At noon the next day, the situation changed again, or the news that the boss Xiaoyunwen came over, saying that people were transported from Bancheng not long after a group of people robbed them, it is estimated that it is the remnants of the Agubai gang, afraid that people are cheated to death, so they deliberately set up an ambush on the road back to Suzhou at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and the ambush of more than 200 people is not counting the blood of the nest, and the Qing Dynasty did not expect that the dead people also wanted to rob, and they were unprepared, so they were killed.

After snatching it out and transporting it to Zhanghua, after the Qing Dynasty traitor in the gang carefully checked the authenticity, Agu Bai released a word and asked the Qing Dynasty to take 80,000 taels of silver to ransom. 80,000 ransom for a living person is almost the same, the people are gone, and what is left is just an empty shell, is there any practical use for redeeming it? Not to mention that the Qing Dynasty's treasury is empty, and the hand is very tight, and there is another layer, 80,000 taels of silver are given, which is equivalent to the Qing Dynasty giving money to this gang of bandits to put food and wages, and with money, food and drink, these things will make a comeback immediately. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty spoke at that time, the money could not be given, we would not redeem the people, and the labor side was wrapped up and sent well, if there was no money, we could pay a few hundred taels of silver as a fee.

Everyone thinks it's a bastard to do this, but the emperor has to consider it from the perspective of his family and country, and he can't act on his own selfish will.

Seeing that Qing Chao was not threatened, Agu Bai's side simply set fire to it and threw the ashes on the spot. There are no real bones left. The Western Regions are thousands of miles away from the imperial capital, and it will be a few days before the news really comes back.

Liao Qiuli nested in the room for two days, and came out early on the third day, found Liao Yungong, and asked him:

"Third brother, how much silver is there here at Liaojiataikou?"

"What? Do you want to use it? ”

"Hmm."

"How much?"

"Eighty thousand taels."

"Shhh Tell me what you're going to do! Wait a minute, don't you think about it...... Go redeem it."

"Hmm."

"Fifth brother, this matter is not easy to do, the third brother will tell you the truth, the Liao family can't say that the 80,000 silver can't be taken out, but the emperor has spoken, don't redeem, if you cross the family and country and redeem it privately, it won't be appropriate......"

"The righteousness of the family and the country is what you said, you are saints, I am just an ordinary man, narrow-minded, I can't fit something as big as my family and country, I want him to go home...... He has lived a miserable life in this life, and it is so difficult to ask for anything, if he is put in a foreign land again...... I'm afraid he'll get lost and won't be able to find his way home......"

In just three days, the fifth child has lost a lot of weight, and the area around his eyes is red, because the red is too strange, and his face has no human color.

"You can think like this, it shows that you have affection, but the gang of bandits in the Western Regions is different, those are not human, they are objects that kill people and set fires, 80,000 silver will be redeemed and not redeemed, and it is another thing to say, there is an eighty percent chance that the meat buns and dogs have gone and there is no return, and the wealth is small, if someone does something again, it is even worse, right?"

"Third brother, I understand the reason, but my heart hurts so much that I can't stand it, if I don't do something, I can't get through it......"

“…… Okay, I'll prepare money for you, and I'll have to find someone to tie you up over there, and you have to say in advance how to redeem it, can you wait another day or two? Liao Yungong knew that the redemption would definitely not be redeemed, and he went to contact the bandits without telling the court, and if he didn't get it right, he would collaborate with the enemy and commit treason.

Liao Qiuli knew that his third brother was not easy to do, and it would take time to open up the joints, so he said "hmm" lightly and went back to the room. His bedroom is a tortoise shell, which he can shrink in to hide from "things outside the window", and he can make up some hopes for himself - maybe the person is still there, maybe he is mistaken, maybe the person is making a show......

It wasn't until the news came that the man had been burned to ashes and scattered in the dust that the tortoise's shell cracked through several cracks.

The third child of the Liao family was already very careful when he spoke, but no matter how careful he was, he had to convey the meaning, and he had to let him understand such a truth - he didn't even have to redeem it, it had become a handful of ashes scattered into the dust, what else to redeem.

The news is worse than the other, and the other is more fierce than the other, Liao Qiuli has long been grinded into wood, and it is useless to hide in the turtle shell, so he came out, forced a bowl of gruel, and went to Ju'er Hutong after resting for a while. The man gave him a key to the door, and when he gave it, he was full of immodest filthy words: "If you miss me, come to the door yourself, and sleep in bed for a while, and you may see me when you open your eyes." ”。“ If you're here, don't expect me to show mercy, hehe. ”

Open the door and go in, no one. Lie on the bed, close your eyes, and wait for the person or soul to return, and you will not see it. Lie down without eating or drinking for a day, and lie down until the time of the lamp, and the house is dark, and it is still gone.

Deceptive.

