"Xu Chengzhang, come out."

Xu Chengzhang was given a lot of medicine by the doctor. As soon as he fell asleep, he was woken up by an angry shout. He was so frightened that he almost wet his pants, thinking that the family law was about to be implemented now.

At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open, and an angry Fan Shili walked in. Without any courtesy, he walked directly to the bed, pulled Xu Chengzhang up, and said, "Well, Xu Chengzhang, what do you say?

Have you surrendered to the bandits and actually have the guts to come back to do some fine work? Have you killed me even though the family can't kill you?"

Before Xu Chengzhang could react, Fan Shili picked him up and asked confusedly: "Brother Fan, what do you mean? What do you mean by taking refuge with the bandits? How could I, Xu Chengzhang, take refuge with the bandits?"

"You still dare to quibble?" Fan Shili's face turned red with anger. "Okay, I'll make it clear to you. You said that bandits are coming to attack the mountain stronghold. How many bandits are there?"

"This..." Xu Chengzhang didn't see much clearly, but he vaguely felt that there were a lot of people. Otherwise, the accompanying servants wouldn't have been killed by the other party at the first meeting. He hesitated: "There are probably about a hundred people here."

.”

"A hundred or so people?" Fan Shili became even more angry, "How could a hundred or so people come to attack the stronghold? Are the bandits crazy?"

"This..." Xu Chengzhang hesitated and couldn't say anything. He also felt that something was wrong. There were more than a hundred people. Even if they lent the bandits some courage, they probably would not dare to attack the mountain stronghold, but his bandit leader did say that he would attack.

It's a fake village, and it has to be disguised as a farmer delivering iron materials. It sounds like it has a nose and eyes, so it doesn't look like a fake.

Seeing that Xu Chengzhang was hesitant to speak, Fan Shili asked again: "And the most important thing is, you said that when someone escaped, the guards went to arrest the escaped person, and that gave you an opportunity to escape, right?"

Bar?"

"Yes." Xu Chengzhang nodded repeatedly and said with certainty: "Everything I said is true. I did take the opportunity to escape while the guards were chasing the fugitives. I can swear to God."

"Shit, I swear to God?" Fan Shili spat at him disdainfully and said, "Don't you think about it, do you need everyone to go out together to catch the fugitive? If you don't even leave a guard, they won't be afraid of you escaping.

Is it the more important person to escape? Or is it more important to you?"

Hearing what Fan Shili said, Xu Chengzhang also felt that it was too easy for him to escape. Along the way, especially when he left, the pursuers who were chasing him followed him. Logically speaking, they were all able-bodied.

Young people should not run slower than an old man who is nearly fifty years old. In addition, he was tortured not long ago, so his speed will definitely be slower than normal people...

Thinking of this, Xu Chengzhang also felt that something had changed. He seemed to have been fucked by the other party. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. His body was shaking unconsciously, and big beads of sweat slowly fell from his forehead, and he didn't care.

After wiping it off, he knelt down and kowtowed to Fan Shili: "Brother Fan, you have to believe me. I am definitely not a bandit. You have to believe me."

Seeing his former friend being frightened into this state, the anger in Fan Shili's heart had long since dissipated, and the friendship over the years had taken over again. He sighed, and he knew in his heart that his friend was probably not a good friend, after all.

After getting along for so many years, I still know what kind of person he is and would never do such a thing. He helped his kneeling friend up and said, "Okay, okay, get up. You and I have been together for so many years.

, I know you will not join the bandits, you were just deceived."

Xu Chengzhang climbed up tremblingly, and the wound that had been bandaged on his body burst open again, and blood soaked his clothes. Seeing his friend's appearance, Fan Shili couldn't bear it, and helped him sit on the bed, comforting him with words.

After a few words, he continued: "Since the bandits will not attack the village, what do you think the bandits want to do when they go to such trouble?"

Yes, since they won't attack the mountain stronghold, why would those bandits go to such trouble to deceive themselves? Can't they just leave?

Leave directly? A flash of lightning flashed through Fan Shili's mind. Fan Shili took a sharp breath and said, "Yes, it must be like this." After saying that, he got up and walked around the room, "It must be like this."

Seeing his old friend startled, Xu Chengzhang wanted to ask, but thinking that he was still waiting to be punished, he pressed back. As if hearing Xu Chengzhang's inner monologue, Fan Shili asked: "Old man Xu, you said you pulled

How much iron was used?"

"There are fifty-four cars in total." Xu Chengzhang remembered this very clearly.

"That's it, how many bandits are there?"

"About a hundred people."

"I dare to conclude that the purpose of those bandits is to hold us back and buy time for them to transport iron materials." Fan Shili said firmly.

"But I brought hundreds of young people with me when I came. It won't be much slower for them to use young people to transport goods, but why do they spend so much money?" Xu Chengzhang asked rhetorically.

"This is the crux of the problem. I suspect that those young and strong civilians must have taken advantage of the chaos to escape. The bandits had no one in their hands and could not transport the iron materials within a certain period of time, so they took this strategy." Fan Shili thought more and more.

I felt that this must be the case, and my pace became faster and faster.

"It seems, it seems, maybe, that's the case." Xu Chengzhang tried desperately to recall the scene at that time. It seemed that when the bandits came, everyone dispersed, the servants were killed, and he fell into the hands of the other party. What happened next

Things are no longer known.

"If this is the case, then the bandits must not have gone far. As long as I lead the army down the mountain at this time, I will definitely be able to kill all these bandits." Fan Shili's breathing became rapid, as if he had seen the scene when he was promoted to be the boss of a party.

Thinking of this, Fan Shili ignored Xu Chengzhang who was still reminiscing next to him, and said directly: "This matter should be done sooner rather than later. I will go down the mountain and capture all these bandits. By then, your guilt will be less.

"

What could Xu Chengzhang say at this time? He could only say thank you: "Thank you Brother Fan, Brother Fan's trip will be a success...". Before Xu Chengzhang could finish speaking, Fan Shili left impatiently.

After walking out of the room, Fan Shili immediately ordered his servants to gather the servants and let's go down and suppress the bandits.

Everyone was ready, they had been called up just now, and they were guarding the village on the wall. When they heard the order to assemble, they all rushed to the gate of the village to assemble.

Fan Shili looked at the languid servants and shouted excitedly: "Brothers, there are more than a hundred bandits at the foot of the mountain. Let's go down the mountain and kill them. We will give each person twenty taels of silver when we come back. Those who have performed meritorious service and were injured will be counted separately."

With just one sentence, the morale of the servants, who were full of complaints and depressed, was immediately boosted. There were more than a hundred bandits, and there were more than 500 on my side. Five of them were fighting one, and they still had twenty taels of silver. They were going to fight.

Are you going to steal money? If you are still dissatisfied, you can't wait to rush to the bandits and fight them for 300 rounds.
