Chapter 143: Ransom
ps: Thank you for your monthly passes, tips and messages~
The government can't just enter people, and besides, it's a big day for scientific research, and the father and daughter have no clue when they run around.
Transporting disaster victims out of the city to do coolies such as mining and road repair is a conformist thing, Wu Nuandong doesn't want to think in the worst direction, but the eldest uncle's family and the second uncle's family have not heard from her so far, so she has to think about it in many ways.
The matter was not told to Wu Xingzhou, he was a candidate and could not be distracted. And her martial father is an upright person, looking at Wu Xingzhou at night always sighing, Wu Nuandong was angry, and gave a ban to Wu Xingzhou, not allowed to go out of the room, fortunately, Wu Xingzhou is not a particularly suspicious child, I just thought that the fourth uncle was worried about his poor test, so he became more and more concerned.
Wu Qiuzhi saw some signs, and Wu Nuandong reassured him for a few words, then turned a blind eye and stopped pursuing it.
Early the next morning, Wu Nuandong decided to act separately from Daddy Wu, Daddy Wu continued to go to small restaurants and restaurants to inquire about the news, and she was going to Tongji in Lingshan County to try her luck to see if the doctor in charge of Tongji had any way in this regard, even if not, tell them where they could redeem people.
Maybe God also took pity on Nuan Nuan, and Shopkeeper Luo actually checked the accounts in Lingshan County.
Surprise both at the moment.
Wu Nuandong went straight to the point.
"It's okay if people don't transport it, but if they do, it's a little harder!" Shopkeeper Luo pondered for a moment and put down the ledger in his hand, "Can you be sure that you are in Lingshan County?" β
"Can't! You can only recognize it! Wu Nuandong said honestly, "The problem is that we don't know where to recognize people." β
"So be it! I'll take you in, and we'll come out if there's any, and if so, we'll talk about it in detail! Shopkeeper Luo didn't shirk and walked out immediately. stretched out his big hand to hold Nuan Nuan's little hand, and led her directly out of Tongji.
Wu Nuandong was overjoyed, tilted his head and praised sweetly: "Uncle Luo is so good!" I'll give you Ganoderma lucidum to eat next time! β
Seeing her cute appearance of flattering and not flattering, Shopkeeper Luo was amused, and Yan SΓΉ, who was tense all year round, had a smile on his face, and scolded: "People are small and big!" β
At the back door of the county office, the shopkeeper Luo didn't know what was revealed. The officer who guarded the door was easier to talk than ever. And he opened the door.
Wu Nuandong was stunned, and whispered: "My father and I still want to give him money yesterday, but he doesn't want it, and he said that he is not allowed to enter during the retry." It's scary! β
Shopkeeper Luo nodded, "This is the rule of the general of the town army!" β
Wu Nuandong didn't quite understand, "Is the general in charge of the county government?" β
"The area around Qinzhou is the fief of the general of the town army."
Seeing that Shopkeeper Luo didn't want to say more, Wu Nuandong was also interested and didn't ask deeply. I just feel that the title of General Zhenjun is a little familiar. After two sentences, she threw it out of her head, and now she is more concerned about whether there are uncles in it.
There are too many victims. Temporarily housed in a cell. Shopkeeper Luo didn't go in, and Wu Nuandong didn't think it would be useful for him to go in, after all, he didn't know the eldest uncle and the second uncle's family.
The cell was full of people, and there were many people crowded, and there was the cry of the little baby. Not to mention the smell, it stinks badly. The light inside is dark, but fortunately, Wu Nuandong's vision is better than ordinary people. She relaxed, trying to distinguish familiar faces from the dirty crowd. Don't miss a single person.
As soon as I reached the middle section, I only heard an excited shout, "Nuan Nuan? β
Wu Nuandong's heart ached, and he hurriedly ran over and grabbed the railing and looked inside, standing and sitting inside, crowded with cells, fortunately men and women were separated, so there was no big mistake.
This happens to be the men's cell.
At a glance, she saw the man in the corner who suddenly got up, and shouted with teary eyes: "Uncle......"
