"Did you hear that? In the past two days, a very capable junior has come to the cottage. ”

"Is that the little ghost named Zhang Huang? Why haven't you heard of it? As far as I know, our big leader Xu admires that little ghost very much, and on the day that the little ghost came to join our Taishan army, the big leader Xu appointed him as a little leader, and he really envied the dead. ”

"But that little imp does have the ability. Not only did I rescue the brothers who were taken away a few days ago, but I also arrested the guy who dared to tease my Taishan army's tiger whiskers. ”

In the main village of Taishan thieves, a group of Taishan thieves were talking there.

Two days later, Zhang Huang really lived up to Xu Xun's high expectations, and brought the murderers Zang Ba, Chen Dao, and Shan Fu to Xu Xun.

"Leader Xu, Zhang Huang lived up to your expectations and brought you the thief who caused the accident."

It was in the hall of the meeting again, Zhang Huang presented Zang Ba, Chen Dao, and Shan Fu, who were tied into zongzi, in front of Xu Xun. Behind the three of them, there were Wu Dun, Yin Li and more than a dozen other Taishan thieves who had been imprisoned and kidnapped to patrol the mountain.

"Well done." Zhang Huang came back safe and sound, and brought back the thief who caused the accident, which made Xu Xun a little unexpected, he nodded approvingly at Zhang Huang, and then waved his hand to the junior brothers behind Zang Ba and the others and said, "It's good that you come back safe and sound, Xu still has something to ask these three people, you can go down for the time being." ”

Even though the dozen or so small mountain patrol minions hated Zang Ba and the three of them, they didn't dare to disobey when they saw Xu Xun speak, and retreated respectfully. Only Wu Dun and Yin Li looked at Zang Ba with worried faces, and after glancing at each other, they hesitated for a moment and did not move their steps.

Although Xu Xun was a little surprised by Wu Dun and Yin Li's abnormal behavior, he didn't pay attention to it, he set his eyes on the three Zang Ba who stood proudly and did not kneel under the hall, and asked with a frown in a somewhat incomprehensible tone, "What are the names of the three of you?" What grievances do you have with my Taishan army? Why are you embarrassed by my Taishan army? ”

"Humph!" Zang Ba, Chen Dao, and Shan Fu snorted coldly, posing as if they were at home, and they were stunned and didn't speak.

In addition to Zhang Huang, Li Tong, Wu Dun, and Yin Li, Sun Guan did not leave, and glared at Zang Ba and the three of them with gritted teeth, seeing that they turned a blind eye to Xu Xun's questioning, he said angrily, "Big leader, these three guys plotted to kill my brother Taishan Army, and they are so rude to the big leader this time, if you give them some color to see, maybe they will speak." ”

Zhang Huang was a little angry when he heard this, but at this time, he was not good at defending Zang Ba and the others, but at this moment, he saw Wu Dun couldn't help but step forward, and said to Xu Xun respectfully and eagerly, "Big leader, Wu Dun of the small character has something to say. ”

Xu Xun was mistaken, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Xu will make the decision for you in this matter, and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." ”

Unexpectedly, when Wu Dun heard this, his face suddenly changed, his expression became more anxious, and he said in a loud voice, "No, no, the big leader misunderstood, Wu Dun didn't want to take revenge on them......"

Behind him, Yin Li couldn't help but stand up and help, "Big Chief, just listen to Wu Dun, these three people kidnapped me and the others, but in fact, it was out of helplessness!" ”

[Huh?] ]

Zhang Huang looked at Wu Dun and Yin Li with some surprise, he couldn't figure out why they would explain it for Zang Ba.

And Xu Xun was even more surprised, and after being slightly stunned, he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" Wu Dun, you tell me more about it. ”

Hearing this, Wu Dun took another step forward, pointed at Zang Ba and said to Xu Xun, "Big leader, this is Zang Cao's son!" ”

"Zang Prison Cao? Which Zang Prison Cao? ”

"It's Taishan Prison Cao, Zang Jiezang Prison Cao!"

"What?" Xu Xun's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he even sat up straight subconsciously, looked Zang Ba up and down, and asked in surprise, "Are you Zang Cao's son?" What's your name? ”

Where did Zang Ba know about Taishan Jun and his father Zang Jie, nodded in disbelief, and said, "The eldest husband will not change his name, sit or change his surname, Zang Ba and Zang Xuangao are also!" Taishan Prison Cao Zangjie is his father. ”

"It's actually Zang Prison Cao's son......" Xu Xun muttered to himself, there was still a hint of murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at Zang Ba before, but now he retreated completely, rubbing his hands lightly, and was silent.

[Opportunity!] ]

Zhang Huang's eyes lit up, and he slowly poured Xu Xun a glass of water, but where Xu Xun couldn't see, he gently shook the white powder in a small paper bag in the palm of his hand into the teacup. Then, he shook the teacup slightly, letting the white powder melt into the tea, and then handed it to Xu Xun quietly.

