When Yang Lin led his troops into Qingtian Village, there were still sporadic battles inside, and the officers and soldiers were searching for the fish that had slipped through the net, and from time to time there would be bandits who would be found and killed by the officers and soldiers.

For these, Yang Lin just glanced twice, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, just small things, he has his own officers and soldiers to solve them, and Yang Lin doesn't need to care too much, and when there is a result, he will report it to him.

The group walked and stopped, and finally came to the outside of the warehouse of Qingtian Village, which had been tightly guarded, and no one was allowed to enter, not even Song Ke, so they could only wait for Yang Lin's arrival outside the door at this time.

Speaking of which, for Song Ke, Qian Liehua and other new people, Yang Lin didn't trust him at all, and the others were easy to say, but once faced with heavy profits, no one could guarantee whether they would not have other thoughts, in order to avoid trouble, so Yang Lin simply did not let people into the warehouse, so that there would be less trouble.

And for Yang Lin's thoughts, in fact, Song Ke and others more or less guessed a little, this result made Song Ke and others feel a pang in their hearts, let them see clearly that Yang Lin, the new master, actually did not trust them, so far, they are still in the stage of investigation, if the performance fails, it is very likely to be kicked away again, thinking that they may lose the high-ranking officials they have now, Song Ke and others are very panicked, and secretly decided to work harder, and strive to make Yang Lin, the new master, really trust themselves.

So this time when I saw Yang Lin again, Song Ke and other generals were very enthusiastic, and took the initiative to greet them from afar, leading Yang Lin very diligently.

Seeing everyone's performance, although Yang Lin was silent on his face, he was still very satisfied in his heart, you must know that Song Ke and others were more or less arrogant in the face of him before, which made Yang Lin very unhappy, so he suppressed their sharpness without a trace, and now it seems that the effect is still very good, and the attitude of Song Ke and others has changed significantly.

Yang Lin coughed dryly, and then asked, "What's the situation in the guest room, how many belongings are there?" ”

Song Ke replied respectfully: "Returning to Gongzi, the last general and others have always followed your instructions and have not entered the guest room without permission, so the specific situation inside is not very clear, if it is possible, I want to send someone in to count the belongings now, I don't know what Gongzi wants." ”

Yang Lin said with a smile: "You have done a good job, just do what you want, now you can open the door of the warehouse, and my son will go in to see the situation in person." ”

Song Ke nodded and said, "Yes, the last general will go down immediately to make arrangements." ”

With that, Song Ke hurriedly left, and after a while, the iron door of the warehouse was pried open, and then with a bang, it was completely opened.

Yang Lin stood at the door, raised his eyes and glanced inside, and saw that the entire warehouse was full of large and small boxes, in addition, there were many weapons, antiques, silk and other valuable materials, which were always filled with the entire warehouse.

Looking at this situation, there are already a lot of treasures in the treasury, and the specific amount needs to be counted before it can be clarified.

Yang Lin walked in with a smile on his face, walked directly to the nearest box, and then kicked open the lid of the box, revealing a whole box of gold, silver and jewelry inside.

Song Ke, Qian Liehua, Cui Duo and others who were following behind saw this scene, their eyes couldn't help but widen, they subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and their greedy expressions couldn't be concealed, they really wanted to take the jewelry in front of them for themselves.

Yang Lin glanced at everyone without a trace, and secretly sneered in his heart, it was right not to let these people into the guest room before, otherwise, God knows how many jewels will be stolen, after all, whether it is Song Ke and these officers and soldiers, or Cui Duo and these bandits, they all take their lives to win wealth and wealth, and have the opportunity to reap huge benefits, they will not be soft at all, if they are known afterwards, they will not admit it to death, anyway, the law does not blame the public, presumably Yang Lin will not really deal with them ruthlessly for the sake of the overall situation and stabilize the morale of the army.

Not to mention, if things really developed like that, maybe it would really be like this, but it's a pity that Yang Lin took precautions in advance and didn't let these new subordinates have a chance to reap the benefits.

