I had a new outer room, and I happily sent Liu Ming here, but I heard the news of Liu Ming's disappearance.

After listening to Peng Yuanguanzai's careful explanation, Xie Andeng said angrily: "Bullying people to my Cao Gang?"

After that, he summoned the housekeeper and asked him to send the new outer room to the house, and immediately got into the carriage again.

"Xiaopeng, don't worry, the old man will go back to Dongcheng now, I will help the 3,800 miles of waterway, and the shopkeeper will find out within three days!"

With that, he urged his family to hurry up.

Peng Yuanguan heard it with tears in his eyes, knelt down in front of the carriage, kowtowed heavily and said, "Lord Cao Yun's great kindness, the little one will always be remembered in my heart......

At this time, Liu Ming's mentality has eased up.

The bandits haven't been here since they were locked in.

Chef Yang had already woken up, and he didn't give up and went in and walked out with his head down.

Liu Guanshan rested for a while, looked at the sky outside and said, "It's getting dark, and it will be very cold for a while."

"Let's spend the night......

Liu Ming also hugged his body tightly.

There is a piece of the cave wall that has been wet all the time, and it is possible that it is a mountain spring in the rock formation.

Because of this wet wall, the whole cave is very wet, and it is fine during the day, but it is a little unbearable cold at night.

Liu Guanshan sighed and said, "It's good to have some wood here, we can make a fire to keep out the cold."

"I'm so hungry...... Chef Yang rubbed his belly and muttered, "Shopkeeper, you noodles, I said I was tired of eating them a few days ago, but now I'm so hungry that I want to eat them......

Liu Ming smiled bitterly and couldn't say anything.

Following.

Peng Yuanguan, who had been sitting at the door of Liu Kee Restaurant all night, received a letter at dawn.

The letter was delivered by an old man in Mingyang in a horse-drawn carriage, and he said that a stranger had given him a large sum of money to deliver the letter.

The old man and his friend are old acquaintances, and they are ancient and warm-hearted people.

Peng Yuanguan did not doubt that he had him, and opened the envelope.

I saw a line of crooked words inside.

'Take two pieces of silver, tomorrow after sunset, go to the old yellow horn tree near the east gate, put it in a box, and I will live.' “

Liu Ming's handwriting!

When he saw the letter, he was so excited that all his sleepiness vanished.

immediately called a carriage and went straight to the county office.

In the county office, Li Lu, who had a stubbled beard and bloodshot eyes, still frowned.

He didn't sleep all night, and neither did his catchers.

The entire Mingyang can ask everything, and it can be determined that there is absolutely no Liu Ming and others in the city.

Now the headache is outside the city.

Gao Catcher and the other two catchers divided into three routes, took all the catchers out, and visited the villages in the suburbs.

I should be back by tonight.

If there is no one in the suburbs, there is a high probability that Liu Ming and the three of them will be kidnapped by bandits.

Mingyang County is poor, and many people have lost their land due to natural disasters.

The bandits are easy to deal with, the fast catchers all have unique skills, and they eat well, and a quick catcher picks up a knife to kill a dozen thieves who can't eat, just like playing.

But finding the bandits, it's hard.

These bandits, one by one, hide deeper than a rat hole.

On the issue of bandits, Li Lu has also asked for it many times.

He wanted the army to send some people to help him sift through the bandits.

Originally, Haidan was agreed to by the Dongcheng Banner Department, but after the order was issued, it was obstructed at all levels.

In the end, it was gone.

The reason is simple, Mingyang has no money.

The dispatch of the army will consume military expenses, and that thing cannot be done by dozens of hundreds of taels of silver.

Mingyang is so poor that there are only twenty or thirty people in the yamen, plus clerical jobs such as master clerks, but there are only forty people.

I can't afford to raise any more.

In such a poor county, even if the bandits are suppressed, they can't get rid of oil and water, and the army doesn't want to come at all.

The matter of bandits has always been a problem in Li Lu's heart.

However, the more you worry about something, the more you come.

After Peng Yuanguan slapped the letter on his desk, his heart was half cold.

If you want a ransom, you will be caught by the bandits.

Liu Ming is not here, so he can only find him as the second shopkeeper to negotiate.

"So, do you want to give it?"

Faced with the problem of Peng Yuanguan, he became entangled again.

He didn't want to give it because he had dealt with too many cases of being kidnapped by bandits.

Given money, it is absolutely impossible to live.

But the view of the distant view is completely opposite.

He was born as a ruffian, and he has dealt with bandits to some extent, and the thieves he knows are still very concerned about the rules of the rivers and lakes, and there are almost no people who take money and tear up tickets.

The two quarreled a little, and finally Peng Yuanguan said a word that moved Li Lu.

"If the money is given out, if the shopkeeper comes back, he will be able to earn it back sooner or later, but if the shopkeeper is torn up because he didn't give the money, what is the use of the money?"

These words went to Li Lu's heart.

The various things Liu Ming has done these days, including squeezing fruit sellers, driving landless groups to farm, and giving large orders to the cast iron industry, are invisibly changing Mingyang.

The common people didn't notice it, but Li Lu, as the head of the county, was clear about the changes in the county.

The money is circulating, and everyone's life is better.

But the good days have just begun, and the bandits have been kidnapped!

Li Lu thought for a moment, and then said, "The money is taken from the treasury in our county, but we have to sum up this matter, and we can't believe that the thieves will definitely release them."

Of course, he did not explain the deep-seated problems inside.

The arrow that killed the horse was not something that a bandit should have.

This thing can only rot in the stomach.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Lu Pegasus went on a trip to Dongcheng and left only one sentence for the clerk.

The catchers are not allowed to go home until he returns.

Peng Yuanguan was not ambiguous, and called all the ruffians who had followed him to the city.

These ruffians shouted one person at a time, and even called hundreds of people over in one afternoon.

Among them, many people have completed registration in Liuji and are ready to go to Liuji to farm.

After everyone gathered, Peng Yuanguan cleared his throat and made a heavy promise.

"Brothers! Let everyone come here today to find Liu Ming, the big boss of Liu Kee Restaurant, I won't hide it from you, now that he has been kidnapped by bandits, I need your help, and I am willing to help me stay here, and every big money afterwards!"

"Boss Peng, you have seen what you said, we have to help you with your business, whether you give money or not."

"That is, you were kind to us at the beginning, and my brothers remember it in their hearts."

"If you hadn't helped me at the beginning, it's hard to say whether my leg can be saved, now you let go, I don't know others, I'm Li Laosan, I don't hesitate to go to the soup!"

"I don't understand those crepe things, just one sentence, Boss Peng, you let me go on me, it's as simple as that."

Looking at these old guys, Peng Yuanguan had tears in his eyes and said, "Brothers, this time you may have to use swords......

Then he said, "Please."

"Hack them to death! Hack them to death! Hack them to death!"

The shouts of the ruffians resounded through the bright sun.
