After listening to Shao Xin's narration, Zeng Zhilin felt really incredible. He didn't understand how this Shao Xin could so easily believe his nonsense, which was obviously a lie. He forgot that this was in the 10th century, when superstition was normal and common.

In addition, what puzzled him was what this Wu Ren had so painstakingly obstructed the relocation work for. He recalled it repeatedly in his mind, but he couldn't find any information related to Wu Ren.

He pondered for a while and asked, "Shao Xin, I asked you, what is the origin of this Wu Ren?" Who else in the village listened to his rumors and decided not to move? Also, where is this Wu Ren now? ”

Shao Xin replied: "Back to the king, the villain doesn't know which people Wu Rendu said refused to move. At the beginning, he just told the villain that many villagers were willing to work with him, but he didn't tell the villain who it was. In addition, this guy only went to the villain's house once at the beginning of the move, and the villain must grit his teeth and say that he will not move. And said that as long as the villain can hold on for half a month, he will definitely be able to earn a lot of money. Later, as more and more villagers moved away, the villain was also a little uneasy in his heart, so he wanted to go to him for discussion. It turned out that he and Widow Xiao had both disappeared.

As for the origin of this guy, the villain doesn't know very well. I only know that he is a good friend of Widow Xiao. According to the villagers, he was brought back from outside the village by Widow Xiao last winter. When he came, he seemed to have been seriously injured, and he was raised at Widow Xiao's house for several months before recovering. When others asked him, he only said that he was an old friend of Widow Xiao, and when he heard that Widow Xiao lived here alone, he came to look for her. As a result, he was robbed by robbers, and not only was he robbed, but he almost lost his life. If it weren't for his life being seen by Widow Xiao passing by, I was afraid that he would have frozen to death in the wilderness. ”

After listening to Shao Xin's description, Zeng Zhilin still couldn't think of any connection between this Wu Ren and the traversers. He simply stopped thinking about it, and planned to report the relevant situation to the committee, and let them worry about it. So, he no longer pondered about this Wu Ren, but said to Shao Xin: "Shao Xin, you hear clearly. First of all, since the name of Feilongzhai was changed, it is no longer a robber who occupies the mountain as the king, but a benevolent and righteous teacher who protects the people on the mountain and under the mountain to live and work in peace and contentment. Secondly, the reason why we want to occupy the land of Liangshuiquan Village is because we want to build a large village here, so that the brothers on the mountain can live more comfortably. Thirdly, what Wu Ren said about the Dragon King's treasures was all made up, so that you would be desperate to use him as a gunman.

As for the reason why he did this, I am afraid that he had something to do with Feilongzhai before, so he took advantage of this relocation to take the opportunity to make trouble and cause trouble for some brothers. Nian Zai you listened to other people's rumors this time, and you did something wrong without knowing the truth, not with the intention of being an enemy of Feilong Village. Moreover, you are the pillar of life in the family, and the wife and children in the family still need you to support. Therefore, I will let you go this time, and I will no longer hold you accountable for the crime of not keeping your promise and sabotaging the relocation work. I hope you can accept the lesson, and in the future, you will have a few more eyes in everything, and don't believe what others say. Otherwise, I can spare you once, but I can't spare you a second time.

In addition, if you find any news about that Wu Ren in the future, you must immediately report it to someone who knows, do you remember? ”

Hearing that the mountain king in front of him no longer held himself responsible, Shao Xin and his wife kowtowed again and again, thanking them a thousand times. And said that he immediately packed his luggage and moved down the mountain immediately.

Zeng Zhilin didn't have time to be polite to the husband and wife, he waved his hand to let them all get up, and then strode out of the small courtyard, ready to meet Liu Wanbao, who went to another "nail household" to solve the problem, and asked if the situation of that household was the same as Shao Xin.

