Chapter 11: Inner Ghost!
"Owner of the village, I think the robbers from Qinglong Mountain came this time, not to extort money."
Su Peng said to the owner of the village, Dr. Han.
"I think so, too...... But what can be done? Can you still invite the Black Water Army of Jiangning County to come and exterminate it? I heard that half of the money robbed by the robbers in Qinglong Mountain went into the pocket of the deputy commander of the Blackwater Army, so they can be allowed to be here, even if they go to report to the Blackwater Army today, the Blackwater Army will not do anything else except come over with a team of people to take a look, we still have to take money for the army, there is not much money in the stockade, and we can't afford it......"
Doctor Han sighed and said to Su Peng.
"Owner, things are not so simple, just now, I heard ......"
Su Peng stepped forward and told Dr. Han what he had just heard.
"What? There are ghosts in the village, and they want to open the door? Listening to Su Peng's words, the lord of Han Zhai was suddenly shocked!
"Owner of the village, is there anything important in the village? Those robbers who came here to plunder? Su Peng asked Dr. Han.
"As far as I know, there is nothing but money in the stockade...... There is nothing important, what do the robbers of Qinglong Mountain want? Do you hear clearly, they are really going to build the cottage? You must know that if they forcibly attack the village, the Blackwater Army will definitely not sit idly by, and the deputy commander will not be able to suppress this matter, if what you say is true, it will be a big trouble! ”
"The owner of the village, I think, at this time it is already very dangerous, today I think, if we close the gate of the village a little later, those robbers may have to break the village and attack it, and the thieves have not been cleared, in case they are joined forces inside and outside, the green mountain village is in danger! Now the plan is to find out the inner ghost first, we should ......be like this," Su Peng whispered in Dr. Han's ear.
Soon, in the evening, it was time for the smoke to rise and the campfire to cook.
In a house in the Qingshan Village, a man in his forties, with an ordinary appearance, like an ordinary peasant man, was cooking on the fire, and suddenly, the door squeaked open.
"Brother Hu?" The peasant man, when he saw the old hunter who walked in outside the door, couldn't help but say in surprise.
"Ha, Brother Xu, what else are you cooking? Accompany my brother for a whole cup. The old hunter's face seemed to be covered with the wind and frost wrinkles cut by a carving knife showed a smile, and he raised a smoked rabbit in his hand, as well as a pot of old wine, and said to the peasant man: "The rabbit I hunted a few days ago was smoked by Aunt Li, and there is a pot of old wine at home. ”
"Yes." When the peasant man heard this, he rubbed his hand a few times on himself, then got up and went with the old hunter to the back room.
Entering the house, the old hunter tore the rabbit, the farmer man took out two broken wine cups, the old hunter poured a cup for the farmer, the two of them had a cup, the old hunter poured two cups of wine, to the farmer man, said: "A flash, Brother Xu, you have also lived in Qingshan Village for three years, I think back then, it was I who met you in the forest, you were covered in blood, wake you up, only to know that you are a foot merchant, met a big worm, you said that your goods are scattered, there is no money, I will lead you to the village, give you a house, The land has been opened, and this time it has been three years, and I plan to tell you a daughter-in-law, but you don't want to say that you don't want this. ”
"Huh." The peasant man smiled a few times, as if he was not good at words, picked up the wine cup and said, "I can't speak, respect my brother." ”
So saying, he threw up his head and drank the wine.
The old hunter shook his head, did not drink the wine, and said with a look of regret in his eyes: "I can't figure it out, the village has not treated you badly, why do you do such a thing?" ”
When the peasant man heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to be stunned, and said, "What's wrong with me?" ”
"What you did, you know for yourself!"
At this time, the door of the peasant man's house opened, and outside, Su Peng, Ji Ming, as well as Dr. Han, and several strong young students, poured in!
"The owner of the village...... What's wrong with me? Why are you in this battle? Do you want to catch me? What did I do? Seeing the ropes in the hands of those sturdy juniors, the peasant man seemed to be stunned and shouted to Dr. Han.
"Alas...... Have I treated you badly? ...... actually be an internal ghost" Doctor Han sighed and said, "Your affairs have been investigated by this offspring, let him tell him." ”
As he spoke, Dr. Han looked at Su Peng.
