Chapter 714 (1/2)
The bandits of Menghu mountain, after confirming Lu Xiu's identity, shut them up in a big room.
As the days passed, Lu Xiu became more and more afraid. He said to Luo Shuigui, ”Uncle Luo, if Yuxi doesn't care about us, what should we do?”
Luo Shuigui didn't worry about it, saying, ”Mrs. cloud is not a miser. Moreover, the old lady is still there, and she won't give up on her face.”
”I'm sorry, auntie,” said Luhan, with a face of shame, ”I did you harm.” Northwest July harvest, in addition to 50% of the field tax and necessary corvee, there is no other taxes. When the news reached Shanxi, many people who couldn't survive wanted to go to the Northwest for a living. However, if you want to go to the northwest, you should not only avoid the government, but also pay a toll to the bandits of menghushan.
It had been arranged. After a night's rest in the town of Longtian, we could cross the tiger mountain and enter the northwest boundary the next day. It turned out that in the evening, Luhan saw a little girl being bullied and couldn't bear to help for a while. They had been pretending to go to the Northwest for a living, and Luhan's move was suspected.
It's impossible to say that Lu Xiu doesn't complain at all, but she knows it's no use blaming Lu Han: ”don't be so impulsive in the future, and do everything according to your ability.” I'm too busy to pity others.
Luhan lowered his head.
Luo Shuigui heard the sound of footsteps outside and said to Lu Xiu, ”someone is coming.” Knowing their identity, the bandits of Tiger Mountain didn't treat them badly. They would send them food and drink every day. Although the food is bad, but tube full.
As soon as the door opened, the sunlight came in, which made Lu Xiu and others not used to it. Han Hao came into the room and saw Lu Xiu. He called out, ”second lady.”
Lu Xiu to see Han Hao, tears came: ”Han Hao, brother and mother can be ok?” Now that Han Hao has arrived at the stronghold, it shows that they are saved.
Han Hao nodded: ”the old lady and the old master are both very good. Don't worry about the second lady.” Qiu's illness can't be known to the bandits, or the other side will ask for a higher price.
The bandit who brought Han Hao said, ”OK, I've confirmed that I can go.” Hong Feihu proposed to confirm the hostages first and then discuss the conditions.
Although Han Hao didn't say anything, the appearance of the people showed that they were negotiating with the bandits. Lu Xiu wiped his tears and said to Luo Shuigui, ”Uncle Luo, we are saved.”
Luo Shuigui believes Yuxi's character: ”I said earlier, Mrs. cloud will not leave you alone.”
Lu Xiu said the truth: ”Uncle Luo also knows what his husband has done?” At the beginning, her husband almost killed Yuxi. She was worried that Yuxi was jealous of them.
Luo Shuigui shook his head and said, ”Mrs. cloud is not as narrow as that.” If Han Yuxi was so mean, he would not manage the vast northwest well.
There was no problem with the hostages. Hong Feihu began to bargain with Yi Da. Yida's family asked for a ransom of one million yuan.
When he heard that the other side asked for a million yuan, Hong Feihu smiled at the two provinces and said, ”if you are the son of our general, it is possible to ask for a ransom of 1 million Liang. It's a pity that you are only catching my wife's nephew. ”
Seeing that Yida was in charge of reducing the price to 600000 Liang, Hong Feihu said: ”my wife only promised to pay money to redeem people out of morality. But if you have such a big appetite, that's fine. With this money, what kind of immortals can't our second uncle marry? ” With a daughter-in-law, I'm worried about not having a son!
It's not stupid for Yi Da to be in charge. He just asked for money. He sat down and exchanged money: ”five hundred thousand Liang silver, no less.”
Hong Feihu said: ”big masters, we don't wear Ji, a price, fifty-two thousand silver. If you like, I'll go back and let them prepare. If you don't want, I'll do it. ”
Yida, who was in charge of the family, bit his teeth and said, ”two hundred thousand Liang silver can't be lowered any more. If not, that's fine. ”
Hong Feihu stood up and said, ”100000 Liang silver, if you don't agree, what will you do if you want to deal with these people?”
Yida killed 200000 liang when he was in charge of the family. He didn't want to lose any more: ”200000 Liang, when the money arrives, I will release people.”
Seeing this, Hong Feihu stopped bargaining and said, ”four days later, I'll give you an answer.” It's up to my wife to agree with me. If she doesn't agree with me, I'll be blind.
After the second leader left, he mumbled, ”it's a pity that he didn't catch Han Jianming and Qiu Shi.” If you catch these two, you will get at least 500000 liang of silver.
”A hundred thousand liang of silver is good,” said the black man In the past, I couldn't live any longer. I could go to Suiyuan county to grab some. Now, there is no return. But the people on this side of Shanxi are so poor that they have to live on their own. What else can they rob. As for Luliang, they could not enter.
After letting the second in charge go out with the Blackie, Li Li Niang said in a low voice, ”the big in charge, let's leave here when the money gets to us!” He offended Han four years ago, and now he wants such a large amount of ransom. If Han sends his troops in a rage, they will have to finish it.
