"What!"
"Gu Dianshi was caught by bandits! How is it possible!"
Two days later, the government official who returned to the county town brought back bad news.
Everyone was gathered in the lobby of the county government. Chen Hongxin's face was full of shock. Zeng Lingchuan and Yang Feng, who were standing in the hall, reported the news as if they had lost their souls.
In fact, the large group of people who went out to suppress the bandits still stayed in Langya Mountain. Only these two guys came back to report the news and see what the next move would be.
Although Wang Zitong, who was sitting aside, pretended to be shocked, he was actually happy in his heart.
All changes are under his control.
"what is going on!"
Dutou Song said with a straight face:
"Hurry up and explain in detail, don't be confused!"
Judging from Song Ping's expression, he seemed to be greatly surprised by the news.
Yang Feng said with a sad face:
"The younger ones discovered the bandits' whereabouts in the mountains, and then Master Gu took us deep into the mountains and forests to explore the bandits' lair.
We squatted around the bandits' den until dark. I went to relieve myself in the middle of the night. When we came back, Master Gu and the others disappeared.
The younger one stayed in the forest for a long time at first, but because he couldn't wait for anyone, he retreated because he knew something was wrong. "
"Then what?"
Zeng Lingchuan took over and said:
"When we saw that Brother Yang was missing, we thought we had been caught by bandits, so Mr. Gu took us into the bandits' den to save people, but we never expected to be captured by the bandits as soon as we entered.
We were imprisoned for most of the day, and it was only in the evening that we broke free from the ropes and ran out while the bandits were not paying attention.
Unexpectedly, the bandits noticed something unusual and pursued us all the way. We got into a fight with the bandits.
During the fight, Master Gu and the other brothers were all injured and fell to the ground. Only the villain managed to escape. "
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. It seemed that the situation at that time was very dangerous. Wang Zitong listened with interest.
Chen Hongxin asked with wide eyes:
"Did you see Gu Dianshi injured with your own eyes?"
"Yes, I got stabbed several times."
There were even tears in Zeng Lingchuan's eyes:
"Mr. Gu fell in a pool of blood. I saw with my own eyes that several bandits swarmed up and kidnapped Mr. Gu.
Before Mr. Gu fell to the ground, he was still trying desperately to stop the bandits and give me a chance to escape.
Mr. Chen, you must save Mr. Gu! I beg you!
Master Gu is a good person! Woo hoo..."
A strong man like Zeng Lingchuan beat his chest and cried bitterly in public. What reason did anyone have to doubt what he said?
"Plop~"
Chen Hongxin, who had always been calm, fell into his chair:
"It's over, it's over, it's over, what can we do now!"
Gu Dianshi's mission is to rescue Biejia's daughter. If he is caught, what will happen to Biejia's daughter?
Even leaving aside Bie Jia's daughter, Gu Sinian was a talent that Chen Hongxin discovered with great difficulty. He had just helped him suppress the Wang family and the Li family, and now he was gone?
Chen Hong’s confidence aches!
"Master Chen, please don't worry."
Song Ping said in a deep voice:
"Right now, Mr. Gu is only injured and captured. Maybe the bandits don't dare to act rashly and kill people. The situation has not reached the worst point yet."
"Yes, sir."
Feng Tao also echoed:
"The top priority is to quickly send someone to take over the task of suppressing the bandits and save Mr. Hui Xiu!"
Chen Hongxin said with a frown:
"But now, who else can go to suppress the bandits?"
Song Ping's health has become worse and worse in the past two days. It is said that he coughed up blood several times.
"Ahem."
Song Ping coughed and looked at Zeng Lingchuan and asked:
"Weren't you captured by bandits? How many of them are there?"
Zeng Lingchuan responded without hesitation:
"There were about thirty or forty people, but most of them were armed with sticks and few sharp weapons such as knives."
"Thirty or forty people?"
Song Ping said in a deep voice:
"Then as long as we can find a hiding place, it's not too difficult to deal with. I'll take someone there!"
"Sir, in your humble position, you can lead the government servants to suppress bandits and eliminate harm for the people!"
At this moment, a loud shout spread throughout the lobby, and Wang Zitong stood up upright:
"Song Dutou is old and ill. How can he let Dutou do something like suppressing bandits?"
"Wang Chatou is willing to go and suppress the bandits?"
Chen Hongxin frowned inadvertently. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to leave this job to Wang Zitong.
"Other than a humble position, who else can lead the team to suppress bandits right now?"
Wang Zitong said in a deep voice:
"Sir, Master Gu is trapped in a tiger's den and is in danger.
I can’t wait to contribute at this time, so when can I wait? Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely destroy the Langya Mountain bandits and rescue Lord Gu! "
Chen Hongxin did not answer and hesitated.
Wu An stood up at this moment:
"Sir, only Wang Tou can handle the task of suppressing bandits. My subordinates can go with Wang Tou!"
Chen Hongxin was a little surprised. Why did Wu An help Wang Zitong speak up?
But it's okay, with Wu An following him, Wang Zitong won't be able to do any tricks.
"Okay! Leave it to you two!"
Chen Hongxin said:
"Bring more people and we must rescue Mr. Gu!"
"promise!"
Until the end, Chen Hongxin did not tell anyone about the kidnapping of his daughter.
