After successfully entering the city, Nie Chen led them towards the flower building.
Although this is a small county town, because it is close to the border, the commercial trade is also good. There are still many wealthy people in the city. Accordingly, the consumer prices in the flower houses are higher and the girls are more beautiful.
The original owner often stayed in the flower building in the past. Nie Chen naturally knew the market and also knew that there was a private courtyard behind the flower building. He only needed to spend five taels of silver to stay one night.
After arriving at the flower house, the girl who greeted the guests at the door saw a group of them dressed in rags and pulling a cart of firewood. They looked like poor people, so she ignored them and asked the boy to come out and drive them away.
"Go away, you bunch of poor guys, don't stop us from doing business."
Nie Chen lowered his head, took out the remaining ten taels of silver, and said,
"The inns in the city are full. Let's arrange a courtyard. With the remaining five taels of silver, we can get some good wine and food."
The young man was startled when he heard this. He looked at the mysterious Nie Chen and then at the sturdy bandits. He immediately thought that this was a smuggling caravan that wanted to use the flower building to hide its identity.
These are all big business owners. If you serve them well, you will be rewarded with money.
"Hey, gentlemen, please come in."
Under the leadership of the servant, they bypassed the flower building and went to the backyard. Nie Chen chose a private courtyard.
He knew that the Peach Blossom Courtyard next door was the courtyard where Liu Chong often lived.
The trolley was also pulled in.
People in Hualou have long been accustomed to smuggling caravans like theirs. They just serve the food and drinks and leave without asking any more questions.
"Hmph, men are all the same. They are not good people, they just know how to visit flower houses."
Weng Qiuchan snorted coldly and glared at Nie Chen.
Nie Chen was too lazy to talk to this itchy dog woman.
It was getting dark at this time, and Nie Chen asked everyone to eat and drink enough so that they could work well in the evening.
After it got dark, the flower building became lively, and the sounds of warblers and swallows were heard endlessly.
Many bandits are a little itchy. They haven't touched a woman for a long time and they all want to have sex.
But Nie Chen called Da Zhuang and Weng Qiuchan to suppress them.
Nie Chen stood in the shadow under the eaves of the door, leaning against the wall, waiting for Liu Chong to appear.
He was also a little uneasy. He didn't know whether Liu Chong came today. If Liu Chong happened to not come tonight, then he would have no choice but to risk his life and secretly go to Liu's house to kidnap someone.
There was no chance of escaping, these bandits were keeping an eye on him.
After waiting for a full two hours, at around midnight, Nie Chen saw a young rich man walking over with frivolous steps.
In his arms was a girl, followed by two servants.
It's exactly what Nie Chen planned.
After watching the group of four people enter the peach blossom courtyard next door, Nie Chen turned around and entered his own courtyard.
"The people are already here, ready for action."
Hearing this, everyone stood up and took out their knives from the pile of firewood.
Under the leadership of Nie Chen, everyone took advantage of the night to climb over the wall and enter.
At the door of the courtyard bedroom, two loyal servants were standing guard. In the room, the sound of his master's breathing and the woman's moans could be heard.
As soon as Nie Chen waved his hand, the bandits behind him immediately rushed forward.
"Who are you?!"
The two servants discovered them and immediately shouted. The bandits swarmed up and put knives on their necks.
The two of them immediately didn't dare to say anything and peed their pants on the spot.
Nie Chen kicked open the door and led a dozen bandits in.
Liu Chong inside was working hard on his woman when a group of big men suddenly broke into the room and he was so frightened that he sowed his seeds on the spot.
The woman was so frightened by the sudden turn of events that she wanted to scream. Nie Chen rushed forward, covered the woman's mouth, and shouted fiercely,
"If you dare to speak out, I will kill you now!"
Weng Qiuchan grabbed Liu Chong's hair, dragged him to the ground neatly, and put the knife on his neck.
"You...who are you? Do you know who I am? You dare to break into my house, you are impatient."
Although Liu Chong was so frightened that he almost peed, he still managed to scare the other party.
"Knock them all out."
Nie Chen ordered coldly.
Da Zhuang led others forward, knocked the naked man and woman unconscious, and then carried them away.
Outside the door, Nie Chen said,
"Two people, with a servant, went to bring Liu Chong's carriage over. If he dared to make a sound on the way, he would be killed directly."
"good."
After returning to the small courtyard, everyone sat and waited for dawn.
