The method can't help but look this person up and down, called a flower-like character, the prime minister is what you want to see, there are more people who have come to the prime minister to pat on the road in the past few months, and it is difficult to even see the prime minister when the prince wants to see him, and your character also came to join in the fun.

The method was too lazy to share with him, and with a wave of his hand, he let the soldiers pick him up and send him to Ying Tianfu.

"Don't do it, don't do it, the little one is really something, I have a letter from Prime Minister Wang" He took out an envelope from his arms and waved.

"Slow, let him go" method stepped forward to get the letter.

"Hehe, this letter can only be handed over to the prime minister in person" The man immediately withdrew his hand, put the letter back in his arms, and said with a hint of pride, "How about it, can I go in?" ”

At this time, another person came out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was Fang Ling, who was carrying a basket and planning to go out to buy vegetables.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Fang Ling walked over.

The method pulled her aside, "Little sister, this kid said that he has the prime minister's family letter on him, I seem to have heard that the prime minister's family has long been separated in the war, how can there be a family letter, since there can be a family letter, why don't you come to find the prime minister"

As soon as Fang Ling heard the family letter, the first thing that came to mind was a person, Yun Niang, the character who always lingered in her mind, she had never seen Yun Niang, but she could see that Yun Niang was family in Xiang Ye's heart.

"Believe it," Fang Ling asked the man.

"I said, this matter can only be handed over to the prime minister," the man insisted.

I couldn't grasp the method, so I had to take it to meet the prime minister.

As soon as Wang Lanping heard that a letter from his family came, he didn't mention the excitement, there was no news of his family for more than half a year.

The person who came was none other than Hu Damao, the second leader of Daqingshan, and the purpose of coming here was very simple and bold, to ask the prime minister for ransom.

As soon as I entered the Prime Minister's Mansion. This kid's jaw fell to the ground in shock, the rich official is different, the place where he lives is called a big, this faction, where the gods live.

After turning a few corridors, the method led him to the middle courtyard. Wang Lanping had already heard the news and rushed to the gate of the courtyard, and took a closer look, who was this person, I didn't know him, and said, "Believe, who sent you?" ”

The man raised his head high, with a fearless look, "You are Wang Lanping?" The Prime Minister."

Wang Lanping didn't care. "Yes, yes, yes, believe"

The man smiled and touched his stomach, "I'm hungry"

Wang Lanping beat him in the heart, but still commanded, "Fang Ling, hurry." Let the kitchen bring refreshments, little brother. If you send a letter, you can send me the letter first."

The man waved his hand, looked around at the environment in the courtyard, and smacked his lips, "Is there any tea, I drank it"

All the soldiers on the side were stunned. , who is this, the prime minister's mansion is here.

Wang Lanping endured, "Come on, serve tea." Please, little brother, inside the house."

The man was not polite, shook his head and walked into the house, found a stool by himself, sat generously, and after a while, Fang Ling brought tea and snacks, he was not polite, he devoured it in front of everyone, it was all food he had never seen before, and he stared at Fang Ling in a daze while eating.

Fang Ling held the empty plate to his chest in disgust.

Wang Lanping sat next to him and said anxiously, "Have you eaten enough, what about the letter?" There was impatience in his voice.

The man was still stuffed with food in his mouth, slowly took out the letter in his arms, and said vaguely, "Well, we are in charge of the house......

Before he finished speaking, Wang Lanping stretched out his hand and snatched it, quickly opened it, and there was one sentence on the letter: General, the little Li Dingguo is incompetent, crying blood and asking for guilt, and now he is in a prison with Yun Niang and Miss Du, hoping that the general will save him, and the mountain bandits will ask for 50,000 taels of silver.

Wang Lanping couldn't believe that this was true, Li Dingguo was still alive, and Yun Niang was also alive.

Wang Lanping slowly put down the letter, didn't say a word, his eyes were gloomy, and his eyes stared at this bandit who sent the letter as if he was about to breathe fire.

The bandit was still gluttonous, and he didn't look at Wang Lanping's face, and said casually, "We said that the money will not arrive within ten days, so we will tear up the ticket immediately and do what we say."

When the method and others heard this, they looked at each other.

"Look at him" Wang Lanping walked out, "Method, go find Song Xian, Zhang Mingzhen and Song Dali, quickly"

As soon as the method saw this, he didn't dare to slack off and left quickly.

In the front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Lanping held the kidnapping letter tightly in his hand, and no one in the family dared to approach.

The sound of horses' hooves came from outside the mansion gate, and Song Dali and the others walked in quickly.

"See the Prime Minister" The three of them saluted.

Wang Lanping remained silent and held up the letter, "Let's take a look"

Song Dali was illiterate, Song Xian took it and looked at it, his face immediately changed, and he said continuously, "Really fake?" Is there such a madman in the world? ”

Song Dali hurriedly said, "What do you write?" Let's talk about it."

