Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 490 The Misfortune Begins Cao Xiong Kidnaps People
"We are the ones who came to steal your ship.!"

Just after Li You finished asking, among the three men kneeling below, a man with a fleshy face raised his head and replied viciously: "Your boat is big enough, as long as we can grab it, then we are the ones on the Surabaya River. The strongest gang, when the time comes, all ships passing by this Surabaya will give us money."

"Ha ha.!"

Looking at this man, Li You smiled, and then Li You looked at him and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Wu Lao Er, why do you want to kill my family? Let me tell you, I Wu Lao Er has neither father nor mother. I want to kill or cut you whatever you want. If you frown, I Wu Lao Er is not a good man."

Wu's second child straightened his neck.

Li You still kept his smile: "I didn't say I wanted to kill your family members, Wu Er, I was also very passive, sleeping on the boat, and suddenly someone came to hijack the boat.

Then I had no choice but to fight back, but who knows, you can't do it, I just started, you retreated, and so many people died, it's not me who killed those people, but your boss. "

"Our boss?" Second Wu subconsciously looked at the man on the far right. The man on the far right had a scar on his face and a wound on his arm. Hearing Li You's words, his whole body trembled slightly. .

"You fart, what's wrong with our boss? How could he kill his own brother?" The man in the middle cursed loudly. This man was dressed in a bunt, with a muscular arm and a tooth above his right ear. What kind of beast's teeth, Li You didn't know.

"Slap!" Yao Yu didn't say anything, he slapped the other party directly and cursed: "Bold, you can scold my young master too. This time is punishment, if you speak out loud again next time, you will be killed directly."

After cursing, Li You looked at the other party and asked, "What's your name?"

After being beaten, the man with the earrings became a bit more obedient, and then said angrily, "My name is Qiu San, what advice can you give me, my lord?"

"Of course I have advice." Li You said slightly: "I said that your people were killed by your boss. There is a basis for it. As a boss, it doesn't mean that you are the most qualified if you rush to the front. He wants to protect your brothers. their lives.

Take today's matter as an example, as long as your boss is interested, you can investigate our strength in advance, and your boss will find that our strength is not equal. You will die when you come up, but your boss did nothing. He rushed over directly, even though he was the first to lead the way, but in the end, he was caught and knelt in front of me? "

Li You smiled slightly.

Then the man with the scar on his face also smiled bitterly: "Master, I have good eyesight. I am the bastard boss who killed my brother. To be honest, before I set off, my military adviser told me , let me send someone to spy on you, if you are too strong, don't act rashly, but I didn't listen to him, now my military adviser has died on the battlefield, and many of my brothers have died.

It's really a great irony that I'm still alive, the young master only wants to die quickly! "After speaking, the man with the scar on his face knelt down on the ground.

"Brother!" Wu Er Er and Qiu San shouted excitedly.

"There are still rescues..." Li You looked at the three of them and smiled slightly: "I won't let you die, you will be sent to a place where you will work and educate for three years. Of course, you can come out in less than three years. method, but it is up to you.”

After speaking, Li You didn't wait for the three to ask, and waved them away directly.

Li You said that the place of labor and education is where Zhao Shou and Xia Gu are in Qiuliang Mountain. To be honest, Qiuliang Mountain is short of people, oil, iron ore, and Li You lacks a lot of people. Sending these water bandits there is a little bit small. strength.

Of course, Li You has another intention to send people to Qiuliang Mountain, especially these water bandits, which is to educate these people. Li You is indeed short of sailors, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people if they are poor. Well, Li You couldn't recruit anyone, and these water bandits could just fill in the gap, but these water bandits had to pick and choose, and they couldn't be used by everyone.

It just happened to be sent to Qiuliang Mountain. If you pass the test, you will be your own person. If you don’t pass the test, you will die. This kind of banditry is also a disaster.

What Li You didn't expect was that these water bandits would give him a different kind of surprise.

In the Bianzhou Mansion, the life of Cui Xiuniang and Xu Yi, that is, Xu Hui, is fairly quiet. Xu Yi's kindness let Xu's family know that Xu Yi can hug her thigh.

All the Xu family frantically came to Xu's house to meet Xu Yi, and all the people who couldn't beat eight shots before became Xu Niangniang's old acquaintances.

Xu Yi was also exhausted. She originally thought that she could rest with her mother when she went home, but who knew, there was no time to rest at all, one day, two days, three days, seven days.

