In the cold winter, everyone is reluctant to go out. Even if it was a sunny day, Shen Zhan was full of slander in his heart. The incense on this cold day running to Lingquan Temple is completely looking for sin. It's just that Gu Xian wants to go, and their brother has to obey her wishes.

After getting into the carriage, Shen Zhan hugged the small stove and said, "It's really freezing to death, how can we suffer this crime in Fuzhou." ”

In the coldest time in Fuzhou, it is enough to wear two slightly thicker pieces, and it is still cold to shiver when wrapped in zongzi here. At night, the quilt should be warmed by the soup woman before going to bed, otherwise the quilt will be cold and warm for half a day before you can fall asleep.

Because there are very few people who come to offer incense in winter, except for those who are in a hurry to ask for a bodhisattva or a particularly pious believer, no one else will choose to come at this time.

They didn't see any pedestrians along the way, and they didn't see anyone when they arrived at Lingquan Temple. After the incense was eaten, the group went down the mountain.

Halfway to the carriage suddenly stopped, Gu Xian lifted the curtain and asked, "Why don't you leave?" ”

Gai Chun said: "Madam, a big tree fell in front of you and blocked the way. Madam, it's cold and you get in the car and wait, and when we move the big tree away, we will continue on our way. ”

Gu Xian was sitting in the carriage and was feeling bored, and came down after hearing this.

Looking at the big tree blocking the road, Gu Xian was a little puzzled: "The road was fine when I went up the mountain, why was it suddenly stopped by the big tree when I went down the mountain, and it didn't blow strong winds or rain heavily." ”

Gai Chun's face changed when he heard this: "It's not good, everyone be careful that there is an ambush." ”

As soon as the words fell, some stones rolled down the mountain, and a big stone hit Shen Zhan's carriage, and the horse was frightened and galloped forward. Even if there was a big tree in front of it, it hit it directly.

Gu Xian was pulled aside by Tan Xing, but two of the guards who moved the tree were injured by the carriage, and one of them fell to the ground after hitting his leg.

Seeing the carriage that had been overturned, Gu Xian shouted loudly: "Hurry, save people." ”

Gai Chun ordered four guards to rescue Shen Zhan who was trapped in the carriage, and he himself hurriedly walked to Gu Xian's side with three guards.

Looking at the group of masked people rushing down from the mountain, Tan Xing grabbed Gu Xian's arm and said, "Madam, let's run first, and the second master will hand it over to the manager." ”

Gu Xian was unwilling, shook her head and said, "How can I leave Ah Zhan and run away alone!" ”

Gai Chun said: "Madam, the second master is injured and can't run if he wants to." Madam, you go down the mountain with Tan Xing first to find someone from the government to save him. ”

With such a grind, the masked men had already rushed down from the mountain.

Gai Chun stood in front of Gu Xian and said to the person in charge: "Friend, I don't know which hero you are on the road?" What does this one mean today? ”

The man at the head was tall and his eyes were like copper bells, and he raised the big knife in his hand and said viciously: "We only want money, not life, hand over your master, and I can let you go down the mountain." ”

Gai Chun's face turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Friend, although our Shen family has made some money in Fuzhou, but a lawsuit a few years ago lost all the family's wealth, and now the family is also difficult. The whole of Pingzhou knew about this. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, if you are interested, hand them over and go down the mountain yourself." After speaking, the masked man slashed down with the big knife: "If you don't know how to be interested, don't blame Lao Tzu's subordinates for being ruthless." ”

It was impossible for Gai Chun to leave Gu Xian and Shen Zhan behind, and soon the two sides fought.

Although Gai Chun only brought nine guards this time, five of them were old fellows who had been with the ship before, and these people had all killed pirates and seen blood. So although there are twelve people on the other side, it is not impossible for them to win if they fight with all their might. It's a pity that this time they brought two burdens.

Gu Xian was protected by Gai Chun and several people, but Shen Zhan, who had just been rescued from the carriage, fell into the hands of the other party.

Shen Zhan hit his head when the carriage overturned, so when he was rescued, he was still in a daze. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had been restrained, and a deadly dagger was still lying between his throats.

Without the masked man threatening, Shen Zhan shouted, "Uncle Chun, save me......"

Gai Chun was stunned when he heard this cry for help, but he was experienced in the enemy and quickly took a step back: "What do you want?" ”

The bandit led by the leader also collected the knife and said coldly: "I said, we only want money and not life." As long as you leave them behind, you can go down the mountain, and send a ransom of 100,000 taels before dawn the day after tomorrow. ”

Shen Zhan was quickly dragged next to the bandit leader.

Gai Chun shook his head and said, "One hundred thousand taels of silver can't be made up even if you sell a house or a shop." ”

The first bandit took out a short dagger from between his legs and stabbed it into Shen Zhan's left arm: "Don't bargain with me, otherwise it will be his throat that will be stabbed next time." ”

"Ah......h

Shen Zhan's screams made Gu Xian shudder.

It's a pity that Gai Chun didn't let go: "Our Shen family's family has been hollowed out in Fuzhou, and one or two thousand can barely be scraped together, and one hundred thousand taels of silver is simply a fantasy." ”

The bandit leader snorted coldly and said, "Shen Er's family has millions of family assets, how can he not come up with a mere 100,000 taels of silver." ”

Gai Chun's pupils shrank, and he immediately understood what was going on: "It was Huo Yingwei who told you!" I don't know why you would believe the words of a gambler, but our Shen family really doesn't have that much money, and you can't get it out even if you kill us all. ”

Gu Xian was stunned, she didn't expect that today's disaster was actually brought by Huo Yingwei. Shen Tao said that Huo Yingwei had changed for the better, and she still believed it stupidly.

The bandit leader didn't believe his words, and said with a sneer: "In this case, then today next year will be your death day." ”

After speaking, he pulled out the dagger that was inserted into Shen Zhan's arm.

Shen Zhan didn't know that the bandit leader was deceiving them, and when he heard this, he thought he was really going to kill everyone, so he endured the pain and pointed at Gu Xian: "Our Shen family doesn't have so much money, but she does." ”

Gai Chun, Tan Xing and the others were stunned by his operation.

The bandit leader said with interest: "You don't have any Shen family, why does she have?" ”

Shen Zhan said: "The shop opened by her daughter Lin Qingshu earns tens of thousands of taels every year, and Lin Qingshu will definitely take out 100,000 taels of silver." If you catch her, you will get 100,000 taels of silver. ”

Gu Xian looked at him in disbelief: "Shen Zhan, do you know what you're talking about?" How can Qingshu have so much money, and she is still far away in the capital. ”

Shen Zhan covered his bleeding arm and said, "I know, but the Qi family is rich!" We can borrow it from Second Master Qi first, and let Lin Qingshu pay it back later. Mother, I don't want to die, my daughter-in-law didn't marry me, I don't want to die!"

Gu Xian watched his mouth squirm for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.
