The sound of soldiers gradually stopped

The officials of the government are all well-trained people, and the number of redundant mountain bandits is doubled, and they are ready to deal with a group of rabble.

Mei Xiaoren looked back, and the mountain bandits were either injured and fell down one after another, or they were captured on their knees, and the last people standing were all people from the government.

As the sun set, the forest fell silent, and the officials began to clean up the mess and count the dead and wounded bandits.

The mountain wind blew urgently, Ye Zhi put on a cloak for Mei Xiaoren and went down the mountain with Mei Xiaoren and Jiang Rong.

Ye Zhi had just learned about Mei Xiaoren's request to Jiang Rong, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the adults have already planned, and I thought that the adults really only need five hundred people. ”

Mei Xiaoren sighed heavily. This was a discussion between her and Jiang Ei, she didn't tell anyone, even Ye Zhi hid it, and as a result, he was worried all the way.

It's not that she can't believe Ye Zhi, but the fewer people who know about it, the better, only when even her people show worry, the eyeliner in the team will believe that she is taking risks, rather than preparing for other things.

"Lao Ye, I didn't mean to hide this from you"

Ye Zhi still said with a smile: "I understand that behind this bandit should be someone who is targeting adults and deliberately luring adults into the game, so no matter what the adults think, it is right." ”

Jiang Rong squinted at Ye Zhi and said lightly: "I really know how to pat on the back, so do you know who wants to hurt her?"

Mei Xiaoren glanced at Jiang Rong, "Can you speak well." ”

"Villain, I'm very worried about your situation now, do you say that you will sue him or not this time" Jiang Rong was at a loss, "Don't sue, you can't swallow this breath, and my son can't swallow it, sue it, we don't have any evidence in our hands." ”

"Yes, we don't have evidence, as long as there is no evidence, it is a guess in the eyes of others, even if it is a guess."

Ye Zhi was puzzled: "My lord, Gao Tongzhi was born in a scholar clan, how could he collude with the mountain bandits"

"This," Mei Xiaoren hesitated for a moment before answering, "I haven't thought of it yet." ”

It's not that she can't really guess, but she can't easily spit out Xiao Lin, the middleman, otherwise it will be difficult for her to explain why she knows the eldest son of the Xiao family.

Whether it is the mountain bandits in Xuanzhou Mansion or the forces in the rivers and lakes, they all have some contacts with Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin relied on these fox friends to monopolize the silk business in Xuanzhou, and the evil tiger village only robbed the caravan transporting silk, is it a coincidence, or is there also collusion between them

In fact, as early as when Lin Zhuhai mentioned the silk business, she thought of Xiao Lin.

It is no coincidence that Xiao Lin has dealt with these people for as many years as he has been on his own, and Gao Jingshu has suppressed bandits for many years.

She guessed that those minutes of suppressing bandits were not Gao Jingshu's merits, but a play that Xiao Lin asked the Evil Tiger Village to help him play in order to please him, and finally became Gao Jingshu's political achievements.

Now that she has just escaped from Hegong's side, the evil tiger village inexplicably found Liu's mansion, thinking that it was neither revenge nor to provoke Lao Li, but to provoke her, it was Xiao Lin who wanted to use the evil tiger village to help his brother-in-law get rid of dissidents.

As for Gao Jingshu, he only played one drama in this game that made her underestimate the enemy. He made her believe that these bandits were enough to bring a few hundred people without being beaten, in order to send her into the mouth of the tiger and let her go without returning.

She saw through it, but she came happily, not because she was not afraid, but since Xiao Lin sent the evil tiger village to the door, then she smiled and accepted it, taking this opportunity, not only to damage Xiao Lin's power, but also to change the peace of the Eastern Trade Road.

The evil tiger village that has been invading Xuandong for several years has evaporated, and the overall situation can be called a complete victory, but the one-eyed master of the evil tiger village has taken advantage of the chaos to escape, and the other mountain bandits know nothing about what is going on behind the scenes.

If you want to dig out what is behind in front of Lao Li, you have to come up with evidence

Yes.

Late at night, in the jungle.

