Gu Yunzhi directly blocked in front of Shen Yan, and said urgently: "It is impossible for him to collude with the bandits, you must be mistaken!" ”

Fang Xingqiang directly pulled out his knife, his expression cold, "Shen Yan, I am also acting on orders, don't make it difficult for me." ”

As soon as he saw the knife moved, the lid of the pot next to him, which had been eyeing him all the time, immediately screamed wildly, and threw himself directly at them.

It was already very tall, and such a move directly scared Fang Xingqiang and the others backwards, and before they could take a breath, a line of secret guards suddenly appeared in the shadows, and they also slashed at them.

Fang Xingqiang and the others were suddenly frightened, and their originally arrogant and domineering attitude immediately became three points shorter, and they couldn't help but start stumbling when they spoke.

"You, what do you want to do? I, I tell you, we were ordered by adults to take people, you, you dare to do it, then, that is to get along with our adults! ”

Gu Yunzhi wanted to curse, but was stopped by Shen Yan, and the pot lid was also called back by him, but it was lying on the ground, staring at Fang Xingqiang and the others with swarthy eyes, with a posture of being ready to attack at any time.

Shen Yan stepped forward and said in a slow tone, "I don't want you to be difficult either, I will take the initiative to follow you, but I hope you can tell me carefully what happened." ”

Shen Yan knew that he had no choice, and he had to go back to the county government with them.

He can resist, he can run away, as long as he hides in the mountains, so that no one can find him.

But he can run, his home can't run, and Sangsang can't run.

That's the best way to go.

So he had to figure out what was going on so that he could find a way to save himself.

Fang Xingqiang glanced at the secret guards who were pulling out the Xueliang big knife and staring at them, and suddenly became much easier to speak.

"This time, the head of the arrest led the team to suppress the bandits, killed a lot of bandits, and captured a few alive, they all recruited you, they said, you are their accomplice, before you were not on an errand in the yamen, you were in the cottage with them to rob the house.

He also said that you had several lives on your hands, and the reason why you left the cottage later was because one mountain could not tolerate two tigers, and you threatened the status of the big boss, so you were excluded and left.

They didn't expect that you would become the official of the county government, and you led people to kill in the cottage and killed many brothers. ”

Gu Yunzhi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and it was Shen Yan, the person concerned, who also showed a shocked expression.

Not to mention, this statement is indeed consistent and completely reasonable.

After all, Shen Yan used to be a hunter, and he went to the mountains to hunt all day long, often away from home, and his whereabouts were uncertain, so it would not be far-fetched to say that he took the opportunity to rob the brothers.

And he lives alone all the year round, living alone, and he doesn't even have anyone close to him, so he can't find someone who wants to prove his innocence.

But no matter how similar these statements sounded, as a person concerned, Shen Yan knew better than anyone that it was all nonsense, and this basin of dirty water was deliberately poured on him by those mountain bandits.

Shen Yan fought with that group of people twice, and it was reasonable for the other party to hate him.

But how do they know their names? How can you understand your situation?

If they don't even know their names, their slander will be meaningless.

If they don't understand their situation, how can they come up with such a plausible slander?

A lot of confusion and doubts rose in Shen Yan's heart.

This confusion, coupled with his previous suspicion that the bandit was too smooth, all came to mind.

A thought vaguely came to him in his heart, but it flashed so quickly that he couldn't catch it in time, and his brows suddenly furrowed tightly.

There must be something strange about this.

Not only was he slandered, but there must also be a mystery in the matter of suppressing bandits.

He asked, "Are you involved in the banditry?" ”

Fang Xingqiang shook his head.

Shen Yan asked a few more people in his companionship, and they all shook their heads and said that they were not involved, and disappointment rose in Shen Yan's heart, but he quickly asked about others.

"How much do you know about the bandits?"

In other words, they definitely don't want to deal with it, but who will let the other party have a knife now?

In desperation, they could only open their mouths and answer Shen Yan's questions truthfully.

The information they told was fragmentary, and Shen Yan extracted a key point from it.

"Are you saying that this time you killed more than 70 bandits and captured three or four alive?"

A few people nodded, "We don't know how many people there are, anyway, it's just like that." ”

Gu Yunzhi asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”

Shen Yan said in a deep voice, "The number of people is wrong. I made a rough estimate that night, and the number of the bandits was about 200, and if they really killed only about 70 people, at most half of them would be eliminated, and the remaining half would easily come back. ”

Fang Xingqiang immediately said: "But those few people who said that the people in their village were all in their early 100s, and they lost more than a dozen people in the previous time, and more than 70 people lost this time, and there were only a dozen people who escaped at most." There are only a dozen people, and it can't be a climate at all. ”

Gu Yunzhi rolled his eyes directly, "Can what they say count?" Is it you, will you honestly shake out all your details? ”

If you really tell the other party that they still have seventy or eighty brothers who have escaped, won't the government continue to organize people to suppress the bandits, and they don't have to cut off their own way out?

Fang Xingqiang's face was pale and pale by Gu Yunzhi, he was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to refute, and the whole person looked very aggrieved.

He looked at Shen Yan with a consultative expression.

"That, Shen Yan, I'll answer you honestly to the questions you asked, it's not too early now, we really should go back, otherwise, we won't be able to explain to the adults......"

Shen Yan knew that he couldn't avoid this catastrophe, he had already asked everything he should have asked, and there was no need to continue to delay it now.

He nodded, "I'll go with you." ”

When Gu Yunzhi heard this, his face suddenly became anxious.

"Senior brother!"

Shen Yan looked at him with a heavy gaze, "I have to leave this time, because I haven't done these things, so I have to clarify my guilt, if I refuse to cooperate now, and instead become a fugitive, even you will be implicated by me." ”

Of course, Gu Yunzhi also knew this truth, but knowing that it was one thing, he still couldn't help but worry.

"That sister-in-law's ......"

Thinking of Sangsang, Shen Yan's heart swelled with a deep worry.

But this matter can't be hidden at all, instead of waiting for Sang Sang to hear about it from elsewhere and think about it himself, it is better to let Gu Yunzhi take the initiative to tell her about it.

Shen Yan said seriously: "You will go and tell her about this later, you go in person, explain the ins and outs of the matter, and tell her, don't worry, I will definitely come back safe and sound." ”

That's it, and that's all it can be.

Seeing Shen Yan being taken away by them, Gu Yunzhi immediately did not delay for a moment, and let the dark guard push him to the shop.
