"Dingdong, congratulations on your successful use of the 'recruitment' skill. There are often a group of thieves in Linjiang, Bajun, which harms merchant ships, harms the people, and commits evil. I hope you can quickly go to capture them and restore the people to a peaceful water."

When Yang Yang heard this system prompt, he was stunned. What is the purpose of capturing the water thief? I want to subdue the super historical general. Why did he do such a thing for himself?

But soon he realized that Linjiang, Bajun, wasn’t Gan Ning’s hometown? And continue to read the prompts later, wasn’t Gan Ning a water thief in his youth? And there was also a famous name, that is, Jinfan thief, who really did everything he wanted.

He likes to capture Gan Ning!

Thinking of this, Yang Yang hurriedly found Han Dang from Baidi City without saying a word, and he also brought Huang Zhong, who was guarding Bailing Town. Conquering Gan Ning was not an easy job. Only by bringing these two people with him could he feel at ease. As for bringing warships and soldiers, let it go, he wouldn't have to wait for that long.

They teleported directly from Baidi City to Linjiang County, and the three of them found a tavern and sat down.

Linjiang County is geographically located like its name, that is, Linjiang, and it is close to the Yangtze River. The water transportation is very prosperous and there are many merchants coming and going, so the tavern business here is also quite popular.

"Isn't this Boss Wang? How about it? Is the business good recently?"

"Oh, Brother Liu, you don't know that the court now has a lot of levies and taxes, and does not pay attention to us business people. Any small official can extort us. In addition, the world is not good, so the business can get better." When talking about business, the middle-aged Boss Wang couldn't help but complain.

When the person who was called Brother Liu by Boss Wang heard his words, he looked around nervously, and then said, "Brother Wang, you want to kill me. Slandering the court and officials is a serious crime. You and I must be beheaded."

The man named Liu was obviously more cautious. Yang Yang sat on the table next to the two, drinking a drink while pricking up his ears to listen to their conversation.

"Oh..." Boss Wang sighed, "Brother Liu, you don't know about this world. The court doesn't give us a way to live. It was fortunate before, but although we had to pay a lot of taxes, this business could still be done. But now, there are constant bandits and are robbed by bandits on land, and now they are robbed by those thieves killed in the sky when they go on water."

When it comes to bandits, the other person sighs.

After two middle-aged businessmen drank a few glasses of wine together in silence, the person who was called Brother Liu by Boss Wang suddenly spoke again: "Brother Wang, do you think the court will wipe out the group of water thieves near Linjiang?"

"Sher..." Boss Wang sneered and said, "Brother Liu, you have lived for almost half your life. Do you still know what the court and government are like now? Don't say that ordinary water thieves dare not fight, and they can't win. Just say that Jinfan thieves in the area around Linjiang can fight?"

Before he could speak, Boss Wang continued: "The boss of the Jinfan Shui Pirates was just a teenager, but he couldn't resist the wealth of others. He heard that he was still generous. It was too late for such a man to flatter him. How could he wipe out? That was their source of wealth. Besides, even if the government was determined to wipe out the Jinfan Shui Pirates, could the officers and soldiers win?"

Boss Wang's question stopped his companions. Indeed, let alone whether the government will fight now, even if it can fight, it will not be compared with those group of Jinfan Shui Pirates.

Yang Yang listened quietly, and when he heard the two merchants discussing about Gan Ning's affairs, he frowned. If these two said this, Gan Ning was really a demon who would do all kinds of evil in the eyes of this group of people. However, the prodigal son turned around and did not change his gold. Gan Ning, who had passed his youth, still walked back to the right path. Now all he had to do is to lead Gan Ning back to the right path as soon as possible.

However, how to subdue Gan Ning is a problem. Now the government doesn’t care. Could it be that only the three of them went to the Yangtze River to capture Gan Ning? It seems that it is not feasible!

Yang Yang was in distress when he suddenly rushed in from outside the tavern. As soon as he entered the tavern, he shouted: "Good news, good news!"

"What news? What news? Did the court say that the tax exemption is required for us?" the merchants in the tavern asked one after another.

"No, just now, the Jinfan thief killed a master in the government because the master neglected him. The county thief was furious and decided to eliminate the group of Jinfan thieves." The young man finished the whole thing in anger.

However, many people in the tavern did not believe it: "It's true or false. Can the county magistrate make such a great determination? What's more, it would be strange if Linjiang County has such a little force and no ship, so it would be strange if it can be put into the water."

"That's right, the county magistrate dares to send people down the river to arrest people. Who is he brave?"

