Lu Ling followed Xiao Rong towards the wooden house he built. In the distance, he saw a dozen people of different shapes, each with a big knife in his hand.
The leader was full of beard and called himself Zhang Batian.
A group of robbers each held a bright broadsword in their hands and put it on the necks of Lao Yang and others.
Lu Ling was startled and quickly took Xiao Rong's hand and squatted behind a clump of grass nearby.
Xiao Rong asked Lu Ling in a low voice with a trembling voice: "Young madam, are they robbers?"
Lu Ling whispered: "It seems so."
Zhang Batian put the knife against Lao Yangtou's neck, with a ferocious look on his face, and said angrily: "Get your mother out of here, keep your belongings and house!"
Old Yangtou held his head in his hands and knelt in front of Zhang Batian, crying with snot and tears: "Your Majesty, the villain said that the villain was just hired to keep bees. This wooden house does not belong to my old man. These luggages It’s not mine either! I don’t have a penny on me!”
Zhang Batian pressed the sharp blade against Lao Yang's neck. Lao Yang instantly let out a sharp scream, which shocked Uncle Liu and the others, thinking that his head had been cut off!
Lu Ling hurriedly took a closer look and found that there was only a cut on Lao Yang's head and neck, which was not serious.
Zhang Batian threatened: "Your grandma still doesn't tell the truth? If you are not the owner, where did the carriage come from?"
Old Yang glanced at the carriage next to him and cried, "The carriage also belongs to the owner's family."
"Then where is your master's family?"
"I...I don't know..."
"Hey, you stinky old man, talk back! I've seen people like you pretending to be poor a lot. You wear shabby clothes and look like a pauper. In fact, you have a lot of money with you! You should hurry up and put your belongings away Hand it over, or I will kill all of you!"
The robbers who were escorting the other three people pressed their knives hard against their necks.
Uncle Liu took the lead and said: "Our master has gone back and won't be here until tomorrow!"
"Fuck your mother!" A robber kicked Uncle Liu hard on the buttocks. Uncle Liu fell forward and his face was covered in ashes.
The other two boys also said they didn't know.
Zhang Batian was angry, raised his knife and said angrily: "Chop them all! Brothers, we will live in this wooden house from now on!"
The robbers nearby looked excited, gearing up, and shouted in agreement: "Okay, boss!"
As he said that, he actually raised the knife.
Lu Ling couldn't stand it anymore. They really wanted to kill people!
She hurriedly gathered a handful of black mud on the ground and smeared her face black, and whispered to Xiao Rong: "Stay here and don't move."
Xiao Rong nodded frantically, and then watched Lu Ling walk out from behind the bushes.
Just when the robbers' knives were about to chop off the three heads, Lu Ling shouted: "Stop! I am their master!"
The robbers' movements froze, and they all turned to look at Lu Ling.
But they saw a woman with a black face walking toward them in a nonchalant manner.
Zhang Batian took a step toward Lu Ling, put the knife on his shoulder, and looked Lu Ling up and down.
"Are you really their master?" He obviously didn't believe it.
Looks extremely weak.
Lu Ling nodded: "Don't you want property? I'll give it to you and let them go."
Zhang Batian looked at Lu Ling again. The clothes he was wearing were indeed of good quality, and he looked like a rich man.
"You first bring some money out and I'll take a look."
After Lu Ling heard this, he reached into his sleeves and touched left and right, but found nothing.
A group of robbers stared at her.
Lu Ling reached for his waist again, pulled off a purse, and pinched it. There were probably a few broken pieces of silver inside.
"Hey, that's good for you to wear on your head. Bring it over." Zhang Batian looked at Lu Ling's bun.
Lu Ling reached out to his head and took off a gold hairpin and a jade scratching his head: "I went out in a hurry today and didn't bring much money with me. Let's do this. I'll give you my carriage and horses. You can take them. You can take this wooden house." If you want, I’ll give it to you too, but don’t hurt our lives, how about that?”
When Zhang Batian heard this, his face showed satisfaction, and he turned to the robber behind him and said, "Yes, this bitch knows the current affairs."
Upon seeing this, Lu Ling quickly brought the gold hairpin in his hand to Zhang Batian and handed it to him from a distance.
Zhang Batian took it, tossed it in his hand, and said with satisfaction: "It's a good product."
Lu Ling looked at him carefully: "Please let him go."
Zhang Batian turned around and said: "Let them go!"
Several people were indeed let go.
They quickly got up and ran to Lu Ling.
Zhang Batian immediately ordered someone to pull the carriage over.
Lu Ling and Lao Yangtou whispered as they walked: "Go back quickly and report to the officials so that the government officials can catch them."
Old Yangtou said: "My boss is so kind, I can't thank you enough!"
Uncle Liu pushed him and reminded him in a low voice: "Stop the ink stains. They will get over it after a while and we won't be able to leave."
Lu Ling nodded and waved quietly in Xiao Rong's direction.
Over there, the bandits were in great joy. One of the bandits, wearing a headscarf and dressed as a scholar, walked up to Zhang Batian, pointed at Lu Ling and his group and said, "Brother, do you really want to let them go?"
Zhang Batian looked at him in confusion: "Didn't those ladies leave all the carriages behind?"
The scholar showed a stern look on his face: "Brother, that woman looks like a wealthy person. She must have a lot of money at home. Why don't we tie her up and let her family use money to redeem her?"
Zhang Batian blinked, shook his head and said, "Well, she has already given her a gold hairpin, left a carriage and horses, and gave us her house. It is worth some money."
"Brother, I know your principles, but have you ever thought about whether those people will immediately send people from the government to arrest us when they go home?"
Zhang Batian reacted immediately and said loudly: "Yes, I shouldn't want her house, I should ask her for money!"
"Yes, get them back quickly!"
Lu Ling and the others had only run a few steps when they suddenly heard cluttered footsteps behind them, and Zhang Batian shouted: "Stop, girls, stop!"
Lu Ling was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and hurriedly said: "Run!"
Several people hurriedly ran forward as if their lives were lost.
Lu Ling and Xiao Rong, the two weak ones, fell behind soon after.
A group of robbers caught up behind them and put knives on their necks as usual.
Xiao Rong was so frightened that she cried. She grabbed Lu Ling's sleeve and shouted, "Young madam, I'm scared!"
Lu Ling looked at the gleaming knife, couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and said to Zhang Batian, who looked fierce, "Didn't we already make a deal? Jun Yiyan, it's hard to catch up, so why does the king regret it?"
"How the hell do I know if you will go back and report me to the authorities?"
Lu Ling bit his lip and said, "As long as you let us go, I promise not to report you to the official."
The scholar hurriedly said: "Boss, don't believe what this bitch says."
Zhang Batian said: "I don't believe your nonsense, so I'll tie this girl up! Let her family use money to redeem her!"
Old Yangtou and the others ran far away, then stopped and turned around to look.
After hearing Zhang Batian's words, they all looked at Lu Ling with sad expressions.
Lu Ling did not dare to move, so he could only say to Uncle Liu: "Go to my father-in-law and ask him to bring the money."
While talking, Lu Ling was already being carried toward the wooden house by two bandits.
The two boys and Lao Yangtou were also arrested, leaving only Uncle Liu to go back and report the news.
The scholar threatened Uncle Liu: "If you dare to report to the official, these people will never survive!"
