"Didn't you say you wanted to kill me? Look carefully, your grandfather looks like this. Don't look for the wrong person when the time comes!" The young man put one hand on his waist and said proudly to Aunt Fang with the finger holding his tattered felt hat.
Aunt Fang ignored him, her eyes fixed on the man in black who was still sitting on the horse.
The other two men walked towards Aunt Fang's carriage, laughing at the young man.
"You are the only one who still wants to be my grandfather?"
"A grandpa who wets the bed?"
Except for the young man, the others were all laughing, and the atmosphere was very cheerful, as if they had just made an appointment to go horse racing instead of robbing anyone.
Nanny Yu poked her head out to take a look, somewhat confused as to what was going on.
The two men seemed to be trying to restrain Aunt Fang and Madam Yu. Madam Yu reacted and screamed in fear. Aunt Fang shouted, "Get away! Don't touch me!"
She looked at the man in black, scrutinized him, and said, "Are you their leader? I think we can talk first!"
The man who had originally come to arrest Concubine Fang actually obeyed and didn't touch her. Instead, he whistled and turned to the man in black who was teasing him, saying, "Boss, she said she wants to talk to you! She knows you haven't married yet?"
The man in black laughed and cursed, "Get lost!"
After cursing, the man in black actually rode his horse closer to Aunt Fang's carriage, scratched his ear and said, "If you have to fart, do it now!"
Aunt Fang glanced at the others and said coldly to the man in black, "I'm only talking to you. Let them stay away!"
Several other people started whistling again, but Aunt Fang turned a deaf ear to them and just looked at the man in black.
The man in black tutted and waved his hand: "You two go away first. I want to hear what this woman has to say."
Although the other three looked a little nonchalant, they walked away as instructed.
After seeing them leave, Aunt Fang looked at the man in black and asked, "Are you wandering around the world?"
The definition of "pangjianghu" is a bit broad. People like to refer to laborers who sell their physical strength, street performers, gang members, bandits, etc. as "pangjianghu".
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" The man in black raised an eyebrow. "You called me here just to negotiate terms with me and let me release you."
"What do you want? You might as well name a price!" Aunt Fang said reservedly, looking confident.
The man in black stroked his chin and looked her over, then said, "If I ask for one thousand taels of gold, can you give it to me?"
Aunt Fang frowned and said, "No. But I don't believe the person who hired you can give you a thousand taels of gold. I can give you a hundred taels of gold as long as you let me go."
The man in black smiled, revealing his white teeth. He looked more like a sunny young man than a bandit. "You are an unloved concubine, yet you are so arrogant. Where did you get a hundred taels of gold?"
Aunt Fang said coldly, "Just collect the money."
The man in black thought for a moment, then smiled again. "That won't do. If you don't tell me where the money came from, I won't accept it. Who knows if it's a trap? It doesn't matter if I'm unlucky myself, I still have hundreds of brothers under my command. By the way, don't tell me the Ren family will spend money on you. I've encountered situations like yours before. Your husband's family would rather die than spend money to redeem you from bandits."
