Fan Yilin's face sank, and he glared at Xu Zhiyan angrily: "What do you mean by this?!" You are also the nephew of Old Xu, and now you want to cover up the prisoner regardless of etiquette? ”

"If you dare to be obsessed, believe it or not, I will send someone to arrest you and punish you with the thief!"

The threat implication is already very obvious, and this is intended to be forced.

This is naturally also because it has reached the point of rushing to the doctor, and the whereabouts of the ledger must be found as soon as possible.

But although his attitude was tough, it had no effect on Du Bai.

Du Bai first said with a smile: "Master Fan, I would like to ask, why do you dare to assert that our Su family is indeed a prisoner?" What kind of virtue can my Su family have, how can I steal those treasures from your heavily guarded Fan Mansion and still get out safely? ”

"As for that monk, Fang Cai has indeed met once, but it is just a few simple conversations, our Su family has never known him before, so how can we collude with him?"

Fan Yilin couldn't help but stagnate.

This is indeed what he can't figure out the most.

So much so that he couldn't find any suitable excuse to prevaricate for a while.

At this time, Xu Zhiyan also took the opportunity to add, and said sternly: "Fan Gongzi, I hope you can think carefully before making a decision." ”

"The Su family and my Xu family are close friends, and they also have a very good relationship with my uncle, and they have entrusted me to befriend the Su family several times. Now that you are identifying innocent people without any evidence of guilt, and you dare to forcibly arrest them, you are simply insulting my Xu family! ”

"If you really dare to forcibly break in today and really search for the so-called stolen things, then I will definitely be willing to be punished with the Su family, and I will never complain! But if no evidence is found......" Xu Zhiyan snorted coldly and flicked his long sleeves, "I will go to visit some elders in the name of my uncle and ask them to come forward and seek justice for us!" ”

The extent of these remarks is equivalent to tearing the skin and putting the positions of the two sides in a state of incompatibility.

And as a person in the officialdom, Fan Yilin is also very aware of the huge deterrent effect of the words in the other party's mouth.

This is different from the petty officials who were disturbed and ganged up to sue this morning, which is the real power that Father Fan also has to pay attention to.

Even if many of those elders are old people who have returned to their hometowns, it is such people, even if they do not mention their own residual influence, and their children or protégés who serve as officials in the imperial court, are not ordinary people.

Under the inextricable relationship, if you really want to fight, I'm afraid the Fan family will have to back down three points.

This is also the main reason why Fan Yilin knew that the other party was protecting the Su family before, but he still didn't dare to turn his face with him.

Even at this critical juncture, when he heard these words, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and calm down the anger in his heart.

We must not do this at this time, otherwise I am afraid that things will only go worse.

Looking at the indifferent and confident appearance of Du Bai and Xu Zhiyan in front of him, he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart, and began to secretly doubt his original inference.

After all, the original inferences were just speculations, and the evidence was not very sufficient, and he himself was not completely sure whether the monk was the thief who stole the ledger, although the time of the other party's departure was indeed very coincidental.

And even if the monk is a thief, he can't guarantee what that guy has to do with the Su family, and whether those account books have been handed over to the Su family.

In case I really can't find something from the Su family, I'm afraid it will really only add unnecessary trouble to myself!

He narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and for a moment could not make up his mind whether to take the risk.

Du Bai guessed the change in his heart when he saw his expression, and took the initiative to invite with a bit of fun: "Master Fan, I don't know if you have decided to enter our Su family?" If you want to come, you should immediately instruct the people to prepare tea and snacks, so that the adults will not come so hard and return empty-handed, which is too tiring......"

This sentence seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back, Fan Yilin glanced at him coldly, and said: "Since Xu Gongzi is like this, then this official will give a face and don't go in to search!" ”

"But don't think that this is the end of it, this official will send troops to garrison nearby, and if there is any suspicious sign, there will be no mercy at that time!"

The implication is that we are going to fight a protracted war.

Du Bai was already mentally prepared for this, so he was not too surprised.

Although Fan Yilin gave up his plan to enter the Su family to search for the time being, he had not forgotten the suspicious monk Fahai, and even after asking the monk's whereabouts, he led the troops to chase after him personally.

A few officers and soldiers were left in front of the Su family's door to be guarded, and they were also used for surveillance.

Seeing that the crisis had passed, Du Bai still smiled easily, but Xu Zhiyan looked at the direction Fan Yilin left with some concern, and asked him in a low voice: "Brother Du, wouldn't it be a little inappropriate for us to directly inform Fan Yilin of the monk's whereabouts?" ”

Even if that monk wasn't necessarily a thief, he couldn't help but be a little worried that Fan Yilin would sprinkle all the anger he had been holding back on them just now on the other party.

Then this monk has suffered a calamity.

But in comparison, Du Bai was not worried at all.

He patted Xu Zhiyan lightly on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, the monk's ability is great, if it is really so simple to be dealt with by Fan Yilin, then it is not the legendary Fahai." ”

In contrast, he needs to think more about his own side of the problem.

That is, how to dispose of those ledgers is more appropriate.

Originally, he was thinking about borrowing Xu Zhiyan's hand to send it out, but it doesn't seem to be suitable for now.

And after a few people returned home, Xu Zhiyan also hesitated, and quietly asked about the Fan family in private.

"Brother Du, I wonder if the theft of the Fan family has anything to do with you?"

Du Bai glanced back at him in some surprise, and asked with a smile, "Why do you think it's really related to me?" ”

After all, when he was outside before, he also took the initiative to testify to the Su family, and he should not have shown any flaws before.

Xu Zhiyan sighed lightly: "After all, I know about Brother Du's extraordinary methods, which are by no means as simple as Fan Yilin and other mortals can think, and some unreasonable places may not be impossible." ”

He had indeed thought of such a possibility. The previous sworn guarantee outside was also really firm in treating himself as a person on the Su family's side, taking a huge risk.
