"Kill all the servants. Tie these two grandsons up and take them away. I have to exchange them for silver.”Ying Tianlong turned around and left.
At this moment, Gao Yamen, who had been standing beside Jia Yamen and had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke up,"Hmph, hahahaha, you have a sharp tongue. He killed all of our people and even held us hostage to exchange for silver. I'm afraid you don't have the life to exchange for this silver, let alone spend it, right? Why don't you take a look at this place? How dare you talk so big with just the dozen or so people you brought? You're really a toad lusting after swan meat. You overestimate yourself. Men, kill them all, whether they are male or female, dead or alive.”As Gao Yamen spoke, he looked at the place where Ying Tianlong was standing and pounced over. In his opinion, if a young master had a personal servant girl with superb martial arts and a group of guards who looked like wolves and tigers following him, then that young master was no different from Jia Yamen. Hence, he chose Ying Tianlong very accurately. As long as he captured him, everyone would have no choice but to surrender.
Hearing someone call the young master a toad, Yu 'er, who was originally protecting Zishan, couldn't take it anymore. She leaped into the air and spun in the air before pouncing straight at Gao Yamen. Not only that, Yu 'er shouted as she flew,""You're the toad, you're a stinky toad, a dead toad, a stinky toad.”
Gao Yamen charged straight at Ying Tianlong, not expecting Yu 'er to charge at him so quickly. When he was three steps away from Ying Tianlong, he felt a kick on his shoulder and back, and his entire body flew diagonally.
Gao Yamen, who had fallen to the ground, was about to get up when a foot stepped on his head again. Then, he heard an extremely angry voice shouting at him,"Say that you are a stinky toad, a dead toad, a stinky toad. Otherwise, I will crush your head today.”
What? So it was because I said that her master was a toad that made this little aunt so angry. Sigh, if I had known, I wouldn't have said it. I won't say it, okay? However, at this moment, Gao Yamen's head was being stepped on, so he couldn't say anything even if he wanted to.
"Yu 'er, don't crush his head. This guy is worth a lot of money. If you crush it, this young master will lose a hundred thousand taels of silver.”Ying Tianlong, who was standing still, protected the 'hostage' he was about to kidnap.
At this moment, Gao Yamen looked down on the man in golden clothes standing in front of him. He looked down on him very much. You're standing there and being protected by a delicate little girl. Who are you? Was he a toad that had eaten swan meat? If you have the ability, fight with me. However, Gao Yamen was very smart. He only thought about it in his head that was stepped on by Yu 'er and didn't say it. He knew that if he said this, his head would definitely be crushed.
At this moment, the black-clothed guards had already captured and tied up Jia Yamen and thrown him to Gao Yamen's side. Those hateful servants had also been mercilessly slashed to the ground by swords and sabers. Clearly, they were all dead.
Ying Tianlong clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the two yamen."I'm sorry, I was wrong."
What? He had killed and tied them up, so why did he mistake them? Was this person crazy or was there water in his brain? However, knowing that he was wrong was better than not knowing. If he admitted his mistake, it meant that he wouldn't really want to kill us. En, we are magnanimous. As long as you don't kill us, we won't argue with you for the time being. Although the Jia Yamen was tied up, he was not cut by a sword or a sword. He did not even suffer a punch or a kick. Therefore, his mind was still very clear. When he heard Ying Tianlong admit his mistake, he said,"Since you know you're wrong, then hurry up and untie the ropes that bound this young master and let this young master go.”His tone was loud, but his tone was very low.
"Hahaha. I was wrong because I shouldn't have mistakenly thought that you were only worth 100,000 silver. I feel that with your status, each of you should at least need five hundred thousand taels of silver. Only then can you be worthy of your glorious family background and the glory of your ancestors, don't you think so?”
