Chapter 131: Send a ransom

Gongsun Yan hugged the Hengdao in his arms, looked at Gu Du with affectionate eyes and said, "Thank you, Master."

Gu Du did not respond, but looked at Feng Jiu and asked, "Is anyone running away?"

Feng Jiu shook his head and Gu Du said, "Go back to the village."

When he returned to the village, Chang Yun asked someone to pile up the sword armor, and Gu Du said, "Let's divide it, there will be something in the future."

"The boss is mighty! Thank you!" Everyone was excited because only the people brought by Chang Yun had swords and armor, and the rest were using hatchets or axes. Not to mention that they were all equipped, there was still Fuyu.

After the split of the sword armor, Gu Du said, "The government army will come to encircle and suppress it sooner or later. Who can make bows and arrows?"

No one responded, Gu Du said to Feng Jiu: "There must be a bow and arrow, otherwise it will be difficult to hit."

Feng Jiu replied: "I'll go and find a way, but I'm afraid there will be no time."

Gu Du said: "As long as the surname Meng is still in our hands, it will be time."

Feng Jiu nodded and said, "Then I will do it now."

"Wait a minute." Gu Du waved and said, "Look at me."

Feng Jiu lowered his head, Gu Du whispered a few words in his ear, and Feng Jiu nodded and replied, "Disciple understands, let's do it now."

Feng Jiu left, Gu Du called out: "Brothers, in a few days, the government army will send us silver and bring your axes and hatches. We have to fix the storefront."

"Okay!" The crowd agreed in unison, all of whom were very happy, but Yu He had a face falling apart.

Gu Du asked Gongsun Yan: "Can you do needlework?"

Gongsun Yan replied: "Yes."

Gu Du said, "I will draw a look when I look back and make a big banner."

Zhang Hao returned to Lingzhen County and asked someone to call Guo Youfu, saying with a cold face: "The thieves are in power, and Lord Meng is in their hands. I dare not attack him. I still feel wronged that Mr. Guo will prepare for the ransom. I will redeem Lord Meng first, and then clear out this group of thieves."

Guo Youfu bowed and agreed, "The people of the grass will do their best, but the amount is huge. Please give me some time."

Guo Youfu had no choice. He lost the man on his village and the government army had been there. There was no way to save him. Although the 100,000 taels were not a small amount, fortunately he didn't have to pay it himself. Anyway, the money was always paid. Lord Meng came here to ask for money on this trip, but it was just a different way.

Zhang Hao said, "Mr. Guo, as soon as possible."

In the village, Gongsun Yan took the rattan into the room where Lord Meng was imprisoned. Lord Meng said in a crying voice: "Girl, I just twisted you. You have beaten me for two days. You should avenge any revenge. Please spare me."

Gongsun Yan said in a hatred: "I have a good life and I have been saved by my master. How many miserable women have you been an official for many years?"

After saying that, he swung the rattan and sucked it at Lord Meng, making Lord Meng scream without a voice.

Fengjiu went to Bai Cong's house, and Gu Du explained three things. The first thing was to find craftsmen to make crossbows and arrows. The bandits were not soldiers and had no time to train. Although the crossbows were slowly turned, anyone could shoot them accurately.

The second thing is to hide silver. One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. One hundred boxes will definitely not be placed in the parable. On the one hand, they are afraid of bandits stealing, and on the other hand, the government will definitely encircle and suppress them. If they want to run away, the silver cannot be taken away.

The third thing is to borrow people. Including Gu Du and others in the village, there are 41 people. If the troops garrison come to encircle and suppress, they will definitely not be able to defend them. Therefore, they have to borrow people from Bai Cong, and it is best to recruit some.

Three days later, Zhang Hao led his soldiers and drove more than a dozen carriages and pulled a hundred boxes of silver to the foot of Hu Xiaoshan, and sent someone up the mountain to deliver the message.

The bandits who were on guard took the officers and soldiers back to the village. This was Gu Du's explanation, but they only went to the gate of the village and did not allow the officers and soldiers to enter. The bandits who were on guard came in to report.

After a moment, he came out and said to the officers and soldiers: "Our boss said that you should carry the money up and put it at the door."

The officers and soldiers went down the mountain to tell Zhang Hao that Zhang Hao was so angry that his face turned blue, but there was nothing he could do. He had learned Gu Du's ability, not to mention that Lord Meng was still in the village, but it was good. He would carry the money up and at least know where the village was. He would not have to search the mountains next time he came.

One hundred boxes of silver were moved to the gate of the village in three trips. During this period, Zhang Hao stood at the gate to look at the gate.

There are thick wooden thorns on the village gate, one foot long, and the front end is burned with fire. There are deer villages on both sides of the door and one person is tall. There are arrow towers on both sides of the door. Although there are no crossbows, there are bandits holding crossbows and armor. There are castles above the door, connecting two arrow towers.

This is not an ordinary bandit camp, this is a military camp, easy to defend but difficult to attack!

Zhang Hao understood Gu Du's intention to let him move the silver to the mountain. First, he would not give him the chance to estimate how many people there were in the village. Second, he would let him see the defense of the camp with his own eyes, and don't think that he could lead troops to clean up easily.

Zhang Hao looked at Gu Du in the door and said, "The boss, the money has been brought up. Let my elders come out?"

Gu Du raised his hand and waved him. Two bandits pushed Lord Meng over. Lord Meng shouted: "Save me quickly, save me quickly!"

Gongsun Yan swung the vine and gave it to Lord Meng, which made Lord Meng cry and scream.

Zhang Hao frowned and said, "Boss, is this too much?"

Gu Du said: "She is the girl Guo Youfu dedicated to Lord Meng. Do you think it's too much?"

Zhang Hao said awkwardly: "Let me go."

Gu Du said, "You misunderstood. I just let you see. Lord Meng is neither dead nor missing his arms and legs."

Zhang Hao glared and asked, "You don't know your trust!"

Gu Du said, "If it were you, should you hide the silver first? One hundred boxes of silver will have to be moved for two days, right? I'm leaving Lord Meng now, you will come to attack the village and then grab the silver back?"

Zhang Hao had nothing to say, so he could only ask: "When will the person be released?"

Gu Du replied: "You will come and get people at noon in five days."

Lord Meng shouted: "No! Save me out quickly! This little slut beat me every day!"

Gongsun Yan swung the vine and slapped it on Lord Meng's face. Lord Meng screamed in a whisper, bleeding from his mouth and nose, but Gongsun Yan kept squeezing his face one after another.

Zhang Hao shouted: "Stop!"

Gongsun Yan suddenly turned around and stared at Zhang Hao, and shouted sharply: "When this dog official bullies a civilian girl, did you ask him to stop?"

One sentence choked Zhang Hao, and Gongsun Yan scolded again: "You are wearing strong and holding sharp edges, not going to protect the country and the people, but helping dog officials bully the people! You eat the people's food and spend the people's money, but you will only show off your power in front of the people. You are a group of animals that are worse than pigs and dogs!"

All the officers and soldiers were scolded and looked embarrassed. Gu Du looked at Zhang Hao and said, "Let's go, why bother to bring shame to yourself?"

Zhang Hao looked at Gu Du and asked, "Five days?"

Gu Du nodded, Zhang Hao turned around and left, and all the officers and soldiers followed him away.