"Leader Xu recognizes this person?" Zhang Huang asked casually, but his heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.

It's no wonder, after all, Xu Xun has already shown his strong strength before, and it is unceremonious to say that under normal circumstances, even if Zhang Huang's black feather crows are all on it, it will not be this Xu Xun's opponent. And now, their black feather crows want to plot against Xu Xun, even if it is Zhang Huang, they can't help but feel a kind of nervousness in their hearts as if they are about to suffocate.

And Zang Ba and the others obviously noticed Zhang Huang's actions, although the expression on his face did not change, his heartbeat was also different from before.

Especially Zang Ba, who was eager to save his father, was ready to break free from the rope at any time and cooperate with Zhang Huang to kill Xu Xun. Don't look at the ropes on the three of them, it seems to be tightly tied, but in fact, they are all live buckles, as long as Zhang Huang sends a signal, Zang Ba, Chen Dao, and Shan Fu can break free at any time.

The arrow is on the string and ready to go!

However, at this critical moment, an accident happened, Xu Xun took the tea handed by Zhang Huang, but he didn't drink it, just looked at Zhang Huang with puzzled eyes, and asked with some concern, "What's wrong?" Suddenly, the heart beats faster...... Injured? ”

[Not really, right?] Can you even hear my heartbeat? Wait...... Can he hear our heartbeat? ]

Zhang Huang's eyes changed slightly, and he shouted in his heart.

And at this moment, Xu Xun seemed to notice something, turned his head to look at Zang Ba, Chen Dao, and Shan Fu, and after looking at the three of them a few times, he turned his head to look at Zhang Huang and Li Tong again.

At this time, there was already a look in his eyes that made Zhang Huang feel very frightened.

[He...... Noticed? ]

Zhang Huang subconsciously held his breath, even if he endured it in every possible way, his forehead still couldn't help sweating frequently.

You must know that their only advantage over Xu Xun is to be surprised, to put it bluntly, it is a sneak attack. And if Xu Xun is asked, let alone five people, even if it is fifty people, it may not be able to hurt Xu Xun.

Thinking of the strength that Xu Xun had shown before, Zhang Huang couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, and he could only sincerely hope that Xu Xun would quickly drink the cup of tea with sweat medicine.

But unfortunately, after Xu Xun glanced at Zhang Huang with a smile, he put down the teacup, shook his head and said with a pleasant face, "Xu is not thirsty." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Huang chuckled in his heart, he vaguely realized that his group might have been exposed.

Just when he was slightly at a loss, Xu Xun said to Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Sun Guan, "You three go down first, Xu will interrogate these three people in private." ”

"Yes, Grand Chief." Seeing Xu Xun speak, even if Wu Dun and Yin Li had the intention to say a few good words for Zang Ba, they didn't dare to speak anymore, so they could only leave the house obediently with Sun Guan.

As soon as they left, the whole room fell silent, so silent that even the air seemed to freeze.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Xun suddenly laughed, looking back at Zhang Huang shook his head and smiled, "It seems that Xu is going to retract his previous evaluation of you...... Even if the world is sinister, there is bound to be a place for you to make a name for yourself! ”

"What the big leader said, Zhang Huang didn't understand......"

Looking at Zhang Huang with a smile, Xu Xun said softly, "Do you really think that the five of you can harm Xu?" ”

Zhang Huang and the other five people in the room suddenly changed their faces when they heard this, among them, Zang Ba, Chen Dao, and Shan Fu subconsciously broke free from the rope, but Xu Xun was unmoved, still covering his knees with his hands and eyes, and looked at the five little ghosts with a smile to surround him.

"Every time something goes wrong at a critical time......" Sighing in annoyance, Zhang Huang took out a few pieces of rune paper from his arms for the first time, and at the same time, his eyes looking at Xu Xun were no longer as harmless as before.

It is not difficult to guess that Zhang Huang is planning to work hard, after all, Xu Xun's strength has left a deep impression on his heart.

And Zang Ba and the other four were obviously aware of the current situation, and their whole bodies were tense and ready to go.

Xu Xun was stunned, and suddenly, he raised his hand and shouted softly, "Junior, don't be impulsive!" Xu has an old relationship with Zang Prison Cao, and he doesn't want to hurt you, he just wants to talk to you a few words. ”

This light drink finally woke up Zhang Huang, Zang Ba and others who were forced to be anxious.

"You know your father?" Zang Ba stared at Xu Xun with a suspicious gaze.

Xu Xun chuckled lightly and said lightly, "Xu didn't deceive you. If Xu intends to take you down, not to mention that there are hundreds of brothers of my Taishan Army in this cottage, just Xu Mou will do it himself, and the five of you will not be able to parry......" Speaking of this, he glanced thoughtfully at the rune paper in Zhang Huang's hand.

