"How could the goods be robbed?"

Li Yuezhu was even more curious. She had been afraid that Uncle Tiezhu was in danger, so she sent a team to escort the goods. How many bandits would it take to snatch away their goods?

"There was a group of bandits on the narrow path as we approached the village, about thirty or forty in number. The young man recognized one of them as the leader of a nearby bandit den."

When Liuzi said this, he burst into tears. After all, he was still young and had never experienced such a thing.

"Originally, the bandits here were not so rampant. They were all in groups of a dozen or so. Now there are thirty or forty people here. They all hold the same big sword in their hands. It seems that they are well prepared."

Li Yuezhu quickly brought Liu Zi into the house and closed the door.

"Then how did you escape?"

"Uncle Tiezhu hid me in the grass nearby. Uncle Tiezhu gave all the goods to the bandits, but they were still not satisfied, so they arrested Tiezhu and the others."

"But they finally found me, beat me up, and asked me to come back and tell you that they must give them one hundred thousand taels of silver to redeem Uncle Tiezhu and the others."

After Liuzi finished speaking, he cried loudly.

"They finally said that if they knew that we were going to report to the police, they would kill Tiezhu and the others together. Girl, girl, what are we going to do?"

Li Yuezhu looked at Liuzi who was crying miserably, and then at Huilian who was helpless. Who in an ordinary family would experience such a thing?

"Girl, you have to think of a way!"

"Okay, I understand. Don't panic, you two. Did they say when and where the money will be sent to them?"

Li Yuezhu didn't feel bad about the 100,000 yuan. If the money was gone, he could still make money, but the loss of the person would be the biggest loss.

I'm just afraid that these bandits are a group of people with no credibility, and even if they are given the 100,000 yuan, they will be harassed endlessly.

"Having said it, they asked you to go to the barren mountain south of Daliushu Village tomorrow morning to trade alone."

"What? Only let the girl go alone?" Huilian looked at the six sons in surprise: "No, no, no, this can't be possible. The girl comes from a girl's family and is only more than ten years old. How could they be so crazy?"

Liuzi's tears kept falling, and he looked at Li Yuezhu with expectant eyes. He didn't want the girl to take this risk, but Uncle Tiezhu's life was still in the hands of those people.

Liuzi has been an orphan since he was a child. Uncle Tiezhu is kind-hearted and occasionally stutters. He is also very protective of him on weekdays. He cannot be ungrateful. Liuzi naturally hopes that Uncle Tiezhu can return safely.

"Otherwise...or I'll go. I'll pretend to be a girl and bring money. Anyway, all they want is money. If we give the money, we can keep everyone safe, but..."

That's one hundred thousand taels of silver, not just ten taels of silver. How many carriages can it carry that much money?

"Now is not the time to think about money. Huilian, how much money do you have in your hand now? Take all the money from the fruits we sold in the past few days."

"That's definitely not as much as one hundred thousand taels of silver."

Huilian's eyes also started to turn red.

Li Yuezhu sighed. He had heard of these bandits once or twice. They were all thieves. He had never heard of how big of a crime they committed. Otherwise, they would have been arrested by the officers and soldiers. Why would his son do it again now?

for robbery and kidnapping?

"What else did those traitors say?"

"They didn't say much, they just told you to bring the money in person."

"They know I'm a woman?"

Liuzi nodded: "I seem to remember that at that time, they said this to that stinky girl who was less than ten years old. Don't bother reporting to the official. Reporting to the official is useless!"

"Don't bother reporting it to the official?"

Li Yuezhu chewed these words carefully. Could it be that these bandit leaders colluded with the officers and soldiers?

"Liuzi, are you sure you are retelling the original words?"

"Girl, I'm sure, sure! That's what they said at the beginning, they wouldn't let you report to the official."

"Okay, I get it."

Li Yuezhu turned around and his facial features were wrinkled together. He couldn't let brother Jinyan know about this. After staying there for the past few days, Li Yuezhu also knew that although brother Jinyan seemed to be leisurely, he was actually very busy. In his yard

Although there are only Xuan Yue and Qin Wu, she knows that there will always be people who come and go without a trace and fly up and down into brother Jinyan's yard. So who should she look for?

"Why!"

Li Yuezhu took a deep breath and sighed.

"Don't worry about this matter, leave it to me. Post a notice today and close for one day tomorrow."

Li Yuezhu frowned and gave a few more orders.

"Girl, you can't be impulsive! This is not a child's play. If you..."

Huilian saw Li Yuezhu going out and quickly held her back.

"Why are you excited? I haven't taken the money yet, so naturally I have thought of other ways. You don't have to worry. I hope only the three of us know about this matter and don't spread it anymore and disturb people's hearts."

"But girl..."

Huilian seemed to have something to say, but was stopped by Li Yuezhu.

"Don't worry, don't you know me well? How can I, a little girl from the village, establish myself in this town? I naturally have a few important friends."

When Huilian heard what Li Yuezhu said, she was naturally doubtful.

"It's not like you haven't seen it during the trial operation. There are also a few people who came here from the capital. Those ladies and ladies are not like common people like us. They have great power."

Li Yuezhu said it calmly, and Huilian was half relieved.

"Girl, please don't force yourself. If you really want to use money to redeem someone, we still have a lot of money in our shop, but it's really not enough. I'll go to a few homes to scrape the money together, and I'll always have the money."

Li Yuezhu patted Huilian's hand.

"Peace of mind."

After staying in the shop for less than two hours, Li Yuezhu hurried out.

This matter will definitely not be that simple. The outfit Li Yuezhu gave to Tiezhu and the others is not so easy to break. According to Liuzi's description, how could those machetes be easily obtained, plus that group of people are not the same people at all.

Man, how come the weapons are so unified?

If these bandits are really jealous of her fruits and want to make a fortune, then she can understand it, but the words, deeds and behavior of this group of people are really strange.

Those people seemed to know her very well, and even knew how old she was this year. Someone must be behind this, that was for sure.

The person behind this was definitely not interested in money, but in her person. As for the 100,000 taels of silver, it was probably blackmailed by these bandits!

Who is behind this? Or who has she offended recently?

On the way back, Li Yuezhu's mind was running rapidly, eliminating things one by one.

Could it be Mrs. Wu who scratched her face two days ago? No, no, no, that's impossible. Since she had brother Jinyan's warning, she didn't dare to act so quickly and do it so blatantly.

Or is it that she has blocked other people's way of making money? But this possibility is not very likely. A person who has an official background and can gain a foothold in the Ankang line will not be so sneaky if he blocks the way of making money.
