Chapter 191: Civil strife
Han Jiangxue knew that the other party would definitely make a fuss about paying the ransom, and even she vaguely felt that those people might let her send the ransom, because in the Han family, she should be regarded as making the other party extremely annoying and wanting to clean up, right?
When Han Feng heard his daughter say this, he knew that there would be a lot of danger in saving Brother Qing'er at that time, and he didn't want his daughter to be in danger again, but after thinking about it, the Han family is in danger now, since her daughter has already had a perfect plan, it is better not to tie her hands and feet anymore, so that she can show her hands and feet with peace of mind.
Han Jiangxue has been similar to the personality of boys since she was a child, and this is what Han Feng had the most headache in the past, and he always felt that his daughter did not look like a girl, which really made him brainless. And now, he is a little lucky, no matter what, when the family is facing difficulties, whether it is a son or a daughter, the chances of survival of a child who can stand alone are always much higher than others.
Early the next morning, the kidnappers were not in a hurry to come with new news, but the Han family's compound was crowded, and the relatives of the Han family were basically complete, and it was obvious that some people were not good at it.
is the same as Han Jiangxue's second uncle who had an accident in Huaizhou before, this time, Brother Qing'er was kidnapped, and it was also inexplicably spread quickly.
Almost all the side branches of the Han family got the news and heard that the kidnappers demanded one million taels of silver for the Han family to ransom people. Therefore, many aunts and uncles, uncles and aunts all ran over to ask if Han Feng was the case.
Even the patriarch was invited by them, and his mouth was good. One by one seems to have come to discuss the rescue of Brother Qing'er, but the frame is obviously more concerned about the question of how to take the one million taels.
Han Feng was busy outside, and he didn't know that his home was surrounded by his clansmen. The servant sent to deliver the letter to him did not have a specific place to look for for a while, so he had to look for the places where the old man was most likely to go one by one.
Although Han Feng is not here, so many clansmen have come, no matter how they come, they can't close the door and turn them away.
Han Jiangxue asked all the elders of the clan to be invited to the hall to sit down for tea first, and the second and third ladies came out to accompany the entertainment. It's just that no one has covered Brother Qing'er's matter, only that although Brother Qing'er's whereabouts are unknown, he keeps his mouth shut and doesn't let go, and he hasn't heard of anything like kidnapping a million taels.
"Two brothers-in-law. You're just opening your eyes and talking nonsense. The hall uncle said unhappily with a straight face: "So many of us have heard about it, isn't this also concerned about Brother Qing'er, so he hurriedly came over to help find a way?" It is better for you to guard against us like thieves. Not a word of truth, what does that mean? ”
When the others heard this, they immediately responded, only saying that the second lady and the third lady regarded them as outsiders. I didn't put the Han family in my eyes at all. The old patriarch was carried out by everyone. yelling for the patriarch to give a comment to see if they were all kindly eaten by dogs.
The second lady and the third lady suddenly turned blue and white, and they explained for a long time but it didn't have any effect, but it made everyone more angry, and even the old patriarch sent a message to tell them not to hide it anymore, what to say directly, Mo In the end, it delayed the big event of saving Brother Qing'er and hurt the feelings of the family.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more stiff, the second and third aunts were forced to die by a large group of clansmen. Han Jiangxue on the side suddenly asked: "Uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, ninth uncle and aunts, where did you hear that someone used Brother Qing to extort one million taels of silver?" ”
Han Jiangxue's voice suddenly made the originally noisy crowd stop. Qi Shushu looked over.
Most of the elders present were named by Han Jiangxue on the spot, and after everyone looked at each other, it was the eldest aunt who spoke up first: "Snow girl, don't you play any tai chi with the eldest aunt here, there is such a big thing, don't you know?" It doesn't matter who tells us, what matters is how can you hide it from us about such a big thing? Okay, we don't care, but we want to help, so we are here to ask you face to face, how can you still treat us like fools? ”
"What did the eldest aunt say about this, my niece just asked you, who told you that Brother Qing was kidnapped and asked for a ransom of one million taels?" Han Jiangxue was not as easy to fool as her second and third aunts, so she didn't pay attention to the useless words that her eldest aunt said, and asked who said such a thing.
"Do we have to tell us someone about this? Word has spread in the capital now. The eldest aunt took Han Jiangxue's words and brought them over with a light sentence: "It is said that there is no wind and no waves, do people dare to spread such a thing?" Besides, when your third uncle was just carried back the day before yesterday, you all sent a lot of people to look for Brother Qing that day, but there was no movement in the past two days, isn't this an obvious thing? ”
"Has the news spread in the capital? So why haven't I heard about it? When this spreads, someone has to reach you, right? ”
Han Jiangxue asked rhetorically and stretched out her hand to stop the third lady who wanted to come forward to explain, signaling that they didn't have to worry about it first: "Also, no matter how I look at it, I don't think that today's uncles and aunts are not here to ask for help, but as if they have come to Xingshi to ask for guilt." What's going on here? ”
Seeing this, the eldest aunt looked unwilling to worry more about a junior and said, "How do you talk to this girl?" We're all kind, but you only think of us in the worst, it's too ......"
"Why can't the eldest aunt directly say who told you that Brother Qing'er was tied up and these rumors? Could it be that there is some ulterior secret in this, or is this a matter that the eldest aunt told nonsense? ”
Han Jiangxue was unrelenting, staring at the eldest aunt directly, not giving her a chance to avoid the problem at all.
"What nonsense are you talking about, but your second uncle heard his friends in the yamen say it himself, where am I talking nonsense!" The eldest aunt was quick to speak. but gave the second cousin out.
