Chapter 187

Situ Tiannan, who had already found his way, was waiting for his chance to escape.

No, it can't be a prison break. This place can't be a cell. It can only be an abandoned cellar. I just don't know what these people want from him, so I locked him here.

On this day, as soon as it was dark, situ Tiannan lay upright on the ground, which was very similar to the dead body.

The man who came to deliver the meal looked inside and found that he looked like that, so he called out, "Hey, get up."

It's strange that situ Tiannan will get up.

The man was a little puzzled. He didn't know what happened to the man inside, so he found a branch and poked at situ Tiannan's foot. Situ Tiannan didn't respond, so the man who sent the food felt that something was wrong. Normally, the man was very energetic and yelled at the door.

Thinking about this, he opened the door and went in to have a look. As a result, he squatted down and was knocked unconscious with a brick on his head by situ Tiannan.

Kwai tin Nan checked that man was really faint, and soon after he would not wake up, he quickly searched the man's body. In a few moments, he felt the key from the man, and quickly opened the fetter chain on his hand, and ran away to the outside without stopping.

As soon as he ran out, as he expected, this is not the prison of any government. It is clear that this is the cellar of a family or the cellar dug outside.

There was only one horse outside, river on one side and path on the other. Situ Tiannan didn't think so much, so he jumped on a horse and ran along the path.

After a short walk, he found a small shop and sold the horse for some money. He bought a set of coarse linen clothes and put them on. Then he found a farmhouse and stayed in the woodshed for a night. Then he went to the market and bought a mule to ride on. Then he drove to Beijing.

Although it's slow, it's safe in this way. It's not like the coarseness of the farmer to get rid of that face. Who said it's not a farmer.

It's three days later.

On this day, situ Tiannan was about to run out of money, and it was a long way to go to Beijing. Just as he was thinking about whether to sell his jade pendant for some money, he heard the sound of horseshoes. Situ Tiannan looked over and saw a carriage coming towards him.

There is really no other way, so we have to fight. If the owner of the carriage is kind enough to take him, it would be better.

So he drove the mule to the middle of the official road with a clear goal of stopping the carriage!

The carriage stopped and a middle-aged couple emerged from the carriage. Although they were not rich, they were decent.

Situ Tiannan, with a smile on his face, arched his hands to the two men and said, "dare to ask the master and his wife if they are going to Beijing?"

"Yes, you are..." the middle-aged man looked warily at situ Tiannan. Although he was in the small place of Qingcheng on weekdays, he met many people. The man knew that he was a scholar at a glance. He didn't look like a villain by the color of his face and the way he talked.

"That's great. I'm a student going to Beijing to take the exam. I've been riding this little mule for many days. It's time for the imperial examination to start, but I'm still here. If I still ride this little mule, I'm afraid I can't catch up. Can you give me a ride? I don't need to ride in a carriage, so I'll just sit with this little brother who is driving." Situ Tiannan smiles and looks at the coachman.

The couple hesitated for a moment and agreed. Situ Tiannan nodded and bowed to the two couples for a long time, which made the couple repeatedly say that they didn't care.

At the beginning, he took the mule with him, but he didn't drive very fast. Situ Tiannan sold it generously and got the money and gave it to the couple as a reward for riding a carriage.

A few days later, situ Tiannan knew the identity of the couple. They turned out to be the brother and daughter-in-law of Mrs. Huo in general Zhongyong's mansion. Listen to what they mean, this is to send their daughter to get married. It is said that they are married to the general's house to be concubines. Although they are concubines, the couple's faces are very satisfied.

Situ Tiannan didn't dare to ask too many questions.

However, the woman responded and asked, "master, do you know the way to be loyal to general Fu?"

"Oh, general Zhongyong's house is famous for its contribution to the imperial court. How can we be ignorant of it?" Situ Tiannan said with a smile that it was a round past.

He just almost said that he knew Yu Tong. Fortunately, he stopped for a moment and held back. Otherwise, he would have to tear down the identity of the examinee who went to Beijing for the exam.

If situ Tiannan is lucky, it's really good. He meets Yu Tong's parents' carriage, and the other party is willing to take him. If he's not lucky, it's no better.

On the fourth day when he was walking with Yu Tong's parents, he saw that he was about to reach the boundary of Shangjing, and suddenly encountered a mountain bandit!

