Cuixianglou was smashed, smashed to a pulp, and the old bustard and several nursing homes were beaten to death.

The fox girl who hooked the soul of the fourth son of the Wu family was stabbed several times on his face, and he may not have the face to see people in the future.

The Wu family was angry, but it didn't help the disappearance of the fourth son, they turned the entire Jingle County upside down, and they didn't find Wu Qilin.

Wu Qilin's bodyguard was found in the vegetable field, and when he found the person, he was already out of gas, and the coachman was also there, but he was still angry, but he had a big bag on the back of his head.

According to the coachman, he was waiting for the fourth son with the guards at the back door of the Cuixiang Building, and several hungry people suddenly came around to ask them for money, and the guards drew knives to scare the hungry people, at this time a hungry man suddenly stabbed the guards in the back from behind, and the blood rushed out like arrows.

From this, the people of the Wu family concluded that the fourth prince was robbed.

Some people say that last night I saw the carriage of the fourth prince going in the direction of the south gate, and then Chen Congzhi, the master of Lord He of the county, came, saying that last night there were two officials guarding the city gate who ran away with their families and fine softness, and it was likely that they were bought by thieves with a lot of money, and opened the city gate to let the thieves take the four princes hostage, and then fled with their families overnight.

The Wu family hurriedly sent people out of the south gate to search, and sure enough, the Wu family's carriage was found on the side of the road, while the fourth prince and the horses pulling the carriage were missing.

Wu Yongqian Master Wu is not yet half a hundred, but his body bones are not as good as day by day, some time ago when the second lady had an affair with Luo Wentian's disciple, Master Wu was so angry that he fell seriously ill, and since then his body bones are not as good as before.

As soon as he heard that the fourth prince was robbed by thieves, Master Wu fainted on the spot.

He has a total of five sons, the third son and the fifth son died early, the eldest son Wu Qizheng is shrewd and business-oriented, is the best candidate to inherit the family business, the second son Wu Qiding is brilliant and discerning, and entered the Jin Wangfu Governor's Department of Trial, which can be described as a smooth career.

Only the four sons are idle and don't learn and have no skills, and they can't do anything in politics and business.

But Master Wu's favorite thing is this unlearned and unskilled loser, not only because Wu Qilin was well-behaved and likable when he was a child, but also very filial when he grew up, and he was good at pleasing Master Wu.

is also because, among the five sons, Wu Qilin is the only one who looks like Master Wu, and at first glance he is his own son.

The first thing Master Wu Yongqian Wu did when he woke up was to gather his family and discuss how to rescue this precious son.

He knew that the person who kidnapped his son was the chief steward of Mengjiazhuang, Qin Chuan.

There is no other reason, it is because he and several other families are preparing to join forces to attack Mengjiazhuang.

Before he could discuss the reason, the porter suddenly came in with a letter trembling, saying that he had just picked it up outside the door.

Wu Yongqian took the letter and looked at it, only to see that it read: "If you want to redeem the fourth son, bring 1,000 stone of grain to Tieshigou Mountain within three days, and hand over the grain with one hand and the other hand." ”

Wu Yongqian breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party asked for food, indicating that the other party wanted money and did not want to die, at least his son was not dead, and there was still hope for redemption.

For him, a thousand stone of grain is not much.

Even if Wu Yongqian decided to cancel the cooperation with those families, he couldn't risk pushing his son to a dead end, and he couldn't fight Mengjiazhuang.

Just as he was about to send someone to inform the other families, the porter came again, and this time brought in two letters, one from the Zhang family in Lan County, and the other from the Hu family in Dongcun, Lan County.

The content of the two letters is that the eldest son of the Zhang family was robbed, and the other party asked for a thousand stones of grain, and the old man of the Hu family was robbed, and the other party asked for a thousand stones of grain.

After reading these two letters, Wu Yongqian shook his head and sighed.

They underestimated the surname Qin.

That guy is fast, ruthless, accurate, and bold, and reckless, and it is difficult for ordinary people to fight him.

Now, the Wu family, the Du family, and the Zhang Hu family in Lan County are all in his hands, and he has pinched the doorway, and there is no other way than to obediently send food to him.

Now, that's all it can be.

Wu Yongqian hurriedly ordered someone to prepare food, and at this time, Du Youliang and Fan San went to Wu's house.

When these two young and promising sons heard that the fourth son of the Wu family had been robbed, one of his faces changed greatly, and the other sighed helplessly.

