Chapter 284: The Beast
Su Xiaoya looked at the piece of land she had just circled a few days ago, and thinking of the hot spring in it, Su Xiaoya couldn't wait to go over and have a look.
"Leshui, let's go over and have a look first, shall we? When the time comes, it will be the same to let the prime minister bring someone over. Su Xiaoya said.
Leshui was a little helpless: "No, madam, the young master said before leaving, you must wait here for him to come back and then go over together, what if you go directly now, what if something happens on the way?" Slaves and maids don't dare to guarantee it. ”
Su Xiaoya lowered her head and stopped talking, and Le Shui gently covered her mouth and laughed.
It's just that Kitano Xuan went out to inspect a few of Su Xiaoya's shops, so naturally he won't come back in a short time, Su Xiaoya really couldn't wait, so he directly told Leshui to pack up his things, and went to the hot spring in advance to take a dip.
"Haole Water, you know, if we can develop hot springs on this small soup mountain, won't it be another business at that time? You can come to the hot springs whenever you want in the future! Su Xiaoya sat in the carriage and coaxed Leshui and said.
Leshui was helpless: "Madam, how can the slave maid have this qualification to go to any hot spring?" The slave is just worried about your safety, madam. Now there is no young master by his side to protect Madame, and he only brings such a small number of people, what if something happens to Madame? ”
Su Xiaoya looked at Leshui helplessly, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Leshui, if something really happens to me on the way, then half of my willingness will be said by your crow's mouth." ”
As soon as the words fell, Su Xiaoya felt that the carriage she was sitting in suddenly shook violently.
"What's going on?!" Leshui asked loudly, but no one outside responded.
Su Xiaoya was about to open the curtain to look, but who knew that a sword came directly from outside the curtain, pointing directly at Su Xiaoya's neck.
"Come out slowly, take you as a maid, or don't blame us for being ruthless." It was a man's voice.
A few days later, Kitano Xuan rushed back from out of town, but heard that Su Xiaoya had disappeared on the way to Xiaotangshan.
"Madame said that she wanted to go to Xiaotangshan to see the hot springs, but she didn't even persuade Miss Leshui to persuade her. But so many days have passed, and yesterday Xiao Tangshan sent a letter to ask, saying that Mrs. had obviously passed the word that she wanted to pass, why hadn't it passed yet. The people in the house were so frightened that they were about to cry.
Kitano Xuan's heart sank, and he immediately ordered: "Go and find out, what happened on the way Madame to Xiaotangshan, you must find out everything for me!" ”
As soon as the words fell, two black figures immediately rushed out from Kitano Xuan's side.
It didn't take long for the secret guard to come back and say, "It is said that that this section of the road has recently been surrounded by this group of bandits, and they are simply the head snakes of the land, and even the government has no choice,"
No way? Kitano Xuan snorted coldly: "Go, I'm here to see what this county government does!" ”
With that, Kitano Xuan took his guards to the county office in the city.
"Lord Prefectural, now that my wife has disappeared on this road, isn't Lord Prefectural Commander going to do something?" Kitano said as he sat on the stool of the prefectural magistrate.
The county magistrate was helpless: "This ...... It's not that the lower officials don't do things, it's just that the lower officials are really busy with official business. What's more, if this kind of thing is true, it will naturally be done by the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, so you don't have to worry about it......"
After saying that, the prefectural magistrate still wanted to send Kitano Xuan away.
Kitano Xuan's eyes were cold. There must be something else in this, otherwise why don't you save people if this county magistrate is good? Obviously, this county magistrate knew about the bandits, but it was unknown what was going on.
"Go, let people ask the people well, what the hell is going on?" Kitano said.
The county magistrate saw that Kitano Xuan had no time to take care of himself, so he left the county office directly.
After a long time, the secret guard beside Beiye Xuan came over and said: "Lord Wang, I heard that it is because this bandit is not an ordinary person, and during this time, there will always be women and children among the people, and it is said that it is related to those bandits. ”
What kind of relationship can make those women and children disappear......
Kitano decided to go over and check it out himself: "Let's go over and take a look, I also want to know what's going on." ”
After saying that, Kitano Xuan took the dark guard to the territory of those bandits.
Because these bandits have always been rampant and domineering, and the county magistrate does not dare to take care of these bandits, they have always been unscrupulous, even a little arrogant, and even the territory is not hidden.
"Lord Wang, this is it," the dark guard said quietly squatting beside Kitano Xuan.
Kitano Ken also saw it, but what he saw was a huge cage, and the women and children who were said to be missing were naturally held inside.
"Hurry up!" One of the bandits didn't know what they were doing, so they turned around and kicked a man next to him, and then told them to hurry to do something.
