Lu Li could understand the king's angry and anxious mood now, he was not affected by the king's anger in the slightest, but still calmly analyzed: "They set the trading location not far from the palace, even if they don't know Hua Li's identity, don't these thieves know that the palace is heavily guarded?" ”

"Since they dare to set the location not far from the palace, it means that they are ready, and the person sent to get the money is definitely not afraid of death, so even if the king withholds the person who came with the money, he can't exterminate all the thieves in one fell swoop."

These thieves are doing all the things of licking blood on the tip of the knife, and they have long put life and death out of the way, so how can they be afraid of the king?

After Lu Li's analysis, Wang Shang calmed down a little, he took a deep breath, and instructed the guard: "Go to the city and have a look, urge Li Lin to come quickly, and discuss with him on important matters." ”

"Yes!"

The guards led the order and left, and the king waved his sleeves and looked at Lu Li, "Let's go, go to the house to discuss." ”

He knew Lu Li's ability to govern the army and lead the troops, so this time, as long as he could negotiate a foolproof plan, he would be able to easily rescue people and exterminate the bandits.

However, the terrain outside Bei'an City is complicated, and Lu Li is not clear, so he has to invite Li Lin to come so that we can discuss a plan together.

Lu Li nodded, made a gesture of please, and asked the king to go in, and then he followed.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Man suddenly called.

Wang Shang, who was walking in front, stopped, turned around and frowned and glanced at Xiao Man, "What's wrong?" ”

"Can I go in?" Xiao Man's eyes were full of tears, full of pleading, "Even if I don't know anything about this, I want to hear it, otherwise I really don't feel at ease......"

The other party's request is reasonable, after all, the stolen things still contain the clothes of Xiaoman's shop, and the woman who was fed poison also has a great relationship with Xiaoman.

Therefore, the king nodded lightly, "Come in." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Man gratefully followed the two in, and then chose the most inconspicuous position to sit down, and quietly listened to the two discuss the rescue of Hua Li and Wang Youhe.

Wang Shang lived in the palace for a long time, and he didn't know the movements of the bandits near the city, so at the beginning, the two could only plan in the worst direction, so that after Li Lin arrived, they could directly inform each other of the plan, and let Li Lin, who knew the movements of the bandits, judge whether the plan was feasible or not.

By far the easiest and safest way is to truthfully put 100,000 taels of silver in that alley, and then follow the bandits who took the money, so that they can enter the bandits' lair and rescue people.

But this method also has very obvious drawbacks, that is, Wang Youhe was fed poison, if the thieves resist stubbornly and insist on not giving Wang Youhe the antidote, or feeding Wang Youhe a fake antidote, it is also possible.

The poison has a three-day period, and they must find the most reasonable way within three days to protect Wang Youhe's life.

"Wow-"

A rush of footsteps sounded, and the three people in the room all looked towards the door, but after a moment's effort, Li Lin, who was dressed in green clothes, pushed the door in, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute the king.

"Hurry up." Wang Shang hurriedly got up and walked in front of Li Lin, informed the other party of the thief's detention of Hua Li and Wang Youhe, and also told the plan he and Lu Li came up with by the way.

After speaking, Wang Shang looked at the other party anxiously and said: "Gu has never dealt with the bandits, and he doesn't know the details of the other party, so he specially transferred you here, so that I can know their manpower, strength, and what the situation is on the mountain where they are located, and it will also facilitate our next move." ”

After receiving so much information for a while, Li Lin didn't react for a short time, he thought for a while before frowning and nodded, "The king is right, if you act rashly now, it will only cause the other party to be angry, and then hurt Hua Li and Miss Wang." ”

"That's why Lone came to you!" Wang Shang was a little anxious and said, "Li Lin, tell me quickly, what is the method that Gu and Lu Li are thinking?" ”

Li Lin asked: "The bandit only said that he was trading in an alley outside the palace, but did not explain the method of the transaction and the time of the transaction. ”

"Didn't you say in three days?" Xiaoman said.

