Chapter 13: Su Yue's ransom
It was the first time for Lu Shi to participate in such a plan, and when she received this message, the whole person panicked, and she didn't even know what to do.
After thinking about it, she was ready to go back to Lu Mansion to find her family's help, after all, this matter was arranged by Lu Wen in advance, but why is there such news now?
Lu Shi pretended to be calm and left Shangshu Mansion and went to Lu Mansion, and the moment she arrived in Lu Mansion, she realized that even Lu Wen and the others had just learned the news.
"Sister, why are you here?" Lu Wen said with a weak face.
"Big brother, what the hell is going on?" Lu Shi looked at Lu Wen with an anxious face, "Didn't these people arrange these people by Big Brother?
Seeing Lu Shi's crying appearance, Old Man Lu hurriedly comforted him, "Sister, don't worry, big brother will handle this matter." ”
Lu Shi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Su Yun and Su Li are fine, what if something happens to my Yue'er?"
Lu Shi sobbed, "Yue'er has never encountered such a thing when she grows so old, and she has somehow become the target of others." ”
"Okay!" Old Man Lu looked impatient, "If it weren't for you, how could this be?"
Lu Shi looked up at the words that Old Man Lu had blocked in his heart and did not say them.
Lu Wen looked at Lu Shi and patted him on the shoulder, "Sister, don't worry, if they knew that Yue'er was from Shangshu Mansion, they would definitely not dare to hurt her." He didn't know what was going on, but at the moment, he could only comfort Lu Shi like this.
Lu Shi looked up at Lu Wen with an aggrieved smile, "Big brother, I'm sorry, I'm too anxious." ”
Lu Wen patted Lu Shi on the shoulder too much.
Lu Wu, who rushed back from outside, also knew about it, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw a group of people sitting together, while Lu Shi was sitting on the side wiping his tears.
"Big brother, isn't this the person you arranged? How can it happen now?" Lu Wu frowned, "Will it hurt Yue'er?"
Lu Wen looked at Lu Wu and was silent for a long time before he spoke, "It is imperative that we first investigate where these people are from!"
Lu Wu thought of the rumors that had been said before, looked up at them, and remained silent.
"Did you hear the news?" said Old Man Lu.
"If you hear the news and tell us, it's not the same thing that we're at a loss now, and the longer Yue'er is kidnapped, the more disadvantageous it will be for Yue'er. The words didn't seem to take Su Yun and Su Li to heart.
"On my way home, I heard some news. Lu Wu said hesitantly, "They seem to say that it is a group of green forest heroes outside the city, entrenched on the Leyou Mountain, and the court has always wanted to recruit peace, but who knows that group of people does not appreciate it."
I heard that a beautiful girl was caught in the forest a few days ago. Originally, the two sides have been peaceful and peaceful these days. ”
Lu Wu paused and then continued to speak, "Who knows, now I will actually attack Shangshu Mansion." Lu Wu said and scratched his head, "I don't know if it's true or not." ”
Old Man Lu slapped the table when he heard Lu Wu's words, "Some bandits even dare to attack the concubines of Shangshu Mansion, that really doesn't take Shangshu Mansion in their eyes!"
Old Man Lu looked at Lu Wen again, "Boss, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
Lu Wu didn't know about the green forest heroes outside the city, but Lu Wen had already heard about it, and it was said that they had backers behind them, so he never accepted the court's recruitment, and even didn't take the court's recruitment in his eyes.
When today's Son also sent people to recruit An, but all the people who went there did not return, and they had never committed any crimes, so the Son of Heaven could only give up and let a group of them be powerful on Leyou Mountain.
"Dad, we'll talk about this later. Lu Wen looked at Old Man Lu with a solemn face, as if he was very jealous of this group of people.
"What are you afraid of a group of bandits!" Old Man Lu said disapprerovingly, "People who are not taken seriously by the imperial court, wouldn't it be better if you took this opportunity to recruit them!"
Lu Wen raised his eyes to look at Old Man Lu, and said with a solemn face, "Dad, do you know their origins, they are people that the Son of Heaven must be afraid of, how do you let me fight with others?"
Lu Wen rubbed his eyebrows as he spoke, and looked up at Lu Shi, "Sister, have you ever told anyone else about this?"
"What did the eldest brother say? Could it be that the eldest brother doubted me?" Lu Shi looked up at Lu Wen in surprise, "I am such a person in the eldest brother's heart?"
Lu Shi paused and then continued to speak, "Big brother, I don't like Su Li, how could I tell anyone else about this?"
Lu Wen looked at Old Man Lu again, "Dad, we must discuss this matter again, in case we annoy that group of people, the consequences are not something we can bear." ”
It was Lu Wen's look that made Old Man Lu wake up, and after he glanced at it, he stopped talking.
At the same time, enjoy the mountains.
Su Li and the others were still locked in a dark and damp little black room, and in order to frighten Su Yue, the sound of mice squeaking could be heard in the room from time to time.
"Enough! Don't you bother!" Su Li looked up at the screaming Su Yue with an impatient expression, "Believe it or not, I'll throw you out of here right away." ”
Su Yue sat there and glanced at Su Li with a dissatisfied expression, moving her lips but not knowing what to say.
A man in black opened the door, pointed at Su Li, and said indifferently, "You come with us!"
Su Li glanced at Su Yun and Su Yue behind him, "Just don't hurt them." ”
The man in black nodded according to Su Li's meaning, and immediately took Su Li away, and when he left, he glared at Su Yun and Su Yue who were imprisoned viciously, and Su Yue was so frightened that she hid behind Su Yun even tighter.
Su Li was brought into a room, and there was a table of sumptuous food in the room, and the man in black who led him looked at Su Li and said respectfully, "Master, I have been wronged." As he spoke, he half-knelt down.
"A letter to Shangshufu, saying that he wanted 500,000 taels of gold as a ransom and Su Yue's life. Su Li turned his head and looked at the man in black, his face was slightly gloomy, "Remember, you must write Su Yue's name clearly!"
Su Li paused and then continued, "One more thing, when they hand over the ransom, you send someone to spread the word in the streets. Su Li whispered a few words in that person's ear, "Understood?"
"The subordinates understand. The man spoke again with a respectful face.
Su Li glanced at his arm, took out a sharp blade from his sleeve and stabbed it at his arm, seeing that the man looked worried.
"Master!" the man in black hurried to find the medicine box.
"It's okay, this wound will be very useful then. Su Li looked at the man with a sneer on his lips, "The Lu family actually wants me to die so much, why don't I fulfill her!"
Su Li was taken back to the small black room by the man in black, and even pushed her in roughly.
Looking at the bleeding wound on Su Li's arm, Su Yun looked worried, "Ah Li, what's going on?"
Su Li smiled at Su Yun, "As long as my sister and sixth sister are fine, it's nothing if I'm injured." She opened her mouth with a disapproving expression, and she saw Su Yue hooking the corners of her lips.
Not long after, they received another message.
