181. The thief caught the wrong person

Liu Ye received a letter from Wang Yuhe and finally knew the return date.

And she sighed again at this moment, fortunately she saved Brother Ding'er, otherwise she would have what face to face Wang Yuhe.

Liu Ye thought, if she held her breath again, she would be able to relax, as long as Miss came back, Wang Zhi would come back, and she would be relieved.

To be honest, she doesn't know how she's managed to survive these months. In addition to wanting to break his head to increase the income of the shop, he also has to deal with the difficulties of the shopkeepers, which is really a bitter tear.

Just when Liu Ye was looking forward to Wang Yuhe's return, they also encountered trouble on the road.

Originally, I had already walked halfway along the way, and I was about to the vicinity of Red Kite City, but this time I took the land route and didn't need to go through Red Kite City. When the carriage was driving on a mountain road, it encountered a landslide, which was not too serious, but the road was blocked.

Wang Yuhe was like an arrow, and he wanted to let the convoy take a detour and continue to move forward, but Han Lei thought that he should stay here and wait for the road to clear.

Because the landslide was only caused by the rain a few days ago, now that the weather is clear, it only takes a day to clear the road.

"Although I have never walked this road, but after reading the map, I also know that there are some barren mountains around, and it is said that there are bandits entrenched here, so let's not take risks, there are too many women in the convoy." Han Lei said, looking at Wang Yuhe very seriously.

Although he really wanted to go back quickly, what Han Lei said was not unreasonable, so he looked at Wang Zhi: "Steward Wang is running around a lot, what do you see?" ”

Wang Zhi thought for a while and said, "What my uncle said makes sense, safety is still the first thing." ”

Wang Yuhe sighed and said, "Then find a place to stay in the surrounding area, send someone over to keep an eye on the point, when it will be passed, and when will we leave." ”

Han Lei showed a smile, very satisfied that Wang Zhi agreed with his point of view.

So Wang Zhi sent people to explore the surrounding towns to see if there was a suitable place for the team to stay. The convoy slowly walked back during this time.

After a while, the two of them came back and reported that there was a town in the east and west where they could rest, and the inn in the town on the west side was larger than the one on the west.

Wang Yuhe decided to go to the town to the west.

When the convoy entered the town, it was already dark, but fortunately, Wang Zhi had come to the inn before, so the convoy drove the carriage directly into the backyard of the inn, and settled down briefly, and the meals had been set up in the lobby, but the meals of Wang Yuhe and Han Lei and others were directly brought to the room.

Wang Yuhe was naturally wearing a hat when she got out of the car, and at first glance, she was dressed as a woman, and she was dressed in plain clothes, and everyone with a discerning eye knew that she was guarding filial piety.

Han Lei has always been very considerate outside, and he got in the car to pick him up along the way, and he was very attentive.

And the delicate appearance of Begonia, who was also dressed in plain clothes, was noticed by a caring person.

Haitang was wearing Wang Yuhe's spare plain clothes, which distinguished other maids, and because of Han Lei, she was given a girl to serve, and some time ago Han Lei was afraid that she would be exposed to the sun and rain, so she sat in a carriage, and at first glance I thought she was a young lady.

When the room was assigned, except for the little girl who served her, no one wanted to share a room with her, so she occupied a room alone, which deepened the misunderstanding of others.

The inn is called Jucai, Wang Yuhe is a little disliked, it stands to reason that the inn always wants to be comfortable and auspicious, why should this family want money?

Seeing Wang Yuhe's frown, the shopkeeper explained: "This guest officer, our inn is mainly a caravan of merchants, and everyone wants to make money, isn't this trying to make the guest officials happy!" ”

Wang Yuhe was relieved and nodded.

Wang Zhi vaguely felt that something was wrong, but now that the people and horses had settled down, it was not appropriate to mobilize the people, not to mention that the weather had already darkened, and it was too late to change to another inn.

With this vigilance, Wang Zhi arranged for a few henchmen to take care of the luggage and carriage at night, and he sat in the house with the door slightly open, observing the house opposite Wang Yuhe and Han Lei, and did not sleep all night.

He did hear some movement in the middle of the night, but he only focused on the other side and didn't pay much attention to it.

When I was about to leave the next morning, I found that the begonia was gone, and only the unconscious little girl was left in the house.

The innkeeper's eyes flickered, and he hesitated: "This ...... The guest officer has lost a young lady, do you want to report it? ”

Wang Zhi's eyes narrowed.

"Can the shopkeeper take a step to speak?"

"The guest officer, please speak in the house." The shopkeeper knew that he couldn't get out of it, so he simply invited Wang Zhi into the inner room.

"The shopkeeper seems to have something to hide, or rather, to know something." Wang Zhi said in a low voice.

