Chapter 217: One Hundred Thousand Ransom

Embarrassing, especially embarrassing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Feeling the gaze of everyone, Chen Fang's heart was full of embarrassment, and the corner of his eye swept to Lei Dazhuang, the initiator of such an embarrassing situation.

"Riri, Uncle Rini, where is there so much nonsense if you are asked to arrest you, believe it or not, believe ......it or not" Chen Fang was annoyed and ashamed, and scolded while beating: "Believe it or not, Master Ben peeled your skin, dismantled your bones, and fried your flesh again?" ”

Lei Dazhuang's fear of Chen Fang has been formed for a long time, and when he saw Chen Fang getting angry, he who had always been tough and strong suddenly turned into a hamster with a shrunken head, although he was not angry, but he still jumped to carry out Chen Fang's order.

It's just that in this way, everyone's eyes are even more unkind when they look at Chen Fang.

Sister Ni's family photo, blame me?

He reluctantly touched the tip of his nose, which was already reflective.

Seeing the two soldiers struggling to be taken down, Chen Fang hurriedly summoned the other idle officials and asked them to inform the rich businessmen one by one not to expose the kidnapping case.

After dealing with Li Shimin's arrangement, Chen Fang and Tang Yun returned to the yamen together, ready to sort out the case, but before they could figure out any clues, except for Cao Guohua, who only sent one subordinate, several other wealthy businessmen returned to the yamen together with the officials who went to their house together.

"Qin Yuanwai, why are you here?"

The attitude of the Qin and Han Dynasty was the best among the group, and the identity was also the highest, so Tang Yun asked him for the first time.

After listening to Tang Yun's question, Qin Hanchao waved his hand and said, "When I went home, I received a blackmail letter from my subordinates. ”

Ransom books?

Tang Yun and Chen Fang glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of discoloration in each other's eyes.

It's too fast.

"Quick, hand me the letter." Tang Yun said.

"Yes, sir." After that, Qin Hanchao stretched out his hand into a pair of sleeves and took out an envelope tremblingly, and several other members, together with the subordinate of the Cao family, also took out the envelope hidden on his body, handed it to Wang Tianlong, and handed it to Tang Yun.

Tang Yun opened the letter and saw that his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly handed the letter in his hand to Chen Fang's hand, while he continued to open the second blackmail letter.

The two read the five ransom letters one by one, and for a while there was nothing to say.

The five ransom letters are very concise, except that the recipients on each envelope are different, and the contents of the letters are exactly the same.

If you want the young master's peace, prepare 100,000 taels of silver, and a certain will come to take it.

The ransom of 100,000 taels may be a heavy burden for ordinary families, but it is not a lion's mouth for these five wealthy businessmen, it seems that these people still have a certain understanding of these five families.

Chen Fang touched his nose and thought of this question first.

But at the moment, everyone didn't give him time to continue thinking.

Just as he was thinking silently, Tang Yun asked. "So what are your plans? Will it continue to be handed over to the Officer? ”

Qin Hanchao waved his hand below and bowed down and said: "My lord, although the little old man has accumulated a little wealth over the years, but it is also extremely limited, today the bandits asked us for 100,000 taels of silver, and the little old man thought about it before and after, and decided to give it for the sake of his grandson, but in this case, I am afraid that the money promised to donate to the victims is gone." ”

"Yes, my lord, we are just a small rich family, I'm afraid we won't be able to donate money." The rest of the staff echoed.

As soon as this remark came out, Chen Fang and Tang Yun both understood the meaning of several outsiders - they were all planning to spend money to buy peace.

It's just that......

"Outside of Qin Yuan, aren't you afraid that if they take the money, not only will they let them go, but they will also tear up the ticket?" Chen Fang asked.

There are many kidnapping cases in Britain and the United States, and Chen Fang has also experienced a lot, and taking money to tear up tickets is basically a common method for all kidnappers.

However, several outsiders did not realize his good intentions, and after hearing him say this, they all glared at him angrily.

"What do you mean, boy, that you are looking forward to the death of our son? Good for you, a dog-headed master with bad intentions. ”

"Hmph, isn't he still thinking about our donations?"

