Chapter 259: Ransom
Lin Ling, who originally wanted to say that he didn't want to go back, finally agreed silently.
Third Brother Ning's words have already been said like this, if he still stays in the caravan with a thick skin and toughness, it will only make Third Brother Ning look down on him.
Moreover, the most important thing that Lin Ling had always wanted to ignore was finally bloodied in front of her.
No matter what she has in mind, no matter how good the fourth brother is to her, it can't match the fact that the fourth brother has already married.
When I returned to my room in despair, and when I was packing my luggage, I couldn't help but shed tears.
It wasn't until Lin Ling got into the carriage of the caravan that Ning Laosi, who was hiding in the dark and watching Lin Ling get into the car, let out a heavy sigh.
If you become a relative and have a daughter-in-law, don't provoke other little girls!
It's okay to separate like this, and it will be good when Lin Ling goes back and gets married.
In this town, Ning Laosan still has a lot of things to collect, after all, in the north, things here are very popular.
Therefore, their caravan will need to stay here for about four days.
On the second night, it began to drizzle outside.
On such a day, there is naturally no way to go out to receive the goods.
A group of people can only stay in the lobby of the inn, drinking wine and watching the outside chat.
In the distance, a hurried sound of horses' hooves approached.
"Rather be in charge, rather be in charge!"
From the horse, a drenched man turned over and shouted into the inn.
Ning Laosan and Ning Laosi looked at each other, stood up suddenly, and walked towards the outside of the inn.
Just happened to bump into the man who ran in soaking wet, Ning Laosan was stunned, isn't this the steward of the caravan that left at noon yesterday?
"Ning Dangjia, please save my shopkeeper.
Please...... Save my shopkeeper! ”
When the man saw Ning Laosan, he immediately knelt down, grabbed Ning Laosan's arm, and shouted bitterly.
"This ...... What the hell is going on?
Ma Steward, if there is really something life-saving, then it should also be reported to the official! ”
Ning Laosan was confused, and hurriedly wanted to help the horse steward who knelt down to help him up.
Unexpectedly, the horse steward refused to get up.
"You...... Ay...... You explain things clearly, what happened?
You don't make it clear, you just shout for help, and I don't know how to help you! ”
Hearing Ning Laosan's loose words, Steward Ma immediately wiped his face full of tears and rain.
"Yesterday we went out of the city from here, and in the evening we will go to Baishuidu.
Originally, our caravan had been by land.
But for some reason, last night, the shopkeeper wanted to take the waterway, saying that he could get home two days earlier.
Unexpectedly, when we boarded the boat, before we could sail ten miles, we were robbed by a group of sailors.
If I hadn't seen the wrong opportunity, jumped into the water, and swam back desperately, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you anymore! ”
Thinking back to the moment he jumped into the water, he seemed to see the knives that the bandits had slashed at the shopkeeper and his companions.
He gritted his teeth, did not dare to look back, and kept swimming desperately, desperately, until he was almost exhausted, and finally climbed ashore.
When he came ashore, he happened to see a horse in front of him, and he didn't think much about it, jumped on the horse, and rushed madly towards the town.
When he first entered the city, the guards who were originally guarding the city gate actually let him enter the city without stopping him.
Steward Ma's mind was full of saving people, and he didn't think much about anything else at all, and after finishing speaking, he just pulled Ning Laosan's sleeve and cried bitterly.
Ning Laosan didn't expect that there were actually water bandits in Baishuidu, and when he thought that he would pass through Baishuidu in a few days, his face couldn't help but change.
"Second Brother Wang, you quickly take someone and go to the yamen to report first.
I'm afraid, that Boss Yang, this time there is less luck! ”
When Wang Deyin heard Ning Laosan's words, he immediately greeted a few people, and quickly ran towards the local yamen.
Seeing the back of his wife and brother leaving, Ning Laosan beckoned Ning Laosi to help the horse steward up first.
It's just that he shouted a few times, but he saw Ning Laosi with a pale face and a soulless appearance.
"Fourth, did you hear me?"
Ning Laosi raised his head reluctantly and looked at him in a daze.
"Third brother, Lin Ling is on that boat."
Hearing Ning Laosi's words, Ning Laosan suddenly remembered, yes, Miss Lin was also in that caravan.
Since the caravan had taken the waterway, there was no reason why she should not get on board with her.
Ning Laosan's face trembled twice, but he didn't expect that he just didn't want the fourth child and that Miss Lin to make trouble.
Unexpectedly, that Miss Lin suffered a disaster.
Ning Laosan couldn't help but think, if he hadn't been so resolute and let Miss Nalin leave with Boss Yang's caravan, would this not have happened?
"Fourth, you calm down, maybe ...... Maybe Miss Lin is fine.
I have already asked Second Brother Wang to report to the police, and the government will definitely not ignore this matter. ”
It's just that his comfort is pale and powerless.
Since there are water bandits in Baishuidu, it must not be a matter of one day or two.
If the government here is useful, how can there still be such water bandits to harm the common people?
Sure enough, Wang Deyin went fast and came back quickly.
"The third child, the government only said that they knew, so they drove us out."
Looking at the appearance of the yamen, it doesn't look like a person who wants to take care of things at all.
"No, I'm going to Baishuidu to save Lin Ling."
Ning Laosi clenched his fists and rushed out to get on the horse.
But he was pulled by Ning Laosan, and he didn't let go.
"Fourth, fourth brother, calm down, if Miss Lin is really in trouble, even if you go over now, it's too late!
Don't worry, since the yamen doesn't care about this matter, I will definitely take care of it.
It's a big deal, I ransomed Miss Lin with money and came back.
Isn't it just to seek wealth when you are a water bandit!
Give them money, and you should be able to save people. ”
This time, it actually went well.
Therefore, the money earned is not small.
I believe that as long as they are willing to spend a lot of money, these bandits are willing to let Miss Lin go.
When Steward Ma heard Ning Dangjia's words, he couldn't help but get anxious.
"Ning is in charge, what about our shopkeeper?
He...... He's in the hands of those bandits! ”
Looking at the horse steward who was full of hope, Ning Laosan was silent, and then said.
"Steward Ma, if you can contact Boss Yang's family and ask them to take out the money to ransom people, I believe those bandits will agree.
After all, they would rob the caravan ships for the sole purpose of seeking money. ”
Hearing Ning Laosan's words, Steward Ma's heart suddenly cooled by half.
The shopkeeper of their family is not from here, where can he contact his family?
Now that he is penniless, even if he wants to go back to get silver, this time and again, at least a month, and by then, the daylily will be cold!
