Chapter 57: Li Kui halfway
Yu Ren sighed. He finally understood that the woman of Fang Cai should be—no, more accurately, a man; It's basically with these two bandits. It was he who plotted against himself.
Obviously, this is a trap, and it is specially designed for itself.
"Why? Why are you plotting against me? Yu Ren saw that the two bandits who had just pretended to flee had come back. And the man, disguised as a woman, also stood up from the ground. The ropes that were still tied to him had already fallen to the ground.
"Boss!" Without waiting for these people to answer Yu Ren's question, Xu Fatzi grabbed a stick that was only the thickness of chopsticks and rushed up.
Yu Ren sighed secretly in his heart: It seems that this fat man Xu can only do some manufacturing and invention work. He actually rushed up to these bandits with a small stick that couldn't even kill mosquitoes, and he didn't know if he wanted to save himself or commit suicide.
"Fatty, go! Leave me alone. Yu Ren shouted. However, it was too late. Before Xu Fatzi rushed to the side of several people, the man who was just pretending to be a woman had already flew up and kicked Xu Fatzi to the ground. Then he picked up the rope on the ground and tied it to him. also grabbed a handful of grass and stuffed it into Xu Fatzi's mouth.
Seeing this, Yu Ren could only sigh in his heart.
"Say it! Why frame me. Even if you want to die, you have to let me die to understand! ”
"Dead? Who said to let you die. We just want your arm. If you want to die, we're not against that. However, that comes at an additional cost. Those who do our business will never kill people easily without money; But as long as you are willing to pay a starting price, we can kill anyone. One of the bandits said, rubbing the sharp knife in his hand twice on his leg.
"Who called you here?" When Yu Ren heard that he didn't want to kill himself, his heart relaxed a little.
"Don't ask so much. In short, the master is taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others. Someone is willing to pay a premium for one of your old man's arms. We'll take just one of your arms, and one more fingernail for the other, and we won't want it. With that, the bandit came to Yu Ren with a knife.
"You can sell this arm for fifty taels, and you should be proud enough." The man said as he gestured with his hand on Yu Ren's arm, as if looking for the right place to take the knife.
"I'll give you a hundred taels, don't cut off my boss's arm." I don't know when, Xu Fatzi has already spit out the grass in his mouth.
"I'm sorry. I can't do that. The rule of our way is that when you receive money, you have to get things done. Now that I have received the buyer's money, I cannot afford not to cut off this arm. As for the rest, I'll have to wait until I remove this arm of his. With that, the bandit raised his knife and slashed at Yu Ren's right arm.
The bandit's knife had just been raised into the air, when a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the side. The arrow landed on the bandit's blade with unmistakable precision, knocking it to the ground.
The bandit was frightened by this sudden turn of events, and you must know that this arrow came quickly and suddenly, and with great power. If this arrow had not shot his sword, but the man who shot him, he would have been lying on the ground by now.
Yu Ren didn't expect that at such a critical time, someone would actually save his life. However, he couldn't figure out that his friends in Hangzhou City, except for Xu Fatzi and Huang Han, there were only Yang Ju and the "Mr. Zhao", these people were lying at his feet except Xu Fatzi, and no one else seemed to have a reason to appear in this wilderness in such a late night.
Who saved him? Yu Ren turned his head hard and looked in the direction of the arrow.
I saw two people walking out of the woods not far away under the moonlight. But due to the distance and the moonlight being too dark, Yu Ren couldn't see what the two looked like at all.
It wasn't until the two of them approached that Yu Ren saw it. It turned out that he really knew him.
One is Mr. Qu, who has only one side with Yu Ren, but has never spoken. Yu Ren saw him on a passenger ship at the port of Changle that time. That day, Mr. Qu came on the boat to invite Li Yu back.
At this time, Mr. Qu was no longer dressed as a scholar, but dressed in a short suit, holding an iron bow in his hand and an arrow naan on his back. Obviously, Fang Cai's timely arrow was his masterpiece.
Behind Mr. Qu was the bandit leader Liu Qiang, who looked very similar to Li Kui. Although Li Yu said that the two were not alone on the Changle boat that time, Yu Ren clearly knew in his heart that these two people were one person. Because they not only look alike, but also speak and behave in a style. Yu Ren didn't believe that two people were similar to each other, and they could be so similar.
