Chapter 197: Don't Be Fooled
Mrs. Qin took advantage of the rumors in various teahouses and wine shops, saying that she was robbed on the way back to her hometown, and her family was robbed, and asked for a heavy ransom, Mrs. Qin also symbolically walked a few rich businessmen who were familiar with each other on weekdays, discussing borrowing money, in this troubled world, when it comes to borrowing money, everyone is hiding, and those she intends to go are very stingy, and she will not go to anyone who may lend it to her, so as not to harm others. 【Book by】
In this way, the news that the father and son of the Qin family were kidnapped and that they were going to be torn up if they had no money spread to the streets, and only the anxious figure of Mrs. Qin coming and going in a hurry was seen every day.
In an ordinary house, the leading man said to the man who had never taken off his cloak and veil: "It's been ten days, there has been no movement at all, the county lord of Ningfu may have already left Luzhou, and our top masters have all gathered in Luzhou, so waiting for the rabbit to wait, is it worth the loss?" ”
The world is in turmoil, and the master with unique skills is a scarce resource, and every place is urgently needed, and now for a woman, it is not worth it to work so hard and so on, and the leading man feels that it is not necessary.
"The key to success or failure in many things can only be a little woman, wait patiently, catch people, and it's worth it." The man in the cloak spoke in a very low voice, making it difficult to distinguish age, or even whether it was male or female.
Knowing it's a trap, will anyone jump down? The leading man secretly slandered that unless he was so arrogant that he thought he was the best in the world, there would be no such stupid person.
The man in the cloak saw through the mind of the leading man, and said indifferently: "Sometimes it is not so easy to abandon your conscience. ”
The lead man still didn't quite understand, but he knew that there were things to ask and some things not to ask too much.
One foggy morning, a little beggar wandered at the door of the big family's house, thinking of begging as soon as the door opened, the big family always had some leftovers to be dumped in the morning, and when he slipped to the door of a house that day, the reason was that when he saw a piece of blue silk, he thought that his family had dropped his purse. hurriedly stepped up with an arrow, wanting to carry it in his arms, because he was in such a hurry that he didn't even wait to see it clearly when he bent down to pick it up. A tentacle, this time felt soft and cool, not like a purse, a low throw suddenly screamed, and threw the things in his hand.
It turned out to be a human hand, because the fog was too heavy, the skin of the human hand was similar to the loess, and the sleeves were too bright, and only the sleeves were noticed at a glance......
In less than an hour, the streets and alleys of Luzhou City were all over the place. It is said that the head of the Qin family was kidnapped by bandits, because he did not raise enough ransom, and his hand was actually cut off by someone. It is not the same as the hand of a living person being cut off is not the same as the hand of a dead person being cut off, and the hand of the head of the Qin family is cut off alive.
For a time, the rich households in Luzhou were even more in danger, and they did not dare to go out of the city, and the inventory at the city gate was also extremely strict.
Many neighbors saw poor Mrs. Qin crying and vomiting blood, but they still wanted to support themselves and ask for help.
Qin Wu was stupefied when he saw his father's severed hand. My father was trampled on his finger in the mine, and his thumb was crooked, which was easily recognizable, and this was indeed my father's finger.
When she came to her senses, she saw that her mother was still holding her body and acting around. I couldn't bear it anymore, and that night a white silk was hanged, but fortunately the maid found it early, so she was saved.
Mrs. Qin's heart was anxious, and Qin Wu woke up. She couldn't care about comfort, and sent the maid and mother-in-law out, this time choking and said: "Wu'er, don't you want your mother's life even more?" Even if the mother owes you, if you want to die, you can hold on for a few more days! ”
Qin Wu's eyes were blank, and he said faintly: "Mother, I just don't want our whole family to suffer too much, although those people threaten to make my father and younger brother die well, but that's just a sentence, as long as we die, there is no point in torturing my father and younger brother, they will not do it if they waste their strength." ”
Mrs. Qin's tears flowed down her eyes when she said this, she didn't know this truth, but she thought that maybe there would be a way to live.
Qin Wu said again: "Mother, the county lord is not a fool, she will not be fooled, the longer it drags on, the more their father will suffer...... Take 10,000 steps back, if the county lord is really fooled, it proves that she is even more kind to me, we hurt her so much, the pig and dog might as well even if they can catch the county lord, what do you think those people are looking for the county lord to do? With such a vicious method, will they let go of the person who knows the inside story afterwards? Rather than taking revenge on the sake of conscience, it is better for us to make our own decisions, so as not to be worthy of our conscience, so as not to go into the oil pot after death. ”
"Smack, smack!" A few applause rang out, and the man in the cloak, who had been seen in the cell, walked in.
Qin Wu was scared in her heart, and subconsciously hid behind her mother.
After the man in the cloak walked in, he pulled a chair and sat down at random, and chuckled: "Up to now, Miss Qin and Mrs. Qin still think that the current Yiqiē is purely a disaster, and the county lord is benevolent, which is really sad, and self-deception is also a kind of happiness, but I like to expose the ugliness of Yiqiē." ”
Mrs. Qin and Qin Wu were silent, and they didn't even show a trace of curiosity in their eyes.
In the end, he is not a mediocre person, but he can still calm down, the man in the cloak sighed secretly in his heart, it is easy to know his master by looking at his servants, and from the style of Mrs. Qin's mother and daughter, he can faintly see the extraordinary strategy of the Ningfu County Lord, and he does not play any psychological warfare with a chess-like character like Mrs. Qin's mother and daughter, and said straightly: "Chen Zhenpeng, this lady must be very familiar?" ”
With a specific question, Mrs. Qin couldn't avoid answering, so as not to anger the man and suffer unnecessarily, nodded and said: "He is a shopkeeper under me, in charge of a big restaurant, very capable, and has helped me a lot." ”
The man in the cloak said: "I'm afraid that Shopkeeper Chen will help Mrs. not only in the restaurant business, but also in food, as far as I know, this Shopkeeper Chen is bold and careful, and dares others not to dare to do so, presumably for Mrs. Rijin to make money." ”
Mrs. Qin said calmly: "Yes, Shopkeeper Chen has helped a lot, and Shopkeeper Chen of the Qin family business house can have such a scale. ”
"Do you know the origin of Shopkeeper Chen?" The man in the cloak asked.
Mrs. Qin said: "He said that he was originally a wealthy businessman in the south, and in the early years of the war in the south, his family was ruined, and there was only a young daughter left by his side...... Nothing special. ”
