Bandits usually rob money but not people, which is a kind of theft.

In the thinking of the Chinese people, money is something outside the body, and if you lose it, you will lose it, as long as the person is fine, it is just in vain to go to the government to report the case, saying that it is not necessary to see the official may have to suffer the 20th board first.

When you encounter a thief, you want people to be safe and sound, and if you have money and people are happy, you should treat yourself as unlucky, and you should be careful when you walk in the future.

But if it is a loss of people and money, no one can be so calm, even if they fight to the death, they have to go to the government to report the case, if they make a big fuss, the government may have to take action to calm public opinion.

But this gang of bandits is not ordinary......

It's just a robbery, after hearing that it was the official's family who robbed, not only did he not stop, but he also wanted to arrest the old lady who was an official, and the sentence "let you dispose of it" is clearly to ravage and torture and then torture to death!

The robbers rushed directly to Zhou's side with knives and guns, and Zhou was no longer arrogant at this time, burying his head in her husband's arms, and there was nothing else on his lips except crying.

"Madame Protection!"

At this critical juncture, only three or five of the chariot and horse gang brothers came forward with sticks.

These brothers of the Carriage and Horse Gang rushed out to block it, which indeed slowed down the movement of the bandits, but one of the bandits directly stabbed him with a single shot, and pierced the neck of one of the brothers of the Carriage and Horse Gang through the neck, and as the tip of the spear was pulled out, blood gushed out like a fountain, and the person fell to the ground and convulsed twice and then remained motionless.

As soon as the blood-drenched scene came out, everyone present was instantly frightened.

Zhou's eyes widened, he didn't even dare to shout, there was no majesty, all that was left was endless fear and remorse...... Why am I so showy? Wherever I go, I don't know that I have money, and now I finally provoked the disaster, how can I be good now?

"Take the carriage and the wicked woman away!"

Although the bandit leader had a cloth on his face, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but from his actions, he was clearly a ruthless character, his eyes did not change at all, and his voice was cold and hideous.

Zhou struggled desperately, but was still forcibly dragged out of Shen Mingjun's arms, Shen Mingjun wanted to grab his wife, but the tip of the blood-stained red tasseled spear was already against his throat. The other party kills without blinking, as long as the tip of the gun advances one more point, Shen Mingjun will follow the fate of the dead brothers of the Carriage and Horse Gang, and now Shen Mingjun finally didn't dare to move.

"Lotus ......"

Hearing her husband's call, Zhou opened her mouth wide and wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't say anything, her face was full of tears, and she desperately stretched out her hand, trying to pull her husband's hand together, but she didn't have much strength after all, and was soon dragged aside, and the person rolled on the ground and was dragged up again.

When a man comes up and picks her up, he will tie her up on horseback.

At present, there are thirty or forty people in the convoy, but no one dares to stand up and speak, even Zhu Qi, who has been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, knows that this group of people is not easy to mess with, if they resist, not everyone will suffer.

But seeing that the thieves took the champion mother captive, there is no need to go to the capital now, and it is estimated that no one will hire them again in the future, do you want to go back to be a bandit? Even my daughter, who just had a little happiness and stability, may have to be displaced again in the future......

Just when Zhu Qi was entangled in his heart about whether to fight to the death and protect his reputation as a loyal servant with death, Hui Niang walked out.

"Everyone!"

Hui Niang stood there at this time, although she was also extremely scared in her heart, but she was still able to maintain a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, "You should take the money away, just please leave someone behind, we will never report to the official, and we will send someone to pay homage every year in the future." ”

The leader of the bandits turned his horse's head and sneered: "This lady, judging by your way of doing things and the tone of your voice, you are a capable person!" However, no matter how nice you say, we won't believe your nonsense, we have fallen into the grass, and we have never thought about a peaceful life! If you don't leave, you will be tied back together! ”

Hui Niang said in a firm tone: "We are the Fujian Xiting Prefecture Chamber of Commerce, helping the imperial court to transport grain, as long as you are willing to let us go......"

The bandit leader's face changed, and he looked at Hui Niang coldly, as if he wanted to see her through.

