Chapter 449: Gongsun Erniang
Old man Deng is in a very happy mood, and he is shy|Novel free download novel】【First release】
Now, no one dares to call him Old Man Deng to his face, and they all have to be called very respectfully, Old Lady Deng!
Isn't it, as the richest man in the black city, his own shop is half a street, and he is also the manager of the workshop and the nominal leader of the baggage battalion, what's the matter, it can be regarded as a spring breeze!
But these will not be put in the eyes of Old Man Deng, what he is most proud of is the wise and promising city lord in this city, who is his fast son-in-law of Chenglong, just by virtue of this, it is enough to walk sideways in the black city.
However, Old Man Deng is proud, but he is also smart and measured, although he often shows off in front of people, he will never violate the invisible bottom line, bully men and women, bully the market, he will not do that kind of thing, and it is also a stern warning to the children of the clan, don't bully others, things that can be settled with silver, never use other means, who will not get along with silver?
Even if it is the top brand of Yihong Mansion, the newcomer, Xiao Wu, who claims to be a performer but not a person, is not obedient under the offensive of his old lady Deng? Willing to be ransomed? Only the **** is really noisy, what to say to open the business, unwilling to live or die, it is really disappointing.
But at the thought of being able to get his wish tonight, Old Man Deng felt full of strength, and the dead wood in spring was just so magical!
But this matter has to come quietly, and he has to keep a low profile, and he must not let his fast son-in-law know about the dragon, because his virtuous son-in-law has been short of silver recently, if he knows that he has spent five hundred gold to buy a stunning concubine, I am afraid that there will be a very bad association.
All the way, the old man Deng used the fastest speed to deal with the affairs of the workshop and the baggage camp today, and immediately rushed back to his deep house compound, asked the family to send a table of first-class banquets, and then retired a group of miscellaneous servants, he wanted to talk about life and ideals with the little dance girl.
……
"Thirty thousand gold? What kidnappers, such a big breath? ”
In the city lord's mansion, when Zhou Yue heard the news that his cheap father-in-law was kidnapped, it was already the second day, looking at Deng Xiaomiao, who was crying into a tearful person, he really had a headache, he couldn't think of it, he only received the news the day before yesterday, and it came true today, it was really a thief, kidnapping Old Man Deng, they can figure it out?
"Deng Jia! What does your internal guard battalion eat? Defending the city gates and capturing the young, isn't this the duty of your inner guard battalion? Why is it that even my father has been kidnapped now, so it shows what kind of rice bucket your internal guard battalion is, at this level, how can I rest assured that the defense of Panjin Black City will be handed over to you? Zhou Yuehu shouted with a face, although this time the matter is not big, but it is indeed equivalent to being slapped to him, and what is even worse is that this matter is related to the prosperity of the black city, once the kidnapper cannot be caught, it is one thing to tear up the old man Deng, and the decline in prosperity is unbearable.
"The subordinates should die, they have the trust of the lord, and they ask the lord to punish them." Deng Jia is also full of depression, although his internal guard battalion said that the combat power is far less than the main battalion, but he has never dared to relax, strict requirements, in the four city gates and patrol between the streets are also uninterrupted, as for their old house, there are three hundred guards guarded, but from beginning to end, there has never been a shadow of a thief, his father has not moved since he entered the newly bought concubine's courtyard, if it weren't for this morning, the servants at home noticed that something was wrong, I'm afraid I don't know that the old man was kidnapped.
"Brother Zhou, this matter, I'm afraid and no wonder Deng Jia, according to the clues, that Xiao Wu is ****, but we interrogated the ****, only to know that she was not brought by ****, but found **** the day before the opening of the business, and voluntarily entered ****, but she didn't sell her body, and then on the second day, he was favored by Mr. Deng and ransomed her with 500 gold, and then, this bizarre kidnapping occurred, so, it can be preliminarily judged that this is a very well-organized kidnapper gang, and, The modus operandi is clever, leaving almost no flaws. Liu Yue also said at this time, this kidnapping case really made them feel ridiculous, what is this?
Zhou Yue was silent, he knew very well that this kidnapping was not so much a coincidence, but rather the result of his increased popularity, the day before yesterday, didn't it say in that message. 'A lot of evil and powerful horse thieves have begun to talk about your rich city, many fierce and powerful assassins and lone thieves have begun to talk about your hidden treasures, the Mongol Khan Temujin has begun to hate you, the Ming Liaodong Naval Division has begun to warn you, Zhang Shigui, the chief of the Guanwai Dao of the Tang Empire, has noticed you, and more homeless people will be willing to join your rule and seek protection! ’
This is the problem, and this kidnapping is just the beginning, and there will definitely be other vicious incidents in the future.
