There's a tavern here

Chapter 15 Spare Hate

After the questioning, the two went to the village chief's courtyard. When they got to the ground, they found that they were indeed more majestic than the remaining bricks and tiles in other houses. The wind of celebrities.

She knocked on the door to see her, but no one responded, Yan Chixia couldn't bear her temper, she slapped the door with her palm, and the iron chain on the door broke, turning into iron filings.

The gate also opened in response to the sound, and what came into view was layers of willows. A gust of wind would bring up a layer of clouds and smoke, and the end of the courtyard could not be seen.

"It seems that some expert has used tricks here."

Yan Chixia walked in and realized it was a trick, but once she found out, it was just a joke.

Then he shot out a burst of energy with his fingers, like a sharp arrow, directly pierced into the willow tree beside him.

The wind stopped and the fog thinned.

It turned out that the vivid scenery just now turned out to be a screen wall in the courtyard, and what was depicted on it was a patch of willows.

Fang Bie and the other two went around the screen wall and entered the courtyard, but they didn't find anything, it was no different from the ordinary courtyard, but the ordinary courtyard would not set up such a method at the door.

Fang Bie saw a water tank in the courtyard, which should be used for drinking, so he walked over to take a little bit of water and put it on the record of vanity and asked:

"Is there any Zhixing San in here?"

[No. ]
After seeing the answer, there was a smile on the other corners of his mouth. Now almost the whole Yunling Village is drinking spring water containing Zhixingsan, but here it is using ordinary water, and he is the village head here. How much is a little strange.

Fang Bie: "There is no Zhi Xing San in this tank of water."

Yan Chixia was excited when she heard this, and clenched her fists.

"Then find out that village chief quickly! That guy must be related to this incident!"

After saying that, Yan Chixia raised her sword and rushed into the main room of the courtyard. The moment she opened the door, several sharp arrows were shot out at the same time and broke through the door. Yan Chixia took off the coir raincoat on her body, With just one flick, the Juehu's arrow array was broken, and with another flick, all the arrows in the coir raincoat were nailed into the wall.

Looking again, the door and windows of the house were directly shot to pieces. Through the door, one could see a crossbow fixed on the table and chair aimed at the door.

If it is an ordinary master, I am afraid that it will directly become a sieve.

But who made Yan Chixia not an ordinary master.

After going through this experience, I am more sure that there must be something wrong with the village chief!
Yan Chixia rushed in and rummaged through it, and Fang Bie also followed.

I really didn't expect that the inside of the house was a different scene.

The floor is covered with high-quality dark wood planks, and there is an elegant woody fragrance in the air. Even the tables and chairs are exquisite, but they are clean and antique.

Don't be amazed:

"The village head is also a person with a bit of taste."

Yan Chixia is disdainful:
"To poison the people and trample on the living beings, even if he has taste, he is nothing more than a scumbag."

After searching, there was no clue, not even a trace of life.

Yan Chixia gritted her teeth and kicked the wall and said, "This is the last room, I hope there is something useful."

Fang Bie also nodded, entered the door of the last room, and found that it was a study.

Different from other places, this place is full of slips of letters, Fang Bie stepped forward to take a look, the books inside are not only limited to Confucian books, but a hundred flowers bloom.

I went forward and took down a Taoist classic to read, but found that these books were slightly raised on the edge of the page, and it seemed that someone had often read them.

After a general look, I can't help but sigh that the wisdom of the sages is the same as that of Taoism in the previous life.

Yan Chixia carefully groped every part of the room, and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with a floor, so she reached out to knock on it.

"Boom! Boom!"

The sound is crisp and has empty layers!

Yan Chixia noticed it suddenly, but this time she pumped her energy into the floor first. If there were any traps, he would really be changed by these insidious things this time.

Immediately after exerting an inch of strength, the wooden plank exploded directly, exposing in front of Yan Chixia's eyes a stairway extending about five or six meters underground.

On the steps were not only the debris of wooden boards, but also several broken crossbows and arrows.

Fang Bie was also attracted by Yan Chixia's movement, put down the book in his hand and stuffed it back on the shelf.

They met Yan Chixia's eyes and walked down together.

After walking along the dark passage for a while, it suddenly became clear.

The two stopped, and what appeared in front of them was a dark room with complete furniture. The candlelight inside illuminated the surroundings, and they could have a panoramic view.

Among them was a man in his forties who was sitting at a desk and flipping through a book, noticing the arrival of the two of them, he also stood up.

Yan Chixia was already holding down the hilt of her sword with one hand ready to strike, but the man waved his hand at them and walked out from the desk.

"It was still found."

Fang Bie asked, "Are you the head of Yunling Village?"

