Li Ergou's hands were full of calluses, and they hit Shumin's face, no matter how light it was, it made her skin red, but what was more unbearable than the pain was nausea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"You'd better not mess around, I'm very familiar with the county magistrate, if I lose a single hair, he will definitely not let you go." Shu Min emboldened herself and said, although she knew that the chance of fooling the other party was very small, but her heart was already trembling with self-love. These people still seem to be repeat offenders!

"Boss, what nonsense to talk about her, if you like it, go straight to it, and wait for a cheap brother. Hehe......" Li Si said with a smile, just now he pounced on Shu Min and stunned Shu Min, carrying her all the way to this secret abandoned hut, Shu Min's soft body had already made his heart flutter along the way, if it weren't for Li Ergou not allowing him to get close to her, he would have been unable to bear it.

"Smack!" A slap hit Li Si in the face loudly, "I don't need you to teach me how to do it!" Has the letter been delivered? ”

Seeing Li Sise's squinting eyes, Li Ergou felt a burst of jealousy in his heart, he didn't plan to cheapen anyone with this Qin woman, if he could, he would bother to train it well and stay by his side to enjoy it.

"Yes, yes, the letter was delivered to the Drunken Wind Building and handed over directly to the shopkeeper." Li Si was slapped by him, and although he was not convinced, he didn't dare to show it, and said weakly.

"You sent it yourself?" Li Ergou frowned when he heard this.

"I didn't ...... I remember the words of the boss, and found a dumb beggar, and gave him a few copper coins, and asked him to give them, and I hid and saw him deliver the letter before leaving. Li Si hurriedly said.

"You've got a bit of a brain." Li Ergou said, "What about Butcher Zhang? ”

"Send him to get some food." Zhang San replied, "I see that Zhang butcher is not very reliable, do you want to ......" Zhang San made a gesture of wiping his throat.

"No, I'll keep that person useful, this Qin woman is not an ordinary woman, there must be someone to carry the black pot after the thing is over. Hehe......." Li Ergou smiled with a calculating smile. Joke, what kind of thing is Butcher Zhang, and he deserves to share the dirty silver with them?

"Hey, hey, the boss is scheming." Zhang San patted the horse.

A few of them talked about themselves, and almost forgot about Shu Min, but the more Shu Min listened, the more shocked he became. These people are really repeat offenders, and it's not easy to deal with!

And they mentioned Butcher Zhang, could it be that Butcher Zhang is also one of the accomplices? Thinking of the cheap stepfather of Feng'an, who loves to take advantage, Shumin gritted his teeth.

is still a relative, just for a little bit of silver, he ganged up with others to kidnap himself, this kind of person is really innocent!

However, he didn't seem to be looking for the right person to work with, and while he was away, they were discussing how to divide his share of the ticket money, and then splashed dirty water on him. It can be regarded as his own self-immolation!

But the three of them are not afraid to talk about it themselves, does it mean that her fate is not much better?

Shumin couldn't wait to close his ears and hear nothing.

"Ergou, I brought some dry food back, let's come over and eat it." Butcher Zhang came back, and Li Ergou stopped their conversation with a few tacit understandings, and instead stared at the food he brought.

"Hah...... I said Butcher Zhang, you went out for a long time and came back with such things? What is it? Steamed bread? You're going to let our big brother eat these things? Zhang Sanyi flipped through the cloth bag, only turned out a steamed bun, and shouted at Zhang Butcher in dissatisfaction.

"I ...... Aren't I panicked, and I didn't dare to enter the city, so I bought it at the shop outside the city, and there were no meat buns at this time, just a few steamed buns left, do you like to eat them! Butcher Zhang's face was full of panic, it was easy to get on a thief ship and get off a thief ship, he regretted it until his intestines were blue, who knew that Li Ergou was a person who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he really dared to do something to kidnap the ticket.

"Okay, when you get the ticket money, do you want to eat anything?" Li Ergou said to Zhang San, "I'll go into the city to inquire about the news in a while, and you guys will wait for me to come back." ”

"Inquire about the news, I'll just go, how can I let the boss go to run errands in person!" Zhang San said with a smile.

"Can you have my way? I still have to go to this matter in person, you have a good look at the meat ticket. Li Ergou replied nonchalantly, and his heart was very useful to Zhang San's flattery.

"What about me?" Butcher Zhang asked, he is a family man, if he does not go back for a few days, his family will inevitably worry.

But if he goes back, he will show his feet sooner or later. Where would Li Ergou not know him.

"You just stay and serve the meat ticket well, aren't you relatives?!"

"Alas...... All right. Butcher Zhang said with a crying face, silently glanced at Shumin's direction, saw her sitting obediently, without saying a word, but her blindfolded eyes were facing them in several directions, as if she had been staring at them with hateful eyes, Butcher Zhang took a steamed bun with a weak heart and stuffed it into Shumin's hand.

"Eat some too," he said weakly.

