The mansion of the prefect of Shiliang.
Boom!
The fat magistrate Fan slammed the tea cup on the ground.
"This is unreasonable. Who is so bold as to lead troops to suppress Black Wind Ridge without permission?"
The news that Black Wind Ridge had been wiped out made him furious.
This year's annual tribute has not been paid, so why was it suppressed?
"Father, calm down!" said a young master next to him, "He Rong is leading the troops."
He is none other than Fan Xiuwen, the son of the prefect.
"He Rong? How dare a county captain cut off my wealth?" Magistrate Fan clenched his fists, wishing to cut He Rong into pieces immediately.
After all, Heifengling can give him a lot of money every year. If it is destroyed, what else will it mean to cut off his financial path?
"Call him over with me immediately. I want to ask him who gave him the courage to destroy Black Wind Ridge?"
"Father, please calm down!" Fan Xiuwen said, "This He Rong just took advantage. There is someone else who really destroyed Black Wind Ridge!"
Magistrate Fan was stunned for a moment, "Is there someone else? Who?"
"This man's name is Li Qian, he is a villager in Beiba Village. Heifeng Ridge was destroyed in his hands!" Fan Xiuwen said.
"Can a villager destroy Heifeng Ridge?" Fan Zhifu said that he couldn't believe it at all.
"I know it's hard for my father to believe it now, but it is indeed this person who caused Black Wind Ridge to be destroyed!" Fan Xiuwen said.
"How do you know so well?" Magistrate Fan didn't care whether this matter was true or not, but how could his son know about it.
"Someone told me." Fan Xiuwen said, "This person once had some contact with Mr. Gao and that Li Qi'an, so he knows some things very well."
"The person who has been with Gao Peng, you mean Zhou Guangji?" Fan Zhifu also calmed down, "I have been with Gao Peng before. Do you mean that he is no longer with Gao Peng?"
Fan Xiuwen nodded, "Mr. Gao is missing now, so he is now considered an ownerless person."
"Gao Peng is missing?" Magistrate Fan was slightly surprised, "Can this Young Master Gao still be missing?"
"It is true that he is missing. Zhou Guangji has also been looking for Mr. Gao's whereabouts. He even asked me to look for him as well." Fan Xiuwen said.
"Even if Gao Peng disappears, what does it have to do with that villager?" Magistrate Fan snorted coldly.
"Mr. Gao has been to Ande Town before, and Beiba Village is in Ande Town!" Fan Xiuwen said.
"Even so, what does it have to do with talking to us about Heifeng Ridge?" Governor Fan didn't bother to care whether Gao Peng was missing or dead. What he only cared about now was how he could make a fortune if Heifeng Ridge was destroyed.
"Mr. Gao once borrowed men and horses from Black Wind Ridge. It is said that he was trying to deal with Li Qi'an, but the end result was that all those men and horses fell into Li Qi'an's hands." Fan Xiuwen just said.
"Gao Peng wants to deal with this Li Qian? Why?" Fan Zhifu actually became a little interested. After all, how could a young master from Duke Gao's palace have a grudge against a villager.
"I don't know much about this matter. I only know that Li Qian and Heifengling have had a grudge for a long time. The disappearance of Mr. Gao is also related to him. So, father, please don't underestimate this person!" Fan Xiuwen Dao.
"It doesn't matter whether I underestimate him or not. Since you know what happened at Black Wind Ridge and it was him who did it, why don't you catch him back?" Magistrate Fan just said in a deep voice.
"Father, this person is not simple. Even Black Wind Ridge fell into his hands. It may not be easy to capture him and bring him back!" Fan Xiuwen said.
"Hmph, what's so difficult? He's just a villager. No matter how talented he is, he can only be a villager. Is it possible that even if our prefecture wants to capture a villager, we can't do it?" Prefect Fan snorted coldly.
"Father, it's not that it can't be done, but it's not the right time yet!"
