Chapter 130: Don't accept the toast and drink the wine
Yang Kaiguang panicked when his weakness was exposed in public: "Shut up! You slandered me! You are the one who deserves death!"
Luo Qinghan didn't want to see them fighting each other, so he said coldly.
"Shut their mouths and lock them up."
Two guards stepped forward, stuffed straw balls into the mouths of Qianshan Jushi and Yang Kaiguang, tied them up, and locked them in a small room next door.
As County Magistrate Yang was kidnapped, Jin Dianshi had no choice but to evacuate with his men.
But they did not go far away, but hid not far from the abandoned courtyard.
They stayed there for the whole night, but never saw the group of outsiders release County Magistrate Yang.
The more Jin Dianshi thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He asked his men to stay behind while he went back to the yamen first.
When he returned to the county government office, he found out that not only Magistrate Yang had been kidnapped, but also Mr. Qianshan.
Now the entire county government is in chaos.
Magistrate Yang's wives and concubines were crying together, and his children were running around like headless flies.
Jin Dianshi could not rely on them, so he went directly to the county magistrate and the chief clerk to ask what to do next?
The three of them discussed for a long time and finally decided to use courtesy before force.
They first sent out a few eloquent people to shout outside the abandoned courtyard, hoping to talk to the people inside.
As long as the other party can release County Magistrate Yang, they will agree to any conditions.
The yamen runners shouted themselves hoarse, but the courtyard was silent and no one responded.
Jin Dianshi spat, "This bunch of ungrateful dogs! Since they don't want to accept our toast, we don't need to waste words with them. We can just set fire to the house. I don't believe we can't force them out!"
The firewood and kerosene placed there last night are still there. All we need is a tinder to light the fire immediately.
The chief clerk hesitated and said, "This is not good. County Magistrate Yang is still inside. What if the fire burns him to death?"
Jin Dianshi: "Then just rush in!"
The county magistrate frowned: "What if the other party is desperate and kills County Magistrate Yang?"
Jin Dianshi was getting impatient: "This won't work, and that won't work either. So what do you guys think we should do?"
The three of them looked at each other.
After much hesitation, the county magistrate decided to take a wait-and-see approach.
"Let's have people guard here. There's nothing to eat or drink in the yard. They will definitely send people out to look for food and water. When they come out, we'll rush over and capture them. As long as we can capture their people, the rest will be much easier."
The chief clerk said, "There are still five days until the prince's carriage arrives in Gangu County. This group of people will definitely not last more than five days."
So they waited outside the courtyard for three days.
Jin Dianshi was impatient and couldn't wait any longer, so he asked someone to build a ladder.
He climbed up the wall with the ladder, stuck his head out and looked into the yard, and found a man standing in the yard.
Xiao Nan stood in the yard, drew his bow and aimed the arrow at Jin Dianshi.
The sharp arrow flashed coldly in the sunlight.
Jin Dianshi was so frightened that he jumped off the wall in a hurry. He accidentally sprained his ankle when he landed and his face turned pale with pain.
Two constables rushed forward to help.
Jin Dianshi found a place to sit down, cursing under his breath.
"There was a bastard inside who tried to shoot me with a bow and arrow, luckily I dodged quickly!"
The county magistrate frowned: "They are carrying bows and arrows. They are not ordinary people."
The chief clerk said cautiously, "Let's wait a little longer and try not to confront them head-on."
At this time, a yamen runner came running over, shouting.
"My three lords, the Crown Prince's carriage has arrived!"