Hearing this, Jia Yamen was very angry, especially when this guy always liked to say "isn't it". It really made Jia Yamen's lungs explode. Just now, he had said," Isn't that so?" He had made a fool out of himself. Now, he actually said that. Moreover, he had clearly said that the ransom was 100,000 taels. In just a moment, it had become 500,000 taels. He, he, he was really a f * cking scoundrel. However, anger was anger, and thoughts were thoughts. No matter what the outcome was, it was not something that the Jia family could control, so he could only helplessly accept the reality. Besides, did the Jia family have the heart and lungs? Even if there were, they were heartless. Even if he were to explode in anger, not only would no one feel pain, but there would even be people cheering him on.
Gao Yamen, on the other hand, had been lying on the ground without moving. Even if his head was in pain from Yu 'er's foot, he did not make a sound. It was because Yu 'er's foot was too strong, and Gao Yaya fainted.
"Men, cover their mouths, blindfold them, tie them up, and put them in sacks. Then, send them to the Immortal Island. En, three days later, I will write to your families and ask them to prepare five hundred thousand taels of silver each. When we are done, I will ask them to send the silver to the designated place.? Also, throw the corpses of these slaves far away and give some silver to the nearby residents to help clean up the ancestral hall. Don't let this dog defile the Sage.”
The dozen or so men in black were still silent like mutes, but after hearing their master's instructions, they all moved. Their movements were faster than rabbits running.
Soon, the two sacks were carried away, and the corpses of the scoundrels were thrown away. The blood outside the ancestral hall was cleaned up, and Ying Tianlong and Yu 'er once again strolled around the ancestral hall with their hands behind their backs.
From the moment Jia and Gao appeared to the moment they were tied up, detained, and killed, Ying Tianlong had made the decision almost instantaneously. If it was someone else, they would definitely not be so bold. Just imagine what was behind the two yamen? Let alone kidnapping them, even if you angered them, you would be in deep trouble. Now that the treasures of the two families had been kidnapped, the two families would definitely join forces and use the entire country's strength to capture the murderer. Who wouldn't be afraid? Who wouldn't consider it carefully?
However, Ying Tianlong was not afraid because he did not know what fear was.
He would weigh the pros and cons, but what he weighed was definitely not the same as what people thought. At this moment, Ying Tianlong was considering how the Jia and Gao clans would react if they kidnapped the two young men. What would happen to the escort of the silver? Then there was how to get the ransom back safely.
This was Ying Tianlong, the Ying Tianlong who didn't know what 'fear' was.
"Ta." The sound of hurried hooves and the neigh of horses came from outside the Bao Gong Temple. Then, someone shouted loudly,"Surround the ancestral hall. No one is allowed to enter or leave.”
"Yes." There were no less than a thousand people who answered, and the voice was so loud.
"Young Master, they called the army.”Yu 'er reminded Ying Tianlong.
"Yes, there are probably close to a thousand people, right? Yu 'er, do you think we should kill or hide?”God Ying Tian pulled Yu 'er and said. If anyone saw this, they would definitely think that it was two innocent friends whispering.
"Young master, Yu 'er thinks that most of these soldiers are only here under orders. However, when the battle really began, the ones who charged at the front were still the deceived soldiers.”
"Just say what you want to say. Why are you beating around the bush with Young Master?”
"No, Young Master. Yu 'er just wanted to say,' Why don't I leave with Young Master?'”
"Retreat?"
"That's right, Young Master. Firstly, it's beneath you to fight with those people. Secondly, Young Master still has many things to do. Third Young Master has just kidnapped two men and needs to deal with this matter quickly, so Yu 'er thinks Young Master should retreat.”
"Hahaha, I originally wanted to retreat, but I felt that it would be very embarrassing if I ran away. After hearing Yu 'er's words, I felt that retreating now was a very glorious and loving thing to do. Alright, listen to Yu 'er, let's retreat. Hey, Yu 'er, where are those three young masters? They, they-?"
"I saw them here just now. Why can't we see them after we walked around? Young Master, they must have left already, right? Didn't you hear anyone calling for arrest outside?”
