It was noon, and the sun was shining outside the courtyard, and the cicadas were boiling. Although it is a hot season, the mountain wind gusts, blowing away a lot of heat in the mountain, which is not unbearable.

But Chen Qingshan, who has been locking himself in the house, doesn't think so. He frowned, and paced in the hall, hoping that all the screaming cicadas would be knocked down from the trees so that he could be clean for a while!

In fact, in recent times, he has always been a little restless and worried.

However, he couldn't help but be worried, in less than half a month, that young man named Lin Fan had already led people to destroy the four bandit forces in one go. Until now, there is no sign of stopping, and there is a momentum that will not give up until I finish destroying these bandits.

Today, half of the bandits in the Yokoo Mountains no longer exist.

And the rest, except for his Chen Jiazhai, the other two small forces were afraid of being approached by the government, and they all went to Shuanglongling. I don't even want a cottage, I retreat to Shuanglong Ridge and can't hold out.

This can't help but make him feel worried, it can be said that the forces in this mountain are now left with Shuanglongling and Chenjiazhai.

Shuanglongling is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has annexed other small forces, with more than 200 bandits, which has far surpassed Chenjiazhai in terms of strength. It is already obvious who the government will target next.

Chen Qingshan really had a headache, he didn't know who this Lin Fan was, and as soon as he made a move, he directly killed Yan Huanshan, whose power was faintly stronger than Chenjiazhai, and then destroyed several other families like a bamboo.

According to the information from the inquiry, although it was a continuous battle, the casualties of the government can be said to be very small. This kind of result is not something that those wine bags and rice bags can do in the past.

In addition to being frightened, he didn't think about using money to buy this person, so he would be ruined and avoid disaster.

But those guys in Pingfeng Mountain are a lesson from the past, not only was the silver sent back to the past, but it was also regarded by Lin Fan as the next target, and it was directly destroyed. There was no way, so he had to put out this thought.

Chen Qingshan didn't dare to underestimate Lin Fan, he had been thinking hard about how to solve it these days, but no matter how he thought about it, it was a dead end.

As far as he knew, Lin Fan would not be merciful to them bandits. And after Lin Fan destroyed Pingfeng Mountain, he had been alive for several days, but after he rested, it was not far from his next move.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scold that Li Tianming again in his heart, and even wanted to pick up his corpse and dismantle it.

You say that you are looking for death yourself, why do you want to provoke such a strong man without dying?

It's good now, not only did I lose my life, but I also caused everyone to be unlucky, so that everyone couldn't live in peace!

However, he was complaining in his heart, he actually knew in his heart that no matter whether Li Tianming had this kind of thing or not, Lin Fan would attack them sooner or later. And Li Tianming's matter is just a hands-on introduction for Lin Fan.

To say that most of the other thieves in this Hengwei Mountain are some outsiders who have fallen here, and they have fallen into the mountains and occupied the mountains as kings.

Therefore, those people only want to be happy for themselves, and act without scruples, and some people even take pleasure in killing people, saying that they are doing many evils and losing their conscience.

And Chenjiazhai is different from them, the people in the village live here, the same clan and the same clan.

For hundreds of years, the tribesmen have made a living by farming and collecting medicines, and rarely communicate with the outside world, which can be regarded as a comfortable and contented thing.

It's just that in recent years, the world has been difficult, the taxes of the government have become heavier and heavier, and the clansmen have gradually become unaffordable, and there are bandits who have robbed the neighbors. In order to resist taxes and prevent bandits, the clansmen had no choice but to form a village to protect themselves.

The Chen clan has been thriving here for generations, and the people of Yongyang towns are all villagers, so they naturally have a bit of friendship.

And since there is no tax, the food produced in the village is sufficient for itself. Therefore, although Chenjiazhai has a reputation as a thief, it basically does not come out to loot, and at most it collects some tolls from merchants who come and goes, and rarely hurts people's lives.

Chen Qingshan and the others also disliked the unscrupulous bandit behavior of those people, and they were considered outliers among the bandit forces, and even provided protection to some villages at the foot of the mountain when necessary.

Generally speaking, Chenjiazhai has a good reputation among the bandit forces in Yongyang.

Just when Chen Qingshan was becoming more and more upset, a junior disciple of the clan reported outside: "Village master, there is a young man who asks to see you outside the village, saying that he wants to see you!"

Chen Qingshan waved his hand to let him retreat, and said impatiently: "No, no, no!" Just say that I have something to do, coax him away, don't you see that I am annoying? See what to see! ”

The person who came to report was embarrassed, but he still hesitated and said, "I think it's better for you to meet the owner of the village!" Because he said that he was from the government, and he came to you to discuss something. ”

Chen Qingshan was too lazy to listen to him, "What kind of government is not official, what is most annoying about me now is the official government, just say that I don't see it!" ”

He paused for a moment, and then looked at the young man seriously, "Fang Shu, you are responsible for guarding the gate of the village, you can't let anyone in to see me, you have to be assertive!" ”

Chen Fangshu was helpless, and replied yes, the owner of the village was gone, and he had no choice but to withdraw and prepare to send the young man outside back.

