Chapter 194 Return to the cottage

Yang Zhan thought that this old man who was fishing was not Tao Yong's all the way, on the contrary, Yang Zhan also faintly felt that he was spying on Tao Yong. If this is the case www.biquge.info then there should be another person who knows about Tao Yong's lurking, and he seems to be intent on competing with the master behind Tao Yong.

Yang Zhan suddenly remembered Hong Tonghai who he had seen in She County, so he asked about the robbers in the mountains one by one. It's just that the villagers are secretive about this issue, and everyone seems to be reluctant to talk about it. Yang Zhan expected that the villagers were afraid of retaliation, so he said proudly: "The old man has a friend who has forgotten his old age, and he said that a few months ago, he broke the lair of thieves and bandits, and now there are no more bandits in the mountains. ”

But the villagers were all disdainful, and when the farmer saw the clue, he inquired a little, only to learn that the bandit's den was still there, and the grass coke also did the same thing to intercept passers-by.

Yang Zhan and Hua Linglong didn't believe it, because after they defeated the bandits that day, they obviously dismissed everyone in the village, how could anyone still do evil? But when they thought about it, they suddenly realized again: Although Yang Zhan broke the den of thieves, he was an outsider after all, and he would naturally leave after a short stay, and these bandits could take the opportunity to make a comeback.

It's just that Yang Zhan remembered the various corrupt behaviors of these bandits, so he was furious, and he couldn't wait to solve them with one knife in the first place. Seeing Yang Zhan's gritted teeth, the villagers persuaded: "These people fell into the grass here three years ago, but they never harmed the residents of the village, and if there is a happy event in the village, they will send someone to give a gift, it should not be a heinous crime." ”

The villagers' statements were exactly what Yang Zhan wanted to hear, because he remembered that Hong Tonghai's wives and concubines were the women who were robbed in the village that day, but Si Nongguan said that they had already married, and it seemed that the thieves' den in the mountains was also deliberately arranged. Who, then, designed it like this? What was his purpose? Could it have something to do with Tao Yong? It seems that all the mysteries will have to be solved by a visit to the den of thieves.

Yang Zhan then thanked the villagers and the farmer official, and then pretended to be in a hurry and asked the farmer to go back first. Since Si Nongguan had gained what he had lost, he hoped to return to the yamen as soon as possible to clear his name, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Yang Zhan.

Yang Zhan and the other agricultural officials went away, and they and Hua Linglong walked back to the thieves' nest. It's just that they didn't want to alarm the bandits for a while, so they quietly went up the mountain around the path. The situation in the mountains is indeed as the villagers said, the dozens of grass are still entrenched here, but compared to the bullying of men and women seen last time, this meeting is much more peaceful.

Yang Zhan saw that the men and women were in pairs, and they always had the intention of raising their eyebrows, but they didn't see the slightest compulsion, so he was even more sure that this den of thieves was different. Yang Zhan then appeared out, and the grass in the village suddenly saw outsiders entering, so both men and women were on alert.

"Who are you, dare to trespass on my dark cloud village?" the first thief scolded.

"The old man happened to pass by here, and when he saw the fire here, he came to see it. Yang Zhan said unhurriedly.

"When I saw that you were old and weak, and that you had no money, I advised you to leave quickly, or else you would die here. Another slightly older bandit snapped.

"The leader has said, but if an outsider breaks in, how can you let them go?" said the bandit at the head worriedly.

When the rest of the people heard this, they all agreed, but they wanted to kill Yang Zhan. These bandits are all old faces, and Yang Zhan replied to his original voice and smiled: "Haha, I'm afraid I want to take your dog's life today." ”

The thief felt that this voice was familiar, and saw that Hua Linglong on the side was very familiar, so he cautiously asked, "Who are you?"

Yang Zhan then took off the wooden box on his back, and when he pulled out the bright ghost-eyed mad knife, the bandits finally understood who this old man was. I saw that the thieves knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but how did they look like thieves who had done all the bad things?

"I said that day, I want you not to do anything that hurts nature and reason again, otherwise you will be killed to the end. But now that you are gathering here to endanger one party, how can I spare it?" Yang Zhan said angrily.

Yang Zhan was furious, and the bandits' legs immediately became weak, and they each thought about how to end the game. Then a clever thief suddenly said: "The last time the hero woke up the person in the dream, I knew that we were harming people, so we each took in the victim that day. I believe that the heroes also saw it, and we did not persecute them anymore. ”

The female stream in the village nodded again and again, indicating that this was the case.

"It's just that we have been in the grass for a long time, and it is difficult for the world to have a foothold, so we agreed to return here to settle down. As for the evil things that the hero said, I didn't do it again. The thief said excitedly.

Yang Zhan wouldn't believe what they said, because the scene he saw in Hong Tonghai in She County had completely explained that the last time he saw and heard it was a good show they played together. But Yang Zhan didn't want to say it right away, after all, there was a secret hidden behind these people, and he was afraid that they would play some clever tricks if he said it easily.

