Lu Sanniang was arranged by Caidie to drink tea in the inner hall.

Since the last time she saw the intimate clothes designed by Wang Yueying, she was impressed by Wang Yueying again, and the two of them cherished each other and became friends and good sisters who had nothing to say. After worshipping the God of Wealth in the God of Wealth Temple, she came home and listened to the maid next to her say that the kidnapped girl at the temple fair turned out to be Wang Yueying's youngest daughter, she thought to herself that Wang Yueying must be sad, and came to her house to see her without taking a break. After entering the door, I heard Caidie say that Chen Shouxin was beaten unconscious, and she was even more distressed for Wang Yueying, so when she waited, she felt tasteless when she drank tea.

Looking out of the house, I saw Wang Yueying coming over from a distance, Lu Sanniang couldn't help but say, hurriedly stepped forward to hold Wang Yueying's hand and asked for warmth, telling her not to worry, saying that things can always be solved.

"Sanniang. Thank you for coming to see me. Calm can't hide her sadness, Wang Yueying kept a straight face all afternoon, knowing that Lu Sanniang came to see her, she barely pretended to smile a little.

"I'm so polite to you. As soon as I got home, I heard about the museum, and I was anxious for you. I wonder how things are going now? "Lu Sanniang has lost her usual patience today, and always wants to let her good sister tide over the difficulties as soon as possible.

"Just now, Xing Zhutou took the kidnapper's letter and showed it to me. It turned out that the people from Qinglongzhai had taken away the pavilion and asked me for a ransom of 1,000 taels of silver. Wang Yueying said.

"Qinglongzhai, three-eyed blue?" Lu Sanniang asked.

"Yes, Sanniang knows about him?" Wang Yueying asked curiously.

"I dealt with it a few years ago. He robbed a batch of brocade silk to pay tribute at the border of Qingzhou, and that batch of silk was purchased by my brocade workshop. At the beginning, I felt that things were serious and wanted to redeem the money to come back, but unexpectedly, the three-eyed relatives asked for the price, and the lion mouthed. I had no choice but to report to the official, but the people in Chuzhou and Qingzhou did not arrest them, and then the matter was over. However, as far as I know, there is no precedent for the three-eyed blue to come to Yuan and tie people. ”

Xing Zhutou said the same thing. It's not good to come this time! Wang Yueying looked sad again.

"By the way, do you want to redeem people when you want to?" Lu Sanniang asked.

"Tomorrow at noon, I want someone to take a thousand taels to Qinglong Village to redeem people." Speaking of the ransom, the expression on Wang Yueying's face became more solemn.

"So how prepared are you? If you have any problems, just say to me. Lu Sanniang asked with concern.

"I'll tell you the truth, the silver I can use in my hand is not enough for a thousand taels, if Sanniang is convenient, can you borrow my silver to redeem the pavilion?" Wang Yueying doesn't like to ask for help the most, just like the last time she had some unpleasantness with Cai Hong over the matter of cooking school, and she has not asked him to come to the school to teach cooking. She also knows that this is not good, but she just can't open her mouth, maybe this is what we call tsundere!

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Sanniang turned around and ordered the maid next to her to go home and inform the bookkeeper, take a thousand taels and send it over immediately. In this way, the ransom problem will be solved, and the big stone in Wang Yueying's heart will fall to the ground slightly.

Early the next morning, Wang Zicheng set off to Qinglongzhai with two hundred taels of silver and eight hundred taels of silver. When discussing last night, Wang Yueying originally said that she would personally take the money to Qinglongzhai to redeem people, but when this remark came out, everyone was surprised. Miao Cuihua was even more frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, persuading her not to go in person. Although Wang Yueying usually has a lot of ideas and great skills, after all, the three-eyed blue are all robbers and bandits, and there may be any accidents in the process of ransom, so it is appropriate for her to be a woman. Lu Sanniang and Wang Zicheng also persuaded her in this way, and Wang Zicheng even recommended himself and took the initiative to take on the task of negotiating and ransom.