"Butcher Zhang, you can even do this kind of thing, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder?" Shu Min said fiercely, but his voice was not loud but made Butcher Zhang tremble.

"I don't want to, I ......" he tried to quibble, but he didn't know what to say. Alas..... In short, if you cooperate with them well, they will let you go when they take the money. ”

"Let me go, you're too naïve, I'm blindfolded, I can't see their appearance, but I know you, will you let me go?" Shumin sneered.

"You ......" Butcher Zhang's heart sank, and he glanced sideways at Li Ergou and the three of them, feeling as if he had been calculated.

Li Ergou ate two steamed buns at random and went into the city to inquire about the news, leaving Zhang San, Li Si and Zhang Butcher, Zhang Butcher felt that although his brain was sometimes easy to turn around, he also saw that Zhang San and Li Si were guarding against him.

"Bah, if you dare to yin Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will never be soft." Among the three of them, he also knew Li Ergou, Zhang San and Li Si He also met for the first time, Shumin's words made him a lot more alert, and now he sees that they are really guarding against themselves, and he is more sure of the guess in his heart.

Li Ergou entered the city when it was dark, and it was already past the hour, but the city gate was not closed, and the officers guarding the city seemed to have doubled or so, and checked the people passing by one by one.

"What for? What's the matter with going into the city? As soon as he approached the gate, he was stopped.

"The small home is in the city, and the relatives have just returned." Li Ergou replied with a smile on his face, his heart was not beating, he took out a few copper coins in his hand, quietly stuffed them to the guards, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" All of a sudden, so strict. ”

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, no problem, you can go in." The guards didn't take his money, and the county commander personally ordered him to arrest suspicious people, and he didn't want to bury his future for a few copper coins.

Li Ergou smiled and said, "Then thank you, uncle, please drink in the future." ”

As soon as Li Ergou left, Cheng Sheng led a group of people over to change shifts, and when he saw Li Ergou's back, he felt familiar, he frowned slightly and asked, "Who is that person?" ”

"That's Li Ergou in the city, coming back from relatives." Shoucheng replied honestly.

Cheng Sheng taught tofu with Shumin, which can be regarded as a small achievement, and after coming back, he was promoted two levels and became a foreman of the Yamen head catcher, and he was one of the few people who knew who the kidnapped and missing person was, so he took the initiative to ask for orders to come to the city gate, hoping to find some clues as soon as possible.

"Li Ergou?" He looked at Li Ergou's back and always felt that something was wrong.

In the evening, a dirty and dumb beggar came to the store, took out a letter, and ran out.

There was no word on the envelope, and there was a note inside: If you want the Qin woman to live, you must prepare three thousand taels of silver within one day.

There is no signature, nor does it say where the money was sent.

In the afternoon, Qin Nu's horse ran back by itself, he didn't care at that time, the horses in the drunken wind building all know the way, if there is something inconvenient to come back halfway, just let the horses go, they will come back by themselves.

But now that he received this blackmail letter, he realized that the situation was serious and immediately reported it to the county magistrate.

Zhang Zhengmin has been in a good mood in the past two days, Shumin's two crops of rice are growing well, and in the morning he received the news of the second brother Zhengshun, saying that he has successfully raised seedlings, if it is now promoted to the villages, the entire Linjiang County will have time to cultivate two crops of rice, so that this year's taxes have been guaranteed, and the lives of farmers have been guaranteed, what is more exciting news than this?

He plans to join forces with Li Zheng in a township to visit the experimental field in three days, and when everyone sees the green and vigorous seedlings, they will have a bottom in their hearts, and they can also dispel everyone's concerns when they are promoted.

It's just that when the time comes, it is necessary for Shumin to be present to explain, otherwise, everyone may not be completely convinced!

Thinking of this, Zhengmin smiled, and unconsciously, this Qin woman's reputation among the people was much higher than that of him, the county lord.

But he won't be jealous, everything he does today also depends on Shu Min, if Shu Min has something, he will definitely go all out to help her as soon as Lao Lizheng taught.

This is also the reason why he believes in her so much and wants to help her promote the two crops of rice in the first place.

But in the evening, the shopkeeper Zhang found himself with a blackmail letter, which clearly stated that the kidnappers demanded 3,000 taels of silver, otherwise Shumin would be in danger.

Subconsciously, he immediately sent the officials to arrest the head, wanting to search for Shu Min's whereabouts, but fortunately, the shopkeeper Zhang stopped him and said, "Although the kidnappers did not say that they should not report to the officials, we searched for fear that they would be angry and embarrassed, which would be unfavorable to the Qin women." The kidnappers didn't say where to hand over the ticket, and it is estimated that they will send a letter in the future, so let's wait patiently for their second letter. ”

"Thank you for the reminder." Jeongmin immediately calmed down as soon as he raised the point, but he ordered an increase in the manpower of the city gate and carefully counted the population entering and leaving the city gate. If there is a suspicious person, you can take it back to the yamen for interrogation without asking the reason. (To be continued.) )
