Chapter 38: A Chance Encounter at the Inn

Ji Yanning asked, "There are a lot of them?"

The girl shook her head: "I don't know, no one knows how many of them there are, but even the officers and soldiers can't deal with them." ”

Ji Yanning's eyebrows sank slightly.

While they were talking, Ji Jiu had already returned, captured three alive, and the other two kept resisting, and Ji Jiu could only solve them.

He escorted the three people forward and came to Ji Yanning.

Ji Yanning glanced at them, their dress and martial arts looked like they were all wild people, they should be bandits nearby, but she didn't understand, if they were just simple bandits, how could they have such courage to be enemies of the imperial court?

She asked, "Why are you arresting this girl?"

The three of them looked at each other, bowed their heads and did not speak.

Ji Yanning's tone was cold: "If the tongue is not used to speak, then cut it off." ”

Listening to Ji Yanning's words, the bodies of the three people couldn't help but tremble slightly, they knew very well that the woman in front of them was by no means a good stubble, she would kill if she said it, without the slightest hesitation, and now she said that she wanted to cut off their tongues, and it was definitely not just a scare.

They wept and said, "Grandma spare our lives! We are just doing what we are told! These are not what we want to do, so let the woman spare us......"

"Who forced you? 1510 to make things clear. Ji Yanning asked.

Those people didn't dare not say anything, so they had to tell what had happened.

They turned out to be bandits on the West Mountain, and in the past, they occasionally robbed passers-by, but they didn't dare to do such things as killing people and robbing sex, and passers-by were robbed of money in order not to cause trouble, and they rarely went to report the crime, so they have been living in a mess.

Suddenly, one day, some people came to their great masters, with a box of silver, and said that if the people in the village were willing to do things for them, they would definitely give them a lot of benefits.

They asked the people in the village to catch a hundred girls who had not left the cabinet for them, and at the beginning, the big boss was still a little hesitant, and those people said that they would solve the problem on the side of the government, and no one would embarrass the brothers in the village.

eliminated his worries, and the big boss, who saw the money, naturally agreed.

At the beginning, they were still a little restrained, afraid that others would see them captive girls, and gradually did more, so they began to have no scruples, and the county order took officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the village, and those people beat them away, and the people in the village became more and more presumptuous.

Later, the prefect personally came to investigate the case, and those unidentified people originally wanted to win over the prefect, but the prefect refused viciously, and promised that they would be punished, but he didn't expect that a few days later, the prefect's wife and children died.

Now no one in the entire Hengcheng City dares to oppose them, let alone the people in these villages and towns.

Now they have arrested more than 80 girls, and there are still more than a dozen of them, and the big bosses are urging them so hard that they only have to find girls who have not left the cabinet everywhere.

"What is their origin?" asked Ji Yanning.

The three bandits shook their heads in unison and said, "We just follow the orders of the big boss to do things, as for the origin of those people, we naturally can't know." ”

Ji Yanning asked again: "Where did they hide all the people?"

They shook their heads again: "Every time they catch someone they hide in a wagon and take them away, we don't know where they are hiding, but not in our stockade." ”

Ji Yanning asked, "How many of them are there?"

The bandit continued to shake his head: "There were several people when they came, but sometimes the faces were different, so we don't know how many of them there were. ”

I really don't know.

Seeing that there was nothing else to ask from their mouths, Ji Yanning took out a small medicine bottle, pinched their jaws with his hand to make them open their mouths, and then fed each of them a pill.

"What did you give us to eat?" asked one of the men.

Ji Yanning hooked his lips and smiled: "Poison." ”

The three of them turned pale.

"Don't worry, you can't die yet. Ji Yanning comforted them and said, "It's just that if you don't take the antidote after seven days, you will bleed and die violently." ”

She said it so obviously, how could those three people not know her intentions.

Because they were still valuable, she didn't let them die immediately.

"What do you want us to do?"

"Don't be nervous, you can do it. Ji Yanning took out a packet of medicinal powder and handed it to them, "If any more girls are arrested, you will find a way to put this thing on their bodies." ”

The man kneeling in the middle stretched out his hand and took what she had handed him tremblingly.

He asked, "Then how do we explain the deaths of other people......

"It's your business, you have to figure it out for yourself. Ji Yanning said indifferently.

The three men bowed their heads.

Ji Yanning's gaze turned to the pair of brothers and sisters: "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”

After saving the brother and sister, Ji Yanning did not continue to hurry, but went towards the nearby county seat.

Although Ji Jiu was a little worried, looking at the eldest lady's appearance that could not be refused, he could only obey.

The two brothers and sisters are in a small business, have no power and power, and only want to protect their daughter before they want to send her away to avoid the limelight, who would have thought that they would meet those thieves on the road.

