Words written at the front: I want to say sorry to everyone, the article is too slow to update.

Also, as the story develops, my pit was not filled before the Spring Festival, disrupting the original plan. If you have any suggestions or comments on "Crossing the Pastoral Fragrance", please leave a message, thank you! Finally, I wish you all a happy Spring Festival! Blessed are the monkeys in the Year of the Monkey!

There were many more people coming in and out of Wang Yueying's house than before, and there were no fewer people until nightfall, and Xing Zhutou was one of these people.

When Xing Zhutou had not yet entered the main hall, he heard bursts of crying from inside in the distance. Chen Shouxin was beaten on the head and bleeding in the alley of the temple fair, unconscious, although he found the best doctor in Yuanhe Town, but only stopped the bleeding, bandaged the wound, and did not let him wake up from the coma. Chen Boxun was feeling guilty for not taking good care of his father and sister, and cried loudly, he was venting the guilt in his heart. The other person who was crying was not Wang Yueying, but Miao Cuihua.

Of course, Wang Yueying was also anxious in her heart, but what she needed more at this moment was calm. Crying won't solve the problem at all. In the past, when she was studying, she had heard about the case of the century where Li Zeju, the son of Li Ka-shing, the richest man in China, was kidnapped, but she didn't expect that in this time and space, she would also be "Li Ka-shing".

But after thinking about it, Wang Yueying felt that something was wrong. Hong Kong is a small place, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the rich are everywhere. Hong Kong is the richest in Asia in terms of the proportion of the wealthy. On average, 11.2 out of every million Hong Kongers are billionaires with assets of more than US$1 billion. In people's impressions, Hong Kong is also a frequent place for shocking kidnapping cases. Yuanhe Town is the richest town in Yuanhe County, and it is also a place with excellent social security. His own family is not the richest family in the town, how can this kind of thing fall on his head! She couldn't figure it out. In addition, if the kidnappers asked for money, there should have been a kidnapping letter, but the fact that she had not received the letter yet made her even more uneasy. Worried about the safety of the museum, she was powerless to comfort the two people who were sad at the moment.

"Yueying, Yueying. I received a letter from the kidnappers. Xing Zhutou held a piece of paper in his hand and walked quickly into the main hall. Xing Zhutou is the second eldest member of the Chen family, Chen Shouyi's father-in-law, and Wang Yueying is also a family. Hearing Xing Zhutou say this, Wang Yueying hurriedly greeted him, anxious to see the letter.

Wang Yueying took the letter from Xing Zhutou's hand and looked at it, only to see that the letter read:

The people of Qinglongzhai tied up the youngest daughter of Wang Yueying's family, and the time limit was before noon tomorrow, and they would take 1,000 taels of silver to Qinglongzhai to redeem people, otherwise the pavilion would be in danger of life.

is just a letter, no matter how you look at it, it is different from the kidnapping letter that Wang Yueying understands. She looked at the contents of the letter and muttered to herself again. This is not so much a kidnapping letter as a report letter, and this letter was not delivered to my own home, but directly to the yamen, which is very suspicious to think about.

"Xing Zhutou, this letter is directly to the yamen?" Wang Yueying asked.

"Yes, I shot an arrow at the goalpost, and I scared the doorkeeper half to death, and I thought someone was rebelling. Later, I found this letter and took it down to show Master Wu. When Lord Wu saw it, he thought that it was the kidnapper who kidnapped your girl, so he called me over and asked me to arrest this gang of bandits within a time limit, and I was also worried. I thought it was necessary to bring it to you, so I came over. Look at you here with people coming in and people leaving, what's the matter, the trustworthy haven't woken up yet? Xing Zhutou told him all the reasons, and finally didn't forget to care about Chen Shouxin's injury.

"I haven't woken up yet, thank you for your concern." Wang Yueying sighed and kept shaking her head.

"It's all one family, don't talk to two families." Xing Zhutou said.

Wang Yueying took the letter and looked at it, as if she remembered something, "Xing Zhutou, I don't think this letter was written by a kidnapper, it looks like someone wants the yamen to save people as soon as possible." ”

"Really? No, you see that the letter is clearly written, the people of Qinglongzhai kidnapped your girl's baby and extorted a ransom of 1,000 taels. Typical kidnapping letter, yes. Xing Zhutou looked like he was swearing and made a package ticket, and Wang Yueying didn't say anything more. Now I finally know who kidnapped the museum. She has been in Yuanhe for a few days, but she has never heard of Qinglongzhai, and she can't help but ask Xing Zhutou, who is drinking tea, what is Qinglongzhai.

"Speaking of this Qinglong Village, the origin is not small. It is not known what the original name of the owner of the village was, because there was a small cyan birthmark on his forehead, so he was nicknamed three-eyed blue. Originally, he was also a child of a poor family, he was a soldier in his early years, he practiced martial arts, he was born debauched, and he couldn't stay in the barracks, so he took a few of his subordinates to Niutou Mountain to settle down in the grass, and changed Niutou Mountain to be called Qinglong Mountain, and he was the owner of Qinglong Village. Robbing passing merchants and wealthy families near the bottom of the mountain. ”

"Why haven't you heard of such a famous person?"

Xing Zhutou took a sip of tea and continued: "Although that Niutou Mountain is said to be in the Yuanhe territory, it is actually far away from Yuanhe Town and closer to Qingzhou City, so most of the people who suffered were people from the Qingzhou territory, and they never came to Yuanhe to tie people here. Chuzhou and Qingzhou have been encircled and suppressed, and their gang relied on the dangerous mountain situation of Niutou Mountain, and they did not pay attention to the encirclement and suppression of the government at all. Qingzhou and Chuzhou are both ways. Saying that, Xing Zhutou showed a look of embarrassment on his face, "Lord Wu wants me to exterminate them within a time limit, where did I get the ability." ”

It seems that the origin of these kidnappers is really not small, and the government does not pay attention to it. However, in Wang Yueying's heart, the safety of the pavilion is the first priority, she said to Xing Zhutou: "What I am most worried about now is the safety of the pavilion, Xing Zhutou, what should I do about this matter?" Take money to ransom people? ”

"Now it seems that there is only one way to ransom people with money. They have hostages in their hands, and it is not easy for the government to attack. You can rest assured, it's true that the three-eyed blue person is a bandit and robber, but he also does things according to his word, and he has always released people after taking money, and he has never seen someone tear up a ticket with money. Xing Zhutou said this, but it made Wang Yueying feel a little relieved, it would be good if she could take the money and release people. Then all that remains is the question of how to raise a thousand taels of silver.

Now is different from the past, Wang Yueying is no longer the little widow in Hetou Village who was driven out by the Chen family. Selling recipes, investing in Piaoxiang Building, opening a winery, and taking the villagers to get rich, with her own efforts and the help of her friends, she started a business step by step and accumulated family wealth. Although there is still a big gap compared with the five wealthy families in Yuanhe Town, she has gotten rid of the cold and hunger and lived a well-off life. But then again, family property is still divided into movable property and immovable property, and large enterprises also have times when the flow of funds is insufficient and they cannot turn over. A thousand taels of silver is definitely not a small amount.

Just as Wang Yueying was hesitating for the ransom, Caidie came to her side and told her that Lu Sanniang from Splendid Workshop was here. Wang Yueying's eyes lit up, and she thought in her heart, the only way to do this now was to ask these rich friends to borrow a thousand taels to redeem the museum.
