"This is there?" After Ran Qiunian stood still, he realized that they had already arrived at the place.

Li Er had already sneaked out of Feng's house and was about to see his seriously ill mother. We'll be in this alley, and we'll be able to wait for him. ”

Xiao Yin thought that Ran Qiunian was wondering why they stopped in this alley, so he explained two sentences.

Ran Qiunian couldn't help but be a little speechless, no wonder the eldest brother said that the time was just right, with such a magical kung fu, it was not a moment to go anywhere.

"I see......" Ran Qiunian was about to say something, when he heard some unusual sounds coming from the mouth of the alley.

"Someone's coming." Ran Qiunian whispered.

Xiao Yin had already found out, but he was not prepared to dodge, because he had already heard the identity of the person who came, and it was their target tonight - Li Er, the partner of the Feng family's caravan.

"It's Li Er." After he finished speaking, he stepped forward, protected Ran Qiunian behind him, and as soon as he raised his hand, the guards who secretly followed Li Eryi appeared to trap the person, gagged him, and twisted to Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin.

Li Er's eyes were full of panic and struggled, and a faint whining sound came out of his mouth, making it impossible to guess what he wanted to express.

"Li Er, don't worry, we just want to ask you something, if what you say satisfies us, we will not only let you leave peacefully, but also give you a large sum of silver, which is enough for you to cure your seriously ill mother. If you dare to hide something......"

Ran Qiunian's gloomy tone stopped here and did not continue, but the punishments left for Li Er's own random speculation were the ones that frightened him the most.

"Mmmmmm Li Er was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he nodded desperately, if it weren't for the guard behind him carrying Li Er's back collar, I was afraid that everyone would be in a mess.

It seems that she expected it to be right, this Li Er is really a good starter, Ran Qiunian squinted her eyes, they were all hidden in the dark, and no one could see anyone clearly, which also happened to create a more mysterious veil for Ran Qiunian.

"Now I let go of your mouth, I ask you to answer, you must not yell and scream, or your life will not be saved. Did you hear that? When I understood it, I blinked three times. ”

Ran Qiunian threatened, that Li Er was frightened, and after hearing Ran Qiunian's words, he immediately blinked his eyes desperately, and the speed was almost like blinking his eyes.

"I said three blinks, how many times are you?"

Ran Qiunian kicked over without pity, she had little strength, and it didn't hurt to kick the thick-skinned man, but Li Er was already frightened and lost her mind at this time, and she didn't notice these at all, but was even more frightened by the robbers' uncertainties.

For the guy in front of her, who was likely to hurt her brother, Ran Qiunian didn't mean to show mercy to her subordinates, and threatened viciously twice, seeing that the unlucky ghost trembled and began to blink again, three times, no more, no less, extremely hard.

Only then did she signal the guard to let go of Li Er's mouth, Li Er was intimidated by Ran Qiunian three times and twice, and he had long lost the heart to resist, and firmly remembered that he couldn't make a lot of noise after being let go, although he was still scared, he really didn't shout.

"Okay, let me ask you, how happened to the relative I sent to Splendid City a few days ago with the help of your caravan? Why don't people see it in the place they said it was good? ”

Ran Qiunian directly impersonated Zhang Shulin's identity, the two were of the same age, and the night was dark, this big man was so frightened that he couldn't notice the difference between the two at all.

"I don't know." Li Er's face turned white and he stammered.

"You are lying, someone in the caravan saw it, that is, you saw that you wanted to harm people when you saw money, and you still didn't admit it?" Ran Qiunian learned his lesson, and this time he didn't do it himself, but motioned to the guard, and punched Li Er firmly in the stomach.

"He farted," Li Er's stomach hurt, and he couldn't help curling up, but he couldn't do it by being dragged by the robbers behind him, he could only endure the pain and excitedly argued, "Is it Wang Asan that bastard said Lao Tzu...... Hmmm! ”

"Keep your mouth clean."

This time, it was Xiao Yin who made a move, and looked coldly at Li Er, who was blocked back in his stomach because his mouth was covered and his screams were all blocked.

Li Er nodded again and again, and when he spoke, he was a lot more cautious: "A few masters, I really didn't hurt anyone, I have an impression of the person you said, I have an impression." ”

"It's Wang Asan, it's he who said that the sick and crooked boy is the young owner of the Ran family, and he wants to tie people up and send them back to the master's house to invite merit. I didn't believe it. Later, the caravan encountered a group of mountain bandits halfway, and he took advantage of the chaos to run away, and he was also stabbed, and we were in a hurry to get rid of the mountain bandits, and we could not care about looking for people, so we could only leave people behind. ”

What Li Er didn't dare to say was that that place was close to Shuzhong, and there were often poisonous insects and beasts, and that person was stabbed by a mountain bandit, and he would definitely not live long, so they took the waist left by the kid and went to the master's house to ask for credit.

But Ran Qiunian could guess the thrill of this, and suddenly hated it and kicked it.

