Space-time SWAT

Thousands of miles away in the southeast of Nancheng, there is an oasis with a radius of a hundred miles. The city of Baihua City built in the central area is relatively large in scale, with more than 20 permanent residents.

The environment here is better than other places. It is like spring all year round, the land is fertile, and there are several water sources. Therefore, rice, wheat, vegetables, fruits, flowers and other plants grow very well.There are green plants and flowers everywhere in the city. Even in the middle of winter, the city is still full of flowers.The farmlands outside the city are lush and lush, and crops such as winter wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, radishes, and cabbage are growing well, and it looks like another bumper harvest season.

Such a beautiful scene can only make ordinary civilians feel a little less pressure, but slaves have to bear more heavy labor.Those who are really happy are probably only those nobles and wealthy citizens.

After nightfall, the sky is dark and unclear.There are faintly thousands of stars in the night, but they are covered by heavy clouds, making them appear even more distant than normal.

Banzhou looked around.It was past midnight, and on such a not-so-busy street, not only were there no pedestrians, even the rented animal carts were hard to see.He subconsciously quickened his pace, wanting to hail a taxi and return to Vaharamipon's house.

Originally, he thought that the conflict that had happened a few days ago could be resolved, but it was not the case.Judging from the increasingly tense situation in the past two days, perhaps hurrying up and leaving here is the only way to survive.

Banzhou is not a fool who pretends to be a hero.If you can't win, you will withdraw. This is the principle that his father taught him when he was a child, and he has never forgotten it.

This is the lower civilian area, there are no entertainment venues.The street was very quiet, the doors and windows of the two-bedroom low wooden houses were all closed, and there was no light, only the sound of his unhurried footsteps could be heard softly.He is calm and unafraid of the worst possible scenario that lies ahead.

As soon as he reached the intersection, a beast cart suddenly drove up and stopped in front of him.He took a closer look, then smiled, "Changda, are you here to pick me up?"

"Yes." Changda is not yet 30 years old, wearing coarse brown shorts and trousers, with a medium build and ordinary appearance, only a pair of eyes that occasionally reveal shrewd wit, which is completely different from Ban Zhou's tall and handsome appearance.He was wearing a black wide-brimmed hat, covering half of his face. At this time, he looked up at the well-dressed Banzhou, and said lightly, "Shu Xing asked me to pick you up. Anyway, I charge you, as long as the guests can afford it." , You can also go through mountains of swords and seas of fire. I heard that you are so brave for a few brothers and the direct descendants of the Ximen family."

Banzhou shrugged his shoulders, "I know that there are not many noble families who are easy to provoke, but if you dare to bully my brother, you must provoke them if you don't want to."

Chanda gave a thumbs up, "Like a man." Then he waved his hand, "Get in the car."

Banzhou walked over, put his hands on the shaft of the car, and got on the car lightly.Chang Da flicked the reins, turned a corner at the intersection, and left quickly.

The wheels rolled over the flat stone road, heading towards the wealthy area where rich businessmen and good people live.The beast's hooves stepped on the road, making a rhythmic rattling sound.

Chang Da said flatly: "Shu Xing was on duty tonight, and found that someone was checking your information in the city guard just now, about half an hour ago."

"Oh?" Banzhou was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, "I have never committed any crimes, I am neither a dangerous person nor have any criminal records, how could the city guard have information about me?"

Chanda said in an orderly manner, "Your information is recorded in the city guards because they included you as an eyewitness when they investigated the theft of the property of Vaharamibol's house, so they recorded it."

Banzhou understood.The so-called basic information is probably name, age, gender, occupation, place of origin, purpose of coming to Hundred Flowers City, etc.Among these information, only "Visit Zhaoping Chieftain Wahalamibol" is useful, and the others are worthless.

He thought for a while, "Isn't it normal to check someone's information inside the city guard? Isn't the person who inquired about the information a case handler of the city guard?"

"Yes, he is not, but an outsider who sneaked in quietly." Changda said very flatly, "After he sneaked into the city guard, he only retrieved your information, and also inquired about Xingyu, Xingji, and Xingchao. There are three people, but their brother has no record in the city guard, so that person quickly retreated, and none of the night guards of the city guard could catch him."

"Oh?" Banzhou's heart moved, "I remember that the house of Vahara Mipon was stolen, and the thief sneaked in at night."

"Yeah, maybe there's something to it, maybe it's a breakthrough in the case. Shu Xing has already sent someone to report to Zuo Ling, and he also informed me." Chang Da glanced at him.