Yang Lin sighed secretly, knowing that it would take a lot of effort to make these eight Wang Lambs really obedient, and now they were far from knowing Yang Lin's ruthless methods, so they would have the intention of embezzling property, once they deeply understood Yang Lin's ruthlessness, they would not dare to have this kind of mind when the time came to lend them a few guts.

Yang Lin remembered these greedy faces, and was ready to focus on educating them when he was free, and he must let these people suffer enough.

At this time, Song Ke, Cui Duo and others did not know that in the near future, there would be a severe test waiting for them, and at this moment these people were still in the greed for jewelry, and they kept fantasizing about being able to take it for themselves.

Yang Lin slowly retracted his gaze and didn't look at the gang again, and then Yang Lin walked out and wandered leisurely in the warehouse.

As he walked, Yang Lin's eyes were suddenly attracted by an ancient painting scroll hanging on the wall, and Yang Lin involuntarily stopped his pace and looked at this ancient painting fixedly.

I saw that this ancient painting was very strange, the scene painted on it turned out to be a seemingly ordinary landscape painting, Yang Lin frowned, he felt that something was wrong, and after looking back and forth for a long time, Yang Lin saw that something was wrong.

Cheng Tianzang, who had been silently following aside, couldn't help but show a puzzled look after seeing Yang Lin's appearance, along Yang Lin's gaze, Cheng Tianzang also looked at the ancient painting on the wall, but he didn't see anything famous, in Cheng Tianzang's eyes, this is really a very ordinary ancient painting.

Although I felt very strange in my heart, I didn't ask Tianzang when I didn't ask, and I had been with Yang Lin for a while, and the experience of these days made Cheng Tianzang understand a truth, that is, in front of Yang Lin, don't be too curious, otherwise if you accidentally know something you shouldn't know, you may lose your life.

Similar incidents have happened several times, and there are a few guards who were sent out by Yang Lin to carry out secret missions, just because of curiosity, they accidentally knew the hidden secrets, and the final outcome was a dead end, which made Cheng Tianzang take it as a warning, and he never dared to be so curious from now on.

Therefore, Cheng Tianzang didn't ask a word, and immediately took his eyes back from the ancient painting, and honestly stood aside, making his sense of existence as low as possible.

It's a pity that there are still some people who don't have the strength to ask, Zhang Bin's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help asking: "Yang Gongzi, is there anything special about this painting, why do you keep staring at it intently." ”

Hearing this, many people looked at Yang Lin curiously, but only Cheng Tianzang was an outsider, he shook his head secretly, feeling that Zhang Bin's move was asking for trouble, as a person who had just taken refuge, the most important thing to do was to honestly wait for orders.

But Zhang Bin didn't have this awareness, and asked Yang Lin very unknowingly, which seemed to be nothing wrong, but it was easy to dislike the superiors.

Sure enough, Yang Lin, who was originally smiling at the corner of his mouth, slowly disappeared after listening to this question, his eyes reluctantly moved away from the ancient painting, and then looked at Zhang Bin's body, and was slightly silent, Yang Lin said lightly: "Your name is Zhang Bin, right?"

Zhang Bin nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Yang Lin squinted, and suddenly said pointedly: "Listening to your question just now, you seem to have seen this painting before?"

Zhang Bin was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when he and Yang Lin's eyes met, he suddenly felt as if he was being targeted by a hungry wolf who ate people and didn't spit out bones, so that Zhang Bin didn't have the courage to lie, and the ghost nodded and admitted.

Seeing this, Yang Lin's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and he continued to ask: Tell me honestly, when did you see this ancient painting, remember, you must tell the truth, don't lie, that will make me very unhappy.

Zhang Bin regrets it very much now, and secretly scolded himself for being so cheap-mouthed and dignified just now, and asked what he was doing?

Facing Yang Lin's aggressive gaze, Zhang Bin could only reply stiffly: Yang Gongzi, when I was a guard in the treasury before, I did see this ancient painting once, and the reason why I was curious was because Ji Ancai seemed to attach great importance to this ancient painting at that time, and there was a period of time when I stayed up all night studying this ancient painting.

