Chapter 119 Eliminating Evil (4)

Ban Xiyu paused outside the conference hall.From a distance of several feet, she heard a disputing voice coming from inside:

"Look, I said a long time ago that the man surnamed Chen should have been chopped off with a single knife, otherwise why would it be his turn to threaten us today?" Song Ran walked back and forth in the room with an unavoidable expression on his face. On Anxiety and Restlessness:

"Now that Chen is going to lead troops to attack our cottage, and tomorrow at the latest, the officials from all over Pingzhou will be dispatched. Zhihang, think of a way!"

"Be safe and don't be impatient. It's useless for you to be anxious now, it's better to sit down and take a good breath." Shen Zhihang said unhurriedly.He drank the light wine with his head down, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing his unhurried appearance, Song Ran's head was about to explode, and he couldn't help complaining: "Are you still able to sit still? Can you still drink? I said brother, you really don't in a hurry!"

"The Shanzhai today's success is due to my painstaking efforts. Since it was your hard work and mine, how could I not be in a hurry?" Shen Zhihang said: "I just think that the threatening letter sent by the county magistrate Chen last night is very strange, not necessarily Believe it."

Song Ranze: "You mean someone deliberately made a fake letter to fool us? Who did it, do you have a clue?"

Shen Zhihang: "If this letter is really fake, then it is very likely that it was done by someone inside our cottage."

"How do you know?" Song Ran asked, "Do you already have definite evidence?"

"That's not true." Shen Zhihang said: "But think about it carefully. Our cottage is located in a remote place, and it's extremely secretive, and there are people patrolling back and forth in the mountain. If someone goes up the mountain, how can they not be found?"

Song Ran thought for a while, then nodded, and agreed: "That makes sense. County magistrate Chen is an idiot, and the people under him are even idiots among idiots.

"This letter came without anyone noticing it. No one found it. If I hadn't gotten up early this morning, this letter might not have been found anytime soon."

Song Ran said: "The sender came and left quietly, and no one noticed. The county magistrate Chen doesn't have this kind of ability."

Shen Zhihang: "That's right. That's why I think that the person who actually sent this letter was not the subordinates of County Magistrate Chen."

"Who is that?"

Shen Zhihang glanced at him, and said, "How many outsiders are there in the whole cottage, don't you know?"

"...You mean, Yu Ban?" Song Ran hesitated, "But he's just a frail scholar who has the guts to threaten us?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhihang smiled, and said, "Isn't Jiang Du also a frail scholar? When he entered the village, he made a fuss and wounded many of our brothers. It can be seen that not all scholars are helpless." Chicken power.

"Even though Yu Ban is really as weak as he appears on the outside, he dared to set you up, causing us to lose many brothers, and even dared to enter our 'wolf's den' alone, which shows his wisdom and courage.

"For such a person, we need to be careful. So these days, I never let him participate in the internal affairs of the village, because I fear that he is an undercover agent from outside."

Song Ranze: "But our people have been staring at him all the time, and he has been doing his best. There is nothing wrong with it. Could it be a mistake?"

"I'm also confused about this." Shen Zhihang said, "Maybe there are some doubts that we haven't discovered, so that he took advantage of it?"

"Maybe..." Song Ran was about to speak when suddenly Yao San's voice came from outside:
"Hey, Yu Banjun, why are you standing outside and not going in?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhihang and Song Ran stopped talking one after another.They looked at each other and were silent for a moment—

Yu Ban is outside the meeting hall?How much did he hear?
But now, it doesn't matter whether Yu Ban is eavesdropping or not.

Shen Zhihang said: "He came just in time, so we can question each one clearly." He shouted outside: "Yao San, bring the military division in."

*
Ban Xiyu had indeed listened to the conversation between Song Ranze and Shen Zhihang, and she was not surprised at Shen Zhihang's suspicion.

At the beginning, Shen Zhihang was very wary of her, so it is reasonable to suspect that she deliberately sent the letter to Xiaoyunzhai at this time.Although it was true that the letter was not sent by her, in the final analysis, it has nothing to do with her.

She originally wanted to wait for the people inside to finish talking before going in, but she didn't expect Yao San to come back at this time and saw her hiding behind the tree at a glance.

There was no other way, Ban Xiyu had no choice but to enter the conference hall together.

In the wide hall, the three people met each other's eyes, only Yao San had the same face.He looked at the two masters, then at Ban Xiyu, unable to see the mystery of the surrounding atmosphere at all, and said quickly:
"Second Master, the matter you told me to investigate just now has come to fruition - the young man took a closer look at the changes on every mountain. Just as you said, there is a change in Anning Town!"

Yao San was very excited: "The county magistrate Chen is really gathering people around, and it seems that he is going to do something big. And I also heard from the people nearby that people from the rich family of Linzhou came to Anning Town and are recruiting troops to attack us. Copycat!"

After finishing speaking, Yao San couldn't help cursing: "The rich family is too deceitful. We helped them so much in the past and lost so many brothers. Now it's better to cross the river and tear down the bridge! We even slandered us for robbing them! Really! hateful!"

"What?!" The expressions of Song Ranze and Shen Zhihang changed slightly.The two of them didn't expect that the rich family's handwriting was involved.

Song Ranze: "That stinky old man in Fulin hasn't paid back part of the salary he owed us in the first half of the year. Why is he beating us up and finding fault with us? That little bastard Fuyan is so confused?"

He said angrily: "Wait, I will go to him to settle the score."

"Wait, don't worry." Shen Zhihang interrupted: "Just now you said that the rich family slandered the cottage and robbed them? What's going on?"

Yao San: "Going back to the Second Master's house, the young one also heard from the people in Anning Town. It is said that the housekeeper sent by Fuyan was robbed by robbers in the border of Pingzhou, and a box of treasures was taken by the robbers. And the robber was They are from our village.

"Now, County Magistrate Chen has listened to the steward's words, and is gathering people from surrounding counties to attack the cottage. The second master, what should we do now?"

Song Ran was stunned for a moment: "It seems that what the letter said is true. County magistrate Chen dares to send people to encircle and suppress!" He paused again, and immediately said:

"Wait a minute, the brothers haven't gone down the mountain in recent days. Why did they rob the rich family? This is simply absurd! I understand that someone deliberately framed them and wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate us!"

Song Ran frowned deeply: "Did Fu Yan do it on purpose, or was it the idea of ​​the county magistrate Chen, or someone else?..."

Just when they were at a loss, Ban Xiyu sighed softly and said, "Look, now my suspicions can be cleared, right? I was not the person who sent the letter to threaten the two heads of the family, so you can rest assured. At least, you don't have to I no longer suspect that there is an inner ghost in the cottage."
