2-28 Kidnapping

Addison's whole body froze, what is the concept of 100,000 taels of silver? The old lady's illness can be cured, the ancestral property that was pawned out can be redeemed, the loan shark is not afraid of even if the interest rate is high, and the neighbors who are kind enough to borrow clothes and registration fees can also repay it. What's more: your ideals can be realized, and with sufficient funds, many of the novelties in your ideas will become a reality.

"Did I hear me right? A hundred thousand taels of silver, isn't it ten taels? Addison couldn't believe his ears, even if he sold the technology to the wealthy Ministry of Industry, it would only be five thousand taels. His whole body was immediately petrified, and his mind went blank.

"That's right, it's 100,000 taels, but I also have conditions, in the future, you will give me the patent rights of any of your inventions, that is, you will work for me from today onwards, of course, in addition to the 100,000 taels of buyout fee, I will pay you an additional salary, 1,000 taels per month, are you willing?" God gave this precious talent, of course Liu Ziguang can't let it go, he must hold it in his hands, and the conditions he offered are also generous that no one can refuse, and he is not afraid that Addison will not agree.

Addison felt his heart lifted out of the ice cellar and thrown into the furnace, was it all true? 100,000 taels of silver, I really hear it, and 1,000 taels per month in the future! It's more profitable than the pharmacy in the alley! Biting your finger hurts. Look at the person in front of you, there is a shadow, this is not a dream! Addison's brain was blocked for a while, and he didn't know what to say, only tears flowed down his face.

Liu Ziguang took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels and ten taels of silver and stuffed it into Addison's hand, "That's all I have on me, you go home first to see your mother, pay off the debt, and I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow, by the way, where do you live?" ”

The silver ticket in the hand paper is tough, the texture is clear, it is the genuine Anhui Rishengchang silver ticket, the spindle of ten taels is heavy, and it is full of fine filament library flat silver. Finally, he couldn't control his emotions, his shoulders shook violently, and he knelt in front of Liu Ziguang: "Engong!" Your great kindness and great virtue, Di Sheng will not be repaid for his death, and he will definitely be a cow and a horse for Engong in the future....repay..."The voice was choked, and he couldn't go on.

"Alright, alright. As long as you are willing to work for me, I will know that you are a genius in the world by looking at your inventions, and I hope you can look at this meager treatment. Liu Ziguang patted Addison's shoulder and comforted him.

It took a while for Addison to calm down and said, "Xiao Ke's family lives in Xiaosigu Lane outside Jubaomen, and tomorrow Xiao Ke will be at home waiting for Engong's communication, and he will be on call." ”

"I remember, you take this glass lamp first and put it at home as a souvenir. Hurry back and go back, the old lady at home is still thinking about it. "The matter is done, and Liu Ziguang is ready to go back to watch the game.

"It's okay, you can get home by walking slowly for an hour, Engong, don't let that little one go." Addison kowtowed respectfully three times, not daring to leave first, and only walked after seeing Liu Ziguang go.

Liu Ziguang stretched out his hand to help him, but he still bowed to him three times. Then he turned around and left, walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Xiao Ai, did you hatch eggs when you were a child?" Without waiting for him to answer, he smiled and left. Leaving a confused Addison there in a daze.

The competition has ended, and the judges read out the names of the top three: "Champion---- Ministry of Internal Affairs. Wang Liuge! Bangyan------ Jinyiwei. Huang Tianba! Tanhua ----- days long. Du Shaoqing! ”

The applause was thunderous, and the cheers were everywhere, "I'm bah! Liu Ziguang spat fiercely, this is also a good boy competition? A eunuch who didn't have a little cock became the champion, and the second place was actually Haizhou Huang Zhen, who couldn't write or martial arts, and he was a bragging guy; I haven't heard of the third place, and I don't know where it came from. The aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty people really dare not compliment.