Yang Lin stared at Zhang Bin several times before continuing: What happened later, did Ji Ancai come up with a reason.

Zhang Bin shook his head very dryly and said: "Not at all, Ji Ancai studied the ancient paintings for more than half a month, and then he still found nothing, in a fit of anger, he threw the ancient paintings into the warehouse, and since then, he has never paid attention to them." ”

Yang Lin nodded and said, "So there is still this kind of past?"

After speaking, Yang Lin ended the topic and continued to wander around the warehouse.

Zhang Bin breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he notice that his body was covered with cold sweat, and his body felt even weaker, which was the sequelae caused by extreme tension.

Cui Duo walked over and patted Zhang Bin on the shoulder, then frowned and said: "Brother Zhang Bin, what you did just now was a little reckless, after all, we are new people, and we have not yet gained a firm foothold, so we should be cautious in handling things, fortunately, Gongzi did not blame, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds in the future, so as not to get into trouble." ”

Zhang Bin agreed: It was indeed wrong for me to do it just now, and I will definitely pay attention to it in the future, and similar things will not happen again.

Hearing this, Cui Duo didn't say anything more, patted Zhang Bin's shoulder again, comforted him silently, and then kept up with Yang Lin's pace again to see if there was a chance to show his face.

Zhang Bin took a few deep breaths to slowly calm his nervous mood, and finally he took a deep look at the ancient painting on the wall, and like Cui Duo, he kept up with Yang Lin's pace.

Everyone stayed in the warehouse for another quarter of an hour, Yang Lin was satisfied with the people to leave this time, and then Yang Lin instructed Cheng Tianzang: "The guest room will be handed over to you here, count the belongings as soon as possible, and we will leave here tomorrow." ”

Cheng Tianzang hugged his fists and said: "Son, rest assured, his subordinates will handle it properly, and there will never be any loopholes." ”

Yang Lin nodded and said, "I am quite relieved of your ability to do things, and I believe that you will not disappoint me." ”

Then Yang Lin issued several orders to Song Ke, Qian Liehua and other generals, which were nothing more than to let them do all kinds of things after the war.

Finally got Yang Lin's personal Xu Ruo, which made Cui Duo, Zhang Bin and other two or five boys who had always been apprehensive overjoyed, and kept showing their loyalty on the spot.

After everything was arranged, Yang Lin went back to the tent to rest, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, when he left the warehouse, Yang Lin did not take away the ancient painting that he was very concerned about, as if he had forgotten it.

Things have developed to this point, logically speaking, there should be no accidents, and when the Qingtian Village is cleaned up and a fire is set before leaving, then the Qingtian Village, which once dominated a place, will be removed from this world and will never exist again.

Everyone thought so, and it also made people let their guard down, and in this atmosphere, time passed little by little, and the sky soon began to brighten, and it was not long before it was completely dawn.

However, things are often unexpected, at this time, a masked man in black suddenly appeared sneakily near the warehouse, he carefully swept around, and after making sure that the patrol personnel had gone away, he made a decisive move, and by surprise, he successfully knocked out several officers and soldiers guarding the warehouse.

Then the masked man in black pushed open the iron door vigorously, first looked around vigilantly, and only walked in after confirming that it was safe.

After entering the warehouse, the masked man in black came directly to the ancient painting on the wall, gently took it down, rolled up the scroll, and put it close to his body.

It's all here, what are you doing in such a hurry?

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, and the masked black-clothed man stiffened in fright, and he could no longer take a step.

At the door, Yang Lin had already appeared there at some point, his face expressionless, and his cold gaze was firmly fixed on the masked black-clothed man opposite.

At the same time, a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared around the originally quiet storehouse, numbering in the thousands, and the entire storehouse was impassable.

This situation made the masked man in black frightened and frightened, he glanced around in a panic, trying to find a position that could break through, but the result made him desperate, all he saw were officers and soldiers, and even the roof was blocked by many officers and soldiers, and there was no way to escape.

