"What? He was arrested again! It will cost another two hundred thousand to redeem him."
Zhang Zhen was furious when he heard the report from Agui and Acai.
These bandits have absolutely no professional ethics. They are trying to fleece him.
Damn bandits!
And Liu Xiao and his group of useless officers and soldiers. They said they would be able to catch the bandits on New Year's Eve, but it's almost the seventh day and they still haven't done it, and instead suffered heavy casualties.
Now Liu Xiao has also stopped his actions. I don't know what he is waiting for. I originally hoped that the soldiers could rescue Zhang Zeshan, but now it is impossible.
Even if he raised 200,000 yuan, what would he do if the other party used the same trick again and captured him?
This cycle repeats itself over and over again. Even if the Zhang family has millions or tens of millions of assets, it is still not enough.
Zhang Zhen only felt the blood rushing to his head, his body shook a few times, and he was almost unable to stand.
Zhang Zehai, who was standing by, hurriedly helped him sit down. "Dad, don't worry. There will always be a way."
Agui and Acai looked at each other and decided that they should tell the truth.
"Master, in fact, the young master allowed himself to be captured by the bandits on purpose. As soon as we left the village gate, he ran back on his own. Moreover, the young master refused to go with us and said that he wanted to stay in the village."
Zhang Zhen was stunned. "What did you say? Zeshan doesn't want to leave and voluntarily stays in the village."
The two nodded, "And the young master seemed very happy after being captured. He even said that he wanted to stay in the village and become a god."
Zhang Zhen: ???
Zhang Zehai: ???
Is Zhang Zeshan crazy? There are no gods in this world. They are just a means for those in power to fool the ignorant people. As a noble who has received a good education since childhood, how could he have such an idea?
The two racked their brains but couldn't figure out why Zhang Zeshan wanted to stay in the mountain village.
"Dad, if I stay here voluntarily, then no matter how much money we give to the bandits, it will probably be useless."
Zhang Zhen glanced at him and said, "You mean you don't care."
"It's not that I don't care, but you know my temper. If he is determined to stay, no one can help. If you want to save me, you have to destroy the village."
Zhang Zhen frowned, “Even the officers and soldiers are helpless against the mountain stronghold, how can we destroy those bandits.”
Zhang Zehai narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's not that the soldiers can't do anything to Yiyun Village, but that there are too few soldiers. If we mobilize a large army here, how can we resist with just a few hundred bandits?"
"I know what you said, but Liu Xiao also said that banditry is rampant now, and the government's military strength is limited. It is already the limit to be able to send 1,000 officers and soldiers to Ruifeng County."
Zhang Zehai smiled and asked, "Father, do you know Yanyu Tower?"
Zhang Zhen paused and said, "I was talking to you about business. Why did you bring up the brothel? Let me tell you, if you want to redeem the brothel's courtesan, there is no way. The door of our Zhang family is not open to brothel girls."
Zhang Zehai's mouth twitched. "The Yanyu Tower I'm talking about is a killer organization, not a brothel."
"You want to find a killer?"
"That's right, but we are not going to kill the bandits, but to let them rescue people. There is a master in Yanyu Tower named Shenxing Taibao, who has outstanding lightness skills. As long as he can sneak into the mountain village, he can rescue me."
"Even if the bandits found out, they couldn't catch up with him."
Zhang Zhen's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. Then go contact Yanyu Tower and ask them to help rescue people."
…
Liu Mansion.
Early in the morning, Sima Cao Rui came over.
"Captain, it's bad. The brothers in the camp are vomiting and having diarrhea. I'm afraid they are infected with the plague."
"What did you say?"
Liu Xiao was shocked and hurried out with Cao Rui towards the military camp.
When we were approaching the military camp, we heard a violent cough, and then we saw soldiers running out in a hurry.
"Zhang Liu is vomiting blood! Zhang Liu is vomiting blood!"
Liu Xiao's heart sank. Zhang Liu did not touch the corpse, but he did not expect to vomit blood.
He also deliberately left the twenty people who were delivering the corpses at the foot of the mountain to prevent them from being infected, but he didn't expect that they would still get infected.
“Please isolate anyone who has symptoms.”
Liu Xiao spoke in a deep voice. He had some experience in dealing with the plague and knew that isolation was necessary.
Cao Rui beside him coughed a few times and said, "Captain, the brothers in the entire camp basically have symptoms. Let's ask the doctor in the city to take a look."
Hearing Cao Rui coughing, Liu Xiao moved away and his face became serious. "You guys wait here and don't go anywhere. I'll go find a doctor."
After saying that, he hurried towards the county town.
Cao Rui looked at Liu Xiao's back and felt extremely regretful. If he had known earlier, he should not have come up with such an idea. He thought he had taken good protective measures and would be fine as long as he didn't touch the corpse. He didn't expect that symptoms would still appear.
Now they can only pray that the county doctors can treat them, otherwise they might all die here.
On the other side, Sun Ji and the twenty officers and soldiers who lived in the villagers' home also showed symptoms, and their situation was more serious than that of the officers and soldiers in the camp.
Sun Ji sighed deeply. This vicious scheme harms both others and oneself. If they show symptoms here, I'm afraid the bandits will also show symptoms.
“Follow me up the mountain.”
Sun Ji spoke. He had a premonition that he would not live long and he could not bring trouble to the villagers. Otherwise, if he stayed here, the entire village might be infected with the plague.
Before leaving, Sun Ji ordered the officers and soldiers to escort 20 households of villagers up the mountain. These villagers were the farmers where they had lived for the past few days, and they all showed symptoms.
At this moment, the villagers looked pale and hated the officers and soldiers in their hearts. If they did not live in their homes, how could they have been infected?
They had finally survived the drought and famine, but couldn't escape the plague. I really wanted to kill these officers and soldiers.