It is not difficult to guess that this former county lieutenant of Juping County may recognize what it is.

"Really?" Zang Ba's eyes were still full of distrust.

Seeing this, Xu Xun didn't talk nonsense, took a slight breath, and suddenly, a powerful momentum that seemed to be overwhelming enveloped the five people in an instant, except for Zhang Huang and Li Tong, who had already understood the power of Xu Xun's oppressive force, Zang Ba, Chen Dao, and Shan Fu turned pale in horror. Although they had already learned about it from Zhang Huang, their personal experience was completely different from listening to others' descriptions.

After only a breath or two, Xu Xun's powerful momentum was put away again, and Zhengse said to Zang Ba, "Do you believe it, junior?" ”

Zang Ba didn't say a word.

It is undeniable that in the face of the strong strength displayed by Xu Xun, he has no confidence.

"Let's all sit down and tell Xu the ins and outs of this matter." Xu Xun raised his hand and beckoned the little ghosts to sit down in front of him, during which he smiled and said to Zhang Huang, "Little Leader Zhang is a smart person, but he must understand right and wrong, not be deceived by others, and do things that hurt relatives and make enemies happy." ”

Zang Ba and the others looked at Zhang Huang when they heard this, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

Zhang Huang glanced at Xu Xun deeply, and saw that his eyes were still the same, and after a little hesitation, he nodded, and sat down cross-legged on the ground in front of Xu Xun, but the rune paper in his hand was not in his arms.

Seeing this, Zang Ba and the other four also sat down on the ground.

"Tell me the whole thing. Why did the five of you set a trap and calculate Xu. Xu Xun asked again.

Zang Ba hesitated slightly, and then told Xu Xun about the agreement between him and Taishan Taishou He Ying, including his father's dissatisfaction with He Ying's various evil deeds, and He Ying was arrested and imprisoned instead of theorizing, only to hear Xu Xun frowning again and again.

"It turned out that it was caused by the persecution of He Ying's dog thief......" After listening to the ins and outs of this matter, Xu Xun suddenly realized, looked at everyone and nodded approvingly, "For the sake of my father, I will not hesitate to go against my Taishan army; For the sake of his brothers, he did not hesitate to go to the danger and live and die together...... Okay, good, although you are juniors, but the five of you, you value love and righteousness, and you can be called the best among the juniors! ”

Seeing that Xu Xun, the object who was originally going to be eliminated, actually praised himself and the others in turn, the little ghosts of the Black Feather Crow couldn't help but be a little stunned.

At this time, he saw Xu Xun snort coldly, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, after all, he is still too young, young and vigorous, do you really think that if you kill Xu, why should the dog thief fulfill what he should do before?" ”

Zang Ba and the others looked at each other.

"That's not a good thing!" Cursing viciously, Xu Xun gritted his teeth and said, "Last year, my Juping County suffered a major drought and had no harvest, Xu had no choice but to lead the local county people to He Ying, but who would have thought that He Ying looked full of morality, but it was actually something inferior to pigs and dogs!" ”

"Last year?" Shan Fu was stunned, and interjected curiously, "I heard that Xu ...... last year The leader of Xu Da had a conflict with He Ying in Taishan County because of the rice grain, and he was angry and went to Taishan ......"

"You've all heard? Yes, it is because of the rice grain. Xu Xun sighed when he heard this, and asked indifferently, "In your opinion, who is to blame for this matter?" ”

"This ......"

The Black Feather Crow was silent, after all, according to the news in Taishan City, Xu Xun was dissatisfied with He Ying only knowing how to treat the people of the city well, but ignoring the refugees from Juping County, saying that Xu Xun was insatiable and planned to rob the grain in Taishan County to his own county people, which led to a conflict with He Ying, and finally caused a tragedy of fighting each other. But they didn't dare to say it.

"In your hearts, most of you think Xu has had, right?" Seeing that a few little ghosts were silent, Xu Xun may have thought of something, smiled bitterly, and then sighed and said, "Near Mount Tai, it is rumored that the riot in Taishan County last year was caused by me Xu Xun, but who knows the truth?" ”

"I want to hear about it!" Zhang Huang said, he vaguely felt that there was really something secret about this matter.

After a slight pause, Xu Xun lowered his voice a little and said, "It is said that Taishan County is short of food, however, is Taishan County really short of food?" Don't forget, this is Tarzan County! It's the rule of a county! Why is there enough grain in other counties in the county, but Taishan County, where this county is located, is short of grain? ”

"Huh?" Zhang Huang thought about it carefully when he heard this, and also felt that this matter was a bit incredible.

