The sudden scene startled Lin Yang. Fortunately, he had solid skills. When he saw the opponent slipping out, he knew something was wrong, so he shrunk back quickly.
With two whooshing sounds, something flew past his scalp, and in the time he retreated, Rossi had already jumped seven or eight feet away.
It's too late to pursue him any further. It's so fast. I didn't expect the other party to have such a life-saving skill.
Fortunately, only one Luo Xi escaped, and there were five others. Lin Yang called on his men to tie them up, pulled out the carriage that had been hidden in the woods, and threw it back to the city for business.
At this time, Lin Yang was talking to Yang Chun in the room. After taking a rest, Yang Chun's expression became much better.
Yang Chun looked very anxious, "Brother, don't worry about me. You go back to Hetou Village first. There are too many things waiting for you."
"Brother Yang Chun, you don't have to worry. I have asked Rumei to send a message to Liu Tie and others who rushed to Hetou Village early. Just bring the supplies that Tian Wenhao wants to bring. Anyway, those supplies belong to the imperial court."
Hearing this, Yang Chun sighed, "These should all be ours."
"No, I don't have such a big appetite." Chen Xiaobei smiled, "We don't have to go back in a hurry. We can go back slowly after you recover from your injury."
"No, brother Xiaobei, if it is really Lin Yang who led people to destroy those bastards in Dalin Kingdom, we must keep a low profile when we go back, otherwise the same encounter will happen to us on the way."
"Don't worry, they will only point the finger at the prince and won't do anything to us." Chen Xiaobei smiled and shook his head.
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the little girl ran in, "Brother Xiaobei, Brother Yang Chun, my senior brother sent people here, saying that they captured five over there and one escaped."
"The one who ran away after the interrogation is named Rossi. He is the leader of this gang."
Chen Xiaobei felt a little disappointed after hearing this. The most important person ran away. Can he still be stable in the future?
Yang Chun smiled slightly, "Okay, it's always a good thing to catch people. Let's send them to the prince's house and let the prince interrogate them."
After saying that, he turned to look at Chen Xiaobei and said, "We really have to go. It's never good news that someone slipped through the net."
Of course, Chen Xiaobei also understood very well. As the saying goes, if the tiger returns to the mountain, there will be endless troubles. It's okay to run away from someone, but he ran away from the leader of the thief.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, be afraid of the unexpected.
"Okay, then I'll go discuss it with Rumei."
Chen Xiaobei got up and went back to his room and briefly explained what had just happened. Liu Rumei frowned after hearing this. His thoughts were similar to Yang Chun's. If the leader of the thief escapes, what will happen next? No one dares to say this.
"Brother Xiaobei, what you said makes sense. We have to be careful, but I think their purpose of kidnapping you is just to lure Ding Laosan out."
"And now five of the six of them have been arrested. You just said that it was these six people who arrested you. This is enough to prove that the other party does not have extra manpower."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei's eyes lit up. Not to mention Liu Rumei, she was so calm and her analysis made sense.
"Yes, if we have enough manpower, we won't have to rush to catch me here, and rush over there to prepare to kill Ding Laosan."
"So, Brother Xiaobei, the only one left now is his thief Luo Xi. If he has more important things to do, he won't bother to kill us. If he has nothing important to do, I think he will probably flee Wanwan." It’s New Year’s Eve.”
"Then you mean it's safer to stay here?" Chen Xiaobei asked back.
"Yeah, let's stay and wait and see what happens in the past two days, and then decide when to go back."
After speaking, Liu Rumei slowly stood up, "One thing I don't understand is, did he go through all this trouble just to kill Ding Laosan? There seems to be something wrong here."
Chen Xiaobei smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong with this. Don't forget, maybe he always thought that Ding Laosan would rather die than speak."
Liu Rumei shook her head, "No, something is wrong. Think about what Brother Yang Chun said that day. Two gangs were fighting, but Ding Laosan and another person were just standing there, no one paying attention, and they were picked up by Yang Chun. gone."
"Did you just say that after catching the person and interrogating them, their purpose of going to the farewell pavilion was to kill the third child. Before it was clear what would happen at the scene, their goal was already clear."
"And I believe that the movements of the Prince's Mansion should be completely under the control of the other party. Through these changes, they should also know that Ding Laosan must have confessed."
"Oh, Rumei, what you said directly got me involved. I think this matter is simple. They just want to kill people and silence them. Maybe they think that Ding Laosan's most important secret has not been revealed yet. "
"Then if they kidnap you, His Highness the Crown Prince agrees to the exchange for Ding Laosan." Liu Rumei shook her head again, "The more I think about it, the more strange it becomes, but I can't tell what's wrong."
Looking at Liu Rumei with a frown on his face. Chen Xiaobei smiled and came forward, gently held her shoulders, pushed her to the chair and sat down.
"Okay, don't think about anything now. Just do what you said, let's wait here for a day. If everything is calm, how about we leave."
Liu Rumei looked at Chen Xiaobei and finally nodded slightly.
"Okay, then it will be as you say."
At this time, Hetou Village became lively.
Liu Tie and others who came to Hetou Village early were extremely busy today. Yesterday they received a letter from the capital, saying that the prince would send someone to receive military supplies, so they had to distribute some to the villagers quickly. Of course, Liu Tie and Liu Ce are not fuel-efficient lamps either.
Grain and dried meat are what the villagers want most. Of course, it’s okay to share a little of the grain in a house, but dried meat is different. Dried meat is also in short supply in this era. , so one family can only share two or three catties.
Seeing Cui Hongyu's cautious look, Liu Tie couldn't help but advise, "Sister, just send it to them with confidence and boldness. Whatever is left will count."
Cui Hongyu shook his head, "That's not okay. This is the imperial court's property after all. It would be too much for us to share more."
After speaking, he said to Chen Dayong, the captain of the village protection team, "I urge everyone to be strict with their mouths. When the army comes in two days, don't talk nonsense."
Chen Dayong laughed, "Sister, don't worry, no one will dare to say more."
"Besides, the hundreds of households like us are only getting a drop in the bucket. He still has so much left."
Cui Hongyu stopped talking and called on the villagers to receive his share and leave quickly.
Seeing everyone busy, Liu Tie gently tugged on Liu Ce's clothes, and the two left the four acres of land and turned to the river.
"I really didn't expect that we would stay in a place like this in the future." Liu Ce couldn't help but sigh.
