You must know that the first condition for Cao Liang to redeem Wang Yuanji is to recover Cao Yan's body, followed by a huge ransom, if even the first condition cannot be met, then this transaction is obviously unattainable.

What's even more terrifying is that Cao Liang was angry and sent Wang Yuanji, a big living person, into a cold corpse, which was terrible.

Although Xun Kai is Sima Zhao's nephew, his own mother is Sima Zhao's sister, and she is the sister of the same father and mother, but Xun Kai can know Sima Zhao's temper, if Wang Yuanji has an accident, Sima Zhao is definitely not recognized by the six relatives, so the first one to be operated on is naturally undoubtedly him Xun Kai.

Therefore, Xun Kai did not dare to fake the hands of others in this matter, and did it himself, just to avoid any leakage.

Cao Yan's skeleton was taken out of the grave, replaced in the golden silk nan wooden coffin prepared by Sima Zhao, and carried it in a carriage to Mengjin Pass.

And all the money and food needed were gathered in a few days. I have to say that the Sima family still has a deep foundation in this regard, and more than 100 million dollars of money and grain is an astronomical amount for anyone else, but for Sima Zhao, what can be done with money is not a thing, and in just a few days, the money and grain were transported to Mengjin Pass and loaded on dozens of ships.

Among them, the Sima family itself is about half, and the rest are from the Wang Su family and other wealthy scholars, although Sima Zhao insisted that the money and grain were borrowed from the scholars and returned in the coming year, but these scholars were not ready to ask Sima Zhao to pay it back, and at this moment they finally found an opportunity to tie up the Sima family, how could they give up easily?

Therefore, the families of the major scholars were eager to donate money and food, and they rushed to be the first, for fear that it would be too late to pledge, so Sima Zhao did not accept it.

Of course, Sima Zhao is more and better, after all, the major scholars' families have produced more, and the proportion of his Sima family's burden can be reduced, after all, Sima Zhao is now embezzling most of the food and salary of the Luoyang defenders, if the war is solved soon, then there will be no problems. However, if the war drags on for a long time, it is very easy to have problems in terms of money and food.

If Sima Zhao is funded by the major scholars, he can eliminate the hidden danger.

In short, Sima Zhao spared no effort to redeem Wang Yuanji, although there was still a thorn in his heart, but he still had a trace of fantasy, that is, maybe Wang Yuanji could still keep her innocence.

Xun Kai came to see Sima Zhao and informed Cao Liang of the news, saying that Wang Yuanji had arrived at the north bank of Mengjindu, and the two sides could trade at any time.

Sima Zhao's mood became complicated at the moment, but this matter was already like an arrow in the string, and he had to send it, he told Xun Kai and sent someone to inform Cao Liang that at noon tomorrow, the two sides would trade on the Yellow River.

The process of the transaction has been negotiated in advance, and the two parties agreed that the ships of the transaction shall not carry any weapons, and after arriving in the center of the river, the two parties will check it clearly and carry out the transaction.

Sima Zhao's side, prepared dozens of boats, each boat was full, the draft was very deep, of course, one ship was an exception, that is, the ship loaded with Cao Yan's coffin, in order to win Cao Liang's trust, Xun Sui arranged for Cao Liang to send people after Cao Yan's body was released, and he would not leave this coffin an inch, so as to prove that he was not suspected of dropping the bag.

Cao Liang only prepared one ship on his side, and in addition to carrying Wang Yuanji's mother and son, there were still a large number of shipwrights, because after the transaction was completed, the sailors of the Sima family would leave the ship, and these shipwrights would be responsible for sailing back these ships full of money and grain.

Cao Liang arranged for Fang Bu to be a special envoy and go to the heart of the river to trade, even if he didn't use weapons, with Fang Bu's skills, there would be no problem in fighting dozens of them at all, not to mention that Fang Bu still had Wang Yuanji as a hostage in his hand, Cao Liang didn't have to worry about Sima Zhao cheating, unless he really wanted to change a corpse and go back.

Everything is ready to stop, and when the agreed time comes, both parties wave their flags and signal that they can start trading.

Cao Liang ordered to bring Wang Yuanji's mother and son out, Wang Yuanji was probably a sleepless relationship, with a slight haggard on her face, she came to Cao Liang's side, hugged the child tightly, and didn't say a word.

Cao Liang smiled and said, "Mrs. Wang, why, don't you have a parting speech or something?" After a parting, we will have an indefinite meeting, and if you regret it now, I can still cancel this transaction, how about it? ”

How could Wang Yuanji pay attention to Cao Liang's ridicule, pursed her lips, and didn't say a word, but her eyes were already glimpsing the other side of the Yellow River, and I am afraid that her mind has already drifted across the Yellow River now.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Cao Liang also seemed a little excited, and said: "Anyway, I still wish Mrs. Wang a return to her hometown, a family reunion, harmony, and happiness." ”

After that, Cao Liang instructed Fang Bu to take her on the boat, and Wang Yuanji walked in a curling manner, but the moment she boarded the boat, she still glanced back at Cao Liang and said softly: "Thank you." Then without waiting for Cao Liang to speak, he turned his head straight and boarded the boat.

Cao Liang touched the short beard on the lips that he had just grown, and smiled dumbly, speaking of which, he is just a ticket kidnapper, the other party pays the ransom, and he releases people here, which is a normal process, so why thank you? Could it be that she thanked herself for not tearing up the ticket?

In fact, leaving Wang Yuanji in the Cao family, Cao Liang also had a feeling of being anxious, and everyone in the Cao Mansion thought that Wang Yuanji's child was his, which made Cao Liang speechless and embarrassed.

Cao Liang didn't know what kind of expression Liu Ying should have after he knew that he had sent Wang Yuanji away, but Cao Liang was confident that he could convince his mother that he really had no half-dime relationship with Wang Yuanji's child, and Cao Liang exchanged Wang Yuanji for his father's remains this time, which should also be the happiest thing for his mother. It's okay to fulfill a mother's wish.

What's more, Wang Yuanji also brought himself more than 100 million dollars worth of money and grain, Cao Liang can use these money and grain to arm an army again, this deal, no matter how you calculate it, is also extremely cost-effective.

On the river, the boats on both sides were walking opposite each other, and the sailors were desperately rocking the oars and rowing, and soon reached the position in the center of the river, and when they were kept at a distance of a stone's throw away, Fang Bu ordered the boat to stop, and Xun Kai on the opposite side also ordered to stop the boat.
