Chapter 80: Bandits
"Good man, if they don't have us to serve them a table later, I'm afraid they will be suspicious, or ...... You let us go and we'll bring the food to the table......"
The woman was afraid that Qi Mo would not believe it, so she swore by God.
"Don't worry, we won't expose you, we also want to live, you are good people at first glance, and when the time comes, we will destroy this gang of bandits and ask you to put us back."
At first glance, this woman is not an ordinary peasant woman, but she seems to have seen a lot of the world, and her words do not seem to be false......
"Okay. There are still a lot of people guarding the foot of our mountain, so you'd better be honest and obedient, if I know you're complicit with those bandits......"
Qi Mo didn't finish his words, but the deterrent effect was obvious, and the lame man and the woman obviously believed it, and responded one after another.
In the evening, the bandits gathered together to drink, and Qi Mo and the three guards hid in the dark to observe the movements below.
"Grandma, let us go to this place where birds don't, and tell us to guard this mountain, what is there in this mountain? Is there a gold mine? ”
"Don't let us go out to rob often, and we can't kill people, and we said that we would give silver to silver, but in the past two months, the silver has been broken for us! Not even a. ”
"That's it, I'm going to give him a disgrace this time! Otherwise, I think you are a bully! But ah, there are several mothers-in-law who came up from the mountain this time, all of them are young, and the brothers can ...... after eating wine."
The people in the cottage talked a lot, probably because they were dissatisfied with the people behind them, and they all showed a bad smile when they heard such a proposal.
Qi Mo felt that it was not simple, guarding this mountain? Maybe there's really a mine down there? Maybe it's gold, but it's a lot of minerals, like saltpeter.
After a while, the group drank and gurgled and poured it down on the table.
There are a total of eighteen people in this cottage, there are not too many people, but they are all stained with blood and don't want to die, if it really fights, it's really a bit troublesome, and it's the best way to stun people.
Qi Mo waved his hand, and the three guards hurriedly found a rope to tie people up.
Qi Mo raised his jaw and asked the lame man and the woman to lead the way to find the person who was caught up the mountain by the bandits.
Qi Mo didn't bother to look for the key anymore, so he took a knife in his hand and split the door lock, and the people inside didn't see who came in, so he screamed in fright, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, and he hugged himself tightly together.
"Don't be afraid, we're here to save you." Qi Mo glanced at the crowd, swept past Sun Xiucai and Qi Lan's family, and finally saw the little boy squatting in the corner, "Hey, little boy, meet again." ”
The little boy raised his head hesitantly, and was stunned after seeing Qi Mo's face clearly, pointed at Qi Mo and stammered, "You...... You, you, you......"
Qi Mo's smile was even bigger: "What are you!" I told you that you would encounter ghosts when you walk too much at night, but you still don't believe it! Look, you've encountered something scarier than a ghost! ”
Qi Mo didn't look at the little boy who was so angry that his face was blue and white for a while, and walked out with a knife on his shoulder.
"If you want to live, keep up."
When the people trapped here heard this, they hurriedly rushed out, and the little boy waved his sleeves and followed.
This matter is very important and deeply involved, Qi Mo can't trust the group of guards sent by Prince Ren, and he didn't torture this group of people in front of them, but he doesn't know what the situation is like when he brings people back to Yuanjing.
"You go to the nearest yamen, find someone to escort this group of people away, and take them to Yuanjing when the time comes, and you send them to the inn at the bottom of the mountain."
The two guards who were ordered were very hesitant: "Master, my subordinates have been ordered to come to protect you, if we leave, ......"
"Isn't there another person here?" Qi Mo pointed to the guards behind him, "Besides, this group of people is like this, it's okay." ”
The two guards couldn't resist Qi Mo, so they had to take people down the mountain.
The little boy fell at the end, and when he saw Qi Mo looking at him suspiciously, he said softly: "Don't die on this mountain, otherwise it will be a shame to say that you will go out and take it, and if you can't save people, you will fold yourself in." ”
Qi Mo shook his head with a smile, and made a gesture to kick him: "Stinky boy, don't get out of here!" ”
The little boy covered his ass and followed the person in front of him with a smoke.
drove away all the people who could be driven, Qi Mo called and called the remaining guard to fetch cold water, and gave the scar man his head and feet, and when he saw that the person was about to wake up, he broke the guard away again.
"Awake?" Qi Mo looked at the scar man with a smile, "Say, who released you, you should be a death row prisoner." ”
"I told you what good did you give me? It's not dead yet! The scar man tilted his head to the side, looking like he was not saying anything.
"At least I can make you feel better." Qi Mo sighed, moved a stool and sat in front of the scar man, "Tell me about you, you have no force, you can't reimburse the country well, come to kill people and intercept goods, it's really not interesting to live." ”
Qi Mo knew that some people couldn't make sense, so he sighed and didn't say more, and directly took a chopstick from the table next to him and poked the scar man's thigh, only to hear the scar man immediately exhale in pain.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, participated in many battles of all sizes, and met a few traitors, and gradually developed his own method of extorting confessions by torture.
