Chapter XVIII: Ransom
PS; Thanks for forgetting ● to get a reward, thank you
Cao Shuang pulled down the face towel on his face, and the harmless smile on his face seemed to be like a Shura crawling out of hell in the eyes of Han Po, which made people tremble. "What's the matter, it's only been a few days, and you don't recognize Ben Gongzi." Cao Shuang gently patted Han Po's face, and Qi Fei and the others turned around consciously. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous, and Han Po grabbed the quilt and blocked it in front of her, "What do you want to do?" Cao Shuang was speechless, even if I have that hobby, my current body is not good, "What are you doing when you turn around, why don't you help her and bring her back." ”
As soon as the rooster sang the world, the teeth of the people of Xuchang were cleaned, and some people who were doing serious business also hid, and more than 70 people disappeared overnight, making other people's teeth panic. For a long time, it was very difficult to find people to hire servants in Xuchang City. After a night of action by bad people, a total of more than 70 people were arrested in Xuchang City. The backyard of the bad man's house is full of people, not counting the abducted people who got it from Renyazi.
"I didn't expect to catch so much, I'm sad to death." Cao Shuang rubbed his swollen temples and muttered to himself. There were seventy-five people, and there were enough people who were trafficked to two hundred. If it were locked up, the bad people would not have such a big prison, and the food cost of nearly 300 people a day would be an astronomical amount for the newly established bad people.
Cao Shuang's fingers kept pointing on the table, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "Li Cong, you go and tell Qi Fei and ask him to bring the two hundred people to the courtyard for me to gather." ”
Soon two hundred people were gathered in the courtyard, and there were many children among the two hundred people, Cao Shuang saw fear in their eyes, and they all looked carefully at the bad people around them. Cao Shuang cleared his throat and pointed at Qi Fei as he spoke, "I'll report your hometown to him later, and my son will send you home." Many people were surprised and delighted, and the children in front of them asked cautiously in a small voice, "Is this true?" Really want to send us home? Cao Shuang nodded, seeing that everyone still had doubts, Qi Fei shouted with his throat in his voice, "This is the grandson of the prime minister of the dynasty, Cao Shuang's son, can he lie to you with his identity as Cao Gongzi?" Hearing the news, someone happily said thank you to Cao Shuang. Several relatively older women were glazed over, indifferent to Cao Shuang's words, in this troubled world where people are not as good as dogs, they have been sold to many people several times, they have lost hope in life, those children with parents can still return to their parents, where should they go.
"You are resting in the house now, and we will count your hometown later, and we will arrange for someone to send you home." After Cao Shuang said this, he took Li Cong and walked to the backyard. Originally, Cao Shuang only arranged three houses in the backyard as temporary prisons, but he didn't expect that there were too many people who were caught, and the entire backyard was full. As soon as the backyard door opened, several people rushed to Cao Shuang's side and shouted wronged, and a few people not far away snorted coldly, turned their heads and didn't look at Cao Shuang, and there were also people like Han Po, who didn't say a word and trembled. "In the past few years, you have made a lot of money in the population business, right?" Cao Shuang asked casually, many people's hearts were alive, they had to deal with all kinds of people, and as soon as Cao Shuang opened his mouth, they knew that there was a way to settle this matter with money. It's not a matter of what can be settled with money, not to mention that now the little life is still in the hands of others.
"You are abducting and selling other people's children by unscrupulous means, and this has a very bad impact. My son can let you live, but ....... Cao Shuang stopped talking halfway through the sentence, and just looked at everyone.
"We have money, but why should we trust you?" A gorgeously dressed middle-aged man asked, and many people echoed. This person is one of the biggest people in Xuchang, and I heard that the backstage is very hard and the background is very deep.
Cao Shuang's eyelids are not raised, what is dragged, no matter how hard it is, Cao Cao can be hard. "With my surname Cao, there is this." Cao Shuang pointed at himself, and then took out a ring-headed knife from the waist of the bad man behind him and shook it.
The few people standing at the front took a few steps back, and Cao Shuang slammed the ring knife into the crack of the stone slab, "Is it okay with these?" When Cao Shuang and Han Po fought on the street that day, many people learned about Cao Shuang's origin from their ears and eyes. One of them asked, "How much does it cost?" ”
"500,000 yuan per person, as long as you pay this fine, leave a contract to promise that you will not use improper means to abduct and sell human beings in the future, and cooperate with the rectification of the imperial court after you go out, you can still do your population business in the future." Cao Shuang stretched out five fingers and waved his hand, "Someone will send cloth and pens in a while, you can write a letter to your home, or you can write a guarantee contract and we will go to your house to pick it up." What to do, you have to think about it yourself, and I dare not guarantee your personal safety after today. After speaking, Cao Shuang walked out of the backyard. 500,000 yuan is a drop in the bucket for a few people who have done relatively large business with a few people; But for some smaller businesses, 500,000 yuan is more.
Cao Shuang instructed Qi Fei to let the rest of the people take turns on duty, and then he found a place to sleep, he didn't sleep all night, for Cao Shuang's body at this time, it was already good to be able to hold on until now. Cao Shuang sent someone to report all the situation to Cao Cao and Jia Xu, and sent someone to the private school to take leave and fell asleep.
After listening to everything, Cao Cao nodded with great satisfaction, "Go back and tell Cao Shuang that the money to send those people home will be fined, and there is no extra money here." If you want to come up with it, you can do what he says. ”、
Later, when Cao Cao was in the last dynasty, he reported the decree on the establishment of the Renyazi Chamber of Commerce and the promulgation of the law on the management of Renyazi to Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xie listened to Cao Cao's performance, there was no expression on his face, but his hands in his sleeves were clenched tightly. After Cao Cao finished playing, Xun Yu and other important ministers of the Cao family all came out to second. Regarding this kind of result, Liu Xie had already expected it and nodded, "Since this is the case, then this matter will be left to Cao Aiqing." Cao Cao stood at the head of the group of ministers and stroked his beard mixed with white beard, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Some of the people who were going to participate in Cao Shuang closed their mouths at this time, and all looked at their noses, noses and mouths, and mouths and hearts.
Cao Cao's performance is just a formality, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, at this time, the Son of Heaven of the Han family is far from being as beautiful as Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu, the Emperor of Guangwu, and is just a puppet in the hands of Cao Cao.
