In order to prevent the local rioters from going back on their word, they took more than 20 men in strong clothes on the road on this day, and everyone walked all the way to Bamiao Mountain for half a day.

Bamiao Mountain intervenes between the two counties of Xiangru Yingshan, belongs to the boundary of the three regardless of the territory, and is more than 30 miles away from Luojiabao.

Guo Tianxing Liang Leopard already knew that the people of Luojiabao had confessed, and he thought that he could get thousands of taels of silver in just a few days, and this vote was too smooth.

After being excited, he sent his minions down the mountain to negotiate, asking Luo Jiatan to bring the silver to the mountain to negotiate, but the other party was worried that the people and money would be empty, and asked to pay the money with one hand and the other hand.

Guo Tianxing Liang Leopard was angry, but the hostages were only two or three years old, and they couldn't tear up the tickets, let alone torture like adults, so they had no choice but to take the hostages and dozens of minions to the foot of the mountain.

slapped Luo Gongzi's ass and scolded Tianxing Liang Leopard viciously: "Old immortal, negotiate terms with Lao Tzu, believe it or not, Lao Tzu chopped this dog mongrel with a knife and let your turtle son collect the body." ”

I saw twenty or thirty people standing a hundred meters away, all wearing masks on their heads, and their green fangs exuded bursts of evil energy, even if they were far away, they still made people feel a little timid.

Different from bandits and bullies in other places, worried about being detected by the government, the local thugs in northern Sichuan at the end of the Ming Dynasty took the Sichuan opera face-changing technique to the extreme, and often wore various blue-faced fanged masks to avoid being seen through when committing crimes, and then scared the other party.

Luo Jiatan controlled the uneasiness in his heart, and arched his hand: "Of course the old man is afraid, but the old man is even more worried that Xingjun will not be happy and violate his faith, and he will not save the dog by handing over the money to Xingjun in vain." ”

The minions laughed loudly, and Guo Tianxing pointed to the child who was tied up by the five flowers and said: "In this case, the acquaintance will pay the money and leave immediately, lest this Xingjun be angry and kill none of you." ”

Luo Jiatan arched his hand and said: "What Xingjun said is very reasonable, our two families don't want to hurt the harmony, as long as we can ensure the safety of the dog, we will not lose a penny of Xingjun." ”

Immediately offered to pay the money in one hand and the other hand, and the representatives of both parties confirmed that there was no problem with the hostage silver and completed the transaction.

Since his debut, he has been persecuted by others, and he has been the rules of the rivers and lakes in the past few years, and now he is quite annoyed to see the other party so ignorant of lifting.

At first, he also let the minions torture the hostages, although the torture made the other party thunderous, but he still admitted his death and resolutely refused to give in, and in the end he actually threatened to cancel the transaction.

As a robber, although Liang Leopard has done a lot of big cases in the past few years, it is the first time that he has extorted a thousand taels of silver at once, so it is right for the other party to be cautious.

Besides, the other party only has more than 20 people, and he has a large number of people and is afraid of a few countrymen on his own territory?

Worried that his reputation would be ruined, the brutal Guo Tianxing had no choice, so he sent a small boss to confirm that the silver was correct and then kept his promise to release him.

Although he kept saying that he still had two or three illegitimate children outside, now that the father and son met for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, Luo Jiatan was still quite excited, looking at his emaciated son and crying bitterly, and then preparing to leave the dangerous place under the persuasion of everyone.

Seeing that the other party wanted to leave so easily, Guo Tianxing Liang Bao laughed and said: "Master, let you leave so easily, if this matter spreads like this, I wonder how Lao Tzu Guo Tianxing can mix outside." ”

Luo Jiatan asked in fear: "You, you, as the saying goes, there is a way to steal, I will pay the ransom according to your requirements, you should not be in trouble for our father and son." ”

Shaking the leopard head mask on his head, Liang Si smiled and said, "You threatened this Xingjun just now, if you let you go like this, where will I put my face?"

You say, it's to cut off your arm, or leave something behind, so that this star monarch can dissipate his anger. ”

Everyone was frightened, and everyone protected the Luo family's father and son and walked away.

Guo Tianxing relied on the overwhelming number of people on his own territory to chase all the way, so he chased for more than three miles and saw that he was about to catch the other party, and was suddenly stopped by the little minion behind him.

Looking back, there were several flames burning on the cottage in the distance, which was a signal that the cottage was in distress.

