Chapter 261: Convincing
The white-haired old man waved his hand repeatedly, indicating that they did not know, and that strangers were not welcome into the village.
Ning Laosan and Tie Liu glanced at each other, unwilling to let the news be cut off like this.
Especially Tie Liu, after thinking about it, said to the white-haired old man.
"Since my husband is here, he must know about the Baishui Water Bandits, right?
If so, can you tell us a thing?
I want to spend money to redeem those who have been taken captive by the bandits.
Those water bandits, hijacking ships is just for money.
And there is no deep hatred, no need to harm people's lives, right? ”
Hearing Tie Liu say this, the white-haired old man just shook his hand, saying that he didn't know anything, and then the people in the village drove Ning Laosan and them out.
"Third brother, how is it now?
If something happens to Lin Ling, how can my heart be at peace? ”
Ning Laosi pulled a handful of his hair hard, and said to Ning Laosan with a painful face.
But after seeing Ning Laosan and Tie Liu glance at each other, they urged the horses to step aside, and then whispered.
Tie Liu did not hide his identity this time, and directly had a showdown with Ning Laosan.
He is a subordinate of Lord Tiexiongtie under the jurisdiction of the Jingluo Mansion, and this time he came to do it for the Baishui Water Bandits.
It's just that Lord Futai in the state capital has always been unresponsive to Lord Tie, so Lord Tie is often obstructed by Lord Futai for the arrest of the thieves under his jurisdiction.
In this, if you want to say that there is nothing greasy, it is unbelievable to kill Tie Liu.
It's just that every time I come to Baishuidu, the county lord here always pushes three, five or six, saying that there are no water bandits, and there is no need for Lord Tie to come forward.
But there are countless people who have died in this white water crossing.
There are even those who escaped by luck, like a horse in charge, and begged grandpa to sue grandma but did not get a response.
If the person who asked is in a hurry, these people who are lucky enough to escape will probably have an accident for no reason afterwards, and they abound.
Therefore, many people who have been suppressed do not dare to report it.
By chance, Tetsu-sama met a man who fell into the river and was rescued by someone who was killed by a bandit.
After learning about this kind of thing, he sent him to Baishuidu to inquire about the situation.
It stands to reason that when he came out of that city in the morning, if it weren't for the stomachache, he should have been in the same boat as the owner of the horse steward.
As far as he knew, the bandits of Baishuidu were not accustomed to attacking the caravan ships near Baishuidu.
Not to mention, the ship that attacked this time was not a caravan, but originally parked on the edge of the Baishui Ferry.
This proves one thing even more, the ship parked on the edge of the Baishui Ferry this time is probably not only waiting for the fat sheep of these caravans, but also waiting for him.
It's just that the person who reported the news didn't expect that Tie Liu would escape because of a temporary stomach ache.
"But we don't have a ship, so I'm afraid that the people who are robbed will be more than lucky!"
Ning Laosan thought back to the marks on the Iron Six Horses, and thought to himself, it was really exactly what he guessed.
It's just that even if the Iron Lord comes later, it is still unknown when he will be able to arrive.
Not to mention, there is no boat, even if that Iron Lord arrives, I am afraid that he will only be able to stare dryly on the shore like they are now!
"Don't worry about this, Lord Tie has already known in his heart, and he has already borrowed three warships and five hundred men from the sailor.
This time, we must wipe out the bandits who cross the white water. ”
Ning Laosan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Tie Liu's words, but his brows were still tightly wrinkled.
After all, if this water bandit really colludes with the government, if you want to completely eliminate this water bandit, not only to suppress the bandits, but also to arrest the people in the government who colluded with the water bandits!
Otherwise, even if the bandits are caught here, I'm afraid these bandits will be released over there.
However, it is not up to him to say this.
After all, if that Iron Lord was really committed to suppressing bandits, he wouldn't know what to do.
Tie Liu and Ning Laosan returned to Baishuidu's side, waiting for the arrival of the Tie Lord that Tie Liu said in his mouth.
Time passed, and the sky gradually darkened.
Just as a group of them were waiting anxiously, a flare rose into the air in the distance.
Tie Liu, who was originally a little sluggish, suddenly lifted his spirits, and said to Ning Laosan with a happy face.
"It's coming!"
Immediately, he also sent out a signal flare.
Ning Laosan immediately cheered up, and looked at the river with wide eyes.
The eyes that had been staring were a little sour, and I heard the faint sound of water burrowing into my ears.
I saw a few small boats rowing over from the dark river, and then I heard the cooing sound from Tie Liu's mouth, so I raised the gas death lamp and beckoned Tie Liu to get on the boat.
After Tie Liu got on the boat, he hesitated for a moment and glanced at Ning Laosan and them.
Then he whispered a few words to the people on the small boat, and the people on the small boat didn't agree, but Tie Liu repeatedly assured him, so he reluctantly nodded and agreed.
Tie Liu jumped back onto the shore and said to Ning Laosan.
"Lord Tie, they are afraid that the deployment will be leaked, so at most, they can only take you and your brother there.
If you do not wish, take your brethren with you and go back to the city and wait.
However, when you go back, remember to close the door in the inn and wait for the news, and don't go out and walk around at will. ”
Hearing Tie Liu say this, Ning Laosan's heart skipped a heavy beat.
What does this mean that there will be something going on in the city?
It's just that Tie Liudu hinted at himself like this, and he couldn't ask directly.
Gritted his teeth and glanced at the anxious fourth.
Presumably, if the Lin girl is not rescued, the fourth child will probably feel guilty about the Lin girl for the rest of his life.
"I'll go with my fourth brother, and the others, let them go back first and wait."
When Tie Liu heard this, he nodded, and Ning Laosan ordered the people below to go back to the inn first and wait for the two brothers.
He also told them not to come out at will after they returned, and waited until they returned.
Of course, if after five days, they haven't returned, then go straight back.
Then, the two Ning brothers followed Tie Liu into their boat and soon disappeared into the river.
"What should I do?"
The people brought by Ning Laosan this time are all from Zhuangzi, and they can be regarded as the house slaves of the Ning family.
Now the third master takes the fourth master to go into danger, but they can't keep up, if the third master and the fourth master really can't appear after five days, even if they go back, it will be difficult to explain to the old lady!
One of them, looking at the river where there was no trace of the boat, said in a deep voice.
"Since the third master has ordered like this, let's listen.
Wait here, it's better to go back, wait for Qing Niang to come back early, and you can also get an idea. ”
When everyone heard this, they all felt that it made sense.
After all, Qing Niang is a person in the old lady's courtyard.
In the eyes of these people, Qing Niang's prestige is not lower than that of the third and fourth masters.
The previous few dangers, relying on Qing Niang, they were able to pick up their lives.
Therefore, the people in the caravan, in addition to the third and fourth masters, the most convincing person is Qing Niang!
