After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 370 Dealing with

The middle-aged man in blue standing at the front held a short knife in one hand and grabbed the little girl Zhou Xuejun by the collar with the other. He was about to pull her out of the door and take her away. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of a figure flashing inside the door. When he raised his head, he met a person. A pretty girl of twelve or thirteen years old took a look.

Although he was a little surprised, he didn't take it to heart. At this age, well-dressed and well-dressed, she is probably the daughter of the Zhou family who came to the other courtyard for a small banquet today. She is not a threat, and she can form a pair of hostages with Thursday's daughter. When the daughter of the Tang family arrived, they brought these three young ladies, plus the daughter-in-law and granddaughter of the Wu family. It was expected that the Zhou family and the Tang family would not dare to stop them anymore. If the Zhou and Tang families are stubborn and insist on preventing them from leaving the city, then kill a girl to scare the other party. Anyway, they have five hostages in their hands, which is enough to break out of the siege.

This thought flashed through the middle-aged man in blue, and his left hand moved forward to grab Zhou Xuejun's collar. Unexpectedly, the figure of the girl in the door flashed and appeared at the door. She grabbed Zhou Xuejun's belt. Within seconds, a black shadow hit his eyes.

He didn't know what it was, but when he heard the fierce wind, he subconsciously knelt down to avoid it. As soon as his eyes flashed, Zhou Xuejun asked the girl to drag her back to the door, and then the half-open door was closed heavily. . The middle-aged man in blue hurriedly rushed forward and knocked on the door, but the sound of the door bolt was heard from inside.

The middle-aged man in blue couldn't help but curse.

Haitang inside the door let out a long sigh and hurriedly checked the door bolt to make sure it was strong enough before turning back to check Zhou Xuejun's condition.

The front and hem of Zhou Xuejun's clothes were full of wrinkles and dust, her collar was crooked and her belt was loose. She was quite embarrassed. Fortunately, she didn't seem to be seriously injured.

The little girl was very strong. She was so frightened and did not shed tears. She was able to calmly tell Haitang: "Sister Hai, I'm fine. Go tell the elder sister and ask her to call all the guards in the other courtyard." . The man on the concierge was knocked down just now, and I don’t know if he is dead or not. These people are all desperadoes, and they also held Mrs. Gui and her daughter hostage. Our family members are restrained in their actions, so they will suffer..."

As soon as Zhou Xuejun finished speaking, the middle-aged man in blue shouted from outside the door: "That's right! We have women from the Wu family in our hands. Open the door obediently and let us in, otherwise we will kill the women from the Wu family." Kill them all!"

Haitang sighed and said in a loud voice: "Kill him if you want. My surname is neither Wu nor Zhou. Do I care whether the women of the Wu family live or die? There are many female relatives in this house. How can I do it for two people?" Isn’t it okay for an unrelated person to let you group of desperadoes come in to kill people and set fires?!”

The person outside the door cursed again, and then a long dagger was inserted through the crack of the door, trying to move the door bolt bit by bit.

Haitang rushed to the door and pushed the doorbolt that had been moved by the dagger back to its original position. But this is not a long-term solution. The people outside the door refuse to give up using daggers to move the door bolt. If no one is watching, they will succeed in a short time.

Haitang quickly turned back to Zhou Xuejun and said, "Quickly go inside and call someone. I'll guard here."

Zhou Xuejun stood up and gritted his teeth. She knew that now was not the time to talk, so she turned around and ran away decisively. I don't know if it was because of her fall just now, but she was running very hard and limping.

Haitang ignored her and turned around to push the crooked door bolt back to its original position. At the same time, he was dealing with the people shouting outside the door: "Who are you? How dare you kidnap the female members of the Zhou family in Chang'an City?" , Are you really too brave?! Anyone who dares to do this...could he be a spy of the Hu people?!"

She picked up a stone nearby just in case, and raised her voice even louder: "Mrs. Gui, Miss Wu, if you are held hostage by Hu spies, don't be afraid. Mr. Wu Wen'an's spirit in heaven is watching you. ! Even if you die for the country today, you are still adding luster to the name of the Wu family. The Wu family will remember you, and the people of Chu will also remember you!"