Banzhou was a little excited, "It doesn't matter if you check me, as long as it makes them show their fox tails, it will be worth it."

Chanda was infected by his emotions, his voice was no longer cold, but also warmed up, "Nevertheless, you still have to be more careful. There is not much progress in the theft of Vaharami Pong's house, but at least we know that this The matter has a lot to do with several noble families in the city. You and your brothers are involved, and you will be in great trouble. If several small families join hands to deal with you, you will be even more dangerous."

Taking a deep breath, Banzhou said, "I understand. Thank you."

Chang Da said nonchalantly: "You're welcome, just remember to pay."

"I can't forget it, don't worry." Ban Zhou hesitated, "Is the Vahara Mipon family safe now?"

"It should be safe." Chanda asked him, "Have you met Mr. Aoki?"

"I've seen it." Banzhou sighed softly, "He has already visited the boss of the Golden Rice Association, and asked them to come forward to coordinate and help us resolve this matter. But they refused. They think that in this matter , both of us are responsible, the Wugu Gang does not follow the rules in business, and we cannot be regarded as victims when we beat people and smash things. Therefore, they will not intervene in this matter. However, he assured Mr. Aoki that they would not Any force is allowed to kidnap, beat or even kill people on their territory. That is to say, they are willing to protect the private house of Chieftain Wahalamipon, which is already for the sake of Mr. Aoki."

"That's good." Changda smiled, "I've already expected the reaction of the Jindaohui. It's also a fact. Both of you are indeed not victims now. Takiyama wants to seek revenge from you. From their point of view , but blood for blood, tooth for tooth, it's a matter of course."

Banzhou sighed, "When will there be justice in this world?"

Chang Da glanced at him, "Don't be naive. How can there be fairness and justice in the world? Only that idiot Shu Xing would believe it. Whoever has the hardest fist and the most powerful will have the loudest voice. Not even the royal family Being oppressed by those nobles? Who would believe in fairness and justice?"

Banzhou's face was a bit ugly, and he raised his hand to wipe his face, and soon recovered his calm, and laughed at himself: "So, we are not as good as Shuxing."

Shu Xing, who has joined the City Guard for ten years, has always been a passionate young man. Even after witnessing countless injustices, he is not discouraged, and his body is full of positive energy.In the past, he had arrested noble lords several times when handling cases, and he knew their viciousness and cruelty very well, but he never flinched.If it wasn't for the fact that the city guards were the direct descendants of the city lord, those nobles would not have dared to kill this young man who was highly valued by the commander. He was afraid that the grass on the grave would be three feet high.

Now that Banzhou and his brothers are in trouble, he is only worried about their safety and keeps helping them secretly.Since this friend who had known him for less than two months insisted on fighting the other party, he naturally supported him and enthusiastically suggested, "You can ask Changda for help. You can hire him at your own expense. Although it is a bit expensive, he is very good." There is a way."

At that time, Banzhou laughed out loud and said sincerely: "Shu Xing, thank you!"

He is really grateful from the bottom of his heart.He had known Shu Xing not long ago, but after his confession was rejected, he said a few empathetic words to comfort him, and at the same time urged him not to give up pursuing Changda, that money fanatic, even without any sincerity, he was introduced as his confidant , and help him with all his strength regardless of the danger in this situation, and often encourage him enthusiastically, "Come on!"

Thinking about Shu Xing, he looked at Changda, who had an open eye for money and loved money like his life, "Put justice and everything aside, we can't control it. But don't worry, just because you dare to pick me up at this time, you won't be in trouble." It will make you lose money."

Changda didn't care about Banzhou's ridicule, "Why don't you dare? I like money, you know it. It's a great thing to be able to help others, disgust those noble lords, and make money at the same time." .It’s better than working hard and earning nothing, and only getting a few dry thanks.”

"Yes." Banzhou agreed, and then remembered the big business he had taken over, "The theft of the Vaharamipon family is also said to be related to a certain noble family. Someone sneaked into the city guard again tonight to check my information You said, is this related? Do you have any new developments in that case?"

Chanda's face suddenly became tense, "I got some news, it seems to be related to Puhara Tenggang."

When Banzhou heard the name, he knew that this person belonged to the Nanyi tribe just like Wahalami Peng.Beidi, Xirong, Nanyi, and Dongman are the collective names of the minority tribes living outside the towns in the four major regions of east, west, north, and south.Their names all come from the traditional customs of the tribe, which are completely different from the naming rules of major towns.

