Chapter 40: Finding Someone to Save Someone
Regarding the origin and origin of this group of bandits, we have to start with Yu Di helping Yangjia Village to defeat the evil slaves of the Li family.
That day, the evil slave of the Li family ran back in a gray manner with only a pair of pants, and the leader did not report the matter after returning home, after all, it is not a glorious thing to run naked for more than ten miles.
However, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and in one day, the news that the people of the Li family were blocked from collecting grain and were beaten spread all over the nearby villages.
There is a way to learn, Yangjia Village does not sell grain at a low price, and other villages do not sell it at a low price, and those peasant men still shouted at the Li family to collect grain, "You don't dare to provoke the people of Yangjia Village, but we are easy to bully?"
The slaves of the Li family suffered a loss in Yangjia Village, and they had no confidence in collecting grain, and when they saw those angry peasant men, the bruises left on their bodies at the head of Yangjia Village ached faintly.
The grain collection steward was not doing well, so he was naturally blamed by his superiors, and his boss was actually Li Si, one of the three sons of Guangling City!
Li Si is the eldest grandson of the Li family, and it is not his turn to do this grain collection work.
On the Rouge River that day, Li Si spent a thousand taels of silver to buy the poems written by Li Jinmu in order to get on the boat of Concubine Yan, and even wanted to use thousands of taels of silver to buy the money from Yu Di.
Originally, this was not a big deal, and the gentleman could afford to throw some silver and listen to the sound of water, Li Si had done more ridiculous things in the past, and with the Li family's family assets, this little money was only a drop in the bucket.
But this time, after Li Si's father found out, he was furious, beating and scolding Li Si, and the rattan was broken. The reason for this is that the Li family, the largest grain merchant in Jiangdu Province, has an unstable background, and has recently spent a lot of money on the account.
The Li family's grain business can be the best in a province, saying that there is no backstage, breastfeeding children don't believe it, and the backstage of the Li family is the political envoy of Jiangdu Province, the leader of the entire province.
It is said that the essence of being an official is thick and black, the bigger the official, the thicker the face, the darker it is!
This political envoy will be transferred in the near future, and before he left, he didn't forget to make a handful, and received a lot of filial piety from the Li family, but this filial piety is about to become a meat bun and a dog, and there is no return.
After the Li family knew the news that the political envoy was going to be transferred, they also knew that they were pitted, but their broken teeth could only be swallowed in their stomachs, and the Li family did not dare to go to the political envoy to make a mistake.
Therefore, the Li family made calculations, thinking that the white flowers and silver they paid could not be wasted, and planned to get it back from below, and the object of this fishing back became the lowest farmers.
The Li family took advantage of the fact that the political envoy had not yet been transferred, and hurriedly lowered the price of grain to collect grain. In this way, there is a relationship between the political envoys, and other grain merchants do not dare not give face, in case the villagers make trouble and there is chaos, there are still people above to protect them.
Besides, after Li Si was beaten, Li's father arranged for Li Si to go down to collect grain, thinking that he would familiarize himself with the family business and let Li Si take care of it. As soon as Li Si took over the grain collection business, the news that the grain collection was blocked came, and he wanted to behave well, so that Li's father could look at him differently.
Li Si wants to perform, but his ability is limited, and throwing silver to visit the kiln is a first-class slip, and he has no experience at all in doing this serious thing. However, when Li Si was worried, Li Jinmu, who earned a thousand taels of silver for his poems, came up with an idea.
The obstruction of grain collection was nothing more than Yangjia Village taking the lead in making trouble, so Li Jinmu offered Li Si a plan and gave some silver to the evil bandits of the Jiaolong Gang, so that the evil bandits could destroy Yang Baochang's family.
This plan can be said to be extremely vicious, in order to collect food, the whole family will be destroyed, to achieve the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, and it is the people of the Jiaolong Gang who make a move, and they can also be pushed clean afterwards.
The Li family was able to contact the Jiaolong Gang because the Li family's merchant ships mostly operated on the Huai River, and the Li family did not pay less tolls in the past, and they all used grain as gold and silver, which was disguised to fund the Jiaolong Gang's bandits.
The Jiaolong Gang has the terrain to help each other, and it makes a lot of money to buy and sell silver without capital, but to feed hundreds of gangs, gold and silver alone are not enough, and food is also very important, so you can't let the gang go hungry and rob.
In this regard, the two have been going back and forth all year round, and they are familiar with each other a lot. And Li Si made a request to the Jiaolong Gang and gave him a lot of silver, but the Jiaolong Gang did not shirk it.
All of the above led to the scene of Yang Mi being tied up today, and the people who kidnapped her were the Jiaolong Gang.
There are more than a dozen people in the Jiaolong Gang, and from between them walking and standing, it can be seen that several of them are Lian Jiazi, especially the leader of the leader, his arms and veins are prominent, and the holes are powerful, so that there are actually two gilded sledgehammers, looking at the appearance of the sledgehammer, there must be a hundred catties to say the least.
These bandits originally planned to wait for the sky to get dark before entering the village, but in their eyes, the target was just a landlord and an old fortune, how much combat power could they have? I am afraid that it will not take a stick of incense to make the Yang Mansion not survive.
Coincidentally, the traces of this group of bandits were unintentionally broken by Yang Mi, and when the bandits saw the young and beautiful Yang Mi, no matter what, they would not let her go.
Fortunately, the leader of this group of evil bandits is a ruffian, seeing Yang Mi's beautiful appearance and good figure, he was faintly impulsive in his lower body, so he didn't kill Yang Mi on the spot, and planned to take Yang Mi back to have fun after finishing his errands.
