Chapter 504: Ransom
Xue Yi said it well, but there was always a bit of envy in her eyes when she looked at Qian Qianqian, which could make Xiao Mohan on the tip of her heart, which was the dream of all women in this Xiao country, Qian Qianqian had Xiao Mohan's complete heart, which was what countless women dreamed of.
Qian Qianqian didn't speak, just looked out the window silently, Xiao Mohan is really good, whether it is appearance or status, all are impeccable, but this too good thing will not last long, Xiao Mohan is fighting outside, it will definitely be nine deaths and one life.
The capital is so chaotic, Qian Qianqian's shop is also closed, now is not the time to do business, not to mention that business is not good, and it is a loss to fight, so it is good to close the door for a few days.
It's just that Qian Qianqian didn't expect that a group of thieves from nowhere would rob her shop at night, sweeping away the silver and the rest of the food, and that's it, they also kidnapped Tong Qian and a few guys, if Tong Qian couldn't get the money, he would die.
"Since they want money, then give it to them, you go to the treasury to get a sum of silver, according to their requirements, send it to them, and redeem Tong Qian and the others."
Qian Qianqian got the news, so she lightly ordered, this is not a big deal, although the thieves asked for a little more silver, but it is nothing to the general's mansion.
"But this matter is not that simple, they seem to know that the master behind the hot pot restaurant is you, so let you pay the ransom in person."
Xue Yi held the kidnapper's letter in her hand, her face was embarrassed, her eyebrows were frowning, and her expression was very solemn.
"How will they know about me? I've never been involved in anything in the store. ”
Qian Qianqian was a little puzzled.
"The slave maid is also a little puzzled, those people seem to have come prepared, deliberately forcing you to go out, since they do this, then you must not go over, I will discuss this matter with Yuan Ying to see what to do."
Xue Yi thought in her heart, although she coincided with Qian Qianqian's thoughts, Qian Qianqian felt that since those people were coming for her, she might not be able to show up.
"You go to negotiate with the kidnappers first, it is best to rescue Tong Qian and a few people, if not, I will personally pay the ransom, remember, no matter what, you must ensure the safety of Tong Qian and a few people, and no one must die."
Qian Qianqian slowly raised her eyes and carefully advised, Tong Qian and the others were originally affected by her, so they must try their best to save their lives.
"The slave understands." Xue Yi nodded, and as soon as the words fell, she turned around and retreated.
But for several days, Xue Yi and Yuan Ying did not rescue Tong Qian, that gang of thieves was very difficult, as long as Qian Qianqian did not appear, they would not let go, Yuan Ying wanted to steal people several times, but every time he was almost discovered.
Now that things have come to this point, the purpose of the gang of bandits is obvious, Xue Yi can't let Qian Qianqian go into danger, so after thinking about it, she decided to give up Tong Qian and a few people.
"How's it going? Did those bandits agree to let Tong Qian go? ”
Qian Qianqian saw that Xue Yi hadn't come to report for several days, and when she saw Xue Yi, she couldn't help but ask.
"There has been progress on Yuanying's side, it is estimated that it will not be long before Tong Qian and a few people can be rescued, don't those people just want money? As long as you give enough money, you are not afraid that they will not let you go. ”
Xue Yi put down the snack in her hand, with a smile on her face, and said easily.
Qian Qianqian'er lowered her eyes, and her long and thick eyelashes blocked the emotions under her eyes, so she was relieved.
At night, Xue Yi waited for her to sleep, extinguished a few candles, and left only the one on the table.
Qian Qianqian was drowsy, and suddenly there was a noise outside the wooden window, she was immediately startled, and a cold arrow passed through the wooden window and stuck straight on the wooden post.
She immediately rolled over and got out of bed, and took the arrow, which had a bag on it, which she slowly opened, and poured out the contents, and looked at it fixedly, and her heart trembled, and she immediately let go.
Inside is a bloody finger, the blood on the top has not completely dried, it seems that it was just cut off, this midnight, receiving this kind of thing, it is really unlucky and mad.
Qian Qianqian didn't rub in, and immediately went to call Xue Yi, Xue Yi cleaned up her fingers on the ground, and ordered the guards in the house to search carefully, but they didn't find a suspicious figure.
"What the hell is going on? Whose finger does this amputated finger belong to? ”
Qian Qianqian always felt that something was not quite right, these days, it was the first time someone sent her this kind of thing, the Ye family had fallen, and the Li family's whereabouts were unknown, I don't know who had the courage and leisure.
"This slave doesn't know either, there are many people outside who are staring at the General's Mansion now, probably someone is deliberately retaliating, the slave and maid will let Yuanying strictly guard the upper and lower levels of the mansion, and will never let this happen again."
Xue Yi's face was a little ugly, although she said so, she seemed to be thinking about something else in her heart, Qian Qianqian looked at her expression, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"I don't think someone is deliberately retaliating, it's the gang of bandits who deliberately scare me in order to urge me."
Qian Qianqian's tone was full of unspeakable temptation, there had been no news from Tong Qian's side for so long, she didn't care about it at first, but now it seems that this matter should be unusual.