Su Peng nodded and said, "Xu Guohan, after the Qinglong Mountain siege today, you talk to the merchant person, I have heard it clearly, don't resist anymore, just tie your hands and arrest it." ”
"What are you talking about? Why don't I understand? This peasant man, after listening to Su Peng's words, shouted loudly.
"Hehe......" Su Peng was not in a hurry to say anything, first smiled, and then said: "Do you still want to deny it?" Now the black smoke coming out of your chimney means everything, that is, it is the signal for you to contact the bandits of Qinglong Mountain! ”
Ji Ming nodded, and said behind Su Peng: "I've already seen it, in the entire village, only your home is black smoke, which rises very high in the sky." ”
"What the hell!" When Xu Guohan, a peasant man, heard this, he couldn't help but shout: "I don't understand what you are talking about, and what kind of law has you broken when you say it is true, my family is a little darker, and what law has been violated?" ”
"It's not illegal to smoke black, but it's weird to add wolf dung to firewood." Su Peng said, and then said: "Search his house, whether there is wolf dung!" ”
A few juniors immediately responded, and after a while in the stove of Xu Guohan's house, someone immediately shouted: "There is a pile of wolf dung covered by firewood!" ”
Xu Guohan's face immediately changed, and after a while, he said, "But wolf dung doesn't mean anything." ”
At this time, he seemed to speak in a different tone than usual.
"You really don't give up on the Yellow River...... Su Peng looked at Xu Guohan with some pity, and said, "Today, I was near the carpenter's house and heard a conspiracy conversation...... It's just that he was not too careful, and he alarmed the two people who were talking. I didn't see the person I was talking to, but there I smelled a pungent smell. ”
"I always thought the smell was familiar, but I didn't think about it for a while, but I found a suspicious point."
"In that conspiracy conversation, there was a person who was responsible for delivering the news to the bandits of Qinglong Mountain, and almost no one in the stockade had such a possibility...... Qinglong Mountain is not close to here, it takes a long time to go back and forth, and there are no suspicious people in the village. ”
"So I suspect that the footman who came to the village, the neighborhood has not been peaceful recently, and there are very few walkers in the past, but this person is still doing business nearby, and I asked Aunt Li of the inn, the footman has come once a month for three years, but this time he only came seven days apart, he is the easiest person to pass on information to the robbers of Qinglong Mountain."
"But there is another suspicion, that is, during the conversation, you said that you gave the signal to the bandits of Qinglong Mountain, not the merchant, and now that the village is closed, I doubt what means will you use to transmit the signal?"
"It was at this time that I remembered what that pungent smell was...... It's wolf dung, the smell of burning wolf dung. ”
"In this way, the following is logical...... What means did the two people who conspired to talk use to transmit the signal...... It's wolf smoke! The smoke from burning wolf dung will turn black and linger in the sky for a long time, it is wolf smoke! ”
"I have a good memory...... When I recalled noon, I found that it was your home, the smoke coming out was black, and most people would not pay attention to this. ”
"The easiest people in the village to get wolf dung are Uncle Hu and Ji Ming, and the rest of the people won't provoke wolves at all, I asked, Ji Ming said, a few days ago you said that you heard that wolf dung can cure old and cold legs, and you paid for it and let him collect a lot."
"The pungent smell is also very easy to explain, after you sent the signal, but you didn't expect the people from Qinglong Mountain to rush up directly, in a hurry, you found the foot merchant, but you didn't expect that the pungent smell of burning wolf dung on your body has not dissipated, revealing a flaw! The inner ghost in the cottage is you! ”
Su Peng pointed to Xu Guohan and said.
"Hmph......" Xu Guohan heard this, snorted coldly, he was holding the wine cup, his face was still so ordinary, but in a pair of eyes, there was a glint of essence.
"I hunt geese all year round, but I didn't expect to be pecked by geese...... I was actually seen by you, a descendant...... You...... Take your life! ”
Xu Guohan suddenly burst out, he suddenly raised his hand, and the wine cup shot at Su Peng!
The speed of the wine cup was extremely fast, Su Peng didn't have time to react, but instinctively raised his arm to block it, and suddenly, Su Peng felt a huge amount of force coming from the wine cup, as if his entire arm was about to be broken!
With a huge amount of force, he flew backwards with Su Peng and fell on the wall!
"All of you are going to die...... Xu Guohan looked hideous and shouted loudly!
