Chapter 56: The Thief in the Village
Cen Wenhan got up and drew his sword across his chest, and at this time a group of people walked out of the forest, Ji Xiangyun saw these people and quickly got up and ran to the glue, it turned out that these people were the helpers brought by Ji Gu Lord, last night the fourth aunt promised Cen Wenhan to lead those killers into the trees, and she secretly asked Lin Sister-in-law to arrange for someone to go to the villa to report the news, and it was only at dawn that Ji Gu Lord and they found the location of Cen Wenhan and the four of them.

After listening to Ji Xiangyun's nagging, Lord Ji Gu arranged for people to go to the bottom of the waterfall to catch the five killers. After tearing off two ropes, these five people were scooped up, and after taking off their clothes, Cen Wenhan finally saw the armor of these people, which turned out to be the armor worn by soldiers on the battlefield.
"They're in the military?" Cen Wenhan said in surprise.
Lord Ji Gu shook his head, "These people are wearing the clothes and armor of different military ranks such as staff generals, deputy generals, and guards, if they are sergeants, it is impossible to appear at the same time, because different official ranks have different identities." Either they were armor that had been ripped from the dead on the battlefield, or they had stolen it from somewhere, and the calluses on their hands would tell that they were not soldiers. With that, he pointed to the men's hands.
Cen Wenhan looked at these people's hands, their hands were obviously not the hands that had held knives for many years, this was the experience he had learned from Jiexu, "Who are they?" ”
Lord Ji Gu asked someone to take off the clothes and armor of these people, and at this time, someone found that these five people all had unicorn tattoos on their backs, "Are there any organizations related to unicorns in the rivers and lakes?" Cen Wenhan felt even more confused at this time.
Lord Ji Gu shook his head again and said, "This is not a Qilin, if I am not mistaken, this is a Red Flame Beast." ”
Legend has it that this red flame beast is surrounded by red flames, and the fire poison is surging, and the Chinese people die immediately. Cen Wenhan had seen such a passage in the book, and he sighed: "No wonder these people always use fire, it turns out that they think they are Red Flame Beasts. ”
Lord Ji Gu didn't say much, he arranged for someone to bury these five people, and then took Cen Wenhan and them back to the "Jingyou Villa".
After returning to the village, the valley lord arranged for everyone to go back to rest, he was alone with Cen Wenhan in the living room, at this time the valley lord suddenly knelt down to Cen Wenhan, Cen Wenhan was shocked, and quickly helped the valley lord to stand up, at this time the valley lord said: "Gongzi Cen saved my family's life twice, you can afford this worship." ”
"Where is the valley master, I have a fate with the valley master to have this encounter." Cen Wenhan had his ghost thoughts in his words.
Lord Ji Gu didn't think too much about it at that time, he got up and said, "Can Gongzi Cen see what's wrong here?" ”
"It seems that someone wants to be unfavorable to the second miss." Cen Wenhan also felt that there was an undercurrent lurking in this "quiet mountain villa".
"Why did Gongzi Cen say this?" Although Lord Ji Gu asked, there was no trace of surprise on his face.
"If these people want to be unfavorable to me, they won't find this place to attack me, I walk alone all year round, they have a chance. If they want to be unfavorable to the eldest lady and the fourth aunt, they have a chance in the medicine garden, and they don't need to wait for me to get to them. Cen Wenhan expressed his thoughts.
Lord Ji Gu nodded, "The last time I talked to Gongzi Cen about the predicament encountered in the villa, I also thought that they wanted to stab the villa in the back, but now it seems that their purpose is Yun'er." ”
"I thought they were two gangs."
"Please make it clear."
"The things that the valley lord mentioned to me the day before yesterday were all for the sake of competing for business in the mountain villa, they only wanted money, but the people we met this time only wanted people's lives."
"The old man asks Gongzi Cen to find out the real culprit for my Yun'er."
