Even though it did not take long to find these servant girls, they were all people that Deputy General Shen was familiar with and reliable.
After giving instructions to the servant maids, Yan Poyue called Deputy General Shen into the study.
The sky was dim, and Yan Poyue sat behind his desk, his military uniform cold and aloof.""Tell me, have you found any clues about the matter I asked you to investigate?”
Deputy General Shen nodded slightly." Yes, after the Young Marshal instructed me today, Ma Liang and I began to investigate in private." Coincidentally, my father just came back from the countryside yesterday and I heard a strange thing from him.”
"Strange?" A suspicious smile appeared on Yan Poyue's cold face.""Tell me."
"There is a town called Willow Town in the north of Xiangtan," said Deputy General Shen in a low voice. There was a Fulai relay station in Willow Town. Because the relay station was close to the official road leading to Sand City, there were many customers coming and going. However, it was said that in the past six months, more than a dozen girls had gone missing in this relay station.”
More than a dozen girls had gone missing in half a year…
"Didn't the town's police station investigate?" Yan Poyue twirled his thumb ring.”
"I investigated, but I found nothing.”"There are rumors that the courier station is haunted, so the people living there will be eaten by evil spirits." However, in the past two months, people who passed by the relay station had also started to disappear. Many people had requested for the relay station to be closed. However, it was said that the courier station had a strong backing, so it had never closed. I heard from my father that a girl went missing last night, and it caused a huge commotion.”
Deputy General Shen did not say what he wanted to say next, but Yan Poyue understood in his heart.
In this era of war and chaos, dead people were no longer rare. Few people would investigate this matter.
Moreover, this inn…had a backer.
Yan Poyue was silent for a moment before he made a decision."Let's make a trip!"
It was indeed strange that more than ten girls had disappeared in a row.
Even if it wasn't a demon causing trouble, the mayor and bureau chief of Willow Town should be punished.
Although Yan Poyue didn't want to use the army to dominate the world, it didn't mean that there was someone who could do whatever he wanted under his nose.
After making up his mind, Yan Poyue got up and prepared to set off.
As soon as he walked out of the study, he saw Yan Jiaojiao standing under the flowering tree in the courtyard.
"Big brother, are you going out?"
Yan Jiaojiao looked at Yan Poyue as he walked out, and her beautiful eyes were filled with fear."Can I bring Jiaojiao along?"
Yan Poyue stopped and looked at the 12-year-old girl."I have some work to do, so I can't bring you along.”
Yan Jiaojiao didn't say anything. She just stared at Yan Poyue with her big eyes.
Deputy General Shen explained in a low voice,"Young Marshal, too many things have happened recently. Eldest Young Lady must have been frightened."”
After a moment of silence, Yan Poyue took out ten puppets and walked to Yan Jiaojiao.""Jiaojiao, do you trust Eldest Brother?"
Yan Jiaojiao nodded." I do. I only trust Big Brother now."”
Her father had been killed by evil spirits, and her mother had run away, leaving her behind. To Mu Jiaojiao, Yan Poyue was the only person she could rely on in her life.
"Then take these ten puppets. When you encounter danger, they will protect you.”"Are you not afraid now?" Yan Poyue patted her head.”
Yan Jiaojiao reached out to take it carefully and smiled at Yan Poyue.""Big brother, I believe you. You have to come back early.”
Yan Poyue nodded and walked out with Deputy General Shen.
He had already instructed the ten ghost soldiers to protect Yan Jiaojiao if she was in danger.
It was still early. Yan Poyue arrived at the military camp and first assigned a dozen people to protect the marshal's residence. Then, he selected another hundred people and headed for Willow Town.
Willow Town was not far from the city. It would take at most two hours to get there by horse. If they went over now, they would arrive before nightfall.
……
Although Willow Town wasn't too close to the city, the traffic was quite developed, and the town was developing quite well.
However…
Today, the residents of the town were not working or busy. Instead, most of them were gathered around the Fulai Post Station at the edge of the town.
In the middle of the crowd, there were a few young police officers. They were all holding guns in their hands and staring at an old lady with unfriendly eyes.
The old lady was in her sixties, and her face was worn out.
"Captain, I beg you to investigate. There must be something wrong with this relay station. Last night, my granddaughter came to Xiangtan and disappeared around this relay station!”
The old lady sobbed.
The security captain rubbed his hat impatiently and scolded,"You're making a scene. You've been making a scene for the entire afternoon. The road is so long. How do you know where your granddaughter went missing?”
"It must be the Fulai relay station. Many girls have gone missing in this relay station before!”the old lady said anxiously.
"Do you have any evidence?" The security captain sneered. Do you have evidence? Don't blame Fulai Courier Station for everything. They were doing business!”
The boss of Fulai Courier Station also nodded repeatedly."Yes…we're doing business properly. Don't slander us!”
"But there were many girls who went missing in the relay station before!”"Why didn't you close down this place?" the old lady asked anxiously.!”
" You old thing!" the security captain said angrily." I said it has nothing to do with the courier station, so it has nothing to do with it. Are you questioning my authority?" If you continue to spout nonsense, I will directly arrest you!”
Hearing this.
The surrounding onlookers couldn't stand it anymore and started to speak up for the injustice.
"There's definitely something wrong with this relay station. I suspect that the relay station is trafficking people. Your police should bring them to investigate!”
"Hmph, officials protect each other! He heard that the son of the courier station owner was the mayor, so Ah Mao definitely wouldn't dare to arrest him!”
"Ah Mao, you used to grow up in this area. Now that you're the security captain, can't you tell right from wrong?”
"If we don't investigate this matter clearly, we'll go to the city and tell the young marshal!”
“……”
Listening to the discussions around him, the security captain called Ah Mao immediately fired a shot into the sky and shouted,"What are you arguing about? All of you shut up! Whoever is talking nonsense, I will kill them! Do you think the young marshal has the time to care about you? Stop dreaming. The young commander is busy conquering the world now. All of you better behave yourself. Otherwise, I'll make sure you don't suffer!”
Hearing the gunshot, everyone immediately fell silent.
At this moment.
The sound of hooves suddenly came from behind the crowd, followed by a solemn voice that sounded like thunder."A mere security captain, what authority!”
*
P.S. Small explanation: In the zombie world, the warlords were very chaotic. Bullying, killing and arson were everywhere, so this kind of plot would appear.
In the movies, the police captain was called the security captain (for example, Ah Wei), so this was how he was called.