Before Zeng Zhilin could walk out of the courtyard, he saw that Liu Wanbao had already come to look for him with a few minions. Zeng Zhilin stepped forward and asked, "Liu Dangjia, how is the situation over there?" ”

Liu Wanbao waved his hand and said: "The Liu brothers in that household are a pair of scoundrels, when we came to investigate, the two of them complained constantly, expressed dissatisfaction with the compensation we gave, and always said that the money given was to send food. It's just that I don't dare to make any excessive moves in front of our shili. Moreover, although we have never really agreed to relocate, after several door-to-door consultations, our attitude has been relaxed. Unexpectedly, at this time, the villagers in the village were actively cooperating with the relocation, but the attitudes of the two of them recurred, and they began to openly refuse to relocate.

I went to their house just now and negotiated with them again. At first, the two men were very resolute and insisted that they would never leave the village without paying each of them 200 yuan for relocation. Later, under the 'patient persuasion' of a certain person, the truth was finally revealed. It turned out that these two splashes were instigated by a kid named Wu Ren, thinking that we were letting the villagers relocate in order to dig up the treasures hidden in the village, so they opened their mouths and asked for a price.

At this moment, seeing that the whole village had basically moved out, and Wu Ren, who had encouraged them, and his good friend Xiao Widow were gone, they realized that they had been tricked. Now the brothers and sons are not clamoring for more money, and are packing up their things and preparing to move immediately. ”

Liu Wanbao's introduction verified Shao Xin's statement, and Zeng Zhilin also gave a brief explanation of the situation on his side to Liu Wanbao. He also said that according to Shao Xin and the Liu brothers, this Wu Ren should have lobbied many people in the village. Although only Shao Xin and the Liu brothers resisted in the end, it did not mean that the other villagers did not believe Wu Ren's words. It's just that the vast majority of villagers don't dare to offend us openly. Therefore, we also need to refute the rumors of those villagers who have moved away, so that they can understand the real reason why we occupy the village.

In addition, Zeng Zhilin also suggested that Feilongzhai send a few people to investigate the original villagers, and strive to find out the true identity of Wu Ren and the real intention of sabotaging the relocation. At the same time, the matter should be reported to several chief leaders, so that they can investigate Wu Ren through the government and be vigilant in case he has other bad intentions. Liu Wanbao has a clear understanding of his status in the cottage, so he has no opinion on Zeng Zhilin's suggestion, saying that everything is up to Zeng Zhilin.

Subsequently, Zeng Zhilin and Liu Wanbao handed over the relocation work to a minion squad leader, and they immediately returned to Feilong Village. They informed the rest of the group of the people left behind on the progress of the uprooting of the "nail households", and immediately sent Liu Xiaoliu and Li Fu to the villagers' temporary residences to refute the rumors and launch an investigation into Wu Ren. Immediately afterwards, the left-behind group reported the relocation work to the committee through the radio, and especially emphasized what Wu Ren had done.

After receiving the report from the left-behind team, the committee first praised their performance in the relocation operation and affirmed their decision to immediately send someone to refute the rumors and investigate Wu Ren. At the same time, in order to increase the professionalism of the investigation, the committee decided to send Liang Ziyue to the temporary residence of the villagers to participate in the investigation there. In this regard, the left-behind group naturally warmly welcomed, and Zeng Zhilin raised his hands in approval. In his words, a professional like Liang Ziyue is worth a hundred soldiers.

The investigation of Wu Ren lasted two days, and the results disappointed Liang Ziyue. He found that most of the villagers' understanding of this Wu Ren was only to the extent that he was the widow of Xiao. Where this guy came from, what he used to do, and so on, no one can answer accurately. The Liu brothers, who had the most contact with him, did not know much more than the other villagers, they only remembered hearing Wu Ren say that before he came to Liangshuiquan Village, he had done a small business in Liangxiang County, and later because he offended the head snake, he had to leave the county seat and come to the village to find his old good widow. In addition, the only clue they provided that could be regarded as a little valuable was that this Wu Ren looked a little familiar, and he must have seen it somewhere before, but he really couldn't remember where he saw it.

Although he didn't get enough clues, Liang Ziyue still had a huge harvest from this trip, and he drew a simulated portrait of Wu Ren through the description of the villagers and using his professional jishu. This simulated portrait is very realistic, and the villagers who have seen it say that it is almost the same as that Wu Ren. Of course, there is inevitably an element of praise in the villagers' statements, but there is no problem in recognizing Wu Renlai with this simulated image.

