It was a young man of about twenty years of age, bound by ropes, wearing kudzu trousers and a blue scarf on his head. It may have been an argument with the guards before, the scarf was worn diagonally, the shirt was torn, and even the clogs were dropped.

The young man was looking at Zhang Song with a stubborn gaze, like an adolescent rebellious child facing his parents.

"What are you doing here? Are you going to try again with Chen Jia? Zhang Song asked with a smile, although he knew the man, he couldn't remember his name for a while.

Hearing Zhang Song's words, the guards laughed out loud. The young man was furious, and the veins on his neck were exposed.

"I lost to him by accident last time, and you guys are bullying people because of the number of people!"

Zhang Song didn't pay any attention to the young man's anger, but asked the guard, "How did he come to Qingsong Valley?" ”

"When it was dark, he ran to the mouth of the valley alone with a spear, and cried out that he wanted to find you, and asked him who he was, and what was the matter with you, but he did not say anything, but asked a few more questions, and he was going to break in, and we took him down and brought him to you."

"I have something to tell Zhang Song, of course I have to come in, if it weren't for four or five of you, I would have broken in." The young man said triumphantly.

"What do you have to say, you can say now." Zhang Songdao.

The young man didn't speak, but just pouted at his bound hands and motioned for Zhang Song to untie him.

Zhang Song asked the guards to untie him, and the guards untied the young man and left. The young man rubbed his hands, his face was very proud, and said, "This is the way of hospitality!" I'm hungry, hurry up and serve good food and rice, let me be full, and then talk to Zhang Song about something big. ”

"Auntie, do you still have food? Give him some and let him be full. Zhang Song said to Zhong Mu, who walked into the hall.

"It's not much, I only kept your share." Zhong Mu was a little hesitant.

"It's okay, you bring it out and let him eat it first, I'm not hungry now."

"Okay, I'll do it again." After Zhong Mu finished speaking, she hurriedly served the meal and left in a hurry.

The young man didn't care about the surprised eyes of the others, and took the meal and devoured it, while also pointing to the place next to him and asking Zhang Song to sit down.

Zhang Song ignored him, but sat down on the chief and asked Liu Xiaojun who arrived.

Liu Xiaojun was standing in front of Zhang Song, his face was pale, and his hands and feet were trembling a little.

"Liu Xiaojun, were you there when the blast furnace collapsed? Where are you if you're not there? ”

"Yu Zhangjun, I wasn't there, Father Fan happened to send someone to send a batch of bamboo hats over, and I went to get those bamboo hats." Liu Xiaojun said in a trembling voice.

"That's right, I did send someone to send a batch of bamboo hats over today, but I asked them to send them to the construction site, why do you want to pick them up?" Father Fan said.

"But they didn't send it to the construction site, and there was still a long way to go from the construction site, so they put down their bamboo hats and left." Liu Xiaojun said suspiciously.

"What's going on with these bastards! I have to ask them, they all told them to send them to the construction site, and they dare to be lazy! Father Fan got up and left.

"Then did you ask anyone else afterwards why the blast furnace collapsed?" Zhang Song asked.

"I asked, but most people didn't know the specific situation, because the collapsed blast furnace was the same one where the accident happened in Laifu, and there were very few people working there. Some people say that it is an evil ghost, the evil ghost is still there before, and the ghost who caught the ghost yesterday is not the real Taoist at all, but the old man plays it. ”

"Who came up with this rumor?"

"I don't know." The expression on Liu Xiaojun's face was a little strange, "It seems that all of a sudden, everyone said so, and when asked, they all said that someone else said it, but who said it, they couldn't tell clearly." ”

"Who told you to get the bamboo hat?" Song Pei asked suddenly.

"It's Tang Wen. He went with me at the time, and he told me all the way. Liu Xiaojun was still strange for Tang Wen to say so much.

Zhang Song and Song Pei exchanged glances, and when they saw that Liu Xiaojun couldn't say anything new, he comforted Liu Xiaojun and asked him to go back to rest first, and then continue to do his job well, and told him to keep it secret and not let people know that someone had looked for him.

Liu Xiaojun's face improved at this time, and after repeatedly promising to keep it secret, he left.

"Lord, now it seems that the construction site of the iron-smelting yard has been man-made, and the person at the head should be Tang Wen." Song Pei said, "However, I think it's better to wait until tomorrow to investigate, if you investigate tonight, it will be easy to startle the snake and get away with the accomplice." ”

"Song Jun is right, don't move for the time being, wait for tomorrow. The iron-smelting site was vandalized. The military training ground is even more man-made, and it is impossible for the 400-meter obstacle course to break down on its own. Zhang Song said.

"These people are mad! How difficult it is to build a blast furnace, and they even deliberately destroy it! It's time to behead them! The blacksmith was so angry that his eyes were red.

"It's hateful, it's hateful." The old merchant kept shaking his head.

Father Zhong didn't speak, but he also looked distressed.

