Chapter 242
Sheng Yuanyuan almost vomited blood, and stared at the slyly smiling man with a shocked face, what was his head made of? Could it be that even Chengjiang County has a clear picture of how many people there are, what their surnames are, what they do, and how many people are in the family?
Are he sure it's a bandit and not a spy?
But now that the world is unified, how can there be any spies available?
So did he have been a spy before? Now there is no place to use it, so I changed my career to become a mountain bandit?
The man looked at the girl in front of him from the surprise at the beginning, to the later wonder and suspicion, and then to the later sudden realization, the change was rapid and unobtrusive. She seems to have set a suitable career for him in her heart.
"Boss." The people around him wanted to say something, but the man raised his hand and interrupted it.
Sheng Yuanyuan also came back to his senses, his face was long gone, and he seemed to be very indifferent.
"Where did you get the news, a hundred years ago! Who told you that Chengjiang County is a merchant surnamed Chen? My family sells medicinal herbs, that is, the surname is Chen, otherwise you will send someone to inquire, my brother's name is Chen Fei, and I also have a cousin's brother named Zhao Guang, you just need to find these two people and ask if they know me and know my sister Chen Yunyan. See if I'm lying to you! ”
The man laughed, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be so excited, I didn't say I didn't believe you." But you don't have a token or anything like that, and they don't believe I'm tied you up. ”
Sheng Yuanyuan felt that he had a point, so he handed him the tied hand, "You untie my hand, and I'll get it for you." ”
The man untied the rope from her hand, and couldn't help frowning when he saw the scarlet marks on her white wrists. These rough and leafy people are also ruthless to a little girl.
Sheng Yuanyuan didn't care, how could she have been wandering the rivers and lakes for a few years. This small injury is nothing to her, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to be able to suffer some losses.
She rubbed her sore wrist twice, then took out a jade pendant from her arms and handed it to the man. "Oh, you just take this jade pendant to find someone, they will definitely take money to redeem me without hesitation when they see the jade pendant."
"Big brother, let's try it!" The brothers were eager to try.
The man took the warm mutton fat white jade pendant in his hand and looked at it for a long time before saying, "Okay, then we will wait for the good news." But how much do you think you're worth in their hearts? ”
"Priceless, of course! Are you going to sell your sister to a bandit because you are worried about money! ”
"Hey, how do you talk!"
"Shut up." The man's tone was very flat and scolded, obviously he didn't have any emotion, but Sheng Yuanyuan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. Sure enough, the people were quiet.
Sheng Yuanyuan coughed and said, "Don't worry, as long as I can be safe, they are willing to exchange all the silver." ”
"Yes." The man turned and walked back to his big tiger skin chair, his back to her, and his hand gently rubbed the warm and slightly cool jade. "Then you really have a good brother."
"Indeed." Sheng Yuanyuan said casually.
"Take her down, and when you are sure that there is indeed such a person in the city, take the money and send her back."
"Yes." Sheng Yuanyuan was taken away.
"Big brother, do you want to go to the city to inquire? I don't think she's lying, she's only so young, how can there be so many twists and turns? ”
The man sat down again, looked at Nayu, and said, "She's much smarter than you think. ”
Everyone sighed, and couldn't help blushing for a while, "Big brother, how can you compare us to a little girl." ”
The man snorted, put the jade pendant away, and continued to drink, "Go ahead." Pick up the drawing book for me. ”
…… Beauty Nest
"General, Dr. Chen said that there is something important to see you."
Yuan Suye was studying the art of war, and when he heard this, he put the book on the table and said, "What is the old man looking for me?" Invite him in. ”
Dr. Chen hurried in, almost tripping over the steps.
Yuan Suye smiled: "Doctor Chen, what are you doing in a hurry?" There is a thief in the house, or which bully has your daughter taken a fancy to. ”
Doctor Chen was speechless, "General, you won't be able to make jokes soon!" ”
Yuan Suye frowned, "What?" ”
Doctor Chen said: "General, half an hour ago, two big men went to the old decay medical hall to find someone. asked Lao Yu if he had a daughter named Chen Yunyan. ”
"Isn't your daughter's name Chen Xiao? The man was in the wrong place. ”
"At first, the old man thought they were looking for the wrong thing. But they also said that this Chen Yunyan also has an elder brother named Chen Fei, and his cousin Zhao Guang ......"
Yuan Suye suddenly stood up from his chair.
Few people know that Chen Fei and Zhao Guang are here, and not many people know the two deputy generals around Xia Houyu. So that man must be very true to them. But Chen Yunyan, he had never heard of this name.
"What other characteristics did the two men say?"
Doctor Chen took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yuan Suye, "They also gave the old man this jade pendant drawing." said that it was the best mutton fat white jade texture, and it was that Chen Yunyan girl's. ”
Yuan Suye took the drawing and looked at it, a little familiar, but he couldn't say it for a while. "Nothing else?"
Doctor Chen hesitated, pouted and said, "They said that Chen Yunyan was in their hands, and if they wanted someone, they were ready to give out three thousand taels of silver." ”
"Three thousand taels? Why don't they rob ...... His grandmother's, isn't this just a robbery? Yuan Suye gritted his teeth for a while and cursed in a low voice, "The kidnapping tickets are all tied to Uncle Ben's head." When Lao Tzu was the boss of the mountain, you didn't know where and the mud were! ”
Doctor Chen said: "General, the old man felt that this matter was not trivial, so he first responded to Chen Yunyan as the daughter of the old man. He promised them that they would raise the money in three days, and that they would pay the money in one hand and the others in the other. ”
Yuan Suye nodded, "I see." Thank you very much for this, Dr. Chen, and when we take care of the matter, we will come to thank you in person. ”
"Old decay is terrified! The old man only hopes that nothing will happen to the general's family. ”
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Yuan Suye sent Dr. Chen away first, and then went straight to the other courtyard to find Xiahou Yu.
Xiahou Yu was consulting ancient books to find out if something similar had happened before, so that he could prescribe the right medicine. Listening to the sound of footsteps, Yuan Suye rushed in from outside.
Consistently simple and brutal.
"What for?"
"This," he pressed the jade pendant's paper on the table in front of Xiahou Yu, "Do you know it?" ”
Xiahou Yu frowned, and his face sank, "This is the Sheng family's heirloom Xiangyun, which Yuanyuan has worn since childhood." Where's she? ”
Yuan Suye's face also darkened, "Round!" Sure enough, no wonder she said that Chen Bing and Zhao Guang were her brothers......"
"What's going on?"