"Wait." Xiao Yin stopped the angry Ran Qiunian and asked Li Er, who was trembling, "Where did you leave people?" How many days have passed? What was his state then? ”

"Just out of Lingzhou City for only one day, I went to the top of Yuzhen Mountain. The man didn't know what kind of illness he had, he woke up after falling asleep for most of the day, and the whole person was crooked, and he couldn't even walk a few steps. ”

It's weird that he can still run away like this. This is something that all the caravan guys, including Li Er, have never figured out.

It should be that Zhang Shaoxian's medicine has not yet passed, Ran Qiu thought about it, but he became more worried about Ran Qiubai's situation.

"Okay, I know everything you need to know, I have my own way to verify whether what you say is true or false, if you dare to have a trace of lies."

Ran Qiu said in a cold voice, thought about it, took out a pill from his sleeve, and asked the guard to feed Li Er.

"It's a poison that strikes once a month, and when it happens, it hurts people like a knife, and after three attacks, all the internal organs of the person will turn into a pool of blood, and they will die of pain. If you dare to talk about this matter everywhere when you go back, just wait for the poison to die. ”

"Uncle, uncles, didn't you say that as long as I tell the truth, you will let me go? I'm telling the truth, and I swear I'll never talk nonsense. ”

Li Er shook his legs and pleaded.

Ran Qiunian was unmoved: "What you said is true or false, it still needs to be verified, if we find someone, you will naturally be fine, if you don't find it, you will wait to bury my relative." ”

"You can do it, don't poison me, I have a seriously ill old mother to take care of, and I can't die."

Xu knew that it was useless to beg for mercy, so Li Er could only say viciously: "The god-killing Wang Ah San, if he has to earn that black money, why can he be safe and sound, and I will be poisoned?" Wang Asan is the culprit, if he hadn't framed your relative as the young owner of the Ran family, your relative would have been fine at all. ”

Li Er only hoped that he could pull a few more people into the water at this time, and no one wanted to be alone.

"Hey, one counts as one, and no one wants to escape. Of course, if you are willing to provide a few more principals, I don't mind having them share the pain of the poison for you. ”

Ran Qiunian sneered, his tone was still cold, but he was a little tempting.

"I'm willing, I'm willing to send you a message, I also know several people involved in this matter, if you can trust me, I can help you trick those people out so that you can do things."

Li Er said this, but Shang Ran Qiunian decided to beat people up after asking a lot of thoughts at the beginning, and he might be able to use it if he kept it, thinking like this, Ran Qiunian nodded, and asked the guards to take the person to a farther place and let him go.

When everyone left, Xiao Yin asked with a faint doubt, "When did you have such a powerful poison?" ”

"I only had it just now, if the big brother wants it, Nian'er can make up a few for you."

Ran Qiunian blinked, and that innocent appearance made Xiao Yin a little crying and laughing, so he got back to business.

"On the road at the top of the mountain in Yuzhen, on the way back, our convoy also passed through that place, but we didn't find anything, and most of Qiubai was no longer there."

Xiao Yin's expression was solemn, and he finally asked some clues, but he was afraid that he would be broken there again. But no matter what, he still had to try his best, and although he knew that there was little hope, he sent people to search all night along the way.

At the same time, waves of unsettled waves arose, and here just sorted out a thought in Ran Qiubai's matter, and over there, the convoy disguised as an ordinary caravan escorted by Qi Ruoyun also had an accident.

"What does it mean that the convoy encountered mountain bandits, Zhang Shulin's whereabouts are unknown, and all the goods in the convoy were detained by local state officials who rushed to reinforce them?"

Ran Qiunian almost couldn't believe his ears, the convoy was immediately filled with a serious imperial relative, which state official was so bold that he dared to detain Qi Ruoyun's convoy?

"It is said that he is the son-in-law of Mrs. Lin, and he has always been known for his uprightness, so if it is him, it is not surprising."

Xiao Yin was a little helpless, who knew that their luck was so bad, they met a mountain bandit in that person's territory, and he happened to find the iron ore in the convoy.

Now that this matter has been stirred up, I'm afraid that the plan they originally set will not be counted. It's a shame that such a good opportunity.

"Isn't Qi Ruoyun already playing the emperor? This state lord really doesn't give anyone face. ”

Ran Qiunian didn't know whether to admire his integrity, or sympathize with Qi Ruoyun, who was detained and investigated together, fortunately, the iron ore had been filed in Lingzhou City, and he also sent a letter to the emperor, otherwise it would really give Qi Ruoyun a headache this time.

"Most of them haven't confirmed this matter with the emperor yet, and with the prudence of that adult, he won't believe the little grandfather's words. I'm afraid he's going to be held there for a few days. ”

Listening to Xiao Yin's somewhat complicated words, Ran Qiunian didn't know what to say.

"What about Zhang Shulin?" Ran Qiunian asked hesitantly.

"The men I sent to protect him haven't sent a message back yet, most of them are with Zhang Shulin, so there is no need to worry too much about his safety."

At this time, I can only be glad that I left a hand that day, otherwise it is really hard to say whether Zhang Shulin's fate at this time was a different place where he was killed by the "mountain bandits" a long time ago.