Cen Wenhan got up and hugged his fists and said, "The juniors are here!" ”
At noon the next day, Cen Wenhan got up from the bed with his head in his arms, and at this time he still had a splitting headache, last night Ji Gang poured him a meal of wine under the pretext that he saved his sister, and he was poured half to death by that Ji Gang, and now he is afraid when he sees wine, and he has a headache when he sees Ji Gang.
Ji Xiangyun saw him get up and quickly brought him a large plate of sweets, this "sweetness" made Cen Wenhan breathless, and now he is not only afraid of wine, but also afraid of sweetness.
Cen Wenhan came to the courtyard in a drowsy manner, Ji Xiangyun saw that he was listless and planned to pull him to the river for a walk, casually sober him up, Cen Wenhan was pulled out of the villa by her and came to the village outside the village, and across the village is the river under the mountain, Ji Xiangyun went to a family in the village to borrow a set of fishing gear before taking Cen Wenhan to the river.
The two walked on the stone road in the village, Cen Wenhan only felt that his legs were weak, he was lightheaded, he was still ghosted, and he didn't know how much wine he was poured last night, and now he still had a feeling of pain. Not far in front, there was a small medicinal herb market where some people were trading, and Ji Xiangyun also took Cen Wenhan to squeeze in to join in the fun. Originally, this market was ostensibly for trading medicinal herbs, but there were also merchants from other places who brought some various goods here to trade, so although this market is not large, it is also very lively.
Cen Wenhan was already uncomfortable drinking, but now he was crowded in the crowd again, and suddenly felt that his throat was itchy and wanted to vomit, so he endured it and pulled Ji Xiangyun to the other end of the market. At this moment, suddenly someone shouted, "My silver! ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole bazaar was silent, and the people in the market were stunned to look at each other on the spot, and at this time, a merchant-like man stomped his feet and said: "My silver is lost, please help me find it." ”
Then one of the do-gooders in the crowd asked, "Where did you throw away the money?" ”
"Right here."
"Is it just silver that was lost?"
"Of course not, I wrapped the silver in a small cloth bag, and there were two silver tickets in it."
Then someone asked, "Did you lose a lot of money?" ”
The merchant anxiously stamped his foot and said, "My whole net worth is in that bag." ”
At this time, a person pulled out the onlookers and came inside, Cen Wenhan saw that this person was five big and three thick, with a fierce face, and as soon as he came in, someone greeted him and said: "Shen Sanye, you came just in time, some people here say that his silver has been lost and is in a hurry here." ”
Shen Sanye glanced at the lost silver and asked, "What's your surname?" ”
The man knew from this frame that the person who came must be the steward here, "My surname is Wu, and I came here to buy some medicinal materials, but I didn't expect to lose the silver as soon as I entered this market today." ”
Shen Sanye looked around, and then said loudly: "Listen to the next word, we have never had a theft here, although I dare not say that we do not close the door at night, but over the years the people in this village have lived peacefully, today someone actually steals here, it really makes me feel shameless, in order to find out this matter, I want everyone to let me search, if someone disagrees, we will report to the official to deal with it, what do you think?" ”
Cen Wenhan felt that although this person looked fierce, he spoke in an orderly manner, and he was really a talent. Some people in the crowd echoed: "The third master is reasonable, if you report to the official, first, it will be troublesome, and secondly, the thief may also slip away while everyone is waiting, so please ask the third master to search the people present!" ”
Seeing that everyone did not object, Shen Sanye invited everyone present to the side, and then he searched them one by one. Cen Wenhan followed everyone in a drowsy manner to the front of Shen Sanye, Shen Sanye glanced at the drunk man and then touched him a few times, at this time his hand stopped at Cen Wenhan's waist, and then he felt out a cloth bag in Cen Wenhan's waist, and then the merchant surnamed Wu quickly ran forward and said, "This is exactly the silver I lost." ”
Hearing this, Cen Wenhan's wine was also frightened awake, he looked at the cloth bag in Shen Sanye's hand in surprise and couldn't speak, Shen Sanye glanced at him and then turned his head and asked the merchant surnamed Wu: "You said this is your bag, what's in this bag?" ”
The man said, "There are fifty taels of silver in the bag, and two silver tickets, one fifty taels and one two hundred taels." ”
Shen Sanye opened the cloth bag, and the contents were just as the businessman surnamed Wu said, and at this time, everyone's eyes looked at Cen Wenhan in unison, and Cen Wenhan suddenly felt hot on his face. Seeing this, Ji Xiangyun didn't do anything, she stood up and said, "What's going on?" ”
When Shen Sanye saw Ji Xiangyun, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Second Miss, we just got a thief." ”
"What thief, Gongzi Cen is a distinguished guest invited by our villa, how can he steal this silver?" Ji Xiangyun said angrily.