Mrs. Gui outside the door was so angry that she could not speak. Behind her, Wu Qiong, who was also threatened with a dagger, cried out: "Mother..."

The middle-aged man in blue felt his scalp numb. He could tell that the girl who was saving people in the door was very cruel. He didn't believe that she didn't know who they were, but she still determined their identities as Hu spies.

If they are Hu spies, everyone in Da Chu will naturally find and punish them. Even if they leave Chang'an City, there will still be a large army chasing them. Even if the Sun family's companions are determined to rescue them, they must consider avoiding suspicion. As the generals of the northwest frontier army, the Zhou family and the Tang family were even less likely to make any deal with them for any hostages. Even if the mother and daughter of the Wu family died in their hands, the Zhou family would not give in. But even if the middle-aged man in blue knew Haitang's "evil intentions", would he dare to reveal his true identity? Why did the Sun family kidnap the women of the Zhou and Wu families in Chang'an City? Some things cannot be put on the table even if they are known to everyone...

The middle-aged man in blue knew that there was no point in arguing with the girl anymore. He heard the sound of complex footsteps coming from the door. It seemed that there were many people in the house running towards the door. He made a prompt decision, drew out his dagger, and turned around. Ordered his subordinates: "Let's go! Go catch that boy from the Jin family and leave the city immediately!"

Everyone immediately pulled Mrs. Gui and her daughter back into the carriage, kicked away the people blocking the way, and drove the carriage quickly to turn around and leave.

The gate of the courtyard reopened, and many people poured out, chasing the carriage. Two people with knives fell behind and turned around to fight with the pursuers. The speeding carriage passed by a carriage that had just arrived at the intersection and almost hit it. The driver opened his mouth to curse, but was struck by a man on the opposite carriage with a knife. He was so frightened that he rolled off the carriage and fell to the ground. , already received a blow on the shoulder. The women in the two carriages were so frightened that they screamed.

As the pursuers approached, the middle-aged man in blue simply pushed Mrs. Gui out of the carriage and let her roll to the ground, blocking the path of the pursuers. He himself drove the carriage and drove away quickly.

Mrs. Gui rolled around on the ground several times. She was in a mess, but she didn't care about her appearance. She panicked and hugged the legs of the Zhou family soldiers who were running at the front, crying: "Don't chase! Qiong'er is in their hands." Here! Stop chasing!"

The Zhou family's soldiers were stopped by her and had to stop and looked at each other.

Zhou Wenjun arrived a little later. When he saw this situation, he was so angry that he yelled: "If you weren't running around outside by yourself, how could this happen?!"

Mrs. Gui cried so much that her makeup was stained and her legs were injured. She couldn't even get up, but she still grabbed Zhou Wenjun's skirt and stopped her from chasing her: "You can't chase! It's all a desperate act." He will kill Qiong'er!"

Zhou Wenjun laughed angrily: "If we don't chase, will they let Wu Qiong go?! Can you distinguish the importance?!"

Haitang rushed over with a whip: "Hurry up and tell the Duke of Zhen and General Tang. The group of people just now should be the ones who escaped the night before. They wanted to escape from the city, so they came to arrest the Zhou family and The female members of the Tang family are the hostages."

Zhou Wenjun was taken aback and quickly turned around to call someone.

Mrs. Gui raised her head and looked at Haitang. She had recognized the person and said through gritted teeth, "You were the one talking nonsense in the door just now, right? You actually..."

Haitang interrupted her before she could finish her words: "Where am I talking nonsense? Mr. Xue just told me, what did you say to those gangsters? It was you who led them to another courtyard to arrest them. Humans, right? Don't use the excuse that they are not Hu spies. At this point, what difference does it make whether the person who arrested you is a Hu spy? It is a fact that the women of the Wu family took the initiative to betray their own people to the gangsters. Everyone in the world said Mr. Wu Wen'an is an example of loyalty, filial piety and loyalty. If you act like this, do you deserve to be called a member of the Wu family?!"

Mrs. Gui's face turned pale.
