(Three more arrived, continue to ask for collection!) ）

Fan Xi was wandering around the house uneasily, he had been here for two or three days, and he saw that it was going to be the New Year, but he didn't even see the shadow of the young lady, which couldn't help but make him start to worry, so he was looking for people from the Xingtianjun every day to urge him to see their young lady, at least he was relieved.

The people of the Xingtian Army were not as fierce and vicious as ordinary bandits, they had a good attitude towards him, they served him with good food and drink every day, and they did not have any disrespect for him, which made him somewhat confused.

This time, he was ordered by Fan Yaoshan, and when he followed the people of the Xingtian Army, he was also mentally prepared, thinking that it was not good that the Xingtian Army was another trap this time, but he just wanted to tie him up with such a meat ticket, if that was the case, he would rather die than become a meat ticket of the Xingtian Army again, and involve his master, but so far he has not shown any performance in this regard.

The reason why he was suspicious was that he was supposed to be good, and after he arrived here, he let him see Miss Fan Yutong, but after bringing him here, the people of the Criminal Heavenly Army told him that they had to ask their big boss before he could let him see their young lady, and it happened that their big boss was not in the village, so let him wait first, but wait and wait, seeing that it was about to be the Chinese New Year's Eve, but he had not yet seen their big boss of the Criminal Heavenly Army come back, and Fan Xi here was so anxious that his lips were burning.

Could it be that the young lady has been torn up by them? It shouldn't be! Their lord has fully agreed to the conditions offered by the Xingtian Army, it stands to reason that the young lady should be very important to the Xingtian Army, how can it be possible to tear up the ticket? If not, then why did the big boss of the Xingtian Army avoid him?

While he was still thinking nonsense, someone knocked on the door outside and said, "Steward Fan, our boss invites you to go over and talk!" ”

Fan Xi was in a mess when he heard this, ran to the door in three steps and two steps, opened the door, and a cold wind poured into the room, making him shiver coldly, he only found out that he didn't wear a cotton robe at this time, but he was so anxious that he couldn't care about getting the cotton robe at this time, and immediately said to the subordinates of the Xingtian Army who came to the door to spread the word: "Hurry up and take me to see your boss!" ”

Walking in the village, Fan Xi found that the village of Xingtianjun was much more lively, and many people had a joyful look on their faces, which was indeed a bit of a festive atmosphere, and he was not wearing a cotton robe, but he was a little shivering when he walked on the road, so he followed the person who led the way, and trotted all the way to the building in the center of the village, which was originally a big temple.

With the spread of the people leading the way, someone shouted in the house: "Please come in, Steward Fan!" ”

Fan Xi felt that this voice was familiar, and immediately thought of the source of this voice, so he immediately lifted the curtain and walked into the house, bowed to the tall young man in the room and said, "Fan Xi see the big boss!" ”

Xiao Tianjian glanced at this Steward Fan, and said with a smile on his face: "Steward Fan, you and I are old acquaintances, if you don't fight, you can't make a deal!" Come on, take a seat! Look at the tea! ”

After Fan Xi sat down, he looked at Xiao Tianjian with anxiety in his heart, and immediately asked Xiao Tianjian: "Big boss, it's been almost three days since the villain came here, when can I meet our young lady?" ”

"Steward Fan, don't worry, Miss Fan is fine, don't worry! Although he is kidnapped, he is not a greedy and murderous person, and at least he still has faith! Please don't be impatient, Steward Fan, after we talk for a while, I will order someone to take you to meet your Miss Fan! Since you've been waiting for so many days, why do you care about this moment? Xiao Tianjian said to Fan Xi unhurriedly.

Fan Xi had no choice but to sit down, the room was very warm, so that the chill he had just now was dispelled a lot, and gradually his mood stabilized, to say that Fan Xi has followed Fan Yaoshan all the winds and waves over the years, and it is not the first time to enter and exit the bandits' camp like this, so Fan Xi did not show a panicked demeanor, and asked Xiao Tianjian: "Master Xiao, the conditions put forward by your army to our master, our master said, we can agree, what you need, just make a list, Whether it is salt, iron, or cloth, we can prepare it for the general, and we just hope that after the general is satisfied, we will release it back to our family as soon as possible! If the general needs money, then our lord also said that he is willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver, and it is guaranteed to be full of official silver! I just hope that the general can put back our young lady! ”

This kidnapping for ransom, Xiao Tianjian has never heard of anyone paying 10,000 taels of silver to ransom people, and Fan Yaoshan offered such a condition, which shows how important Fan Yutong's status is in his mind.

"Didn't Steward Fan hear my subordinate brother clearly? I, Xiao, didn't plan to extort any ransom from your account, I just wanted to make some deals with your account! As for Miss Fan, she is just our guest, and now she is not a meat ticket, but a guarantor of the transaction between us, and there is no such thing as letting Miss go or not! I am talking about a fair deal, you supply me, I pay you, not demand your money! Don't make a mistake about Steward Fan! Xiao Tianjian said to Fan Xi with an innocent face, making it clear that he was going to be a scoundrel.

