“My brother and I dared not delay, so we hurriedly went into the mountains to set up traps.”

"They lay in ambush in the mountains for two days and two nights in a row,"

"We haven't seen the tiger at all!"

“Until last night, the tiger finally showed itself,”

"My brother and I forced us into a trap,"

"But unexpectedly, the worm was far too huge,"

"Although he fell into the pit and was seriously injured,"

"But he still leaped out of the pit and escaped."

"My brother and I chased after them all the way,"

"The tiger, having nowhere to run, fell straight off the cliff,"

"My brother and I took a detour down the mountain,"

"Following the trail of blood, they eventually arrived at the back garden of Old Man Mao."

"The garden fence had a big hole in it, and there was blood on it,"

"It was obviously caused by a big insect."

"My brother and I wanted to go in first and see if the tiger was really there,"

"Then we'll go ask that old man Mao for it."

"But unexpectedly, after entering the garden through that big hole,"

"We two heard it was clearly the middle of the night,"

"But in Old Man Mao's courtyard, it was always lively,"

"It looks like there are many people working inside."

"My brother was curious, so he told me to hide in the garden,"

"Should he go forward and see what's going on himself?"

"But a moment later, my brother shouted for me to run!"

"As for himself, he was captured by the people of that Mao family!"

"If that's the case,"

Sun Xin laughed,

"That old man Mao might have taken you two brothers as his own,"

"They mistook him for a stupid thief who sneaks into the house in the middle of the night,"

“If we talk things out, they will definitely release the Xie brothers.”

"Brother, you don't understand. This matter is probably not that simple."

Jie Bao said with a bitter face,

"When I hid in the trees in the forest,"

"I once heard someone from that Mao family say,"

"Whether you live or die, hold onto me!"

"The leader even offered a reward of five hundred strings of cash to the man who captured me!"

"what?"

Sister-in-law Gu and Sun Xin exchanged a puzzled look.

Are you sure you didn't hear me wrong?

"Those guys were right under the tree where I was hiding,"

Jie Bao said,

"I can't believe I heard that right."

"In that case, things really are a bit strange,"

Sun Xin frowned and said,

"Just for a petty thief who broke into the yard,"

"Why would you ask for such a high reward?"

"What do you mean by petty thief!"

Sister-in-law Gu disagreed.

"When did my brother become a petty thief?"

"I'm just doing what Grandpa Mao and the others said,"

Sun Xin quickly explained,

"That Mao Taigong's family,"

Sister-in-law Gu asked,

"Could it be that they want to kill that big worm?"

"Sister, even if you skin and debone a tiger, it's only worth a hundred or two hundred strings of cash at most,"

Jie Bao said,

"Even if it's sent to the government, the reward will only be one hundred strings of cash,"

"There's no way there could be more than five hundred strings of cash!"

"That's true,"

Sister-in-law Gu nodded.

"I think,"

Jie Bao said slowly,

"The matter is probably still related to the courtyard of that old man Mao's family,"

"Perhaps my brother saw something inside..."

Chapter 932 Dengzhou Officials

"What you say does make a valid point,"

Sun Xin couldn't help but nod.

"So what exactly did your older brother see?"

"I don't know,"

Jie Bao shook his head directly.

"My older brother was only concerned with getting me to run away,"

"Nothing else was said."

"Okay, anyway,"

Sister-in-law Gu slammed her hand on the table and said,

"We can't let the Xie brothers be held captive by that Mao family like this."

"Boss, go and gather the men immediately,"

"We'll go to Grandpa Mao's house in a bit to demand our people back!"

"it is good!"

Sun Xin nodded.

"Wait until they've had breakfast,"

"Let's go find Old Man Mao!"

"Thank you, sister; thank you, brother,"

Jie Bao quickly thanked him.

Sister-in-law Gu, however, patted his shoulder heavily.

"We're all family, why are you being so polite with your own sister!"

"Alright, you've had a long night too,"

"Eat something quickly!"

"We'll go rescue your brother later!"

.....

After breakfast,

The two women, Gu Dasao (the "female tiger") and Sun Xin (the "young Yuchi"), gathered the shop's employees.

They also found some idle men they knew from the past.

After gathering a dozen or twenty people,

Only then did he stride menacingly toward Mao Taigong's village.

Sister-in-law Gu and the others originally wanted to get Old Man Mao to release Jie Zhen.

But unexpectedly, when the group was halfway there,

Then they saw a group of six or seven officials.

They are escorting Jie Zhen.

Heading towards Dengzhou Prefecture!

Jie Zhen's mouth was gagged with a strip of cloth.

They were also bound with ropes.

They were tied very tightly.

"Big brother!"

Jie Bao felt a surge of anxiety.

He was about to step forward,

Sun Xin is more steady.

He quickly pulled Jie Bao back.

"Something seems off."

"Don't go over there yet!"

"Let your sister and I go over and investigate!"

finished,

This young Yuchi Rang was a waiter at the hotel.

They pulled Jie Bao to hide in the nearby bushes.

He and Sister-in-law Gu stepped forward.

Pretending to be curious,

He asked the guards escorting Jie Zhende.

"My lords, what has this fellow done?"

"Why would you officials go to such lengths to escort this?"

"how?"

The head constable looked at Sister-in-law Gu and Sun Xin with suspicion.