Zhang Mingzhen also took a look at it, and couldn't help but exclaim, "The world's strange news, Xiangye, who sent this letter?" ”

The more Song Dali listened, the more anxious he became, "What, the literacy is amazing, Xiangye, what's going on, you see I'm in a hurry."

Wang Lanping said, "Dali, do you remember Li Dingguo?" It's the guy I met in Huaining City."

In this room, the people who knew Li Dingguo were Song Dali and Wang Lanping.

Song Dali blinked, "Remember, of course remember, what, is he still alive?" This kid's life is hard enough, by the way, Xiangye, didn't he say that he went to find the old lady? Coming back? ”

Song Xian shook his head and said, "In Daqingshan, it fell into the hands of bandits, no, the bandits sent someone to ask for a ransom, fifty thousand taels."

When Song Dali heard this, his eyes widened, "What? And this kind of thing, damn it, what about the person who delivered the letter, Lao Tzu cut off his two legs first"

Zhang Mingzhen said, "Xiangye, no matter what, people are in their hands, or save people first, does Xiangye have any arrangements?" ”

Wang Lanping has been looking forward to it for so long, reading for so long, but he never thought that he would wait for such a result, he even thought that his former relatives had already died in the chaos, this sudden everything really made him a little hard to believe, still alive, Yun Niang is still alive.

Wang Lanping stood up, there was no trace of a smile on his gloomy face, and his eyes became as terrifying as the night, "Fifty thousand taels of silver, Lao Tzu doesn't have it." An army of 50,000 is waiting at any time, and the daring bandits have kidnapped me and tied them to my prime minister, which is a great shame."

Song Dali was even more angry, thinking that there were few old people left in Huaining, and Li Dingguo was one of them.

"Xiangye. I don't need you to do it, I call it the five thousand brothers of Qi Yulin's right guard, and I can set foot on the big green mountain within three days, and it's the other way around."

Song Xian hurriedly said, "No, the bandits are not afraid, Commander Zhang is right, it is better to find a way to rescue people first, and then the army can set foot on the small bandits' den at any time."

Wang Lanping was slowly adjusting the anger in his heart. "People want to be saved, and the bandits will never stay, Zhang Mingzhen, go and tell the military department, don't recruit An, whether it's 5,000 or 50,000, I don't want to see a living person go down the mountain"

Zhang Mingzhen took the order and left, and no one dared to question this terrifying military order.

Wang Lanping said again. "Zheng Sen, order the sixth battalion to immediately order the soldiers and horses. The starry night and night will surround the Daqing Mountains for me, and not a single bird is allowed to fly out."

"Yes!" Zheng Sen was ordered to leave.

Wang Lanping shouted again, "Go, bring me the messenger."

After a while, the messenger was brought over. As he walked, he stuffed food into his mouth, not knowing the seriousness of the matter.

When Song Dali saw it, he was angry in his heart, and he was beaten up with a fat beating, which made the kid vomit all over the ground. spit out all the snacks he had just eaten, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he begged for mercy again and again.

Wang Lanping waved his hand, "Enough, don't get killed, boy, come here"

The man was frightened, and before he knew what was going on, Song Dali threw him at Wang Lanping's feet like a dead dog.

"You, you dare to hit me, your people are in our hands"

Wang Lanping stepped on his face and said fiercely, "Afraid? Tell you, if one of my people loses a hair, I guarantee that all of you on the mountain will die an ugly death, do you know what it is like to be skinned alive?"

The man was so frightened that his face was like dirt, "Peeling, no, no, sir, we don't want to make a big deal about it, we just want to get some money to spend, don't worry, your people are safe, safe"

Wang Lanping snorted, "It's better to do this, way"

The method arched his hand, "Xiangye! ”

"Go, go to the household department to borrow 50,000 taels of silver, give it to him, and bring it with the army, boy, go back to see your master, tell him, it is better to send my people back honestly"

The man didn't expect the silver to be so easy to get his hands on, so he thanked him and followed the method.

"Xiangye, do you really want to give silver?" Song Dali said.

"I'm afraid that they will have a life to take the lifeless flower, the silver is behind, the army is behind, after the people are rescued, the army will raze the big green mountain to the ground, you don't want to go, Song Xian is not here, you have more snacks, boy, be honest in the palace, don't run to the palace all the time, don't think I don't know, you dare to touch the emperor's woman, there is no fear"

Song Dali blushed and smiled, "No, no, I just can't see them being bullied inside"

"Then it's not your turn to be presumptuous, remember, restrain your subordinates, don't be lawless, get out!"

Song Dali smiled and touched his head and left.

At this time, Fang Ling came in with a few maids to clean up the filth on the ground.

"Xiangye, don't worry, Miss Yun Jiren has her own nature, and she will be fine" Fang Ling handed the tea to Wang Lanping with understanding, comforting.

