On the second day, Mei Xiaoren and Jiang Rong were separated in Jinzhou City. Ei's situation was very dangerous, and it was even more dangerous to go on the road alone, so she gave Ei the carriage and the coachman and sent him to join his relatives.

Before leaving, Ei only said two words to her: Wait for me.

Jiang Yi said that he would take her to Beijing, and she had both longing and hesitation in her heart.

The hesitation is because she and the Xiao family and Gao Jingshu's accounts have not yet been settled, and it will inevitably become a pity if she leaves, and Lao Li treats her well, she also wants to do a few more errands for Lao Li to repay his old man's kindness.

The car was given to Jiang Rong, and Mei Xiaoren went to the car dealer in Jinzhou City to hire another carriage to return to Xuanzhou.

She sat in the car and pondered, in fact, Jiang Rong's previous words were deeply imprinted in her heart.

She is not a royal family, and she can't fully appreciate the feeling of being subject to the prime minister, but she and Ei have the object of common concern, that is, the bishop.

Jiang Rong said that Bishop Zhou's life and death were uncertain, which made Mei Xiaoren's heart, which had been settled for a long time, hang again.

She didn't worry all the time in the past, because she entrusted the scholar to intercede on Bishop Zhou's behalf, and the scholar agreed.

She only knew that the scholar would not break his word, but she ignored whether the prime minister could listen to it.

A person who kills so decisively must be accustomed to insisting on his own opinions, and I am afraid it will be difficult to listen to the advice of others.

What's more, this is the second time that Bishop Zhou has fallen into his hands, and the situation is even more dangerous

The carriage drove into a wooded field, the road was very quiet, and the only sound in her ears was the sound of the wheels running over the stones, and the carriage was moving very fast and bumpy.

She wanted to lift the curtain to explain that the coachman didn't have to rush so much, but she saw a slender wooden pipe sticking into the curtain, and it was spitting white smoke into the car.

Oh no, Mei Xiaoren was shocked.

She hurriedly covered her mouth and nose and prepared to jump out of the car, but her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and her limbs gradually lost any strength.

The carriage ran over a boulder, and the trunk shook violently, and she fell into the carriage, quickly losing consciousness

Broken courtyard deep in the mountains.

The one-eyed bandit looked at the person tied to the pillar, nodded with satisfaction, and thanked the person wearing dark red clothes beside him: "Thank you, Fourth Master, for taking this evil breath for me."

The man in red said: "The big boss is a man, since you are willing to be used by the fourth master, the fourth master is naturally willing to help you take revenge, just to arrest a person, whether this person is in Xuanzhou or Jinzhou, he can't escape from the palm of the fourth master." ”

"Thank you to the fourth master, in the future, the little one will be a cow and a horse for the fourth master, in order to repay the great kindness of the fourth master."

"But I have to remind you that although the Flowing Fire Gang is not afraid of things, after all, it has not yet grown strong in the world, and now is not the time to fight against the government." The man turned his eyes to look at the person on the pillar and said, "Since you say that this person is an official, then you can't make a big deal about it. ”

"The little one understands."

"The person will be handed over to you, and you will be at your disposal." After speaking, the man in red left the broken courtyard.

After that, the minion pulled out the dagger and gestured a few times, "Boss, then should we keep the corpse or not?"

"Although Lao Tzu has never read a book, he knows that there is a poisonous curse called death without a place to be buried, and it is very suitable to take revenge on this dog official." The one-eyed mountain bandit picked up his hand and made up his mind, "Then leave him a whole corpse"

"But we bothered to tie him up and do nothing, isn't it too cheap for him?"

"What is it to cut people with a knife, Lao Tzu has cut more people, it is not rare to have one more of him, this time let's

Just play something different. The one-eyed bandit walked a few steps, thinking as he went, then stared at the pillar and sneered fiercely, "Let's just let him stay here, and don't give him water to drink or food." ”

The minion looked at the dilapidated roof above his head, and replied with a sneer: "Let him be exposed to the sun and rain, and slowly torture him to death."

"No, starving him to death is cheapening him, and when he is half dead, Lao Tzu will throw him off the cliff and let him be crushed to pieces and then eaten by hungry wolves, then he will be relieved"

"Boss Wise" minions clapped their hands.

The one-eyed bandit commanded, "Go, fetch a bucket of water." ”

After a while, there was a "bang", and the cold water was all splashed on her, which startled the originally unconscious person shivering, and then she gradually regained consciousness and opened her eyes.

Mei Xiaoren's mind was dizzy, his vision was extremely blurry, and although he had regained some strength in his body, he couldn't move, feeling as if he was being restrained by a rope.

When her vision became clear, she looked down and realized that she had indeed been tied to a pillar.

"Why, I haven't slept enough"

Mei Xiaoren raised his eyes when he heard the voice, and immediately recognized who the person in front of him was, just because the characteristics of his one eye were really obvious.

She frowned, "It's you"

"Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, you have killed so many of my brothers, and it is really retribution for falling into my hands today"

Mei Xiaoren began to recall the previous incident, she hired a carriage to go back to Xuanzhou, and the coachman took advantage of her surprise and made her miserable, and then she fell unconscious, and when she woke up again, it was now.

It seems that she has been targeted for a long time, and she has entered another bureau since the car dealership hired the car, a bureau that she did not expect.

She thought that Jiang Rong's situation was dangerous, but she didn't expect that her situation was really a hidden crisis.

Mei Xiaoren found that she underestimated the ability of this mountain bandit, and a lost dog could still trap her in Jinzhou.

"What's the matter, what about the majesty of the day, what about the people of the government, why didn't any of them come to save you" The one-eyed mountain bandit sneered.

Mei Xiaoren was silent, now that she fell into their hands alone, if she was not careful, she would be more than lucky, she didn't have to care what the mountain bandits said, just think about how she should get out.

"Aren't you very good at tricks, why don't you speak" The one-eyed mountain bandit stood in front of her with his hands crossed, and his expression returned to his former demeanor.

"You kidnapped me here just to be prestigious," Mei Xiaoren said indifferently.

"Of course not, I tied you up to sacrifice your life to my brothers."

"If you don't take them with you to do evil, they won't die."

The one-eyed mountain bandit laughed a few times, "Say that we are doing evil, but what if you are an official, what can you do if you make meritorious service to suppress bandits, now it is planted in the hands of Lao Tzu, it is not a dead end"

Mei Xiaoren said calmly: "I know that I came to Jinzhou on business to visit the Yamen, and on the way I came, I have left a mark all the way, and they will be able to find them soon, either you kill me now, or you will wait to be captured." ”

After all, it was a life-threatening time, Mei Xiaoren was admittedly weak in her heart, but she had to force herself to remain calm, and she couldn't let these two people see the slightest fear, otherwise they would become even worse.

Mei Xiaoren knew that the hatred in the heart of the one-eyed mountain bandit was big, how could he be willing to kill her now, she said this, just hoping that she would realize the crisis and then lock her up in another place.

There were just two of them, and as long as she could get out of this pillar, she would have a chance to escape.

"You don't scare Lao Tzu, stay here, Lao Tzu wants to see who will come to save you"
