The two parties were not familiar with each other, so they nodded, said hello, and went to the accommodation arranged by the host.
The village chief's house has a large courtyard and many houses. There are many people in the family, so even if you squeeze in, you can squeeze in a few rooms.
Song Qiu and others did not want bedding, which relieved their worries and made three rooms available for them.
Let Mian Mian and A Yin squeeze in with them, leaving two rooms. Yang Dalian and Yang Dalian sleep three in one room, and four benches sleep in one room.
Those who live in a large courtyard with green bricks and tiles, their families are not that poor. What they eat for dinner is white rice and dried rice, which is also meaty and delicious.
The village was pitch dark at night. After dinner, the group rested early. They wanted to get up early and go on their way tomorrow, so they wouldn't bother others with breakfast.
In the middle of the night, there are occasional dogs barking in the village, and there are a few dark shadows of cats under the corner of the wall outside the blue brick courtyard. The shadows of trees are scattered here and there, almost blending into the courtyard wall.
In the cool breeze, a strong figure slapped away the mosquitoes flying on his face, and said in a low, rough voice: "Boss, do you want to do something?"
Someone said angrily: "The powerful girl who captured Liangzi and the others is here too. I'm afraid I won't be able to get anything done if I take action."
"There are so many of us, and why are we afraid of that little girl? If we don't take action, they will enter the county government office tomorrow and it will be difficult to save them!"
"Isn't it the crime of abducting and selling women from good families? Maybe they will be beaten with dozens of sticks and imprisoned for a few years. At most, they will be exiled. Otherwise, don't...well, we will...rescue them when the time comes?" The man himself became more and more talkative.
I have no confidence, especially when everyone is staring at me.
"Save! Save! We are all good brothers. If we don't save, we can't do it!"
"Boss, whatever you say, we will listen to you!"
The boss was watched by the brothers, and finally gritted his teeth, "We can't let them end up in the county government! Otherwise, their money will be wasted! Take action!"
The boss gave the order, and the younger brothers all grasped the white swords in their hands.
The wall of this courtyard is not high. One person used both hands to do squats and fists to provide support, and one by one they easily stepped up and climbed over the wall.
Several silhouettes of cats entered the courtyard and began to explore each room.
"Gu~gu~gu~" someone cried.
After a while, there was also a subtle bird call in response.
The man excitedly pointed to a room and silently gestured to his companion: "Here."
Others broke the window paper of several nearby rooms and blew smoke inside one by one.
Then several figures gathered towards the room.
In the same way, he blew the smoke in, and before blowing, he did not forget to give a signal to his companions in the room.
After the smoke blew, the entire courtyard was so quiet that even the sound of breathing seemed to be invisible.
After half a quarter of an hour, the leader raised his hand, and several people quickly opened the door and went in.
"Ryoko!"
"Hey! Boss, we are here!"
The room was pitch dark, and it was possible to see things clearly with only the dim moonlight. The people on the bed were fast asleep, and the three people tied to the bed were sitting together.
The two sides met, and Liang Zi and the others were untied, "Let's go!"
The group of people walked out in a hurry.
As soon as he ran out of the house, the first person stopped suddenly, and the people following him were forced to stop. The last person didn't know what was going on and asked: "What are you doing, boss? Hurry up!"
After finishing his words, he raised his eyes and looked forward, only to see a slender figure standing in the center of the yard, and he immediately closed his mouth.
A group of people couldn't figure it out. Didn't they blow the smoke? How come there are still people who are not fainted?
Liang Zi shrank back, her shoulder, which she had just randomly asked the doctor to bandage with some medicine at the town office, was still aching, "Boss, this is a tough problem."
The boss nodded secretly, he knew.
But no matter how hard it is, it still has to be done.
"superior!"
Before he finished speaking, everyone, including Liangzi, rushed forward and surrounded Aling.
One slash to the left, one to the right.
After only ten breaths, there was a continuous ouch, and a group of people fell to the ground, covering their arms, legs, and chests.
The only one still standing, besides Aling, is the boss.
The boss swallowed a mouthful of saliva, grabbed the knife and rushed forward without hesitation.
This was a man who knew how to use two brushes. He didn't fall down with just one move. He had to withstand a few moves before he was defeated. He took a few steps back and spit out a mouthful of blood.
What a master!
The boss was full of fear, "Let us go, I will grant you whatever you want!"
Aling chuckled, "I'll kill you!"
Boss:......
I was thinking about whether I should just go all out and fight to the death, maybe I could find a way to survive.
Suddenly, there was light in the yard, illuminating everything.
I saw that in the originally silent room, everyone except the owner of the house came out soberly, including the Yatou people.
The boss looked shocked, "How could..." The smoke has no effect?
The Yatou also looked complicated for a moment before he cheered up and waved his hand, "Tie them all up!"
In a moment, all the injured thieves were tied up by the guards.
Song Qiu looked at the ten people in this group. They were all different in height, short, fat, and thin. They all looked a bit vulgar. They were equivalent to human traffickers in later generations. Traffickers who abducted women were the most abominable ones.
of.
According to the Dali law, thieves are severely punished, but there is no death penalty for human traffickers, which is really regrettable.
However, depending on how many people they kidnap and traffic, the severity of the prison sentence will be several years. It is best to die if you can't survive.
She looked at the Yatou and said, "Lord Yatou, please be careful this time and don't let them escape."
The Yatou snorted, but he didn't sound as bad as before at the inn.
After all, if this group of people hadn't warned them before, they would have been tricked by now, and the prisoner would have been rescued. What happened to them would be the loss of their skin.
He still accepted the favor, and he couldn't bear to say thank you, so he bowed his hand, which was considered an attitude.
I had been on guard against anyone making a move just now, but I hadn't slept soundly yet. Now that the thieves have been caught, I can have a good night's sleep.
Song Qiu fell asleep and fell asleep.
However, I didn't sleep for long. I slept for a whole night and it was already getting dark.
The village chief's wife had already gotten up and boiled hot water and was about to prepare breakfast. Song Qiu quickly said that there was no need to prepare their breakfast. They washed up and left.
When the Yamen heard this, he said he would not have breakfast and left immediately.
The village chief's wife did not dare to say anything to the Yamen, so she agreed. She only saw that there were several more prisoners tied up and pretended not to see them.
After washing up and putting on the car, the group was ready to leave. Song Qiu took a bunch of money and handed it to the village chief's wife.
When the yamen saw this, he thought about it and took out a bunch of money. Anyway, since he was using the public account, he would make less money.
The village chief's wife didn't dare to ask for it, so she was frightened by the Yamen's sharp voice and hurriedly took it trembling.
We are still more than ten miles away from Pingling County. There is no town in the past, so if we want to have breakfast, we still have to go into the city.
The party did not delay and immediately set off on the road.
There were also two mule carts on the Yatou side, but there were so many prisoners that they couldn't squeeze in. They were dragged behind the carts, and the speed slowed down. By the time they finally caught up with the driveway, Song Qiu and his party had disappeared.
.
The head of the Yamen sighed, thinking that it was already dawn and nothing could happen, so he asked his men to keep an eye on the people at all times and rushed to the county seat.
