Yang Shuoming, who is familiar with China's modern history, knows that after the "Gengzi National Change," Chinese society has been in a state of intense turmoil, and bandits have arisen in various places, bringing great suffering to the people. Bandits are in great trouble in various provinces, especially in the northeast region, which experienced the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and in Shandong Province, Zhili, where the Boxers were in trouble. In contrast, the situation in Jiangxi, which is located in southern China, should actually be a little better.

Thinking of this, Yang Shuoming finally had a feeling of happiness.

Steward Wu noticed the strange look on Yang Shuoming's expression, probably because he didn't want the atmosphere of the conversation between the two to become too depressing, so he began to talk to Yang Shuoming about the customs and customs of this area.

The two of them walked while talking, and after a while, they came to a grand mansion.

Steward Wu took Yang Shuoming to the courtyard, looking at the surrounding carved beams and painted buildings and cornices and arches, Yang Shuoming almost thought that he had come to the Grand View Garden in "Dream of Red Mansions".

In his time, this mansion was definitely worthy of a cultural relics protection unit.

Steward Wu took Yang Shuoming to a guest room and went out, and a delicate and well-dressed little maid came in and brought tea to Yang Shuoming, and then went out. Yang Shuoming took a sip of fragrant tea, and he noticed that the little maid walked without wind, and couldn't help but be a little curious about the identity of the owner here.

About ten minutes later, Steward Wu came to the guest room again and asked Yang Shuoming to go to the living room to meet the host. Yang Shuoming followed Steward Wu through the corridor, and through the carved lattice window, Yang Shuoming vaguely saw several people in the living room, and the security captain who fired his gun seemed to be there.

Yang Shuoming and Steward Wu came to the living room, and when they saw Yang Shuoming coming in, everyone in the living room invariably focused their eyes on him.

An old man in a brocade robe who was about sixty years old who was sitting in the first seat saw Yang Shuoming come in, looked at him, a kind smile appeared on his wrinkled face, he got up and came to Yang Shuoming, and arched his hand with a smile.

"Mr. Yang's righteous act, I, Huang Shiyao, thank you here." The old man said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "If it weren't for Mr. Yang, I'm afraid the little girl would be ...... at this moment."

Hearing his name, Yang Shuoming remembered the big antagonist in a famous model play in later generations, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.

"Stop talking so much nonsense! Old man Huang! A shrill female voice said, "Ask him where my son is!" ”

Yang Shuoming turned his head to follow the prestige and saw a woman like Mrs. Kuo dressed in an embroidered cheongsam, about forty years old, staring at him.

"Don't mess around!" An old man beside the woman, dressed in a silk dress and a melon-skin hat, scolded her.

"Such a bare-faced calf can also kill bandits?" The woman said reluctantly, "The elder brother who sings love songs at the temple fair is almost the same!" ”

"Bastard! Shut up! The old man probably felt embarrassed and scolded her, but the woman began to cry loudly.

"I'm going to say it, I'm going to say it! It's because you are reluctant to ransom people that you have made it like this! The woman threw herself on the old man and cried, "His old man Huang's daughter has been recovered!" But my son is still in the hands of bandits! I don't know if it's life or death! If my son had three long and two short, I wouldn't be alive! ”

Yang Shuoming was originally very angry at her mocking of herself, but after listening to her crying and scolding, he couldn't help but feel sympathy.

Listening to his wife's crying and scolding, the old man's expression also looked a little sad, and he comforted his wife with kind words, and looked at the old man named Huang Shiyao with a pleading gaze.

"Mr. Yang, don't be surprised, please sit down." A hint of embarrassment flashed on Huang Shiyao's face, and he stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture at Yang Shuoming, asking him to sit down and speak.

Yang Shuoming sat on a chair carved from sour wood and looked at the people in the living room.

General Huang Shiyao introduced Yang Shuoming one by one, except for the captain Xu of the security team, the rest were all famous squires in the town.

"Mr. Yang's righteous act of saving the little girl from the bandit cave, the little girl has already said that she knows about the old man, and the whole family is grateful to Mr. Yang for his righteousness." Huang Shiyao said gratefully, "Mr. Yang's great kindness and great virtue will be remembered in the heart, and I hope to repay a little bit in the future." ”

Listening to his words, Yang Shuoming just smiled politely and did not speak.

Because although what this "old lady Huang" said was touching, in fact, it shouldn't be like that.

After he learned the news, he probably didn't think to thank himself, probably out of the relationship of protecting his daughter's reputation, he originally planned to pretend not to know. Then it may be that after the news came out, other parents who were kidnapped came to the door, and he thought of coming to him. And his daughter understood what her father was planning at that time, so she asked someone to quietly send ten silver dollars to her.