Yang Lin said lightly: "Zhang Bin, I know it's you, if you know each other, you will be arrested obediently, for the sake of your contributions, this son may be able to spare your life, but once you choose to resist, then there will be no way to live, how should you choose, you can do it yourself." ”

Hearing Yang Lin reveal his identity, the masked man in black couldn't help but exclaim, completely messed up, and after a while, he slowly calmed down, and after a while, the masked man in black slowly took off the black cloth on his face, revealing Zhang Bin's pale face.

Seeing that it was really Zhang Bin, the biggest reaction was Cui Duo and other thieves who took refuge, they didn't understand anyway, a good future was just around the corner, at this time, why Zhang Bin couldn't think about it so much, and even ventured into the warehouse to steal an ancient painting that didn't seem to have much value, such a move was too stupid in the eyes of Cui Duo and others, and secretly scolded Zhang Bin for having a bad brain.

And the reason why Cui Duo and the others are really excited is because they and Zhang Bin are both thieves in Qingtian Village, everyone took refuge together, they naturally belong to the same camp, and now Zhang Bin has done such a stealing thing, no matter how it is, it will affect them, so Cui Duo and the others are frightened at the same time, they also hate Zhang Bin.

In order to show that he had nothing to do with this matter, Cui Duo pulled out his weapon with a swish, and took the initiative to ask: "Childe, Zhang Bin is plotting against him, and he deserves death, and his subordinates are willing to step forward and slaughter him." ”

Seeing this, the other newly invested bandits reacted one after another, so they also stood up and expressed their position loudly, some ruthless people, and even announced that they would break Zhang Bin's body into ten thousand pieces.

Zhang Bin on the other side saw the disgusting faces of these bastards, and his body began to tremble with anger, if he could, he really wanted to kill them.

Yang Lin was very satisfied with the performance of Cui Duo and others, and immediately said with a smile: "Very good, now I count three times, if Zhang Bin still refuses to surrender after three sounds, you can go up together and take him down for me." ”

Cui Duo nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, Childe, you will definitely complete the task." ”

Yang Lin glanced at Zhang Bin with a smile, and opened his mouth to count: "Three." ”

Cui Duo and the others clenched their weapons and prepared to start moving, but as for Zhang Bin, they were still hesitating.

Yang Lin continued to count: "Two. ”

Cui Duo and the others gasped, and their hideous faces were very terrifying.

Seeing that Yang Lin was about to count to one, Zhang Bin's face was like ashes, and he finally dropped the weapon in his hand and said bitterly: "I surrender." ”

Yang Lin bowed his head and said, "This is a wise choice, take him down for me." ”

Yes, Childe.

Cui Duo was the first to rush forward, and then put the sharp steel knife on Zhang Bin's neck, and said hatefully: "Zhang Bin, you did something wrong and almost affected the brothers, so don't blame me for being ruthless, all of this is your own doing." ”

Although Zhang Bin was angry, he had nothing to say, because this was indeed the case, he himself was at fault first, and he couldn't complain that others had fallen into the trap for him.

Cui Duo and others escorted Zhang Bin to Yang Lin's body, then took out the ancient painting from Zhang Bin's body and dedicated his hands to Yang Lin.

Yang Lin took the ancient painting, looked at Zhang Bin coldly, and then said, "Tell me honestly, do you know the secrets in the ancient paintings." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bin looked at Yang Lin in surprise and said incredulously: "How do you know." ”

Yang Lin smiled and said nothing, and glanced around, there were many people here, and it was not a place to speak, so Yang Lin took out his hand to seal Zhang Bin's major points, and then ordered: "Escort Zhang Bin back to the handsome tent, my son has something to ask him." ”

The subordinates naturally did it honestly, and three quarters of an hour passed like this, and in the camp tent outside Qingtian Village, only Yang Lin and Zhang Bin were alone at this time, Yang Lin looked Zhang Bin up and down a few times, and then said: "Okay, there are no outsiders now, I hope you will answer my son's question honestly." ”

