81. Confrontation (2nd Update)
Everyone surrounded the one-eyed dragon and Mrs. Lee.
Asakusa shouted: "His name is Hu Yigun, and he is a fugitive slave from our Meng family." ”
"Fugitive slaves?"
Li Xiaoqi and Jiang Erlang were deeply puzzled, but this was not the time to ask about the Meng family's family affairs, and rescuing Mrs. Li was the most important thing.
Li Xiaoqi said: "Let go of my mother!" ”
In this case, where is Hu Yigun willing to let go, looking at the tension of these carriages, subordinates and monks in the temple, you can judge that Mrs. Li's status is precious, and it is best to be a hostage.
Mrs. Li was panicked and scared, with a knife against her neck, she didn't dare to move casually, and her face turned white with fright.
After all, Jiang Erlang was older, more calm than Li Xiaoqi, and said: "This Mrs. Li is the wife of Zhongcheng in the imperial history, and the Li family is a famous family in Huizhou, don't act rashly, if you hurt your wife at all, be careful of your life." ”
Hu grabbed Mrs. Li with a shot and said in a deep voice: "As long as you don't mess around, I naturally won't hurt her." ”
Jiang Erlang turned around and beckoned to Asakusa, and after calling over, he asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
Asakusa first said the name and identity of Hu Yigun, and then said that he plotted to kill the main family, and escaped after being caught, and the Bai family reported that the official office issued a sea arrest document to roughly say it, but did not mention the background of his being instigated, nor did he mention the specific murder process, after all, it was the ugly family of the Meng family, and there was a suspicion of brothers and sisters, so it was not easy to publicize.
After finishing speaking, she quickly added: "He also has a wife, named Yizhihua, the husband and wife fled together, only he was present at this time, and the Yizhihua didn't know where it went." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Erlang's heart moved, and he called the two warrior monks over again, and asked, "What is your situation?" ”
The two warrior monks talked about the recent thieves in the dining hall, and they waited for the rabbit for a few days, and finally caught the thief, and said it again.
Jiang Erlang had a bold guess in his heart.
At this time, Bai Rongxin and Bai Fuli from the Zen courtyard next door heard the movement, came out to check, and joined everyone.
Liu Zhixian, who lived a little farther away, also came to join in the fun with a few officials. The abbot of Ciguang Temple, who was the latest to act, also hurried over with many monks after receiving the news.
One of these two is the current manager of Shexian County, and the other is the host of the temple, both of them are responsible, and when they saw Mrs. Li being held hostage, they were also shocked and frightened, and they both shouted at Hu Yiji: "You thief, let go of Mrs. Li quickly!" ”
Hu took a few steps backwards with a shot, and the sharp knife in his hand grazed the oily skin on Mrs. Li's neck, oozing a trace of blood. Mrs. Li was in pain and snorted softly.
Li Xiaoqi suddenly became nervous and shouted: "Don't move!" ”
Everyone had to restrain their actions and didn't dare to force Hu to shoot again.
Jiang Erlang attached it to Li Xiaoqi's ear and said a few words softly. Although Li Xiaoqi was a little skeptical, he still nodded lightly.
Jiang Erlang took a few steps back and rubbed to the abbot's side.
Li Xiaoqi stabilized his mind and said to Hu Yiji: "We have no grievances with you, this time it must be an accident." I don't care who you are, I just want to keep my mother safe, and if you have any conditions, just bring them up. ”
Hu Yigun looked at everyone vigilantly, and said: "I only need a fast horse, some dry food and two hundred taels of silver, you let me go, don't chase me, and when I get to the bottom of the mountain, I will naturally release this lady back." ”
Li Xiaoqi said: "Fast horses, silver, I can give it to you immediately, dry food ......" He looked at the abbot.
While he was negotiating with Hu Yigun, the abbot was listening to Jiang Erlang's whispers, and according to his instructions, he quietly commanded a warrior monk to arrange another operation.
At this time, when he saw Li Xiaoqi coming over, he immediately continued: "Dry food is not a problem, it can be prepared in my temple immediately." ”
Hu Yigun said: "I'll only give you a quarter of an hour!" ”
The abbot hurriedly called a monk: "Go to the dining hall quickly and ask the fire-headed monk to prepare dry food." ”
The monk grabbed the corner of his coat and ran away as fast as he could.
Li Xiaoqi said: "We are all preparing things, you have to pay attention to it, don't hurt my mother again." ”
Mrs. Li's wound was not deep, and after leaving a little blood, it naturally stopped. Hu Yi's shot really didn't mean to hurt anyone, and seeing that the other party had a good attitude, he cooperated and moved the knife a little farther away from Mrs. Li's neck.
But Mrs. Li was so nervous and scared that her body went limp, and she kept slipping down.
Hu Yigun strangled her body with his arm, and it was inevitable that there would be some physical contact, which was quite indecent.
Li Xiaoqi was annoyed in his heart and said, "My mother is too weak to support, you might as well find a place to sit down." ”
Hu Yigun was also afraid that this lady would get in the way and drag down his movements, so he looked left and right a little, and the door of the Zen courtyard where Li Xiaoqi lived was crowded with people, but the gate of the Zen courtyard next door was open, deserted, and he could sit on the steps, so he dragged Mrs. Li over.
Li Xiaoqi commanded his subordinates and monks to make way for them.
After moving over, Hu Yigun sat on the upper step, spread his legs, put Mrs. Li in the middle, and let her sit on the next step.
Li Xiaoqi and the others surrounded them in the middle, forming an encirclement.
The two sides entered a brief quiet phase of confrontation.
At the same time, the Li family quickly brought a horse and a bag of silver. Li Xiaoqi was ready to hand over the horses and silver in person.
Hu Yigun shouted: "Don't move! ”
He glanced at everyone, pointed to Bai Xiuqing, who was standing behind Li Xiaoqi, and said, "Let her come!" ”
Bai Xiuqing was taken aback.
Li Xiaoqi turned around, looked at her gently, and said softly, "Please." ”
Bai Xiuqing only felt that a heart was like ice and snow melting, and it turned into a pool of spring water in an instant, for the sake of his sweetheart, what if he went up to the knife mountain and went down to the sea of fire, a warm blood rose in his chest, and he nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry." ”
She reached out to take the silver, and it sank into her hands, almost hitting the instep of her foot.
Two hundred taels of silver weigh twenty pounds.
How could Li Xiaoqi let a weak woman carry such a heavy thing, he put the silver on the horse's back and handed the reins to her.
Bai Xiuqing took the reins and walked forward cautiously.
As a result, the horse still had a little temper, recognized his life, and stood there motionless.
Bai Xiuqing tugged twice and turned back in embarrassment.
Li Xiaoqi had no choice but to walk over again and gently stroked the horse's neck: "Good horse, please leave it to you." ”
It turned out that not only the girls liked beautiful men, but also the animals, and the horses listened to his words and really obediently moved the horses' hooves.
Bai Xiuqing was able to lead it, walked up to Hu Yigun, and when he handed over the reins, his hands trembled like sifting chaff.
When Hu Yigun took the reins, she immediately turned her head back like a frightened rabbit and plunged into Li Xiaoqi's "arms".
Naturally, Li Xiaoqi didn't really hug her, but just reached out to help her, and then handed her over to a Li family servant behind him. The servant woman took her in her arms and comforted, "It's all right, it's all right."
And her series of frightened and embarrassing actions also distracted Hu Yigun's attention. He didn't even notice that the outermost monks who surrounded him had quietly dispersed; Including Jiang Erlang, Bai Rongxin and Asakusa, they are all gone at some point.