"Leave your carriages and your women, or your lives." The mountain bandit, carrying a big sword with a long handle, stood on the official road and yelled.

They figured out the right place to go up the slope. If the carriage couldn't go fast, they ambushed here. Therefore, they easily stopped the carriage.

Four people in the carriage changed their faces at the same time. Situ Tiannan was OK. He had some Kung Fu. The common mountain bandit could not help him. The reason why he changed his face was that he felt that his way to Beijing would be delayed and impatient.

Yu Tong's parents are really afraid. They haven't met mountain bandits in their life. It's said that mountain bandits are very terrible. They kill people without blinking an eye. Thinking of these, they are more and more afraid. They are too afraid to go out.

But if they don't go out, people will come in.

The young driver was so scared that he squatted on the ground and shivered. The mountain bandits didn't care about him. They directly lifted the curtain of the carriage with a big knife. When they saw that there was no beautiful girl in it, they were so angry that they knocked on the edge of the carriage with the back of the knife: "come down, uncle!"

They got out of the car. As soon as Yu Tong's mother Qian saw the fierce mountain bandits and the knives in their hands, her feet softened and she almost fell to the ground. Her husband pulled her, but she didn't fall down. But her body trembled so much that she couldn't stand steadily.

"The carriage looks good. I've taken it over. You four look good. I'm building a house in my stockade now. You're just going to work for me! Bah, I don't have much money even though I've been through my backpack. Bad luck After that, he pointed the knife in front of several people: "go to the carriage over there."

Situ Tiannan looked in the direction of the knife and saw a shabby carriage with two fierce men sitting in the driver's seat watching.

Situ Tiannan wondered why the mountain bandits were so rampant that they just robbed things and people. I haven't heard of any mountain bandits who had such courage and insight. I'm afraid these people are not as simple as mountain bandits?

Thinking of this, he took a look at the couple next to him.

The doubt lies in the couple. Thinking of their identities and the purpose of their trip, situ Tiannan felt that something was hidden in them, but he didn't know it.

Since ancient times, it's hard to say exactly what happened in the deep house. It's just that if he is involved this time, these "mountain bandits" will not succeed so easily.

"I said, brother mountain bandit, you're just asking for money. Why do you want us to go to the stockade? If you're short of labor force, do you think we're good labor force? We can't pick up each other's shoulders. It's not a waste of your food." Situ Tiannan said with a smile.

He was just trying to see if it was what he thought.

The leading mountain bandit said to situ Tiannan directly: "don't talk so much, I'll cut you with a knife!"

"Elder brother, it's not said that there are four people there, only that there are three people in the company of the coachman." When the leader said that, a guy next to him came up and whispered in the leader's ear.

Situ Tiannan's ears are very good. When he hears this murmur, he immediately understands that, as he guesses, the bandit is coming to Yu Tong's parents.

After hearing this, the leader just looked at the people around him. After a pause, he said, "go and tie their hands and feet to me."

The four were soon tied up like rice dumplings and thrown into the old carriage. Then the two of them entered the carriage and packed it to the brim. They were worried and came to watch.

Then the carriage started to walk. It was very flat at first, and then it began to bump. Situ Tiannan thought that he should have left the official road.

At this moment, the voice of people outside also rang: "brother, their carriages have been turned all over. There is really not much money. We are very poor!"

"Asshole! There is no silver and no girl, just a woman who looks shriveled. It's really disgusting! Try to squeeze some money out of them. I can't do business at a loss! " Someone spat. Situ Tiannan recognized the voice of the man who had just led.

"Elder brother, why don't you look around these people and see what kind of Keepsake they have, then pry out where their home is from their mouths and send the keepsake to their home so that they can redeem people with money. We can't be at a loss! "

"Yes, the most important thing is to redeem people with money. Come to redeem them as soon as possible. If they are a little late, they will die!" The mountain bandit boss sneered.

When situ Tiannan heard this, he finally understood the purpose of these mountain bandits. Their robbery was small, and their extortion was big. They were entrusted to do these things.

But situ Tiannan couldn't figure out what he really wanted. The mountain road was so bumpy that he couldn't bear it! If it's just for money, it's easy to say, just for not killing people.

"That's a good idea. I'll leave it to you! If it's done well, I'll be rewarded a lot! " The mountain bandit leader laughed.

"Hey hey, boss, you can rest assured that you are doing small things!" I'm afraid it's not the first time that a mountain thief has been ordered to go.