" Hmm, maybe they really left," Ying Tianlong said as he turned around and bowed to the statue of Bao Gong."Elder Bao, please forgive Ying Tianlong's recklessness. In order to not damage your ancestral hall, Yu 'er and I climbed over the wall behind your ancestral hall and retreated. Please forgive me for my disrespect.”
After bowing and apologizing, Ying Tianlong pulled Yu 'er's hand and walked a few steps to the back wall of the ancestral hall. He pulled the onions from the dry land and brought Yu' er over the wall that wasn't too high.
The Bao Gong Temple was located on Xiangzhou of the Bao River. The Bao River was a small river that was not considered wide. In fact, even if it was very wide, it would not be a problem for Ying Tianlong. "Yu 'er, your qinggong is a little lacking. Come and lie on the young master's body. The young master will bring you across the river.”
"No, young master. How can I let you carry me? I'll do it myself.”
"Haha, Yu 'er, not only are you the young master's personal little mister, you're also the young master's woman, one of the young master's future wives. Come on, quickly get on the ground so we can leave early.”
" Yu 'er, Yu' er," no matter what Ying Tianlong said, Yu 'er just mumbled to herself. Ying Tianlong had no choice but to carry Yu' er by the waist, and the two of them jumped forward with the tip of their toes. Just as the two of them were about to land on the other side of the river, Ying Tianlong carried Yu 'er and made a big turn in the air. Then, the spinning force drifted across the Bao River and landed on the other side of the river.
When they reached the other side, Yu 'er struggled to get out of Ying Tianlong's embrace, but Ying Tianlong didn't let go of Yu' er and instead hugged her even tighter. What made Yu 'er even more' unacceptable 'was that Ying Tianlong took the opportunity to hug Yu' er tightly and kissed her pretty face a few times. After the kiss, Ying Tianlong, who was still hugging Yu 'er, said,"My Yu 'er is so good, always thinking of Young Master. Haha, that Gao Yamen just said that the young master was a toad, and Yu 'er almost crushed his head. Young master, I've seen it to vent my anger and be happy, so young master, I want to reward Yu 'er well and cherish Yu' er even more in the future.”
"Who asked him to talk about Young Master? Let's see if he dares to talk about Young Master again next time.”
"Hahaha, with Yu 'er around, I don't think anyone in the world would dare to call young master a toad anymore, hahaha.”
"Young Master, you're teasing me-"
He no longer cared about the people surrounding the Bao Gong Temple. They couldn't find anyone in the ancestral hall anyway, so they didn't dare to do anything to it.
Ying Tianlong and Yu 'er chose a relatively quiet street and returned to Yuelai's old shop. It was already noon.
After entering the shop and arriving at the guest room, the shopkeeper brought a pot of fragrant tea along with a waiter who brought water for washing up and personally came to Ying Tianlong's guest room.
"Young Master, you've worked hard. Please wash up and have some tea first. Lunch will be sent to you in a while.”The shopkeeper said respectfully.
"Shopkeeper, please take a seat. Let me ask you, other than me, no one else can enjoy the personal service of the shopkeeper, right?”
"Young Master, what are you doing?"
"Ha, it's nothing. Shopkeeper, are we going to keep this Yuelai old shop open?”
"Yes, Young Master, you--?"
"Currently, we don't have an official identity and we haven't accomplished anything yet, so we need to be careful when doing things, especially the inns, hotels, and brothels that we open. They are all places where we collect intelligence and monitor all parties. As a shopkeeper, you are personally serving me. If someone with ill intentions sees this, what do you think the consequences will be?”
"Oh, Young Master, this subordinate understands.”
"Haha, you've worked hard too. Go and be a real shopkeeper. By the way, I caused some trouble in Hefei today. You have to pay more attention to the reactions of all parties in the city. Also, don't forget to serve the immortal in the quiet room.”
"Yes, Young Master."
After drinking the second cup of tea, Ying Tianlong said to Yu 'er,"Yu 'er, we've kidnapped two young masters, shouldn't we at least tell their families?”
