Chapter 242 Xia Yanxin investigates the traitor
When Xia Yanxin arrived at the village entrance, the villagers had already been walking towards it one after another. Although it was very cold on a winter night, it was a matter of the villagers' safety, so they had to come out and take a look.
Xia Yanxin immediately spotted Xia Chengan standing in front of him, so she walked up to him and said, "An'er, how are you doing?"
Xia Chengan turned around and saw that it was Xia Yanxin. His tense face suddenly smiled: "Sister, I'm fine here, and we have captured the people."
"Sister, what about you? Have you resolved all your issues?" Xia Chengan asked with concern.
Xia Yanxin touched Xia Chengan's hair and said, "My sister's affairs have been dealt with. An'er, you have worked hard."
In fact, Xia Yanxin felt sorry for Xia Chengan because he had to do some immoral things at such a young age that even many adults could not do. Other children of Xia Chengan's age in the village were still acting like a spoiled child in their parents' arms, but his An'er was different. Xia Chengan had to take on adult responsibilities at such a young age.
Xia Chengan was sensitive to Xia Yanxin's emotional changes. He pulled Xia Yanxin's sleeve and said, "Sister, I'm really fine. You don't have to worry about me. I have the ability to protect myself. You know this very well."
"Sister knows, but sister is worried about you." Xia Yanxin looked at Xia Chengan seriously and said with heartache.
Xia Chengan tried hard to change the subject, and finally he saw his savior: "Sister, the village chief is here. I guess he is here to see you."
The village chief came up to Xia Yanxin and said, "Xin girl, is someone trying to break into our village?"
When Xia Yanxin saw the village chief coming, he quickly said, "Yes, there are quite a lot of people coming this time, but I don't know if they are refugees or bandits."
"Refugees? Bandits?" Xia Yanxin's words were hotly discussed among the crowd.
The village chief looked at Xia Yanxin, hoping that Xia Yanxin would tell him that all these words were lies: "Xin'er, what should we do next?"
Just as Xia Yanxin was about to speak, she was interrupted by Hou Pu's voice: "Master... we are back."
Xia Yanxin looked at Hou Pu: "I'm glad you're back. Are you guys injured?"
Hou Pu glanced at the girls around him and said, "Master, we are not injured. When we arrived, they were kneeling on the ground, crying and begging for mercy."
"Oh? Interesting."
"Master, they are kneeling on the ground begging for forgiveness, begging the immortal to spare them. And this man is the leader of the bandits."
Xia Yanxin looked at Houpu and said, "Hopu, from what you said, do you know them?"
Hou Pu pointed at a fat, big-eared man and said, "He is the leader of Huhu Village, nicknamed Brother Huhu. He is a man who does all kinds of evil things, including murder, arson, and often robs passers-by."
"The recent case of a rich young man in Xianhe Town being kidnapped and extorted was committed by him." Hou Pu pointed at Brother Hu Hu and explained his background clearly.
Brother Hu Hu knew that he had run into a tough guy, and he immediately shouted: "The kidnapping and extortion case in Xianhe Town was not committed by me, and it has nothing to do with me."
"Hmph, it doesn't matter? There are witnesses and evidence. You can't make excuses. County Magistrate Luo is looking for you everywhere." Houpu spoke to Brother Huhu without any politeness.
Xia Yanxin had not responded since Houpu started talking. She was thinking about one thing: how did these people know that they could enter Shanghe Village from both sides?
Xia Yan thought of a possibility. Her gentle eyes turned cold when she looked at Brother Hu Hu: "How did you know that there are three entrances and exits in our village?"
Brother Huhu had never expected that Xia Yanxin would not play by the rules at all. He started with the key words: "Are you Xia Yanxin? Who is Xia Baolin to you?"
Xia Yanxin paused. Did this Hu Hu brother know Xia Baolin? This Xia Baolin should have died a long time ago. "We were in the same family tree before."
Xia Yanxin didn't want to admit the relationship between his family and the old Xia family, so he distanced himself from it without thinking.
Brother Huhu laughed: "From your reaction, I know that you are Xia Yanxin, Xia Baolin's enemy. Xia Baolin's body became thinner and thinner until he died. Did you drug him?"
"And was it your doing that he became a eunuch?" Brother Hu Hu struggled to stand up, looking at Xia Yanxin with red eyes, "Why did you do this?"
Xia Yanxin sneered: "Pfft, it seems that you know Xia Baolin. Does he only say that we treat him badly, but never tell you how they treat our third room?"
Brother Hu Hu looked unmoved and said, "I don't care how he treated you. I just want to avenge him."
Xia Yanxin suddenly said: "Do you think you can divert my attention by doing this? I advise you to tell me quickly who the traitor in the village is."
Brother Hu Hu's eyes started to wander: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could there be an insider in the village who is supporting me?"
"If you're so quick to deny it, it means it's true." Xia Yanxin confirmed the fact that the soil in the village had been turned over from Brother Huhu's panicked eyes.
Brother Hu Hu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Xia Yanxin: "Don't be in a hurry to speak, your other men are coming over from your side."
Guyu led a group of bandits behind her and stepped forward: "Master, I have fulfilled my mission and captured all these people, but one person was shot by a machine gun and died on the spot."
Xia Yanxin looked at Guyu encouragingly: "Guyu, you did a great job this time. You guys really worked hard."
Guyu was very happy to receive Xia Yanxin's praise: "Thank you for the compliment, Master."
Xia Yanxin glanced at everyone present and said, "Fellow villagers, don't you think it's strange that these bandits attacked us this time?"
"As everyone knows, our village originally had only one entrance and exit, but later we added two more for convenience, right?"
As soon as Xia Yanxin finished speaking, a villager immediately echoed Xia Yanxin: "Yes, we haven't announced the two new entrances yet."
"Yes, we haven't mentioned this matter to anyone yet, so how did they know?" Xia Yanxin guided the villagers step by step.
"Yes, why didn't we think of this? And you see, everyone on duty tonight fainted and hasn't woken up yet. This is very telling. There must be a traitor in our village."
Xia Yanxin watched as the discussion became more and more heated, and she quickly raised her hand to stop it: "Don't be afraid, folks. I have a medicine here that will make people tell the truth. We need everyone to take one."