So, Liang Ziyue briefly reported the results of the investigation to Li Junwu and Xu Shaoan, and circulated the portrait in the "Jing Garden" to make sure that no one knew him, so he returned to the "Qing Garden" non-stop and reported to Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin. Although they did not get any substantive clues, Wang and Zhang still affirmed Liang Ziyue's investigation work.

Subsequently, Liang Ziyue took out the simulated portrait of Wu Ren, handed it to Wang and Zhang, and suggested that they publish a list in the name of anti-theft through Huzhi County, and search for this Wu Ren in Liangxiang County. If possible, it would be best to let Hu Zhixian Xingwen stay in the mansion and arrest him within the jurisdiction of the entire secluded capital Nanjing Mansion. In this way, even if you can't catch him, you can at least drive him away so that he can no longer pose a danger to the team. Wang and Zhang were deeply convinced of Liang Ziyue's suggestion, and after communicating with Li Junwu and Xu Shaoan, they decided to visit Hu Zhixian early the next morning to put this suggestion into practice.

Before going to see Hu Zhixian, Wang Kunjun asked Liang Ziyue to draw a few more pictures to facilitate the yamen to post them everywhere. On the other hand, he asked Wang Feng to follow what Liang Ziyue did in the "Jingyuan", and took the portrait to ask everyone in the "Qing Garden" one by one to see if any of his people knew this Wu Ren, hoping to provide some clues for confirming his identity.

Wang Feng took the simulated statue and wandered around the "Qing Garden", and when he saw people, he asked if he knew the person in the portrait. As a result, all the traversers said that they had not seen it, and the guards, housekeepers, servants, maidservants, etc., in the palace also said that they did not know each other. Just when Wang Feng thought there was no hope and was about to give up, he ran into Yang Yongzhong, father and son, and Qingchen, who had just returned from outside.

Holding a glimmer of hope, Wang Feng stopped them, handed over the simulated image in his hand, and asked, "Don't hurry back to the room first, let's see if you recognize the person in this portrait." ”

Yang Yongzhong took the simulated image, carefully identified it, shook his head, and said, "I haven't seen it." Who is this person, Xiaofeng, are you looking for him? ”

Wang Feng took the simulated portrait and handed it to Qingchen, and was about to explain Wu Ren's matter to Yang Yongzhong, when he heard Qingchen who took the portrait, "Huh! He said, "Uncle Shi, who is this person, why do I look so familiar?" ”

This sentence suddenly made Wang Feng feel energetic, he briefly explained the matter about Wu Ren, and then asked, "Do you know him?" ”

Qingchen looked at the simulated portrait and said with some doubts: "Judging from this portrait, it should be the person I know." But firstly, the name is wrong, and secondly, he should be dead, how could he go to Liangshuiquan Village to stir up trouble again? ”

Qingchen's two sentences confused Wang Feng, and he asked puzzledly, "What is the name of the person you know?" When did he die? Are you sure he's the same person as the one in this portrait? ”

Qingchen was asked by Wang Feng like this, and he was a little unsure, after all, this is a simulation and not a photo, and it is impossible to be exactly the same as a real person. However, after carefully looking at it for a while, Qingchen still felt that his judgment should be correct, and he said to Wang Feng: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, listen to the little nephew carefully." It was still when we carried out the 'Wanjun Operation' in Layue last year, and Gou Siyuan, an apprentice of Ding Youchang, who was beheaded by Liu Dangjia, took advantage of the chaos to escape and tried to go to the 'Five Tiger Village' to report the news. The little nephew was ordered to intercept him and shoot him down not far from Liangshuiquan Village. That Gou Siyuan looks almost the same as Wu Ren painted in this portrait. It's just that the little nephew had already killed him, could this be his twin brother? ”

"Gou Siyuan?" Wang Feng was very unfamiliar with this name, and he did not directly participate in the "Wanjun Operation" at the beginning, so he did not have any impression of Ding Youchang's apprentice. Not only him, but in the entire "Qingyuan", in fact, only Qingchen has seen Gou Siyuan, and the other several traversers who are directly involved in taking over the "Five Tiger Village" have never dealt with or met Gou Siyuan. Not only them, but even most of the minions in the "Flying Dragon Village" had no impression of this Gou Siyuan - most of the minions who knew him were killed during the "Wanjun Operation" - so although some of the minions participated in the villagers' investigation, no one could recognize the simulated image as similar to Gou Siyuan. In fact, if it weren't for Liang Ziyue's simulated portrait being too similar, I was afraid that Qingchen wouldn't dare to think about Gou Siyuan.

