Chapter 17 I don't want you to do it
After Ren Shan waited for Dongfang Tian to leave, he carefully recalled the attack. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He called an old man in An Yuantang, this person is named Guo Zhijie. This person has mediocre martial arts, but he is good at communicating, so he is responsible for the daily exchanges between An Yuantang and the chief helm and other halls, so he is very familiar with the people in the gang. Ren Shan first asked him to see the corpses of a few or three masked people, and then told him about the body characteristics, weapons and tricks of the several masked people he met today, and then asked him to think about whether there were these people in the Changle Gang. Guo Zhijie lowered his head and pondered for a while and said, "Hall Master, my subordinates don't know whether to say it or not. Ren Shan said: "My brother, if there is anything you can't say, say it quickly." Guo Zhijie said: "These corpses, my subordinates have not seen them, but they are wearing gang uniforms under their black clothes." And the few people that the hall master said were a bit like the guards around Elder Pei. Recently, his subordinates heard rumors from the chief helmsman, saying that the Situ gang leader had received an order to reward the good and punish the evil. And it is said that all those who received this order are now gone. Hall master, do you think if the Situ Gang Master is gone......" Guo Zhijie said this, stopped talking, and looked at Ren Shan. When Ren Shan heard this, he couldn't help but have a little doubt in his heart, could it really be that Bei Haishi did it? So he shook his head and brooded.
Ren Shan recalled today's events, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong for a while. Ren Shan thought for a while, came back to his senses, and saw that Guo Zhijie was looking at him with a reverent face, and he didn't feel funny. I just heard Yao Jun say something similar a few days ago, and now his subordinates are also saying the same, it seems that the entire Changle Gang knows that Situ Heng has received a token of reward for good and punishment of evil, and it is thanks to Situ Heng's special order to block the news. "Blockade!" Thinking of this, Ren Shan suddenly understood that something was wrong.
According to Yao Jun, not many people knew about rewarding the good and punishing the evil messengers at that time, and even the gate guards that day only knew that someone had broken into the general rudder, but did not know who it was. The people at the scene, except for Situ Heng, were only Bei Haishi and the other four elders or hall masters. And afterwards, Situ Heng immediately issued a gag order. It stands to reason that those who can be elders and hall masters are scheming people, and they will never talk nonsense everywhere with a big mouth. And now, almost the whole gang knows about it, and there is something strange about it. If it weren't for someone deliberately leaking it out and deliberately circulating, it is estimated that no one would believe it.
So, who revealed the news? If it is said to be Bei Haishi, Ren Shan feels that it is not very likely. Because if this matter spreads, as long as anything happens to Ren Shan, the whole gang will suspect Bei Haishi. In the case of An Yuantang's dominance of the family, if everyone in An Yuantang is suspicious of Bei Haishi, it will also be very unfavorable for Bei Haishi to take over as the gang leader. Therefore, Ren Shan felt that if Bei Haishi was a smart person, he would not let the news leak, let alone send someone to assassinate Ren Shan after the news was leaked. Even if you want to get rid of Ren Shan, there are many ways, such as letting Ren Shan die heroically, going to the Qinglou to get sick and dying, gambling and losing a lot of money and causing a sudden stroke, hiding and dying, having nightmares and being scared to death, and so on, all of which are more reasonable than letting Ren Shan be assassinated. Besides, the Rakke still has to wear the clothes of the Changle Gang, which is even more unreasonable.
Ren Shan thought of a few details of the attack, one was the knife that was sneak attacked, Ren Shan always felt that the other party deliberately made the blade a little off; There is also the knife in himself, and the other party doesn't seem to do his best. Didn't the Rakers really want to kill themselves? But if so, what do they want to achieve? Is it just to provoke a dispute between himself and Bei Haishi?
