Lin Fan asked them all to pull them up, pointed at Zhang Yanji and the others with one hand and said to them: "We still have things to do here, you go back to the camp of the Inspection Division first, they will send people to protect you all the way!"

"If we don't go back tonight, don't worry, let the people left behind over there get you something to eat, just say I said, eat and drink enough to sleep well, and wait in peace. We'll be back tomorrow night at the latest, and we'll make arrangements for the rest of the day! ”

After arranging things here, Lin Fan said goodbye to Zhang, Yang and those women, and took the people of the Inspection Department to part ways with the rest of them.

On the way to Heilin Ridge, An Ning asked Lin Fan curiously, did he really want to give the credit to those garrisons in vain? He also said that he was afraid that this would make his brother dissatisfied, and there would inevitably be some complaints in private.

Lin Fan just looked at him and smiled, but didn't reply.

Naturally, he didn't give his credit to Zhang Yanji and others for no reason, the reason why he did this was because there were still many places where he needed their assistance in the future.

If you want people to cooperate with you wholeheartedly, you must always show some sincerity for others to see. Otherwise, if others are unwilling, even if they reluctantly cooperate, the effect will be greatly reduced.

In addition, today is the first battle, and there will be more opportunities for meritorious service in the future, so there is no need to be so careful. A lot of times if you want to get things done, you can't take things too seriously.

and Zhang Yanji seems to be quite old-fashioned, and Lin Fan doesn't believe that he will be short-sighted enough to be greedy for all the credit and offend himself for the sake of this small profit in front of him, so as to give up the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the future.

Moreover, Lin Fan is the chief officer of this operation after all, and the credit of the Inspection Department cannot be erased no matter what, so there is no need to worry too much.

Besides, how shrewd Gao Wensheng is, who can guarantee that there is no eyeliner in the garrison or the inspection department. Therefore, it is not so easy to hide from him, and I am afraid that he knows very well what the situation is in this matter.

In fact, the main reason is not only this, mainly because Lin Fan acted without informing Gao Wensheng this time, and even directly forced Song Mao to death, which will definitely make Gao Wensheng, the county magistrate, extremely unhappy.

Although Lin Fan's original intention was to prevent leakage, it was undoubtedly beyond the rules; A court official who is in the ranks, no matter what, it is not Lin Fan's turn to deal with it.

If Lin Fan reports by himself this time, even if Gao Wensheng is not held accountable for the time being because he is still useful, he will inevitably be put on a hat to exclude dissidents.

Gao Wensheng will definitely restrain him in the future, and he will no longer mess around, and his situation will be predictable at that time.

If this matter comes out of someone else's mouth, there will be some room for change. After all, Zhang Yanji and they witnessed and participated in the whole process, and these words coming out of their mouths are more objective and credible.

And since they have inherited Lin Fan's favor, they will naturally say good things for Lin Fan intentionally or unintentionally, at least they will not add fuel to the smear attack.

Sometimes that's it, these words Lin Fan himself said to exclude dissidents, and if they were said from other people's mouths, it would become a cleaning portal.

In this way, it can also eliminate some of Gao Wensheng's bad feelings, and it will not affect the following actions too much.

Thick smoke rose into the air in the direction of Yanhuan Mountain, and the Black Forest Ridge, which was only separated by a few hills, would naturally not be invisible.

Although I don't know what happened in Yan Huanshan, it doesn't affect the big boss Ma Sanjin to have a bad premonition about things.

Ma Sanjin looked at the black smoke that had gradually dissipated in the distance, and frowned. The brother who was sent to find out the news has not returned yet, and I don't know if there was some accident and was delayed on the road.

Since he has not been able to get the news, Ma Sanjin's heart is a little blocked, his mood is getting heavier and heavier, and his premonition is getting stronger and stronger, and he always feels that something is about to happen.

In fact, he didn't have a good impression of Li Tianming in Yan Huanshan, and he could even be said to have disgust.

In the past few years, Yan Huanshan has not been less oppressive of other smaller mountains, because of its proximity, his own Heilin Ridge is the first to bear the brunt, often bullied by them, and was asked to pay them some money and women.

Ma Sanjin was also annoyed by this, but his strength was not as good as others, so he could only endure it again and again.

Especially since half a year ago, Li Tianming has suffered a big loss from the government, and he has become more and more intensified, and has always wanted to annex Heilinling to restore his strength.

If he hadn't resisted to the death and didn't hesitate to tear his face to fight, the current Heilinling would have already been surnamed Li.

But disgust is disgust, and now is not the time to gloat. Yan Huanshan has obviously suffered a change, and before he understands what happened, who knows if it will hurt him?

It's just that in the face of this situation, he has no choice but to send someone to investigate, and then let the remaining brothers strengthen their vigilance.

His Black Forest Ridge is just a small hill, and there are few people and little strength. Other than that, he couldn't have done anything better.

Before you know it, it's getting dark.

After nightfall, the people in the stockade were even more panicked, and Ma Sanjin asked the bandits to light torches everywhere to calm people's hearts.

