Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Regeneration of Branches (I)
Wan Boping wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and then told the ins and outs of the matter, but it was his eldest son Wan Tingchang who was kidnapped.
Hu Xiaotian was a little strange, this thing was indeed a little sudden, he thought that Wan Tingchang had left Qingyun County, who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen again.
Wan Boping took out a letter from his bosom and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Hu, just half an hour ago, someone suddenly sent this letter, I opened it and saw that it was actually sent by a horse thief from Tianluo Mountain, and my poor child was kidnapped by them......
Hu Xiaotian didn't say a word, took the letter and looked at it, but saw that it was very simple, in addition to explaining that Wan Tingchang was in their hands, they also put forward conditions to let Hu Xiaotian go to Heishi Village in the west of the city to heal Yan Boguang's injuries. After reading this letter, Hu Xiaotian has completely understood, no wonder Wan Boping will find him, the ultimate purpose of the horse thieves holding his son hostage is to use this as a threat, so that he can help treat Yan Boguang's illness, Hu Xiaotian secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that Yan Boguang's illness has recurred? It's just that this matter is a little strange, why did you kidnap Wan Tingchang as a condition? Do they think that Wan Tingchang's life is so important to them? What the is this logic?
Wan Boping said pitifully: "Wan only has this son left, and I hope that Lord Hu will help me rescue him." ”
Hu Xiaotian said angrily: "Isn't the second son alive and decent?" ”
This is equivalent to poking Wan Boping's sore spot again, although the life of the second son Wan Tingsheng was saved, he still can't remember the past, and only the eldest is left after talking about the whole son. Wan Boping approached Hu Xiaotian and said in a low voice: "Lord Hu." Actually, I know all about last night. ”
Hu Xiaotian was slightly stunned, looked up at Wan Boping's secretive face, and scolded in his heart, what does this old fox mean by this? Is it to threaten yourself with this? Damn, this old turtle really doesn't know whether to live or die, and he actually came to this set with Lao Tzu. Hu Xiaotian sat down on the Taishi chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked indifferent.
Wan Boping came to his side: "Mr. Zhou is temporarily living in my home, and he hasn't gone back so late, so Wan is naturally worried." Some things are not hard to find. The implication is that Zhou Wenju has told him everything that happened last night.
Hu Xiaotian sighed in his heart. After all, Zhou Wenju still leaked the news, and it seems that his explanation last night was not taken to heart by him. If you want to say that Zhou Wenju is an honest man this time, when it comes to scheming, he will definitely not be able to fight the treacherous and cunning Wan Boping, and there is also a medicine servant Zhou Xing by his side. Even Zhou Wenju didn't say it. Zhou Xing's mouth couldn't keep a secret.
Wan Boping said: "Master Hu." I will never spread the news of last night, so don't worry. ”
Hu Xiaotian looked at this guy with a sneer, as if he was giving himself a favor. Are you afraid that you will spread it? You actually used this as a lever to blackmail me? But after thinking about it, it was not a good thing to treat Yan Boguang last night, although he was coerced, but once the news of his treatment of the horse thief spread, he could at least put a hat on himself for not reporting it and aiding the abuse. “
Hu Xiaotian said coldly: "Wan Yuanwai, I heard it right, you are threatening me!" ”
Wan Boping said: "Lord Hu, Wan is hardworking, I don't want this matter to cause trouble to Lord Hu, and I hope that Lord Hu can understand my hardship." I swear to God that I have no intention of threatening your lordship. ”
Hu Xiaotian smiled a little disdainfully, Wan Boping was really cunning, on the one hand, he used this incident to put pressure on himself, and on the other hand, he wanted to sell favors to himself. He nodded slowly and said, "People, I can hand it over to you, but I won't go to this black stone village." "Of course Hu Xiaotian is not stupid, these thieves let him go by name, he is ready, if he ventures to the door like this, it is tantamount to putting his life in danger, and it is not worth it at all for a Wan Tingchang.
Wan Boping said: "Lord Hu, I don't want adults to take risks, but the horse thieves in this Wolf Mountain are fierce and cruel, they can do what they say, if the adults refuse to go, I am afraid that my son's life will not be guaranteed......" He cried as he spoke, because the wide robe and big sleeves covered his face, and Hu Xiaotian couldn't see whether he was really crying or fake crying.
Hu Xiaotian secretly scolded, your son's life is life, Lao Tzu's life is not life, I don't owe you anything, why should Lao Tzu take risks for your bastard son?
Wan Boping wiped away his tears and said: "My lord, I think they let you go by name, not necessarily because they wanted to harm you, after all, you saved the life of this horse thief, and they have to be a little humane." You should know about Entu. I also have no way to come here and beg my lord, if I can successfully rescue my son this time, I will take on the matter of rebuilding the Qingyun Bridge. "Reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, Wan Boping knew that he couldn't impress Hu Xiaotian without some blood in this matter, so he hurriedly threw out a condition that he thought was tempting.
Hu Xiaotian sneered: "Do you think that just one Qingyun Bridge can impress me?" "It's not cost-effective to exchange a bridge for a life, how can Hu Xiaotian be willing to do this kind of loss-making business.
