According to the designation of the bandits, Fan Qingyi and his men took a boat to the agreed place.

Seeing that they were coming to four big ships, and there were many people standing on the deck, the water bandits were suspicious and asked them to move the silver to the designated oasis, and then let Fan Qingyi and his party leave by boat.

Xu Anan hasn't been found yet, how dare Fan Qingyi leave easily, how can she explain to the old lady when she goes back? So she begged the bandits to let her leave a boat to answer.

The second master of the water bandit thought to himself, the young grandmother inside said that the head of the Xu family didn't want Young Master Xu to go back safely, what if there was fraud in all this silver? So they allowed the Xu family to leave a boat, but only ten people and Fan Qingyi, who had the right to speak, could be left on the boat.

After the departure of the three large ships, the bandits began to open the boxes and inspect the goods, and after each box was inspected, they immediately moved the inspected goods to their ships. Seeing the water bandits of the silver ingots, their eyes were straight, but thinking of the rules of their organization, they were always disciplined in terms of money, so they swallowed their saliva and continued to move the goods.

Yu Xiaohuan and Xu An'an, who were in the bandit cabin, heard the movement outside and learned that Fan Qingyi had come to ransom them with ransom, and Xu An'an was very happy. He couldn't help but think, his luck was really good, the first young grandmother ransomed the goods and men for them, and now this young grandmother came to pay the ransom for him, his womanhood is really good, and the women he found are one by one!

Just when the bandits were about to be paralyzed by this blinding silver ingot, suddenly a water bandit screamed in surprise.

"Boss, this box is full of stones!"

Hearing this, the bearded man jumped off the deck, rushed over to take a look, and his face changed suddenly.

"Open all the other boxes!" He immediately commanded.

The stunned water bandits got the order and hurriedly acted.

"Boss, this box is also a stone!"

"Boss, it's the same here!"

“……”

Before the bandits could finish opening the box, the bearded man was already furious, and shouted, "Arrest all the people on the boat!" ”

"I don't know anything!" Fan Qingyi said with tears in her eyes.

But the water bandit is angry, where can I hear what she says.

The people on the boat, together with Fan Qingyi, were controlled by the bandits without the power to resist.

"You dare to play tricks with us, I think you are impatient!" The big man said viciously.

The guys begged for mercy: "We don't know anything, I'm just helping with the delivery!" ”

"How so?" Fan Qingyi was paralyzed, if it weren't for a water bandit with his arms, I am afraid that he would have fallen to the ground directly.

"The 200,000 taels that were said to be good, why is it less than half?" The big man stood in front of Fan Qingyi and asked.

"They said that there were 200,000 taels of silver on board, and I had not checked it." Fan Qingyi cried and cried, "I really don't know anything!" ”

In the bandit cabin, Yu Xiaohuan and Xu An'an, who heard the movement, also panicked.

Xu Anan shook Yu Xiaohuan's arm and asked in a panic, "What's the matter, what's wrong?" ”

In fact, when they heard the shout, it was all stones, but he was already so flustered that he asked questions to which he already knew the answer.

His gray life for more than ten years only saw the light not long ago. He faced his life with hope, and he really couldn't accept that his life was dark again! In the past, he always felt that he could still live if he was careful and humble; But now, in his eyes and heart, he only sees death coming.

"Peach Blossom, have you ever tried this kind of despair?" Xu An'an calmed down a little, but asked even more desperately, "I just touched the beauty of heaven, but I suddenly have to face the despair of hell!" ”

"When people live, there will always be tribulations of one kind or another." Yu Xiaohuan said after a long time, "Many people have not experienced your experience, but they may not have felt the same pain as you. ”

Xu Anan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and was stunned for a long time before he asked again: "Then are you afraid?" ”

Yu Xiaohuan shook his head and said indifferently: "Maybe I've seen too much of this ending." ”

Xu Anan didn't understand it even more.

The hatch opened, and two bandits entered, escorting them both out without saying a word.

"It seems that someone really wants your life!" The second leader of the water bandits stood in front of Yu Xiaohuan and Xu Anan and said.

"Could it be that the dignified water bandits are in charge, and they want to be led by others?" Yu Xiaohuan said calmly.

When the bearded man of the water bandit heard this, he took two steps over and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Two hundred thousand taels of ransom, half of which is stone." Yu Xiaohuan was very calm, and said as if he had seen it with his own eyes, "It means that someone wants to provoke you and make you kill us in a fit of anger." Since this person can drop 100,000 taels, it is not a problem to drop all 200,000 taels. However, he is afraid that you will not get anything, so he will not give up and continue to look for trouble with the Xu family, just like you couldn't get the money last time, so you tied me up with Young Master Xu this time. Therefore, they have left you a hundred thousand taels, and when you have killed us, you will calm your anger and trouble them no more. ”

"According to what you say, is it because the Xu family doesn't want you to live?" The water bandit boss asked.

"No, the old lady of the Xu family must have prepared enough 200,000 taels of silver to ransom her only grandson, but after all, she is old and can't do many things herself, so someone took advantage of this loophole and greedy." Yu Xiaohuan said with certainty, "But this person who exploits loopholes must have a lot to do with the Xu family, he wants to get the Xu family's wealth, and naturally he doesn't want to have water bandits at both ends of the next three days to trouble them." ”

After talking to the bandits, Yu Xiaohuan turned around and asked Fan Qingyi: "Did grandmother hand over this matter to Manager Xu to deal with?" ”

"Good...... It seems to be. Fan Qingyi hasn't recovered from her panic yet, "She just looked for me yesterday and asked me to deliver the ransom, and I don't know what happened before." ”

"Then you suddenly returned to Xu's house, was it the arrangement of Manager Xu?" Yu Xiaohuan asked again.

Faced with Yu Xiaohuan's surprise question, Fan Qingyi was stunned, looked at Yu Xiaohuan in a daze, and wondered how she knew, but forgot to deny it for herself.

At this time, Xu Anan was also completely stunned. How could he have imagined that this cowardly and weak woman turned out to be the eyeliner that others put beside him. Hey, I thought people really liked him.

Fan Qingyi realized that she had inadvertently acquiesced, and hurriedly knelt down to Xu An'an and Yu Xiaohuan, crying: "But, since I entered the Xu family, I have never done anything to be sorry for you, and I have never told Manager Xu about the things in our courtyard!" ”

Yu Xiaohuan pursed her lips and said in her heart: Hey, this is admitted, it's too boring.
