Bai Yilan returned to Shangjiang Village and walked on the road to Zhou Ying'er's house, and the villagers who came and went along the way all drooped their heads and hung their heads. After all, most of the middle-aged men in the village were forced to enlist in the army. Among the women, Zhou Ying'er is also the most likable, and many old people who have no children or children outside their knees love her as if she were their own daughter, and now she is caught in a bandit's den, and her life and death are uncertain............

And Bai Yilan didn't have time to pay attention to them, he had already found some clues. He quickly came back to find Zhou Da, the village chief discussed, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw that Zhou Da was crowded with people in front of the door, all with solemn expressions and lifeless. Bai Yilan sighed and said, "I think I'm also worried about Uncle Zhou's ...... health."

Bai Yilan squeezed layer by layer for a long time before squeezing into the door, the village chief and the others were all in the house, gathered in front of Zhou Da's bed, Zhou Da was still unconscious, and he was the only Lang Zhong in the village. The crowd couldn't think of any way, so they sat and sat in a hurry. Seeing Bai Yilan breaking in, he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Guys, I'm pressed for time, and I'd like to ask some questions. Bai Yilan got straight to the point with a commanding tone. Zhou Ying'er is in the hands of bandits, and one more second is more dangerous. Even Bai Yilan, who has been meditating for ten years, can't be as calm as usual. But there are always people who contradict it at such moments.

Sister-in-law Liu jumped up suddenly, "Mourning Xing, you still don't think we're hurting us badly enough!" She also looked like a resentful woman, and the more she talked, the more energetic she became: "What kind of thing are you! We are here to discuss the way, what kind of trouble are you coming to make trouble!" Sister-in-law Liu still wanted to continue scolding, but fortunately she was stopped by the person next to her and pulled her to sit down, but she still stared at Bai Yilan with anger.

Bai Yilan didn't plan to talk to them more, but after all, he was not familiar with life here, and many things needed to be understood clearly, but he didn't have time to pray for everyone's cooperation, and a nameless karmic fire burned in his chest under the conflict between the two forces, so he no longer cared about everyone's face. A stream of true qi traveled from the lower dantian and the twelve meridians converged in his palm, and Bai Yilan only slashed at the wooden table at hand with this palm, only to hear a loud cracking sound in the splashed dust.

The dust gradually fell, and a voice came faintly, although the voice still seemed immature, but this time it sounded a little cooler: "I repeat, I'll ask, you just answer." ”

After everyone cleaned up the dust inhaled in their eyes, mouths and noses, they reacted, and the pear solid wood square table in front of them had all four legs broken and split into two. And there is not a single crack on each piece of crushing. This trick: fast, accurate, ruthless. It is best to deter ordinary people, Bai Yilan certainly has some consideration, when Sister-in-law Liu made a big speech, he had already scanned the entire house and found the hardest of all the furniture. The difficulties experienced in making them due to their hardness were well known to those present. Bai Yilan wanted them to know that the difficulties solved by gathering the strength of the whole village for half a month could not stop Bai Yilan's palm......

Bai Yilan has regarded Zhou Ying'er as a life-saving benefactor, and secretly vowed to repay this kindness, and he doesn't want that innocent smile to disappear like his memories of the previous seventeen years. Now that three days have passed, Bai Yilan does not allow anyone to waste time unnecessarily. Although the way is rude and contrary to the heart, it can always achieve the effect, and when they see the "end" under the table, everyone quiets down and does not dare to make any resistance. Bai Yilan raised her eyebrows and squinted, her gaze fell on Sister-in-law Liu, "Did you hear that?"

Sister-in-law Liu didn't dare to come out, and in the face of Bai Yilan's question, she wanted to open her mouth, but the words that just came to her mouth were choked up, and she couldn't say anything for a while. But Bai Yilan's gaze never moved away. Suddenly, a red line flashed in his clear eyes, like a burst of knife light attacking him. In her panic, Sister-in-law Liu's eyes turned red, so she had to practice nodding.

After the vignette, everything returned to harmony, Bai Yilan also calmed down, sorted out his thoughts when he came to reason, and asked:

"Do you know the location of Shangjiang Water Village?"

When everyone heard the words "Shangjiang Water Village", the people who had succumbed to obscenity and passively accepted it seemed to come back to life all of a sudden, looking forward to this young man saving them again, and the young man who had been following the village chief was even brighter, "Shaoxia, are you going to save Ying'er." "He was the youngest to look on the field, and he had a slight resemblance to the village chief. He and Zhou Yinger's childhood sweethearts grew up together, and even had feelings for each other. To say that in the field, except for Zhou Da, he is the one who wants to save Ying'er the most.

But Bai Yilan was still expressionless, and the words were cold: "You only need to answer my question." As soon as this came out, their originally peaceful hearts tightened again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the village chief hurriedly took over: "The dog is ignorant, let me answer, it's like this, we also heard from the outside world in Shangjiang Water Village, these bandits are very cunning, and the officers and soldiers have searched all over the radius for dozens of miles, but they haven't found anything." ”

"What about the other side of the river?"