Wang Lanping thought about more than just Yun Niang's safety, so many local officials in the Ming Dynasty didn't take him seriously, and now even bandits dare to bully themselves, who can bear this shame, if this matter is not majestic, no one will make Cheng a fart again.

**

The Yamen of the Governor of Taiping Prefecture.

"What? The bandits actually kidnapped the prime minister's family? Zhou Shining, the prefect of Taiping Mansion, widened his eyes, he didn't believe his ears, and he was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth.

Zhizhou on the side said, "It's true, this matter has spread all over the capital, the kidnappers went directly to the prime minister to ask for ransom, and Prime Minister Wang Cheng has ordered someone to escort 50,000 taels of silver, but it is followed by an army of 50,000, and it will arrive tomorrow, my lord, what should we do?" ”

The weather was unusually cold, but Zhou Shining felt that his whole body was hot and unbearable, and he kept walking back and forth, "God-damn bandits, killed the official, it's not good to tie up anyone, not to kidnap Prime Minister Wang's family, I, I ......" He couldn't say anything.

"My lord, we should have an idea, this matter is in the Taiping Mansion, we should quickly remedy it, otherwise the prime minister will not be able to spare us"

Zhou Shining's face turned pale, sweating profusely, and he said with a sad face, "How to remedy it, the 50,000 army will arrive tomorrow, what can I do, by the way, did the court say that it would punish me?"

"Not yet, I guess I haven't taken care of it yet."

"Quick, get the pen and ink, I, I'm going to resign, this official is not right"

As he was talking, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the mansion, and several officials of the Criminal Department and more than a dozen soldiers entered the room.

Among the people, the director of the Criminal Department said loudly, "Zhou Shining, the governor of Taiping Mansion, slacked off government affairs, did not understand the people's feelings, forced the people to be thieves, and caused trouble for raising bandits.

Zhou Shining shouted that he was wronged, "This official is a dignified official of the imperial court, how can he be trapped in chains, and the prime minister can't treat me like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a few kicks in the stomach, and it was the soldiers sent by Wang Lanping to handle the case together who beat him.

"Such a big thing has happened under your rule, and you are still wronged? The prime minister didn't kill you here, and he already gave you enough face, so take the prisoner car"

The governor of Taiping Mansion on the side was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, for fear that he would be swept in.

**

The 50,000-strong army marched quickly, and arrived at Daqingshan in only three days, and before the bandits on the mountain could react, Daqingshan had been surrounded by regiments, and the banners under the mountain were connected together, and there were many swords and guns.

Soon, the messenger who had gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for silver was sent to the mountain along with 50,000 taels of silver.

Zhu Yan naturally knew about it, but she didn't understand why so many officials and soldiers came for no reason, even if she ordered to be ready everywhere, she must not do it first and ask about the situation.

That Hu Damao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the silver, but when he saw the officials and soldiers on the mountain who couldn't see the end at a glance, he was also frightened, and immediately planned to sneak away with the silver to find a way, but he was wrong, although there are many secret roads leading to the outside of the mountain in Daqingshan, but he didn't expect that there are as many officials and soldiers as cattle hair, and there are boundless edges along the foot of the mountain.

Zhu Yanliu's eyebrows frowned, and the pretty face hidden behind the scarf was also nervous, and she was leading people to the bottom of the mountain at this time.

"What about the second master?" Zhu Yan pointed to a close confidant of Hu Damao and shouted.

"No, I don't know"

"Don't know? How did the officers and soldiers come here? Is it that he has not changed his life and has done something hurtful? Say, don't force me to kill you"

At this time, Hu Damao came out of the woods with a smile, followed by a group of subordinates.

Hu Damao said with a smile, "Big boss, don't hurt your brother's affection for outsiders"

Zhu Yan looked at it when she heard this, drew her long sword, pointed at Hu Damao and said, "Who is your own family member with you, say, what did you do to attract so many officers and soldiers?"

Hu Damao put his hand in front of his chest, waved his hand and said, "Don't, don't, I have something to say, I don't see that my brother is living too hard these days, so I go down the mountain to get some money to spend, I'm here for everyone's good, come here, bring the silver up"

Hu Damao didn't dare to think about embezzling so much silver at this time, 50,000 taels of silver was in hand, but there were still 50,000 troops behind, this time it was estimated that it was a mess.

More than a dozen bandits carried a large box, opened it and looked at it, it was dazzling, it was really a box of white silver, everyone present was stunned, how much does this cost, it will not be over in a few lifetimes.

Zhu Yan was also stunned, you bastard, what did you do, so much silver.

"You, what did you do? Tell me quickly, what is the connection between this silver and the officers and soldiers outside the mountain? Zhu Yan's face turned red, and the towering **** rose and fell violently, ready to come out. (To be continued.) )