Zhang Bin smiled bitterly: "Young Master Yang, in fact, I don't know much. ”

Yang Lin said lightly: "How much do you know, just say it." ”

Zhang Bin hesitated for a while, and then asked: "I can say it, but after I say it, I hope that Yang Gongzi can let me go." ”

Yang Lin said noncommittally: "Okay, I promise not to kill you." ”

Hearing Yang Lin promise not to kill him, Zhang Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he spoke: "I knew about the ancient painting in an unexpected situation, it was a year ago, when I was ordered by Ji Ancai to go to Mingyue Valley to find out the news, who knew that I accidentally fell into a trap and was captured by the people of Mingyue Valley." ”

Yang Lin frowned, Mingyue Valley is the largest cottage on the green forest road in Fengzhou, there are tens of thousands of people in the village, and the owner of the village, the 'blood lady' Yan Man, is even more famous, with high skills, known as the female emperor on the green forest road in Fengzhou, the strength of Qingtian Village is far worse than that of Mingyue Valley, Ji Ancai is so bold that he dares to send someone to the territory of Mingyue Valley to inquire about the news, isn't he afraid of getting into trouble?

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Yang Lin asked, "When Ji Ancai sent you to Mingyue Valley, what news did you want to find?" ”

Zhang Bin didn't hesitate, and replied in a deep voice: "Ji Ancai sent me to Mingyue Valley to inquire about the news of the second ancient painting. ”

Yang Lin was not surprised that there was a second ancient painting, as if he had expected it, what made Yang Lin very concerned was that the second ancient painting might be in the Bright Moon Valley, which was really a surprise.

Yang Lin asked, "What is the specific situation, are you sure of the whereabouts of the second ancient painting?" ”

Zhang Bin sighed and said: "I can't do anything at all, Mingyue Valley is full of dangers, I was captured when I arrived there, where is the ability to inquire about the news, if I wasn't clever at the time, I might have died a long time ago." ”

Yang Lin was curious: "Then how did you survive in the end." ”

Zhang Bin was very ashamed and said: Originally, I couldn't live, but later the high-level of Mingyue Valley knew that I was here to inquire about the news of the paintings, so they were all moved, at that time, I knew that the so-called ancient paintings must be heavy treasures, but unfortunately I hadn't seen the ancient paintings at the beginning, and I didn't know if I asked three questions, and then the people of Mingyue Valley promised not to kill me, but the condition was that I wanted me to do things for them, and secretly stole the ancient paintings owned by Ji Ancai to them.

Yang Lin said in a deep voice: "The strength of Mingyue Valley is much stronger than that of Qingtian Village, they want ancient paintings, just grab them directly, why bother so much." ”

Zhang Bin replied: I also thought it was strange at the time, but at that time, as a prisoner, I didn't dare to ask, until later I realized that there were three ancient paintings, in addition to Mingyue Valley and Qingtian Village, the third ancient painting was in the hands of Lei Gongzhai, Lei Gongzhai is the second largest green forest cottage in Fengzhou, although the strength is worse than Mingyue Valley, but it should not be underestimated, Mingyue Valley is worried that Qingtian Village has ancient paintings exposed, attracting Lei Gongzhai's robbery, so he did not dare to rob it with great fanfare, and chose to steal it secretly in secret.

After hearing these words, Yang Lin was suddenly surprised, and then, Yang Lin was a little excited, he didn't expect to learn the news of the other two ancient paintings from Zhang Bin's mouth, which was really unexpected.

As for the secret in the ancient painting, in fact, it is quite cliché, it is said that the three ancient paintings each hide a part of the secret of the treasure map, after the collection of three ancient paintings, you can point out the location of the treasure, when I first came to Fengzhou, I overheard this rumor, Yang Lin did not take it seriously at all, thought it was just a rumor, until the moment I saw the ancient painting in the warehouse, Yang Lin began to believe that the treasure map could be true.