Banzhou's mind was spinning rapidly, "Tell me about Puhala Tenggang. Who is he? What power does he have? What's his experience? What's his character?"

Chanda glanced at him, "The information also requires money."

Banzhou happily said, "How much? I'll pay."

"I'll give you a discount, so-so, 1 taels of silver." He asked for the price.

Banzhou paid back the money on the spot, "100 taels."

Chanda was furious, "Don't even think about it!"

A happy smile appeared on Banzhou's lips, "Then I'll ask Shuxing."

Chanda was taken aback, and then remembered that Shuxing knew the situation of Puhala Tenggang very well, and he would never ask Banzhou for a copper coin, so he had to compromise, "Okay, one hundred is one hundred, it's a friendship price." And then Reach out to him.

Banzhou took out his wallet, took out a hundred taels of silver note, patted it in his hand, and couldn't help but said, "Why don't you change your name to death?"

Chang Da stuffed the banknote into his pocket and sneered, "What's wrong with asking for money? Don't you like money?"

Banzhou disdains, "Of course I like money, but I won't go to the point where my relatives don't recognize me."

"Dear?" Changda sneered, "My relatives will sell you for money."

Banzhou was silent, and after a while, he looked at him in surprise, "What? Have you been betrayed by your relatives?"

"Almost." Chanda obviously didn't want to discuss this topic, and immediately introduced him to the situation of Puhala Tenggang.

Puhara Tenggang, male, 29 years old this year, is currently one of the candidates for the young master of the Miki Association.His origin is unknown, his parents died when he was young, he wandered around the city as a beggar, and was later adopted by the boss of the Sanmu Society, and brought him up with him.

Sanmuhui is a small group originally organized by loggers spontaneously. At first, it was only to help each other, so that they can struggle to survive in a difficult life, and they will not be bullied by their employers.Over time, Sanmuhui will gradually deteriorate. When the trees are cut down, the land becomes desertified, and the loggers become more difficult to make a living, they will gradually change from workers to thieves.Sanmuhui has also become a well-known theft gang in the city, but on the surface they have some shops as cover, and their methods are so clever that the city guards and arresting yamen can't catch them, so they can't do anything about them.

Puhara Fujioka practiced stealing techniques since he was a child, while watching out for adult thieves, stepping on the spot, breaking the back, finishing, disturbing the line of sight, diverting the target, and so on.He made his debut at the age of 15 and officially became a thief. He was arrested, admonished, and detained by the city guards many times, and was convicted and imprisoned many times.It is said that after he was released from prison at the age of 21, by chance, he rescued a reclusive thief, so he worshiped him as his teacher and learned many brilliant theft skills.

At the age of 23, he turned from petty theft to robber, specializing in antiques and gold and silver jewelry.In the past six years, he committed many major theft cases and became the key investigation target of the City Guards.Because of his skillful tactics, the city guards have insufficient evidence, so far they have not been able to bring him to justice.

Because of his own experience, he never harmed the interests of the lower class civilians, and even donated money to charity, providing food, clothing and temporary shelter to street children and beggars, and helping them survive the winter safely.The targets he strikes are either rich or noble, and when he strikes, he often chooses when the master is not at home. He has injured people before, but never fatally.

His greatest weakness is his lust for drinks, his love of hanging around nightclubs, and hunting beauties.However, he has never brought women home, and only kept them outside, or directly spent money on brothels. He is a famous vagabond, who is merciful everywhere, but never affectionate.

After listening to his life experience, Banzhou admired him, "It's a legendary life."

"That's right." Changda looked coldly, "Many criminals are often geniuses. It's just that the more talented they are, the greater the danger."

"Well, it makes sense." Banzhou agreed casually, and then fell into deep thought.

Changda waited for a while, seeing that he had been silent, he couldn't help but glance at him, "Hey, what are you thinking?"

Ban Zhou turned to look at him, "What?"

"Nothing." Chanda waved his hand, "If there is no other business to discuss, let's say goodbye. Good luck!"

"What's the rush?" Banzhou laughed, "If I can let you enter the old lair of Puhala Tenggang, are you interested in this business?"

Chanda looked skeptical, "Just you?"

"Yes, it's just me." Banzhou said confidently, "According to your introduction, Puhala Tenggang has made a lot of money in the past six years. Let's go to his lair and see if we can find the money he stole from Vaharami Pong. If there are other suitable things, we might as well borrow them and use them. Anyway, they are ill-gotten gains, easy to come by, I don’t think he will mind.”

Changda became interested, and laughed, "Okay, let's find a safe place, sit down and have a good talk."