"Your Excellency is the big boss of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, the Lingnan Goddess Doctor, and Mrs. Lu of the Lu Sun Clan?" The bandit leader directly reported Hui Niang's name.

Hui Niang didn't feel much honored, but Zhu Qi, who was standing behind her, felt that a lot of crises were coming.

Zhu Qiluo has passed the grass, naturally knows people's thoughts, and thinks that reporting his powerful background can scare the bandits, and beg someone to let them go. As everyone knows, things are robbed, people are killed, and there is no point in people stopping.

When the thief heard that you had a strong background, the first thing he thought of was to kill people and kill people, since your Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce has such a powerful power, it can't let you live, and if you kill you now, you can avoid future troubles.

At this time, Hui Niang has no way out, she doesn't want to watch her good sister suffer, then she has no face to go to the capital, let alone the face to go back to Tingzhou.

"Yes!" Hui Niang gritted her teeth and said.

The bandit leader hesitated.

Later, a brother came over and asked, "If you are in charge, you don't care what chamber of commerce he is, and if you kill him, you will kill everyone...... If you don't tie everyone back, it's all over! ”

The leader of the bandits waved his horsewhip and hit the thief: "Come out to do businessless to talk about benevolence and righteousness, the big boss of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, that is one of the best goddess doctors in the world, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a Buddha of ten thousand families, when the plague broke out in the Central Plains, if your family did not use the pox method invented by her, would your wife and children be able to live to this day?" ”

One sentence silenced this group of bandits, and some people unconsciously touched their arms.

Smallpox is the deadliest plague, almost every few years will break out, as long as you are infected with this plague, you will not die and leave a pockmarked face, but just a few years ago, the imperial court gradually implemented the method of planting pox, so that smallpox was controlled, as long as there was an epidemic in any place, the government immediately organized pox, lost the source of infection, and each plague was eliminated in a small area.

And this pox method did not come from the imperial doctor in the court, but from a Lumen Sun goddess doctor in Lingnan.

In the north and south of the river, as well as in the southwest and northwest, many places where plague has broken out, in recent years, every household has set up a place for the goddess doctor, and even in Huguang, Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places, there are temples built for the goddess doctor.

The leader of the bandits said coldly: "You said that you are Mrs. Lu, what are your credentials?" ”

This stumped Hui Niang, she suddenly remembered that she had a guide, and quickly took it out of her arms, and said, "This is my guide, you just have to take it and see it." ”

Waiting for Hui Niang's guide, as well as the accounts of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce loaded on the carriage, were taken out one after another, this gang of thieves finally believed that Hui Niang was the goddess doctor praised by the world for her kindness.

The leader of the bandits was still hesitant, for he had been following for more than ten days for this deal, and the brothers had to eat. Now that they have killed people again, even if they know that the other party is a person who is kind to the people, they will not be able to give up.

I have done everything, knowing that the other party is a good person, and it is extremely gracious not to directly order the killing of people.

"Keep half of the money, we'll take this woman away!" The bandit leader finally decides.

Hui Niang was anxious when she heard this, she just talked for a long time, and she said as if she was grateful to me, but it turned out that she was just leaving half of the money in exchange...... My good sister's life is gone, I can't confess, so I might as well kill me together.

"You take the money away, and the people stay!" Hui Niang almost screamed and said this, "If you heroes don't dislike it, the concubine is willing to take back my sister!" ”

"Madame is really a benevolent and righteous person, no wonder she is worshiped by ten thousand families, but we are robbing officials, corrupt officials are unkind and unjust, and we are forced into a desperate situation.

Zhou shouted in his heart that he was wronged, I just spent a little more money on the road, and then I talked to people louder, when was it unkind and unjust? I've never done anything unseemly!

used to be able to speak well, but now even if she has more opinions in her heart, she can't even let out a fart, just her face is flushed.

This group of demons kills people without blinking!

Hui Niang was almost desperate, but she still said solemnly: "Not all officials are stolen officials, this sister of the Zhou family, married into the Shen family for more than ten years, is just an ordinary woman, has never done anything evil, her son is a new champion, has been an official for two years, has been for the welfare of the people of Quanzhou, is it a stolen official?" ”

Hui Niang finally said Shen Xi's name.