And Zhang Bin's strange appearance of ancient paintings directly aroused Yang Lin's suspicions, he didn't expect that Hongyun would finally learn the whereabouts of the other two ancient paintings in the mouth of Zhang Bin, an inconspicuous person.

Yang Lin couldn't help but start thinking about it in his heart, but he quickly threw away those unrealistic thoughts, looked at Zhang Bin again, and said in a deep voice: "Then you are going to dedicate it to Mingyue Valley when you take the risk of stealing ancient paintings this time." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bin nodded and admitted.

Seeing this, Yang Lin said angrily: "Is there any mistake, is it possible that my Yang Lin's power today is not as good as a small Mingyue Valley, and the credit you have made is enough to eat and drink spicy food here, you are willing to give up these and go back to Mingyue Valley as a lackey, it is really incomprehensible." ”

Zhang Bin's face became bitter haha, and he cried, Yang Gongzi, in fact, I don't want to do this, but there is really no way, the reason why Mingyue Valley boldly let me go back to Qingtian Village as an undercover agent is because they have put a Gu on me, if I dare to betray, the end will definitely be worse than death, and in desperation, I can only go one way to the dark.

Hearing this explanation, Yang Lin's face became a little strange, because this kind of behavior of poisoning people and threatening others to do things for himself, he Yang often does it, not to mention, Cheng Tianzang, who accompanied the army this time, was poisoned by Yang Lin, so he would be so obedient to obey orders, Zhang Bin's experience is very similar to Cheng Tianzang.

However, with the thickness of Yang Lin's face, the different color on his face only appeared for a moment, and it disappeared quickly, and then he saw Yang Lin brazenly said: Mingyue Valley's approach is too much, it is really infuriating, for the sake of you who have something unspeakable, this son will leave you alive for the time being.

Zhang Bin was ecstatic, knelt down and thanked: "Thank you Yang Gongzi for not killing, thank you for your magnanimity, great kindness." ”

Yang Lin said angrily: "Shut up first, this son's words haven't been finished yet, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Hearing this, Zhang Bin's heart tightened for no reason, and he asked extremely nervously: "Young Master Yang, do you have anything else to add." ”

Yang Lin said lightly: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is inescapable, I need you to go back to Mingyue Valley and be my eyes and ears." ”

This request made Zhang Bin stunned, obviously a little unexpected by him, after thinking about it, Zhang Bin asked cautiously: "Young Master Yang, do you want me to find out the location of the ancient painting in Mingyue Valley." ”

Yang Lin said: "This is just one of the aspects, let you go back to Mingyue Valley as your eyes and ears, the main reason is to find out the specific situation of Mingyue Valley, how many people they have, what kind of masters, how many imports and exports, whether there are weaknesses, all of the above, you need to explore with your heart." ”

Zhang Bin was not stupid, after listening to these requests, he quickly thought of a possibility, so Zhang Bin was extremely surprised and said: "Young Master Yang, do you want to exterminate Mingyue Valley." ”

Yang Lin did not deny it, and simply admitted: Exactly, there are too many bandits and bandits in Fengzhou, and their existence has greatly affected the development of Fengzhou.

Where does Zhang Bin still have a choice, now his life is in Yang Lin's hands, if he dares to refuse, he will be killed in minutes, so Zhang Bin still agreed.

Yang Lin smiled with satisfaction, and then, Yang Lin grabbed Zhang Bin's chin with one hand, grabbed Zhang Bin's chin hard, opened his mouth, and then flicked his fingers and flicked a black pill into Zhang Bin's mouth, and finally closed Zhang Bin's mouth, gently placed a little bit in his throat, only to hear a grunt, Zhang Bin swallowed the pill in his mouth fiercely.

After doing this, Yang Lin let go of Zhang Bin without changing his face.

As soon as he was free, Zhang Bin immediately retched, trying to spit out the swallowed pill.

Even if Zhang Bin thought about it with his toes, he understood that the pill that Yang Lin gave him was a chronic poison nine times out of ten, just like the poisonous Gu that Mingyue Valley gave him, in order to control him and prevent him from betraying halfway.
