By the moonlight, Mr. Xu could clearly see the face of the person in front of him.
This person looks familiar. I think I've met him before
Mr. Xu squinted his eyes, feeling that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar, but who this person was, he really had no influence on him.
"Old man, I, I, brother Yuanxu's classmate, my name is Li Tuo!"
"I went to your house not long ago!"
The thin scholar finally revealed his name.
After Mr. Xu heard the name, he instantly matched the face in front of him with the face of a fool in his mind. However, the face in front of him was obviously swollen.
No wonder he didn’t recognize it now!
"Tell me, what do you, they, want to do?"
Mr. Xu suddenly swung his stick and hit Li Tuo's shoulder with a clever force.
Li Tuo then let out a shrill scream, and his arm was dislocated by Mr. Xu's stick.
Although Li Tuo was a semi-acquaintance, he said that he was forced to do so. But in Mr. Xu's opinion, since he appears here and looks like this, he is definitely not a good person.
So, fight first and then talk.
Otherwise, if this man suddenly gets violent and capsizes his boat in the gutter, how unjust would Mr. Xu be
Li Tuo had no idea that he was being slapped just to prevent trouble before it happened. If he had known about it, he would have cried to death. Because he really doesn't have the guts.
"Old man, it's them, they heard that you made great contributions, and the imperial court rewarded you with a thousand taels of silver..."
"ah-"
Before Li Tuo could finish speaking, Mr. Xu knocked down the stick again, dislocating Li Tuo's other arm.
"Do you think I'm an old fool?"
"What time is it now? If it weren't for the special circumstances today, I would have gone to bed by now, and you would show up here at this time to block the road and stop ghosts!"
"Old man, I swear, I swear to God!"
Li Tuo was anxious.
However, Mr. Xu ignored him and hit his ankle with another stick.
Li Tuo continued to howl miserably and fell to the ground, not daring to move.
Mr. Xu held a stick and began to interrogate the masked men one by one.
However, what surprised Mr. Xu was that the answers given by these people were the same. The purpose of persuasion was to hijack the Xu family and then demand ransom.
"Are you the leader?"
In the end, Mr. Xu squatted in front of the leading masked man and said, "I only give you this last chance. You can choose not to say anything. However, Prince Yan was almost stolen not long ago. I think King Yan will be very willing to see you!"
"I guess you might like King Yan's methods better!"
"Old man, I swear, I swear on my mother-in-law, we really just want some money!"
"The reason why we are waiting on the road right now is because someone told us that you will definitely leave the city at this time. Really, I swear!"
"Who told you?"
"No, I don't know!"
The leader of the masked man cried and said, "That man said that as long as we capture your daughter, we can get a lot of silver from you. And, also, he gave me five hundred taels of silver!"
"Say, as long as you hand your daughter over to him, he will give me another five hundred taels!"
As the masked man boss said these words, several of his accomplices lying next to him all cursed.
Because, from beginning to end, these people didn't know these things.
"Tell me about him!"
Mr. Xu pointed at Li Tuo who was not far away, "He has a reputation as a scholar, how come he hangs out with you?" (End of Chapter)
