Chapter 246: Clever Tongue
Lin Mo continued: "So, this time and the previous disappearances of women were all done by this gang of bandits? Ding Xian nodded again and again, and Lin Mo then asked, "Then this Feng Gui's daughter was also kidnapped by this group?" ”
"Feng Gui?" Dingxian was a little puzzled, Lin Mo took out the prayer flag and said, "It's the one who took this prayer flag." Dingxian rolled his eyes and then said: "This person got the news of her daughter out of nowhere, came to investigate, was caught by the bandits, and then tortured, trying to ask if there was someone behind him, but he didn't say whether he was alive or dead, and finally he took the opportunity to run away, and when he took it, he also ripped away a prayer flag." Lin Mo listened and nodded, this was not much different from what he expected in his heart.
"Are all the captured women still alive?" Lin Mo felt a little remorseful when he asked this question, because he already had the answer in his heart, and those women were afraid that something had happened to them.
Sure enough, Dingxian's face changed, and he said: "Those women were ruined by these bandits, and they all committed suicide, and Feng Gui's daughter was the most strong, after escaping from the bandits, she jumped off the cliff and fell to her death, and her body was eaten by the beasts in the mountain." After listening to Dingxian's narration, Lin Mo's eyes were full of anger, but he still kept reminding himself to calm down, while Zhao Pu on the side couldn't bear it anymore, his eyes burst out with a murderous gaze, and he drew his saber to attack Dingxian.
In his opinion, this Dingxian is an accomplice of the bandits, even more hateful than the bandits, she can obviously report to the government to let the government exterminate these bandits, so that those poor women can avoid misfortune, but she stands by and watches, even if it is to protect herself, she can't help the abuse like this, such a person should be killed.
Although the officials next to him were all angry, eager to kill this idle to vent their hatred, they still calmed down and immediately stepped forward to stop the angry Zhao Pu.
Lin Mo asked coldly, "How many bandits are here?" As soon as Ding Xian heard that he had a plan in his heart, he said, "There are nearly twenty people." ”
"Nonsense, there are twenty people outside this cave, how can there be twenty people who go to Yunzhou." Zhao Pu said angrily.
Dingxian's face changed when she heard this, she originally wanted these people to think that there were few bandits, and then encourage them to exterminate the bandits, and after they all went, they were exterminated by the bandits in the cave, so as to kill two birds with one stone, not only to get herself out of danger, but also to eat all the people at once, and solve the crisis.
If it weren't for Lin Mo and their investigation in advance this time, they would really have been deceived by this leisure. Lin Mo said coldly: "It seems that you are determined to help this gang of bandits eat us." When Ding Xian heard this, his face immediately changed and begged for mercy: "Uncles, it's really not that I deliberately deceive you, there are really only more than 20 people in this bandit, and most of the others have all gone out, six or seven people went to get the ransom and left, more than a dozen people went to neighboring places to buy and sell stolen goods, more than a dozen people went to find the fat sheep who started nearby, and there were more than a dozen people who went home to visit relatives, and those who went to the city to drink flowers and wine, and there were only a small number of people left to guard this nest." Lin Mo said coldly when he heard this: "Oh? If so, this is a great time to exterminate the bandits. Ding Xian immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, these thieves are all imaginary, drinking and having fun, they are all hollowed out by the wine, if you go to exterminate the bandits, it is the best time." After listening to Dingxian's words, Lin Mo naturally didn't believe it,
"Such a good opportunity, why don't you run away." Zhang Xian on the side looked at Dingxian, with a suspicious look in his eyes, and asked directly to the point: "These thieves are leaving some wine bags and rice bags, if you want to leave, don't you leave, I invited you here, and I didn't see anyone stopping you." Ding Xian hurriedly said: "This is because my children were caught by this group of bandits, if I make any changes, they will be unfavorable to my son, so I cooperate with them so much, and they also know that I dare not make any small moves." Listening to this idle and clever defense, Lin Mo didn't take her words seriously for a long time, let people see that she was optimistic, and then came to the side with Zhao Pu and Zhang Xian to discuss countermeasures.
Lin Mo opened his mouth and said: "This gossip is true or false, but I am sure that there are definitely more than twenty thieves in this bandit, but from the use of this rice and noodles, there should be more than one white person, and we must hit the stone with an egg." Zhao Pu on the side nodded and agreed: "Yes, and these people are all burly and fierce from this shape, and they are definitely not some wine bag and rice bag gangsters, even if there are only twenty people, it will not be easy for us to deal with them." Lin Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Now we have to wait, one is to wait for reinforcements, and the other is to wait until night and dark to act, so that it can be beneficial to us." The three of them nodded, now they can only wait, they can't directly confront these bandits on impulse, otherwise the result will be absolutely unfavorable to Lin Mo's side.
On the other side, Na Ma Zheng came to Yunzhou Mansion, and at this time, Du Shaofu, Luo Ming and Ma Zhiyuan were all waiting for the ransom to be paid in the evening, and they were still waiting for Lin Mo's news.