“……”

All kinds of doubts came, which made Chen Anxin feel a little angry, but he didn't attack a few members because of this, after all, they were the victims, and it was understandable to worry about his children.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can understand the feelings of all of you, but do you think we can really trust those bandits?" Chen Fang said.

"This ......" Several members were hit by Chen Fang's words and were speechless for a while.

At this time, Qin Hanchao suddenly said: "My lord, it's not that we don't want to believe the yamen, it's just that as the adults and Master Chen said before, that gang of bandits was prepared in advance, so for the safety of our children, we have to pay this money." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it successfully attracted the approval of several outsiders, and seeing that several outsiders had already made up their minds in their hearts, Chen Fang was not good at embarrassing them anymore, but he still put forward a compromise opinion.

"Now that you've made up your minds, I can't say anything more. I don't think so. Once the kidnappers send a letter to receive the silver taels, please send someone to the Yamen branch first, and let the yamen send someone to escort the ransom over for you, so that you can take the opportunity to find your sons, and the two of you also hope that you will not be hurt by the extra harm, do you think so? ”

"This ......"

After listening to Chen Fang's opinion, several outsiders discussed with each other, and they all agreed to Chen Fang's proposal, after all, their money was not picked up for nothing, and 100,000 silver was not a small amount, so it would be best to save it.

Everyone initially discussed the preparation of the ransom, and Chen Fang also conveyed some postmodern experience to them, and after coming up with a common plan, several members of the staff submitted their farewells and left one after another, except for the subordinate of the Cao family.

"You, what's the matter?" Chen Fang glanced at him and asked, he was very curious about whether Cao Guohua did not come in person like everyone else, but sent a subordinate.

Seeing Chen Fang's words to ask him, the subordinate squinted his eyes and swept Chen Fang, then turned his gaze to Tang Yun, and said with a lofty posture: "Lord Tang, our master said that he will not give the ransom, I hope that the yamen can get our young master back in time, and don't let him suffer any losses, otherwise he will ......"

The Cao family's maternal relatives are the salt supervisors in Zhejiang, although the official position is not big, but because he is in an important position, dealing with him, there are not a few people who want to pat him on the back, and the Cao family has benefited a lot, few people in Guangliang will provoke the Cao family, which has also developed Cao Guohua's violent side, but Chen Fang did not expect that the servants of the Cao family would be as arrogant as his head Cao Guohua, even if he was facing people in the government, he did not mean to be respectful.

Hmph, the thing resembles the owner's shape, and the dog follows the master's nature. There is a kind of master and what kind of servant. Chen Fang thought a little annoyed, but at the moment when he was concerned about the case, he didn't want to be too concerned with an uninformed subordinate, of course, it was impossible to make him polite.

Without arching his hand, Chen Fang glanced at the man coldly from the corner of his eyes, and said: "Whether to give money or not is your Cao family's business, as for saving people, our yamen must do our best." ”

Chen Fang is not a fool, naturally he will not pat his chest and say it to death, after all, no one can expect the kidnapper's thoughts, in case the other party's aunt comes or something, he is suddenly in a bad mood, and stabs one to death casually, if the unfortunate one is the son of their Cao family, then Chen Fang will cry without ground.

Obviously, the servant didn't understand the underlying meaning of Chen Fang's words, and when he saw that he had Chen Fang's promise, he didn't even say a word, twisted his feet, turned around and walked out, but he accidentally tripped over Chen Fang's feet, and as a result, a hungry dog pooped on the ground gorgeously and fell directly to the ground.

After screaming in pain, the servant jumped up suddenly, turned around and glared at Chen Fang, and said with red eyes: "You dare to trip me?" ”

"Right?" Chen Fang didn't raise his eyebrows, and said, "Why don't I dare to trip you?" Even if you do it, you're not afraid. ”

"You ......"

"You, you horse." Chen Fang still didn't raise his eyes to look at him, but said to himself: "If I want to go back quickly, tell your master the news that the other four families are ready to give money, otherwise when the time comes, it will be difficult to do it if there is one of the four." ”

Although this person's attitude was not good, he was not really a fool, and he immediately understood Chen Fang's reminder.

