Dong Siyuan is not a good man. Now Shen Chen and his companions are obviously here to steal the account book, which is simply to take his life. It would be strange if he let them go.
Han Bo sighed and said in annoyance: "In this case, what's the use of these old ladies and children? They are useless and are just a burden."
How can it be a burden
Wei An smiled and looked at him: "You are wrong."
Han Bo felt that he never understood what Princess Shouning said, because Princess Shouning was just like his own master, always unfathomable. He scratched his head and was a little confused: "Why is it wrong again? Didn't you say that Dong Siyuan doesn't care about his mother's life or death, and he is not afraid of what outsiders say."
"That's when no one else knows about it." Shen Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled at Wei An. "But if too many people know about it, he won't be able to ignore it."
Of course it won’t work if there are only people on the scene.
At that time, Dong Siyuan could just say that Shen Chen and the others were crazy and killed the elderly, the weak, women and children without any regard for their own safety.
But if they push Mrs. Dong out, it will be different...
If Dong Siyuan dared to shoot his mother in front of all the people in the mansion.
By then, Dong Siyuan’s official career would be almost over.
And it would be too easy for people to use this as an excuse to attack him.
He smiled and told Han Bo and Fei Li: "You two tie up Old Madam Dong and the children at the door, tell Dong Siyuan to be careful, and tell him that as long as he doesn't act rashly, we won't do anything to these old people and children."
If Dong Siyuan still wants to take action, the soldiers under him are not just good at talking.
Gossip can melt metal, and constant criticism can destroy a person.
Shen Chen and Wei An smiled at each other, and then ordered Han Bo: "Take Mrs. Dong out, and remember to speak louder and ask our Lord Dong whether he wants to save our lives or his mother's life."
Han Bo reacted at this time. He smiled and agreed immediately. He picked up Old Mrs. Dong swiftly. After thinking for a while, he also brought Dong Siyuan's youngest son with him. He dragged him to the gate, put his hands on his waist and called Dong Siyuan's name.
Dong Siyuan's men had just gathered together, and he was just thinking of shooting everyone inside to death first.
Anyway, although everyone knew that his mother and child were inside, no one knew that they were still alive, right? Then he would just say that these crazy people had already killed the hostages, which was why he was so desperate.
He is not afraid even if someone questions him, because there is no evidence and no one has seen him disregard his mother's life or death.
But who would have thought that despite having made all the good plans, they would end up encountering an opponent who did not play by the rules at all.
When Han Bo shouted that, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
But it was too late. All the subordinates he had summoned heard Han Bo's unusually loud voice and looked at him worriedly.
There were those who didn't know the truth and wanted him to report to the police: "Sir! This group of bandits caused a big disturbance in our house and held the old lady hostage. They deserve to die. Why don't you ask someone to invite the Sixth Lord?!"
Liu Da Ren was the prefect of Baoding Prefecture. Because his name was sixth and he was a native of Baoding, the locals called him Liu Da Ren.
Dong Siyuan almost felt dizzy.
Report to the police?! Are they afraid that the incident won't be big enough and known to everyone
He shouted at her to shut up, then took a deep breath and looked at the cunning Han Bo who was hiding himself, only revealing Old Lady Dong, and sneered, "How ridiculous! You hold my mother hostage, and you still dare to negotiate with me?!"
Didn't do anything, does that mean that the Marquis and the Princess were right? Han Bo clicked his tongue, poked his head and sneered, "Master Dong, why can't you talk about the terms? Others don't know whether we are bandits or not, but don't you know it in your heart? In the end, we just want to leave here, why don't we all get along? If you let us go, we will let your mother go, too. See, how good is this deal?"
Dong Siyuan refused outright: "Don't even think about it!"
Han Bo sighed again and said sarcastically, "Look! We said that if you let us live, we will release Old Madam Dong and your children, but you just gritted your teeth and refused. What? Do you really want to force your mother to death?!"
These words were spoken bluntly, and the surrounding soldiers became unhappy and began to whisper to each other.
After all, Dong Siyuan is the most filial one, and everyone knows that. But now he is so hesitant and indecisive. It's just the lives of a few petty thieves, but he takes it so seriously. He knows that they have threatened the old lady, but he still refuses to give in. It's really strange.
Dong Siyuan ignored them, but his heart was actually in turmoil.
Shen Chen was too cunning. He saw his determination to fight to the death, so he deliberately used this trick on him. He wanted to use the eyes and ears of so many people to block his decision to shoot the arrow without hesitation.
But even so, does Shen Chen think he will give up
So young.
He sneered and secretly gestured to his confidant.
Taking advantage of the cover of darkness, the confidant nodded almost imperceptibly, took a step back, quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow towards the gate of the yard.
The sound of the sharp arrow breaking through the air startled everyone.
It took Lian Hanbo a moment to react, and he only had time to throw Mrs. Dong to the side.
Mrs. Dong was immediately dragged and staggered, falling on the steps next to her and unable to move.
Dong Siyuan immediately became furious, and shouted "shameless" and said, "I haven't said I won't let you go! How dare you do such a thing and hurt my mother!"
As he spoke, he did not give Han Bo another chance to speak. He was relieved in his heart, but with a furious look on his face, he ordered his confused soldiers: "They are so cruel and crazy that there is no guarantee that they will not hurt civilians after being released! It's fine if my family suffers, but we can't let them go out and do whatever they want! Shoot!"
Han Bo quickly dragged Old Lady Dong in and slammed the door shut, patting his chest continuously. He then ignored Old Lady Dong and ran directly into the main hall: "My Lord, that Dong Siyuan is crazy! He asked someone to kill his own mother with an arrow!"
Shen Chen hummed, his eyes calm: "I heard it all."
He was really ruthless, no wonder he could become the confidant of the Xiao family and stay in Baoding Prefecture for so long. This kind of character of doing everything to the extreme was surprisingly similar to Chu Jingxing.