Kitano Xuan didn't know why, but at this time, Kitano Xuan saw Su Xiaoya and Leshui who were locked aside alone.
"Lord Wang!" The dark guard wanted to persuade Kitano Xuan not to be impulsive, but Kitano Xuan directly pushed his hand away.
Kitano Xuan quietly leaned over, and was about to open Su Xiaoya's cage and leave with Su Xiaoya, when the bandits who had already left came back: "It's really unlucky!" ”
"Forget it, don't talk about it, isn't it such a big thing? It's a big deal to pay more attention to rest in the future. ”
"It's just that it's not worth it to be angry with your body."
Beiye Xuan was anxious, looked at Su Xiaoya who was close at hand, and then looked at the few men who walked towards him, and finally had to give up to save Su Xiaoya.
"Go to the county office!" Kitano Xuan, who was annoyed in his heart, ordered directly.
After arriving at the county office, the county magistrate looked at Kitano Xuan, who had gone and returned, with a puzzled expression, and asked, "What's wrong?" Son...... Son! If you have something to say, you have something to say, son! ”
Kitano Xuan didn't listen to the words of this county commander, but directly asked the county magistrate to arrest him, and he personally hammered two punches: "What the hell are those bandits going on?" Well? If you don't, I don't mind beating you to death here. ”
The county magistrate is also a person with fine skin and tender meat, and he has never suffered much, and after being beaten twice by General Kitano Xuan, he couldn't help it, and shouted continuously: "Ouch...... I said, "Didn't I say it didn't work yet?" Childe, I'll tell you what you want to know! ”
The prefectural magistrate didn't expect Kitano Xuan to ignore it like this, he was also a county magistrate anyway, but Kitano Xuan wanted to beat himself to death.
Kitano Xuan then rubbed his fists and said with a smile: "It's good to know and say it, let's say it, what the hell is going on." ”
The county magistrate sat on the ground slowly holding his stomach and whispered, "These bandits are really not normal people...... They went out and took women and children everywhere and went back, and then had these people thrown out to feed the beast...... We are also normal people, who dares to say such things! ”
Kitano Xuan frowned, no wonder he heard those bandits say "bring people over", it seemed that they were asking people to feed the beast.
"It is precisely for this reason that we dare not speak out...... After all, this beast is so terrifying, what can we people do? The prefectural commander spread his hands and said.
What kind of prefectural magistrate is this? It's just a corrupt official who only knows how to be greedy for pleasure, if it weren't for the fact that there is nothing big in this city, this county magistrate would have been ousted a long time ago.
Kitano Xuan couldn't bear it, so he simply let people knock out this county magistrate.
"Lord Wang, what should I do now?" Ah Jin realized the seriousness of the matter, what if Su Xiaoya was also pulled over to feed the beast? I'm afraid that Kitano Xuan will go crazy by then,
Kitano Xuan thought for a while and said, "Go to Lord Shilang, I don't believe that no one in the entire Northern Xinjiang dares to take care of this matter." ”
Lord Squire Zhang has always been known for his honesty and integrity, and it is normal for Kitano Xuan to think of going to Lord Squire.
"Is this true?!" Lord Zhang, the waiter, was not unhappy when he was woken up by Kitano Xuan in the middle of the night, and even his face was full of concern.
Kitano Xuan said urgently: "My lord, this matter really can't be delayed. If it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that more people will be sent to feed that beast! ”
Kitano thought of that tragic situation...... I felt uncomfortable in my heart.
Lord Zhang, the squire, hurriedly took his token and said: "Go, hurry up and find all the people of the Royal Forest Army, this token can be cut first and then played, presumably Your Majesty will not mind." ”
Kitano Xuan naturally believed in Lord Zhang, so he hurriedly asked his secret guard to find someone with those tokens: "Then my lord, why don't we go over first?" I'm really scared......" He was afraid that during the time he didn't star, Su Xiaoya was sent to feed the beast.
Lord Zhang nodded, just put on a piece of clothing and followed Kitano Xuan to the bandits' territory.
"These ...... These white bones are actually the bones of those people sent by the bandits to feed the beasts?! Lord Shirou asked, shaking his fingers, pointing to the bones on the ground.
Kitano Xuan nodded: "It should be." Lord Zhang, you must pay attention to follow me, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety. ”
Master Zhang nodded hurriedly.
Kitano Xuan quietly poked his head out to take a look, and after seeing that Su Xiaoya and Leshui were still locked in that cage, Kitano Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, I can't find any women and children outside during this time, otherwise we'll send all the things we have now, right?"
"Idiot! If it's sent now, what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? It's not like you don't know that this thing really gets hungry easily, and you think it's so easy to deal with?! ”