Wan Boping lowered his voice and said: "If the Lord is willing to help rescue my son, I will definitely show this matter to Lord Yang of Xiezhou Prefecture, and do my best to make the Lord of the Lordship and the Lord of the Lord." He was clearly hinting to Hu Xiaotian that as long as he helped rescue his son this time, he would help Hu Xiaotian get the position of Qingyun County Commander through his own connections. In Wan Boping's view, this is already an irresistible temptation, but he doesn't know Hu Xiaotian's background and identity and disdain it at all.
Hu Xiaotian got up and said, "Let me think about it!" ”
Wan Boping said: "My lord...... Time is pressing, I can't think about it anymore, these horse thieves are inhumane, if they go late, I'm afraid that my son's life will not be guaranteed......" He began to cry again.
Hu Xiaotian had already strode to the window.
Wan Boping followed out, and saw Hu Xiaotian looking out the window silently, knowing that he was hesitating, and he didn't dare to approach for a while.
Hu Xiaotian stopped and thought for a while, and finally beckoned to Wan Boping.
Only then did Wan Boping dare to come to him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "These horse thieves are all extremely vicious outlaws, why don't you report to the government?" ”
Wan Boping said in a panic: "Lord Hu, this matter must not be reported to the government, if the horse thief shows any trouble, my son's life will definitely be lost." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "How can you conclude that they have captured your son, and whether they are deliberately deceiving you?" ”
Wan Boping took out a strand of head from his arms and said in a trembling voice: "My son has a wisp of red head, I will not admit it." They said that they would not see the adults in three hours, so they sent me one of my son's fingers. Hu Xiaotian smiled secretly in his heart, don't say it's one finger, even if he cut off all ten fingers of Wan Tingchang, Lao Tzu won't feel pity.
Wan Boping saw that Hu Xiaotian was still hesitating, and said in a low voice: "The adult's medical skills are excellent, and he will definitely be able to cure that horse thief." ”
Hu Xiaotian sneered: "Wan Yuanwai, you are so bold, you actually asked me to save a horse thief." ”
Wan Bo said in peace that you had already saved you last night, so what are you pretending to be innocent at this time? He had already made up his mind that if Hu Xiaotian was willing to take the risk for himself this time, if he resolutely did not go, endangering his son's life, he would definitely fight with him to the death, and he would not say anything.
Hu Xiaotian patted the windowsill lightly and said, "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, I hope your uncompetitive son can understand." He slowly sat down on the Taishi's chair.
Wan Boping didn't know whether he agreed or not, and said cautiously: "My lord...... Your decision is ......"
Hu Xiaotian said: "If I save your son, you must help me repair the Qingyun Bridge." "There is no need to negotiate terms with an old and cunning businessman like Wan Boping, so Hu Xiaotian naked/naked put forward his own conditions. What is the position of the county order, Hu Xiaotian will not care, Xu Qinglian is not his opponent at all, that person will be his sooner or later, and there is no need for Wan Boping to do it for him.
Wan Boping nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Hu Xiaotian said again: "If you want me to treat him, you have to obey my arrangement, I won't go to Heishi Village, do you know if they set a trap to deceive me?" ”
Wan Boping said: "Lord Hu, Heishi Village is a village inhabited by the Black Miao people, located fifteen miles west of Qingyun City. The Black Miao people there are hospitable, and they have always been at peace with Qingyun, and the owner of the village, Teng Tianqi, has also had some dealings with me, and they have no contact with the horse thieves of Tianluo Mountain, and the horse thieves of Tianluo Mountain never dare to go there to make trouble, so it can be said that you should not encounter any danger when you go to Heishi Village. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Let them send people here, otherwise there is no need to talk about it." ”
Wan Boping saw that Hu Xiaotian still insisted, and said with tears in his eyes: "Lord Hu, Wan Mou knows that his request is a bit excessive, but how can the horse thieves in Wolf Mountain be easy to talk about that day, if they can't fulfill their wishes, I'm afraid that my son's life will not be saved, Lord Hu, you only need to help me this time, Wan Mou will be a grass ring in the future, and he will repay with all his might." ”
Hu Xiaotian listened to Wan Boping's words to this point, and his heart softened, after all, this matter was caused by himself, not to mention that the other party was asking for himself this time, he should not dare to risk Yan Boguang's life, and there should be no danger for him to go to Heishi Village.
Wan Boping said: "Lord Hu, I will send six masters from home to accompany the adults to ensure that the adults are safe and sound." ”
Hu Xiaotian smiled, what can the gang of people under Wan Boping guarantee? If there was really a fight, he was afraid that those family members would be too busy to take care of themselves, and they would be able to talk about what to protect their own safety, so he said in a low voice: "You go back first, I'll go over and see the situation." ”
Wan Boping knew that Hu Xiaotian had finally agreed to him, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, he was grateful and said: "The great kindness of the adults, Wan Mou is unforgettable, but the adults must remember that this matter cannot be known to the government, there are many eyes and ears in Tianluo Mountain, as long as the soldiers and horses of the government move, they will definitely know about it, and when the time comes, my son's life will be lost." ”
Hu Xiaotian said indifferently: "You go back first, I'll deal with this matter." ”
On Monday, I asked for recommendation votes, and I implore you to vote for the recommendation in your hand, so that the medical system can be hung on the recommendation list.