When he heard that there were so many people in the tavern who didn't believe it, the young man was anxious and hurriedly said, "Why am I lying to you? Now the county magistrate is recruiting fishing boats! If you don't believe it, you can go to the riverside to see. The county magistrate also issued a notice to recruit good swimmers and prepare to attack at night!"

When the young people said this, many people ran out of the tavern, wanting to witness it.

Seeing that everyone left, Yang Yang also stood up and said to Han Dang and Huang Zhong: "Brother Huang, Yi Gong, let's go and see it."

Before coming to the river, he told the two of them the purpose of the trip.

"Brother Yang, after hearing what the two of you said just now, it seems that this Jinfan thief is not easy to catch! Even if it is caught, it may not be easy to subdue." Huang Zhong said. Han Dang, who was beside him, nodded. They also heard what the two bosses next door said just now.

Yang Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, although we are not 100% sure, we still have 70% or 80%. The most important thing now is to find others. In fact, they don't know that the Jinfan thief, that is, Gan Ning, has another characteristic, that is, he is generous. As long as we can receive him solemnly and give him enough courtesy, he can be close to us."

"Oh, that's really a weird person!" Huang Zhong said.

Indeed, neither he nor Han Dang understood. How could a person who could kill people because of poor courtesy and interact because of grand courtesy? And just because the master neglected him, he killed someone. That personality is too strange.

"Haha..." Yang Yang chuckled twice. In fact, he could understand Gan Ning's character. According to the current saying, wasn't that a rebellion in his youth? The grand courtesy would make him feel respected and self-satisfied in his self-esteem, so he would identify with this friend from the bottom of his heart.

The three of them walked to the riverside of Linjiang County and saw many officers and soldiers busy recruiting fishing boats. However, Yang Yang just smiled at the behavior of these people. With the IQ of this county magistrate, he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat Gan Ning. If several small fishing boats could be compared with warships, unless Gan Ning voluntarily surrendered.

After seeing the busy scene by the river, Yang Yang led the two of them to the government office. He met the current county magistrate Li of Linjiang County in the yamen. He was a county magistrate with scattered eyes, with small eyes as if he could only see the shining gold.

"You are the Hepu Commander?"

To be honest, Yang Yang's official position is higher than that of the County Magistrate Li, but his official position is in Hepu and not in Yizhou. Therefore, County Magistrate Li was not afraid of him, so he circled around him for two or three times.

"Mr. Li, this is my official seal. You can check it carefully." After that, Yang Yang took out an official seal from his pocket and gave it to him.

Soon, after the County Magistrate Li checked correctly, he returned the official seal to Yang Yang. Then he said in confusion: "Master Yang, you are the Master Hepu. I wonder what you are doing in Linjiang? Do you have something to ask the young one to do for you?"

County Magistrate Li claimed to be young, but his tone did not regard himself as a subordinate at all. Instead, he felt a little arrogant. However, Yang Yang didn't care about these things. As long as he could conquer Gan Ning, County Magistrate Li was considered a bird.

"Haha, I'll tell the truth." Yang Yang smiled. As a high-ranking person, Yang Yang is quite well-educated. "I just passed by here by chance, but as soon as I arrived here, I heard that the county magistrate wanted to recruit good men to destroy a group of water thieves. I happened to know the nature of water. Moreover, you and I are both officials in the court, so I can't bear to see you being blamed by the court for the matter of water thieves, so I want to help you."

Yang Yang's words completely touched the heart of County Magistrate Li. Originally, he and Gan Ning still had some friendship, but this time, he had to make up his mind to wipe him out. The key is that there was someone behind the master, although it was not big, enough to get rid of his black hat. Because, in order to avenge the master and save his black hat, he could only risk killing the thief.

But County Magistrate Li was not sure. He had never been on the battlefield, nor had he ever fought a water battle, and there was no one under his command. Perhaps God wanted to help him, and now a living lieutenant is standing in front of him, and this lieutenant is still here to help him.

After hearing Yang Yang's words, County Magistrate Li's attitude suddenly improved and he laughed in a low voice: "Mr. Yang, I really thank you so much. Come, please sit down, please sit down for three!"

So, under the guidance of County Magistrate Li, the three of them sat down in the back hall of the county government. Yang Yang also began to fool the county magistrate, telling him that he could help him capture the Jinfan thief, and by the way, let Han Dang show his force.

So, the County Magistrate Li very simply handed over the extermination mission to Yang Yang, and even gave him the command of the officers and soldiers. After Yang Yang achieved his goal, he happily left the county government.

"Brother Yang, what should we do next?" Huang Zhong asked after leaving the county government.

"Let's go, we will conquer Gan Ning, he will not be able to escape from my fingers." Of course, Yang Yang is so confident because of Gan Ning's personality. He has a way to deal with such a little brat.