Wu Yongqian handed over the letter from the Zhang and Hu families to them, and after reading the letter, the two sons were even more stunned and speechless for a long time.

Wu Yongqian also sighed, and said helplessly: "Du Gongzi, the old decay is now difficult to protect itself, please forgive the old decay for the affairs of the Du family, I can't help, I suggest that Du Gongzi should go back quickly to prepare food, ship it south, and redeem Ling Zun, otherwise once the deadline passes, I am afraid that the thieves will poison him." ”

"As for the thief surnamed Qin, after all the hostages are redeemed, it is not too late to join forces to eradicate Mengjiazhuang."

Du Youliang suddenly woke up, and after talking to Fan Sanpo in a low voice, the two hurriedly said goodbye and left.

There is only one day left before the three-day deadline.

At noon that day, Du Youliang dismissed the 300 people he had temporarily recruited, and only used his mother's 500 hungry people to carry 2,000 stone of grain out of the south gate and go straight to Lou Fu Town.

Fan Sanpao took his own 300 guards and Du Youliang to press the formation with the team, fearing that those hungry people would suddenly rebel and rob the grain.

In addition, Du Youliang also sent a fast horse to Lou Fu to deliver a letter, saying that the grain was already on the way, but the distance was far and the march was slow, and he asked the chief steward of Qin to give him another half a day.

At the same time, the Zhangjia family in Lanxian County and the Hu family in Dongcun were also in full swing to load grain.

They were also asked for a thousand stone of grain per family.

……

In Chijian Ridge, a hundred miles northwest of Loufu, a convoy of mules and horses was slowly climbing up the long hillside, led by a sturdy middle-aged man with a square face and long beard, and a dozen injured men were sitting or lying on several donkey carts behind him, and dozens of carts behind him were full of grain, cloth, silver, and other property.

Fengjia Village on Chijian Ridge was filled with joy, and hundreds of villagers ran down the gentle slope with both anticipation and joy to meet the convoy.

"Big brother."

A sturdy boy of fourteen or fifteen years old took the lead and rode a horse.

When he got closer, the long-bearded man leaned out, rubbed the young man's head, and asked with a smile, "Are you okay at home?" ”

The young man cracked his mouth: "Okay, there's nothing going on in the village, it's just that my mother is talking about the eldest brother all day long." ”

"Little Thirteen, did you kid slip down the mountain again, worrying your mother?" Another man in the back took over.

"No, during the time you left, I patrolled the head and end of the village every day, and I didn't go anywhere."

"You went to the end of the village to peek at the little girl taking a bath."

When the words fell, a group of men laughed.

"You talk nonsense!"

The young man blushed, and simply turned his face away to ignore the men, and only asked the long-bearded man, "Big brother, how is the harvest of this transaction?" ”

The long-bearded man stroked his beard and smiled: "Eight hundred stone of grain, one thousand seven hundred taels of silver, more than sixty pieces of cloth, and more than three hundred cattle, sheep and horses." ”

The young man suddenly became excited: "It's a lot, big brother, when will you take me out to do business?" ”

"Our kind of business is not a joke, you are still young, wait for you to be older first, this time your fifth brother lost an arm, and your seventh brother is still lying in the car and has not woken up."

"Big brother, I'm already fourteen, and even Feng Erzhuang is not my opponent, where is it small, take me there."

"Wait until you win the battle, your eleventh brother."

"I ...... That's right, big brother, let's go on the next trip to rob Lou Fu Mengjiazhuang, during the time you left, a new person came to Lou Fu that place, first destroyed the Meng family, and then beat the Bashan Tiger to the ground, and finally provoked several groups of people, enough tens of thousands of people, I didn't expect to fight back and forth or the newcomer won, and now there are at least tens of thousands of stone grain in Mengjiazhuang. ”

"A few days ago, the newcomer also tied up the Du family's thirty young and strong, and asked for two thousand stone of grain, and the day before yesterday, the Hu master of the Hu family in Dongcun also sent someone up the mountain, asking us to send three hundred people to join forces with them to fight Mengjiazhuang, when the time comes, we will take one percent, I saw that the eldest brother was not there, so I didn't agree."

"Oh?" The long-bearded man raised his eyebrows, "Lou is annoying, a new arrival?" Tell me, what's going on? ”

"Hey, big brother, that's a new arrival......"

The young man's eyebrows fluttered, and he told the story of Lou Annoyance in the past month.

After listening to his words, the long-bearded man squinted his eyes and looked fixedly in the direction of Lou Fu.

"It's kind of interesting."
