Xiao Chen suddenly pushed the door open, and Lin Benjian, who was saying bad things about him, quickly shut up, his face full of embarrassment. -.-

"Chen Gongzi is here, just waiting for you. Lin Hongyi was still as polite as before, stood up and pointed to the seat on the left and said, "Hurry up and sit down, how about it, is it going well in the official mansion?"

The little marquis replied with a smile: "It is very smooth, the 1,200 taels of silver have been received, and when everyone is full of wine and food, they can divide the money." ”

"Divide the money?" Lin Hongyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately waved his hand and said: "The Lingshan horse thief was single-handedly exterminated by you, and it has nothing to do with us, how can you be embarrassed to share the money with you, you deserve that money." ”

"As the saying goes, those who see have a share, and I'm not the kind of person who is stingy. "He was extremely generous.

This made Lin Benjian even more embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look directly at him.

"Hehe, don't talk about this, Chen Gongzi is really a generous person, everyone must be hungry after a day's walk, hurry up and eat. Lin Hongyi took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, and the others followed suit.

Although Lin Die still had a little resentment towards him, Xiao Chen had saved the caravan from danger twice after all, and he had shown so generous just now, that the little hatred left suddenly disappeared without a trace.

In fact, he has no hatred for Xiao Chen, it's just that the girl is thin-skinned, and he peeked at him in the bath and was close to him, isn't it too shameless.

At this time, Xiao Chen was very enthusiastic and frequently raised a glass to her, and the relationship between the two became very harmonious.

Seeing this scene, Lin Hongyi smiled, he wanted to act as a peacemaker for the two of them, but before he could speak, his daughter and Chen Gongzi had already abandoned their previous suspicions, which was really good.

After three rounds of drinking, the little marquis glanced at Lin Benjian quietly, and said: "Shopkeeper Lin, although your merchant group has safely passed the crisis of being robbed by horse thieves, the real crisis has not passed. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the dinner table immediately changed, Lin Hongyi put down his chopsticks and said, "Chen Gongzi, what do you mean by this?"

The little marquis smiled: "I don't know if Shopkeeper Lin has heard a word, I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves." ”

Lin Hongyi frowned and said, "Gongzi Chen, Lin is stupid, can you be more specific?"

Lin Die also put down her chopsticks, and looked at Xiao Chen with a pair of big eyes that could speak, she seemed to have guessed something from his words, but she just couldn't concretize the conjecture.

Xiao Chen said in a non-hurried tone: "Shopkeeper Lin, haven't you thought about how you met the Lingshan horse bandits so coincidentally? As far as I know, the lair of the Lingshan horse bandits is three hundred miles away from the place where they robbed us, and they have to set off at least one day in advance. If you hadn't gotten the news in advance, how could you have met your merchant group so coincidentally?"

Lin Hongyi raised his eyebrows: "I did doubt it, what do you mean ......"

"That's right!" he said the point directly: "Unfortunately, there are internal ghosts in your merchant group who secretly collude with horse thieves, so they will appear on your road after all." ”

What, there are inner ghosts!

Everyone's eyes widened, everyone you look at me and I look at you, everyone is in a hurry to show that they are not internal ghosts.

Before Lin Hongyi could speak, Lin Die slapped the table: "Who is it?"

This girl is really hot, why didn't she learn the composure of her father, hey, young man!

Lin Benjian was the most intense, and his head was full of green muscles: "Who is the inner ghost? Chen Gongzi, you can't be alarmist, just because our caravan has encountered horse thieves, is there an inner ghost colluding with them?"

"Why, shouldn't there be such suspicions?" he asked rhetorically.

"It is indispensable to guard against people, and it is understandable that you have doubts. Lin Benjian just looked at him and said, "But if you want to say who is the most suspicious, I don't think it's the people of the caravan, but you!"

"Why?" the little marquis smiled.

Lin Benjian had his own reasons: "Because you are an outsider, and the others are all old fellows in the caravan, they are like brothers and sisters, how can you betray your own brother?"

The little marquis laughed: "I colluded with the horse bandits to take away your goods, so why did I kill the horse bandits again?"

Lin Benjian blushed, and he continued: "Originally, this is a matter of your Lin Clan's business group, and I really shouldn't be an outsider to make irresponsible remarks, but what I hate most in my life is a traitor, so I don't vomit or be unhappy." ”

Lin Hongyi saw that he didn't look like he was joking, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Gongzi, since you say so, you must have some suspicions, who is that inner ghost, please say it in front of everyone." ”

"Yes, say it!" Lin Die agreed, and Lin Benjian and the others also agreed.

Xiao Chen picked up the teacup, took a sip unhurriedly, and then put down the cup, seeing that the eyes of a group of people were about to burst into flames, he said: "This person is the cousin of the shopkeeper Lin, the deputy shopkeeper Lin Benjian!"

"You are talking nonsense!" Lin Benjian jumped up directly from the chair: "You spew blood, and you beat me upside down, you see that I always say bad things about you to my cousin, so you retaliate against me, don't you?"

"I'm not the kind of villain who talks about right and wrong behind my back, do you think I'm the same as you?" Xiao Hou Ye smiled and said: "Do you want a dog to jump off the wall in a hurry, is it that I said it, otherwise why are you so excited?"

Lin Benjian's angry mouth fluctuated for a while: "Gongzi Chen, I respect you before I call you Gongzi Chen, but if you don't make it clear today, even if I am not your opponent, I will fight with you endlessly!"

Lin Hongyi looked at his red-faced cousin and said, "Chen Gongzi, you said that he is an inner ghost, do you have a certificate?"

The little marquis nodded and said: "When the horse thief first appeared, I felt that something was wrong, do you remember that Lin Benjian asked you to discuss countermeasures? At that time, I didn't doubt him, until the shopkeeper Lin came back from negotiating with the horse thief, they gave you three minutes, but you only said a few words to us, and the three masters couldn't wait to beat the horses over, do you know why?"

Lin Hongyi shook his head: "It's really strange to say, they won't even be able to wait for three minutes, why on earth?"

Xiao Chen's eyes were fixed on Lin Benjian, and he said, "Because someone secretly gestured to the horse thief, everyone's attention was on Shopkeeper Lin at that time, so no one noticed. But what he never expected was that I, an outsider, would be observant. Not surprising, because I didn't take horse thieves seriously from the beginning, so I naturally had the energy to observe other things. Deputy Shopkeeper Lin, do you dare to do the actions you did at that time in front of everyone again?"

Without waiting for Lin Benjian to react, he continued: "This time in business, Shopkeeper Lin took all his net worth and borrowed a lot of debts, he couldn't afford to pay it, so he was extra careful along the way, and he didn't even tell the guys the route." In addition to him, only Miss Die'er and your deputy shopkeeper Lin know the route, and the horse thief can set up an ambush in advance, how can there be no exact information?

Lin Hongyi is the shopkeeper of the business group, and of course he will not collude with horse thieves. As his daughter, Lin Die has a deep father-daughter relationship, and there is no reason to collude with outsiders to destroy his own business.

Therefore, only you, Lin Benjian, are suspected of colluding with horse thieves to betray intelligence! The horse thieves robbed this batch of goods, and you will get an unusually rich dividend, and I killed them, and your plan failed, so you can't help but hold a grudge against me, so you keep saying bad things about me in front of the shopkeeper Lin. Do you still want to deny it?"

Lin Benjian sat on the chair with a slump in his buttocks, his old face pale.
