Luoyang Brocade Chapter 49: Night Raid (4)
Several gangsters rushed to the cabin on the second floor, but one boy bravely resisted. One of the gangsters slashed his leg cleanly with a long knife. Blood splattered and he screamed in agony.
The gangster wearing a black scarf and unable to see his face shook the long knife in his hand. Ning said with a smile: "You all squat down and hold your head with your hands. I will kill anyone who dares to move." His life."
The boys usually only served their masters, but they had never encountered such a murderer. They all turned pale with fright, squatted down tremblingly, held their heads in their hands, and did not dare to move again.
The leading strong man led several other gangsters and rushed to the third-floor cabin.
The heavy and rapid footsteps sounded in everyone's ears like a life-threatening signal.
Uncle Ling's expression changed again and again, and he could no longer maintain his composure. Sun and others were so frightened that they started to cry: "Master, the gangsters are coming, what should we do now..."
"Dad, we will give them all the gold, silver and jewelry. As long as they don't hurt anyone!" Ling Ji whispered quickly.
At this time, life-saving is the first priority. Money is all external possessions, so it doesn’t matter if it’s all given to gangsters!
Uncle Ling nodded with an ugly expression. Thinking that no one could see his movements in the darkness, he whispered: "Don't panic, I will deal with them later..."
Before he finished speaking, the door was kicked violently several times. The wooden box behind the door also shook a few times.
The loud banging sound shocked everyone, and their hearts were shrouded in the shadow of death.
"If you want to survive, open the door yourself!" There was another loud knock on the door, and a strange man's voice came into everyone's ears: "Otherwise. Don't blame the swords in our hands for being rude."
The door latch obviously cannot withstand it for long.
Ling Ji gritted his teeth and raised his voice: "Stop it first! We will open the door ourselves!"
Jiang's whole body was shaking, and she whispered with choked sobs: "Husband..."
Ling Ji had no intention or time to appease Jiang. Then he said loudly: "All the heroes who come here late at night are just asking for money. As long as it does not hurt people's lives, we will agree to any amount of money you want."
The voice was slightly trembling and he was out of breath, but under such circumstances, Ling Ji still dared to speak out. This is already considered extremely courageous.
The gangsters outside the door seemed to be discussing in a low voice for a few words, and then stopped kicking the door.
The brief moment of silence did not make people feel relieved. More like the calm before the storm. Everyone didn't even dare to breathe hard.
The gangster's hand lit a torch, and the light shone through the crack in the door, but it could not drive away the darkness in everyone's hearts.
"Open the door!"
These two short words make people feel cold.
Things have come to an end. The young and energetic Ling Ji. He was more courageous than Uncle Ling. When he heard this, he responded loudly: "Everyone, please wait a moment. I will open the door. There are women in the house. Don't come in, so as not to scare them. I will go out to see you. What do you think? If you want anything, just tell me."
The second master raised his eyebrows in surprise. This frail young master is quite courageous.
That's a pity. What he wants is women, not money.
The lame man was about to shout. But he was stopped by the eyes of the second master. Let them open the door by themselves first!
The sound of wooden boxes moving was heard inside the door.
......
In the innermost cabin, Ling Jingshu held Ling Xiao's hand tightly and held a dagger in the other hand. Her whole body was as tense as a stretched bow.
Everyone held their breath, no one dared to make a sound.
The crying of Sun and others just now attracted the attention of the gangsters. The gangsters probably thought that everyone was hiding in this cabin, so they didn't search all the cabins.
The longer you delay, the more hope you have of living.
Ling Ji obviously thought so too and deliberately slowed down his movements. He moved the wooden box slowly, but didn't open the door for a long time.
The second master sneered: "I will count to ten. If you don't open the door and come out, I will kill everyone. From now on, six, seven, eight..."
Ling Ji resisted the urge to curse and opened the door latch as quickly as possible, opening the door just as the second master counted to ten.
There were five gangsters standing in front of them.
They vary in height, short, fat, and thin, but the same thing is that everyone is wearing black night clothes and black scarves. Only greedy and excited eyes were exposed.
The leading man showed a pair of triangular eyes flashing with ferocious light, and looked around Ling Ji's body unscrupulously.
Fair complexion, handsome face, wearing a brocade robe, looking gentle and gentle. At first glance, you can tell that he is a young man with a good family background.
With a pale face, he tried to stay calm, but he was actually vulnerable.
Ling Ji forced himself to calm down and said to the second master: "Excuse me, good man, how much money do you need to let us go?"
The second boss grinned: "We don't want money!"
Don’t want money?
Ling Ji was stunned, and everyone in the cabin was also shocked. These gangsters don't want money. Could it be that they were hired by their enemies to kill people and silence them?
The second boss enjoys the feeling of being in control of everything. However, this trip did not go smoothly. The guards on the ship are unexpectedly difficult to deal with. We can't delay it any longer and must fight quickly.
The second master quickly said: "We don't want your lives either! I will only take two people away. If you are quiet and honest, you can save your lives. Don't force us to kill and silence you."
After hearing this, not only did everyone not relax, but they were even more horrified.
They are going to take away two people...Who are they going to take away?
Ling Jingyan was so frightened that she burst into tears: "Father, mother, help me, help me..."
Ms. Jiang also looked pale.
These gangsters are not looking for money, but naturally they want young and beautiful women. In terms of appearance, her sister-in-law is more outstanding than her sister-in-law...
The voice reached Ling Jingshu's ears.
Ling Jingshu’s heart suddenly sank!
She suddenly remembered the strange thing about being stared at on the dock that day. He must have been targeted at that time. The target of these gangsters is not Ling Jingyan or Jiang, but her!
Ling Ji was anxious and angry, and angrily said: "We will give you as much money as you want, don't even think about taking people away..." Before he could finish his words, there was a scream.
One of the gangsters flew up and kicked Ling Ji in the chest.
Ling Ji was kicked until he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
The second master kicked the door open hard. The lame man followed him into the cabin with a torch, lighting up the cabin brightly.
Uncle Ling and Mrs. Sun’s faces were earthy. Ling Jingyan screamed in fear, and Jiang's whole body trembled.
The second master’s triangular eyes quickly passed over their faces, but he frowned.
Not the two of them!
Must be hiding in another cabin!
"Go and search for me!" The second master quickly ordered: "Search every cabin and find the siblings."
