Chapter 308: Ransom

Kyoto is boiling in the middle of the night!

After the curfew, there was a knock on the door of many officials and wealthy households, and when they opened the door, they saw a letter lying quietly on the ground. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Waiting for the porter to deliver the letter to the Lord's house, all the people boiled directly!

Their son (grandson) was captured by the bandits, and now the bandits have come to ask for a ransom!

One by one, the families who received the letter did not dare to speak out for fear that their children would be torn up, until a few families who were reluctant to pay for the money for various reasons reported to the official, and many people found out that this time the matter was very big.

Even overnight, there was no curfew, and the direct forbidden army was dispatched to control the whole of Kyoto.

So many sons and brothers have been arrested, this is all against the sky, who is still sleeping.

Not to mention how Kyoto is forbidden and strictly investigated, the Liu family is also going to be turned upside down.

When the porter delivered the letter, Liu Yao and Du Xiaoxi had already fallen asleep with Xiaohua'er in their arms.

All the way from Kyoto to Nishiyama Shoin was the Zhuangzi Racecourse of officials and wealthy families in Beijing, plus the pilgrims who went to the temple, it can be said that there were not many people along the way, and I never heard of anything wrong.

Xiao Prosperity didn't have to pick up and drop off at home last year, and every time he rode to the academy with his friends. Today's Xiaofeng Prosperity's luggage is also placed in the carriage of the fat family, and Du Xiaoxi doesn't know if the coachman has come back. Thinking that as usual, they had already arrived at the academy.

As a result, the son was kidnapped!

A bunch of people are going crazy!

Since ancient times, bandits have been the masters of killing people and stealing goods, and it is normal to take silver and tear up tickets, and there are never many people who can save people.

Thinking that Xiao Prosperity didn't know what to suffer at the moment, the family was distressed and uncomfortable.

The uncle and wife of the Liu family, the second master of Liu and his wife, Liu Yao and his wife and the stars gathered in the living room, and the family tacitly concealed the old lady who was becoming more and more decayed.

Xiao Prosperity passed on to Uncle Liu and his wife, and the two directly took Xiao Prosperity as their own grandson, and at this moment the two were no longer as dignified and stable as before.

Uncle Liu was in a hurry, this is the grandson he finally begged for, Xiao Prosperity is so cute, how can he live if something happens to him!

The eldest aunt hugged the maid directly and cried uncontrollably, calling mournfully in her mouth, her poor grandson!

"Let's hurry up and make up the silver, can we take out the 200,000 taels of silver at home? I still want all the silver tickets, is it too late to go to the money bank tomorrow morning to exchange time? Magnolia, go and calculate how much silver we have? Uncle Liu looked at his younger brother and nephew without saying anything, and directly urged the crying aunt to make up the money.

Liu Yao hurriedly stopped: "Uncle, don't worry, the silver will definitely be able to be scraped together." ”

Now, the key is not the question of money, but the safety of small prosperity.

Who can guarantee that if they give the silver, those people will definitely send the little prosperity back safely?

They all understand this truth, but how can they sit back and pin their hopes on the bandits who dare to kill and set fires will keep their promises.

Second Master Liu sighed, "No matter what, prepare the silver first, and then put it where they requested." ”

Several people were silent with sad faces.

Liu Erye is a good businessman, and the hundreds of shops in Shanshui County over the years are just enough for the Liu family to eat for a lifetime. 200,000 taels of silver can be taken out directly from the account office.

Just when the money was being prepared and discussing whether to send someone to follow him tomorrow, there was a sudden loud commotion outside.

Dozens of sons and sons of rich and powerful families were captured by bandits! The whole city is under martial law!

When everyone in the Liu family heard the news, their worries became even greater.

Now that it's such a big fuss, will those bandits be afraid of being caught, so they just tear up the ticket and run away? After all, they are not without gains, most of these children carry the shackles of this half a year, and it is definitely worth it for five or six thousand taels per person. This money is nothing to them, but in the eyes of many bandits, it is definitely enough to live for a few lifetimes!

The barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, it's not that they don't believe in the government, what if those bandit dogs jump off the wall in a hurry?

It is impossible for Du Xiaoxi to pin his hopes on the government, not to mention that the government's case-handling efficiency is outrageously poor, and Du Xiaoxi believes in himself more than the government.

In anger, silence, and weeping, the night passed when no one had slept.

At this time, news also came from Xishan Academy.

It turned out that although Xishan Academy was surprised that many students did not return on time yesterday, they thought that they wanted to delay it to the next day to come early in the morning. As a result, they waited for the people from the yamen to rush over overnight to inquire about the situation, and they knew that something had happened.

After questioning the students who had arrived safely, the college came to a conclusion.

The students who arrived at the academy came in large groups. And they also found the suspiciousness of the scholar whose car had broken down.

It turned out that the carriage had been broken from morning to afternoon, and the scholar had not moved his nest. So, they must have been deceived by that scholar.

These are not substantially helpful.

The letter to the Yanagi family said that the day of payment was three days later in a tea house around Kyoto, and there were mountains near the tea house, and it was really inconvenient to arrest people.

Du Xiaoxi decided to take advantage of these three days to find out where his son went.

After opening the city gate, Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao went out of the city gate with the stars, accompanied by Xiao Prosperous's pet and a big black dog.

From Kyoto to Nishiyama, there are now people from the forbidden army's yamen, and they are also collecting as much information as possible to try to find people.

Du Xiaoxi has the title of county lord, and he is the emperor's younger sister, and he is a master who cannot be messed with. The people of the forbidden army also understood her, worried about her son, hesitated, and let her go.

The big black dog didn't know that its owner had been lost, and he was about to run wild in the surrounding wheat fields after being put down from the carriage, and finally Du Xiaoxi and Fanxing shouted and screamed before they shouted back.

"Woo~~" The big black dog sniffed Xiao Prosperity's shoes at home for a long time, and didn't know what the hostess wanted to do, so he simply held the shoes and gnawed them.

"It's so big, it's good, go find Xiaochang!"

"Run! Run! Wait until there's meat to eat! ”

The big black dog still ran around a few people happily with the shoes that had revealed the cotton in his mouth.

Liu Yao and Fanxing couldn't help but sigh when they looked at Du Xiaoxi, who was still commanding the big black dog. A beast is a beast, and you can't count on it at all!

"Dahei, will you go find him?"

Du Xiaoxi pulled the black dog and said for a long time, and his heart sank a little bit, is this really not good?

But she clearly remembers that when she was a child, she used the family dog to find the stolen honey locust, and she must be able to do it now!

Probably feeling Du Xiaoxi's low pressure, the big black dog began to think about the little master who kissed and hugged him, the female ancestor was so fierce, it wanted to find the little master who loved it.