However, now that Qingchen has proposed this possibility, Wang Feng must pay attention to it. He said goodbye to the Yang father and son, and pulled Qingchen to find Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin, and asked these two to deal with this somewhat unbelievable matter.

In the small conference room, Qingchen reported his judgment to Wang and Zhang, and emphasized that Gou Siyuan just looked very similar to the person on this portrait, whether it was Gou Siyuan or not, he didn't dare to pack a ticket, after all, there are many people in this world who look alike.

After listening to Qingchen's report, Wang Kunjun thought for a moment and asked, "Qingchen, are you sure you really killed that Gou Siyuan?" ”

Qingchen replied: "This little nephew can confirm this." At that time, the little nephew stabbed him with a sword and kicked him again, and watched him fly away and lie on the snow without moving. ”

"Did you personally go to the corpse to confirm that Gou Siyuan was dead after he fell to the ground?" Zhang Weixin asked.

"This ......," Qingchen said after a moment's hesitation, "This is not the case." After kicking down Gou Siyuan, the little nephew fought with the other minions again, and did not have time to check Gou Siyuan's body. Later, the team arrived, and the little nephew followed the team up the mountain, and there was no time to examine the corpse. ”

Zhang Weixin nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's where the problem lies." ”

Wang Kunjun also had the same idea as Zhang Weixin, he said: "That's right, it's really possible that the guy surnamed Gou died a lot, and he didn't die after being stabbed and kicked by Qingchen." Later, I happened to be rescued by the widow Xiao and sent home. Moreover, this can also explain that he weishenme wants to oppose us. Killing the enemy of the teacher can be regarded as a common thing. ”

Qingchen also felt justified when he heard this, slapped his thigh hatefully, and said: "Hey, what a strange little nephew who only cared about going up the mountain with the team at that time, and didn't carefully check whether this guy was dead or not." It is also the little nephew who believes in his martial arts too much, and he is too big, thinking that under that sword and kick, the opponent will never survive, but the result is still a disaster. ”

Seeing Qingchen's constant self-blame, Wang Kunjun waved his hand and said, "Qingchen, you don't have to blame yourself too much, after all, the situation was complicated at that time, and it was reasonable that you didn't check carefully." Besides, this Wu Ren, well, let's call him Gou Siyuan, although this Gou Siyuan has bad intentions, he has not caused us any substantial losses after all. Tomorrow, through Hu Zhi County, we will designate him as a Jiangyang thief, and we will want him in Quanliang Township and even in the whole Youzhou Prefecture, so that he can taste the taste of being a rat crossing the street, and it can be regarded as revenge for his disrupted relocation. ”

"That's right," Zhang Weixin said, "forgive him, even if he is not caught, he will hide far away, and he will not pose any threat to us anymore." ”

The relief of the two senior uncles made Qingchen's guilt in his heart decrease slightly, he nodded, and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the two senior uncles, it's just that although the two senior uncles don't blame the little nephew, the little nephew can't just let this matter go." In the future, when the little nephew goes out to run errands, he will definitely pay attention to it everywhere, as long as he sees this Gou Siyuan, he will definitely not let him escape from the palm of the little nephew. ”

Qingchen's attitude is very resolute, and Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin are not good at dissuading him too much, after all, as a chivalrous man who thinks he is strong in martial arts, it is always a disgraceful thing to let the opponent use pretending to be dead to escape, and it is understandable for him to wash away his shame.

It's just that the development of things made Qingchen very disappointed, no matter how he inquired, he never found the whereabouts of the other party, this Gou Siyuan seemed to have evaporated from the world, and disappeared into the vast sea of people.