Watching their son and daughter come back, listening to them talk about the thrill just now, the couple could only wipe their tears sadly, kowtow and thank Ji Yanning again.

Ji Yanning hurriedly helped them up: "As far as I'm concerned, it's just a gesture, you don't have to be like this, it's just that it's better for someone else to go out these days." ”

The couple nodded, and after this incident, they naturally didn't dare to let their daughter go into danger anymore.

Ji Yanning came out of his brother and sister's house and led people to the inn.

A hundred innocent maidens, she can't turn a blind eye.

There were few pedestrians on the street, mostly young men or old people, and at a glance, they could not find a young girl.

When Ji Yanning walked into the inn, the guests in the lobby of the inn gradually quieted down, their eyes stayed on her body, moving with her figure.

At this time, the shopkeeper stepped forward: "Girl, is this a sharp or a hotel?"

Ji Jiudao: "Live in the hotel." ”

The shopkeeper answered yes, and walked to the second floor with Ji Yanning.

The people in the lobby looked at each other, except for the people sitting at the table in the corner, everyone's expressions were a little unnatural.

"The girl stayed. A man dressed in black who was sitting in the corner spoke.

Ji Yanning paused and looked back at him.

A few * got up and walked in the direction of Ji Yanning, but before they could get close to Ji Yanning, they were blocked by Ji Jiu.

"What do you want to do?" Ji Jiu said in a deep voice, his tone quite dissatisfied.

The man laughed twice, his eyes were still looking at Ji Yanning: "I just want to take the girl to a better place to live." ”

The big boss told them to bring back a few women today, but after coming out and turning around several times, they couldn't even see a sow, let alone a girl.

Seeing that Ji Yanning is a rich lady, with two good-looking maidservants, but there are only four guards around her, they naturally want to start.

Ji Yanning ignored them and turned his head to look at the shopkeeper: "Take me to the guest room." ”

Several men were ignored, and they laughed secretly in their hearts, and then stretched out their hands to grab Ji Yanning, but they were pushed away by Ji Jiuyi.

The man raised his fist and was about to greet Ji Jiu's face, but Ji Jiu kicked him on the knee and half-knelt on the ground.

"Trouble on our turf, brothers, let him taste our awes!" said the beaten man through gritted teeth.

Ji Jiu shouted outside the inn: "Come on, protect the eldest lady!"

As soon as his words fell, more than twenty guards were attacked from the outside, and everyone in the hall was startled, and they all stood up and hid aside, for fear that they would cause trouble to themselves if they fought.

There were only six people on the other side, so naturally they were not the opponents of the Ji family's guards, and they had already been knocked down before they could react, and they were subjected to countless punches and kicks.

"This ......," the shopkeeper was speechless.

Ji Yanning said: "Don't worry about the shopkeeper, we will compensate for the broken things." ”

Shopkeeper: "......"

That's not what he's worried about!

Ji Yanning said to Ji Jiu: "Waste their legs and throw them out, don't dirty the inn." ”

After speaking, he walked up to the second floor, and the shopkeeper hurriedly followed forward to lead the way for this little ancestor who didn't know the height of the sky.

The eldest lady spoke, and the guards of the Ji family naturally didn't have any scruples, they directly broke the legs of the bandits, and then threw them out of the inn.

The people who watched the play gasped, and they didn't dare to come out, looking at those arrogant arresting bandits who were arrogant on weekdays, and now they were taught a lesson, they felt that they had finally breathed a bad breath.

Suddenly, I don't know who silently threw a rotten egg at them from the crowd, everyone was stunned, and then threw the rotten rotten egg at their hands violently.

"Scum! bastard!"

"Die!"

Under the curses and siege of everyone, several bandits felt that life was worse than death, they were injured all over their bodies, and their legs were broken, and they couldn't escape at all, so they could only grit their teeth and run forward little by little, trying to get out of here.

One moment it was majestic, and the next moment it became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat it.

If they don't meet their companions, they will have to crawl back to the stockade like this!

Everyone's eyes were attracted by these bandits, and only one of them looked at the direction in which Ji Yanning disappeared from view and was slightly stunned.

The next moment, his deep eyes became clear, and he muttered in confusion, "Why is she here?"

"Master, Miss Ji is doing this, I'm afraid that those people won't let her go. Flying Eagle said from the side.

Hearing Feiying's words, Rong Che did not hesitate and said, "You take my warrant and transfer troops from Situ Feng." ”

"But master, Qiu Li returned to Chang'an with the antidote, if his subordinates leave again, there is no secret guard around the master, I am afraid that they will be unfavorable to the master. ”

"Go ahead, come back sooner to settle the matter sooner. Rong Che interrupted him, the command in his tone that could not be refuted.

Eagle: "Yes." ”