If the four families choose to pay the ransom, only their Cao family will not pay the money, it will inevitably anger the kidnappers, and then Cao Gongzi will probably ......

Thinking that his young master was cut off by a "click" knife, the servant couldn't help but shudder, and he didn't care about finding Chen Fang to settle accounts, like a fire, he took a big step and ran away.

The yamen quieted down again, but the hearts of Chen Fang and the others were difficult to calm down.

"Brother Chen, where do you think we should start?" Tang Yun couldn't come up with an idea by herself, so she had to push the problem onto Chen Fang's head again.

But right now, Chen Fang has no clue at all, where do you know where to start?

"Otherwise, let's start with the place where the sons disappeared and see if we can find any clues." Chen Fang tentatively proposed, but he didn't have any bottom in his heart, the other party's plan was so thorough, he couldn't find any clues.

But Tang Yun can't manage so much, whether he can find clues and not to mention, at least he has to have a place to start first, so as not to look so helpless.

According to Chen Fang's investigation method of the last investigation of Miss Li's disappearance, Tang Yun ordered Lei Dazhuang and Wang Tianlong to search back and forth along the Hengqiao to see if they could find witnesses or other clues, as for her and Chen Fang.

"Brother Chen, what about us? Where do we go to investigate, granary? After sending Lei Dazhuang and Wang Tianlong out, Tang Yun looked at Chen Fang sideways and asked.

Chen Fang was speechless, glanced at Tang Yun sideways, and was about to say a few words to her, but just as he was about to open his mouth, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

Yes, granary!

Regarding the granary fire, Chen Anxin always felt that something was wrong, and when he heard Tang Yun mention it again, Chen Fang suddenly thought of something wrong.

"Let's go, go to prison first."

Anyway, no matter how surprised Tang Yun was, he ran ahead first, Tang Yun was already surprised by this, and Nunu also trotted to follow.

There are only two people involved in this case in the prison, and that is the guard of the granary, and Chen Fang went to them this time to reconfirm some things.

At this time, the two innocent guards in the prison were sitting in a corner of the prison, sighing for a long time.

"Brother Niu, did you say that we can't go out this time?" The younger guard asked, a little scared.

The guard surnamed Niu who was asked sighed and said, "I don't know, if the granary is in normal times, it may not be a big deal, but now that it is a disaster, Lord Tang has already ordered to give food and porridge for several days, and the burning of the granary will inevitably affect disaster relief, and we are afraid that it will ......."

The cow guard shook his head, not finishing, but all the meaning was in the shaking of the head.

"But Brother Niu, this matter has nothing to do with us at all, we didn't put the fire, and we weren't lazy, we were just knocked unconscious, so we still suffered a work injury?" The little guard was unconvinced.

The cow guard smiled bitterly, "Work injury? You think it's beautiful, and you don't look at where we're now, it's like it's for people who have been injured at work? I'm afraid that we have become scapegoats, and now we hope that Lord Tang will be merciful and give a lighter sentence. ”

"No, it won't, right?" The little guard immediately panicked, "Brother Niu, no, I can't go to jail, my family just told me about a family affair, and I will get married next month, this, if I go to prison, then I, then I, woo, blame that stinky master, originally Lord Tang didn't plan to arrest us, it was his idea, looking at his thief eyebrows, he must have wanted us to carry the black pot for them, woo woo......"

The little guard was so anxious that he couldn't speak, two lines of tears came out, looking at the little guard like this, the cow guard sighed, no longer spoke, but stared straight at the eyes outside the window, but it seemed to have a thousand words.

It's just that he doesn't say it, he doesn't know what he's thinking, maybe he's thinking about his wife and children at home, maybe it's the unknown verdict that he's thinking about the future, maybe, too many maybes, only he knows.

(I made a mistake for two days in a row, I don't know how to do it, I have to code words secretly every day, I'm really tired, but the most tired thing is that I made a mistake, and no one came to scold me, which is too hurtful.) )