Yang Zhan then swung his knife and slashed, and immediately a few strands of hair fell down. When the head of the thief suddenly felt that his head was loose, he suddenly became a cloak and scattered. The thief hurriedly touched his head, but he was already frightened.

"I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin, and I tell you honestly, what did you do here last month? But there is a half-false, the knife in my hand will take your head. Yang Zhan said fiercely.

The bandits were all shocked, but no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't think of what they had done in the last month. But Yang Zhan was approaching step by step, and they were really worried that their lives would be in danger, so they told them about robbing passers-by and extorting money from passers-by a month ago.

In fact, Yang Zhan didn't know what bad things they had done, but when he heard them talk about it, he also felt that things should be similar. It's just that Yang Zhan thought about it again, how can dozens of people gather here, just by passing by and robbing some trivial silver taels, so he pretended to be curious: "I only robbed dozens of taels of silver in January, how can it be enough for the cost of this cottage?"

The thieves were all stunned, and then they said "enough" again.

"You are clearly lying. This place is very remote, and there are few people on weekdays, so it is not suitable for thieves' dens at all. What is your intention by pretending to fall here?" Yang Zhan asked.

The bandits were all surprised, and then they all insisted that they were the grass robbers who made a living by robbing here. Yang Zhan saw that everyone was going to die and didn't say anything, so he told Hong Tonghai about it, and the thieves were speechless when he heard it.

"You are actually a group of people, but the division of labor is pretending to be robbers and victimized passers-by, if you don't tell the truth and the people behind the funding, today's Wuyun Village will definitely be a river of blood. Yang Zhan said angrily.

When the thieves saw that Yang Zhan had found out his identity, they were all nervous. But at this moment, a tall and thin bandit suddenly got up and said: "The hero's eyes are like torches, but this just proves that we are not evildoers, so why should the dark cloud village be bloody?"

The bandits came back to their senses and said the same thing.

Yang Zhan smiled coldly and scolded: "I vaguely remember that I was almost arrested by you last time, and you also explained the act of looting passers-by a month ago, so it is not a crime?"

The bandits were speechless. Yang Zhan continued: "The people who funded you behind not only framed me, but also killed many loyal people, and I will never let you go. ”

Although Yang Zhan didn't know who the person who arranged for the bandits to be stationed here, he thought that this matter must be related to Tao Yong, so he blamed him for all the previous conspiracies. But in this way, the bandits became uncharacteristically angry.

"Haha, it's funny. The third prince is loyal and good, he is chivalrous and upright, and he also has a lot of help in Zhao and Song Guoyun, how can you compare with such a thief as you say?" said the tall and thin thief generously.

Yang Zhan couldn't help but ask, "Who is the third prince?"

The thief protector was so anxious that he broke his mouth for a while, but now Yang Zhan asked, but no one refused to say a word.

Yang Zhan saw that the situation was like this, so he also said anxiously: "I was lured here by a traitor, but I didn't expect to be wronged many times because of this, the third son is so scheming, but he is quite similar to the thief who framed me. Even if you don't say it today, I will find him in the future. ”

The bandit had seen Yang Zhan's martial arts, so he was naturally worried about it, so he saw the slightly older thief hurriedly said: "This must be a misunderstanding, the third prince is all focused on the great cause of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has never interfered in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the hero must be mistaken." ”

Yang Zhan only said disdainfully: "If you don't have a roundworm in his stomach, how can you know his thoughts? If the third prince is really as you said, I will respect him for his contribution to the country, but if I go to confront him and find that he is the one who framed me, then my big sword will never show mercy." ”

The thieves refused to allow Yang Zhan to go to find the third son, but if he didn't tell him, he obviously couldn't stop him, so he asked Yang Zhan to swear to the sky that he would not tell anyone about today's events. Yang Zhan saw that they were so solemn, so he also agreed.

The thieves then told the background of the three sons, but Yang Zhan was greatly surprised when he heard it. It turned out that this third prince was Zhang Huizhi, the third son of General Zhang Xian, who commanded General Zhang Xian under the command of the Yue family's army, and these people were subordinates who followed Zhang Xian at the beginning, and they hid here completely to avoid the pursuit of the imperial court.

In this way, Yang Zhan was relieved, because the four compartments of the Dragon Shenwei commanded Zhang Xiannai to resist the gold, and later died in prison, but he also belonged to the same main battle faction as his ancestor, and his descendants naturally would not be the one who framed his ancestor, and the murder of Wang Zhonglu and the other four people had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Although Yang Zhan believed that Zhang Huizhi would not be the mastermind behind this matter, these thieves came here three years ago, so they would never be as simple as just hiding. Yang Zhan thought of the old angler who also came here three years ago, so he asked, "The old man and the young man on the opposite side of Lotus Peak are also the old department of the third prince, right?"

Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Yang Zhan thought about it again and said: "This person had a grudge against me before, if it is the old department of the third son, I will no longer pursue it." ”

Seeing this, the bandit nodded silently. (To be continued.) )