Lu Li and Wang Shang were also about to echo, but at this time, Li Lin shook his head with a serious face and explained: "The thieves did say that it would be within three days, but they did not specify which day and hour it was, and they said it was within three days, which is too vague. ”

Xiaoman was in a hurry, eager to jump to his feet, and his voice was slightly raised: "What does that mean?" Does it mean that we have to wait for the next letter from the bandits before we can discuss how to save them?! ”

"County Lord, don't worry." Li Lin waved his hand and explained: "The reason why I say this is just to tell you that the bandits have a full plan and preparation to come, and you must not fight hard, otherwise you will only end up losing both." ”

Saying that, Li Lin walked up to the king and solemnly saluted, "Your Majesty, please think about it, these thieves have detained Lord Huali and taken away all those goods, can't they guess Huali's true identity?" Besides, even if the bandit didn't guess, according to Lord Huali's temperament, he would definitely blow up his identity, so that the bandit would be afraid and let himself go, but what was the result? ”

Those thieves dare to open such a large price, then they have definitely learned the identities of Huali and Wang Youhe, these two people, kidnapping any one of them are people who can get a lot of silver, not to mention, they are now detaining not only these two people, but also so many goods and guys.

The thieves did all these things of robbery and kidnapping, all for money, but now they set the location of the transaction outside the palace, and also kidnapped Hua Li and Wang Youhe, although this would get a large sum of money, it would be too risky.

Speaking of this, Wang Shang suddenly couldn't understand a little, he frowned and looked at Li Lin, and asked, "According to what you mean, these bandits are not for money at all?" ”

"I can't say that, I can only say that they are not only interested in money when they carry out this operation." Li Lin expressed his analysis and insights.

At this time, Lu Li, who had been silent, spoke up and said, "I think what Master Li said has some truth, if these bandits are just for money, they can change places, and there is no need to trade outside the heavily guarded palace." ”

"But a group of bandits, since they are not all for money, what is their purpose?" Xiao Man's heart was anxious, but she still had to follow the footsteps of several people to think, and she asked the doubts in her heart: "Or are these bandits instructed by others to deliberately make such a fuss?" ”

The main thing is that the destruction of the greenhouse today hit her too hard, and she had to think about it.

But if you think about it carefully, Xiao Man can't convince himself, if these bandits are really instructed by others, then what are the benefits of them doing this?

"I don't rule it out." Li Lin nodded and looked at Xiao Man seriously, "Where did you find this letter, and who found it?" I'm going to ask and see if I can come up with more details. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man was busy; "Then I'll call the butler in now."

But when the butler was called in, Li Lin asked the other party a few questions, but he didn't know, only said that he found the letter on the ground, and after reading the contents, he didn't think it was a prank, so he hurriedly rode a horse to inform Xiaoman.

"You mean that the bandits delivered this letter to your room?" Li Lin only knew such an important piece of information.

The butler nodded, "yes, I really don't know the rest." ”

"That's not right." Xiao Manchu suddenly spoke, frowned at Lu Li, and said: "Except for the few secret guards you brought out of the mansion, the rest of the people are strictly guarded in the mansion, and it stands to reason that no one can quietly enter the mansion, drop a letter and then leave quietly." ”

Because he and Lu Li have been absent from the mansion for a long time, in order to ensure Wangshu's safety and daily life, Xiaoman specially arranged the housekeeper's room very close to Wangshu's courtyard, and the key protection of all the secret guards in the mansion is in Wangshu's courtyard, and someone can enter and exit the housekeeper's room smoothly, and it is impossible not to be discovered by the secret guards.

Lu Li, who also knew this, also knew the seriousness of the matter, he frowned, his face was solemn, and the hand hanging by his side was clenched tightly, but he didn't say a word.

But Li Lin was an outsider after all, and he didn't know the structure in the county lord's mansion, and when he heard Xiao Man say this, he couldn't help asking: "Is there a secret guard in the county lord's mansion?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Man told Li Lin about the structure of the mansion, and then said: "The martial arts of those bandits are too strong, how can they enter and exit the county lord's mansion without hindrance, and still be undetected?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Li said coldly: "I'm afraid it's not the thieves who came to deliver the letter." ”

When everyone heard this, they were terrified.

If this is really the case, then Xiaoman's guess is right, this time Huali and Wang Youhe were seized and asked for 100,000 taels of silver, it was not a bandit kidnapping at all, but someone pretending to be a thief and had another plan.

Thinking of this, Xiao Man couldn't help but shiver, slowly and carefully looked up at Lu Li, and said tremblingly: "Are those dishes in the greenhouse also ......?"

The two things happened too coincidentally, and Xiaoman had to think about it.

"Suffered!" Lu Li seemed to suddenly think of something, he let out a low shout, and the color of the iron behind him quickly ran out.

Seeing this, Xiao Man was stunned at first, and then he couldn't say goodbye to the king, so he also trotted out of the door, casually pulled a horse and pedaled up, raised his whip, and quickly rushed to the direction of Bei'an City.

ruined the vegetables in the greenhouse, seized Huali, and fed poison to Wang Youhe, if these things were really done by a group of people, then their next move would definitely be the county lord's mansion!
