Chapter 341: Died in an accident
Lin Die grabbed Lin Benjian's collar, dragged him up from the chair, and said hatefully: "It turns out that you really colluded with the horse bandits, not only to rob the caravan of goods, but also to beat my idea!"
"It's not me!" Lin Benjian shouted hysterically: "Cousin, Die'er, don't listen to this outsider's nonsense. .............”
Lin Hongyi also believed a little, and snorted: "Nonsense, Chen Gongzi's analysis is reasonable and well-founded, do you still want to deny it?"
Lin Benjian broke free of Lin Die's hand and defended himself: "What is reasonable and well-founded, it is just a conjecture, can you show evidence for the surname Chen? With just a few words, you want to say that I am in the same group as the horse bandits, and there is no Wang Fa?" If you can't produce evidence, we will go to court, and I will accuse you of slander. ”
Of course, he had to defend himself, and colluding with horse bandits to plot the goods of his caravan was enough to ruin his reputation. The ones Xiao Chen analyzed just now were indeed all facts, which really scared him a lot, but after thinking about it, the horse bandits are all dead, that is, there is no proof of death, as long as you bite and don't let go, what can you do with me?
"Haha, do you want proof?" Xiao Chen spread his hands: "I really don't have it yet." ”
"Huh?" Lin Die's eyes widened, Lin Hongyi also felt very surprised, he had always thought that Chen Xiao had conclusive evidence, otherwise, how could he say that Lin Benjian was a ghost in front of everyone.
However, he said in a non-hurried tone: "Shopkeeper Lin, since he wants evidence, we might as well analyze some evidence." First of all, when you negotiated with the bandits, didn't you notice anything wrong?"
Lin Hongyi frowned: "No, I talked to them in the normal way of the rivers and lakes, and they didn't agree, it's normal." ”
The little marquis was really anxious about the intelligence of the shopkeeper Lin, and reminded: "I mean some of the words of the horse bandits, don't they make you feel strange, for example, you offered to buy the road, what did they say?"
Shopkeeper Lin patted his head: "I remember, I proposed three thousand taels of silver to buy the road, which is a lot of trees, and the average horse bandit will definitely readily agree." But they directly refused, on the grounds that the caravan's goods were worth tens of millions of yuan, and I didn't think so much about the critical situation at that time, and now I wonder how they could know the value of the goods?"
All the carriages were covered with a thick canvas, and it was impossible for outsiders to know what was inside, the value of the goods everywhere, and you dare to say that there were no ghosts in the caravan?
Lin Benjian's legs began to tremble: "So what, maybe it's Ma Bandit?"
The little marquis casually picked up a caravan man who accompanied the wine and asked, "Do you know the specific value of this batch of goods?"
The guy shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
"What about the others?" asked the little marquis again.
The guy still shook his head and said, "Everyone only knows that this batch of goods is very valuable, after all, after many years of following the shopkeeper Lin, everyone still knows a lot about the quality of the goods." But no one can say how expensive it is, and no one can calculate it clearly, dozens of big cars. ”
The little marquis was happy: "Lin Benjian, in the caravan, in addition to Shopkeeper Lin and Miss Die'er, I'm afraid only you, the deputy shopkeeper, know the most, such as the value of the goods, the caravan's route, and so on." ”
Lin Benjian was in a cold sweat: "That's right, I know all of this, but I still say that, you just rely on some seemingly well-founded inferences, you want to beat me into an internal ghost, I don't accept it!"
"There are times when you are convinced. Xiao Chen glared at him coldly, he had never had a good impression of those who dared to do it, and continued: "Back to a certain topic before, please trouble Deputy Shopkeeper Lin, please repeat the posture that the three bandits did before rushing over." ”
Lin Benjian stiffened his neck and said, "I haven't done anything!"
"Well, since you don't want to do it, I'll help you restore it. The little marquis stretched out his right hand, first put it on the side of his head, and then lowered it to his shoulder, and then clenched his palm into a fist.
Lin Hongyi's color changed, and the guys changed color, as businessmen, they knew very well what this gesture represented.
Xiao Chen put down his right hand and asked, "Everyone, what does this mean, I am a shallow learner and don't understand what it represents." ”
Lin Hongyi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "No wonder the horse bandits said that they would give three minutes, but they came over before the third master came in less than a minute, it turned out that you secretly reported the news! Chen Gongzi, that gesture means to retreat, and in that case at that time, it can be understood that we want to escape." ”
The little marquis smiled: "That's right, no wonder the horse bandits acted in advance." Lin Benjian, do you have anything else to defend yourself?"
Lin Benjian's face was red: "Chen Xiao, you framed me!"
"Why should I frame you, do you want to say that my ultimate goal is still for the goods of the merchant group?" The little marquis behaved very frankly: "After eating this meal, I parted ways with the Lin merchant group. ”
"Lin Benjian, the facts are there, what else do you have to say?" The eldest lady is worthy of a fiery temperament, and has already shown the dagger she carries with her.
The dagger flashed with cold light, and Lin Benjian gritted his teeth: "Cousin, Die'er, you listen to my explanation, I really don't have ......"
At this point, he suddenly jumped towards the wooden window next to him, slammed the window, rolled on the ground when his body hit the ground, unloaded his strength, and then spread his legs and began to run.
"If you want to run, it's not that easy!" Lin Die, who followed closely, was grabbed by an arm, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Xiao Chen, and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing, I have to chase that bastard who eats inside and out." ”
"Miss, he can panic, you are a girl, how can you jump out of the window?" The little marquis said earnestly: "Let's go to the door, the city gate is closed in the middle of the night, and Lin Benjian can't escape from Dong'an City." ”
The eldest lady raised her eyebrows: "It makes sense, then don't jump out of the window, jumping out of the window does lose the identity of a girl, thank you for reminding." ”
Lin Hongyi wiped his sweat on the side, and said in his heart, daughter, this kind of thing has to be reminded by other boys, when can you change your arrogant personality?
A group of people began to chase, Lin Hongyi was the last to walk out of the restaurant, not that he was merciful and wanted to let his cousin live, he always had to settle the bill for dinner, plus he had to compensate for other people's windows. Thinking about the loss of ten taels of silver for a broken wooden window, he was very painful.
Under the siege and interception of dozens of people, Lin Bencheng was frightened, and it was obvious that he had forgotten the common sense of closing the city gate at night, and it was not until he ran to the city gate that he suddenly woke up.
Dozens of torches were burning on the city gate tower, and when the soldiers guarding the city saw a black shadow running quickly, they immediately picked up the strong crossbow in their hands, and shouted while aiming: "What kind of person, you actually broke into the city gate at night, don't you want to die?"
Lin Benjian complained in his heart, and there was a clear sound of footsteps behind him, it must have been too late to turn back at this time, and he did not answer Xiaobing's question in a panic.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "That man is going to storm the city gate, he is an accomplice of the Lingshan horse bandits, and he is good at using twelve throwing knives, and the best thing is to shoot people standing on high places with flying knives......"
"Huh?" the little soldier was startled, and his hand shook involuntarily.
Sou......
The shaking fingers just touched the crossbow machine, and the crossbow arrows shot out, Lin Benjian just turned around to refute Xiao Chen's words, and never thought that the crossbow arrows would accurately shoot through the back of his neck.
Poof, he fell to the ground, his eyes widened, staring in the direction where Xiao Chen was.