This also shows that the robbery of Li Xianzhong and his entourage outside Fuzhou City was also an intentional arrangement by Li Yu in advance. It's just that she doesn't know why, but she wants to deliberately cover up the matter.
"Are you alright?" Mr. Qu stepped forward and took out a dagger from his arms and cut the ropes on Yu Ren's hands and feet.
"It's fine. It's good that you arrived in time, otherwise, I, Yu Ren, would have become a one-armed man from now on. Yu Ren said as he untied the rope on the fat man Xu on the ground.
"You're funny. Even with a trap as low-level as theirs, you can get in. I really don't know what our young lady likes about you! Liu Qiang, who was following Mr. Qu, was obviously a straight gut.
Fortunately, Yu Ren has always been thick-skinned, although he was bluntly exposed by Liu Qiang, he did not blush.
Mr. Qu glared at Liu Qiang, and he quickly closed his mouth.
"Liu Qiang is a rough man, he speaks without concealment, Yu Xianggong should not be surprised." Mr. Qu was obviously afraid that Liu Qiang would not be able to speak and offended Yu Ren. If he just offended Yu Ren, Mr. Qu would naturally not take it to heart. However, if the eldest lady is upset by this, it will be a big deal.
"It doesn't matter. What Liu Qiang said was not wrong. I'm a man who likes rough people with straight intestines. Look, mine isn't fine! As he spoke, Yu Ren deliberately raised his arm.
Several people laughed at Yu Ren's humor. As a result, the embarrassment caused by Liu Qiang's words can be regarded as over.
The three bandits were also very strange. They saw that Mr. Qu and Liu Qiang arrived to save Yu Ren, but they neither stepped forward nor ran away, but honestly stood aside with their hands down. I don't know if I want to climb relatives, or if I was scared stupid.
"Liu Qi, tell me about it! What's going on? ”
When Yu Ren heard Mr. Qu's words, he knew that they knew each other.
Mr. Qu saw that Yu Ren was fine, and saw that he didn't care about Liu Qiang's ridicule of him, and couldn't help but have a good impression of him. If Mr. Qu's initial judgment of Yu Ren was completely from Li Yu, then this is the first time that he has judged the young scholar in front of him based on what he has seen.
Mr. Qu's impression of Yu Ren is that he has a big belly and speaks wittily. It's just a little confusing to do things.
The man who had pretended to be a woman before saw Mr. Qu's question, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Mr. Qu. "I'm sorry, Mr. Qu. We didn't know he was your old friend. If we had known, we wouldn't have said that it was fifty taels, even if it was five hundred taels, we wouldn't dare to touch a single hair of his hair! ”
Mr. Qu glanced at Liu Qi, "I don't blame you." Everybody's out to mix. If you have a business, you have to do it. However, Yu Xianggong is a friend of our young lady. ......" Mr. Qu said this, and suddenly stopped talking.
As soon as those bandits heard that they were Miss Li's friends, their faces turned blue with fright, and they immediately fell to their knees and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Mr. Qu glanced at Yu Ren and said, "It's useless for you to beg me for this. The key depends on Yu Xianggong's attitude! ”
Liu Qi understood, and the three of them immediately turned to Yu Ren again, knelt at his feet, and wept bitterly. The lines that have been said by countless people are rotten: What, there are no eyes, and the sin deserves death; What, there is an eighty-year-old mother, and there is a child under the age of a month, and so on, and so on.
Yu Ren frowned and didn't speak.
After a long time, Liu Qi's heart was sinking downward, and when he didn't know how Yu Ren would punish them, he suddenly heard Yu Ren finally speak.
"You, you ......"
Liu Qixi couldn't help himself, seeing that Yu Ren was not angry, he judged that the situation should not be too bad.
"Yu Xianggong has something to say, just command. It is an unforgivable sin for the three of us to make such a big mistake today. I just hope that Yu Xianggong will save a small life for the sake of my eighty-year-old mother. ”
Yu Ren glared at Liu Qi, "You, can you not pull my pants so tightly!" ”
