Chapter 5: Intuitive Skepticism

Is it the breath of the army?

Lei Zhonglian clenched the spear in his hand.

Looking at the people pouring out from all directions, some on horseback and some running on legs, it looked chaotic.

The men were dressed in disheveled clothes, described as vicious, and armed with weapons of different swords, guns, swords, and halberds.

"Leave the money to buy the road, leave the money to buy the road."

They screamed and waved their weapons in their hands.

"Master Fang, these people don't look right." Lei Zhonglian said.

Although his father died suddenly, Uncle Fang was not frightened by this encounter because he had followed his father since he was a child, and his expression was still calm.

"What's wrong? There are quite a few bandits in this area. He said, "But it doesn't matter, they ask for money, we ask for our way, so let's go our own way." ”

After listening to Uncle Fang's words, the person in charge of his own affairs stepped forward to deal with the bandits.

Lei Zhonglian also let the dart masters do a good job of protection.

"If there is something wrong, we will never fight hard, we only save our lives, and we will not fight for money or money." He commanded.

The dart masters all nodded, and several of the younger disciples laughed.

"Brother Hualien, isn't this something you know, you still specially advised." They said.

Repeating the instructions for things that don't need to be told means that the person is nervous and uneasy about the matter.

Lei Zhonglian looked at the looming bandits around her, her expression was heavy.

"I don't think these people look right." He said.

The dart masters also looked over, with a little puzzlement.

"These bandits have been entrenched here for years, and it's not unusual. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less, and in the past few years, the situation has been bad, and there are more people who fall into the grass. Someone said. But they are just asking for money, and they can't do it desperately. ”

"They just work hard, and we're not afraid." Some people laughed, "Many of these people can't even grasp knives steadily." ”

In the past, the bandits only relied on a large number of people, and there were not many people with kung fu, so if they really want to fight, they don't have an absolute advantage in numbers. Dart masters don't have to lose.

It stands to reason that this was the case, but this time he always felt a little strange when he looked at these people.

Their voices and shouting movements seem messy, but they always feel that there is a strange sense of neatness.

And at this very moment. The man who went to negotiate there let out a scream and fell from his horse.

"Grab the meat ticket, it's a fat ticket!"

The cries followed.

The scene was chaotic.

"****, these people have a big appetite. I'm not afraid to die. The dart masters shouted. They all set up a position to face the battle.

As they moved, the bandits over there also came like a tide, shouting to the sky.

"Kill."

"Kill."

"Kill."

This word rushed into Lei Zhonglian's ears, and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Know what's wrong.

Their voices were so neat, even chaotic, they were pretended to be chaotic, and they soon gathered together in a neat and uniform manner, like a sea of mountains.

And they shouted to kill.

If it is a bandit, the most he shouts or shouts meaninglessly, shouting the word kill to charge. There is only one scenario.

That's on the battlefield, that's the generals.

Lei Zhonglian once joined the army. He also went to Beidi in person to follow Cheng Guogong, but because his parents were old, he had to give up halfway in order to fulfill his filial piety.

He has been on the battlefield, and he has fought and practiced with his comrades, although the time is very short, but the feeling is deep in the bone marrow.

These people, these people are not bandits!

"Quickly retreat, don't face the battle, don't set up a battle formation, quickly protect Uncle Fang's withdrawal." Lei Zhonglian shouted.

But it was still late.

"So those people aren't bandits, but well-trained soldiers?"

The female voice sounded softly in her ears, and at the same time a bowl of hot tea was handed over.

Lei Zhonglian's tense body relaxed slightly, and she took the hot tea to warm her cold hands.

"Yes." He said in a bitter voice, "The government later caught those bandits, and they also admitted that they did it, and the human and material evidence is complete, but I can be sure that those bandits are not bandits." ”

"The evidence is just how you felt at the time?" Miss Jun asked.

It's like when they see the woodcutter, their first feeling is that their hairs stand on end.

Because they have all seen officers and soldiers, especially those who have been on the battlefield and seen blood.

But this can only be a feeling, like the instinct of an animal in the face of danger, which can only be understood but not spoken.

