed straight for Crouching Tiger Manor.