Liao Qiuli got up and sat stupidly for a while, about to leave, but at this time there was a noise outside. The sound of the key touching the lock spring. Liao Qiuli tensed up for a moment, not only his heart was tense, but even his scalp and toes were tense, he didn't dare to go out to see what was going on, he didn't even have the strength to get out of bed, so he could only tense up and wait for the person who opened the door to find the inner room by himself, waiting for him to come and say to him: "Scared, right?" Let's see if you dare to put a cold face on me in the future! Then he greeted him woodenly, stomped on his feet, crushed a few times, and then sarcastically mocked him when he was in pain and inhaled the cool air, "Isn't it very enduring, what is this little pain!", it is indispensable to train him, I don't know if I can shed tears, the man does not flick if he has tears, it is a big luck to lose and recover, and it is also a sad place, and it is not hypocritical to drop a few golden beans.

"How can it be you!"

As soon as the person opened his mouth, the big luck collapsed, and there was only a sad place, he stared blankly at the person approaching, this is a thin old man, and the person who is in a good time is not the same thing at all, and he can't be confused if he wants to. He also thought that the people who were originally not many in this family had dispersed, but he didn't expect them to come back to this ownerless home.

"Why don't you light the lights when you come? I was startled by the sudden appearance of a man in the dark room! The old man wiped the fire sickle on one wall and turned on the lamp, and the other wall muttered that he was here for what he was doing, "Today is the seventh head of the main family, come and burn incense for him...... He treats us well, and we can't be ungrateful. Two days ago, there was a decree that a few of us should continue to take care of this small courtyard, come and clean it every day, and be sure to keep it clean, just like when the main family was there, although the saint does not allow people to redeem people, but it is involuntarily, in fact, there is still a favor, otherwise we will not pay for us to stay here to do work, I guess I also want to leave a little thought......"

The first seven? Whose?

"Oh! Yes! There is still a letter left for you in the main house, which is stored in the first compartment of the bedside table, go and open it! Look at my memory, I almost made a mistake! ”

And a letter for him?

What else can you write, isn't it just a mountain alliance vow to wait for him to come back, or just in case, in case he doesn't return, let him forget him or don't forget him. The most unbearable thing in the world is this kind of Rannuo who only has a piece of paper left, and even people don't know where they have gone. What use does it seem?

"No, just come and take a look, I'll be back."

The old man snorted and persuaded him two sentences, which was nothing more than "there must be special news in the letter, it is better to take a look", he thanked him for his kindness, and said that it was better not to read it, so as not to make him sad.

It's time to clean up and tidy up, and since you can't wipe your neck and go with him, you have to fold up all the bits and pieces about this person, pile them up in a corner that will never be lightly touched, don't look at the scenery you have seen with that person, don't drink the tea that person has given, don't walk the road you have walked with that person, don't think about the things that the person has mentioned, and don't even eat the food that you have eaten with that person.

However, Dijing is full of scenes that he has seen with that person, and everywhere is the road that the two of them are used to, and you can see the things that the person mentioned when you raise your eyes casually, and the usual mushroom and shrimp stuffed wonton makes him unable to swallow it, no matter how you clean it up, it will still be scattered, and no matter how you clean it up, you can't make a burden.

He wanted to go to the Western Regions. The war in the Western Regions has passed for more than a month, no matter how big the chaos is, there will be a moment of stop, from Suzhou to the west, across the relatively peaceful northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, to Anzi, not far from the forest, where the Western Regions protect the yamen, equivalent to the state of the states, the prosperity is not under any big city in the Central Plains, the Liao family also set up a general platform, just go there, the place of birth, even the food is different, completely different customs, the most suitable for a person who touches the scene to clean up the mood.

I went there at the beginning of July that year, and now I have been there for more than two years. Accustomed to it, Liao Qiuli can't say it, but the water and soil are already served, and he is used to eating naan as a staple food, and he is used to eating the mutton with a strong fishy smell, and he is used to drinking black tea in goat's milk, and he is also used to painting houses day and night. It's good, he finally cleaned up the qiē related to that person from the surface into a baggage, picked it up and walked down slowly.

The person in charge of the branch of the Liao family in the Western Regions is Mr. Zhao, the name Zhao Zhongming, and few people can tell the origin clearly, only knowing that the Liao family from Liao Shixiang to Liao Yungong is very respectful to him, and calls him "Mr.", his dealings with the Liao family are not like the owner and his buddy, but like a friend who is reluctant to help. Liao Qiuli called him "Uncle Zhao" or "Mr. Zhao", and he called Liao Qiuli "Five Youths" or "Qingzhi".

When he first arrived in Anz more than two years ago, he was as thin as a mast, and the clothes he wore on his body were like sails, and the western regions were unobstructed, and the wind blew the robe back, and it was so bulging that it was almost impossible to see from the front, it was a shelf with a little bit of meat, and if it was any stronger, he would have to pull the railing on the side of the house to stand firmly. Mr. Zhao saw that he was suddenly thin, he just shook his head and sighed, never asked much, but according to his experience, he can roughly guess that eight/nine is not far from ten, emotional injuries are the most consuming, not ordinary emotional injuries, it has to be the kind of dead and alive, and it can't grow even branches than winged birds, so he exiled himself to Anzi, who was unfamiliar with his life, and boiled alone.