However, Li Tong, Chen Dao, and Zang Ba failed to figure out the key, and asked in surprise, "Isn't it because of the reception of many refugees that the food supply in the city is insufficient?" ”

"This is just the news deliberately released by He Ying's dog thief, not credible!" Xu Xun raised his hand to interrupt Zang Ba's words, and said through gritted teeth, "Listen, the reason why Taishan County has insufficient food is definitely not because it has taken in refugees from all over the country and consumed too much. Before that, the granary in Taishan County was already empty! When no one knew, then He Ying secretly sold the rice grain in the county warehouse to the rice merchant at a discount, and made a lot of money from it. What do you say, the people of Juping County have eaten up the food in Taishan County, and they are all fucking bullshit! Lao Tzu, these people, all of them carried the black pot without even knowing it! Speaking of excitement, Xu Xun was so angry that his face turned red.

"What?" Zhang Huang and the others looked at each other.

"Xu Mou was also eating official food, and he led dozens or hundreds of brothers under his hands, if he was safe, Xu Mou would let the good county lieutenant of Juping County not be appropriate, and rebelled in Taishan? It's all fucking what that dog thief did! That guy himself lost the county warehouse, but he threw this black pot at the people of Juping County, and spread rumors in private, instigating the people of Taishan County, saying that we emptied his granary in Taishan County, and the people in the city would starve to death......"

"Why would he do that?" Chen Zhi asked in surprise.

As soon as the words fell, Shan Fu touched his chin and said with a smile, "What else can there be?" To cover up his crime of privately shorting the county warehouse! He sold the grain in the county warehouse to the rice merchant at a discount, and if this spread, he would be killed. ”

"Not bad!" Xu Xun glanced at Shan Fu approvingly, and continued, "At that time, Xu had a careful eye, and quietly went to the county warehouse at night to take a look, and then he understood. It's a pity that this matter was known to He Ying, who had to frame us for attacking the county warehouse where the grain was stored at night. The people of Taishan County were also confused, and they were deceived by He Yingqiao's words, and they insisted that the people of Juping County hand over the grain. We haven't taken a grain of rice in the first place, how can we hand it over? Without a word, the two sides fought, and Xu had no choice but to take people out of the county and settle down in Mount Tai. Speaking of this, Xu Xun looked at Zang Ba and said gratefully, "At that time, thanks to Zang Prison Cao's understanding of the matter, he asked someone to open the city gate and let Xu and his brothers escape, otherwise, Xu would have died in Taishan County, not to mention, and he would have suffered an injustice and bear the charge for He Ying's dog thief." ”

"My father didn't say anything about this...... Zang Ba said, his expression inevitably a little embarrassed.

"Zang Prison Cao is such an upright person, how can he care about his grace to Xu? Even though Xu is very grateful to him, he won't take it to heart when he thinks about it. Xu Xun smiled, and immediately, his face turned straight, and he said in a deep voice, "You should be instigated, Xu doesn't blame you." Xu felt that it was best for you to return to Taishan County immediately. According to Xu's view, since He Ying has already torn his face with Zang Prison Cao, most of them will not let people go lightly. Not to mention that Zang Prison Cao still has many traces of corruption and perversion of the law in his hands, in case ......"

"Kill people?" Shan Fu shouted loudly, causing Zhang Huang and Zang Ba to roll their eyes.

"Well, it's good to understand." Xu Xun nodded, and said in a deep voice, "He Ying that guy lied about the good news and framed innocent people as my Taishan army, if this incident happened, He Ying couldn't sit still in the position of Taishan Tai. In that case, do you think he will really release Zang Jicao? Seeing Zang Prison Cao go to Xuzhou Mansion to report him after being released from prison? ”

Xu Xun's words made Zang Ba's complexion change again and again.

However, Zhang Huang's expression was the same, after all, in his opinion, this may only be Xu Xun's words.

Xu Xun seemed to see Zhang Huang's thoughts, and he didn't care, and said with a smile, "What is right and wrong, you go back to Taishan County and watch with your eyes open." Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and listen to what Zang Prison Cao said. Saying that, Xu Xun took out a wooden card from his arms and threw it to Zang Ba, Zhengse said, "Zang Prison Cao is Xu's benefactor, since the benefactor is in trouble now, Xu will naturally not stand by, this is Xu's waist card when he was a county lieutenant, and the Taishan Army knows it, if there is something, you come with this waist card, and no one will stop me in the Taishan Army." When necessary, Xu will help! ”

"Thank you, Leader Xu......" Zang Ba cautiously put the waist plate engraved with the words 'Juping Wei' into his arms.

From the side, Zhang Huang looked at Xu Xun deeply, thoughtful.

The former county lieutenant of Juping County, now the head of the Taishan army, Xu Xun......

What should Taishan do......

Who are these two evildoers?

It seems that we still have to return to Taishan County and investigate carefully......