On weekdays, in the barracks, Qi Mo didn't have any severance at all, but when he tortured people, no one dared to approach him, it was really too terrifying.
After a while, the scar man softened: "I'll recruit me, I'll recruit ......"
Qi Mo pulled the chopsticks out of the scarred man's leg, threw them aside, and patted his hands easily, sighing as if he was very disappointed: "You recruited it so quickly?" I'm not using a killer yet. ”
The scar man is a thorn in the head, and he can be regarded as backbone in comparison, but he really can't stand Qi Mo's torture, and the pain is better than death.
The scar man reluctantly replied, "It's Wang Ping." ”
"Wang Ping......"
Qi Mo read it in a low voice, and there were some memories in his mind.
This Wang Ping is a serious imperial merchant in Yuanjing, specializing in saltpeter business, and Yada is their branch.
"He saved you too?"
"I don't know, we were masked at the time, and it was his people who came to give us silver after that." Speaking of this, the scar man is obviously angry in his heart.
Qi Mo ignored his emotions and asked again: "You should know why Wang Ping let you come out to rob from time to time, but didn't let you hurt people, why did he arrest people today?" Besides, the little boy didn't look like an ordinary person when he heard it. ”
It stands to reason that the man with the scar knows how to sow discord, he should have a brain, and he shouldn't act so impulsively.
"Then Wang Ping cut off our silver two months ago, and the food is gone, what do we want to eat?"
The scar man tilted his head and snorted coldly.
"That little boy's name is Wang Siyuan, and he is Wang Ping's son. We don't force him, he doesn't know what to do! If he still wants to use us, he will naturally settle things for us, and if not, then we will take the money from him and flee. Anyway, we're all outlaws, so it's a gamble! ”
Qi Mo's heart moved, Wang Ping? It's from Prince Ren's side. No wonder this group of guards followed themselves to save people without saying a word, daring to love is a matter of their own master.
You must know that Wang Ping Xuxian married the niece of Prince Ren and Princess Ren, poor Prince Ren's niece, she lost her parents at a young age, and was later married to such a person by her own uncle and aunt, and she can almost be her father.
Qi Mo sighed, the current matter is indispensable to be solved.
"You have this backbone, don't go to the army to defend the country, and come to slaughter the brothers and sisters of the big cadres, do you think I should spare you?"
Qi Mo stared at the scarred man's heart, as if he was unaware of his fear, he actually hooked his lips and smiled, picked up a knife from the ground at random to play with, and changed to that casual tone.
"I forgot, all of you are martial arts, and you are all outlaws, but I'm afraid that the yacha who will come up the mountain will not be able to control you later."
The scar man was frightened: "You...... What are you doing? ”
Qi Mo put a smile on his face, swung the knife and gave the scar man a knife on his right arm, and a knife to those unconscious bandits, all of them were on the right arm, and they were very well measured, and the continuous meridians did not hurt the bones, but they couldn't hold the knife.
And the person who was separated by Qi Mo also came back at this time, Qi Mo ignored his frightened gaze, and ordered lightly: "See if there is a callus on their right hand, and there is a left hand, the cocoon marks on that hand are heavier, if the left hand tells me, make up for it again." ”
Then he went to rest.
Qi Mo actually doesn't want to get blood, thinking that his unborn child doesn't want to get blood, but he has to show those people in Yuanjing who have intentions, he Qi Mo is back! He Qi Mo is even more difficult to mess with!
As soon as Qi Ruo woke up, he inquired with the guards about Qi Mo's whereabouts, and hurried over here.
She was afraid of causing trouble to Qi Mo, and she didn't dare to go up the mountain, so she could only find a hidden place to hide at the foot of the mountain, and finally waited for someone to come down in the middle of the night, but she couldn't see Qi Mo when she looked left and right.
"Where's Ah Mo? Little boy, have you seen my husband? ”
"Don't worry, he's fine, he's guarding the bandits in the mountains."
The little boy is a little worse tempered and willful on weekdays, but his nature is not bad.
The guards who were sent to the yamen by Qi Mo reported their whereabouts and left with the head of the guards, while the other guard began to explain what happened after they went up the mountain.
Qi Ruozheng listened carefully, but was suddenly grabbed by someone's hand, she panicked, and couldn't help but take a step back, but saw that it was a woman who had just escaped from the bandits' den.
The guards on the side were about to draw their swords to protect her, but she stopped them in time.
"Auntie, is there something wrong?"
This aunt Qi Ruo felt a little familiar, but she didn't recognize it by the faint candle flame that was flickering slowly, but she felt that the red pox on this woman's face was a little strange.
The woman trembled and didn't speak for a long time, and she didn't let go of Qi Ruo's hand at all.
After a long time, I heard her hesitate: "You...... Can you know peonies? And also...... Little Peach ......"