"Yes, you should tell them. Otherwise, they will be anxious.”Truly, one who is close to vermilion is red and one who is close to ink is black. Look, even Yu 'er is almost talking like Ying Tianlong.
"Also, someone has blasphemed the Pantheon Hall here. The magistrate of Hefei can't escape the crime of inaction, right? Fortunately, we stopped him in time. He should at least give us some blood to comfort us, right?”
"Yes, Young Master. The sudden disappearance of Jia and Gao in Hefei, I think the magistrate can't get away with it. If we take responsibility for this matter, won't he be innocent and free from punishment? Then he has to thank us even more." Yu 'er continued.
"Yes, Yu 'er is getting smarter. This is definitely a good reason. Well, I said you write-"
The prefect of Hefei was really in a terrible state. More than a dozen corpses had suddenly appeared in the backyard of the prefect's yamen. Then, the old prime minister's residence and Grand Commandant Gao's private advisor all came looking for him. First, we are looking for him. Both of them have disappeared in your Hefei Prefecture. Who else can we look for if not you? The second was to ask him for the murderer. More than a dozen servants were killed in your territory. If you couldn't hand over the murderer, you would be held accountable.
The prefect of Hefei kowtowed and bowed. In the end, he gave each of them 1,000 taels of silver before they managed to keep his yamen from being torn down. However, this matter was not over yet. The Jia and Gao residences left a message at the same time: Three days. If you can't hand over the murderer in three days and can't see the two yamen, then kill yourself.
He sent out all the people he could mobilize, but he couldn't find any clues even after searching all the inns in Hefei. It was as if the group of people had evaporated without a trace.
Therefore, the magistrate of Hefei expanded the search range to more than ten miles outside of Hefei. He searched all the villages, villages, temples, ancestral halls, and any place that could hide people. The result was still the same.
It was over. It seemed that his official career had come to an end, and his life was about to come to an end. Kill yourself. Even if you die, you can still let your family live. Otherwise, even without the old Prime Minister's anger, just a fart from Grand Commandant Gao would kill your entire family and even your entire family.
The prefect of Hefei had a good life. Just as he sent his family and the carriage that was filled with gold and silver out of the prefect's yamen, he came to the main hall and wrapped the prefect's seal and placed it on the case. Then, he moved a stool and put a few bricks on it. He threw a white silk over the beam and tied it up. He stepped on the brick on the stool and was about to put the head on the white silk. A servant girl who served the prefect's wife rushed in from outside the prefect's yamen in a panic with three big envelopes in her hands. When the little servant girl saw that her master wanted to commit suicide, she shouted,"Ah!"”Then he panted,"Master, Master, you must not commit suicide." By the way, Madam asked me to give this to you. Take a look. Madam said that we might still be saved.”The servant girl said as she helped the magistrate of Hefei down from the stool.
"What is this? How did you find out?" After getting down from the stool, the prefect of Hefei steadied himself and took the letter.
"I don't know. Madam said that as soon as her car moved, she felt a white light flash. Then, these letters appeared in Madam's hand. Madam took a look and hurriedly asked me to send it to Master. Old Master, you must not do that. If you do that, what will happen to Madam, Young Master, and Young Miss?”The servant girl sobbed.
"Oh, it's alright, it's alright. If I don't die this time, I might not die anymore. Give me the letter and tell Madam not to move for the time being. Let me finish reading the letter first.”The prefect of Hefei did not rush to read the letter and asked calmly.
The prefect of Hefei quickly came to the study and instructed the officials,"Guard the door of the study. No one is allowed to disturb this residence. No one is allowed to enter without the permission of this residence.”After giving his instructions, he entered the study room, closed the door, and went straight to the desk.
There were a total of three letters. The first letter had the words: The prefect of Hefei personally reported. The second letter wrote,"To be forwarded to the Jia Residence." The third letter wrote: It was handed over to the high house.
The prefect of Hefei took out the first letter first. After reading it, he could not help but be shocked. His entire body was soaked in cold sweat.
