Lin Fan, who had just come out of the county government at the moment, was in a good mood. With these five hundred taels of silver as a foundation, Gao Wensheng will not be too embarrassed, and the ordnance matter of the Inspection Department is preliminarily resolved. If the inspection department wants to improve in the future, what is needed is methodical training and real combat.

Lin Fan and his party walked out of the city gate and walked slowly. He put aside what had already happened in the county office, and immediately thought about the future of the inspection department.

What should they do next, and how should they solve it in the future.

At this time, he had no idea about the tragedy that was happening in the county government.

He didn't know that not long after he left, just because of his curiosity, he asked a few more words, and he killed a flower girl.

The flowers fell, turned into a wisp of incense, and a youthful and fresh life came to an abrupt end.

Since then, Lin Fan has repeatedly entered the county office to meet Gao Wensheng to discuss official business, but he has never seen this maid again.

Although Lin Fan had some doubts in his heart at the beginning, it was not easy to ask in front of Gao Wensheng.

But as time went by, and the situation around Yongyang became more and more urgent, he gradually forgot about it, left these things behind, and was busy with official business.

Later, Gao Wen was promoted and transferred. By chance, Lin Fan learned about this by chance.

Immediately, he was on the spot as if he had lost his soul, and mixed feelings came to his heart, and he felt guilty and regretful.

He never expected that just because he was too talkative, he would cause a stranger he never knew to lose his life.

Lin Fan wanted to find her tomb and pay respects. But time passed, and the Iraqi people had already turned into a pile of messy bones in the mass grave. At that time, there were frequent wars, the people were struggling to make a living, and the mass graves were full of bones, and even the bones were long unrecognizable.

Lin Fan had no choice but to find a bead hairpin that she had used before she was a maid from among the maids who were good friends with her and were still alive, and set up a mound for her to pay tribute from time to time.

Until Lin Fan left office, he also instructed a local person from the inspection department to take care of his life. That person has been keeping his promise to Lord Lin all his life, and every Qingming season, he will definitely go to the grave to sweep the tomb with incense, clean up and repair.

After a few more decades, the world was at peace, and the man had passed away, and the tomb gradually fell into ruins, no longer cared for, and the weeds overgrown and forgotten.

And from beginning to end, Lin Fan didn't know the maid's real name, only that the maid got a Liu'er name after being bought.

Her original name is long gone, and no one will remember it again, just as the story of it has never been known to the world.

She lived and died, leaving no trace in the world except for a low grave overgrown with weeds.

Lin Fan would not be unpredictable, and naturally he would not expect what would happen in the future.

Returning to the present and solving the ordnance matter finally made Lin Fan let go of a big stone in his heart. He had just left the city, and he was in the lead, high-spirited, and galloped on the official road.

The ditches and bumps on the official road could not affect his mood, and the war horse under his crotch seemed to feel the pleasure of his master, and ran more happily, leaving the other three far behind.

Lin Fan quickly came to a bluestone ridge, grabbed the reins, and stopped.

He looked at the steep and steep mountains on both sides, the ridges were full of strange rocks and trees, and the afternoon sun was blocked by trees and weeds, which looked gloomy and difficult to explore. You can only see a narrow official road leading to the front, which is daunting.

Lin Fan secretly said to himself: "This place is a little weird, if there is an accident on the road, it seems that it should be here!"

The three people behind hurried slowly, and finally caught up, and they couldn't allow them to take a breath, so they panted forward and asked, "My lord, why don't you leave?"

Lin Fan frowned and asked, "What kind of place is this, why does it look so sinister?"

The three of them had time to look around, and their faces suddenly became unpleasant.

One of them said: "My lord, this is Qingmuling, this can be said to be the most dangerous place in the entire Yongyang County, mountain bandits kill people and rob the road, seven or eight times out of ten happen here." This place is close to the hinterland of Hengwei Mountain, once the bandits succeed, they will enter the deep mountains, and the government will be helpless against them! So now few people dare to take this path. But! ”

The sergeant seemed to have thought of something, and his originally extremely solemn expression softened a little.

He slowed down, both to comfort Lin Fan and to comfort himself, he continued: "However, adults don't have to worry too much, although bandits are rampant, they never dare to attack officials, and nothing will happen if they think of it!"

Lin Fan looked at the forest birds that were hovering on both sides of the valley, screaming but refusing to fall back to their nests for a long time.

He knew that there must be an ambush in front of him, so he smiled softly and said: "Cheer up for a while, if something happens, don't panic, the more chaotic you are, the faster you will die!"

After speaking, Lin Fan took the lead in beating the horse forward, and the rest of the people were originally a little hesitant, but they had to follow when they saw this.

The dark valley is full of murderous opportunities, and a strong killing force may erupt at any time, drowning several people.

No one would not take their lives seriously, and at this time, even Lin Fan was nervously holding the hilt of his sword, paying attention to his surroundings with all his attention. But the slightest disturbance will cause him to be nervous, and he is really in a situation where the grass and trees are all soldiers and the wind is loud.

Lin Fan is like this, and the other three people are even more unbearable. They didn't have a mental breakdown at this moment and fled because Lin Fan seemed quite calm and led the way in front of the head. If there are really robbers rushing out, they will definitely not be able to stop them.