Ren Shan couldn't think of a reason for a while, so he asked Guo Zhijie to pay attention to the movements of each hall and the rumors in the gang, and report it in time if there was anything wrong. waved Guo Zhijie away, and Ren Shan thought of Dongfang Tian again. Dongfang Tianyi is chivalrous, martial arts and intelligence are superior, and he is indeed a talent, but he seems to have a grudge against Xie Yanke, and he seems to be revengeful. Although his martial arts are not weak now, there must still be a lot of distance between him and Xie Yanke, if he meets Xie Yanke, with Xie Yanke's temperament, Dongfang Tian will not be spared. I'll remind him again tomorrow.
The next day, after Ren Shan had breakfast, he came to Dongfang Tian's inn and asked Xiao Er to inform Dongfang Tian. Xiao Er told Ren Shan that Dongfang Tian left the store early in the morning, and bought a horse in the store, and did not say where to go. Ren Shan knew that he must have gone to find Xie Yanke, so he had no choice but to come back.
Back in the hall, Guo Zhijie had been waiting for him for a long time. As soon as Guo Zhijie saw Ren Shan, he said in a low voice: "Hall master, my subordinates have something to report." Ren Shan took him to the study and retired from everyone. Guo Zhijie glanced around and said to Ren Shan: "The hall master asked me to inquire about some news yesterday, and I went to the chief helm this morning to have a look." One thing is very strange. Ren Shan said: "Oh, what is it?" Guo Zhijie said: "As soon as I arrived at the helm today, the guard guarding the gate has always been good with me, and I can't help but be jealous when I speak." When he saw me, he asked the hall master about what happened last night. This is not surprising, everyone in our hall basically knew about it last night, and it is normal for people to be mixed up. But the guard actually asked me mysteriously, are those thieves a bit like Elder Bei's guards......" Ren Shan was stunned and said, "You know this? Guo Zhijie said: "Hall Master, I think this is strange, I'm afraid that someone has ill intentions and wants to provoke you and Elder Pei to fight." ”
Ren Shan lowered his head and took two steps, and suddenly said to Guo Zhijie: "If you planned this thing, what would you do next?" Guo Zhijie thought for a moment and said: "If it is arranged by his subordinates, his subordinates will continue to stir up trouble." Yesterday it was the hall master who was attacked, and today the whole gang knows about it, and they all vaguely suspect that it was arranged by Elder Pei. If Elder Pei is attacked again, everyone will naturally suspect that you arranged it. In this way, even if Elder Pei and you don't believe that the other party arranged it, your subordinates will definitely not think so. The reason is that after the Situ gang leader, you two are the most likely successors, and the contradictions are well known. Moreover, this kind of dispute between the gang leaders is not only related to your two leaders, but also has vital interests with our subordinates. As a result, your subordinates won't really care what the truth is, all they need is a reason to hit each other. ”
Ren Shan glanced at Guo Zhijie deeply, but he didn't expect this seemingly slippery person to have such insight, so he couldn't help but glance at him again. Ren Shan said: "It's a wishful thinking, he thinks so, I don't do it." You go out and call the deputy hall master of Ji Yuan. "This Ji Yuan is also an old man of the Changle Gang, he is upright by nature, and he was jealous of the previous hall master, although his martial arts and intelligence are considered outstanding in the hall, but he was sent to a remote town to take care of the business of a small dock. After Ren Shan came, he met this person by chance, and saw that he was indeed talented, so he gave him some important tasks. Unexpectedly, he actually made great contributions and completed the task easily, and Ren Shan did not hesitate to reward him, and he was promoted to the deputy hall master. After Ji Yuan came, Ren Shan told him all these things before and after, and then said to Ji Yuan: "You go to Elder Bei now and pass on my words to him." Then tell him that someone is waiting to see our jokes. Ji Yuan bowed down and said, "Hall Master is wise, if we fight with Elder Pei and them now, it will definitely not be any of us who will benefit in the end." The hall master took the initiative to spread the word, and with Elder Pei's cleverness, he must have understood. ”
