Jing Wei was about to be unable to suppress his anger, and he was also afraid that Jing Wei would do something stupid again impulsively, Jiang Xun hurriedly comforted, "Easy and relax!" Seeing that Jing Wei didn't do anything stupid, he continued: "It's true that the person sent by the Zhang family is true, but it's not a murderous killing. The details of Wang Qiao's case, we have already informed Wei Jun, who is the mouth to kill when we come here again? It's not so much about extinguishing the mouth, it's about finding things! Or maybe they're looking for something! ”

Shi Ah was puzzled and asked, "What are you looking for?" Or do you want to find out what? ”

Whether he is here to find something or something, Jiang Hyun is not sure, if it is true, what is he looking for, what is being checked, just guessing out of thin air, Jiang Hyun is even more uncertain, so he said: "I can't say why." However, a stalemate here is not the solution. Wei Jun may not arrive until noon, and before that, he needs to find a way to rescue Jing Lao. ”

Shi Ah wanted to wait for Wei Ju to arrive, and then force the bandits to release the hostages, seeing that Jiang Hyun wanted to save the hostages first, so he asked suspiciously: "Why don't you wait for the county monarch to arrive?" ”

"The thieves are at the end of the road, if Wei Jun attacks by then, I am afraid that Jing Lao will be harmed."

As soon as he heard this, Shi A understood, he was afraid that Jing Wei would hear it, so he leaned on Jiang Xun's ear and asked softly: "Jiang Jun is saying that the county monarch will attack without regard for the lives of Jing Lao and others?" ”

Jiang Hyun sneered, didn't speak, and only gave Shi A a meaningful look. Shi A is meticulous, and his ability to observe words and emotions is also very strong, listening to Jiang Hyun's words, with Shi A's opinion of Wei Ju, eighty percent will choose to attack.

Time waits for no one, Lao Jing and the others are uncertain about their life and death, and they can't delay any longer, Jiang Xun handed the long sword to Shi A's hand, and explained to him, Jing Wei and Dian Wei: "I'll go to negotiate with the thief, if I shout, you will immediately lead people to rush in!" ”

Jing Wei saw Jiang Hyun leave the weapon behind, and said, "Jiang Jun, this gang of thieves is extremely vicious, how to unload the blade?" ”

Jiang Hyun said: "If you want to throw a mouse and avoid the weapon, I am the only one, even if I bring it, I don't need to bring it." If you really have to do it, even if you are empty-handed, you can hold out until you rush in. ”

"Jiang Jun!" Shi A handed the long sword back to Jiang Hyun and said, "Jiang Jun has a great favor to Ah A, how can he let Jiang Jun personally take risks?" Moreover, in this way, the ranger swordsman and the outlaw of the rivers and lakes, Abi Jiang Jun is more familiar, why don't I go! ”

"So ......" Jiang Hyun thought about it for a while, for these outlaws, Shi Ah understands their temperament, likes and dislikes better, and if they have similar backgrounds and experiences, they may be able to get some favor from the other party, which is more conducive to negotiation and communication, and is indeed more suitable than himself. Since this is the case, Jiang Hyun said: "In this way, Zitai remember, be careful in everything!" ”

Seeing that Jiang Xun's eyes were full of concern, and Jing Wei was looking forward to it, Shi A felt the burden of Wanjun on his shoulders, his face was dark, his eyes flashed, and he replied solemnly: "Oh! ”

Shi Ah handed over his sword and halberd to Jing Wei, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the pavilion. As soon as he walked to the door of the pavilion, before he entered the courtyard, he was stopped by the bandits inside: "Stop! Don't go into the hospital! ”

Like Jing Wei and Dian Wei's shouts before, they only heard shouting, but no one came out, and no other movement was seen. The door of the pavilion was closed, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.

Shi Ah stood at the door, bowed first, and then reported his name and said: "Shi Ah in Xia Luoyang, please ask the gentleman in the pavilion to come out and talk." "Shi Ah is an old river and lake in the prosperous land of Gyeonggi, he is neither humble nor arrogant, he does not lose momentum, and he has done his best to be polite.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one in the pavilion was still born and answered, Shi Ah continued: "You have also seen your methods below, you must be famous heroes and swordsmen, but how can you not see the situation clearly?" Now trapped in a corner, the county monarch will lead the army later, and then it will be a tiger with wings, and it will be difficult to escape! ”

"Humph! What does this have to do with you? The people in the courtyard shouted.

Shi Ah smiled and said, "Hehe, it's just a means to admire you, and I'm here to save you!" ”

"Whether it's friend or foe, how can we save each other?"