If they could rescue Gu Sinian, Gu Sinian would definitely save others. If they couldn't even rescue Gu Sinian, would Bie Jia's daughter still have a chance to survive?
…
Wang Zitong was in a good mood when he returned to the house, and his laughter almost broke the ceiling:
"Hahaha!"
"Gu Sinian, you have this day too! Hahaha!"
The dog-legged military advisor Zhang Qingcai flattered him and said:
"It's Wang Tou who has such a clever plan. A young boy who dares to go against Wang Tou is simply overestimating his own capabilities!"
"Hahaha!"
Wang Zitong laughed loudly and asked in a low voice:
"Is there any news from Langya Mountain?"
"Yes, I just wanted to report the good news to Wang Tou."
Zhang Qingcai smiled evilly:
"That kid is dead!"
"died?"
Wang Zitong's eyes flashed fiercely: "Are you sure?"
"Definitely dead!"
Zhang Qingcai patted his chest and said:
"The people at Langya Mountain said that as long as Qin Da Scar is released, the body will be handed over to us."
"You're not lying to us, are you?"
Wang Zitong was still a little worried and said:
"That group of bandits also has a lot of tricks up their sleeves."
"Don't worry, head, I've checked everything."
Zhang Qingcai chuckled and said:
"Not only did Gu Sinian not come back, his personal follower Xiao Liuzi was also missing and must have been killed together.
Besides, Yang Feng secretly watched them being caught. How could they end up well if they fell into the hands of bandits? "
"Tsk, tsk, so happy!"
Wang Zitong shouted:
"This kid is finally dead. Ever since he appeared, I haven't had a good day, damn!
Just die, haha!
I want to see who else in Fengchuan County dares to go against me! "
"Ahem."
Zhang Qingcai said softly:
"Boss, but Qin Dascar is dead, are we??"
The relationship between Wang Zitong and Langya Mountain was basically left to Zhang Qingcai. As a close confidant, he was familiar with the overall plan.
He knew that Wang Zitong's so-called deal was purely to deceive the bandits. Even though Gu Sinian was dead now, if the follow-up matters were not handled well, he might be dragged into the mess.
"Haha, why are you panicking?"
Wang Zitong sneered:
"Go and gather people and prepare to suppress the bandits! Really suppress the bandits!
These bandits will only shut their mouths completely if they are buried in the soil! "
…
A few days later, dozens more government officials and jailers appeared in Langya Mountain. In addition to the people sent last time, there are now more than a hundred officers and soldiers in the mountain.
However, the leader was changed from Gu Sinian to Wang Zitong. Everyone's mood was a little depressed, and some people were already afraid.
After all, Dianshi was caught before the bandits were seen, and he died before leaving the army. This was not a good sign.
Wang Zitong summoned seven or eight people to gather together to discuss matters. Among them were Wu An, Zeng Lingchuan, and several of Wang Zitong's confidants, all of whom were small leaders among the jailers.
In order to successfully suppress the bandits, Wang Zitong brought out all the people he could mobilize.
"Please cheer me up!"
Wang Zitong shouted in a deep voice:
"I know that Gu Dianshi is in trouble and everyone feels sad.
But the suppression of bandits is an official order from Langzhou, and it is imperative! I hope everyone can cheer up and destroy this group of extremely arrogant thieves! Return Fengchuan County to a clear day! "
"Ahem, Wang Tou is right."
Wu An was the first to respond:
"But please let the king know how to suppress this bandit?"
Wang Zitong said seriously:
"The road conditions in Langya Mountain are complicated, the mountains are high and the forests are dense. To ensure nothing is lost, tomorrow I will take people to go around the bandits' den to check the situation. Wu Tou will lead people to stay behind.
If the bandits are still hiding there, we will strike with all our strength and uproot them! "
Wu An asked meaningfully:
"Wangtou, Mr. Gu is still in the hands of the bandits. If we all come out, what if the bandits jump over the wall and kill Mr. Gu?"
Wang Zitong glanced at him and said casually:
“When it comes time to fight, the situation will change rapidly and it will be difficult to arrange in advance.
If we can find Mr. Gu, we will naturally keep him safe. If something goes wrong, there is nothing we can do.
But Ben Tou believes that with Lord Gu's integrity, he is willing to sacrifice everything as long as he can destroy the bandits!
We just need to do our part! "
A big hat was placed on Gu Sinian's head. To put it bluntly, I don't care whether he lives or lives.
However, many of the people present were from Wang Zitong's side, and naturally had no objections to his arrangement. Wu An unexpectedly closed his mouth and remained silent.
Wang Zitong waved his hand with satisfaction:
"Then it's settled, let's disperse and prepare to suppress the bandits!"
"promise!"
After everyone dispersed, Zhang Qingcai stayed behind secretly and gave Wang Zitong a cryptic look.
Wang Zitong asked in a low voice:
"How's it going? What do you say over there?"
Zhang Qingcai replied:
"It's agreed that we'll meet in the woods tomorrow morning and hand over the person with one hand and the body with the other!"
"Okay, have you made arrangements over there?"
"Don't worry, boss, everything has been arranged."
"Haha~"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Wang Zitong's mouth:
"Then everything goes as planned!"