Although she knew that reporting Shen Xi out might be self-defeating, if the other party knew that Shen Xi was a Hanlin official who entered the Zhidong Palace, thinking that it was a close minister of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that it would not be far from killing people and destroying people.

This group of bandits seemed to be a little noisy, and a bunch of people actually talked to each other about something.

The leader of the bandits didn't say anything, waved his hand, and let Zhou go.

Zhou's hands and feet were let go, she looked left and right in disbelief, and her next reaction was to hurry back to her husband, as if that was the safest harbor, who knew that she hadn't run a few steps, her feet were soft, and she couldn't get up after falling to the ground for a long time.

The thieves suddenly got off their horses, and the people in the convoy subconsciously retreated, but they saw the leader of the bandits hugging his fists and said: "It's actually the family of Duke Shen, and the contemptible people are here to make amends first!" ”

As he spoke, he actually knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou's three times.

This frightened Zhou almost incontinence......

This murderous bandit actually knelt down for me? This is not an ordinary thief, but a giant with bloody hands!

The rest of the bandits also knelt down and kowtowed, and finally the leader of the bandits, calling the man who had just killed with a spear, waved a knife and cut off his hand, and there was another burst of blood.

"Wow......"

Lu Xi'er, Shen Yun, Shen Yi'er and other children didn't see the murder in the carriage before, and then they were forcibly dragged down.

The thieves didn't even say goodbye, they left directly, and a group of people were crowded, some got on their horses, and some helped the man whose arm was cut off, and a group of people walked away.

Until the bandits walked away, the people in the convoy didn't understand what was going on.

Why did these people seem to have changed their personalities when Shen Xi was mentioned, not only releasing them, but also punishing the thieves who had killed them just now?

"Lady, are you alright?" Shen Mingjun went over to help Zhou up. Zhou's body was in a mess, crying so much that he couldn't even say a word.

Hui Niang's hanging heart finally let go, and with the relaxation of the tense nerves, the whole person seemed to collapse to the ground, but fortunately, there was Xiaoyu next to her.

"Quick...... Let's go quickly and rest again to the front town! ”

Hui Niang instructed with her last strength.

The group did not dare to stop, and they did not even have time to bury the corpse before they set off, so they had to find the town first, and then find the locals to come and clean up ...... If the bandits had returned, or had met a new bandit, they wouldn't have been so lucky.

After walking for more than 30 miles along the official road, it was almost an hour into the night, and finally arrived at the town mentioned by the guide...... It's just an official post built along the official road, and there is a checkpoint of the inspection department nearby, and then there is an inn and a few houses around the official post, so it is not a market town at all.

Only then did Hui Niang know that when she asked for directions before, she was deceived by the guide played by the thief, and she almost lost her life on the road.

"This lady, you said you met a bandit? That gang of bandits, it's not easy to mess with, even the people of Suiyangwei can't do anything about them, they wander around several counties, and I heard that they have a lot of lives on their backs! ”

When the shopkeeper of the inn next to the official post heard about it, his face was a little jealous, "But you can escape from the tiger's mouth, it's really lucky, I heard that as long as this group of people meets the family of officials, they will kill people and rob money." Whose family are you? ”

Hui Niang said: "The capital, the family of Lord Shen Zhuangyuan Shen." ”

The shopkeeper was in awe: "Then it's no wonder, Shen Gong for the country and the people, when he repelled the Tatar envoys in the court and maintained the face of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that not long ago in the capital with artillery to force the Tatars to submit, so that the border is peaceful." ”

"But what we people miss the most is that in the first year of the Yellow River after the great plague, and then there was a great drought, Shen Gong passed by when he went to Quanzhou on business, on the one hand, he did his best to give money and grain, and on the other hand, he played the imperial court, otherwise the Son of Heaven sitting in the palace did not know the drought in the Central Plains...... We ordinary people are grateful for his kindness, how can we hurt his family? ”

"It's a pity that the corrupt officials of the imperial court are in charge, and I don't know why they sent thieves like Gao Mingcheng to treat the disaster, and the people of our Central Plains hate to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin!"