Shi Ah shook his head and replied, "Enemies are not enemies, friends are not friends, and you can't make judgments." As long as you hand over the four hostages in your hands, you can leave this place safely, and no one dares to stop you. Just until then, I hope you don't hurt the hostages. ”

"Hugh is going to lie to me! We will not kill people easily, and if we hold these four people hostage, we still have a way to live, if we hand them over. Even if you can let it go, the people here have already formed a blood feud with us, can they let it go? ”

This group of bandits killed people and set fires, and they committed crimes that were even greater than Wang Qiao's in Zaoyang Pavilion, and Shi A wanted to lie that the people could let them go, but he didn't even believe it when he thought about it. After another pause, he sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "A few years ago, Taiwei Qiao Xuan had a young son who traveled alone and robbed the three of them with a cane. The three of them went upstairs and begged for ransom, but Qiao Xuan refused. The officers and soldiers surrounded Qiao's house, but they were afraid of hurting their sons and wanted to let the three escape. Qiao Xuan shouted angrily, 'The traitor has no form, how can Xuan indulge in the country with the life of a son? He ordered the army to advance, and he attacked it, and his young son died. Houqiao Xuan wrote to the Son of Heaven that 'all those who rob the pledge will be killed together, and they shall not be redeemed for treasure and open a traitorous road." 'The Son of Heaven promises it. It can be known that the county monarch is upright, if he comes, how can he take the hostage and let you escape? At that time, I am afraid that they will all be killed! ”

These words were thought of by Shi Ah after hearing Jiang Hyun say that Wei Ju would not take care of the hostages, when that incident happened, he was in Luoyang, this incident was a big news at the time, and it caused a storm and a lot of excitement in the city.

Four years ago, Qiao Xuan's youngest son, who was a lieutenant at the time, was ten years old and was very favored by Qiao Xuan. Another time the young son went out to play alone, and suddenly three men took him hostage with sticks. The three of them entered the pavilion in Qiao Xuan's mansion and asked Qiao Xuan to ransom people with money, but Qiao Xuan did not agree. Soon, Sili Captain Yangqiu led Henan Yin and Luoyang County to surround Qiaojia. Yang Qiu and the others were worried that the robbers would kill Qiao Xuan's son, so they did not order the robbers to be besieged and killed. Hashigen was furious and urged them to pursue. Yang Qiu then attacked the robbers, and Qiao Xuan's son also died.

Later, Qiao Xuan met Emperor Ling to apologize for his guilt and asked Emperor Ling to order the world not to negotiate with the kidnappers in the future. Emperor Ling then issued an edict. In fact, since Emperor An, the law has gradually lost its effectiveness, and hostage-taking has occurred repeatedly in the capital, regardless of the identity of the other party. Since Qiao Xuan asked for the thief, this kind of thing has not happened again. Of course, after the loss of his young son, Qiao Xuan fell seriously ill, and he also resigned from the post of Taizhong due to illness, and then changed to Taizhong Doctor.

When Shi Ah was talking to the bandits, Jiang Hyun had been listening carefully by the side, and he had to praise Shi Ah for his courage and resourcefulness. Kang Hyun's consciousness is nearly two thousand years ahead of this era, and although he has not focused on the key points of negotiation with the kidnappers in his previous life, he also knows the key points of some hostage negotiations.

The first main purpose of the hostage negotiations was to stall for time, but now it was necessary to settle the matter before Wei Ju arrived, and if Wei Ju came, there was a great possibility that he would be killed. Some other purposes, Shi Abasic has done, first of all, he has always been calm, not arrogant or impatient, did not offend the other party in his words, and did not let the bandits get excited; The mention of "enemies are not enemies, friends are not friends" implies that if the bandits want to survive, they must ensure the safety of the hostages, and when the hostages are safe, they are naturally friends, which eases the relationship with the bandits and protects the hostages; also used the edict of the Son of Heaven and Wei Ju as intimidation, coercion and temptation, and all that remained was to constantly grind his mouth and break the psychological defense line of the bandits little by little.

Shi Ah was persuading the bandits, and reinforcements from the surrounding township pavilions were also coming one after another. Every time one comes, the worry in Jiang Hyun's heart increases, who knows when Wei Ju will arrive?

But fortunately, every support army is not the Wei Ju and county guards that Jiang Hyun is worried about, and Jiang Hyun will not pay more attention. But a person came out of the crowd, walked calmly, and walked to Jiang Hyun's side. Jiang Hyun turned his head sideways and glanced at it, this person was in his forties, dressed in a gray coarse cloth robe, with a bun tied on his head, wrapped in an earthy yellow turban, his face was clear, and three locks of long hair under his chin were scattered on his chest in the wind.

Jiang Hyun didn't speak, but the man opened his mouth first, his face was in the direction of Shi A, who was negotiating with the bandits, and his eyes were also looking at Shi A, but the person walked to Jiang Hyun's side, and this was obviously said to Jiang Hyun: "There are strong officials in a state border, and a state doesn't dare to speak." A county has strong officials, a county dare not speak, a county has strong officials, a county does not dare to speak. The county gentleman is upright and strong, but it is not the blessing of the small people! ”
