Chapter 24: The Man in Black
I saw Li Suo Luo stretch out his bleeding right hand, and with the help of the bubbling blood, he struggled to write a word on his clothes: money.
She was telling the long-faced man that she could give him money, and that she could afford to give him as much as he wanted, definitely more than his employer.
People on the rivers and lakes generally still think this way.
Sure enough, the long-faced man stared at the blood-written words for a moment, then looked at her hesitantly and pondered.
Seeing that he was shaken, Li Suo Luo desperately pointed to his mouth again, signaling the long-faced man to detoxify her.
The long-faced man was entangled for a while, he should be fighting with his heart, if he can get money so easily, wouldn't he have more face in front of his eldest brother.
Thinking of this, the long-faced man finally made up his mind and slowly took out a small bottle from his pocket, which contained the antidote.
He poured out one, held it in his hand, and took the vial back.
"Say yes first, don't shout for help."
Li Suo Luo saw that the plan succeeded, and sure enough, she guessed correctly, this person loves money.
However, in order to cooperate with the long-faced man and gain his trust, she still kept nodding her head to show her obedience.
Only then did the long-faced man carefully throw the antidote into Li Suoluo's mouth, and Li Suoluo hurriedly swallowed the antidote.
After a moment's pause, she felt a lot more comfortable in her throat, coughed lightly, no longer as hot and unbearable as before, and was soon able to speak.
She looked at the long-faced man.
"You two brothers have no grievances with us, you should be collecting money, right?"
The long-faced man nodded.
Speaking of which, he was also quite uncomfortable, because the man gave too little money, and if it weren't for the urgency of money, they wouldn't be willing to take this kind of list of bullying children.
It's just that they seem to be very faceless, and if it spreads out in the future, maybe other people will laugh at them.
Li Suluo continued: "How much money he gave you, I will give you ten times, you tell me who instigated it, and at the same time let the two of us go. ”
The long-faced man's eyes lit up instantly, ten times?
He counted on his fingers, ten times how much it should be, it could make them live happily for a long time.
However, he didn't know who the person who paid the bill was.
"I don't know who that person is, he's so tightly wrapped that he can't see his face at all, and he doesn't say who he is."
"We're just taking people's money to help people eliminate disasters."
Li Suo Luo pondered for a while.
"So you two don't know who we are?" She asked as she pointed to Ji Ling.
Only then did he remember that Ji Ling's poison had not yet been resolved, and added: "Help him solve the poison too." ”
When he turned his head, he saw that the long-faced man was reluctant to move for a long time, and he didn't take out the antidote, so he couldn't bear to pat the floor.
"Twenty times!"
The long-faced man smiled and took out a small bottle, took out an antidote, and gave it to Ji Ling.
Li Suoluo supported his forehead, he was really greedy for money.
The long-faced man spoke softly.
"We don't know who you are, you are taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others."
Well, this time Li Suo Luo has completely figured out that these two are destitute Jianghu people, desperate and have no money to live, and they have made a list of money and murder.
Ji Ling's poison was also solved, he came to Li Suoluo's side and gave her a look, and Li Suoluo instantly understood.
During the time that Li Suo Luo and the long-faced man were grinding just now, he had been listening carefully to the movement outside.
It stands to reason that Gu Yuan should have caught up, but he hasn't found it yet, there is only one possibility, Gu Yuan was dragged back.
In the courtyard of the Lin Mansion, a bunch of guards surrounded Gu Yuan, and Gu Yuan hugged Qiao An with a helpless expression.
They can't go on a killing spree, and these people have been dragging themselves, and they don't know where the man in black is hiding with his two children.
Master Lin sat peacefully on an old man's chair, which the maid hurriedly moved out of the house.
Miss Lin stood by with a puzzled face.
Gu Yuan clenched his fists and said, "Master Lin, I'm sorry to disturb me late at night, the next two children were captured by the man in black, and the man in black fled to the Lin Mansion, so I had to visit rashly." ”
He was polite and thoughtful, but Master Lin looked disdainful and looked at the maid behind Miss Lin strangely.
The maid told him that it was this man who inscribed the young lady, but how could so many children pop up, this is because he wants his baby daughter to make him small?
He, Master Lin, would never allow such a thing to happen.
What else is the man in black, his Lin Mansion is very tightly guarded, how can he allow the man in black to come in?
What kind of heart does this kid have?
Gu Yuan couldn't help it, he looked at Miss Lin for help, hoping that she could help him once for the sake of helping her out of the siege.
Miss Lin looked at the strange man suspiciously, the expression on her face was unpredictable, and doubts, joy, and hope all emerged one by one.
Eventually, she spoke.
"Dad, my daughter thinks he is not lying, maybe the man in black is really hiding in our Lin Mansion, after all, it is related to the two children, let's search the mansion."
Master Lin didn't seem to expect his daughter to speak for this strange man, and his face was incredible.
But at this moment, in a side room not far away, there was a sudden sound of artifacts falling to the ground, and Gu Yuan still held Qiao An and quickly rushed over.
It was the gold, silver and jewelry stolen by the man in black who was about to flee, Gu Yuan held Qiao An in his left hand, quickly drew his sword with his right hand, turned around, and slashed off the right arm of the man in black who wanted to escape, and the gold and silver jewelry fell to the ground with the broken arm.
The guards in the courtyard immediately surrounded them, and Master Lin and Miss Lin watched blankly.
The man in black had broken an arm, his combat strength was naturally greatly reduced, and the pain was unbearable, and he tried to escape in vain, but suddenly found that he had a long sword around his neck.
The owner of the sword held the child in his left hand, and his face was indifferent.
"Where's the kid?" Gu Yuan asked eagerly.
The man in black covered the wound of his broken arm with one of his remaining hands, his whole painful face was distorted, and his mouth snorted slightly: "Backyard firewood room." ”
Gu Yuan immediately motioned for him to lead the way, and the long sword was still against his neck.
The man in black struggled to stand up and walked forward step by step.
Master Lin and Miss Lin also followed with the guards.
When a few people slowly approached the location of the firewood room, the black-clothed man and Gu Yuan were all shocked.
There was laughter from the woodroom, the rough laughter of a man, mixed with the soft laughter of a little girl.
Gu Yuan glanced at the man in black suspiciously, and the man in black had a helpless and loveless expression.
"Uncle, I don't know."
However, Gu Yuan remained vigilant and slowly approached the closed door of the firewood room, and the people inside seemed to hear the noise outside, and suddenly quieted down.
Since he was holding Qiao An in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, Gu Yuan had no choice but to kick open the wooden door of the closed firewood room.
Instantly froze in place.
Master Lin and Miss Lin immediately came forward with their guards.