"Nuan Nuan, how did you come here? Where's your dad? How are you? Wu Tianxin impatiently pulled away from the crowd, stretched out the cage with both hands, and held Wu Nuandong's arms tightly, his eyes were full of redness.
"My dad is out there to find out about you! Uncle, I'm fine, Brother Xingyi and Grandpa are waiting for you in Gaomen Village! Are the eldest aunt, Xiaoshan, and second uncle here? Looking at the uncle with a scruffy beard and a handful of bones left, Wu Nuandong couldn't hold back anymore, and asked about other people's situations while crying.
"Nuan Nuan doesn't cry, Uncle is fine!" Wu Tianxin was distressed and wanted to pull out his sleeves to wipe Nuan Nuan, but the clothes were dirty and smelly, so he had to hurry up and coax, "Your eldest aunt is in the women's cell, Xiaoshan and his father are not here, and your second uncle's family is not here, they should be fine." β
"Uncle, I'll redeem you and your aunt, you wait!" Wu Nuandong was so anxious that she was about to run out, Wu Tianxin grabbed her, clenched his fists, he smiled reluctantly, "Don't worry, don't worry, we still have ten days and half a month to be taken away, Nuan Nuan, you go to see your aunt first, she misses you very much!" β
Wu Nuandong did not doubt it, and nodded obediently, "Okay, uncle, you wait, I'll try to bring you some food!" You wait for me! β
"Good!" Holding back the urge to cry, Wu Tianxin gently touched Wu Nuandong's head, and he was very comforted to see his family at the last moment.
Wu Nuandong came out of the cell and explained to Shopkeeper Luo, and entered the women's cell on the other side.
The eldest aunt is really there, and the usually neat woman is helpless now with her hair knotted.
Wu Nuandong couldn't help but reddened her eyes again, and the eldest aunt stretched out her cage arm to hug her, kept rubbing her back, crying and laughing and crying with joy.
Wu Nuandong didn't stay long, not to mention anything else, redeeming the two of them first is the main topic.
The shopkeeper Luo is very powerful, without saying a word, he took her directly to the main book, after a simple conversation, Wu Nuandong was dumbfounded, Uncle They will be shipped away tonight, not at all like Uncle said, there are still ten days and half a month of wealth.
After asking carefully, Wu Nuandong knew the reason.
Ransom people, or redeem people like uncles and aunts who have lost their household registration certificates and road guides, the high ransom paid is scary, and it is completely sky-high.
When I first heard that, Wu Nuandong was also a little soft-footed.
A huge sum of 150,000 taels per person!
Her ransom of more than 200,000 taels is only enough for one person, where is she going to raise money now!
Shopkeeper Luo saw her difficulty and asked, "Is there a problem with money?" β
At this time, you can't be reckless or concealed, Wu Nuandong gritted his teeth, "I only have 230,000 taels here." "There are 30,000 taels of silver in my grandfather's hands at home, which is for circulation and emergency, but far water can't quench my thirst. It cost a lot of money to build a house, buy land, buy seedlings and customize a sugar machine, but fortunately, vegetables and medicinal herbs earned a lot of money, so that there were tens of thousands of taels of wealth. This time the deposit is back to the pre-liberation period! Thanks to the fact that she earned 200,000 taels at the beginning, she was ready to press the bottom of the box, and now she just happened to use it.
Shopkeeper Luo calculated, "It just so happens that your family has a sum of money that should be settled, I'll go get it for you!" β
"That's only a few thousand taels, far from enough!" Wu Nuandong clenched his fists, hesitating whether to sell a ginseng. opened his mouth, and before he could speak, he heard the shopkeeper Luo say: "Now I have sixty or seventy thousand yuan on the account in my store, you can use it first, but this money can't be moved for too long, Nuan Nuan, do you understand?" β
Wu Nuandong's eyes were bright, and he nodded vigorously, this time he owed the shopkeeper Luo's favor.
After all, Shopkeeper Luo is also someone else's subordinate, she can't embarrass him, the ginseng is to be taken out, but it can't be now, first solve the business of the uncle and aunt, Fang is talking about something else. (To be continued.) )