"Yes! Be! Be! How could the second lady's guest look at this mere three hundred taels of silver, I think there must be some misunderstanding in this. There was a thorn in Shen Sanye's words.
"You ......" When Ji Xiangyun was about to say something, Cen Wenhan pulled her away, and then he hugged his fists and said to everyone: "Everyone! When I first arrived in your land, I encountered such strange things, and I forgot that everyone listened to me. ”
The scene was silent suddenly, everyone knew the status of "Jingyou Villa" here, this village relied on this villa to have the wealth of medicinal materials, and no one in the village dared to offend the people of the villa. Cen Wenhan saw that everyone stopped talking, so he continued: "The second lady also told you just now, I am a guest here with the valley master, and I was drunk with the valley lord last night, and today I just came out for a walk, and by the way, I didn't expect that I would become a thief as soon as I entered this market, and I was really wronged." ”
Cen Wenhan carried Ji Gu Lord out, this trick was really effective, everyone present stopped talking, and when he was about to continue, someone in the crowd said: "What does Cen Gongzi mean that someone here has framed you?" ”
Cen Wenhan glanced around and said, "Which friend is talking?" ”
"What does Cen Gongzi mean, you can't confront us?" That person only spoke coldly in the crowd, and Cen Wenhan really had no way to take this person.
"You don't even dare to show your face when you speak, could it be that you are the thief?" Cen Wenhan didn't spare the person who hid in the crowd and released cold arrows.
"Why did someone else become a thief, but the thing was found on your Cen Gongzi's body." That guy was a great character too.
Cen Wenhan carefully observed the surroundings while this person was talking, but he didn't see anyone's mouth moving, presumably this person could ventriloquist. At this time, Cen Wenhan turned his head and said to Shen Sanye: "Now that the thing has been found, I don't know what to do with it?" ”
"Where is Cen Gongzi, if it weren't for Cen Gongzi and his wife picking up silver and being falsely accused a few days ago, I'm afraid things wouldn't have ended so well at that time, I don't think Cen Gongzi was a thief who stole silver." What Shen Sanye said was that a few days ago, Cen Wenhan helped the man who picked up the silver and returned it to the owner, but he blamed Wang Hong for stealing his silver and beat Wang Hong, but Cen Wenhan cleaned up the lost owner.
At this time, some people in the crowd also remembered what Cen Wenhan did at that time, and these people also echoed: "Cen Gongzi is by no means a person who steals chickens and dogs. ”
Seeing this, the merchant surnamed Wu who lost the silver also hurriedly said: "Since the lost silver in Xia has been found, I will not pursue it in Xia, so this matter will end here!" ”
Shen Sanye saw that the owner had spoken, so he returned the silver he had found to the merchant surnamed Wu, "Everyone! Since the owner is no longer pursued, this matter will end here, let's disperse! This Shen Sanye also knew that the drunk man in front of him was a guest of the "Quiet Villa", and he couldn't afford to offend the Lord of Ji Gu, so he could just get over this matter.
