A few passers-by looked back, their faces a little nervous.

The sound of horses' hooves is getting louder and louder, a few family members look back, there are more than ten horsemen coming from behind, the leader of a few people comb their hair in a bun, when they are Han people, most of the rest are bald, look at the face to know that it is Mongolian, the family members do not feel strange, although Baoan Prefecture is not the Ming Nine Sides, but there are many merchants who use Mongolian people as guards.

One of the family members was supposed to be the leader, and he was somewhat wary, and he only shouted, "There are nobles here, and those who come must not rush!" ”

But the other party didn't seem to hear it at all, and still rushed along the official road regardless of it, but the family members didn't have a problem, the other party was more than them, and they were all fierce, although they were people from the same prefect's house, they didn't have the courage to correct the other party's disrespectful behavior.

This group of people has not drawn their swords and bows so far, there should be no hostility, but a little domineering, as long as they don't rush into the carriage, they can also let them, this is the idea of the family members, this place is not a border pass, and between the state capital and Dongbali Fort, I have never heard of bandits will haunt here.

The horse team was getting closer and closer, and the family members could already see that there were two teenagers and a big man in the lead, and one of the teenagers suddenly had a smile on his face, and he shouted loudly, "Boom", and the people pulled out their scimitars almost instantly.

A few family members just felt bad in their hearts, the other party's war horse had already brought the knight to them, fortunately, the other party had no murderous intent, otherwise in such an instant, several family members all had to fall to the ground, but everyone had a few more bright scimitars on the side of their necks, and the hand that was about to draw the knife had to stop, and soon the weapons of the family members were unloaded.

Seeing this, the few pedestrians on the road shouted in horror, scattered from the official road, jumped into the roadside farmland and fled for their lives, Song Caijie let out a low cry, and took the remaining cavalry to chase.

"Forget it, Xiaojie." But he was shouted by Zhiwen, not because he was soft-hearted, but because he had a hostage, he was going to face You Hongyuan head-on, and he planned to send a letter of worship to let You Hongyuan exchange hostages at the place he designated, and Zhiwen didn't think about hiding it, so he didn't need to kill more.

When Song Caijie and the others heard this, they reined in the horse, circled around the carriage for half a circle, and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

"Who are you? It is a felony to forcibly kidnap the family members of officials, but you have to think about it. A bold man next to him yelled, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was hit hard by the back of the knife in the back of his head, and then fell to the ground softly.

As the curtain was lifted, a scream erupted in the carriage, Ma Er stepped forward, quietly exchanged glances with the woman in the carriage, and then came to Zhiwen's side, "That's right, Zhiwen, the prey is in hand." ”

"Alright, let's go." Zhiwen gave an order, and the Mongolian people threw the tied family and the coachman on the horse, and they also turned over on the horse, and the other two rode forward, holding the reins of the horse that pulled the cart, and regardless of the screams in the carriage, together with the others, pulled the carriage down the official road and went into the distance.

Zhiwen had already made arrangements, and Song Xiance had rented a compound nearby, and there were no homes around, which was a good place for Tibetans.

When he arrived at the place, Song Xiance greeted him at the door with a smile, saw Ma Er, and handed over an envelope, "Aren't you going to enter the city, just right, send this greeting post to our fellow acquaintance." ”

Ma Er took the envelope, but he was a little hesitant, "My younger brother and sister..."

"Don't worry, we will take care of it, and we will separate them in a while, and I will arrange for someone to send her back to Zhuolu Mountain as soon as possible, there is a little shortage of people here, just call some cavalry scattered on the road by the way." Zhiwen said.

Seeing Zhiwen's personal promise, Ma Er was relieved to say goodbye, Zhiwen's move, even though Xu Jiu's good relationship was suspected, there was no evidence, if he was kind-hearted, I am afraid that he would think that the betrayer was killed.

"Be careful when sending the prayer post, if you trap yourself again, we won't be able to save you." Zhiwen confessed behind Ma Er.

Ma Er laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not so stupid, the mountain people have their own tricks." "Then he beat his horse and left.

......

"My lord, it's been these days, and I don't know what the situation is in Zhuoluji?" Liangtian Tunbao, in the study room of You Mansion, Master Bai was discussing the matter of Zhuolu Trading Company with You Hongyuan.

"Mr. Bai doesn't need to worry too much." You Hongyuan replied quite confidently, "There can't be any major incidents, and it will take some time for someone there to be in charge there." Second, if this Dr. Sun is still set out by you, his status in that trading company is not low, and he will still have some scruples when he wants to come to Zhuolu Trading Company, and he is not afraid that they will escape, and it is estimated that they will either honestly pay all the official items I have ordered, or prepare a heavier gift list to come to the door. ”

You Hongyuan didn't embarrass Dr. Sun, not only did he eat and drink well, but also found some patients, Dr. Sun was very busy, and he didn't know that he was in trouble, he had no scheming, Shang Lin was still young, where was Master Bai, the opponent of the old fox, and he leaked his bottom in a few words.

"That being said, I feel a little strangely calm." Master Bai said, "The soldiers and the messengers sent over have no news. ”

"This is also normal," You Hongyuan still didn't think it was different, "Now it's a piece of fat meat that can be slaughtered by others, who is willing to leave, this time away, it will cost a lot of money." ”

"That's right." Master Bai thought about it and felt that You Hongyuan was reasonable, "These guys, don't be too ruthless, let's get rid of people's lives now, your lord, it's not easy for you to explain." ”

"What's that," You Hongyuan said disapprehantly, "If it's in the state capital, someone died in the hands of those ruffians just from the beginning of the official purchase, it's really not easy for me to do, but where is the Zhuolu Trading Company, that town doesn't even have a name, the name of Zhuoluji is still taken by themselves, how many people died in that place, how many people can know, what can I do?" ”

"Your lordship has a point, but I still hope that these people will cause less trouble for your lords." Master Bai said, if things get bigger, this You Hongyuan is a person who has no ideas, so he doesn't have to find a way to find him.

"You have a heart, Mr. Bai." You Hongyuan said.

The two were chatting casually, and the chief attendant outside the door of the study suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Master, there is an invitation sent to the house." ”

"Who, who sent it?"

"The porter said it was Zhuolu Trading Company."

You Hongyuan raised his eyebrows at Master Bai, that means, how about it, he didn't expect it wrong, the Zhuolu Trading Company obviously couldn't bear it, and came to the door to ask for mercy.

"Your Excellency is clever." Master Bai arched his hand and said in a low voice.

"Bring it in." You Hongyuan commanded in the study, and his voice was quite majestic.
