Chapter 650 Capturing the Minion Leader Alive
Boom!
A gust of wind swept up the bandit's body and slammed him heavily in front of Jin Lingfeng.
The latter casually stepped on Ma Shaojie's head, with a pile of corpses behind him.
The rat demon couple smashed the lizard into pieces; the battle started quickly and ended just as quickly.
Ye Kang put away the Wind Roller and looked at Jin Lingfeng, his expression slightly shocked.
This guy looks so unreliable, but his strength is truly terrifying.
These experts from the Six Palaces were like clay chickens and earthen dogs in front of him, unable to last even half a round.
This is the difference in background. In front of Jin Lingfeng, the Six Palaces, who came from a small place, are no threat at all.
Jin Lingfeng smiled and waved a rope to tie up the seriously injured bandit.
He then said, "Not bad, you've scared me again. You actually managed to defeat a martial artist of the sixth level, even though you had a spiritual treasure to help you. It's still unbelievable."
Ye Kang said, "You flatter me, sir. I am far inferior to you."
"Nonsense. If my old man hadn't been forcing me to practice martial arts, I wouldn't have bothered with this."
Ye Kang remained noncommittal, at which point the system beeped.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Capture the minor leader of White Bone Ridge alive]
[Task Reward: 300000 Comprehension Points]
The comprehension has been gained.
Ye Kang turned to look at the rat demon couple, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Two humanoid mice, one yellow and one red, embraced and wept, then bowed to Ye Kang in unison.
"Thank you so much, my savior, for saving my wife!"
Ye Kang shook his head: "There's no need for thanks, it's just a transaction. Feng Gunzhu is mine now."
"Of course, we will flee immediately and venture into the depths of the desert. Take care, my benefactor."
"Take care of yourself."
After Ye Kang finished speaking, the two rat demons immediately transformed into a gust of wind and left.
Jin Lingfeng suddenly realized: "Oh! You brat, you dare to lie to me! You're clearly after the treasure in the rat demon's hands!"
Ye Kang blinked, pretending not to hear, and instead asked, "Where should these two people be locked up?"
Jin Lingfeng didn't care. Although the Wind Roller Beads were precious, they were just a trivial trinket to him.
He thought for a moment and said, "Of course we'll bring him back to Windbreak Valley, but before that, I need to interrogate him first."
With a kick of his right foot, Ma Shaojie rolled over like a dead dog, his face already covered in bruises.
He was completely terrified when he heard the words "Wind's Breath Valley".
"Who the hell are you!"
Jin Lingfeng smiled wickedly: "I am Jin Lingfeng, a border guard captain."
"What……"
Ma Shaojie wasn't stupid; as the son of the county magistrate, he certainly knew of Jin Lingfeng's existence.
For the same reason, he immediately knew something was wrong, and his face turned ashen.
"Captain Jin! Please spare me! I was blinded by greed, I didn't mean it! If you let me go, I'll give you 100,000 spirit crystals!"
Jin Lingfeng's eyes widened: "A county magistrate, and his family actually has 100,000 spirit crystals? You guys are pretty good at making money, aren't you?"
Ma Shaojie realized he had misspoke and immediately stammered, unsure of what to do.
Jin Lingfeng squatted down and whispered, "Tell me, what is your relationship with the bandits of White Bone Ridge? Perhaps I can plead for you and let you be a witness against the incriminating evidence."
"And you."
Jin Lingfeng turned to look at the desert bandits who looked utterly desperate.
"The more you say now, the less you'll suffer later. You know how the court can be; you can't withstand that."
After those two sentences, Ma Shaojie and the bandits' psychological defenses collapsed instantly.
"I'll talk! I'll talk! I'm just a minor leader in White Bone Ridge. Our boss and Magistrate Ma are lovers. I'm here on the boss's orders!"
"mistress?"
Ye Kang and Jin Lingfeng were both stunned.
They had considered the possibility of a power-for-money transaction, but they never expected it to be this kind of relationship.
The two men looked at Ma Shaojie at the same time. The young man was completely desperate, muttering, "That woman was from a respectable family before, and only later became a bandit..."
Upon hearing this, the two suddenly realized what was going on.
Oh, I see. That explains it. They were old flames.
"So Magistrate Ma has been in cahoots with White Bone Ridge quite a bit, right?"
"I have no idea……"
Jin Lingfeng nodded, took the rope, and dragged the two of them across the sand.
"Let's go back. Now I have a legitimate reason to go to the insect fighting arena."
Ye Kang looked helpless.
Indeed, even if the Marquis were to question him now, Jin Lingfeng could say that he went to the insect fighting arena to endure hardship in order to investigate the case.
Three-dimensional defense is a type of defense.
The two disposed of all the corpses and signs of battle, and then swaggered back to Windbreak Valley.
Of course, both Ma Shaojie and the bandits were masked to conceal their presence, so as not to alert the enemy.
When everyone in Windbreak Valley saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded.
"When did the captain leave?"
"My God! Commander Ye is actually following behind the captain!"
"Could it be that Commander Ye has already gained the captain's favor!"
Countless people were shocked, but only Shi Motong knew the inside story.
But she was also puzzled: how come these two people brought back two kidnapped people after going to Blackfire Town?
Soon, Jin Lingfeng summoned all the generals and adjutants of Fengxi Valley, including the three commanders and instructor Li Ben.
In front of everyone, he revealed the collusion between the magistrate of Blackfire Town and White Bone Ridge.
Everyone was taken aback, then looked at each other in bewilderment.
A clerk cautiously said, "Captain, this matter should be handled by the Three Offices. Shouldn't we prepare the statements and escort the witnesses to the Three Offices?"
"Get lost! Why should the clues I discovered benefit the Three Departments?"
The clerk immediately shrank back, meekly saying, "Your Excellency, please reconsider. If this matter bypasses the Three Offices, it would be an overreach of authority..."
"Nonsense! I haven't even questioned the Three Offices for neglecting their duties and allowing the bandits and officials to collude! We must handle this matter ourselves. Once we have the evidence and witnesses, we should hand it over to the Three Offices and help them investigate."
Seeing that Jin Lingfeng had made up his mind, the document writer could say nothing more.
Li Ben whispered, "Sir, the matter of Ku Yue hasn't been resolved yet. That old man is resentful and definitely won't let us mobilize on a large scale."
"That's true."
Jin Lingfeng said, quite annoyed, "Didn't you hire a master? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Li Ben looked aggrieved: "Sir, even if we go fast, it still takes some time to travel. We probably won't arrive until tomorrow."
"Alright, Ye Kang, what's your opinion?"
Jin Lingfeng looked at Ye Kang, and everyone around him was shocked.
The captain actually asked a commander for his opinion!
how so!
Ye Kang never expected that this guy would point at him at such a time.
He thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "The disappearance of Ma Shaojie and the leader will definitely arouse the suspicion of Magistrate Ma. This matter cannot be delayed."
"Hmph, a mere commander, spouting nothing but nonsense," Li Ben said unhappily.
Ye Kang glanced at him and continued, "In my opinion, it's better to be cautious. Notify the Three Offices, and we'll assist them from the sidelines. This will not only earn us merit but also do them a favor. In return, they should help us out and resolve the issue of Ku Yue."
