Chapter 70: Robbed by Water Bandits
Jian Kou's foot was stamped accurately and hard, and the heel of the boot happened to be stuck in the wound of the torn muscle.
Blood poured out of the man's arm like dirty water coming out of the mud, soaking through the dusty ground.
A terrible scream resounded in the two courtyards in front and behind, startling the other slaves to look around in horror, and even Song Ji, who had fainted on the ground with half-truths and half-truths, raised her head and looked out of the door in surprise.
In the entire courtyard, I'm afraid only Jian Kou was not moved by this cry.
His heels were still pounding, but there was no expression on his face, as if he were an insignificant person.
And the empty right eye socket is like a dry well, exuding a suffocating darkness.
It wasn't until the slave's face on the ground was twisted into a dried old tree from pain that Jane Kou lifted his feet.
Jian Kou slowly squatted down, looking indifferently at the distorted face.
"If I ask, you answer, if you say too much or say something wrong, you should have been able to guess the consequences."
After Jian Kou's warning was finished, the sweaty, pale slave nodded very reluctantly.
"Did you come from the lake, or did you come from the mountains?"
The servant was a little surprised in fear when he heard Jian Kou's words, but he didn't answer directly.
The servant hesitated for a brief moment, and Jian Kou stood up and stomped his hand mercilessly.
Once again, the terrible screams resounded throughout the courtyard.
After a few breaths, the slave lying on the ground finally stopped exhausted.
"Let me ask you again, from the water or from the mountains?"
"Water, water." The servant grinned.
Jian Kou ordered the soldiers to take off the opponent's boots, and sure enough, he saw calluses thicker than ordinary people on the soles of his feet.
The expression on Jian Kou's face didn't show any change, as if he was thinking about something.
"Who is your thief?"
"He Bing"
Jian Kou knew every water bandit on Onozawa very well, and the scale of this He bandit was second only to Guo Kai's number, and there were seventy or eighty people who made a living by doing wet work on the tip of the knife all year round.
With Guo Kai being exterminated, they may have swallowed up many of the remaining bandits, and perhaps the number has increased recently.
Whether it is a water bandit or a bandit, they only dare to run rampant in the lakes and mountains far away from the county seat, and rarely dare to approach Changyi County, let alone enter the county seat.
"Then I'll ask you again, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to send a message to Mrs. Tian."
This time, the slave did not hesitate and told the reason in pain.
Jian Kou heard something different, this water bandit didn't send a message to Tian Buxi, but to the coquettish ladies in the house.
The twists and turns seem more interesting than the conspiracy.
"What kind of message, tell me honestly, don't let me ask more."
"He Bing said that the floating wealth has been transported to the lake, so Mrs. Tian found the right time and ran away."
"What is the relationship between that Mrs. Ru and He Bing?"
"It seems that it is, it is a distant cousin and cousin, but in fact, Mrs. Natian is He Bing's concubine, and they were already on good terms before He Bing went to the lake."
Jian Kou's expression was cloudy, and things seemed to be a little wrong.
"Go on, tell me everything you know."
Under Jian Kou's questioning, the slave endured the pain and told everything one by one.
Jian Kou listened quietly, and soon understood seven or eight points.
It turned out that this Song Ji and He Bing were usually called cousins, but in fact they were a pair of adulterers and adulteresses.
By chance, Song Ji was accepted by Tian Buxi as Mrs. Ru, because of her good ability to serve people and help with advice, she quickly gained Tian Buxi's trust.
However, what Tian Buxi didn't expect was that the dog man and woman didn't want to ask for a little favor from him, what they wanted was the large amount of floating money in Tian Buxi's hand.
Of course, it was impossible for He Bing to take people directly into Changyi County or Gaocheng to snatch Tian Buxi's mansion, so he could only wait step by step, looking for an opportunity.
What I didn't expect was that Tian Buxi, who was startled by His Royal Highness, really started the idea of transferring floating wealth, and he really asked He Bing to do it outside the city.
So, this He Bingyi didn't stop doing anything, and when he was halfway there, he robbed the floating wealth and transported it to the old nest in the lake overnight.
And this slave came specifically to report to Song Ji, so that she could find an opportunity to escape to the lake as soon as possible.
I didn't expect it to be so coincidental, but it happened to be blocked in the yard by Jian Kou.
This slave is not a person with a city government, he thought that his whereabouts leaked the news, which attracted Jian Kou and others, so it was reasonable that he jumped over the wall in a hurry, but it was he who picked it into the fire pit.
What a coincidence.
This Tian was cunning for a lifetime, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would be the adulterer and adulteress.
After Jian Kou listened, his face was very ugly, he was not interested in the real green crown on Tian Bu's head, he only thought about how much floating wealth was transported away.
His Royal Highness is making a big move in the Prime Minister's Mansion today, in order to be the money that Tian Bu stingy embezzled, if the amount of floating wealth that was robbed is too large, how can An Le Xiang explain to His Highness?
"What's that amount of floating money?"
The tortured pale slave came to his senses as soon as he spoke of money, and his face was refreshed with a greedy look.
"Before I had time to count them, more than a dozen truckloads were shipped out overnight, all of which were heavy gold, silver and copper coins, estimated to be at least two million!"
Two million dollars!?
Jian Kou gasped, he had seen life and death on the battlefield, and he boasted that he had long lost interest in women and money, and only used it when he needed it.
But the amount that is heard now is really staggering.
According to the posture of His Highness making a big fuss in the Prime Minister's Mansion today, if he knew that his two million dollars were left halfway by a group of unknown water bandits, he didn't know what crazy things he would do.
Jian Kou didn't dare to slack off, he ordered the soldiers to tie up all the people in this courtyard, and sent two more people to escort them directly to the lieutenant's mansion.
At the same time, the soldiers who left two more Shi to control this outer mansion of Tian Bu Xi, although Jian Kou knew that there were not many valuable belongings in this mansion, but he still could not take it lightly.
It has nothing to do with him if the floating wealth that was shipped out is lost, and if the rest of the wealth is lost, he will not be able to leave it alone.
As for himself, he took a horse from the stable in the front yard and galloped straight towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was two or three miles away.
Jian Kou wanted to bring this shocking news to Changyi Xiang as soon as possible, so that Changyi Xiang could have a little more buffer time and think of a strategy to deal with His Highness.