Time passed minute by minute, and the three of them were like ants on a pot, but they still reminded themselves to be calmer. Du Shaofu said: "Brother Ma doesn't have to be so anxious, these bandits must be just a small handful of people, and now they have to divide people to get the ransom, there must not be many people in this guard, Lin Mo and more than 20 people will definitely be able to wipe them all out and rescue Miss Ma, he wiped out the lair of forty thieves at once last time, and even Hu Bi was killed, this time he will definitely be able to succeed." Ma Zhiyuan naturally believes in Lin Mo's ability, but this time is extraordinary, last time Hu Bi was careless and was killed by Lin Mo, this time I am afraid it is not so easy, and Ma Zhiyuan faintly feels that this time the matter is not simple.
At this time, Ma Zhiyuan suddenly heard a few familiar bird sounds, so he said: "I'm a little bored, let's go out to breathe first." Then Ma Zhiyuan got up and walked out of the hall and came to a secluded corner, Ma Zhiyuan said: "How is Ma Zheng?" A figure fell from the wall and stood firmly in front of Ma Zhiyuan, the person who came was Ma Zheng, Ma Zheng arched his hand and said: "Master, I have already investigated, this group of thieves is near the Guanyin Nunnery outside the field, there are many people, and it is roughly estimated that there are one hundred and ten people." Lin Mo brought more than 20 servants, and when he went, he hit the stone with an egg, and Steward Zhang asked me to inform the master and ask the master to find a way to send some people over. Ma Zhiyuan frowned when he heard this, he thought that there would be at most twenty or thirty thieves, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people.
Ma Zheng said again: "Master, this gang of bandits is not simple, well-trained, although they have never fought before, but it can be seen that they are not vegetarians, they should be soldiers who have been on the battlefield." Ma Zhiyuan's heart sank to the bottom when he heard this, if they were really all veterans, the soldiers of one hundred people would be very terrible, even if two or three hundred people went to the service, they would die in vain, not to mention that Lin Mo only brought more than twenty ordinary officials.
This group of people who came out caught Ma Zhiyuan off guard, he was thinking about who had the ability to gather so many people, saying that these were all thieves Ma Zhiyuan absolutely did not believe it.
"Could it be them?" Ma Zhiyuan's face immediately showed a hint of surprise, but then he said secretly: "No, if that's the case, you can't act rashly, otherwise your efforts will be wasted." At this time, Ma Zheng on the side said: "Master, hurry up and get an idea, otherwise Miss will definitely be in danger." As soon as Ma Zhiyuan heard that Ma Ruoyan was mentioned, he immediately came back to his senses, gritted his teeth in his mouth and took out a piece of jade pendant from it and said, "You take this jade pendant, go"
"Outside the horse, Lord Fu Yin invites you over." In the distance, a servant hurried over. Ma Zheng heard the movement, jumped to the wall, and went over the wall, the official did not show Ma Zheng but said respectfully: "Outside the horse, Lord Yin asked you to go to the hall, there is something important to say." Ma Zhiyuan pretended to be calm and followed the officials back to the hall, at this time He Ren was explaining the situation to Du Shaofu, and when he saw Du Shaofu coming, he hurriedly said: "Outside the horses, this gang of bandits is entrenched near the Guanyin Nunnery in the north of the city, there are one hundred and ten people, and they are all very fierce, Lin Mo brought more than 20 officials really can't cope with it, so I asked me to come for help, please can you send some people from other places to go." Ma Zhiyuan naturally knew that he was not too surprised, but Du Shaofu and Luo Ming were a little surprised, they didn't expect there to be so many people, Du Shaofu said: "If this is the case, at least all the officials in Yunzhou City must be transferred over to be safe." Luo Ming said: "But if this is the case, the person who was planted by the kidnappers will notice it, but they will lose their efforts, and it is okay for these officials to catch the ruffians and hooligans, let them go and catch the bandits desperately, I am afraid that they will collapse at the touch of a button." The three of them naturally knew that this official was indeed of little help, but if they sat idly by, Lin Mo would probably be more than lucky.
Du Shaofu said: "No matter what, since you already know the place, you can't watch Lin Mo take risks, I think so, first secretly go to the Yunzhou garrison to transfer some officers and troops." Ma Zhiyuan said: "It's okay to say this officer, but this officer and army have to ask Daoli Chen for transfer before they can be transferred." Du Shaofu gritted his teeth and said: "The matter is urgent, and I will transfer it first." At this time, Ma Zhiyuan said: "I don't know if this Chen Quan will listen to the tune." Du Shaofu is naturally a little undecided in his heart, he has been in Yunzhou for the past two years, he knows that these officials, big and small, have basically taken refuge in Deng Heguang, as for this garrison, Deng Heguang doesn't know if it has also been wooed, if so, this situation is really bad.
Now the only one in Yunzhou who is as different from himself is Meng Wenzhao, but unfortunately he is about to be transferred now, this sudden transfer makes Meng Wenzhao and Du Shaofu a little overwhelmed, Meng Wenzhao is unwilling to leave but he can't go against the will of the court, so he can only pack up his things and prepare for transfer.