But just as he turned around, Chen Qingshan suddenly stopped him with a heavy face, "Wait, you just said that he was from the government?" ”

"Exactly, that's what he himself said!" Chen Fangshu replied. He didn't seem to think it was enough, and added: "He also said that he came to see you for the good of the whole village, so I want you to meet you!"

"What does that guy look like?" Chen Qingshan then asked.

Chen Fangshu shook his head, "That person is a little far away, I can't see exactly what he looks like, but he is not very old, his demeanor looks quite extraordinary, and there are two entourages behind him, so his identity should not be ordinary." ”

"Did you ask him what his name was?" Chen Qingshan's face became heavier and heavier again.

Chen Fangshu snorted, "But he only said that he came to discuss important matters with you on behalf of the government, and said that when you meet, you will naturally know who he is, and he didn't say much else." It's hard for my nephew to ask again, so I can only ask you to decide! ”

Chen Qingshan muttered to himself: "It's a young man who came, and his identity is not ordinary!" Could it be that the embryo surnamed Lin is here? ”

"Going to the meeting alone, the surname Lin shouldn't be so risky!"

Chen Fangshu didn't hear what he was talking about, and asked suspiciously, "Village master, what did you say?"

"Nothing!" Chen Qingshan looked at the most outstanding junior in this clan, and knew that he would not be untargeted, and the person outside must have persuaded Fang Shu before he would let him tell him. As Chen Fangshu's uncle, he chose to believe his judgment at this time.

He pondered for a moment, then took a breath to soothe his mind.

Then he said to Chen Fangshu: "Since you think we should meet, then let him in!"

"You go and bring him to Qingfeng Hall, and by the way, let someone call your other clan uncles over, let's all come to meet this person and see who he is!"

"Yes, I'll go!" After Chen Fangshu finished speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry, going to do what Chen Qingshan said.

With Chen Qingshan's approval, Lin Fan and the others were let in.

He took He Fang and Zhang Ping and the others, followed Chen Fangshu all the way, and didn't say much, ignoring the curious pointing and pointing of the people in the village.

Lin Fan would even make a grimace at the curious children who came up, making them laugh, and the children didn't recognize their lives and played around Lin Fan.

Looking at Lin Fan, who mingled with the children, this made Chen Fangshu feel a little that his judgment of Lin Fan just now was a little wrong, and whether it was a little too hasty to let them in.

Chen Fangshu scolded with a smile and drove away the children, let them go home, and led Lin Fan and them all the way to a courtyard that looked very atmospheric.

He made a gesture of invitation to Lin Fan and said, "This official, please come inside!" They're waiting for you inside! ”

Lin Fan thanked him and was not polite, as if he was not worried about whether the people in the village would play any tricks, raised his legs and crossed the threshold, and walked straight inside.

Chen Fangshu secretly nodded at Lin Fan's back and followed behind him, his impression of this young man was not bad, and this confidence alone was very human.

The courtyard is facing a hall, Lin Fan walked in, looked up, the plaque is written "Qingfeng Hall" three gilt characters, the pen is strong and strong, the momentum is extraordinary, as if it came from the hand of Zhang Xi, a calligrapher decades ago.

The room was spacious and bright, with a row of chairs on either side, except for the main seat in the middle, which was supposed to be the daily meeting place of the village.

Lin Fan's gaze moved downward, and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties sat high on the main seat in the middle.

Judging from the dress alone, this person does not look like a mountain king who occupies the mountain, but more like a middle-aged squire.

In addition, the chairs on the left and right sides were also full of people, most of them had white beards, and they all looked no longer young, and they were sitting on the Taishi chairs one by one, very powerful.

The first few people still didn't seem to understand what was going on, and Chen Qingshan was in a hurry to let people gather himself and others, originally thinking that something big had happened.

It can be seen that Chen Qingshan actually made such a big battle for a young man, which was a little surprising.

After getting along with Chen Qingshan for many years, these clan elders know each other well.

They didn't think that Chen Qingshan, as the owner of the village, would make a big fuss, the young man in front of him must have something extraordinary, so they couldn't help but be a little curious, and raised his eyes to look at Lin Fan.

Behind them stood some young people, who should be their respective juniors, and there were no less than twenty or thirty people in total.

Lin Fan nodded secretly in his heart, making such a big battle, it seems that the principals here should all be here, but they don't know which one to sing.

He bowed to the man in the middle, and said loudly: "Presumably this is the master of Chen Zhai, right?" The younger generation has seen the owner of the village! ”

Chen Qingshan looked at him for a while, and then said with a smile: "Yes, I am Chen Qingshan!" Dare to ask what kind of immortal is this Excellency? What do you have to do with my Chenjiazhai? ”

Lin Fan also smiled lightly: "Don't hide it from the owner of the village, the younger generation's surname is Lin Mingfan, the word Le'an, the current inspection envoy of the Wuguan Inspection Department, I came to visit today!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