"Yes, I am Li Wangyue, the village head here."

Li Wangyue replied freely, and then took out a secret letter from his waist.

"I'm afraid you are the people sent by the court to track down Qin Quan. This secret letter is the arrangement of the governor of Yunling in Yunling."

Then Li Wangyue smiled playfully and helplessly:

"I bet, even if you know the whole picture, there's nothing you can do."

Fang Bie took the secret letter, and Yan Chixia rushed up and grabbed Li Wangyue by the collar and shouted:

"So you just watched those red-clothed guards drop the banned drug Xingsan under your village!?"

"Do you know that because of this action, the whole village will be littered with dead bodies!"

Li Wangyue shook his head:
"Of course I know, that's why I let the young children in the village and my wife and children escape to Jinzhou, so I left incense for them."

Yan Chixia's arm had burst into blue veins, and he was in a very uncomfortable mood right now.

"Then why can't we resist and kill the group of red guards, or tell the villagers not to drink the water from the spring?"

"If I want to do this, I'm afraid the whole village will be wiped out. Maybe it will be slaughtered by the red guards on the same day, and then it will be rumored that it was killed by the spring demon."

"Then mix Zhixing San into the water source in Yunling City, and the result will be the same."

Fang Bie finished reading the secret letter, and then handed it to Yan Chixia, signaling him to let Li Wangyue go.

Li Wangyue tidied up his clothes and said sadly:
"Most people in the village are no different from my family members to me. Do you think I won't be in pain seeing them in so much pain?! I just want to make the result not too bad!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stay here and wait for you to come."

Fang Bie went to the desk, sat on the chair, rubbed his forehead, sorted out everything and said:

"The governor of Yunling first took a mouthful of spring water mixed with Zhixing San in the village to poison the hearts of the people, and then bribed some people to pour the spring water into the city, intending to cause chaos."

"Then you can justifiably push your forces into the interior of Yunling town, hold the power to make decisions about life and death in Yunling, and take advantage of the chaos to amass money."

"Create another spring demon, so that all things can be blamed on the demon. Even if the superiors send servants to investigate the matter, as long as they are not the emperor's cronies and can directly reach the person who listens to the emperor, the governor can also blame him. The news was blocked."

"Finally destroy the spring that was poured into Xingsan, and after seven days all the addicts will die suddenly, and the governor will report that the demon problem has subsided, and it will be a great contribution."

"It's really a good plan, but it's a pity that Yunling won't be able to recover after more than ten years with this move."

Don't sigh, after all, this is a simple but huge game with countless lives. It's just a pity that what you respect as a treasure is like a worthless thing in the eyes of others.

When Li Wangyue heard Fang's other words, there was an expression of admiration and helplessness on his face.

"What this young man said is very true. Under the general trend, I can't wait for nothing."

Suddenly Yan Chixia dropped the secret letter in her hand on the ground, and leaned against the stone wall, completely different from the high spirits before.

He said tremblingly, "So that's how it is..."

Then he smelled it to Li Wangyue:
"Then why didn't you run away, but stayed behind? Aren't you afraid that we will kill you?"

Li Wangyue smiled:
"I have learned the Four Books and Five Classics since I was a child. I studied the way of saving the people and benefiting the people. Later, I studied the Hundred Schools. I felt that I had made some achievements, so I took part in the scientific examination. I failed the exam..."

"After returning home in embarrassment, I became the head of this village. I thought I could expand my ambitions, but I encountered this unreasonable disaster."

"If you kill me, it will be a relief for me, and you will pity my wife and children."

After hearing this, Yan Chixia took off the arresting token she was proud of from her waist, and threw it on the ground as if venting her anger.

Relieved, he said: "I feel uncomfortable when I think of living under these powerful people after I return to Beijing. Now that the demons are in full swing, I should just become a demon master."

"It's just that about Yunling, I will definitely make him public! Even if I can't, I will definitely make them pay the price!"

Just when Fang Bie was about to pick up the token to comfort Yan Chixia, the scene here turned around again, and the moment he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, the surrounding environment changed from that cramped dark room back to the music here.

The cozy and lively atmosphere was permeating, the sounds of drinkers punching, clinking glasses and chatting broke away the silence still lingering in the ears, and seeing this scene, Fang Bie felt relieved.

Looking back, Yan Chixia also saw two extra wine jars beside Yan Chixia, and said the end of the story with a drunken face.

"In the end, the matter of Yunling ended with Yunling's meritorious service in assassinating Shi Shi and suppressing demons, and he gave him ten thousand taels of gold and silver. So I left the capital and started traveling around to kill demons. After so many years, it's quite interesting."

But Fang Bie saw the unwillingness and powerlessness in the depths through his eyes.
