It took a day and a half for Zhu Ziliu to find out the address of Luo's house. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

When Jiang Yuji and Zhu Ziliu arrived at Luo's house in Yizhou City, it was close to noon, and Zhu Ziliu's guard stepped forward and knocked on the door twice, but there was no movement inside.

The guard turned his head to look at Zhu Ziliu suspiciously, Zhu Ziliu nodded and continued to knock on the door, the guard pressed three more times, and several people waited at the door for a while, but no one opened the door, and the door was not locked.

Fortunately, a passer-by passed by, and Jiang Yuji asked the middle-aged man, "Big brother, do you know that there are usually people at home in this Luo house?"

"I don't know, it looks like no one has lived there for a long time. The middle-aged man's tone was filled with a lot of uncertainty.

Zhu Ziliu stepped forward and thanked him, and the man left. Then Zhu Ziliu motioned for the guards to go up to the wall to check, and one of the guards did a good job, jumped up, observed for a while, and jumped off the courtyard.

When he came out again, he directly opened the main entrance, and Zhu Ziliu and Jiang Yuji walked in at the same time, only to see that the courtyard was chaotic and overgrown with weeds, as if it had long been uninhabited.

The four guards carefully rummaged for clues about the owner of the courtyard, and the room was neat, but the study was empty.

Zhu Ziliu felt very strange, why was the good house uninhabited and abandoned for a long time, could it be that the owner had an accident?

The group looked around for a long time, found nothing, and left the courtyard.

Just as the group walked out of the gate, they happened to meet an old man, who was puzzled, "Are you looking for someone?" Luo Daguan has moved to the countryside for half a year. ”

Zhu Ziliu said, "Uncle, do you know where he moved to the countryside? That's right, I am his son's old acquaintance, passing through here, to see his old man's house, I am really entrusted by his son, no matter what, I want to meet." ”

The old man said, "His son is a person! I heard that now he is an official scholar, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values him very much." ”

Jiang Yuji was a little surprised, Luo Wangshu and the prince are close to each other, even the people of Yizhou City know about it?

"Uncle is right, Lord Luo is a celebrity in front of the prince, this is not respectful, we are looking for Lord Luo's father is really a task. Lord Luo is busy with official affairs, and he has not received a letter from his family for a long time, so he specially asks me to come and see my father for him, and please tell us the address, so that we can find it. ”

As he spoke, he motioned for one of the guards to present an ingot of gold.

When the old man saw the gold, he was speechless with excitement, he had never seen such a large gold ingot in his life, and he took it and bit it with his teeth, so that his chrome teeth almost shattered.

After trying Jindu, he said with a sneer, "It's about a hundred miles away from Yizhou City, where is the Luo family's cottage, you hire a carriage, I'll take you there, anyway, I happened to have nothing to do in the past two days." ”

"No, I don't. Jiang Yu said in her heart, they are going to arrest people, and if they go with such fanfare, if they are publicized, it will inevitably be bad.

"Don't be so troublesome, you tell us the address, we hire a carriage, and it's the same for a local coachman." ”

"It's okay, the ancestor of the Luo family is Luo Tent Village a hundred miles away, you go west, you can inquire about it. I heard that Lord Luo has made a fortune in the past few years, and the villagers invited his father to go, and the family took turns to invite him to eat and drink, and he didn't come back for half a year. The old man was very envious.

Zhu Ziliu thanked him, and the old man also pointed to his own address, saying that if he couldn't find it, he would go to his house to find him, and he would lead the way.

Jiang Yuji thanked him repeatedly, and the old man walked away with a smile.

When the group drove to Luo Tent Village, it was already the evening of the next day, and they did not all enter the village, Zhu Ziliu meant to send two people to explore the situation first, if there were many people around the surname Luo, it was not good to directly grab people, first go to inquire where he lived, and then start at night.

The two guards inquired and came back at night, and Luo Daguan was drunk and lived in his own house.

