Chapter Ninety-Six: Hooked
It's past noon now, and it's been four hours since Sun Yunxi was tied up, if you don't hurry up, it's really too late, those bandits are not vegetarians.
Lin Mo was just about to leave when he left the county office, but was stopped by Zhao Pu, "Lin Mo, what are you going to do next?" ”
Lin Mo thought for a while and said, "I can't wait now, I can't wait here, otherwise Sun Yunxi and those girls won't have to be tortured."
"You're going to go and get them on your own?" Lin Mo nodded, now he didn't know how to save it, but he couldn't sit still.
Zhao Pu looked at Lin Mo's determined expression, thought about it, sighed, and said, "That's it, you wait at the city gate first, and I'll call some brothers to help you." Lin Mo looked at Zhao Pu in surprise and said, "Zhao Zhutou, I'm afraid the county magistrate won't agree."
Zhao Pu said with a smile: "I'll change shifts later, I'll be fine, and I won't care if I go to find some brothers to go to the suburbs of Qingdao County." Lin Mo was very moved when he heard this, and bowed to Zhao Pu solemnly, and went to make some preparations without talking nonsense.
Lin Mo first went to Ma's house to borrow a horse, Lin Mo wanted to buy a horse by himself, but the horse market has closed, most of the city is ox carts, it takes time to find a horse, Lin Mo can't afford to delay the most, so he has to borrow a horse, only the Ma family Lin Mo is the most familiar in this city, and it is estimated that his family can lend Lin Mo a good horse.
Steward Zhang asked Lin Mo what he wanted the horse to do, and Lin Mo only said that it was a camel and that he would return it to him when he was finished, but Lin Mo didn't know if he could return it in his heart. Then Lin Mo bought a small bag of things to put on the horse's back, and bought a kettle made of cowhide to pin to his waist, everything was ready, Lin Mo led the horse to the city gate.
At this time, there were probably more than a dozen officials gathered at the door, led by Zhao Pu, Lin Mo saw this and bowed his hand to everyone to show his gratitude, after all, this is a matter of life, those officials just smiled, asked Lin Mo not to see outside, said that he was just here to help Zhao Pu support the scene, Lin Mo told everyone that if he succeeded, he would not treat everyone badly. Zhao Pu asked Lin Mo not to see outside, and when he saw Lin Mo leading a horse, he asked curiously, "Lin Mo, what are you doing with the horse?"
Lin Mo said: "I have a way, but I have to rely on this horse." Then Lin Mo revealed his plan and discernment, Zhao Pu wanted to dissuade him, after all, this plan was too dangerous, but Lin Mo insisted on this, after all, now such a crisis can only be dangerous, Zhao Pu thought about it and had to agree.
Lin Mo went to the middleman's teahouse first, and saw the shopkeeper in the shop, so Lin Mo pretended to be panicked and came to the shopkeeper and said: "Shopkeeper, my brother fainted in the woods, I can't lift it alone, please help the shopkeeper together, I thank the shopkeeper here." As he spoke, he took out a penny from his sleeve and put it on the table.
When the shopkeeper saw the silver, his eyes immediately lit up, and he put the silver away without leaving a trace and said, "You should have helped, where is your brother?"
Seeing this, Lin Mo led the shopkeeper to the woods in the distance, at this time, a group of big men in the woods were waiting for the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper knew that he was about to run away when he saw this, and he was rushed forward by Zhao Pu to pick up the shopkeeper like a chicken. Shopkeeper's mouth
called: "Someone! Murder, come on! ”
Zhao Pu threw the shopkeeper to the ground and took out the knife on his waist and put it on the shopkeeper's neck, and the shopkeeper immediately quieted down, and shouted in his mouth: "A good man spares his life, I have an eighty old mother and a child waiting to be fed, please let the hero surround me with a dog's life."
Lin Mo asked coldly, "Where are the bandits in Daqing Mountain?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said in his mouth: "What do you say again, the little one can't understand it."
"It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin." Lin Mo glanced at Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu understood, and punched the shopkeeper on the door, the shopkeeper's eyes instantly flashed, blood flowed out of his nose, Zhao Pu wanted to fight again, the shopkeeper hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't fight, I said, I said I'll say anything." Zhao Pu glanced at him with disdain, thinking that he was a hard bone, but he thought that he was a soft egg.
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "The bandit of Daqingshan is now entrenched in a ruined temple, just ten miles away, but I don't know the specifics, every time I go to get it, a group of people will blindfold me and take me over."
Lin Mo nodded and asked, "How many people are there in that thief's den?" The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "There are about twenty people."
Lin Mo's heart was a little cold when he heard this, there were only a dozen people in his body, and they were all extremely vicious outlaws, if he went, it would be more than lucky.
Lin Mo looked at everyone, everyone understood what Lin Mo meant, and Zhao Pu also said: "If you want to leave now, you can go, we are still brothers, after all, we will lose our lives, in case you lose your lives, I can't explain to your father, mother, wife and children."
Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, but they didn't leave, and one of the officials smiled and said: "Zhao Zhutou, you don't shoot to death the most, why are you afraid now?" You're afraid, and your brothers will look down on you. As for his own life, he has done this business, and he has long pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers, and he has long been indifferent. ”
Zhao Pu's eyes turned red when he heard this, and Lin Mo bowed to everyone and thanked him, "If there is really anything missing, I will help you take care of your parents, wives and children, and I will treat them like relatives, please rest assured." ”
"Haha, with the words of the head of the Lin case, I want to die now, change my mother for a promising son, and change my child for a powerful father." One of the officials laughed. The other sneered: "Then you still want to change your girl's father-in-law?"
"Well, I'm not dead." In this relaxed atmosphere, Lin Mo and Zhao Pu dispelled the fear of death from their hearts, and then prepared to start their own plans.
The shopkeeper wanted to beg Lin Mo for them to let him go, but Lin Mo understood that letting him go was equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, if he reported that not only would he be in danger, but the people who were arrested would also be in danger, and even these thieves would go to find trouble in Zuihualou, so Mother Wang didn't want to get involved, and she would rather kill the shopkeeper than let him go. Zhao Pu naturally understood it, so they tied up the shopkeeper and tied a rope to him to prevent him from running away, and then let him lead the way.
Several people soon came to a remote path, and there was one on the side of the road
A towering pine tree, the shopkeeper stopped, and said, "I will wait for the bandits under this tree every time, but I have to put a stone under the tree the day before to mark it, and then the next day I will come back and the bandits will come here and take me away."
Lin Mo nodded after hearing this, and Zhao Pu asked, "What should I do next?" Put a stone now and come back tomorrow? Lin Mo shook his head, since he had already come, he couldn't go back like this, otherwise it would be really easy to make mistakes, and if he was detected by the bandits, it would be troublesome.
Lin Mo said: "You go to the distance and hide, I will be the bait here, lure the group of bandits over, and then act according to the plan." Zhao Pu nodded when he heard this, told Lin Mo to be careful, and then left with everyone, the shopkeeper still wanted to struggle but was knocked out by Zhao Pu with a knife and carried away.
When Zhao Pu and the others disappeared, Lin Mo led the horse back and forth in this area, and in order to increase the attraction, Lin Mo also pinned a copper bell to the horse.
But there was no movement for a long time, Lin Mo was a little anxious, so he had a plan, lying down under the pine tree to rest, and singing the mountain song of his previous life in his mouth.
"When you go into the mountain, you see the vines wrapped around the trees, and when you go out of the mountains, you see the trees wrapped around the vines; The tree dies and the vine is entangled to death, and the vine dies and the tree is also entangled in life and death......"
Sure enough, after singing for a while, Lin Mo heard a sound of horses' hooves. Lin Mo looked from afar, a fat man and a thin man in the single room rode towards Lin Mo, and Lin Mo knew at a glance that this was the fat three and the monkey that Wang's mother said.
The two looked for the voice, and the two saw a person lying under a tree singing a tune they didn't understand, and the two didn't want to pay attention to it, after all, they had something to do today, but when they saw the horse next to Lin Mo, they couldn't help but admire: "Good horse, authentic green-maned horse."
Lin Mo heard the sound and knew that the fish had been hooked, so he got up and led the horse to leave, the two immediately dismounted to block Lin Mo's way, and the fat man asked, "Where are you going, little brother?" Lin Mo pretended to be impatient and said, "Go to Chennan and go to relatives and friends."
"Oh, I'm very close to my brother today, why don't I come and sit with me for a while, and I'll talk about it." Lin Mo shook his head and said, "No, I still have to hurry up, my horse is also rested, and I am about to set off." As he spoke, he was about to lead the horse and leave.
The fat man's face turned vicious, and he looked at Lin Mo fiercely and said, "You don't want to give you a good face, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless." The monkey slaughtered him and led the horse back. ”
As soon as the thin man on the side heard this, he pulled out a knife from his waist and was about to kill Lin Mo, Lin Mo was also shocked, and Zhao Pu in the distance was about to step forward to save Lin Mo when he saw this, but he was held down by the officials on the side.
"Don't worry about Zhao Zhutou, and see how the head of the Lin case responds."
Lin Mo was also a little panicked at this time, he didn't expect this thief to be so direct, and he said in a panic with a flash of inspiration in his mind: "What are you doing?" My uncle is an outsider in Qiannan, and his family is rich and powerful, if you dare to touch me, my uncle will definitely not let you have good fruits to eat. ”
A trace of surprise flashed on the fat man's face when he heard this, and then he looked at Lin Mo playfully and said: "Don't touch him, the monkey didn't expect to be a fat sheep, take him back, hand him over to the big boss, and then slaughter him after making a fortune from him."
"Skinny one
Hearing this, he tied up Lin Mo before. "What's in this bag?" The fat man asked, and Lin Mo replied in a panic: "It's a chaff for the horse to eat, you let me go quickly, otherwise my uncle won't spare you."
The fat man mocked: "Hmph, he is about to die and is so ashamed, the thin man blindfolded him, threw him on horseback and carried him to the cottage."
The thin man blindfolded Lin Mo, and then the fat man threw Lin Mo onto the horse, "You give me honesty, if I mess around, I will stab you." When Lin Mo heard this, he immediately lay on the horse's back motionlessly.