Lei Zhonglian lowered her head with a sad and indignant expression.

"Yes, no one believes me." He said in an abrupt voice.

Everyone thinks he is trying to shirk responsibility.

Because he repeatedly shouted that it was an officer and soldier, that he had been premeditated for a long time, and that he had been unjustly injustified by this tragedy, he did not say that he was incompetent.

It is better to have more face than to be wiped out by a group of bandits.

Miss Jun did not speak.

Fang Chengyu, who had been listening quietly, suddenly spoke.

"What did my mother and grandmother say?" He asked.

"The eldest lady couldn't stand it at that time...... Lei Zhonglian said, "the old lady said. ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Fang Chengyu.

"She said, I lied, she said, no way." He said.

Why can't it be.

He was not convinced, so he didn't leave, stayed in Deshengchang, and wanted to know why.

Miss Jun looked at Fang Chengyu, and Fang Chengyu was also looking at her.

Miss Jun smiled and did not speak.

"I've read the records at the time, and I've also read the case files of the government's investigation of this matter at that time." Fang Chengyu looked at Lei Zhonglian and said gently, "It is true that there is no sign of the participation of officers and soldiers as you mentioned, and there are no garrisons around our Yangcheng, if they are transferred from other places, it is impossible for so many people to be without traces." ”

Lei Zhonglian looked at him with some surprise in her eyes.

This young master even knew what happened back then, and he also read the case file.

Does he also have doubts about his father's death? Otherwise, why go to the case file? Everyone knows that he was robbed and killed by bandits.

"I'm a sick person, and I don't have anything else to do, just read books and think about things." Fang Chengyu saw his thoughts and said with a smile, "And at that time, Chengguo Gong was already stationed in Beidi, and the officers and soldiers of the North Third Road were all under his command, you don't believe the investigation of the government here, and you don't believe that my grandmother and woman are not knowledgeable, you should always believe in the strictness of Chengguo Gong's military management, right?" ”

Yes, who can easily mobilize the soldiers of Cheng Guogong without a trace.

"That's why you see, my grandmother said it couldn't be." Fang Chengyu said softly.

Lei Zhonglian looked sad.

Yes, it stands to reason that it can't be, but he really can't be mistaken, so why?

It's really what others say, he was frightened and hallucinated, and he couldn't face the death of so many brothers and sisters, so he looked for excuses to comfort him.

"But there's one thing, Uncle Lei, you're right." Fang Chengyu said.

Lei Zhonglian raised her head and looked at him sharply.

"My father's murder must have been premeditated." Fang Chengyu said, "And Uncle Lei, you are also someone that our Fang family can trust, so I asked you to escort me this time." ”

Believe?

Their Fang family believed him?

Lei Zhonglian's eyes lit up.

"Young Master." He shouted in a trembling voice.

Fang Chengyu nodded with a smile.

"Now let's hurry." He said, "lest they be discovered, and they will flee in vain." ”

It turned out that it was not that the young master was abandoned by the Fang family, but to protect him.

Lei Zhonglian looked at Fang Chengyu with a sudden expression.

"Young master, you, could it be said that your illness was also caused by someone......" he asked.

Fang Chengyu nodded.

I see, that's why he left Yangcheng so suddenly and went to Runan so far away.

Lei Zhonglian felt a little indescribable.

"Unexpectedly, the old lady and the eldest lady turned out to be ......," he muttered.

It turns out that they have always believed in him.

That's not necessarily, Fang Chengyu glanced at Miss Jun and believed that it was her.

Miss Jun smiled.

"But now I want to trouble you to help me to the car, you have to take care of the two of us with limited mobility, this is something that no one expected." She said.

Lei Zhonglian couldn't help but laugh.

At such a time, I learned that my father and myself were both murdered, and I could still be so calm and indifferent.

It made him feel ridiculous about his self-pity before.

"Okay." He said, "Young master and young grandmother, let's hurry so that those bad people can't find us." ”

……………………………………………………….

There was a crunch sound.

The shopkeeper of Song smashed the pink porcelain teacup on the table to the ground, looking annoyed.

"A bunch of waste, how can it be that you can't find it for so long?" (To be continued.) )
