Chapter 187: The Second Extortion Letter
In the men's dormitory, Lao Bai got the second letter, "Strange, why is the font on this letter different from the first letter?"
Chu Nan thought thoughtfully, "Eighty percent have accomplices, Lao Bai, read it to everyone." ”
"Dear friends, hello! After a new round of friendly consultations, we have decided to ....." Reading this, Lao Bai finally agreed with Chu Nan's point of view, "It seems that it is really a gang. ”
Big Mouth's brain turned slowly, and he still hadn't figured it out: "How can you see that?"
"Stupid, the letter says it's us. ”
Big Mouth was suddenly unconvinced, and even gestured, "What's wrong with us? Don't you want people to bluff? Then if I tie people up alone, I will also say that we are." ”
"Leave him alone, you keep reading. ”
"We have decided to lend you a thousand taels of silver. Before tonight, dig a two-foot square ice cave in the river under the small stone bridge of the Xiliang River, and then throw the silver taels into the water. When the river freezes again, we will personally escort Mo Xiaobei home. ”
At this time, everyone was dumbfounded, "What does this mean, when the river freezes, how can they fish out the silver taels?"
Lao Bai got up and paced a few steps, and finally came to a conclusion: "If I guessed correctly, this is the quicksand method from the Western Regions. ”
Everyone was puzzled: "What does this mean?"
"This was originally a trick of the river thieves, originally to deal with the government to recover the stolen goods, first buried the fishing net at the bottom of the river, and when I dug the ice hole and threw the silver down, the silver would fall into the fishing net, and then they dragged the silver and the fishing net to another place and salvaged ashore. ”
"So how do we track it?"
Speaking of this, Lao Bai's face was ugly: "I can't chase it, even if I catch up, I can only catch it." ”
"White belly, what is white belly?"
"It's the person who came to get the money, which is equivalent to a member of the death squad, if he doesn't go back on time, Xiaobei is in danger of being torn up. ”
"But where did they say they were going to tear up the ticket?"
"Do you really think that they don't dare to do it if they speak politely?" Lao Bai held up the letter, his face full of solemnity, "Personally escort Xiaobei home, this home has two meanings, one is to really go home, and the other is to go back to his hometown." Whether Xiaobei can come back alive depends on how we deal with it. ”
"So far, we can only do what the letter asks, but the most important thing is where do we get so much money?"
Seeing that everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, Chu Nan didn't want to pay for it, although he earned a lot of silver from gambling last time, (Xiao Bei and Yue Songtao competed in martial arts) But this is obviously Xiao Bei's trick, otherwise he would really use the silver to go to the water?
But Lao Bai didn't know, he already had a countermeasure at this moment: "By the way, Bao Daren left three thousand taels of silver when he left." ”
Xiao Guo also heard the shopkeeper talk about this, and hurriedly urged: "Then you hurry up, I'll send it to the kidnappers." ”
"But the money is not with me, Xiangyu does not allow me to hide private money. By the way, where did Xiangyu go?"
"She went to West Street to collect the bills, and it had been for a while. Chu Nan reminded.
Lao Bai suddenly had a plan, so he instructed a few people: "In this way, when she comes back, you guys will find a way to drag her." I'm going to look for her now. ”
"Okay, hurry up. ”
。。。。。。。。
In Tong Xiangyu's room, Lao Bai rummaged through boxes and cabinets, searching everywhere.
Downstairs, Xiao Guo glanced at the door from time to time, and finally, the shopkeeper came back, and she hurriedly waved her hand to signal Wushuang.
"Attention, coming, coming. ”
Wushuang hurriedly stepped forward, "Shopkeeper, you're back." ”
The shopkeeper saw that the two were so enthusiastic, and he was very uncomfortable: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Guo also knew that he had acted a little too much, so he immediately changed the topic: "Wow, the shopkeeper, you are getting better and better at maintenance now, look at your face, white is red, red is green." ”
The shopkeeper touched his face and smiled shyly, but immediately reacted: "Red and green, are you color blind?"
"Anyway, it's just to praise you for your good skin. With that, Xiao Guo pulled the shopkeeper to sit down, "Let's compare, you are the lychee that has been peeled, I am the pineapple that has been frosted, and Wushuang, which is the rambutan that has just been put on the ground." ”
Seeing that Xiao Guo's mouth was sweet like this, the shopkeeper already had a guess at this time: "Xiao Guo, did you beat any valuable porcelain again?"
"No, my own sister, I can't say two sincere compliments. ”
"It's possible for others to believe it...."The shopkeeper's words turned, "But you say, honestly, what's going on?"
As soon as Wushuang saw that Xiao Guo was about to reveal his stuffing, he immediately picked up: "Don't blame Xiao Guo, I asked her how to maintain it, and we talked about you." ”
"yes, yes, you're really good at maintenance. Look at your face, you feel like you can pinch out the water. ”
Under the nervousness, Xiao Guo didn't take it lightly, and the shopkeeper's face was distorted by Xiao Guo's pinch.
Hearing such a compliment, the shopkeeper's heart was like drinking honey, but out of a woman's reserve, he was still modest: "I haven't maintained it like this, just take egg whites a few times before going to bed." ”
Tut-tut, looking at the expression, I can't hide the pride.
Xiao Guo slapped the table, as if he had discovered the secret of the sky: "It's egg white, let's try it when we go back." ”
"yes, I'm going to try it too. ”
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Guo started a new round of touting, only to see her leaning back: "Do you know the shopkeeper? ”
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed to be praised, smiled shyly, and hurriedly got up: "What nonsense?"
Seeing that the shopkeeper went straight upstairs, everyone hurriedly pulled her down.
"Where are you going?"
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, and touched his little face, "I told you to boast a little bit of a weak heart, go back to the house and look in the mirror." ”
How could Xiao Guo let her go back to the house, and quickly pulled the shopkeeper to sit down, "You sit, you sit first." ”
"You don't know, you can't look in the mirror too much, the more you look at it, the more it will appear. ”
In the face of five or three times of blocking, the shopkeeper had already noticed the abnormality at this time, "It doesn't matter, it looks like it's only seventeen or eighteen, and it will stop when it reaches twenty." It's not fair to both of you to look too young. ”
At this time, Xiucai exerted his strength and grabbed the shopkeeper again, "Wait a while, I will write a new poem and give it to you in your prime." ”
The shopkeeper became more and more impatient: "Write it down first, if it's good, the forehead will be posted in the forehead room, it doesn't matter." ”
At this time, the big mouth also opened up, rushed to the front of the shopkeeper and bowed his head to confess: "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, I made a big mistake, the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, you save me." ”
The shopkeeper didn't even ask him what he had done, and said perfunctorily: "It doesn't matter, it's a person who will make a mistake and forgive you, and I'll talk about it later." With that, he went straight upstairs.
"Hey, shopkeeper, shopkeeper....."
