Chapter 244: Grasp the Master with a Plan
Zhao Pu looked at it and said, "This is indeed a hidden place, but is this really the ferry?" Seeing that Zhao Pu was puzzled, Lin Mo pointed to the banyan tree on the side and said: "You look at the traces of different shades on the banyan tree, at first glance, it is the traces left by the tethered rope, this is either a bolted horse or a boat, who will ride a horse in this place, it must be a boat, and there is a lot of mud and sand on the shore near here, the water is shallow, and you can't rely on the boat, only this one is bluestone, there is no sediment, the water is deep, and it is a natural wharf." Zhao Pu suddenly realized when he heard this.
Then Lin Mo led Zhao Pu to walk up the mountain road, and before he went far, three men jumped out of the grass, startling Lin Mo and Zhao Pu, the three men looked at Lin Mo and asked, "What are you two doing?" What are you doing here? Zhao Pu subconsciously touched the saber on his waist when he saw that these three people were so fierce, and the three of them also pulled out the knife from their waists when they saw it, Lin Mo said as soon as he saw that the situation was critical: "Zhao Er took the knife." Zhao Pu saw Lin Mo like this, so he comprehended the knife and put it away, and then Lin Mo smiled: "My Ding Tang is abrupt, don't be surprised, the two of us came to this Guanyin Nunnery from elsewhere, and offered incense to pray for blessings, this accidentally walked into the mountains and forests and got lost, only then did I meet a few big brothers, you look at this is the hunter in this mountain, right?" Seeing Lin Mo so kind, the three men were a little at a loss, and the three of them made eye contact and then said: "Yes, the three of us are indeed hunters in this mountain, and they want to set up an ambush in the mountains to fight a bear back for some money." Then the three men took the knives in their hands.
Lin Mo immediately pretended to be curious and said, "There are bears in this mountain?" If you hit it, you must sell it to me, and I want to make a bearskin coat. The leader smiled and said, "It depends on how much money the son makes." Lin Mo directly took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and threw it to the three of them: "This is in a hurry, I don't bring much silver, I will give you ten taels as a fixed amount first, if it really hits, it will be sent to the Hu family in Yunzhou, and then I will give you the rest of the silver." The leader took the money and said: "The son trusts him so much, if he really hits the bear, he will definitely send it to the Hu family in Yunzhou." Lin Mo smiled and nodded, and then took the lead and said, "If Gongzi goes to Guanyin Nunnery, you can see it by walking three miles along this river." Lin Mo heard it immediately
"Gratitude" said, "Then I will thank you very much." Then he led Zhao Pu down the mountain and walked along the river.
The three of them watched Lin Mo leave, and the big man on the side asked, "This is going to let them go?" They should all be killed, that boy must have a lot of silver, and the robbery is ours. The leader said: "During this time, the owner of the nunnery asked us not to make extraneous branches, this person saw that the power of the family is not small, otherwise there would be no guards with knives, and the family should be officials." If we kill him, then the government will come here to search and find anything, and we will all be exposed. The other two nodded, and the leader knew that they were unwilling, so he said: "Isn't there ten taels of silver, and when the guard changes, we will secretly go outside to drink flower wine, and those who eat vegetarians every day are about to become Buddhas." When the other two heard this, they immediately became interested, and the three of them happily thought about where to go to drink the flower wine.
Lin Mo and Zhao Pu walked a long way to make sure that the three people did not chase after them, so they breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Pu said: "It was really dangerous just now, thanks to your resourcefulness, but even if the three of them rush over, I am sure to kill them." Lin Mo shook his head and said: "This time I was careless, these kidnappers are not simple, this is an ambush on the road, and there should be more than this wave of people, fortunately we didn't go deep, otherwise we would be surrounded by people, now hurry back, gather all the people, let's start a new plan." Zhao Pu nodded, and when he returned to this assembly point, he sent Lin Mo and the two of them when they all arrived, and He Ren hurriedly said when he saw the two of them coming back: "Lin Mo, you two are back, I am afraid that something will happen to the two of you, and we have found the cave." Lin Mo nodded and said, "I also found it, and I also dealt with the people who were in ambush." Lin Mo's words surprised everyone, and they all looked at Lin Mo and the others, and seeing that the two of them did not show the slightest trace of injury, He Ren asked, "You killed those people?" Lin Mo shook his head and then briefly said the situation, after listening to Lin Mo's narration, everyone praised Lin Mo for being in danger.
Then Lin Mo waved his hand and continued: "Now I have to re-plan this matter, this gang of bandits is not simple." He Ren nodded and said: "It's really not simple, just now Steward Zhang took someone to check it, and now there are people guarding the outside of the cave entrance, and there are still people guarding this way, and it is not easy to attack me." Lin Mo looked at Zhang Xian with some surprise when he heard this, he didn't expect him to be able to investigate in such detail without knowing it, but this matter was not the point, and then Lin Mo said: "Now the problem is to figure out the situation in this cave, and then think about it in the long run." Lin Mo judged that there were at least hundreds of people according to the peripheral manpower and the use of rice and vegetables, but he couldn't blatantly bring hundreds of people to rescue, otherwise it would be easy to startle the snakes, this vast mountain, once this gang of newspaper kidnappers ran away with Ma Ruoyan, they would really not be able to find it.