Seeing this, the second uncle first glared at the eldest aunt quite unhappily, and then didn't bother to deny anything. said directly: "My friend also heard about it, doesn't this mean that the matter has already spread?" Okay, don't mess around here, you girl, who said it doesn't matter, what matters is what is going on now? Is your father really going to give a million pieces of silver to those people, this kind of thing can't be so rash, how can he make his own decisions without consulting us? I've heard people say that you haven't even reported it. If someone cheats it, it's one million taels, not ten or two hundred taels! At that time, no one else was saved. Throwing so much more silver out and wasting it! ”
Hearing the words of the second uncle, Han Jiangxue immediately frowned: "How can the second uncle be like a woman?" Brother Qing'er's matter, a random cat and dog outside the house said a sentence and the second uncle believed it, why did our own family members not believe it at all after saying it for a long time? ”
She was displeased, and she made no secret of her dislike for these so-called relatives. He said with a look of patience as much as possible: "I haven't sent anyone to find Brother Qing in the past few days. It's just because the third uncle raised enough strength to say that when he came back, he didn't bring Brother Qing along the way. Brother Qing is still taking care of the place where the third uncle used to stay, the reason is so simple, how can it be as if we have done something very wrong on our side and can't stand the relatives of the clan? Regardless of whether the elders are well-intentioned or have listened to the slanderous rumors of those people, in short, Brother Qing'er's affairs are our own affairs, and if you care for us kindly, you will sincerely thank you, but if you want to ask for blame, forcibly interfere in the affairs of our house. Then I'm afraid I really can't control it. ”
"Snow girl, what are you talking about? It's disrespectful and presumptuous! Seeing Han Jiangxue, the second uncle bluntly said that they were not qualified to come and ask. For a while, his face instantly fell, and he put on the posture of an elder as if he wanted to teach Han Jiangxue a lesson.
Seeing this, the second lady and the third lady were afraid that their niece would suffer, so they subconsciously wanted to step forward to defend the explanation, but Han Jiangxue seemed to have guessed their thoughts, and soon cast a reassuring look at them again.
In this way, the two quickly endured it, and simply listened to Han Jiangxue's meaning.
"What is the second uncle doing with one of my juniors? I'm telling the truth, and the truth is never so good. ”
Han Jiangxue's face was arrogant, and she simply took out her previous smug look: "Don't you keep saying that you just want to ask for verification and help at this time?" Now that we say that you don't believe it, and you still look like we have calculated it, what kind of trouble is this? ”
"Come on, believe it or not, you don't need to help or anything, as long as the elders are not here to stir up the wind and rain, it is already a great help. I'm sorry, there are a lot of things in the house, uncles and aunts if you don't have anything else to do, please go back, my father has a lot of things to do outside, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time for a while and a half to deliberately delay the business and run back. ”
Han Jiangxue immediately put on a send-off posture, too lazy to talk to these people.
If you don't talk to death all at once, these people don't know when they will go around the corner. Anyway, it is clear that the comer is not good, so why leave any more leeway, she wants to see which one these so-called relatives want to make trouble under the guise of helping.
was smashed by Han Jiangxue with such a call, everyone's faces were not good-looking, the second aunt was a smart person, and quickly stopped the second uncle who was about to get angry, and she answered the phone instead.
"Snow girl, look what you are doing, we are all members of the Han family, how can you think of us elders like that?"
The second aunt looked like a peacemaker and said, "We're not afraid that the Han family will be harmed, are we?" Although it is your right to deal with Brother Qing'er's affairs, our entire Han family has always been one, and the broken bones are still connected to the tendons, how can you make us ask without even asking? ”
"That is, if Brother Qing is really tied up, it is one million taels and not ten thousand taels of silver, if so much cash is taken away at once, not to mention the loss of this million taels on the surface, wouldn't the industries of our Han family all have to be affected by capital turnover? The entire Han family will not have to follow suit, and the foundation of the ancestors will have to be shaken! Can we just ask about such a big thing, is it possible, do you still want us to say nothing, there is no such reason in this world! ”
The eldest aunt snorted and directly put the words out, she didn't have as much saliva as the second aunt to say useless words, but she didn't turn any corners anymore, and directly said what they really cared about in their hearts.
Although most of the Han family's industry is from Han Feng's house, and all of their relatives together only account for 20%, it is precisely because of this that they are even more worried about their own interests. After all, even if Han Feng's house loses a lot of skinny camels bigger than horses, what about them? Where can I stand such an unprovoked implication.
Hearing this, the third lady was not happy at the moment, and took the words and said angrily: "His eldest aunt's words are really funny, I can hear it, whether my brother Qing is really tied up or not, you don't care at all, you really care about being afraid that Brother Qing will affect your harvest interests!" Where is this here to help think of a way, it is clear that he is afraid that there is such a thing, and he wants to stop his uncle from saving people! ”
Angry, the third lady didn't lose her mind when she spoke, and she didn't directly tell Brother Qing that he was really tied up.
"Brother and sister said this, how can we be the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless people, Brother Qing is the heir of the Han family, it is best that nothing happens, if something really happens, it will naturally have to be saved, but how to save the way is very particular, people say that if you want a million taels, you will give a million taels, isn't that a fool?"
The eldest aunt retorted at the moment: "According to this case, whoever wants money in the future can just use the same trick to find it again, and it will cost a few million taels to tie up a random person from the Han family." Anyway, do they think that the Han family has a lot of money, and they will take out the Han family in one or two times, where is there such a good money in this world? You can't patronize your own son and ignore the lives of the rest of the Han family, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, several other aunts nodded yes, obviously there was no more embarrassment. Although several cousins and uncles did not say anything, their faces looked like they agreed with the words of the eldest aunt. Even the old patriarch was silent, which was considered a tacit acquiescence to what these people were doing. (To be continued......)
