Volume 2 The Puppet Son of Heaven Chapter 89 Compromise and Pay the Money
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the origin of this piece of paper.
At that moment, without waiting for Guo Feng to speak, Yu Shiting had already gotten up first, went to the door and snatched the paper from the hand of the soldier, and then swept the content above, and suddenly scolded angrily: "What a gut!" ”
At this time, the others also gathered around, took the paper from his hand, and looked at what had been written above, and then they all gritted their teeth and were extremely resentful.
When the paper reached Sun Ning's hand, the twenty or so people in the hall had already seen it.
I saw two simple lines written on it: "Two days later, when you are in the unitary period, the eagle head mountain in the north of the city will pay money to ransom people." If you dare to move a soldier, wait for the corpse to be collected! ”
There is no payment, but it is already obvious who sent the note.
And the Yingshou Mountain mentioned this time is really its mountain, it is more than ten miles away in the north of Liangzhou City, although it is far less complex than the terrain of Bishan, and the mountains are continuous, but it is not small.
"General, why don't you send troops to surround Yingshou Mountain and wipe them out!" Someone angrily suggested.
"No!" Without being reminded by others, Guo Feng had already shook his head immediately, "Now no one knows what the situation is over there. ”
"Yes...... If you really want to do what the kidnappers want, then don't you really let them succeed? ”
"That's the only option we have, because we don't even know who they are or where they are." Cheng Nantian calmed down at this time and sighed.
"Yes, five hundred taels of gold, I can still get it out of my family, but my son only has such one." Yu Shiting sighed even more.
And with these two statements, others also expressed their admit, after all, they are completely passive now, their son is in the hands of people, not to mention, and they don't even know how many thieves in the city are staring at.
If you really don't care about it for the sake of anger, no one can afford the consequences.
Guo Feng also nodded after pondering: "Then take a step back first, give them money, as long as people come back, one day they will be able to make them pay." ”
Only then did he look at Sun Ning again: "Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”
This is to ask Sun Ning's opinion, and it is clear that he will follow suit.
Sun Ning also looked like he was thinking about them: "That's the only way." But you must make sure that you are safe, after all, they are asking you to go into the mountain alone and pay the ransom......"
"Hmph, just a few thieves, forgive them for not daring to do anything to us! I wish I could meet them now! Wang Lie, who is a military general, immediately expressed his position, and then patted his chest again, "Ladies and gentlemen, just rest assured, we will definitely be able to keep you safe." ”
Guo Feng also followed: "Moreover, I will also mobilize troops and horses to surround the entire Eagle Head Mountain from afar." If something happens to you, I'll bury them with the whole family!" ”
Now, for the sake of their own Junyan descendants, these nobles and high-ranking officials in Liangzhou can only take the risk.
……
In the next two days, the city of Liangzhou was under martial law, and the streets were much cleaner, and many blind thieves were arrested and put into the prison for good rectification, which made the security in the city much better.
But what they really wanted to catch was the bandit's eyeliner or something, but they found nothing, and the time passed so quickly, and finally it was the day to go to Yingshou Mountain to pay the money.
In the afternoon of that day, a group of Liangzhou officials with high and low status, both civil and military, walked together and went straight to the mountain peak more than ten miles north of the city.
And last night, Guo Feng had secretly dispatched thousands of elite soldiers to advance into the vicinity and lay an ambush in that green forest, which was enough to ensure the safety of all of them.
Therefore, when they went up the mountain today, their hearts were quite calm, and it was only when they searched the mountain for a long time, but they did not see a single figure, and they did not even see a word of prompt, that the twenty or so officials who came to ransom them felt a little nervous.
Is this that those bandits found out that there were soldiers and horses besieging Shanzhou, so they had already fled?
If that were the case, wouldn't his own son be ......
In panic, they were divided into several teams, searching for clues all over the mountains, every cave, every wooden house.
It wasn't until it was completely dark, and they needed to light torches to see the road in front of them, that someone shouted in surprise from the mountainside: "Here, here......"
Although these adults were already tired and gasping, after hearing this cry, they still mustered up their strength and rushed over. There were a few stumbling along the way.
It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world.
Yu Shiting came to the small thatched hut with one foot deep and one foot shallow, his eyes widened as much as he could, and he looked inside, but he didn't see the figure of his son he wanted to see.
Not only is his son not here, but even the other young masters have not seen anyone.
There were only a few pieces of jade, and a few folding fans were thrown on the table in the room, and he took a closer look and recognized another piece of jade pendant that his son wore daily.
At that moment, Yu Shiting didn't care about anything else, hurriedly grabbed it, took the jade pendant, and then asked the others: "What about people?" ”
"No one, just these things, and a letter." Cheng Nantian smiled bitterly and handed over a letter in his hand.
He was the one who shouted here and called everyone over.
Yu Shiting hurriedly took the letter, leaned over to the torch and read it carefully, and then his face became gloomy: "How can this be reasonable!" This is clearly playing tricks on us! ”
The letter was written in two very simple words: "Leave the gold here, and in two days the man will return in peace." If not, wait for the body to be collected. ”
There was no room for negotiation, and there was only one way for them to follow.
No one expected that the kidnappers would come to such a hand, so it seems that the previous arrangements were in vain, and they didn't even think of showing up at this time, and they were also very cautious.
"What should I do?"
Everyone looked at each other, waiting for someone to come up with an idea.
In the end, Yu Cheng, who had the highest status, decided to do so, and they all came to this point, and if they didn't believe it, they could only believe the kidnapper's words.
After reaching an agreement, they could only remove the huge package they were carrying, put it all in this room, and then turned around and went down the mountain step by step.
And when the officer who led the troops at the foot of the mountain learned that this was the case, he also cursed a few times, and then left a group of men and horses to continue to squat, while the others escorted the adults back to Liangzhou City.
Because he had climbed the mountain for a long time and broken his feet, Yu Shiting, who had come down the mountain, was extremely tired.
After boarding his car parked in the forest at the bottom of the mountain, he couldn't open his eyes and wanted to sleep for a while.
As a result, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "Lord Yu, the matter is not over yet!" ”
