(9) Bandits' greeting gifts
Huang Shiyao stared at Yang Shuoming tightly, and after a long while, he let out a heavy sigh and nodded. And the security captain couldn't help but look at Yang Shuoming with a monster-like gaze, with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Old man Huang, don't hang on to the current situation, it's serious to think about how to fish people out." Captain Xu said.
"If it weren't for the chaos of the situation, the bandits wouldn't dare to be so rampant. Now many officers and soldiers from various places have been transferred to the front line, and even the defense of the provincial capital is empty, so the bandits are given an opportunity. Huang Shiyao sighed and said, "For the sake of today, there is no other way but to agree to their conditions and pay a ransom to save people." β
After listening to Huang Shiyao's words, the living room was silent for some reason.
"A talent of 5,000 oceans is not expensive." Captain Xu looked at these squires, smiled, and said, "It's the cost of our security team for a year." If we had given our security team 5,000 oceans earlier, we might have wiped out He Hei Donkey. β
Captain Xu's words made some squires blush, and Yang Shuoming looked at this sturdy man with some amusement, and a bold idea popped up in his mind again.
Although the idea is a bit too risky.
At this moment, Steward Wu hurriedly ran in again, Yang Shuoming noticed that he was holding a large wooden box in his hand, and a sense of foreboding faintly rose in his heart.
Captain Xu, on the other hand, looked at Steward Wu very calmly, and Yang Shuoming noticed that his nose seemed to twitch.
"What's going on?" Huang Shiyao looked at Steward Wu with some surprise.
"The people from the rocky mountains sent it, and the people who came are outside." Steward Wu said as calmly as possible.
Huang Shiyao carefully opened the lid of the wooden box, glanced inside, and screamed in fright, almost not sitting on the ground.
Captain Xu saw the contents of the wooden box, and his eyes immediately became sharp.
Yang Shuoming also saw clearly, what was contained in the wooden box were three human heads with blurred flesh and blood!
The other squires also saw the contents of the box, and the timid ones also screamed in exclamation, and Madame Long fainted with fright, causing a great chaos in the living room.
Captain Xu got up and came to Steward Wu's side, looked at the heads inside carefully, and his face became gloomy.
At this time, Yang Shuoming also got up and came to Steward Wu's side, forcibly endured the disgusting feeling brought by the bloody breath on his face, and observed it carefully, at this time, his eyes also started again, and various analysis data continued to flow through his eyes.
"My sonβ" Lady Long, who had been rescued, began to cry.
"Madame, don't grieve, this is certainly not a hostage." Yang Shuoming said in a deep voice.
Although his voice was not loud, the living room immediately fell silent again.
"How do you know?" Huang Shiyao asked.
"The skin of these three people's heads is black, obviously the result of years of photoning, if it is a student's, it should be whiter." Yang Shuoming said slowly according to the hint in his eyes, "It seems that these three victims should be the children of the Zhuang family." β
"Not bad." Captain Xu nodded, looking at Yang Shuoming, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Moreover, they should have been dead for a long time before their heads were cut off." It's not a passing merchant. β
"Call someone in and ask." Huang Shiyao quickly calmed down and said to Steward Wu.
Steward Wu re-covered the head box, handed it to a servant, turned and went out, and after a short time, he came in with a man like the leader of the bandits, dressed in a silk shirt with slightly bald hair.
Yang Shuoming smelled the strong smell of wine brought in by this person, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
This bandit leader who came to give away the head obviously came after drinking alcohol and strengthening his courage.
"I've seen you." The bandit leader glanced at the people in the living room with slanted eyes, looked at Madame Long a few times, and said, "I was sent by the King of Ranshi Mountain to pass the word. β
"The heroes of the Troubled Stone Mountain for a long time," Huang Shiyao said with a gloomy face, "I have never had the opportunity to meet you, but I was able to meet them today, which can be regarded as fate." β
"Congratulations to Mrs. Huang, you were able to hire a master to rescue Miss Huang unconsciously." The bandit leader laughed and said, "Actually, Mrs. Huang doesn't need to be like this, the king of our family just sees that the brothers are short of money for a while, and wants to get two dollars for everyone to spend, Miss Huang and all the young ladies of the sons, we have been eating and drinking and entertaining very well." But Old Lady Huang actually sent someone to secretly save his daughter, and injured several of our brothers, which is a bit unauthentic. Therefore, our King He sent some things to Mrs. Huang in small ones. Something must have been seen by Old Lady Huang? β
"What do you want to tell me?" Huang Shiyao asked with anger in his endurance.
