The news that the Jin Yiwei had been killed soon reached Yang Yuan's ears, and the bandits also sent the waistbands of the Jin Yiwei.
"Tell your boss that Yang will personally deliver the money to Mr. Chen." Yang Yuan said to the bandit who came to deliver the letter.
As soon as the bandits who came to deliver the message left, a person on the side said: "Yang Tou, these bandits are so brave, they actually threatened us, asking for five hundred taels, and I don't even think about whether I have such a big appetite." "
There was a sneer on Yang Yuan's lips, and he said: "Give them, isn't it just five hundred taels? Why bother with a bunch of dead people?"
Immediately, he turned around and asked the person behind him, "When will the convoy coming to Hejian Mansion arrive?"
The other party said: "My subordinates have sent fast horses to see it. Calculating the time, we should be back soon."
Just as he was talking, a young and strong man ran over.
"Here we come." The man said, walked towards the young and strong man, and asked at the same time, "How's it going? When will our motorcade arrive?"
The young and strong man said: "We have arrived at Hejian Mansion. We can get here before dark."

The bearded man in the cottage sat on a large chair with one foot on the edge of the chair, holding a wine bowl in his hand, and drank heavily.
"Brother, if I had known that the people in the Tiger Flag would agree so happily, why not just ask for a thousand taels." Lao San said, holding the wine bowl.
The bearded man put down his wine bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "I do regret it a little. The Tiger Flag family has a big business, and people don't care about the little money, but for us brothers, this is a lot of income. If I really have a thousand taels of silver, why should I be a bandit? It would be better to be a rich man."
"That's what the elder brother said." Lao San agreed, "Why don't the people from the Tiger Character Banner come to the mountain this time? Let's ask them to get one thousand taels of silver. If they don't give it to us, the news that they killed the Jin Yiwei will be leaked."
"You must not." The second child sitting at the same table said, "The third child, we must not leak out the fact that we killed Jin Yiwei."
The third child said dissatisfiedly: "Why can't you say it?"
"Brother." The second brother looked at the bearded man and said, "We can use this matter to threaten Tiger Flag and ask for more money, but we must not leak it, otherwise even if Tiger Flag is in trouble, we still won't be able to escape. At the same time, It will also offend the Tiger Flag, which will not do us any good."
The bearded man nodded and said: "Second Brother is right. Third Brother, please be stricter with your mouth. The matter of killing Jin Yiwei must not be leaked out."
"Don't worry, brother, I'm not stupid," said the third child, "I just want to use this to scare the people in the Tiger Flag and get more money out of them."
"Second brother, what do you think?" The bearded man looked at the second child.
The second child shook his head slightly and said: "Brother, this matter is important. Since we have already asked for five hundred taels, they may not agree to any more. One thousand taels is not a small amount, and we need to prepare it in advance. , and we can only ask for cash, not banknotes."
"Well, the second brother is right." The bearded man nodded.
The third child on the side said unwillingly: "Brother, if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to get so much money from Tiger Flag."
The second child said: "Second child, have you ever thought about it, if you really want to anger Tiger Character Flag, with the strength of our village, can we withstand Tiger Character Flag's anger?"
"This..." The third child choked.
Not to mention the dozens of people in their copycats, even the copycats with hundreds of people are no match for the escorts of the Tiger Flag convoy.
In the past, there were several bandit dens with over a hundred people in Hejian Prefecture. All because of the idea of attacking the Tiger Character Flag convoy, the people of the Tiger Character Flag took the blame, and none of the bandit leaders survived.
The bearded man frowned and said: "Boy, you are smart. Do you think the people with the tiger character flag will kill people and silence them? You will even save money by then."
"Yes, it's possible. Otherwise, if we asked for five hundred taels, how could they agree so happily." The third child on the side nodded in agreement.
The second brother said: "Brother, don't worry. The people I sent to deliver the letter have checked. It's still the same people who came from the Tiger Flag. Just a few of them can't threaten our village."
"That's good." The bearded man put down his worries.
Not many people came to Hu Zi Qi. He felt that Hu Zi Qi was really willing to pay the five hundred taels of silver, rather than wanting to kill people.
"Brother, the little girl that brother captured last time is still locked up in the woodshed! How about letting her have some fun with brother tonight?"
While speaking, the third child licked his lower lip with his tongue.
"No rush." The bearded man waved his hand and said, "This little girl is the daughter of Wang Juren in the city. The Wang family is known as the king of half the city. His daughter is always worth a lot of money. Now that we have ruined his daughter, what about the ransom? Got it?"
"Brother, are you really going to put this little girl back?" Lao San said with a look of reluctance, "That little girl, with her thin skin and tender flesh, is much stronger than the girls we snatched up the mountain in the past. Let's just put it back. Isn’t it such a pity?”
The bearded man said: "Lao San, you fucking control your crotch. Even if you want to touch this bitch, you have to wait for his father to send the ransom."
The third child grinned and said: "Hey, brother, you haven't been happy yet, little brother, don't worry."
At this moment, a bandit ran in and said, "Master, Xu Juren has sent someone to deliver the ransom."
"Bring people in!" Bearded said.
Not long after, two bandits brought a frightened middle-aged man to the cottage hall.
The middle-aged man knelt down on the ground with a thud and shouted: "Good man, please spare my life, good man, please spare my life. The younger one is here to deliver the ransom. Please don't kill me, good man."
The bearded man glanced at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground and asked, "Have you brought everything?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I have brought them all. My master just wants to take the young lady back."
When speaking, the middle-aged man's body was trembling and his mouth was stammering, making it difficult for him to speak.
"Second Brother, why don't you go out and take a look to see if everything is in order?" the bearded man said to the Second Brother sitting below.
"Brother, I'll go take a look too."
The third child also stood up and followed out.
The middle-aged man's body was shaking like chaff, and he didn't even dare to lift his head.
The bearded man grabbed the wine bowl and took a sip of wine.
After the second brother came back from outside, he said: "Brother, the things are right, one pig, ten sheep, five stones of this year's new rice, plus a hundred taels of ransom."
The bearded man put down the wine bowl and said to the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground: "I've accepted the stuff. You can go back. Remember to tell Xu Juren that if you add twice as much of the same thing as this time, I will let you go." .”
"Ah!" The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground was stunned.
He didn't expect that even after paying the ransom, the bandits still wouldn't let him go, which made him wonder what he would do when he returned.
