A few days later, a letter blackmailing Fatty Gong's family was delivered to the Xiao Mansion.
They also named Huang Tinghui and asked him to deliver the three thousand taels of silver extorted to the kidnappers.
However, during this period, Huang Tinghui also conducted a detailed investigation into the details of this group of kidnappers.
The information he got from the second son of the Xiao family was enough for him to make a correct judgment.
"You must not do what the robbers say. They arrested Mr. Gong, and they are afraid that they want to lure Mr. Huang Xiaolang there."
"If these robbers really succeed in their evil plan, then the young man's safety will not be guaranteed!"
"Xiao Langjun has repeatedly destroyed the good deeds of these robbers. They will never let Xiao Langjun go!"
Regarding the robbers' demands, the first person to stand up and oppose was the head of the Jian family, Jian Ruru.
"Ru'er is right. The robbers asked Xiao Langjun to go there by name. They must have a deeper conspiracy!"
"Young man must not take risks alone!"
The old lady of the Jian family also looked at Huang Tinghui and said.
They strongly disagreed with Huang Tinghui's approach of going to the robbers' lair alone with the banknotes.
However, Huang Tinghui's eyes did not change at all, and everyone knew that Huang Tinghui was determined.
There's no way he can be shaken.
At this time, everyone looked at Wu Feilian, thinking that perhaps only Huang Tinghui's wife could stop Huang Tinghui.
But Wu Feilian knew her husband's character very clearly. She just looked at Huang Tinghui tenderly and said, "Husband, be careful, Lian'er is waiting for you to come back!"
Huang Tinghui nodded in response. He and Wu Feilian had the same mind and did not need much explanation. However, others did not know why Huang Tinghui insisted on doing this.
So Huang Tinghui explained to the others, "You can rest assured that Tinghui never does anything without preparation."
"This trip to the robber's lair is why Tinghui felt it was necessary to do so!"
"Don't worry, Tinghui will come back safely!"
After saying goodbye to everyone, Huang Tinghui stopped making any further stops.
He left Jian's mansion, mounted the horse that had been prepared, and headed to the place designated by the robber.
"Brother, this scholar really only has to go!"
"Looks a little brave!"
Even some of the robbers said in surprise when they saw Huang Tinghui riding away alone.
"This man is treacherous and must be guarded against!"
"Even if he goes alone, we have to be extremely careful."
"That group of pirates also suffered a lot of heavy losses at the hands of this scholar."
"The pirates who traveled across the sea were actually annihilated by a little scholar."
"In addition, we have suffered huge losses at the hands of this person over and over again!"
"Therefore, we absolutely must be on guard against this person!"
"You must bring this scholar to me under the condition of ensuring absolute safety. Do you understand?"
The leader, who was sitting on a high building drinking tea, watched Huang Tinghui's disappearing back and said to his men.
"Brother, don't worry!"
"We are all ready, as long as this guy has the guts to go alone!"
"Then we are sure to bring this guy to you, boss!"
"When the time comes, whether it's a new grudge or an old grudge, we'll all settle the score for this person together!"
The younger brother who was the leader also chuckled.
Looking at the back of Huang Tinghui going alone, they felt that they were sure to win this time.
No wonder they think this way, no matter how clever Huang Tinghui is, no matter how good he is at strategizing.
Even if he has three heads and six arms, as long as he falls into the trap alone, is it possible that he can still escape from the trap?
Huang Tinghui was brave enough to go alone, but in their eyes, he was just a prey that fell into their own trap.
…
According to the agreed method, Huang Tinghui came to the river bank alone.
When it was confirmed that no one was around Huang Tinghui, the robbers finally revealed their true colors.
Several robbers took Huang Tinghui into a small boat. The river was flat and the surrounding scenery could be seen at a glance.
If there is a boat following them, these robbers can be seen at a glance.
So this is also the best way. It can also be seen from here that the robber boss is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
You can tell he's a smart man.
Huang Tinghui also smiled when he saw this, and said to the robber standing next to him, "Your boss is a smart man, but all his smarts are focused on small things."
"No wonder all I can do in this life is to rob money and deceive people!"
After saying this, Huang Tinghui shook his head and said to the robbers standing beside him, "It seems that your boss is just a little clever!"
"Cut the nonsense!"
"You can also arrange our boss?" Hearing Huang Tinghui commenting on his boss, the younger brother's face immediately turned dark.
He said to Huang Tinghui in an extremely unkind tone.
However, due to the orders of his boss, the robber did not attack Huang Tinghui.
It seems that the robber boss is quite a man who can control people's hearts. At least this little brother is loyal to him.
However, the better the robber boss performs, the more worth the risk for Huang Tinghui to go to the meeting alone.
It is much better to trade with smart people and give them some advice than to meet some unreasonable thieves.
Huang Tinghui went into danger alone this time, not just to bring back Fatty Gong.
If only Fatty Gong was brought back, Huang Tinghui would not have written a letter to the prefect Wang Mingyang overnight.
I don’t know how long the boat sailed in the river, but the blindfolded Huang Tinghui finally set foot on land.
However, the robbers may have learned a lot after suffering two big losses, and they did not take off the cloth that covered Huang Tinghui's eyes.
Under the guidance of the robber's younger brother, Huang Tinghui was brought into the robber's lair.
There was an extremely noisy sound coming from the surroundings, and many people even ridiculed and verbally attacked Huang Tinghui.
Just when Huang Tinghui stood still, a voice came over, "It is rumored that the hero who defeated the pirates with three arrows and the scholar who has the miracle of carp crossing the dragon gate, Huang Xiaolangjun, Huang Tinghui!"
"Did you think you would be in such a situation today?"
The robber boss sitting in the seat looked at the blindfolded Huang Tinghui and asked.
"Take off his blindfold and show him who I am!"
Following the boss's order, his men took off Huang Tinghui's blindfold.
At this time, Huang Tinghui finally looked at the appearance of the leader of this group of robbers.
"Do you know who I am?" the robber boss said proudly.
"How can I not recognize him?" Huang Tinghui smiled, and then he said directly, "Linjiang Prefecture, once a small banner of the Beifu Army, later committed crimes and fled to Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
"Known as Mirror Lake Cat!"
"What I said is right, Zheng Dasheng, Zheng Xiaoqi!"
As soon as Huang Tinghui finished speaking, everyone was stunned and speechless.
Zheng Dasheng, who was drinking a glass of wine, spat out the wine in his mouth.
…