"Boss, we're going to lose a lot this time" The mountain bandit sat by the fire and hung his head in despair, "The brothers are dead, the captured are caught, and the stockade is gone."

"Hmph, he destroyed Lao Tzu's cottage this time, and killed Lao Tzu's people, Lao Tzu will definitely peel him for cramps in the future, and avenge the brothers" The one-eyed bandit clenched his fists, and the wound on his arm was still bleeding out, and the blood dripped straight into the fire, startling a little spark.

"We're all like this, how can we take revenge, I think tomorrow the notice to arrest us will have to be posted all over the city." The minion held the branch in his hand and said while fiddling with the fire, "We can't go to Xuanzhou Mansion, and Xiao Ye can't rely on it, what can we do in the future." ”

"What's the panic, I don't keep my master here, I have my own place to stay here" The one-eyed mountain bandit thought for a while, "I heard that there is a Flowing Fire Gang on the rivers and lakes, and we are recruiting heroes like us who have no way out, and we will go and take a look, as long as the gang leader is willing to help me take revenge, I will serve him in the future." ”

"The Drifting Fire Gang is not a group of people who have fallen into the grass, but they have more money and more people than us."

"Nonsense," the one-eyed mountain bandit scolded, "The leader of the Flowing Fire Gang has some backgrounds, this gang has made a name for itself in this part of Jiangnan not long after its establishment, annexing gangs everywhere and growing its power, if we take refuge in him, what government will we be afraid of from now on?"

Two days later, the news of the victory of the government government in suppressing bandits spread throughout the state capital, and the people were praising the government for doing a practical thing, but in the painting boat on the river, there were two people who were drinking to dispel their sorrows.

"Brother-in-law, this incident was an accident, I didn't expect that the surnamed Mei would just be unplanned, and he really destroyed the evil tiger village." Xiao Lin picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine alone, and said, "Now that the qi has not come out, my three heads and six arms are missing one, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"It's come to this point, it's useless to talk more, what I'm worried about is this" Gao Jingshu also held the wine glass in his hand, he turned his eyes to look at Xiao Lin, and he didn't finish the second half of the sentence for a long time.

Xiao Lin could see what he wanted to say from Gao Jingshu's eyes, put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I sent someone to investigate, they didn't catch the one-eyed, in fact, even if they caught it, it doesn't matter, you have worked hard for our Xuanzhou for all these years, there is no merit and hard work, how can the prefect listen to the testimony of a group of mountain bandits." ”

Gao Jingshu glanced at Xiao Lin indifferently, "You should polish your eyes when dealing with people in the future, don't hand over some things that are not enough to succeed and more than to fail."

"This is as it should be, after all, I can't take good fortune every time and make friends with a noble person like my brother-in-law."

Xiao Lin poured himself another glass of wine, stood up with the wine glass, walked into the pile of dancing beauties, and casually hugged the dancing girl who led the dance and smiled at Gao Jingshu: "Brother-in-law, let's not think about anything now, just have fun, I promise, Mei Xiaoren has no way to take us."

Gao Jingshu drank as if he hadn't heard it, and a woman took the initiative to post it, but he was not only unmoved, but also drove him away.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing here, I won't tell Aru, besides, it's normal for men to spend all day drinking, what can Aru say"

"It has nothing to do with her." Gao Jingshu's tone was a little bland.

"I know, you're still worried," Xiao Lin said to his lips, and seeing that Gao Jingshu's gaze was a little cold, he didn't dare to go any further, and said another, "But I heard that the prefect intends to recruit Mei Xiaoren as his son-in-law." ”

"So you have to hurry, if his marriage is completed, it will not be good for you or me."

"Don't worry, he won't be so lucky every time" Xiao Lin smiled very easily, and with a pull, the clothes of the dancing girl in his arms fell off, revealing her snow-white shoulders and back.

Xiao Lin put his arms around the waist of the dancing girl, leaned down and gently gnawed on the creamy skin, but caught a glimpse of a flaming tattoo on the woman's back.

He immediately let go of the woman, and then dragged her arm to force her to face him, and asked, "Qingying, you are a member of the Flowing Fire Gang."
