The carriage then 'clicked' through the mountains and forests.

Yuan Shen in the car closed his eyes, even if the carriage was bumpy again, his body was still motionless.

Chen Qi on the side asked a little puzzled: "Owner, why don't you go directly to the forester?" Whatever they knew, they must have told the foresters. ”

Zhang Xiang shook his head: "Didn't you hear about it just now, he didn't tell the forester about the origin of this Xue family's guest order, and if we go directly to the forester, it will be useless." Moreover, this forester knows the identity of my colt, and he actually knows very well that half of the reason why his house was set on fire was because the assassins wanted to assassinate me, and his family suffered, but he was not sure if he had a grudge against these gangsters, so he must find out first. I am a colt, his house was set on fire, even if it was because of me, he did not dare to do anything to me, he could only consider himself unlucky, and find out the matter first, so even if he went directly to him, if he hated me in his heart, he would not tell me what he knew. ”

"I see." Chen Qi suddenly realized.

Zhang Xiang said: "Presumably, the mountain man didn't know this, so he decided that the Xue family's Keqing was ordered by the Xue family to burn the forester's family, he knew that the forester couldn't afford to offend the Xue family, so he didn't tell the forester the origin of this guest order, if the forester was hot-headed and went to the Xue family to take revenge, wouldn't it really be in vain!" ”

Chen Qi said: "The owner is also kind, and gave him twenty taels of silver to let him leave." ”

At this time, Yuan Shen on the side opened his glasses slightly and snorted lowly: "The dog takes the mouse and meddles in things, he can't protect himself, and he still wants to help others." ”

Zhang Xiang laughed: "Brother Yuan, as the saying goes, leave a line in your work, and you will see each other in the future!" That man is so righteous, it's nothing to pull him, the silver should be the news to buy him, the people of the rivers and lakes, there will always be goodbye in the future. ”

Yuan Shen closed his eyes again.

The carriage traveled for another half an hour, and soon came to a house in the middle of the forest.

This mansion is built in an atmospheric manner, surrounded by mountains and rivers, birds and flowers, and the col they went to just now is simply a world of difference.

Self-cultivation is also a beautiful thing here.

After Zhang Xiang explained his intention to the family outside the door, the family went in to report.

After a while, an old man who looked like a butler came out and welcomed him in.

I walked all the way through a flower pond and came to a fish pond, where the forester was sitting and fishing.

Zhang Xiang had never seen this forester, he only heard Zhao Hanyan say that when they got married, this forester also went to drink their happy wine.

"Master, someone is here." The butler bent over and spoke.

The forester raised his hand, and the butler retreated.

The forester didn't look back, looking intently at the line that hung into the fish pond.

Zhang Xiang also stood not far behind him and did not disturb, waiting patiently, Chen Qi was a little impatient, if it wasn't for Zhang Xiang pulling him, he would have stepped forward.

Soon, the fishing line in the forester's hand was pulled violently, and he tugged hard, but soon, the fish seemed to break free, and only pulled up the empty hook.

The forester sighed softly, and then turned around.

When he saw Zhang Xiang, he was stunned for a moment, then directly threw away the fishing rod in his hand, and hurriedly walked over in two steps: "Lin should be damned, I don't know if the horse arrived, please forgive me." ”

Zhang Xiang sneered in his heart, when they came over just now, they came from the corridor outside the forester, no matter how attentive he was fishing, he could see the people at a glance.

However, Zhang Xiang still had a smile on his face: "The forester is serious, I bothered me." ”

"Don't bother, don't bother, come on, serve refreshments." The forester hurriedly shouted.

Zhang Xiang also took the opportunity to look at him, although his current mental state seems to be quite good, but the white hair on his head has turned white when he is just over forty years old, it is not difficult to imagine how sad the pain of losing his wife and child has made him more than two months.

Only by living in this quiet place can the scars in my heart heal faster.

Now he should have just come out of his grief, so he had the heart to find someone to investigate this matter.

"I wonder why the colt came here today? Wherever you can find Lin, please ask the horse to command. This forester is also smart, knowing that Zhang Xiang is not good, and he took the lead in showing his attitude without humility.