People come almost every day, but Xu Yi's mother likes it very much. Since her mother likes it, Xu Yi can only accompany her. If Xu Yi can accompany her, then Cui Xiuniang can only accompany her. Until this day, a It used to be the visit of Xu Yiniang's old sister.

This old sister of Xu Yiniangqin used to be the woman who washed clothes with Xu Yiniangqin.

In ancient times, laundry was not an easy task. We all know that ancient clothes were long and wide, unlike current clothes, and there were no washing machines or washing powder in ancient times.

On the mural of an ancient tomb, the time is about 2000 years ago, there is a scene of ancient women washing clothes: two people are scrubbing vigorously, two are folding, and the other two are vigorously wringing dry.

People in this era use their hands to wash clothes with the power of river water and the force of sticks. It can be seen how time-consuming and strenuous physical labor laundry is at this time.

It can also be seen from this that Xu Yiniang has a deep relationship with this old sister, so what does this old sister with a deep relationship do here?
It turned out that the old sister's grandson was born. The old sister wanted to invite Xu Yi's mother to take Xu Yi to support her family. According to the old sister's own account, her son married the son of a merchant.

The businessman's family is rich and has no son, so he always wanted his son to marry him, but his son refused to do so, and then the businessman once again hit his idea on his newly born grandson.

I want my grandson to follow her family name, ouch, how can this be possible, how can my grandson follow someone else's family name, of course 100 million old sisters are unwilling, but the businessman's family is rich, so they came to the village Right, people from the county were called to keep her house under pressure.

Originally, her family was desperate, but suddenly they heard that their old sister's daughter had returned, and she was still His Majesty's favored concubine. Although they really didn't want to cause trouble, they really had no choice but to bite the bullet and come here to beg.

I hope that Xu Yi's mother can help me because of the previous friendship. After finishing speaking, the other party knelt down. This kneeling made Xu Yi's good old man soften her heart. She quickly helped her sister up, and then used a pair of soft-hearted His eyes turned to his daughter.

Xu Yi knew the meaning in his mother's eyes, nodded and agreed.

What I didn't expect was that the help this time would actually lead to a big crisis. It should be the next day when Xu Yi took his mother and Cui Xiuniang out of Bianzhou City to go to the old sister Xu Yiniang kissed. village.

Originally, the Xu family wanted to send people to protect it, and the governor of Bianzhou also wanted to send troops to go with him. However, Xu Yi felt that he was a bit too ostentatious. He was a concubine. Local armed forces, this is a bit ignorant of current affairs.

So Xu Hui refused all protection, and just took ten Baiqi and Cui Xiuniang to go there, because she thought that nothing should happen, just an ordinary child was born.

The name of the village is Caojia Village. It is a small village ten miles away from Bianzhou. The village is full of peach trees. If you come here in March and April, you can see peach blossoms all over the village. The old sister of Xu Yiniang’s family name is Wu. Later moved to this village.

Knowing that the Wu family had actually invited Empress Chongrong, the Cao family village as a whole became busy.

However, at this time, the water bandit Cao Xiong and a group of people quietly ambushed around Caojia Village. The main purpose of Cao Xiong's visit this time was to take Cui Xiuniang away. It was about ten o'clock. , Xu Yi and others came to Caojia Village.

Oh, Caojia Village held a grand welcome scene. The in-laws of the Wu family, who was the businessman, found out that the Wu family had actually invited Xu Chongrong, so they stopped mentioning changing the child's surname to their own in an instant. I feel that my daughter and grandson are blessed to be visited by the empress.

Seeing the transformation of their in-laws, the Wu family was also very happy, and then invited Xu Yi and others to sit down and prepared good wine and food, although these wine and food were nothing to Xu Yi and Cui Xiuniang, even a bit cheap.

But this is already a food and drink that can be bought by the whole village of Caojia Village. Fortunately, Xu Yi and Cui Xiuniang did not dislike it. Both of them have extremely high emotional intelligence, and they eat happily. Some people are happier than New Year's Eve.

However, at this moment, an accident happened. Suddenly, a large group of bandits appeared. Each of these bandits had weapons, long knives, spears, and even bows and arrows in their hands.

"Protect and fill.!"

After a few screams, Baiqi immediately protected Xu Yi, Xu Yiniang and Cui Xiuniang in the middle, ready to charge out at any time, even though there are enough people coming from the other party, as long as these ten Baiqi If they charged together, these gangsters really couldn't stop ten hundred cavalry.

What made Baiqi frown was that these gangsters did not follow the rules at all, and they encountered a problem.