The sky was completely dark, and the Yang family's mansion was brightly lit, and many people went back and forth with lanterns, calling Yang Mi's name from time to time.
Wang walked back and forth anxiously, "Master, what do you say?" I have searched back and forth in the village, but I can't see Mi Mi, she has never gone out alone before. ”
"Don't shake it in front of me anymore, it's useless to be in a hurry, maybe Mi Mi just hid and quietly, and I'll be back later." Yang Baochang comforted Wang, and at the same time comforted himself, seeing his anxious look, he was obviously worried about his daughter's comfort.
Yu Di stepped forward and said, "This matter is caused by me, so let's go look for it too." After speaking, without waiting for Yang Baochang to reply, he went out.
Yu Di sat in Yang's house for nearly two hours, and kept listening to Wang's chatter, although there was no complaint in his words, but Yu Di felt very uncomfortable, after all, he was the one who took Yang Mi away.
Out of the gate of Yang's house, Yu Di rode back to the orchard path, he took this road not to the orchard, but to the opposite direction of the village to find, thinking, Yang Mi did not go back to the village, and after looking for so long, he did not find it, it should be far away from the village, and the other end of the road to the orchard is also the road out of the village.
The sky is dark and dark, and although the room cannot be discerned, it is not a problem to see things clearly within ten zhang. He was able to do this because of the benefits that the snake gall bladder he swallowed.
The snake gall is bright, and the snake gall of the bamboo flower giant snake has a better snake gall effect, and swallowing the snake gall is not only a solution to the snake venom, but also makes him able to see his eyes this night.
Riding a horse out of the field, he walked to the woods, which was the place where Yang Mi was taken captive. However, there was no room for Yang Mi to suffer, because the trees blocked his vision, he could only call out.
"Miss Yang, are you here, Miss Yang?"
After a few calls, it was not the woman's whispering that left room for response, but two knives.
The knife is cut out from behind the bush, one knife comes down from the top of the head, one knife stabs straight to the chest and abdomen, and the two knives are merciless, both are killing moves, directly hitting the vital point of the human body.
The incident happened suddenly, but compared to the two steel knives, there was room for quick response. He could see at night, and when he saw the situation clearly, he jumped up from the side of the horse, and pulled out the goose feather knife from his waist before his feet could hit the ground.
"Who are you?" asked Yu Di with a frown, his eyes solemn.
The two knife-wielding gangsters didn't reply, but shouted softly and stepped forward with their knives.
Yu looked at their footsteps and the way they used the knife, cut it disdainfully, and said: "There are no threes, twos, threes, and they dare to go to Liangshan, and when they are robbers, they also have to bring some handles, I really don't know how to write dead words!"
"Ding!"
With just one knife, Yu Di knocked the steel knife in the hand of one of the gangsters out, and at the other person, Yu Di kicked his leg straight away, like a sharp knife stabbing straight into the chest and abdomen.
The three of them fought for a round, and one of the two knife-wielding gangsters lost his blade, and the other lay on the ground, screaming in his mouth.
Yu Di put the Yanling knife across the neck of the gangster who had lost the sharp blade, and asked, "Who are you?
The gangster felt the chill of the blade on his neck, and cold sweat flowed, but this person still had some backbone and didn't say a word.
"Don't say yes?"
Yu Di was not polite to him, kicked straight and kicked this person to the ground, and was accompanied by the wailing gangsters on the ground, "There are two of you, I only keep one, whoever opens his mouth will live, don't say that I don't give a chance, I count three, three..."
Backbone is very precious, not everyone has it, and not everyone is a bandit who spares his life.
Lying on the ground and wailing, the gangster didn't wait for any more time to count, and confessed again and again, "I... I said, we are from the Jiaolong Gang, and the girl is tied up over there, begging... Please don't kill me!"
"Jiaolong Gang!?" Yu was surprised, and then asked, "Why are you Jiaolong Gang people here?"
The gangster who lost the blade glared at the gangster and wailed at him, hating him, but he was also afraid of death, worried that he would kill him with a knife, so he hurriedly answered, "Our leader received the Li family's silver to teach Yang Baochang some lessons." ”
This man had a bit of a brain, and he said it more tactfully, and said that the disaster of destroying the door was a lesson.
"The Li family's lesson? Bring a knife to the door to teach a lesson? Hmph! How many people have you come?" Yu Di doesn't believe that the Jiaolong Gang people came all the way to teach people a lesson, these gangs of evil bandits dare to kill even if they are caught quickly, if the knife does not stain blood, are they willing to do it?
"Fifteen people, the others have gone to the village in the dark, and the two of us are here to answer and guard the girl. "The gangsters don't dare to hide it and confess honestly.
Yu Di's face was solemn, the secret way was not good, the village was full of peasant men, and the enemy could beat these knife-edged blood-licking bandits. He didn't talk nonsense with the two people on the ground anymore, kicking them to the ground one by one.
Immediately, Yu Di looked for the bushes, calling Yang Mi as he walked, and before he had gone far, he heard a whining sound, which should be from his mouth blocked.
Yu Di looked for a sound and left, only to see that Yang Mi was tied with his hands and feet, his small mouth was blocked by clothes, and he made a whining sound again and again, looking panicked and asked Yu Di for help.
The two were not far away, and they could clearly see that the cloth blocking Yang Mi's mouth was actually her underwear, and it was her cluff that tied her hands and feet. And she, with her embroidered clothes open, has no barrier between the white and tender chest and the evening breeze.
