Chapter 124: Food and Pay
Liu Bai was surprised, "Miss, did we go through so much trouble to kidnap them just to pass by? Since we can control them, isn't it a natural thing to take their food? These people are evil to begin with, are we going to try to persuade them?
"I think what Xiaobai said makes sense. Lotus, why didn't you call me?"
Su He saw Wang Bin coming with Tietou, and Wang Sheng also came over with his son in his arms.
"And me, I'll go too."
"Cousin, you don't have to go since you just had a son. Wen Niang will also be worried."
Wang Sheng was not convinced. "I have a son so I should go. I already have an heir. So, let Azhi take Xiao Shitou back. Give me this spot. Wang Zhi doesn't have a son yet."
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about? What's so great about having a son? I'll get married as soon as we're settled."
Wang Zhi felt that this unlucky brother must be thrown away immediately. "Go, go, go home and feed your child. Your sister-in-law must be looking for you."
Su He ignored the two men and said to Wang Bin, "Cousin, why did you bring Tietou with you? You don't have to go either. We have enough people."
"That's not enough. Dad said they should go too."
"uncle?!"
Su He thought everyone was crazy, these people thought it was a picnic.
"Yes, we all heard from grandpa. If grandma wasn't too old, she would go too."
Su He felt that this meeting could not go on, so she decided to go and try to persuade them first.
Several people returned to the inn in the town, and everyone stayed in the big bunk bed, making a lot of noise.
Su He quickly found a few village chiefs and asked them to persuade everyone to go back, otherwise they would be discovered before they even left.
Wang Zhun and others also cooperated and asked most of the people to wait on the large bunk bed at the side.
"Lotus, why didn't you tell us that this is everyone's business? You can't go alone. It's worth it for us old bones to go even if we die. It's just right to save some tolls."
Su Bingyi sat on the bed, and Su Yumin supported him.
"Grandpa Su, it hasn't come to that yet. Don't be too pessimistic. They only have 100 to 200 people, and we have 600. We are not afraid even if there is a group fight. I mainly wanted to use the most convenient way to get there, so I didn't alert everyone. Now that everyone knows about it, each family can send one person. It's okay if they don't. Two carriages are enough. If there are more people, it will be too conspicuous when we leave the town."
Zhou stood up and said, "I'll go too. I'm not as good as the men in fighting, but we women have to search for things. Your uncle is in his forties and he can't even find a pair of shoes at home."
My uncle Wang Fugui was suddenly embarrassed. "You bitch, we are talking about serious matters, why are you talking about these useless things?"
"Sister-in-law, count me in, I'll go too. Our Zhi'er hasn't married yet, so if we can find some silver, it will be a profit."
Jin pushed Wang Quangui aside and signed up for herself. When Ma heard about the silver, she immediately followed excitedly, because Liangzi in their family had not yet married.
"Wait, wait, wait, aunts, you can't all go. So, the majority of the group will stay here, and I'll pick a few to go. If it works, everyone can come back. If you want to search, search. If you want to fight, just win. If not."
"Let's fight them together."
The atmosphere in the room became inexplicably high, and Su He's originally uneasy heart suddenly felt at ease.
As soon as it got dark, it became quiet outside the house. Everyone in the house was so excited that they couldn't sleep. Su He had no choice but to take his people and leave first.
Two carriages were traveling on the dark official road, illuminated entirely by kerosene lamps.
After about 20 minutes, Su He, who was sitting in the front, called for a stop. Everyone parked the carriage under a big tree and walked forward with kitchen knives in hand.
Soon, they saw a lighted intersection ahead, with a dozen people guarding it.
There were few people coming and going at this time of night, and everyone was drowsy. Two men were standing at the intersection chatting, and a few others were sitting by the fire.
"They are few in number, so we might as well rush out."
There are also sixteen people on Su He's side, all carrying knives. Wang Zhi thinks they can give it a try.
"Wait, two of them left, Liu Bai, come with me."
Su He and Liu Bai followed behind the two men.
"Brother Wen, what are you doing here in such a cold weather? Who would come here in the dark? Everyone around here knows that they have to pay a toll. There is no need for us to be so cautious."
"You know nothing. You can't even read a single word. Just stay on guard and don't delay the important matter of the adults."
"No way, Brother Wen, when will you let me enter the valley? It's boring to collect tolls."
"Shut up, idiot. If you want to die, don't drag me down. Come back as soon as you're done."
Brother Wen finished peeing and left first. Su He walked up to him gently, took out the electric baton, pressed it to the maximum power and hit Brother Wen on the back.
Who knew that he would get so nervous that his hand slipped and the person fell to the ground numb. Brother Wen was still able to speak, "Who is it?"
Xiao Zhao was so scared that he peed himself. "Brother Wen, what happened?"
Su He made up his mind to hit Brother Wen on the ground again. Liu Bai rushed up and hit him on the head. After a few hits, Brother Wen was speechless.
Su He heard some noise nearby and saw that another person was trying to run away, so she rushed over with the stun gun. The first time was new, the second time was familiar, and this time she aimed at the target, and Xiao Zhao immediately fell to the ground foaming at the mouth.
"Xiaobai, go find them and come and kidnap them."
Su He walked over and hit the unconscious Brother Wen a few more times. Liu Bai looked at the weapon in Su He's hand. He had never seen this thing before.
"Don't tell anyone."
Su He raised the thing in his hand, and Liu Bai ran away without saying anything.
Su He stared at the two people on the ground intently, waiting for one of them to wake up and give him a blow.
Soon Wang Bin and his men rushed over. "Quick, tie them up and take them away. We will go and ask them first."
Ten minutes later, the two men were dragged into the carriage, and Wang Zhi and Wang Liang were guarding outside.
After being slapped dozens of times and having cold water poured on his face, Xiao Zhao finally woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard a questioning.
“How many people are there in your valley?”
"Help woooo ..."
After a few more slaps, Liu Bai lowered his voice and said, "If you dare to yell again, I will stab you to death."
Wang Bin and Su He in the carriage looked at Liu Bai in confusion. At this moment, Liu Bai looked more like the boss.
"I don't know either, woo woo woo, I'm just a kid, big brother, you should ask Brother Wen, he knows a lot."
"Say what you know."
Liu Bai did not give up. During an interrogation, one must take the initiative. It is not a good thing to follow the prisoner's thinking.
"I, I just want to collect tolls. The core brother Wen won't let me go."
Liu Bai put the kitchen knife across Xiao Zhao's neck. It can be said that if Xiao Zhao was loyal to Shan Gu, he would immediately sacrifice heroically.
"No, but I overheard a few times that something was hidden in the valley. Our daily silver is handed in, and from what I observed, none of it has been shipped out in the past few days. Hehehe, big brother, really, that's all."
The answer he got was the kitchen knife cutting into his skin, "Ah~"
Su He quickly covered Xiao Zhao's mouth with a cloth.
"I'll give you one last chance. If you don't behave yourself this time, I'll send you to see the King of Hell."
Liu Bai's voice was very soft, but it successfully gave Su He goosebumps. She suddenly felt that Liu Bai's silence was a good advantage.
When Su He took out the cloth strip, he could clearly feel Xiao Zhao trembling. "There is a lot of food hidden in that valley. It is the food and wages transported to the border from the south."