Lin Fan wouldn't count on them, but he couldn't resign himself to fate, although he seemed to be calm, but he was also beating drums in his heart, constantly thinking about countermeasures.

The road is getting narrower and rougher, and you can see that there are a lot more gravel on the road than when you passed it in the morning. Lin Fan had to slow down his horse, and his brows became heavier and heavier!

At this moment, the sound of the bowstring breaking the wind came. A feather arrow broke through the air, from far to near, gradually enlarged in Lin Fan's pupils, and it came in an instant.

With a loud bang, Lin Fan's sword was unsheathed and stood in front of him, and then he leaned back, and the arrow flew backwards with the tip of his nose, stabbing in the open space not far behind Lin Fan.

The first feathered arrow was like a signal, followed by scattered arrows coming from the front and back, left and right.

The arrows were not dense, and the number of bandits would not be too many, which made Lin Fan really relieved.

Lin Fan swung his sword to block the arrows that were shooting at him, and lowered his body to avoid the enemy's sight as much as possible.

He looked at the three people in a panic, someone had already been shot, and he was covering his wounds and wailing.

He shouted backwards: "Don't panic, lie on the back of the horse and rush out!"

Lin Fan knew that it was not so easy to rush out, but staying was a dead end. He clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and did not care about the horse, so he whipped it with the scabbard so hard that the horse was in pain, and suddenly accelerated, and rushed out of the valley.

The others followed behind Lin Fan and wanted to rush out. Their horses had already been hit by arrows, and they didn't even need to be struck by them, and they were already neighing and galloping.

When he was about to rush out of the valley, Lin Fan was suddenly pulled up a tripwire in front of his horse.

The war horse was weightless and fell to the ground forward, and Lin Fan already had a premonition in his heart. The thief came prepared, and he would definitely not let him rush out so smoothly.

He had been prepared for this, and when the war horse leaned forward, his body took advantage of the horse's forward momentum, and quickly rolled forward a few times, unloading the momentum.

He took refuge behind a boulder to block the arrows.

Lin Fan is very skilled and can do this, but the people behind him are not as lucky as him.

The soldiers couldn't cope with the situation, and all of a sudden, they were made by this tripping rope and turned over on their backs, and they fell into a mess, and they could only lie on the ground and roll and wail!

Lin Fan saw that he couldn't rush out, so he let go of the last bit of luck. He sat on the ground with his back against the stone, panting softly. When his breath was even, he hid behind the stone and shouted: "I don't know where the heroes came to intercept and kill us, and now, we can't escape, can we come out to meet?"

At this time, more than 30 people slowly walked out of the dense forests in the valleys on both sides, and one by one they were fierce and vicious, surrounding Lin Fan.

Lin Fan chuckled: "For me, it's a big battle!" I wonder which of you is the leader, can you show up? ”

No one answered, several archers had already aimed at Lin Fan's hiding place, and the rest of them also held the blades in their hands tightly, waiting for an order to shoot him on the spot.

Lin Fan sneered: "What! Don't even dare to let me die? I thought that although you were thieves, you could be regarded as daring, but now I am a little disappointed in you! ”

At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked a little low but very sturdy stepped out of the crowd, and he waved his hand to let everyone put down their weapons and no longer be tense.

Then he slapped his face and said to Lin Fan appreciatively: "Good boy, bold enough!" Having such courage at such a young age really makes me appreciate you a little, it seems that you are different from those dog officials with wine bags and rice bags! ”

Lin Fan arched his hand at him and chuckled: "Thanks to the compliment, I don't know where the hero is, where did I offend Your Excellency?" Even your Excellency came to intercept and kill! If you are new to the next year, if you are not thoughtful, I hope you will forgive me! ”

The short man laughed: "Haha, you didn't offend Lao Tzu!" But taking people's money and eliminating disasters from others, Lao Tzu took other people's money, and he always had to do things for others, right? It's only your kid who offended someone, and someone wants your life! ”

"Oh, is it? Can you tell me who is going to take my life and let me die? Lin Fan was not surprised to get this result, and asked him with some curiosity.

The short man shook his head, "No, people like us who come out to mingle with the rivers and lakes are talking about morality!" How could he betray his employer, wouldn't this ruin his reputation? ”

"All right, boy! If you want to know who is going to kill you, go underground and ask Lord Hades! Come, let the uncle send you on your way! You have to remember what Lao Tzu looks like, so as not to shout injustice to the wrong person in the ground! ”

This person's words caused the bandits to laugh, and in their eyes, Lin Fan today is no different from the cattle and sheep to be slaughtered. They were all vicious, smiling fiercely, and naked murderous machines emerged.

Lin Fan hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!"

The short man unabashedly showed disdain in his eyes, he thought that the young man in front of him was a man, but he never thought that he was also greedy for life and afraid of death.

He said disdainfully: "What! Scared? ”

Lin Fan said as a matter of course: "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, who can not be afraid?"

Lin Fan asked him casually, and he didn't wait for the short man to answer, he pointed at the few sergeants of the Inspection Division who had fallen to the ground.

And then he said, "But! If you want to kill me, my retinue are all innocent, but they have followed me to suffer the disaster of pond fish. If you want to kill them, you have to kill them, dare to ask if you can let them go? ”
