Chapter 48 is self-explanatory
"The owner of the village doesn't want to mention it to us people, and I can understand that. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Peng Mu said angrily. "But Brother Xie, you have done so much for him, and all the affairs of this big cottage are handled by Brother Xie."
"Who is he hiding, and he can't hide it from you, Brother Xie, right?"
Compared with Peng Mu's indignation, Zeng Xie was very calm, but Peng Mu still heard Zeng Xie's frustration from his words.
"Perhaps, the eldest brother has a hard time, such as..."
"For example?" Peng Mu sneered, "Like what?" ”
"Like the man above doesn't want us to know who he is?"
"If you want me to see, it's that the owner of the village is afraid of the people above, and he knows that everything is done by Brother Xie, so you robbed him of the credit, so that he can't be happy!"
"Pengmu." Seeing that Peng Mu became more and more angry the more he spoke, he couldn't control his emotions, Zeng Xie frowned.
Knowing that he couldn't go overboard, Peng Mu took a deep breath and said in a low voice. "Brother Xie, have you ever thought about what the people above are doing when they catch those people?"
After thinking about it, Peng Mu added. "Don't you think their orders are sometimes too contradictory?"
Zeng Xie's eyes flashed, he did feel like this sometimes, but because the eldest brother was unwilling to say more, he didn't ask more.
"And according to you?"
Knowing that Zeng Xie's curiosity was hooked by himself, the corners of Peng Mu's mouth hooked, "The owner of the village has become more and more untaboo these days, I asked Lao Guang, and he said that it was because of the protection of the people above that the owner of the village was so unscrupulous." ”
Hearing Peng Mu say this, a wry smile overflowed from the corner of Zeng Xie's lips. The eldest brother has never disclosed half of the news to himself, but has he told Lao Guang the news?
Peng Mu pondered, "Since the owner of the village is not afraid of officers and soldiers, Brother Xie, I think the person above the owner of the village should be a high-level person." ”
Zeng Xie took a deep breath and glanced at Peng Mu.
Word by word. "If that's the case, then?"
"Why did they tell us to block the Xingyun Mountain Boundary?" Zeng Xie said and stopped suddenly.
"Yes." Peng Mu was stunned for a moment. "Is it to arrest those people?"
Peng Mu just mentioned it casually, but Zeng Xie didn't show any slack on his face, thought about it carefully, and shook his head. "No, the eldest brother didn't tell the people above that those people had fled."
"Since they think those people are already in our hands, then why do they let the eldest brother use such iron-blooded means to prevent people from passing?"
Peng Mu sneered and raised his eyebrows slightly. "The owner of the village is a bloodthirsty character."
He thought about it for a moment, "If it's not for the arrest of those people, it's for someone or something." ”
Peng Muben just said a sentence unintentionally, and in the end, the more he spoke, his eyes widened and widened.
Vaguely, I realized that I seemed to have said something terrible.
Looking at it, he found that Zeng Xie was also full of shock.
"If so." Zeng Xie's breathing was noticeably thicker. "We have caravans passing by here all year round, and there are quite a few of them, but at this time..."
At the end, Zeng Xie was stunned for a moment, and carefully recited the last four words. "This period."
Peng Mu swallowed his saliva, and suddenly blurted out the words he had heard in the inn before in his mind. "To stop the healers from coming to us? What good can they do in this way? ”
"What did you say?" Zeng Xie looked up.
Under Zeng Xie's gaze, Peng Mu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shook his hand. "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything."
It was unexpected.
"Healer?" Zeng Xie slapped his palm on the table, and his eyes lit up. "Yes, just to stop the healers."
"As for the benefits." Zeng Xie's gaze became more and more gloomy, and his face was as pale as earth. "We're being robbed."
Zeng Xie said meaningfully. "What will happen to a good gun when it is used?"
After a moment's effort, Peng Mu understood what Zeng Xie meant, his face turned pale, and he muttered in a low voice. "So, then, what to do?"
Zeng Xie's gaze swept towards Peng Mu.
Although Peng Mu said that he was a little smart, he was still easy to panic when he encountered major events, so Zeng Xie gradually calmed down and said lightly.
"But that's just speculation."
Peng Mu carefully observed Zeng Xie's expression and found that what he said didn't seem to be a lie, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
"I want to take a break."
"Yes, yes." Peng Mu nodded again and again, his eyes a little confused. "Okay, Brother Xie, I'll go out first."
Zeng Xie nodded, looked at Peng Mu, who was a little dazed, knowing that he couldn't slow down today, Zeng Xie let out a sigh of relief, knowing that he shouldn't have said so much before.
He reminded. "Don't think so much, maybe it's just that we think too much."
After thinking about it, Zeng Xie instructed. "Don't pass it out."
Peng Mu suddenly agreed, and then turned around and left.
When Peng Mu left, Zeng Xie's face did not get any better, he and Yi lay on the bed on their backs, staring at the bed curtain with clear eyes.
I didn't feel sleepy at all.
Before, he speculated with Peng Mu, although he told Peng Mu that this matter was just speculation, but no one knew better than himself.
Most of this is certainly true.
In the past few years, the cottage has been making trouble in the area of Xingyun Mountain, and it is not that there are no officers and soldiers who have come up to encircle and suppress it.
At first, they were half frightened to death, and showed the courage to defend the stockade, and were on guard for a while.
But the eldest brother didn't look worried every time, so they didn't have to be so nervous.
They didn't believe it, but later found that the officers and soldiers were thundering and raining every time, and they were just making noise outside the stockade for a while, so they ordered the troops to be withdrawn.
If it weren't for the fact that those soldiers all came with swords and guns, those who didn't know would have thought that they were just here for a spring outing on Xingyun Mountain.
Now that I think about it, I should have received orders from the people above to stop them from putting on a posture.
If it is a high-ranking official above their heads, the plague breaks out in Xingcheng, they should be so anxious that they can't wait to let all the people in Lishuijian go out, right?
How can they be deliberately controlled? Thinking like this, Zeng Xie's body was cold, and he was still puzzled for a moment in his mind.
He shook his head, unable to guess what the men were thinking.
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and Zeng Xie propped himself up and got up from the bed.
If the person on top of their head is a high-ranking official in Kyoto, then who is the person that the high-ranking official needs them to deal with?
What are the identities of those people?
Zeng Xie suddenly remembered the swarthy eyes of the previous person, and looked at his appearance without any emotion, and couldn't help but be slightly shocked in his heart. "Who are they?"
Someone who can deal with high-ranking officials...
Peng Mu: They are still the two people they caught in Xiecheng.
That direction is the only way to get here from Lishui Stream.
Thinking about it like this, their identities seem to be self-evident. (To be continued.) )