"How is that possible?"
Xue Yi's gaze was a little evasive, and she didn't seem to believe it.
"How could it not be? Are you hiding something from me? ”
Qian Qianqian sensed something, if there was nothing else to dodge, Xue Yi would not have been able to be so supportive, let alone dodge like this.
"No, the slave will deal with this matter, you are frightened today, it is better to rest as soon as possible, this wooden window is broken, the slave will call someone to repair it tomorrow."
Xue Yi tore the corners of her mouth, smiled very ugly, and wanted to help Qian Qianqian to go to bed to rest, but was quietly pushed away by Qian Qianqian.
"You can't fool me, let's just say it, if you insist on not saying it, I'll check it myself."
Qian Qianqian's eyes are full of stubbornness, she is not so easy to deal with, and she is not a person who can willingly pretend to be stupid, and this matter is obviously wrong, so she must ask clearly.
"Okay, I said, in fact, I've been hiding it from you, the bandits have to pay the ransom in person, otherwise they won't let you go, so I discussed with Yuan Ying, no one is as important as you, so instead of letting you get into danger, it's better to ......"
Xue Yi was hesitant and never said what was going to happen later, but Qian Qianqian knew it.
"Why don't you give up on them?"
Qian Qianqian took over the conversation, Xue Yi didn't say that she knew it, in fact, she should have thought of this layer a long time ago, those thieves are not easy to deal with, and there are not so many smooth things in the world.
"Not bad." Xue Yi lowered her head, hesitated again and again, but still said it, since this matter could not be hidden, then she would not hide it from Qian Qianqian.
"I know, no wonder you've rarely been by my side these days, if it hadn't happened today, Tong Qian and they would have been kept in the dark when they died."
Qian Qianqian's face suddenly became ugly, although she knew that Xue Yi was also good for her, but she really couldn't accept this kind of approach.
"This matter is the slave maid's fault, and the slave maid is willing to accept the punishment."
Xue Yi knew Qian Qianqian's temper, and this matter could pass smoothly, if something went wrong, Qian Qianqian would definitely be angry.
"I don't want to punish you, but you have to remember that you can't give up anyone's life at any time, my life is important, Tong Qian's life is equally important, there is only one life, there is no distinction between high and low."
Qian Qianqian's mood eased a little, she knew that it was not a way to get angry at this time, since the matter had happened, then she had to find a way to solve it, so it was better not to make extraneous branches.
"The slave and maid understand, this matter is the slave and maid are not well considered, thank you for forgiving the slave and maid."
Xue Yi knelt on the ground, although Qian Qianqian didn't intend to punish her, she was not easy at all, she would rather Qian Qianqian punish her than risk herself.
"Since those people warned me so, then don't pay the ransom, Tong Qian and the others are afraid that they will die, you and Yuan Ying are ready to prepare, we will go tomorrow night."
Qian Qianqian made a quick decision and said very firmly, that group of people deliberately forced her out, who made her a person who values love and righteousness? She had no choice but to go.
"Miss Qian, do you want to think about it again, there must be a lot of danger waiting for you over there, if you go and want to get out, it will be difficult."
Xue Yi was very hesitant, Qian Qianqian's body finally recovered, if she went, she would inevitably be injured again, Fankong said that it was not easy for Qian Qianqian to save this life.
"There's nothing to think about, I have to go, you go and prepare."
Qian Qianqian did not hesitate at all, she said categorically, there was no room for negotiation in this matter, Xue Yi had no choice but to do it.
At the moment, I don't know what happened to Tong Qian and the others, and I don't know whose finger it was, Qian Qianqian's heart was messy, and she didn't have a clue.
On the night of the second day, Xue Yi and Yuan Ying were ready, Qian Qianqian also changed into a neat short shirt, and there were a lot of hidden weapons hidden on her body, all of which were given to her by Xiao Mohan in the past, she thought that she shouldn't use them, but she didn't expect them to be used in the end.
The thieves also came to the letter, and the place was chosen in a forest on the outskirts, this black light is blind, trading in the forest, if the other party plays some tricks, Qian Qianqian and a few people will be in danger.
Qian Qianqian sat in the carriage, her heart was always uneasy, holding a dagger in her hand, and a layer of cold sweat was oozing from her palms, but her face was still calm, and she couldn't show her timidity before she got to the place.
"Miss Qian, if something is wrong for a while, you will run for your life immediately, and I will break off with Yuanying and others."
Xue Yi accompanied Qian Qianqian and whispered, it seems that she doesn't have much confidence in this matter, but she didn't say it explicitly in front of Qian Qianqian.
"Hmm."
Qian Qianqian responded lightly, opened the curtain of the car on her side, looked out, and the carriage drove through the long street, becoming more and more remote.
They didn't bring much of their entourage, they were afraid of startling the snakes, if they were seen by the bandits, they were afraid that the hostages would be transferred, and tonight's transaction would be interrupted, Yuan Ying sent someone to investigate, those bandits were quite numerous, if they really fought, they would not have the upper hand, so they could only outwit them, not the enemy.