Zhu Ziliu ordered people to wait at the door of the Luo family's cottage, and the three people climbed over the wall to catch people, but the housekeeper in the house suddenly got up and entered Gong, and the guards had to knock him out, and touched into the room of Luo Daguan to lift him out who was drunk and asleep.

When he arrived at the inn, it was already two days later, Luo Daguan knew that he had been kidnapped, and offered five thousand taels to redeem himself, Jiang Yuji smiled and said, "Your son is the lord of Shangshu of Dadian, and he has a very good relationship with the prince, your life is only worth five thousand taels? If you want to save your life, hurry up and write to your son, there is no ten..."

She said again, "If you don't have 500,000 taels, your life will be explained." ”

In fact, Jiang Yuji's tone of voice was not like that of a vicious kidnapper, but she was a little hesitant, she was not sure how much money Luo Wangshu could take out to redeem her father.

For this reason, Zhu Ziliu laughed secretly, she was confused, which was really unbearable.

"Don't, the hero spares his life, I'll write to my son, but can the price be lower, my son doesn't have such a thick family background..."

Luo Daguan is now six gods and no owner, the dagger in Jiang Yuji's hand is very close to him, against his body, he completely forgot that Jiang Yuji is daughter, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and called her a hero.

"Don't talk nonsense, your son doesn't have it, the prince does, if it's fatal, write a letter quickly!"

Zhu Ziliu smiled even deeper, her reason for robbing people is really funny, and the prince's is not Luo Wangshu's.

Jiang Yu saw him laughing again, and said shyly, "It's the first time someone robbed, is it so funny?"

Zhu Ziliu restrained his smile, waved his hand and said, "Do you know who we are?" Don't look at the Si Swen Wen we wear, we are feared Jiangyang thieves on the rivers and lakes, specializing in robbing the rich and helping the poor, uncle, if you want to live, write a letter quickly! If it is too late, we have to increase the price!" Zhu Ziliu took the dagger in Jiang Yuji's hand, and the cold light dripped.

Seeing that the dagger had reached his throat, Uncle Luo was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he said cautiously, "Don't, strong man, I'll write now!"

Zhu Ziliu was very satisfied, put away the dagger, the guard had already handed the prepared pen and paper to Uncle Luo, Uncle Luo was so frightened that his hands and feet trembled, and the hand holding the pen kept shaking, Jiang Yuji said, "Don't worry, we won't want your life now, but if you can't get the money, your life won't be saved." ”

Uncle Luo is a person who is extremely afraid of death, he has only lived a good life for a few years with his son Yu Yin, and of course he does not want to die now.

At the beginning, Luo Wangshu wrote countless letters asking him to go to the reunion, but he refused to go at all, because he was reluctant to live a comfortable life in Yizhou and those old acquaintances in the countryside.

After Uncle Luo wrote the letter, Zhu Ziliu read it and handed it to the guard, and the guard flew the pigeon and sent the message.

"Now that you've finished writing your letter, you'll be here tonight for the night, and we'll set off tomorrow. Jiang Yuji was very satisfied with the old man's cooperation.

On the second day, Zhu Ziliu hurriedly said goodbye and left alone, leaving dozens of guards, Jiang Yuji and Gao Zhihui took Uncle Luo back to Dadian together, and Lu E also followed.

When they arrived in Dadian, they checked into the Hongyun Inn, and Luo Wangshu happened to receive a letter written by his father, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he recognized his father's handwriting.

Luo Wangshu is the most important filial piety, otherwise Jiang Yuji would not have chosen him, and kidnapping his father can be said to have taken his weakness.

The letter extorted 500,000 taels, but he didn't, and ordered the housekeeper to finish the account roughly, but 300,000 cash, at this time there was no other way, he wanted to redeem his father, even if he smashed the pot and sold iron, he had to redeem it.

But the letter only gave him half a day, and in desperation, he thought of the prince, and did not hesitate to enter the palace to meet Jiang Nankang.
