Chapter 24: Bargaining
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
……
The officers and soldiers behind them hurried violently, they searched aimlessly along the river, and everyone felt that it was impossible for the person they were looking for to come north, so this group of officers and soldiers slacked off.
They rode fast horses across the river and quickly caught up with the crowd.
The people trembled with fear, they had been driven three or four times in the meantime, and they were instinctively frightened when they saw the officers and soldiers coming.
"You cunning people! What to run? "The leading officer and soldier is a capital head, surnamed Chen.
Chen Dutou rode a horse, swept around condescendingly, and fiddled with the horsewhip in his hand.
"The day before yesterday, the homeless people were in turmoil, and I saw that you were accomplices!"
"Official, official, wronged!"
Dozens of people knelt on the ground and shouted wronged, "Official, look at our group of old and weak women and children, where it seems that they can make trouble, you can raise your noble hand and let us go." ”
The children in the crowd were so frightened that they cried, Chen Dutou raised his hand and whipped it over, and the child holding the woman instinctively used his body to block it, and when he landed, his skin opened and his flesh opened, and blood overflowed his clothes.
The child jerked in fright.
"Take them all away!"
Chu Mubei, who was kneeling in the middle of the crowd, lowered his head, he clenched his fists fiercely, and endured the unwillingness in his heart.
The entourage kneeling to his left gritted his teeth, "Master, let's fight to the death, it's better than this kind of wretchedness!" ”
"Shut up, you're not afraid of death, don't bother the master."
Another attendant whispered at him.
This surnamed Chen has nearly 100 people and more than 30 horses, and it is easy to kill people and take horses by surprise and escape, but doing so will definitely affect these innocent people.
The most important thing is that once the whereabouts of the second son are exposed, it will only attract more pursuers, and the son will not be more dangerous at that time.
Chu Mubei quietly moved his position and let himself be as far forward as possible, as a last resort, he needed to control the leading man as soon as possible.
Chen Dutou didn't know that the danger was approaching, he was still sitting on the horse, and his eyes fell on a woman with a decent posture kneeling beside him.
He pointed at the woman, and his men immediately dragged her to him.
The woman screamed and struggled, and the voice of crying for help was heartbreaking, but where was she the opponent of the two big men.
Chen Dutou jumped off the horse and reached out to pinch the woman's chin, her clothes were ragged and her face was covered in mud.
He took out a handkerchief, spat at the mouth, and carefully wiped the woman's face, and sure enough, there was a delicate and lovely face hidden behind the dirty.
"Sure enough, it's a beauty, and the master's vision didn't miss it."
"Yes, such a dirty person, you can see that she is a big beauty, and she is really wise." The flattery of his subordinates said.
"Official, please let my daughter go, please."
The gray-haired old man crawled out on his knees, and he pleaded with tears in his eyes.
Chen Du kicked him away with a kick and wiped the filth on his clothes in disgust.
There was such a big commotion in front of the village, and the people in the village hid at home and did not dare to go out.
The place where the incident happened was very close to Jiang Luo's house, and Jiang Luo hid behind the door and saw it through the crack in the door.
Her gaze fell on a young man in the crowd, dressed in the same clothes as an outcast, kneeling with his waist straight.
This silhouette ...... Inexplicably, it feels familiar......
"Sister, I'm afraid, let's go back to the house and hide." Jiang Ran said timidly.
Jiang Cheng next to him changed his face nervously, and he followed Jiang Luo's line of sight, "Isn't that the young general you met when you ran away before?" ”
"Chu Jiajun?" Jiang Luo questioned.
"At that time, Xiaoniang and her sister also saved his sister, and he actually watched us being arrested." Jiang Cheng sneered, he was not a good person at first glance, and he deserved to end up like this.
Jiang Luo was surprised, if she remembered correctly, this Chu family army should be under the jurisdiction of Qinzhou, then this young general has something to do with Qinzhou's assassin history, since he is from Qinzhou, how can he appear in Yangchuan? And still so down.
Chen Xianyue was helping out at Aunt Wang's house, when she heard that officers and soldiers had entered the village, she thought it was coming for the Jiang family, and she didn't care about the danger, so she hurried back.
When Jiang Luo saw her figure appear on the path, he secretly said that something was wrong.
Sure enough, before she could get closer, she was targeted.
"Stop!" Chen Dutou's subordinate who was familiar with sycophants saw her and immediately stepped forward to stop her.
"What do you do?"
Chen Dutou's gaze moved from her clean, white, patched dress to her face.
She was born beautiful, and the years seem to treat beauties very favorably, leaving her with infinite charm.
Chen Xianyue was so frightened that her legs became weak, and she said tremblingly, "Back to the official, the people's daughter is from Dazhu Village." ”
"Village woman?" Chen Dutou smiled evilly, and unconsciously reached out and touched his beard, "How do I think you are also a troublemaker!" ”
"Take it back for trial!"
Chen Xianyue was begging for mercy, when the courtyard door behind her suddenly opened.
Jiang Luo shrunk and walked out of the courtyard, and shouted with little confidence, "Mother, why did you come back?" ”
Chen Xianyue tried her best to give her a look, telling her to go back quickly and not come out.
She ignored it.
Jiang Luo walked up to Chen Dutou by himself, stretched out his thin arm to protect Chen Xianyue, "Why are you arresting my mother?" ”
"Xiaodong ......" Before he could scold, Jiang Luo looked at him with big black eyes, swept around the crowd, his eyes fell on the jade pendant looming on Chu Mubei's waist, and then raised his head and asked obediently, "Do you want money?" ”
"Money?" Chen Du's avatar heard a big joke, "Little dried vegetables, you are poor and don't even have a new dress, and you still have money?" ”
"I don't have any money, but I have good things, and my father said that this good thing can buy dozens of maids." She said it with a sincere face.
"Really?"
"Of course, how can a child deceive people."
"Hurry up and take it out!" Chen Dutou couldn't help but be moved.
He stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Luo's clothes and lifted her up. Jiang fell into a cold sweat, and the suffocating feeling of being pinched before came to his heart.
"Luo'er." Chen Xianyue begged, wanting Chen Dutou to let her go.
"Hurry up and take it out!"
Jiang Luo's face flushed, and he said breathlessly, "You...... You killed me...... You won't get good stuff......"
Chen Dutou put her down with an unnatural expression, she gasped for breath, trying to calm down.
"As long as you take out your things, I'll let your mother go."
He leaned down and smiled a self-righteous smile.
Jiang Luo hesitated, puffed up his chest and abdomen, and had the courage to bargain with him, "In addition to my mother, I also want to pick two child husbands among these people you arrested." ”
"Child husband?" The crowd burst into laughter, for it was the first time they had heard of such a ridiculous thing.
"yes." Jiang Luo folded his fingers and counted to him, "My father used to be a big landowner, but he was rich and rich, and then he died, but he used to say that our Jiang family can't cut off the incense, so we have to find a man to come to the door." ”
"Don't talk so much nonsense, what's the matter?"
"Will you say yes?" Jiang Luo refused to back down, and continued to tempt him, "That's a valuable item that can buy dozens of beauties......"
"You have such an identity, can't you just want such a mediocre-looking mountain village woman......"