Da Zhuang, who had always looked down on Nie Chen, now also looked at him with admiration and gave him a thumbs up to praise him for his courage and strategy.
Nie Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. This was just the first step. If you didn't get the money, you didn't win.
Liu Chong was tied up, his mouth was stuffed with linen, and he had no clothes on.
One of the bandits suggested that they go play with the kidnapped woman.
Before Nie Chen said anything, Weng Qiuchan pulled out the knife first, pointed at them and said,
"We are heroes who are upholding justice for God, not villains who bully women. Whoever misses women should use money to enjoy it instead. If I find out who bullies women, don't blame me for not recognizing anyone under the knife!"
Seeing the eldest lady getting angry, the bandits immediately fell silent.
Nie Chen glanced at this unruly young lady and felt better about her in his heart.
It was a rare occasion for Weng Qiuchan to come over and take the initiative to talk to Nie Chen.
"Hey, you bastard, I don't see how capable you are. Your ability to kidnap people is almost as good as my aunt's."
"You are too modest."
Nie Chen replied angrily.
"After the ransom comes, do you really want to stay in our village and be the second in command?"
Nie Chen smiled slightly and said,
"What? Miss Weng, do you really want me to stay? If you become my wife, then it doesn't matter if I become the second boss."
"You fart, I will chop you first!"
Weng Qiuchan's pretty face turned red. Thinking of the scene where she was scorned by Nie Chen today, she was about to draw her sword and kill him.
“Stop, stop, stop, put the knife away quickly, even if you beg me to stay in that shabby cottage of yours, I won’t stay.
When you get the money, give it to your father and then let me go free. "
"Let you go free? You are an exiled prisoner. Where can you go if I let you go?"
"I'm just a gangster who evades taxes. I can get away with just a little money. When the time comes, I can just be a rich man with peace of mind.
The devil will follow you and become a bandit. When the time comes, I hope your father will keep his promise. "
"Don't worry, my father has always been true to his word. If he says he won't kill you, he will definitely not kill you."
After speaking, Weng Qiuchan sneered, twisted her butt and walked away.
Huh, I'll just let you play for a while, and when I get the money, I'll kill you with my own hands.
Da Zhuang, who was sitting nearby, raised his head and looked at Nie Chen deeply.
He felt that Nie Chen was a talented guy and it would be a pity to let him go...
At dawn the next day, they carried Liu Chong and two servants into the carriage. Nie Chen took Da Zhuang and sat in the carriage, while the others followed behind and acted as guards.
All the way to the city gate, soldiers blocked the way to check. Nie Chen inside shouted angrily,
"You are so presumptuous that you are so blind that you dare to stop Mr. Liu's car and skin you!"
When the soldiers heard that Mr. Liu was inside, they were frightened and immediately retreated to make way.
He successfully left the county town and followed the trail all the way to the woods a few hills away from Qingfengzhai Mountain. Only then did Nie Chen ask everyone to stop, pulled several people out of the car, and slapped a few Dabi. woke up.
Liu Chong woke up leisurely and saw that he was tied up with five flowers and a group of people around him who were watching eagerly, and he understood his situation.
"Everyone, if you want money, just ask, I will give you whatever you want."
Nie Chen was wearing a black scarf and a bamboo hat on his head.
He asked Da Zhuang for a dagger. He first broke the rope on a servant, then walked up to Liu Chong, first gave him two big daggers, then took the dagger, grabbed Liu Chong's ear, and stabbed him Then he cut off his ears.
"ah!!!"
Liu Chong was rolling on the ground in pain and bleeding.
Da Zhuang thought he was noisy, so he stuffed linen cloth into his mouth.
Nie Chen took the ear, threw it to the servant, and said,
"Go back and tell your master, bring us five thousand taels of silver and we will release him.
Only one person is allowed to be sent here. If I see the second person, I will silence you.
After waiting for an hour, I would cut off a part of his body, ears, nose, tongue, eyes, fingers...
How long he wants to delay depends on how many parts his son has. "
"Yes, yes, the villain knows."
The servant held his ears and ran towards the county seat while crawling.
Seeing that he was gone, Nie Chen said to the two bandits with nimble legs and feet,
"Follow him from a distance. If the Liu family dares to report to the official, or takes many people out of the city, come back quickly and report so that we can take him and move him."
"clear."
The two bandits ran out immediately.