Lin Mo's previous plan was to take these twenty or so people with him, if there were few robbers, they would be wiped out directly, if there were many people, there were not many of them, and the goal was not big, so he would find an opportunity to rescue Ma Ruoyan and then directly smear the soles of his feet with oil.
The ideal is plump, the reality is cruel, from this actual situation, this gang of bandits is not an ordinary bandit, not only a large number of people, and everyone is exuding evil spirits, but like veterans on the battlefield, and the guard is tight, if you want to quietly rescue Ma Ruoya, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, if it is hard, it is to hit the stone with an egg, as for the idea of quietly saving Ma Ruoyan and then escaping is even more delusional.
This time it's not like last time, you can take the opportunity to drugged and set fire, so it's ten times more thrilling than last time, so you have to be prepared, even if you really want to lose your life, you have to pull a few cushions, and this time it's not with the determination to die, the ultimate goal is to rescue Ma Ruoya, otherwise it will be in vain.
Zhang Xian saw Lin Mo's entanglement, so he spoke: "It's better to ask the adults for help and find some people to help, after all, there are many people and great power, even if we use methods to lure out the people in this cave now, it will be difficult to rescue Miss, let alone retreat." Lin Mo pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, we will prepare with both hands, act at the right time tonight, send people to ask for help, if we can come, we will attack, if the reinforcements do not come, we will outwit, no matter what, we must rescue Ruoya tonight." It was nine or ten o'clock, and it was completely dark, just enough to cover their actions, and everyone nodded in agreement.
He Ren on the side said: "I'm afraid that more than 20 people will not be so easy to rescue Ruoya this time, and my family also has some influence in Yunzhou, so I can transfer some people over." Lin Mo shook his head when he heard this: "This ordinary person is here to die, and it will drag us down when the time comes, so forget it." He Ren said with a smile: "Don't worry, all the people I transferred here are military households, and they are all people who have been soldiers on the battlefield." Lin Mo was first overjoyed when he heard this, and then said: "No, these people can't be adjusted, otherwise it will be troublesome." He Ren was a little puzzled, but Zhang Xian understood it very well, so he said: "These people have all been soldiers, and the imperial court has always been a little wary of military households. Although Zhang Xian's words are not straightforward, he has already made this matter clear, if it is really transferred, the trouble of the He family will also come.
He Ren also reacted at this time, nodded again and again, and then said, "If that's the case, how can we rescue Ruo Aya?" Lin Mo thought for a moment and said: "I think so, let's act at night, it is dark to our advantage, it is still an hour or two before it gets dark, He Ren, you go to Yunzhou to talk to Lord Du and Uncle Ma, and let them find a way to transfer people over, so that we have a better chance." He Ren nodded immediately when he heard this, this matter is very important and related to everyone's lives, He Ren didn't dare to stay, and turned away directly.
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw He Ren leave, and Zhang Xian said, "What should I do now?" Lin Mo thought: "Wait for the night action, but this has to be heard first, the owner of this Guanyin Nunnery must be related to this gang of kidnappers, capture the thief first capture the king, and tie up the owner of the nunnery first at night, if the owner of the nunnery is heavy, we can exchange the owner of the nunnery for Ruo Aya, but the chance of success is very small, but there is also a good case." Zhao Pu nodded, and Lin Mo continued: "Then it is to find out what is going on in this cave, and know that you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Zhang Xian on the side said: "This is simple, since the owner of this nunnery is related to the kidnappers, he naturally knows the situation in the cave, and he will know when he is tied up." Lin Mo laughed when he heard this: "It seems that the owner of this nunnery has to be tied up as soon as possible, but I have to think of a safe way to tie her up unknowingly." Zhang Xian thought for a moment and said: "I don't think it's better to be like this, find a reason to get her out, and then tie her up, as for the reason, it is said that there is something at home, please ask this Dingxian master to do a Dharma event, what do you think?" Lin Mo thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Several people agreed that Zhang Xian would lead the two officials to trick Ding Xian out and tie him here, after all, in addition to Lin Mo in this group, Zhang Xian was competent, Lin Mo had already crossed paths with Ding Xian, and Ding Xian knew Lin Mo, so it was more appropriate for Zhang Xian to go.
Zhang Xian came to Guanyin Nunnery with the officials, and as soon as he entered, he saw Dingxian talking to several believers, so Zhang Xian stepped forward and said, "Presumably this is the master of Dingxian, right?" When he saw that it was a kind middle-aged man, he folded his hands and said, "It's the poor nun, I don't know who the donor is?" ”
"In Xia Zhang Er, he is the steward of the Zhang family in Hexian County, and this time I came to ask Mrs. Dingxian to go to the house to do a ritual, and I also asked Mrs. Shi not to refuse."
