Chapter 122: Defense

After spending more than two hundred taels of silver, Chu Fan finally sent this second lieutenant with a strange official name away.

The matter was too big, if Chu Fan hadn't cleaned up the scene in time in advance, and then hid the pirates who had laid down their weapons, I'm afraid this matter would not have been solved by spending money - the use of firearms in the middle of the night was too loud, and it was inevitable to alarm the local garrison.

In the end, Chu Fan put all the blame on the few people who had already died, and spent money just to keep the corpses.

The front foot sent the second lieutenant away, and the back foot square room entered the door.

Li Guozhu, the housekeeper, has seen some clues in the past few days, but he has no way to deal with He Jianxin - He Jianxin is Chen Xinji's person, although he is nominally his deputy, but if he really wants to make trouble, he has nothing to do.

It was too late tonight when he found out that He Jianxin's courtyard was empty, and by the time he rushed to the Fat Wind Pavilion out of breath, the ashigaru under the second lieutenant had already surrounded the place.

At that time, he felt that the sky was about to fall, he didn't know what was going on inside, and he was very worried that the reckless He Jianxin would accidentally injure his aunt after breaking in, which would kill him!

What's even more worrying is that if He Jianxin is caught by the shogunate, many points of the Eight Families and even the entire Dayuan Cottage in Nagasaki will be finished! ――As Chen Xinji's confidant, this guy knows a lot of things.

Just when he was anxious to arrange for his subordinates to go to various points to notify the evacuation, he saw that the second lieutenant who had violated the inspection was out, and it was Chu Fan who sent it out with a large group of people, which made a big stone fall to the ground in his heart - Chu Fan is fine, and the aunt will naturally have nothing to do; As long as the aunt is well, even if she doesn't mess up this errand, she may even show her face in front of the big bosses.

After a closer look, Fang Zifang's heart was even more steady-the second lieutenant didn't bring any prisoners except for a bag of silver!

Looking at Chu Fan who was smiling and groaning, Fang Zifang admired it in his heart!

Let's talk about He Jianxin's unexpected sneak attack first, Chu Fan actually resolved it cleanly while talking and laughing - you know, He Jianxin and those brothers are all old pirates who have seen a lot of big battles, how can they be so easy to deal with?

Besides, Chu Fan's handling of this matter, but he can quietly protect the enemy who sneaks up on him, how broad-minded can this be - if he wants to be replaced by other seventeen or eighteen-year-old hairy guys, not to mention that the garrison of the shogunate is coming, he will have to tie people up and send them to prison!

In the end, this late night alarmed the army, and in a short period of time, he was able to fool away the foreign generals who did not understand the language, this scheming and this skill, it was really impossible to believe that he was just a seventeen-year-old boy.

So when Fang Zifang entered the door, he saw Chu Fan ignoring him with a black face, and he felt that it was natural - no matter what, He Jianxin was still his deputy in name, and it was strange that Chu Fan would give him a good face when such a thing happened.

It was Yan Ruxue who scolded him for squirting blood, and Fang Zifang had nothing to say about this aunt, so he could only be careful with one more compensation.

In the end, it was Chu Fan who came out to play a round and asked the old pirates to write a defense one by one - even Fang Zifang himself wrote a copy and stamped it with a red thumb print - so that Fang Zifang took away all the grizzled captives, except for Chen Liuzi, who was wounded by a gunshot.

"Old Fang, to be honest, I can't trust the doctor you found," Chu Fan said when explaining why he wanted to keep Chen Liuzi, "This brother is a lead bullet, if it is left to you to serve yourself, it will probably be a death!" I'll figure it out. ”

Chu Fan's words left Fang Zifang speechless - he had indeed seen too many examples of people who had been shot and finally died of festering wounds.

Leading the captives and carrying He Jianxin's corpses on the way back, Fang Zifang once again sighed at Chu Fan's shrewdness.

According to common sense, Chu Fan should have put all the captives in his hands, but if he did this, Chu Fan would have to tear up the captives with Chen Xinji - and Chu Fan seemed to be determined to marry Yan Ruxue, in a sense, he and Chen Xinji would be a family in the future, how could the family live if they were torn apart so clearly?

Therefore, Chu Fan's hand is particularly clever in letting the captives write a defense - this matter was provoked by He Jianxin first, and it makes no sense to go to the edge of the world to show his heart, but if there is no evidence, then the matter is difficult to say; Now that the white and black characters have fallen on the paper, if Chen Xinji doesn't fight this lawsuit, if he wants to fight, Chen Xinji will only slap himself in the face!

At a young age, he actually handled such a tricky matter without leaking, this new aunt is really a demon!

Just when Fang Zifang shook his head and sighed on the snow, the demon in his heart was laughing and groaning and carrying two cloth bags into a wing room in the small courtyard.

Sitting in the wing room were Zhao Hai and Ling Ming, as well as the two guys on the boat, who all stood up when they saw Chu Fan coming in, with a happy face.

"All sit, all sit!" Chu Fan beckoned and sat down on the chair, "This time we can win so neatly, Uncle Zhao and Brother Ling are indispensable!" ”

After speaking, he put the two cloth bags on the table and said, "Here are a hundred taels of silver, you can see the ...... I don't care about other places, I will be rewarded for meritorious work, and punished for mistakes! ”

After a few people thanked him, Zhao Hai rubbed his hands and said with a flattered look, "Childe calls it that, I don't dare to be a ...... Childe treats us as brothers, and we do something to repay us, so what do you have to do, but what do you say...... To say something that is not afraid of flashing his tongue, compared with my old Zhao, the kid surnamed He is more tender...... I've been staring at him for the past few days, and he didn't notice it at all, so he dared to sneak attack us? It's not about death. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Hai looked at Ling Ming, who was silent, and said, "But when it comes to this matter, we have to talk about our Ling Ming brothers...... If he hadn't found out the clue when he went to Steward Fang last time, how would I know that the kid surnamed He had a bad intention. ”

A smile flashed on Ling Ming's face, and he said in a deep voice, "I also heard Gongzi say that this kid surnamed He used to have that to Miss Yan, so I fell in love...... When I went to Steward Fang's place, I happened to meet this kid surnamed He...... He looked at me with the wrong look, always wanting to peel me alive, and I knew that this kid had a ghost in his heart...... Sure enough, after two days of staring, Lao Zhao found that this Wang Balamb was actually transporting weapons into the house, and kept sending people to keep an eye on our tips. ”

Chu Fan patted Ling Ming's shoulder with a smile and said, "Brother Ling is amazing, just by looking at it, you can see that the other party is harboring evil intentions...... This is not something that ordinary people can do. ”

Ling Ming's narrow and thin eyes squinted involuntarily, and soon returned to normal, and said with a smile, "How can a son say so mysteriously, but he is just a tooth man...... Isn't this the ability to eat? ”

Chu Fan just said it casually, but he didn't expect him to react so much, but he became even more curious.

What secrets is hidden in this Ling Ming?