"On the other side, how is it possible, they are all on horseback, if they are on the other side, how can they get through these few feet of water on horseback? When the young man heard this, he could not resist snatching his father's words. The village chief glanced at his son for a while, for fear of offending Bai Yilan and causing his son to be hurt.

Everything was on the right track, Bai Yilan pursed her lips slightly, and a smile returned to her face, "It's okay, as long as you know something, just say it!"

Everyone watched Bai Yilan return to the heroic posture of a few days ago, and they all unconsciously relaxed, and the atmosphere gradually improved, Bai Yilan continued to ask: "But I saw a post station not far from the north of the village, which can tie dozens of horses at a time?"

The village chief hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, you're talking about the post station in Shilipo, which is an official post, and it is also the largest official post near the capital that has only recently been expanded." ”

"Guanyi?" Bai Yilan recalled that the thieves he was following walked in with a swagger, and the shopkeeper personally received him, the more Bai Yilan thought about it, the more strange he felt, and his movements slowly slowed down, and he always felt that things were not so simple, "How long have these bandits been entrenched here?"

"Alas, since Kong County Ling took office five years ago, there has been news of robberies from time to time, but what I heard before was that the big families in the county were robbed, and it was only in the past two years that they focused on the rations of the eight villages. ”

"Isn't this place supposed to be under the jurisdiction of the capital?"

The village chief's son couldn't help but take a stubble: "Our Shangjiang Village belongs to the junction between the jurisdiction of the capital and Jurong County, but it belongs to the management of Jurong County. ”

Bai Yilan seemed to see the sun, "In other words, even with the Shilipo official post, it is all in charge of the Jurong County Order?"

"That's right. ”

Bai Yilan stopped suddenly, and a terrible inference slowly crept into his mind: "After my previous tracking and discovery, it has been confirmed that Shangjiang Water Village is located in a dense forest on the east bank of the river, but every robber robbery occurs on the west bank of the river, and there is no bridge on the west bank of this river, and the way to cross the river is by boat, and the bandits move dozens of horses, it is impossible to cross the river by boat, now think about it, it is nothing more than two situations: First, the water village on the east bank is just a disguise, the so-called three caves of cunning rabbits, and the real gathering place is still on the west bank. However, the west bank has been completely searched, and it is said that there is no trace of it; second, as I have seen, there is an official post to cover the bandits, and the official post is used as a horse farm in the water village, making it impossible to make it possible. And these two possibilities, if you want to go undetected for five whole years, you need to collude with the government. ”

Everyone saw that Bai Yilan's face was getting more and more ugly, and they were all puzzled, "I don't know, is there anything else?"

After recovering from a serious illness and being distracted, Bai Yilan's forehead was covered with sweat, and her body was slightly leaning against the wall, shaking her head to keep herself awake, " I have already found the location of Shangjiang Water Village, it is not difficult for me to sneak into the village alone, but it is impossible to rescue people from the inside, originally I wanted to tell the government the location of Shangjiang Water Village, let them send troops to exterminate it, and then I sneaked in to ensure Ying'er's safety, but now it seems that Jiang Shanglong is bound to collude with the government, so that the plan will be ruined, and now Ying'er's life and death are uncertain, and we will not be given more time to figure out a way......

Everyone was shocked, but it was not Bai Yilan's plan that was surprised.

"The government is colluding with Jiang Shanglong?

"Yes, Kong County Ling is a good official. ”

"Is there a mistake, how could he collude with the bandits.............................."

Bai Yilan was in no mood to listen to these nonsense anymore, leaning against the door, an inexplicable irritability brought by unwillingness was difficult to calm down in his heart, and he looked up at the moonlight that came in through the gap on the beam. He looked hard at the silver in the gap, as if praying for the night where the moon was, the sky where the night was, and silently said, "Oh my God, if only you could give me some more time............

There was a stalemate in the house, and Bai Yilan couldn't do anything in a short time. And all the rest can do is worry. Perhaps it was the mercy of God, just in the second half of the night, the noise outside the door suddenly arose, and several people in the house who were half-asleep woke up, and then one of them pushed the door open, bent over and gasped for breath, this person usually guards the entrance of the village, so as to keep in touch with the outside world from time to time, and his running along the way also shows the importance of what he is about to say.

When he straightened up, without any extra words, he took out a red cloth envelope from his bosom and handed it to the village chief, and went straight to the point: "Just ...... Just now the bandits came again, and he ...... He gave me this, saying that it was an invitation to Uncle Zhou, and on September 25, Jiang Shanglong and Ying'er got married......"

The village chief hurriedly opened the envelope, and with a few words, it caused four big liver fires, pointing at the sky and cursing the dragons on the river. The son of the village chief even drew a firewood knife and rushed out, wanting to die with Jiang Shanglong. And the young man leaning against the door seemed to have swept away the haze, and even the original tension disappeared, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: September 25, there are still six days. It seems that God really cares about it............