Back on the boat, the eldest lady was gone, but the dong flute was thrown on the board, Liu Ziguang grabbed the frightened boatman and asked sharply: "What about the people!" ”

The boatman shuddered and took out a piece of paper and said, "I was dragged on a big boat by two men and left, and they left this." ”

"What kind of people? What kind of ship? Where did it go? How long has it been gone? Liu Ziguang asked in a loud voice, while observing the note in his hand, there was only one address written on it: Beixin Street in Shicheng Gate, a pair of red lanterns at the door. The boatman said tremblingly: "The little one didn't see it clearly, but he thought it was two fast hands, and he clicked on the small boat and lifted the young lady's voice away, and then the little one had this paper in his hand." The boats were crowded with people who couldn't see in what direction they were going, and they came over as soon as you left. ”

came prepared, and deliberately chose to start when he was not there, who did it?

The biggest object of suspicion is the people in the Song Kingdom, they want to come to the black and eat the black, since everyone can't see the light, then it's darker than anyone! They left the address, which means that there is still room for negotiation, and now they can only follow this clue to follow.

found the servants on the shore, and ordered Ding Libin to go back and summon Duncan and them to Beixin Street to bring short soldiers to Beixin Street to gather, and then Liu Ziguang took the first step, and rushed to the nearest city gate in a hurry.

After the end of the Good Boy Competition, there was a continuous performance of the troupe all night, so the audience did not return all night, and it was impossible to go home if they wanted to enter the city, and the thirteen gates of the capital would be locked at night.

When Liu Ziguang's horse arrived at the gate of Shicheng, sure enough, the city gate was closed, he turned over and dismounted, habitually preparing to find a section of the city wall that was unguarded and climbed in.

He swaggered over and shouted to the defenders at the top of the city, "Open the gates quickly!" Dongchang urgent official business! ”

There is also a small gate on the city gate, which is specially used for emergency entry and exit at night, such as the 800-mile expedited and other urgent documents, of course, the spies of the East Factory enjoy this privilege even more. A small officer respectfully inspected Liu Ziguang's Dongchang waist card, and then raised his hands above his head and returned it, "Slow down, adult." Liu Ziguang proudly put away his waist card and asked, "No one entered the city just now?" Among them were female dependents. ”

The little officer hurriedly replied: "Back to my lord, yes, it is the carriage of the Jinyi Guard, and I don't know if there are any female dependents, but after the city gate is closed, there will be such a group of people entering the city." ”

"Very good, thanks!" Liu Ziguang grabbed the horse's belly and walked away.

"This must be the new Ding of Dongchang, it's good that the old Dongchang fan doesn't scold, how can you say thank you." The petty officer, who is very experienced, said to several officers and soldiers around him.

Running all the way along the street, it didn't take long to reach Beixin Street, Liu Ziguang tied the horse to the tree on the side of the road, stood in the corner and observed the situation, Ding Libin definitely couldn't enter the city, there were no reinforcements, and time waited for no one, so he had to do it himself.

Beixin Street is mostly the houses of rich families, and now they are all closed at this time, here is not more prosperous than the Qinhuai River, they all fell asleep early, and there are no pedestrians on the street, only the husband knocks on the bangzi and passes by.

There was only one house on the street with a pair of red lanterns hanging in front of their homes, the gate was closed, the fence was high, and there was an air of murder in the silence. Maybe it's the secret stronghold of the Song Dynasty, or maybe it's really Jinyiwei's house, whatever, no matter the Longtan Tiger's Den, he has to break into him today, I hope these people haven't done anything bad to Peng Jingrong, if she misses half a point, everyone present must take their lives to compensate.

The other party must be prepared, if you go over the wall to go in, you may encounter a mechanism or an ambush, it is better to enter in a bright light, this is also a kind of bluff, and those who dare to go to the meeting alone will have a back hand.

made up his mind, stepped forward, knocked on the door knocker, the peeling paint door "squeaked" and flashed a crack, and an old family member who described the withered eyes glanced at Liu Ziguang with dim eyes, didn't ask anything, took a step back, and made a gesture to invite in.

Entering the courtyard, the old family led the way in front with a wordless lantern, turned the shadow wall, passed the second gate, a big locust tree stood luxuriantly in the middle, the ground was paved with green bricks, and the weeds drilled out of the brick cracks unscrupulously, the yard planted a big locust tree, so strange taste, everyone knew that the mouth of a wood was the word "sleepy", not a good sign, Liu Ziguang's whole body was tense, his hand was pressed on the handle of the knife, ready to shoot at any time.