"Since Mrs. Huang has rescued all the daughters, we can't care about Mrs. Huang asking for money, even if we admit it, but this money has to be counted on several other young ladies and gentlemen, so that it is eight thousand yuan per person." There was a trace of unspeakable arrogance in the words of the bandit leader, "Old lady Huang saved Miss Huang behind his back, but it shouldn't ruin the lives of our third master and several other brothers, our king said, we don't want Miss Huang's money, but the murderer must be handed over before he falls tomorrow and sent to the mountain, our king wants to dig up his heart and drink wine to pay tribute to our third master." β
"What if I don't say yes?" Huang Shiyao sneered and asked.
"It's okay if Mrs. Huang doesn't agree." The bandit leader grinned and said, "When the time comes, our King He will come to Shuanglong Town with the other eight mountain lords to ask for people, and there will be a lot of excitement at that time." By the way, I heard that Li Xiaobeard suffered a defeat at Hukou? Ha ha. β
After the bandit leader finished speaking, he laughed arrogantly, his eyes swept over everyone present one by one, but when his gaze fell on Yang Shuoming's body, the laughter stopped abruptly, and a frightened look flashed in his eyes.
Because Yang Shuoming in front of him was looking at him coldly with pale red pupils.
And the killing intent from these eyes has soaked his bone marrow at this moment, and the cold breath seems to have frozen the air in the living room.
The leader of the bandits felt an unprecedented panic, he did not dare to look at the handsome young man in front of him again, but turned around and hurriedly escaped from the gate, flying like a rat.
"bandits!" Looking at the back of the bandit leader fleeing from the wilderness, Huang Shiyao scolded fiercely, turned his head to look at Yang Shuoming, and a bitter smile appeared on his face, "Mr. Yang, you have heard it just now......
"Oh?" Yang Shuoming seemed to have just come back to his senses, and Huang Shiyao realized that the red in his eyes was gone.
"It's okay, I'll just go for it, it's not a big deal." Yang Shuoming said calmly.
As soon as Yang Shuoming said this, the people in the living room were all shocked, and the tea bowl in the hand of a squire fell to the ground in shock. Even Captain Xu's eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief.
Yang Shuoming looked at the people in the living room who looked like wood carvings and clay sculptures, smiled, and didn't say anything more.
At this time, he was completely immersed in the details of the "mission plan" that the "supercomputer eye" helped him formulate.
In the evening, Huang Shiyao was pacing in a room in a distraught, and Mrs. Huang sat at the table, looking at her anxious husband with worried eyes, and just wanted to say something to comfort him, Steward Wu opened the curtain and walked in.
"Where did he go? Old Wu? Huang Shiyao saw Steward Wu come in and immediately asked.
"I just went to the library to pick up a gun, and now I'm testing it out in the yard." Steward Wu replied.
As soon as Steward Wu's voice fell, there was a "bang!" in the distance. Bang! Bang! The gunshot startled Mrs. Huang.
"What kind of gun did he pick? Long or short? Huang Shiyao was not afraid when he heard the gunshot, but raised his eyebrows.
"The short one is a 'self-made' made in Germany." Steward Wu replied, "This kid is very knowledgeable, and he seems to be very good at guns." β
"Old Wu, what do you think this person will come from?" Huang Shiyao took out a white sweat towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Could it be a spy from the north?" β
"I thought so at first, but looking at him, it doesn't look like he was a soldier." Steward Wu said, "It's really like an international student." The proprietor did not pay attention to his hand, which was the hand holding the barrel of the pen, not the handle of the gun. β
As soon as Steward Wu's words fell, the gunshots rang out again, and it seemed to be mixed with people's cheers.
"But where did he learn this skill?" Huang Shiyao shook his head and said, "Can you kill six bandits and save Yunzhi from the bandits' lair?" β
"It can't be a lone thief, right?" Mrs. Huang asked worriedly.
"Not really." Steward Wu said, "Captain Xu also said no. β
Huang Shiyao thought for a while and said, "Let's go, Lao Wu, accompany me to see him again." β
Steward Wu agreed, and took Huang Shiyao to the courtyard, as soon as the two entered the courtyard, the smell of gunpowder smoke came to their nostrils, Huang Shiyao waved his hand, dispersed the blue smoke floating in front of him, and saw the tiles in the distance.
In the distance, the two guards moved a wooden frame to a farther distance, placed ten clay pots on it, and then ran away, Huang Shiyao saw Yang Shuoming raise the Mauser "box cannon" pistol to aim, and found that he was shooting at such a long distance, Huang Shiyao couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
"Bang bang!" With the faint flames spewing from the muzzle and ten crisp gunshots, the ten crockpots were instantly shattered to pieces.
"Good!" The nurses shouted in unison again.
Yang Shuoming didn't seem to notice that Huang Shiyao and Steward Wu were looking at him at all, he looked thoughtfully at the Mauser "box gun" pistol in his hand, and quickly began to reload with extremely skillful techniques.
