Chapter 595: Assembly Number
If bandits are considered an industry, Li Huaitang definitely has the potential to be the top leader in this industry.
Before nightfall, a stump wearing a wrench and a letter were sent into the mansion and delivered to Murong Yahao, the brother of the head of the family.
The fingers are illegible, but the owner of the wrench must be the head of the Murong family.
The Murong family was like a great enemy, and important people gathered in the hall, including Murong Yalong's three sons and two brothers, the chief staff noble, and the butler of the head of the family.
"Put your finger on the back door, and the murderer knocks on the door and leaves, and you can't see their faces." The housekeeper reported truthfully.
"Impossible, with the protection of Ah Da Ah Er, what bandits can kidnap my father?" The eldest son of the head of the family, Murong Ying, did not believe the contents of the letter.
The four methods of traditional Chinese medicine are to look at and hear. Gao Shang used two methods, holding a letter raft to carefully study and sniff, only chatting a few words on the paper, bullshit, the font was crooked, and there was no order, but in this way, Gao Shang still found some clues.
"This gang of bandits has a lot of appetite, and they ask for 100,000 taels of gold."
Murong Ying snorted sullenly, "We can understand the content." You are here to think of countermeasures, not to read letters. ”
Although he has integrated into the Han cultural circle, Murong Yingchi's blood still has the factor of his ancestors' martial arts, and he is very disdainful of such a scribe as noble, and he doesn't understand why his father reuses this person.
The noble city was extremely deep, and the ridicule did not cause the slightest fluctuation in his emotions, and his face always maintained a look of pampering and not being surprised.
"Da Lang misunderstood, what I want to say next is that there are many bandits, and they may be water thieves from other places."
"Oh? How so? Murong Yahao waved his hand to stop the eldest nephew's nonsense, and motioned for Gao Shang to continue.
Noble points out that the dampness of the letter is heavy, indicating that its owner is related to water; The words in the blackmail letter have a faint dialect flavor of Shannan Road, although it has been deliberately modified, but it wants to cover up; 100,000 taels of gold could not be swallowed by dozens of bandits, and transportation alone could exhaust them.
Murong Ying sneered: "Don't pretend to be a ghost, so you are making a fool." In my opinion, it was Li Huaitang's doing, and his father may have missed when he went to deal with him. ”
"That's right! Definitely. His two younger brothers came to their fore in good faith.
"No," the butler shook his head and vigorously denied, "I personally watched the family master's ship go offshore, and Li Huaitang was still far away at that time, and it was impossible to catch up." Besides, the head of the family's boat is so tall that no one can climb it in the river, and if he takes 10,000 steps back, Ah Da Ah Er is not a vegetarian. ”
The housekeeper's words are very reasonable, the boat that the head of the Murong family is on is tall, and everyone present admits that it is difficult to climb, and Murong Yingchi, who thinks that he is brave and martial, does not dare to hold it up, unless he approaches by boat. Therefore, Gao Gao thought that only water thieves were the most suspicious.
"Then, has Li Huaitang returned to the city?" Murong Yahao asked.
The steward replied: "No, the people who are watching have come to report, they are collecting boats and searching along the river." ”
"Didn't report to the official?" Noble asked.
"No, there is no movement from the government." The butler shook his head blankly.
"Well, the two concubines are not worth alarming the world and losing face." Noble and self-righteous. In his impression, Li Huaitang has so many warblers and Yanyan, since Princess Broken Leaf is his wife, then the rest must be concubines, and the status of concubines and slaves is almost the same. At least, he thinks that when he encounters such a thing, the only thing he can do is to continue to look for it, and then it will be gone, and someone will have to deny it when asked afterwards. Nonsense, you can't even protect a weak woman, and you are still worthy of being a general of Megatron?
There are many rivers in Jiannan Road, and all roads are strong and strong, and a hundred flowers are blooming. The Murong family is invincible in Jiannan Road, but the waterway is powerless, and the biggest possibility of capsizing in the gutter is only from the waterway. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the waterway heroes gathered in Jinjiang to compete for the rich fortune of the dragon boat race, and it was inevitable that some people would meet the wealth and hijack the head of the Murong family as a strange thing.
The housekeeper seemed to think of something, and said carefully: "Speaking of Shannan Dao, I remember that the Murong family had a conflict with those dragons who crossed the river a few years ago, and killed a lot of them at that time, could it be those remnants who came back to seek revenge?" ”
"Well, very likely." Murong Yabo, who had always been silent, frowned. Back then, he was in charge of carrying out the important task of destroying the immigrants of Shannan Province, and he knew better than anyone else the hatred involved.
"Yes, there are also a lot of dragon boat teams from Shannan Province, could it be that they fell ghosts?" The sons and nephews of the Murong family are as good as they are and no longer adhere to their original opinions.
"No matter who did it, our Murong family must not show weakness. Immediately gather the forces of our family from all over the country to come and block the Geumgang Korean Province at the same time. Gold, we give, but we must ensure the safety of the head of the family, until the head of the family returns safely, none of the so-called waterway heroes can go! ”
Murong Yahao gritted his teeth and made a decision, with the idea of splitting up in two. On the surface, he tried his best to rescue his brother, but in fact, he was forcing the hijacker to tear up the ticket.
The land route is controlled by the Murong family, the waterway is blocked, the hijackers have no gold and can't leave, and they are angry and embarrassed, what will they do?
The noble heart is like a mirror, but he has already bet on Murong Yahao for the matter of fighting for power, so he is silent.
The three sons of the head of the Murong family are purely martial arts types, and they don't know why, and under the cover of hatred, they also nodded in favor of the second uncle's opinion.
The dust fell, and the fate of the Murong family was decided.
As soon as the sky was brightened, people were surprised to find that the Murong family was moving abnormally, and dozens of knights walked out of the gate, heading towards the various city gates......
In an inn in a small town outside Chengdu, Li Huaitang put his arm around Xiao Lian and pointed out the country.
"The concubine is still qualified to be the king of this mountain, right?" Xiao Lianjiao smiled, and from time to time reached out to drive away the sultry claws on the twin peaks.
Li Huaitang said with a smile: "Well, a delicate person with a good look, but her writing is like an octopus, which is difficult for the Murong family to read." ”
"Originally, the concubine body could have been written better, who wants Li Lang to eat the concubine's tofu behind him?" Xiao Lian was ashamed and angry, grabbed Li Huaitang's finger and bit it lightly.
"Yes, that's it, don't use your teeth." Li Huaitang smiled and teased the beauty's two soft red lips.
"No!"
"Let's review again, or you'll fall behind!"
"Nonsense, Li Langcai boasted that the concubine's skills were better than the county lord's ......"
Flirting and scolding is very pleasant, but it is not something that Li Huaitang, a busy person, can enjoy quietly.
Suddenly, good news flew like snowflakes.
Tu Bulie sent someone to deliver the news: everything was as expected, the Murong family was gathering forces from all over the city, Chengdu Mansion, including the nearby towns, and was in an emergency.
Li Zhongxin quickly reported that the river boats on the Min River were ready.
More than a dozen carriages were also prepared.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