There was a light on in the main room, and a middle-aged man and Peng Jingrong were sitting there talking, looking like the juniors were listening to their uncle's teachings, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, not at all like they had been kidnapped.

There are eccentric, mute old families, big locust trees, old mansions, very rich in elements of chatting stories, Liu Ziguang is even more nervous, maybe there are hidden weapons everywhere, maybe there are some masters buried, maybe Peng Jingrong in the lobby is disguised and pretended, all this is possible. Although he doesn't have much experience in the rivers and lakes, the young people who have been watered by countless martial arts novels and film and television works are very clear about this set of tricks.

What to do? Only by responding to all changes with the same, being careful of falling nets from the sky and opening traps on the ground, Liu Ziguang walked to the front of the hall full of joy.

"General Liu arrived so soon, I'm still worried that you won't be able to enter the city gate, it seems that the old man is too worried." The middle-aged man got up and greeted him, he was wearing a five-bat scarf with a longevity pattern, a square scarf on his head, and five locks of long hair, which was extraordinary. Peng Jingrong also stood up to greet her, her face calm as usual.

Liu Ziguang first looked at Peng Jingrong carefully, it was he who was right, "What should I do with the entry of exchanging silver tickets for silver from the bank?" Liu Ziguang came to such a sentence without a head or a brain.

Bingxue's smart Peng Jingrong suddenly understood, and he used the original Liu's double-entry accounting method, which was only used in a small area, to test whether the eldest lady was pretended to be someone else or was controlled by drugs.

"Borrow cash, lend money." Peng Jingrong replied with a smile, this Liu Ziguang will also use his brain now, it is a good phenomenon, and he will praise him when he goes back.

After confirming that it was me, Liu Ziguang was relieved, he ignored the middle-aged man, walked to the hall with a big grin, moved a chair to the middle and sat down, to prevent being plotted by the organ, and then pulled the white rainbow knife in front of him, patted the scabbard and said: "I don't care who you are, now give you a quarter of an hour to persuade me not to kill you, okay, the timer begins." ”

The middle-aged man was very popular, and he didn't get angry, so he turned back and sat down at the Eight Immortals table next to the bar, and said: "The old man is a friend and not an enemy, and he rashly invited the two of them to save your lives and save you from the National Iron Works." ”

"Don't beat around the bush, just say it." Liu Ziguang impatiently tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair.

"The Queen Mother's most beloved four calligraphy and paintings and a few treasures were lost, today I summoned Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, and Yingtianfu Yamen's head and brain issued a decree, and the case was solved within three days, and the Queen Mother said, whoever makes her uncomfortable for a while will let her be uncomfortable for a lifetime, and the nine clans of that person will also be uncomfortable for a lifetime." The middle-aged man said slowly.

"Does it have anything to do with me?" Liu Ziguang continued to be hard-mouthed, this may be a trap designed by Lu Song Guo to lure him into handing over all the treasures.

"Of course not, Vice General Liu is law-abiding, how can he do the snitch's business?" The middle-aged man continued, "However, some people saw Vice General Liu dressed up like a three-flowered cat last night and went out to play, and it was not until the fifth watch that he came back, and it happened that there was a theft in the palace during the time when Vice General Liu came out. If this matter is known to others, I'm afraid it's not easy to justify itself, right? The middle-aged man was full of confidence, and he didn't care about what Liu Ziguang threatened for a quarter of an hour.

"At this time, the envoys of the Song Kingdom are probably studying the "Sketch of Rare Birds", I don't know if these younger generations have the ability to distinguish." The middle-aged man continued.

He knows such a secret thing, who is this person? Liu Ziguang suddenly had doubts in his heart, could it really be Jinyiwei? So why is there so much nonsense, is it some unknown power? Anyway, according to the experience of film and television works, the more you sell off like this, the more nonsense you talk about, and you usually have to ask for yourself.