Fan Xi shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, good!" Even if it's a good deal! But why do you need a guarantor to buy and sell? What's more, our lord has already promised to make a private deal with your army, so the big boss should return our young lady to us! ”

"Haha! Steward Fan, where is this! To understand that now my Xingtianjun is still a thief in the eyes of the imperial court, and your Fan family is a merchant recognized by the imperial court, which is definitely different from ordinary trading, if there is no guarantor, as soon as Miss Fan goes back, Master Fan will turn his face and deny people, and if he refuses to do business with our Xingtianjun again, who will I talk to? Is it possible that I will go to Taiyuan Mansion to sue the official and sue you that the shopkeeper Fan is not trustworthy? Xiao Tianjian said to Fan Xi with a rogue smile.

Fan Xi sighed helplessly again: "Since this is the case, then according to the meaning of the big boss, when will you be able to put back our young lady?" You must know the news that our young lady was tied up this time, our Fan family has always pressed it, and did not let the news go out, it is okay in a short time, if it is a long time, the paper can't contain the fire, and if the news leaks, how can our young lady get married! ”

Xiao Tianjian also knows that this kind of thing is true, in the current world, if a girl's family is tied up by a thief, even if she returns home, but once people know, it will be difficult to marry a good family, and the stain on this title can no longer be washed away, you must know that this era is also one of the times when men and women have the strictest defense, women's chastity is a very serious matter in the eyes of men, Fan Yutong was tied up by him, and insiders will definitely think that Fan Yutong must have been defiled by their gang of thieves.

Once the news is revealed, then Fan Yutong's reputation will be so bad that it will be home, if Fan Yutong wants to marry again in the future, a good family doesn't have to think about it anymore, he can only find a broken household, and marry casually to pull him down, the Fan family must have secretly killed a lot of mouths in this matter, so as to seal this matter, it can be seen that this Fan Yaoshan is by no means a good master, and being able to suppress such news is not just a matter of whether he has money or not, he must have another force under his command that can help him do this kind of thing, otherwise, I am afraid that he can't suppress this kind of news by money alone.

Fan Xi's words, Xiao Tianjian came to a conclusion from it, that is, this Fan Yaoshan's background is probably not as simple as just a giant businessman on the surface, and he must also have a force in his hands that can be used by him, so it made Xiao Tianjian a little alert, so he suddenly asked Fan Xi: "Steward Fan, if I remember correctly, there were probably nearly two hundred people in your caravan at that time!" With so many tongues, with your Fan family, how did you suppress this news? Xiao is very curious about this! Can Steward Fan explain Xiao's doubts? ”

Fan Xileng paused, and his expression suddenly became a little nervous, but he immediately calmed down again and explained: "This is simple, our lord is rich and powerful, as long as he uses money to seal these people's mouths!" ”

"Huh! Steward Fan doesn't seem to be telling the truth! People in this world are unpredictable, if so many people find out this kind of news and can actually get money from the hands of the shopkeeper Fan, then wouldn't it be equivalent to giving people a handle? Wouldn't it be nice if someone threatened to release this news and wanted to extort money from you? Xiao Tianjian didn't believe Fan Xi's words.

Fan Xi's face suddenly changed slightly, and he looked a little nervous, but he immediately stabilized his emotions again, so he had to say with a cold face: "Xiao's housekeeper is also a little too wide!" This kind of thing is a private matter of our Fan family, and Master Xiao shouldn't have asked so clearly! ”

After Xiao Tianjian saw Fan Xi's face, he began to realize that what he was thinking was probably right, so this Fan Xi came this time, I'm afraid the purpose will not be very pure, the real character is here to talk about business with him, maybe he still has a hand behind his back, and a flash of inspiration in his mind suddenly sank his face suddenly, and suddenly shouted outside the door: "Iron head!" ”

"In!" The iron head standing outside the door answered the sound and walked into the house.

"You go and order Ling Feng to immediately lead the scout team, along their way back, give me a strict examination, and once you find someone who is unknown, you will immediately take it down for me! If there are many people, let Luo Li lead his troops to accompany him, and if there is resistance, give me a solution on the spot!

In addition, I will send Steward Fan back to rest, and I will also take down the people brought by Steward Fan, interrogate them strictly, and find out their identities for me! I want to see if Shopkeeper Fan has the sincerity to talk to us about this business! Steward Fan, that's all for today! We'll talk about the rest tomorrow! Drop-off! After Xiao Tianjian heard Fan Xi's words, he turned his face without saying a word.

Fan Xi was at a loss when Xiao Tianjian turned his face so quickly, he couldn't understand how he said wrong, and he actually let Xiao Tianjian find a flaw and give such an order.

Tietou answered loudly, and immediately walked over and made a gesture to Fan Xi and said, "Steward Fan, please!" ”

Fan Xi still wanted to speak, but Xiao Tianjian flicked his sleeves and got up and walked out of the house first, no longer talking nonsense to Fan Xi.