In order to catch up with the Luo family's father and son, there are not many people left in the cottage, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Regardless of chasing the Luo family's father and son, the local tyrants turned around and walked back one by one, and seeing that the local tyrants wanted to retreat, how could they let go of such a good opportunity, turn around and fight back one by one, delaying time.

Guo Tianxing didn't care about these anxious people rushing back, except for a few dead corpses and three or five howling and crying earth thugs on the ground, more importantly, the silver taels that had just been looted were nowhere to be seen.

Seeing the sky-passing stars who were out of breath and trembling with anger, the military advisor Wu crooked his mouth and trembled and talked about the incident, everyone was counting and transporting silver, who expected to kill more than a dozen strong men from the grass on the side of the road.

The other party shoots arrows and crossbows from afar, and there is a tall figure who is even more powerful, and everyone has encountered some powerful ones for so many years, but it is difficult for three or five people with high kung fu to get close.

It is rare to encounter such a large number of strong bows and crossbows that shoot from a distance, and three or five people are killed and wounded before they can fight, and the others are terrified and dare not respond to the battle at all.

In ancient times, killing the enemy was about momentum, if the momentum was like a rainbow, of course, it could thwart a strong enemy, and now after being shot by the other party, everyone couldn't care about the silver ingots and ran away one by one.

Wu crooked his mouth had no choice, only one side asked people to light a bonfire in the cottage to make an emergency, and the other side sent someone to look for the stars in the sky.

Looking at the brothers lying on the ground, who had already hardened their bodies, Guo Tianxing became angry and vowed to take revenge, but this group of people came and went without a trace, and although they searched hard, it was difficult to find each other's whereabouts.

Liang Si gritted his teeth and claimed to retaliate, and sent many detailed works to investigate everywhere to get back face.

Just like many police and gangster films in the previous life often used the opportunity to redeem hostages to wipe out the bandits, although Yang Lin, who was weak, had the heart to do so, he did not have this strength.

Before coming, he and Luo Jiatan planned to bring the silver to attract the attention of the local rioters, and he led a dozen strong men to protect everyone's safety in secret, or recapture the silver.

In the past few days, Luo Jiatan has ostensibly recruited and protected strong men, while Yang Wei and Yang Cheng have secretly contacted more than a dozen strong men, some are hunters, some are practicing families, and brought dry food to ambush in the dark the night before, in case the local rioters collected the money and did not let them go.

Sure enough, Guo Tianxing received the silver and changed the hexagram to leave everyone, who knew that the praying mantis catching the cicada and the yellow finch were behind, and Yang Lin immediately led everyone to raid the scene.

Although there were more than twenty or thirty people in the field, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and the people suddenly shot arrows from far away from the woods, and shot two before they could fight, and the others fled in fear.

Everyone took the silver, rushed one foot high and one foot short and fled into the woods, and ran desperately forward for more than ten miles, stopping in their tracks.

I looked at a silver ingot in my arms, there were 50 taels of ingots, and there were also smaller broken silver, everyone had seen so much silver since childhood, and many people couldn't help but be happy.

The countrymen work hard, in addition to ensuring food and clothing for a year, they can't save a few taels of silver in a year (in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the general labor money is about 3-5 cents, and it is only 1 tael and 5 cents in a month.

After that, inflation, to the Jiaqing Daoguang period, the general labor money is about 5-7 cents)

Along the way, Yang Lin's heart and blood were rolling, and it was the first time in his life to see such a bloody scene, and the inner stimulation can be imagined, and when he closed his eyes slightly, he saw two or three tattered men lying on the ground wailing, and the scene was ten thousand times worse than the beggars in his previous life.

Could it be that these are those tyrants who occupy the mountains and are kings, and their lives are not as miserable as dogs? It's really better to be a peace dog than a troubled world.

Yang Lin was even more emotional, he had also fought in a group fight in his previous life, but he fought hand-to-hand with a stick, and now it seems that fighting in ancient times can be so simple, first shoot at a distance, and then fight in close quarters after defeating the opponent in morale.

The slight difference is that modern machine guns and automatic rifles are more powerful, while in ancient times, bows and crossbows and bird guns were used, and the firepower was weaker.

Taking advantage of the rest, Yang Cheng put the silver back together, which was as much as eight hundred taels, and recaptured most of it, and everyone was very happy with joy.

Now it is still in the territory of the local tyrants, and everyone does not dare to stay, and after a short rest, they rush to Luo Jiatan to meet at the inn in front.