"Pass my order, the scout battalion will be dispatched from now on, give me a careful look, and search all the areas within a radius of one hundred and fifty miles of Heicheng like a comb, summer solstice, your elite archery battalion will cooperate with the action, but be careful not to harass civilians, in addition, Deng Jia, your internal guard battalion will cooperate with Qin Lang's heavy shield battalion, and give me a search of the whole city, including the five small towns outside Heicheng, any suspicious person, directly take down and interrogate, and, Zhang Ying, your spear cavalry battalion is on alert at any time, I estimate that it won't take long, There will be bandits, and these bandits are only afraid that their strength will be very strong. ”
After giving this series of orders, Zhou Yue continued to check the kidnapper's book, a very beautiful book, although he didn't know calligraphy, but he could also see that the owner of the book was very accomplished in this area, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, and the content of the book was indeed interesting.
"The city lord has no intention of bothering, why is it shy in the pocket recently, I heard that the city lord is rich in the world, and has always been kind and charitable, so he took the liberty to come, hoping to get one or two Sichuan capital, now there is Guitai Mountain, and he is also willing to be a good person, he is interested and elegant, personable, he tried the knife and tried it, and he must smell the fragrance for ten miles, the Buddha jumped over the wall, temporarily borrowed the concubine as a concubine, if you want to return it, please give 30,000 gold in exchange, Gongsun Erniang paused."
Zhou Yue remembered that in ancient times, there was a Gongsun Lady who danced with a sword, but I don't know if there was a Gongsun Erniang? But no matter what, this person is very good, and it seems that the other party can't belong to some black city force, but a very unique ranger.
But what kind of kidnapper did the ranger come to be? If you really make a living from kidnapping for ransom, then you shouldn't call them rangers, these people are very arrogant and don't care about it.
So there must be a reason for this matter, 30,000 gold, which is not a small amount, even if Zhou Yue is the city lord and has the resources of the entire black city, he will definitely not be able to take it out, 30,000 gold, which is enough for him to form another thousand heavy wolf riders.
Another point is that the letter left by the kidnappers does not indicate when and where the hostages will be exchanged. Isn't that strange?
You know, there's no phone call these days.
So, in this way, there are probably only two possibilities, first, this Gongsun Erniang is here to find fault, she knows very well that Zhou Yue will never exchange the amount of 30,000 gold for Old Man Deng, even if it is his cheap father-in-law.
Second, this Gongsun Erniang is using this as a pretext to attack the east and west, and has other plans!
And of the two possibilities, the second is the most likely.
So, what does this Gongsun Erniang want to do? Zhou Yue has no enmity with her?
Assuming that she is really a ranger, although 30,000 gold is a huge fortune, it is estimated that she will not be able to look down on it, could it be that the road is uneven and she draws a sword to help?
Zhou Yue thought about it, and finally came up with such a very old-fashioned plot, probably so, and besides that, he couldn't think of any reason to make a ranger so tormented.
However, although Old Man Deng is a little greedy on weekdays, he never does bad things, after all, they are from a poor background, so they will not turn around and bully the poor, which Zhou Yue knows very well.
And if this Gongsun Erniang didn't go to Old Man Deng, she would naturally come to Zhou Yue, but the people who Zhou Yue offended would go to the sea, what Eight Banners Army, Bai Ma Yi Congsun Zhan, the Eight Great Families of Jin Shang, Yuangai Suwen, etc., etc., but these people don't seem to be worthy of those free and loose rangers to shoot for them, right?
"It's kind of interesting! Could it be because of them? ”
Zhou Yue's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered one thing, "Someone is coming, pass on my order, and order Xiao Guanyin to immediately light two thousand heavily armed wolf riders and two thousand wind archers, and surround Mujiazhuang for me quickly, and don't even think of escaping for me with a fly!" ”
Immediately, Zhou Yue also put on the whole body armor, and he is now at least eighty percent sure that this so-called Gongsun Erniang is hidden in Mujiazhuang.
And this Mujiazhuang is the sixth small village outside Panjin Black City, which is licensed by Zhou Yue and will never have to pay taxes, because this is where Murong Chui's widow lives, on the grassland that day, because the Mongolian pursuers suddenly appeared, Zhou Yue let their orphans and widows plus six Dayan royal guards and hundreds of soldiers flee in advance, and the remaining palace maids, eunuchs, craftsmen, etc. were abandoned and waited for death.
But in the end, Zhou Yue stubbornly stopped the pursuers, and finally brought the craftsmen of nearly six or seven hundred people back to Panjin Heicheng safely, and calmly accepted their allegiance.
It is estimated that because of this incident, Murong Chui's widow is very angry, and their orphans and widows are indeed enough to attract rangers to fight for them.
But what about the Ranger?
The strength of a single person is still difficult to stop the general trend, Murong Chui's youngest son Zhou Yue originally wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but now it's good, he actually sent an excuse directly to the door, it's really wonderful!
