A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 95 Worry-free Cave (additional update for first order 2400)
Although people swagger around in the streets every day, they are actually tight on the outside and tight on the inside. They have never been careless. There are always people on guard around them, and any disturbance cannot be hidden from their eyes and ears.

Many things are inconvenient for officials to do, and may even be counterproductive.

For example, during the current city blockade and raids, countless subordinate officials took advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters, using their hands to extort money from some shops and line their own pockets.

High-ranking officials like Gao Qiu would not dare to cheat on such matters, but the low-level officials didn't care at all.

They were too far away from the official family, and they resented being far away. They didn't want to be picked out and searched on the streets in the middle of the night.

They are more afraid of finding the assassin than getting rewarded for their merits after finding the assassin.

Because if they encounter a person who can't even be stopped by the Imperial Guard, there will only be one result. It's hard to say whether they can catch him or not, and they will definitely die.

No matter how good the reward is, it's just a life flower, and they don't want it at all.

As for the various urban foxes and social rats who are closely related to the government, it will be easier to find out information, and they will not move much and will not alert the target.

It is relatively safer to just check for information and not take responsibility for people.

Therefore, if any underworld boss is ordered to let his subordinates come out to find out information, and Li Gui and others are suspected, it is a very normal thing.

Thinking of this, Li Gui's eyes flashed fiercely, and he ordered: "Find a secluded place, take the person, and interrogate him to see how much they know."

The subordinates took the order and left. In the evening, they came back again and nodded quietly to Li Gui. Li Gui knew that the result had been achieved, turned around and went back to the house and asked:

"What was the result?"

The subordinate said with a strange expression: "Brother, we have misunderstood. Those rogues are not coming for us."

"Huh?" Li Gui felt relieved after hearing this, and couldn't help but joked: "Is it possible that you are really here to offer incense and worship Buddha?"

"That's not the case. This situation is more complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few words. It is more convenient for my brother to see it in person."

Li Gui was very curious, so he found an excuse and left the Daxiangguo Temple.

When they came to a secluded grove, several gangsters were watching outside. Li Gui said hello and walked in. He saw a few gangsters lying on the ground twitching, with all their teeth smashed, and their limbs bent. It couldn't be broken into shape, so it was obviously disabled.

This was within Li Gui's expectation and he didn't take it seriously, except that there was a sack next to him. The mouth of the sack had been opened, but there was an unconscious and beautiful woman lying inside.

"Brother, this woman is a pilgrim in the temple. She is the target of these scoundrels who are poking around and investigating. It has nothing to do with us."

"These gangsters secretly followed him, took advantage of his servants' unpreparedness, and kidnapped him unconscious. However, we accidentally caught him and rescued him."

Li Gui couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Then that's this lady's luck."

"I'll find a place where there are a lot of people and leave her there, and then I can go about my business when she wakes up."

"What's so complicated about this?"

Several subordinates looked at each other and said with a bitter smile:
"I asked a few more questions, but unexpectedly I got some shocking news."

"These people are not ownerless wild dogs, but belong to an organization called 'Ghost Fan Lou'."

"Listening to their confessions, this ghost Fanlou is so powerful that even the Kaifeng Mansion can't do anything to them."

"This ghost fanlou is hidden in Wuyou Cave and specializes in human trafficking."

"They specially select those women with good looks, kidnap and sell them to rich families as concubines. If they can't sell them, they keep them in underground drainage channels and do prostitution." "They also select young children and take them back. Teach and train them and use them as slaves. If they are disobedient, they will be harvested, cut off and used for begging."

"The government has also encircled and suppressed this 'Ghost Fan Tower', but they are hiding in the canals below the city. The terrain there is complicated. If you deliberately avoid it, it is really difficult to find their lair."

As soon as Li Gui heard the name "Ghost Fan Tower", he knew what was going on.

Bianliang City is located below the Yellow River, and flooding of the Yellow River was almost the norm in ancient times. In summer, nearby rivers and large rivers began to rise and pour into the city.

If Tokyo didn't have good underground channels for flood discharge and drainage, it would have been flooded long ago.

In order to ensure that the capital would not be flooded with water when it rained, and people would run into the streets to catch fish everywhere, the imperial court paid great attention to the issue of flood discharge in Kaifeng from the late Zhou Dynasty.

After Zhao Dahuangpao joined the army, he still designated Kaifeng as the capital, and building underground channels was one of the most important projects.

There is a folk song: "Kaifeng City, cities upon cities, there are several cities buried underground."

I don’t know how many people have made their capital here throughout the ages, so in addition to the channels underground in Bianliang City, there are also ancient cities from the Warring States Period.

Based on the ruins of these ancient cities, after several years of repairs, the underground of Bianliang City can not only be used for drainage and habitation, but also for horse racing.

At first, helpless people who could not survive came here to take refuge. Later, it gradually became a nest of criminals and was called "Worry Cave".

Guifanlou is the underworld organization hidden in Wuyou Cave. This group of people is very arrogant, and they even kidnapped and sold the clan girls, and the emperor couldn't do anything about them.

It mainly relies on the underground drainage system that extends in all directions under the city and can lead to anywhere in the city.

When Bao Zheng was the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, he tried to clear the money several times, but in the end he failed with little success.

Being entangled by people from Guifanlou in Tokyo is definitely a big trouble, but it may not be less trouble than provoking the government.

Especially since the identity of Li Gui and others has not yet been revealed, Gui Fanlou does not need to take action himself. As long as he leaks the identity of his assassin to the government, he can kill with a borrowed knife.

Li Gui looked down at the rogues on the ground and remained silent. The subordinates around him didn't speak either. They just looked at his brother and waited for Li Gui to make a decision.

After a while, Li Gui raised his head, smiled and cursed:

"Damn it!"

"This Wuyou Cave is connected in all directions and can lead to all parts of the city. Wouldn't it be a good place to transport troops?"

"I was worried about how to escape after saving my second uncle. With this underground passage, I have no worries!"

"This Wuyou Cave is destined to belong to someone, so it should belong to someone!"

"Children, let's go and seize this Worry-free Cave!"

All the subordinates were immediately overjoyed and raised their arms and shouted.

"it is good!"

"Brother is still a brother after all!"

"Let's go to the Wuyou Cave and kill all those thieves who can kill thousands of people!"

Everyone is gearing up to make a big fuss in Wuyou Cave.
