Chapter 51 Strategy to break the situation
Chapter 51 Strategy to break the situation
Lu Shangbai was a little embarrassed. As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. The situation was one thing, but being exposed by others was another.
But what Su He said was true. Although he was now the head of the Lu family, he still had two younger brothers.
Even though there is kinship in a large family, it will always be somewhat weakened in the face of absolute interests.
The family feuds have become more and more severe in recent years. His father is old, and the next head of the family will definitely be among the three brothers.
One less competitor means one more opportunity.
Several people had a brief discussion on the way.
If the Lu family does not pay the ransom, which is highly unlikely, then they will have to find a way to get the bandits to release Lu Shangbai and get the money.
But how to get the bandits to release the people is not something that can be done with just a few words.
While whispering, the bandits had already taken them up the mountain and arrived in front of the stronghold.
Heishui Village, a typical bandit village.
The people in the lookout tower at the entrance of the village saw them coming back from afar and immediately issued a notice.
Open the door to welcome their boss back.
"Boss, you are finally back."
The big boss had a smug look on his face. He looked at the people who greeted him and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, we got a fat sheep, there's plenty of oil and water."
The man who came to greet him peeked behind him, his eyes instantly lighting up as he said, "Brother, it looks like we've got quite a bit of grain this time, enough for the brothers to enjoy themselves for a while."
"Hahaha, have fun. Come on, let's go inside first." The boss put his arm around his brother's shoulders and walked towards the village.
Song Yu and his group were also urged to move forward.
Lu Shangbai's men were all tied up, but Lu Shangbai, Shuangque, Suhe, and Song Yu were not tied up.
I don’t know whether those thieves thought they were easy to control or were just too confident in themselves.
Once you enter the village, you can see bandits with fierce eyes and bandit-like demeanor everywhere.
Song Yu tried his best to minimize his presence.
The buildings inside the village were ordinary houses, and Song Yu and others were taken to a room that looked like a lobby.
The whole room was empty, except for a raised surface opposite the door, where a chair was placed. A white tiger skin was covered on the chair, and a black bear skin was laid at the foot.
The boss automatically walked to the chair and sat down.
The people following him stood on both sides of the chair.
"Brother, this is the eldest young master of the Lu family. He really looks different from us country bumpkins. Hey, why is there a woman here?" The person who spoke was the man who was greeting him at the door.
It seems that his status in this village is quite extraordinary.
The man's gaze fell on Song Yu, with an inquiring look and a hint of lust.
"What do you look like? Why are you still wearing a veil?" The man said as he walked down and came in front of Song Yu, reaching out to remove Song Yu's veil.
Lu Shangbai and Su He stood in front of Song Yu at the same time.
Seeing this, the man was immediately enraged. He said in a loud voice, "You dare to arrest people even here? I think you've had enough of life."
Lu Shangbai said in a deep and stern voice: "If you still want to get money from my Lu family, you'd better be respectful."
"Respect, hahahaha... You talk about respect in front of me, who do you think you are..." The man looked disdainful and pushed Lu Shangbai to the ground.
"Boss!" Shuangque exclaimed and hurried to check on Lu Shangbai's condition.
"Today I want to see what this woman looks like?" the man said, and was about to extend his hand again.
Su He couldn't stand it any longer and was about to take action, but was stopped by Song Yu.
The veil on Song Yu's face was pulled off, revealing her face.
Everyone present was amazed.
"Wow! What a beauty," after seeing Song Yu's face clearly, the man's eyes showed surprise without any concealment, and his desire was even more obvious.
The boss sitting at the top narrowed his eyes slightly after seeing Song Yu's face.
"You are not allowed to touch my sister, otherwise I will make sure you don't get a penny from the Lu family." Lu Shangbai said immediately after being helped up.
Upon hearing this, the eldest boss sneered and said, "I didn't expect Boss Lu to be so naive. Whether or not we can get the money from the Lu family is something Boss Lu doesn't need to worry about."
Hearing this, Lu Shangbai was not flustered. Instead, he asked, "So who are you going to get the money from, my second brother or my third brother?"
The big boss raised his eyebrows, leaned forward, and said with his hands on his legs: "I was wrong. Boss Lu is indeed a rare talent."
Seeing this, Lu Shangbai knew that he had guessed correctly. He said, "If you cooperate with them, how much can you get besides me? A hundred gold, a thousand gold, or even ten thousand gold?
They asked you to get rid of me, so you get money and they profit. But if you really get rid of me and they profit, can you really get money?"
After hearing this, the boss looked thoughtful, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Song Yu spoke at the right moment: "My dear, have you been experiencing occasional convulsions, red and swollen eyes, irritability, insomnia, dark urine, and constipation recently?"
Song Yu looked directly at the man who had just removed his veil.
After these words were spoken, it took the man a while to realize that they were talking about him.
Then he widened his eyes and looked at Song Yu: "How did you know?"
Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to her, Song Yu slowly said, "I have some knowledge of medicine. If you are willing, I can treat you. You will be cured in no time."
There was suspicion in the man's eyes, but Song Yu turned his gaze to the boss in the upper position.
She glanced at everyone and said, "The boss is just looking for money. Now that you've captured us, if you can't get the money, won't it be all in vain?"
"What do you want to say?" asked the boss.
Song Yu said, "My two brothers have always had a grudge against my eldest brother. If they knew he was in trouble, they would probably just wish him dead sooner rather than pay for his ransom. Why don't you ask my eldest brother to release him and let him go back to get the money himself?"
"Little girl, do you think I'm a fool? If I let him go, will he come back?" The boss looked straight at Song Yu.
Song Yu nodded: "He will definitely come back, because I will stay as a hostage."
Her words were clearly heard by everyone. Lu Shangbai excitedly said, "Song... send my sister away. I'm here as a hostage."
Song Yu said, "Brother, I am not favored at home. If I go back to ask for help, they will definitely not take me seriously. Only you can go back and take charge of the situation."
Lu Shangbai wanted to say something but stopped himself. He wanted to go back and get money to redeem his companions, but he had no idea how to make the bandits believe that he would come back.
Song Yu's words happened to be the solution to the problem. Now Song Yu was his sister, Miss Lu, so her status was naturally equal to his.