Let Wang Zicheng go alone, Wang Yueying is not sure. The pavilion has been kidnapped by the bad guys, and she doesn't dare to put her relatives in danger anymore, and still insists on ransom herself. For whom to ransom people, everyone argued, and in the end, Xing Zhutou weighed again and again and came forward to dissuade Wang Yueying. said that he took the catcher to personally accompany Wang Zicheng to Qinglongzhai to redeem the museum, so that Wang Yueying did not have to worry about safety, and said that he was also on official business, and this trip to Qinglongzhai was a must. After this arrangement, Wang Yueying was relieved and agreed to let Wang Zicheng go.

At noon in winter, the sun does not rise high, only a little above the horizon, stretching the figure very long. The sky was clear, and it was the time for the snow to melt, and the chill in the air made people shiver. Wang Zicheng and his party rubbed their hands vigorously, hoping to temporarily drive away the chill with a little heat generated by the friction of their hands.

Niutou Mountain is not far away. There is still snow on the mountain that has not melted, and most of the grass and trees are withered and decayed, making it even more desolate. The mountain is not high but very steep, the back of the mountain is a steep cliff, only a narrow mountain road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the mountain road is at a dangerous place with huge rocks on the side. If someone besieges the mountain and knocks down the boulders to block the mountain road, no one can get through, it can really be said that "one man is the key to ten thousand people".

Just when those fast catchers were still lamenting that Qinglongzhai could not be attacked for a long time and was completely dependent on the geographical advantage, they only heard a confident reprimand not far ahead.

"Stop. What do you do? Two men with spears in their arms stepped out from behind a boulder with a fierce look. Leaned forward a little to take a closer look, and saw that they were all dressed quickly, so they raised their spears into a defensive posture without saying anything. Before Wang Zicheng and the others could explain their intentions, there were bursts of horns all over the mountains, and after a while, the nearby mountains were crowded. Xing Zhutou thought that these people must have thought that they were here to suppress the bandits, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't panic, don't panic. We are not here to suppress bandits, but to ransom people. Go and tell your Three-Eyed Blues. ”

As soon as the words were spoken, a tall and thin man came down from the mountain, looking at his thin body, dressed as a scholar, compared with the reckless men around him, the contrast was great, and his face was not as fierce as theirs, but he was a thief and a rat-eyed guy, and he must not be a good person.

"Strategist, these people say they're here to ransom people?" The person who had stopped Wang Zicheng and the others on their way before stepped forward and said to that person. The man raised his eyebrows, and asked with an embarrassed face: "Which family are you here to ransom, why are you all from the government?" ”

"Strategist, right? Let's ransom Yuan and the daughter of Wang Yueying's family in the town. I was kidnapped by you at the temple fair yesterday, do you remember? Xing Zhutou replied.

"Oh, that little doll. Since you came to redeem it, did you bring the money? The military advisor asked.

"Naturally, I brought it." Xing Zhutou signaled that Wang Zicheng had a ransom in his baggage.

"Okay, then you can follow me into the village. However, the knife must be paid first. The military advisor shook his head and said.

As soon as he heard that he was going to surrender the knife, not to mention that Xing Zhutou was unwilling, all the people below were so angry that they couldn't leave it, and they all said that the knife would not leave people, and some even pulled out their knives and shouted. Seeing that the two sides are about to meet each other, the plan to ransom people has been ruined, and the most important thing is where a few of them have been able to fight so many bandits and bandits. Wang Zicheng was also at a loss, and was busy asking Xing Zhutou for ideas. Xing Zhutou scolded the head catcher, appeased everyone, discussed with everyone again, and said to the military advisor: "Military advisor, let's do this, I will pay the knife and go up with this little brother, and my fast catcher brothers will stay at the bottom of the mountain and will not surrender the knife, how about it?" ”

"Yes." After speaking, the military advisor instructed the people around him to seize Xing Zhutou's knife, and then took the two of them up the mountain into the village.