"Who?" The minions on the wall saw several figures approaching the gate quickly, shouting. This alarmed the others, and they all quickly picked up their weapons and were on guard.

"Ergouzi, you're fucking blind, you can't even fucking recognize Lao Tzu?" There was a man under the stockade who cursed.

"It turned out to be Zhu Laosi! Why haven't you come back until now? The boss has been waiting for your news! What happened to Yan Huanshan, why did he make such a big commotion? When the people above heard that it was their own people who had returned, they all relaxed again.

"Alas, don't mention it, it's really fucking unlucky, it's the official army attacking Yanhuan Mountain, a big battle of four or five hundred people. If it weren't for Lao Tzu running fast, you wouldn't have been able to fucking see Lao Tzu! Open the door quickly, and when I meet the big boss, tell him to his face! Zhu Laosi said loudly.

"Okay! Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you! When the people above heard the news that the official army was attacking the mountain, they were all taken aback and did not dare to slack off. Someone promised Zhu Laosi, and hurriedly asked someone to inform Ma Sanjin.

"Wait a minute!" Without waiting for anyone to be informed, Ma Sanjin, who heard the movement, had already strode over and stopped his minions. "Don't open the door yet!"

Hearing Ma Sanjin's voice, Zhu Laosi subconsciously shook his whole body, very scared. It can be seen that this Ma Sanjin is not a person who is easy to get along with, and he is also very powerful among this bandits.

Seeing Ma Sanjin appear on the top of the stockade, Zhu Laosi opened his mouth and wanted to shout for help, but when he felt the cold touch behind him, he endured it again.

Zhu Laosi's back was cold, and he didn't dare to have any other thoughts, he knew that as long as he dared to have a trace of abnormal behavior, this short knife against his waist would not hesitate to ask for his own little life!

He could only pretend to be calm and said: "It's me who is in charge, Zhu Laosi!" Open the door! I have something important to tell you! ”

Ma Sanjin stood on top of the walled wall, looking down at the gate with a cold expression.

The night was too dark, and Zhu Laosi and the others were all standing in the shadows, dark; Although he was condescending, he couldn't see anything clearly except a few vague figures.

He didn't find anything abnormal, but he didn't know why, he always felt that something was wrong, and Zhu Laosi's performance was too abnormal.

He looked a little uneasy, and tentatively asked Zhu Laosi in the shadows, "How many of them are the sixth?" Are they all back? ”

An Ning hid behind Zhu Laosi, knowing that Zhu Laosi's abnormal behavior had attracted Ma Sanjin's attention, he quietly made a gesture behind his back with his left hand, allowing the others to quietly approach the gate of the village.

Under the threat of An Ning, Zhu Laosi could only stubbornly reply: "Yes, they are all back!" Aren't all here, brothers? ”

When he said this, not only did Ma Sanjin feel that something was wrong, but even other bandits found the problem.

If it was as usual, if they were stopped outside for so long, the following rabbit cubs should have started scolding their mothers a long time ago, they would never be so silent, when did they have such a good temper.?

Under Ma Sanjin's instructions, the only few bows and arrows in the cottage were aimed at those in the shadows, and as soon as there was a slight movement, they immediately released the arrows and shot them all into hedgehogs.

Ma Sanjin then asked, "Then let them come out and reply!"

"This, this!" Zhu Laosi was sweating profusely and stammered and didn't know how to deal with it.

Suddenly, as if he had broken out, he slammed his back elbow into An Ning's chest, and then struggled to fall forward, trying to break free from An Ning's control.

At the same time, he shouted loudly to Ma Sanjin in the cottage: "Big boss, help!" It's the official army, and the official army is coming to attack the mountain! ”

Before he finished speaking, the shouting stopped dumbly, because An Ning had already sent the short knife into Zhu Laosi's heart.

Just when Ma Sanjin asked, An Ning was already ready for this kid to turn back.

Zhu Laosi's elbow blow was blocked by him with his left hand, and then his right hand was forced, and he directly killed him with a short knife.

Hearing Zhu Laosi's words, Ma Sanjin's expression changed greatly, and he didn't care if he would accidentally hurt his own people who were coerced, and hurriedly shouted: "Release the arrows, release the arrows quickly, shoot them to death!"

An Ning took Zhu Laosi's corpse in front of him and used it as a shield. Shout to the others, "Quick, get to the door!"

The incident happened suddenly, and everyone had already prepared, and they were already slowly moving towards the gate of the village just now.

The soldiers rolled a few times, dodged the flying arrows, and came directly to the gate of the wall.

This is a dead spot for archers, and it's safe for the time being. An Ning also dragged Zhu Laosi over, he threw away the corpse full of arrows, and said to them: "Everyone do it quickly, destroy the gate of the village, and destroy it before the adults get here."

So, everyone took out the short axes that had been prepared a long time ago, and chopped up the wooden door with a bang, and the sawdust flew for a while. The wooden walled gate, which was not solid in the first place, was even more crumbling under the destruction of the official army!

Seeing this, Ma Sanjin was in a hurry, kicked on the ass of the people around him, and shouted: "What the hell are you still waiting for, why don't you go down and stop them!"
