Chapter 714

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.

The leader of Yida had to say, "if you want to leave, you have to settle your brothers." These brothers, who have been with him for so many years, must have settled down before they can leave. Otherwise, he can't be at ease all his life.

Knowing that the bandits offered 200000 yuan, Qiu said if he wanted to or didn't want to, "redeem people, and tomorrow he will redeem people."

Hongfeihu murmured. Fortunately, he's not a bandit of Marlowe mountain now. Otherwise, if he meets such a rich and powerful person, he must have tied up and knocked a lot of money: "old lady, 200000 Liang silver is not a small amount. You have to ask your wife to make it."

Han Jianming took Qiu's hand and said: "Niang, you can't send silver tomorrow. Otherwise, these bandits will definitely start from the ground price. " See them so straightforward, once the other party repents, when the time comes to call a sky high price, the dilemma is Yuxi.

Qiu is in a hurry. He doesn't know people. After hearing Han Jianming's words, Qiu nodded and said to Hong Feihu, "please bring my daughter-in-law and grandson back." Shangda sent Qiushi to Suiyuan and went to Quanzhou City to meet Ye.

Hong Feihu said, "don't worry, old lady. I will bring people back." When you are a bandit, what you want is money. As long as my wife is willing to give up money, I'm sure it's OK.

Two days later, Yuxi got the news. Hearing that the bandits of menghushan offered 200000 liang of silver, Yuxi sneered, "it's really the lion's big mouth."

Xu Wu thought that 200000 liang of silver was too much: "madam, do you want to redeem people?"

Yuxi nodded: "people must redeem it, but I don't have so much money now." Yuxi has only 80000 liang of silver, including the money Yunqing gave her.

Xu Wu asked incredulously, "madam is going to redeem people with her private house."

Yuxi said in surprise, "it's my own business to save people. How can I use my money?" Yuxi didn't plan to use his money. If you take money from the public, it means that there is no division between the public and the private. This is a very bad beginning.

Xu Wu didn't expect that Yuxi would use his private house to redeem people: "madam, if you don't have enough money, you can borrow it from the public, and then you can pay it back."

Yuxi shook his head and said, "you can't open this head. If later the officials below are short of money and borrow from the public, will they not be fooled? " As a superior person, he must set an example. That's also when Yunqing joked that he would send her fish from the West Sea to eat. She said that.

Xu Wu thinks Yuxi's saying is very reasonable, but people have to redeem it: "madam, I only have 15000 liang of silver in my hand..."

Yuxi waved and said, "no need. Take fifty thousand liang of silver and pick out a box of gold, silver and jewelry. If they don't want to let people go, they will send troops to level the tiger mountain. " The latter sentence is just a threat. Sending troops is not a casual one. We have to think about it a lot.

Seeing the gold and silver jewelry in this box, Hong Feihu had a headache: "what they want is silver, not these jewelry." These jewels are valuable in good times. But in the turbulent times, the value has been greatly reduced.

"Madam has only fifty thousand liang of silver on hand, so she can only use these jewelry to discount it," said Xu Daniu

Hong Feihu felt that something was wrong with his ears and asked, "you mean that the lady has no money?" How is this possible? Let alone 200000 liang of silver, that is two million yuan, which madam can take out.

Xu Daniu said angrily, "all the money that the general found has been incorporated into the public.". My wife said that it's her own business to save people. She can't use her money. "

Hong Feihu some do not understand, said: "in the public injustice, is not a word of things." If Han wants to use money, the following people dare not to give it.

Xu Daniu said happily, "you don't understand. My wife is very principled. She said that the money in the company belongs to everyone. No one can take it without permission, including her. " With that, Xu Daniu also lifted the book bag: "what's the name of that sentence? By the way, it's for the people, and it's for the people." His wife is too virtuous to look up to.

It's easy to understand that we should take it from the people and use it for the people. "Madam Gao Yi," said Hong Feihu It's easy to say, but few people really do it.

Xu Daniu said, "tomorrow I will go to tiger mountain with you to redeem people. If they don't let people go, they will send troops to kill them without leaving any armour behind. "

Although Yida is dissatisfied, some of them are better than others. With these things, Lu Xiu and his party will be released.

On arriving at Suiyuan, Lu Xiuyi fell. After seeing it, the doctor said that he was over frightened and tired of running for a long time, so he fell ill.

Lu Xiu is young in the end, and he is no longer afraid in the northwest. After taking the medicine, his body will improve.

Han Jianming and Qiu Shi said: "Niang, my sister-in-law is OK now. I want to go to pickaxe city. After a while, when you are well, I will pick you up. " It's only a three-day journey.

Qiushi didn't stop: "you don't have to come to pick it up. When your daughter-in-law arrives, we should get well. Then we will go to pickaxe City ourselves."