Ten silver dollars was not much, and Yang Shuoming even suspected that the money was paid by the girl herself, and it was likely all her pocket money.

"Maybe because she was frightened, the little girl didn't say anything detailed about the escape, and she didn't say the whereabouts of several of her classmates, can Mr. Yang tell me a thing or two?" Huang Shiyao asked.

"Yes! How are these children doing? Those of us who are parents are going crazy. Another woman, who was dressed up in a fashionable but relatively simple way to look like a wife, said anxiously.

The Mrs. Kuo who made fun of Yang Shuoming as a "bare-faced calf" just now—Huang Shiyao called her Mrs. Long—completely changed her face at this time, and said to Yang Shuoming in a pleading voice, "This Brother Yang, there are a lot of offensive things in my words just now, you have a lot of adults, don't be like me, please tell me, how is my son?" Yes? I beg you! She broke free of her husband's hand, ran in front of Yang Shuoming in a few steps, knelt down with a plop, and was about to kowtow, Yang Shuoming made a lightning move, grabbed her shoulder, and pulled her up from the ground.

Seeing Yang Shuoming's movements, Captain Xu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Don't hide it from Madame, I was held in another room by the bandits, and when I escaped, I saw that the four bandits had captured Miss Huang, and I hurriedly fled there after killing the bandits and saving Miss Huang, and I didn't see the other hostages." Yang Shuoming said.

After listening to Yang Shuoming's answer, Mrs. Long got up silently, returned to her husband, and began to sob.

"It's safe for them to come, because the purpose of the bandits' kidnapping is to ask for money, and if the ransom is not in hand, they won't tear up the tickets easily." A squire surnamed Dong said, "Although this Mr. Yang killed several of them to save Miss Huang, there is still room for things to turn around." ”

"I'm afraid not necessarily. Naga Black Donkey has always been ruthless, and six people died at once, he will not rest easily, and may kill a few hostages to vent his anger. That Captain Xu suddenly said coldly, "If it's an ordinary little minion who dies, maybe it's not a big problem, but if it's his own brother who dies He Black Donkey, then maybe what will happen." ”

"How do you know it's not an ordinary little minion who is dead?" Listening to Captain Xu's words, Huang Shiyao was taken aback and immediately asked.

"Because among the bandits who were killed, some of them used real foreign guns." Captain Xu replied lightly.

Hearing Captain Xu's words, the squires' faces all changed.

"If something like this happens, it's all because your security team is incompetent!" Lady Dragon's husband screamed.

"Boss Long said such a thing, but it's a bit of a shame." Captain Xu took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "There are few people in our security team, not only to maintain the peace of the place, but also to send someone to escort the children of your family to the city to go to college. You usually think about the peace of the place, when it is time to pay for it, it is difficult for a big son to take it out, and most of the security team is using shotguns so far, this time our security team has killed eight brothers at once, all of them are old and young, and this pension has not yet been settled! ”

As soon as Captain Xu said this, the squires immediately closed their mouths.

From their conversation, Yang Shuoming had already understood what was going on.

"What Captain Xu said is that this time I have suffered the brothers of the security team, and I, Huang Shiyao, can't help but say sorry here." Huang Shiyao said, "From now on, the matter of the security team is my Huang's business, and I will send all this year's members over later." ”

"We don't need to worry about it for the time being, you can calculate with everyone how to get the dolls out first." Captain Xu said, "If you want to ransom them now, I'm afraid you'll have to spend a little more silver." ”

While he was talking, Steward Wu suddenly hurriedly walked in from outside, came to Huang Shiyao's side, leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, Huang Shiyao's face immediately became gloomy.

"Since his Feng family has this knot in his heart, I'm afraid it will be difficult to unravel it for the rest of his life, you can go to Mrs. to tell it now, and then return the dowry!"

Listening to his instructions, Steward Wu seemed a little hesitant and wanted to persuade him again, but Huang Shiyao waved his hand resolutely, and Steward Wu didn't say anything more, but bowed and retreated.

"I heard Captain Xu say that Mr. Yang is a high-achieving student who stayed in Jiangxi, and this time he came to Jiangxi for a tourist inspection." Huang Shiyao's expression returned to calm, and he turned his gaze to Yang Shuoming, "I wonder what Mr. Yang thinks about the current situation?" ”

Hearing that Huang Shiyao suddenly changed the topic to another aspect, the people in the living room were stunned.

Yang Shuoming was also a little strange how this old guy could suddenly change the topic from kidnapping tickets to the current situation, but he said quietly on the surface: "As soon as the war starts, the so-called 'bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates', and in the end, it is the common people who suffer." ”
