Chapter 196: Suspicion

It will take a few days to get a doctor, and the matter of the mountain bandits is imminent, and if I don't figure out the ins and outs of this group of mountain bandits, I won't be at ease in the barracks.

First of all, I think that this group of mountain bandits is very strange, although the combat effectiveness of the city defense garrison is average, but it should still be easy to deal with ordinary mountain bandits. How dare the mountain bandits enter Linmeng so blatantly to attack the rich? This is what puzzles me the most.

I asked, "Who was the first to spot the bandits?" Is it those nursing homes? ”

Tan Zhenshan said: "That's not it, it's Guifu." I got a telescope for him, just to let him be in charge of the safety of the Tan family. Guifu really lived up to my expectations, it was he who found the mountain bandits, and notified the nursing home to go to the upper building to resist. ”

I thought about it for a while, and then I ordered the servants who were standing at the door to wait, and said, "Go and call your blessing." ”

After a while, Guifu followed his subordinates to the living room, saw Tan Zhenshan sitting here, and hurriedly saluted, saying, "Master, what do you have to tell me?" ”

Tan Zhenshan said: "It's my uncle who wants to ask you about the mountain bandits, and if you ask anything, you can just answer truthfully." ”

Guifu said, "Yes." Master. ”

I said, "Guifu, when the mountain bandits came, what time was it?" ”

Guifu thought for a moment and said, "It's about eleven o'clock at night. ”

I said, "Oh, around eleven o'clock, that is, it was close to late at night...... How did you find the bandits? ”

Guifu said: "At that time, I was on the gatehouse, and during my routine inspection, I found that there was a dark shadow moving towards the door of our house at the big locust tree. I picked up the binoculars and saw that they were all people wearing military uniforms and holding guns, and I felt that something was wrong in the middle of the night, so I called the nursing home to defend. ”

I nodded, praised and said, "Guifu, your protector is meritorious, thanks to your alertness, you didn't let the mountain bandits surprise the Tan family." After a hard work, I will discuss with the master how to treat you! You go down first. ”

Guifu bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, uncle, this is what I should do, if you are rewarded, don't say anything more." ”

After saying this, Guifu turned and withdrew.

When Guifu walked away, I asked the servants to go down, and then I said to Tan Zhenshan: "Dad, there is something strange about this matter, I suspect that this group of mountain bandits was recruited by Guifu!" ”

Hearing me say this, Tan Zhenshan was taken aback and said, "How is this possible, Guifu came to the Tan family when he was a teenager, and I treat him like family, how could he harm me instead?" Besides, since he recruited the mountain bandits, why did he notify the nursing home and desperately protect the Tan family? Uncle, don't speculate, it hurts people's hearts. ”

I said, "I'm not speculating, my suspicions about Guifu are well-founded. ”

Tan Zhenshan said: "Oh? Tell me about your basis. ”

I said, "Guifu said that the black shadow moved from the big locust tree to the door, and then he found that it was a group of soldiers with guns. He was clearly lying! ”

Tan Qinrou had been sitting beside me, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but say, "How can you hear him lying in this sentence?" It's normal. ”

I explained, "The big locust tree must be at least 50 meters away from our doorstep!" At such a distance, it was impossible for him to see clearly what clothes the bandits were wearing and what weapons they were holding through a monocular during the Eight-Nation Alliance! ”

Looking at Tan Zhenshan's surprised gaze, I added and said, "Even if I use the latest high-powered telescope of the US military now, it is simply impossible to see clearly what the enemy is wearing at 11 o'clock at night. So I conclude that Guifu is lying! ”

Tan Zhenshan said: "Why is Guifu lying? If, as you said, he is the internal response of the mountain bandits, why did he call the courtyard to defend it? It's incredible! ”

I'm also thinking about this issue, which is what I've been puzzled about, and from this point of analysis, in fact, it is completely possible to completely overturn the fact that Guifu is a mountain bandit.

I said, "As for why Guifu suddenly called the Protector to defend against the enemy again, I can't tell you this. I only doubted him because he lied. ”

Tan Zhenshan walked back and forth in the living room, he made his business so successful, he was by no means an emotional person, he carefully analyzed my words, and naturally knew that what I said had a certain truth.

"Sihu, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?" Tan Zhenshan stopped and asked me.

I thought about it for a while and said, "There is no good way, the most convenient and direct way is to stare at Guifu." If he is really an internal response, he will definitely contact the mountain bandits, and any problems will be revealed to the world if he stares at him! ”

Tan Zhenshan nodded again and again, and said, "You're right, it's just a matter of staring at people......

I said, "I haven't done anything for this family, and since I'm in time today, I'll do it!" You're just going about your business. ”

Tan Zhenshan said: "Okay, then this matter will be handed over to you, I will go to the Chamber of Commerce in the afternoon to contact various businesses and discuss the matter of inviting a doctor." ”

Tan Zhenshan said to go, stood up and walked out.

I instructed Tan Qinrou and said, "Don't show your emotions in front of Guifu, I'm afraid that if he really colludes with the mountain bandits, it will be unfavorable to you." ”

Tan Qinrou sneered and said: "Just with Guifu's two hits, I let him two, and he is not my opponent!" ”

I said, "Auntie, of course, a noble fortune is not to be feared, what if he has a helper?" What if he had a murder weapon? What about guns? Can you be more powerful than a bullet? ”

Tan Qinrou said coquettishly: "Okay, look at your urgency!" I know what you mean, so I don't know about it. ”

I nodded and said, "It's best if you don't know, so as not to show your feet." ”

At this time, Ani also came out of the back house, and I saw that her face was ruddy, and it seemed that she was quite in love with Mrs. Tan. I noticed that there was an extra crystal clear pearl necklace around Ani's neck.

I teased Ani and said, "How's that?" Looks like you're in the mood? ”

Tan Qinrou saw the string of pearls and exclaimed: "My mother also said that she is not partial, I asked her for this pearl necklace, but I didn't give it to me, but I gave it to her daughter-in-law!" ”

I smiled and said, "Maybe this pearl necklace is passed on to men and not women, so don't make trouble." Ani and I still have business to do, you go back to your room and wait for me first. ”

Tan Qinrou was a little surprised and said, "You're not leaving tonight?" ”

I said with a straight face: "I finally went home, are you looking forward to me leaving?" ”

Tan Qinrou glared at it and said, "When you came back, you weren't busy with military affairs, so you were in a hurry like a nail on your chair." ”

Ani covered her mouth and smiled: "There are nails on the chair...... "You can figure it out......

Ani smiled and bent over, stunned Tan Qinrou with a smile, and muttered, "Is what I said so funny?" ”

Tan Qinrou doesn't understand Ani's temperament to laugh, and I don't know where the laughter of my words is, every time I encounter this situation, I have to be responsible for explaining and saying: "Ani is a girl who loves to laugh." After a long time, you will understand. ”

I turned to Ani and said, "Don't laugh, there's no nail growing on the chair, but we'll see if we can pull one out!" ”