Time is limited, and Zhang Xiang doesn't go around the bend with a smart person like him, so he also said directly: "Forester, I came to you today to cooperate with you." ”

"Cooperation?" The forester shook his head a little funny: "The status of the horse is noble, Lin also heard that the horse has opened a new cloth village in Pingzhou City, and the business is booming. If that's the case, then Lin will say sorry first, Lin doesn't do business now, it's easy to offend people in business, Lin has already suffered a loss, and he doesn't want to eat a second time, although the house in Pingzhou City has been burned down by fire, but Lin has saved some savings over the years, and these savings are enough for the current family to spend their lives in peace. ”

Zhang Xiang said: "This cooperation can also be divided into many kinds, not just business. ”

"With such an identity as a colt, where else can Lin be used?" The forester continued to pretend to be stupid.

Zhang Xiang's smile was as bright as a flower: "For example, cooperate to catch assassins." ”

The forester's body shook slightly.

Zhang Xiang said: "Outside the forester, I know that you are a smart person, so we don't have to go around in circles, I already know that you sent someone to investigate the arsonist, I don't hide it, I have been looking for the assassin who assassinated me, I must have told you before that the assassin who assassinated me and set fire to your Lin family are a group of people." ”

The forester's face was a little uncomfortable: "Donkey, Lin is just a small businessman, and now he is no longer in business, he is just an ordinary person, how can he have any ability to investigate the arsonist?" Haven't all these been done by the government all along! Lin is also waiting for news from the government, and Yang Zhutou of the government has also promised that he will give Lin an explanation, Lin doesn't want to offend anyone now, he just wants Lin's remaining family to have a safe and secure place. ”

"Smack!"

Zhang Xiang suddenly slapped the table, stood up suddenly, and looked at the forester fiercely.

Not only was the forester stupid, but even Chen Qi on the side was also startled, I don't know why the owner had such a big temper.

Zhang Xiang said viciously: "Outside the forester, I said, I don't want to go around in circles with you, and you don't pretend to be crazy and stupid with me, if I don't have all your movements, how can I come to you?" If you are not afraid to offend others, are you not afraid to offend me? Yes, I know you have some hatred for me in your heart, do you think that if it weren't for the assassins who wanted to assassinate me, they wouldn't have set fire to your Lin family, but the matter has passed, and I am also a victim, so we should work together to find out this group of assassins now, otherwise, without me, even if you find the assassins, you won't be able to do it? Find someone to kill them again? They're just doing what they're told, and even if you kill these assassins, they're just acting for the dead, and the people behind them are still at large. ”

The forester was silent, on the one hand, Zhang Xiang was reasonable, on the other hand, Zhang Xiang's expression really frightened him at this time, and he really didn't dare to offend this colt.

Zhang Xiang sat down slowly again, and his tone calmed down: "Outside the forester, you must cooperate with me, otherwise, you will never be able to take revenge." ”

After a long time, the forester finally breathed a sigh of relief: "What do you want me to do?" ”

"I want all the information you find in your hands, you give me these news, and then listen to me, I will send someone to teach you how to do it in the future, if it goes well, within half a month, you can find out all these assassins, and when the time comes, I will give you the gangsters who set fire to your family, as for the people behind them, you can't report it, and I will report it in the future." Zhang Xiang made a promise to him.

The forester's expression kept being entangled.

He did have some hatred for Zhang Xiang in his heart and didn't want to cooperate with him, but what Zhang Xiang said made him a little moved.

After thinking for a while, the forester suddenly asked, "I want to know, what do you want me to do?" ”

"Bait." Zhang Xiang replied directly.

"Bait?" The forester was puzzled.

Zhang Xiang explained: "If I make a move, this group of assassins will not show their faces, they will only hide deeper and deeper, and they will be more cautious, so I want you to be bait, borrow your hand, you can rest assured, I will send someone to keep you safe, and you will not be harmed, as long as they make a move on you, they can follow the vine and find them all out." ”

"Can I think about it?" The forester was still entangled, he didn't trust Zhang Xiang very much in his heart, he was afraid that this colt would use him as cannon fodder.

Zhang Xiang nodded: "I'll give you a night to think about it, before noon tomorrow, you send someone to my house to give me news, if I don't receive your news before noon, then I will give up cooperating with me, then you do yours, I will do mine, and we will never interfere with each other again." ”

"Chen Qi, let's go."

After speaking, Zhang Xiang got up directly and walked away.

Leaving the forester who was still tangled and fell into deep thought...
