Chapter 260: Investigation

"Okay, you horse thief, where are you going?"

Just when the horse steward wanted to cry without tears and didn't know what to do, a strong drink came in from outside the inn.

Steward Ma and Ning Laosan didn't react at all, so they saw a figure rushing over, kicked over the steward Ma, and then used the belt pinched in his hand to directly tie up the four feet of the steward Ma Steward and the pig.

While tying up, he was swearing in his mouth.

"Damn, labor and management are just skills, you old boy actually dared to steal a horse, what a big daring?"

The steward was kicked and dizzy, and he was tied up by the man, screaming like a pig.

Seeing this, Ning Laosan on the side suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked at the horse steward who had just turned over outside the inn.

At this look, Ning Laosan's eyebrows couldn't help jumping.

The horse steward is really unlucky, and he stuffs his teeth when he drinks cold water, this horse is obviously an official horse!

"This big brother, please dissipate your anger.

I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here, this ...... The horse steward should not have the intention of stealing your horse.

It's just a moment of urgency, so it's like this.

Look, do you want to sit down and have a hot cup of tea to warm up? ”

After tying up the steward, the man sat on the ground and gasped for breath.

It's a small thing to lose a horse, but there will be something important soon!

However, now that the people have been caught, and the horse is outside, he is also half relieved.

Hearing Ning Laosan's words, the strong man like the black tower just glanced at him, then got up from the ground and walked towards his horse.

I checked everything first, and it was all there, and then I really put my mind at ease.

Ma Guan encountered such a thing beforehand, and finally ran to the city, but the yamen didn't care.

Now that he was still being tied up like a piglet, he suddenly felt sad and cried.

"Rub, you old boy, the labor and management haven't beaten you yet, what are you howling?"

The strong man entered the inn, and remembered that he had run wildly all the way, and he didn't even have time to tie his belt, and his heart was very angry.

wanted to step forward and kick the horse steward a few times, and then take him to the official mansion, but Ning Laosan stepped forward to block him.

"Second brother, quickly bring the hot tea and let this strong man have a good drink.

Strongman, let's not hide it, this horse steward really didn't have the intention of stealing your horse.

It was only because his owner's boat was robbed that he finally swam out of the river for a long time before he escaped from the clutches of the bandits.

After going ashore in a panic, he saw that the strong man's horse was there, so he thought that he would borrow it and ride it to the city to report the eucalyptus.

This...... It is indeed the fault of the horse steward not to ask for it.

Please also ask the strong man, see that he has a hard time, forgive him this time. ”

Hearing the word water bandit, the strong man's eyebrows couldn't help but move.

"Where was his owner's ship hijacked?"

"White Water."

The strong man didn't know what to think, and his face was gloomy.

"Did you report it to the government?"

"Hey...... I've already reported it, but the government hasn't moved, just said let's wait for the news. ”

Ning Laosan shook his head helplessly and replied.

"Damn, what is the use of such a ruler who does not rule for the people?"

The strong man punched hard and smashed it on the table, causing the cup of tea brought by Wang Deyin to jump on the spot, and most of the tea in it immediately shook out.

"Brave man, please be careful, hey...... I can't do anything, thinking that the other party should be asking for money.

Therefore, I thought that the goods on the carriage would be cheaper, and then each of them would scrape together some silver and go to the white water to redeem people. ”

Ning Laosan said to the strong man with a sad face.

"I'll go with you and the others."

When the strong man heard that Ning Laosan was actually willing to pay for the ransom, he glanced at him with a little surprise, and then said.

To his surprise, the horse thief's owner ship that this person kept saying before was robbed, which means that it has nothing to do with this person.

Even if he knows him, he is willing to put together the money he is carrying now to redeem people, then this person really listens to righteousness!

However, he wanted to go together, naturally not only because Ning Laosan was angry.

For Ning Laosan, one more person now means more strength.

This strong man's skills when he pounced into the inn just now were extraordinary at first glance, and with him accompanying him to ransom people, it must have greatly increased the chances of winning.

Now, Ning Laosan is afraid that those water bandits will not show up.

"That dare is good, I don't know what to call a strong man?"

Ning Laosan looked at the strong man with a look of surprise and asked.

"Just call me Iron Six."

After saying that, Tie Liu thought about it, walked over, untied the belt that bound the horse steward, and tied it back to himself.

Then he snorted, and said with a slanted glance at the horse steward.

"Count you away."

"Brother Tie Liu, then let's go to Baishuidu first, okay?

I will give it to my brothers, and I will try to exchange the goods for silver, and send them when the time comes. ”

Hearing Ning Laosan say this, Tie Liu nodded and agreed.

Ning Laosan suddenly acted vigorously and resolutely, called the fourth child, and those people in Zhuangzi went together.

Leave Wang Deyin and the Shi family brothers behind, and exchange the goods in their hands for silver as soon as possible.

Even if you lose something, you don't care.

A group of people, get on the horse and go out of the city quickly.

Originally, when they arrived at the gate of the city, the defenders of the city still wanted to stop it, but when they looked closely, the mark on the horse that led the way in front of them suddenly hurriedly pulled the people who were originally preparing to leave the city to the side, and then watched the group of people riding horses out of the city at a high speed.

"Brother Hong, should we tell the county master about this?"

"Shut up, Hades fight, we little ghosts, just shrink our heads and nest.

Remember, the county lord changes every three years, and we can stay here for generations!

Whoever we offend, we all have to peel off our skin.

It's better to be blind, you don't know anything, you don't know anything. ”

The city gate official who was called Brother Hong glared at the person who came to ask him in a whisper.

If it weren't for his brother-in-law, he would have been slapped to the city wall.

I've been following myself here for so many days, and I still can't figure it out like this.

The county seat is far from Baishuidu, and if you use a horse-drawn carriage, it will take at least half a day to get there.

Ke Ning Lao San and his party quickly whipped up, but it took three hours to arrive at Baishuidu.

It's just that, if it rains today, I don't even see a leaf on the white water crossing.

The ships that had been parked here before were all gone.

Tie Liu and Ning Laosan followed Baishuidu all the way up to investigate the traces.

Finally, there is a village on the upper five miles of road.

This village looks like only a dozen families.

As soon as Tie Liu and Ning Laosan appeared, the people in the village immediately surrounded them, staring at them with vigilant eyes, and their faces were full of defensiveness.

"Uncle, I want to ask, do you know where the boats on the white water ferry have gone?"

Among those villagers, the leader was an old man with white hair, and Ning Laosan asked politely.