"This ...... Guest officer, in fact, there has always been a group of bandits near our town, and they won't start in our inn on weekdays, this time ......" The shopkeeper looked left and right, and lowered his voice again: "Look at the technique, it should be that the young lady of your family fell into the eyes of that group of people and was taken captive to be the lady of the village." ”

Wang Zhi twisted his eyebrows, what should I do, looked at the shopkeeper's careless eyes, then stuffed a silver ingot over, and asked: "It doesn't seem to be the first time this kind of thing, what is the saying in the middle?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and tightened his sleeves, leaned into Wang Zhi's ear and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry, since this group of people steals people like this, they don't intend to ruin the reputation of the young lady, and they won't move." They are mainly seeking money, and they should send someone to negotiate later, and as long as they pay a certain price, they can still come back with all their tails. If the money is not enough...... Just don't have this daughter, or you will admit this family business. ”

Wang Zhi suddenly snorted coldly: "Admit this family business? ”

The shopkeeper involuntarily raised his eyebrows, what's going on with this group of people, no one is crying about such a big thing, no one is rushing to report to the official, and even only a person in charge comes to ask, and he is careless......

Wang Zhi smiled incomprehensibly, knowing that there was something wrong with the shopkeeper.

After thinking about it, let's give him, oh no, a message to the guys.

"Since they want to accept that girl, just let it be, it can be regarded as the creation of that girl." Wang Zhi said casually.

The shopkeeper opened his mouth wide, shook his head, and said puzzledly: "This ...... How to ......"

"Oh, it's nothing," Wang Zhi explained: "My master went home to mourn, and on the way back, he met the girl who sold herself to bury her father. Isn't this even a girl she bought, but because she didn't even have a decent dress, the master gave her a plain dress. ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, and his face turned white in disbelief: "Can ...... But the girl still has someone to serve? ”

"It's not that she's too sad, she's not in good health, so I'm looking for someone to take care of her first, and I've spent a lot of money in the end!" Wang Zhi smiled heartily.

The corner of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched: "This ...... That's ......."

Wang Zhi smiled: "Now it depends on how much that group of people wants, it's more...... Just as if that girl has no fate with us, there is no ...... Let's see what that girl means. I signed it for ten years before, and if I paid her again, I would have to sign it for another five years. ”

The shopkeeper's body shrunk, and he said with a smile: "This ...... They really looked away. ”

"Yes......" Wang Zhi thought to himself, is this a blessing in disguise?

In the mountains and forests not far away, there are a few thatched huts, and basically no one passes here on weekdays, and people nearby know that this is a place where nearby bandits rest.

At this moment, more than two dozen people were sitting or standing around the house, most of them with hippie smiles, but these people's eyes would look at the grass hut from time to time.

Haitang opened her eyes in a daze, feeling a headache, and the scene in front of her made her a little confused.

She blinked, and her vision became clearer.

The dilapidated room was full of air, dust was everywhere on the floor and furniture, and three men sat at the rough wooden table not far away.

Begonia was stupid, and moved instinctively, only then did she realize that she was tied hand and foot, and she also stuffed a handkerchief in her mouth, and fell on a pile of thatch at the moment.

At this movement, the men at the table heard the voice, and one of them turned his head to look at it, and bared his teeth and smiled: "Oh, our little sister-in-law has woken up!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you haven't decided who yet!" The man next to him pushed him.

"Oh, you're still blushing!" The man who had just spoken laughed.

"Where, I haven't shown the eldest brother yet, who knows if the eldest brother will look up to it."

"Come on, big brother doesn't like this!"

The three of them giggled, but Haitang was startled, and her last memory was still before going to bed, and she instructed Yahuan to pour herself footwater...... She has never been served by others in her life, she is full of longing for the future, vaguely feels that she should be rich and noble, and has a good dream.

Who knew that waking up was like this......

Begonia shed tears in fear, oh my God, who will save her!

She just doesn't want to be poor anymore, she just doesn't want to be a cow and a horse anymore and she doesn't have enough food and clothing, so she has a little bit of thoughts that she shouldn't have, is it really a crime that deserves death? Does this deserve to happen?

The first man to speak came crookedly and squatted down, so frightened that Begonia quickly shrank back, but she was tied hand and foot, where could she retreat.

"Little girl, don't be afraid, you won't be okay for the time being, but I don't know if there will be anything later." The man looked Begonia up and down as he spoke, and then said with a smile: "It depends on what price your family is willing to pay to ransom you!" ”

"Did you send a letter to the inn?" The man looked at Haitang, but asked in his mouth.

"I've already sent someone to deliver it, and there will be news in a while." The man at the table replied.

"Good ......" the man smiled, still saying to Haitang: "I hope your family is more sensible, and you can have less pain in flesh and skin." ”

Haitang slowly understood the man's words, and felt that the world was spinning for a while, and she knew what her identity was. If she already has something to do with Han Lei, she is still sure that Han Lei's character will pay a ransom for herself. But now the two of them have only spoken a few more words, and they haven't even said a word in the past few days......

Oh, my God! Begonia fainted, and until then there was a glimmer of hope, and when she woke up again, she found that it was just a nightmare......