The young man did not speak at this time, but concentrated on eating, as if he had come to Green Pine Valley to eat. Zhang Song shook his head, and let him be, what he said at the beginning should have been just a young and frivolous shout.

"I already asked, it was a person named Tang Wen who deliberately told the transporter not to send it to the construction site, and they agreed to it out of laziness." Father Fan's voice came from outside the door, and he was followed by two men with extremely uneasy expressions.

As soon as he entered the door, Father Fan pushed the two men in front of Zhang Song, Zhang Song asked the two men carefully, but did not get any useful information, and also told the two to keep it secret, and then let them go back.

A moment later, Yu Xinzhi came in with a tall and thin man.

"You tell Zhang Jun what happened." Yu Xinzhi said to the tall and thin man.

"Needless to say, you only need to answer me one question, why did you leave the military training ground halfway?" Zhang Songdao.

The tall and thin man had a look of shame on his face, he lowered his head and said, "Changshang and Li Jun are in a hurry, no arrangements have been made, our group of people are not Taoists, so they are a little chaotic, there are about twenty people who will go home soon, and I and seven or eight friends went up the mountain to hunt, and when I came back, I ......."

The tall and thin man muttered and didn't continue, and the few people present were dumbfounded when they heard it, and they couldn't speak for a long time, and Yu Xinzhi's face turned red.

"Yu Jun, has something happened in the village outside the Green Pine Valley recently?" Zhang Song asked after waving his hand to let the tall and thin man leave.

"No, it's been fine." Yu Xinzhi wondered why Zhang Song would ask such a question.

"Then it's strange, why don't you see young men in several villages today?" The old merchant muttered to himself.

After listening to Yu Xinzhi's words, Zhang Song was also puzzled, why didn't young men farm during the spring ploughing period?

The others didn't know Zhang Song's intention in asking this question, and they didn't want to interject, but there was silence in the hall for a while.

"I know!"

A voice rang out suddenly, and everyone followed the sound to see that it was the young man, who had finished his meal and was burping triumphantly.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the young man was even more proud, he shook his head and said, "Because they want to kill you, Li Shan and Song Pei!" ”

"Mai Yun, you are so daring, you actually ran to Qingsong Valley and talked nonsense!"

Yu Xinzhi only glanced at the young man and called out his name.

"You're talking nonsense, your whole family is talking nonsense, your children and grandchildren are talking nonsense." Mai Yun was angry, and a series of words scolded him.

"Nonsense" was a very powerful scolding sentence before the Northern and Southern Dynasties, even worse than Zhang Song's national scolding in his previous life. This is because in the eyes of the Han people, the Hu people are inferior races, and "talking nonsense" is equivalent to scolding people for being inferior races, and not speaking human words.

"Since it's not, then how do you say that those people have come to kill Zhang Jun, how can you kill it?" Maybe Yu Xinzhi also felt that he was talking a little too much, and his voice was much lower this time.

"I just heard that people are going to kill Zhang Song, Li Shan and Song Pei, as for how to kill, probably with a knife, or with a spear? You can also use wooden sticks. Mai Yun looked serious, "I don't know how they will kill, as long as they kill people, you can kill them any way." ”

"And how did you find out about it?" Zhang Song stopped Yu Xinzhi, who was about to get angry again, and asked softly.

"I heard that you are a hero, so I came to Qingsong Valley to join you. When I walked to a dense forest this morning, I went to Xiaojie and found a large group of people secretly discussing things, I eavesdropped for a while, and only then did I know that the group of people wanted to come and kill you and Li Shan and Song at night. ”

"How many people are there? What's the name of the leader? Zhang Song continued to ask, he couldn't believe Mai Yun just by saying a few words, not to mention that Mai Yun had malicious intentions towards them at the beginning.

"This, this ......" Mai Yun stammered and couldn't speak.

Everyone in the hall relaxed, laughed, and decided that Mai Yun had told a lie. Seeing that everyone didn't believe him, Mai Yun got anxious and kept scratching his head with both hands.

Just as Yu Xinzhi was about to laugh at Mai Yun again, Mai Yun suddenly said loudly: "I remember, the leader is a short and fat middle-aged man with an arrogant face and a red face, everyone calls him Mingshu, that person can't be Zhou Mingshu, right?" ”

Everyone stopped laughing, Zhang Song immediately believed four or five points, and then he asked, "What else do you remember?" ”

"I also remembered that the man named Mingshu also sent someone back to Qingsong Valley, and he said that he would let that person reveal it...... Exposing ......" Mai Yun began to scratch his head again.

Just as Zhang Song and the others were waiting anxiously, Mai Yun blinked his eyes and said, "Expose the play you played with the old merchant, yes, it's a play." ”

As soon as Mai Yun's words fell, Song Pei stood up suddenly.

"Lord, it's not good, Zhou Mingshu is going to attack Qingsong Valley at night!"
