Chapter 172: The Situation Is Urgent

"Huh?!" Zhilan and Huaxin were suddenly shocked.

"I'll show you something!" Zhilan got up suddenly, her voice trembling a little.

Song said: "The people on the gate just now have been taken down and sent to the young master, I just heard about it, so I hurried over to tell you......"

I don't know if it was because she got up too violently just now or if this incident was too shocking, Zhilan's heart suddenly jumped like a chaotic hoove, and her head was a little dizzy. Huaxin hugged her and sat back on the chair, and after a while, Zhilan said again: "No, this is not right. Old man, didn't they come back with someone from the dart game? How could it be so easy to be kidnapped? ”

Song also sat down and took a few breaths and said, "I don't know, now everyone doesn't know anything except that note." And it was not clear what it said in that article, it only said that it would raise money, but it did not say who it would give it to or where it would be given. ”

Zhilan thought for a while, and suddenly said to Huaxin anxiously: "Hurry up and go to the gate to watch!" Since this letter does not say anything, there will be instructions for the next letter! Hurry! ”

Huaxin was about to go, but was stopped by Zhilan and said: "Pay attention to see who is sending the letter, if you can follow him and see where he went and met someone, that would be the best!" But you have to be careful not to be discovered. Come back as soon as you feel bad, and don't be reckless! ”

"Yes." After Hua Xin finished speaking, he walked quickly to the front yard.

Zhilan saw that the Song family was still sitting here, so she said again: "Sister-in-law Song, go back first, let everyone not panic, and be on guard, so as not to let some people take advantage of the chaos to take things out." ”

"Okay, I'll go right away." Song also agreed again and again.

After they left, Zhilan was the only one left. She sat alone under the tree, and thought about it carefully. At the moment, there is no news from my father-in-law's side, and I can't guarantee that this is just a prank, which makes people make a false alarm. But who would make such a joke? Eighty percent of this is true. Just, who did this? Bandits? Or someone who has had a holiday with the Cham family? Is it purely for money, or is it for some other purpose? 100,000 taels of silver, the Zhan family is not unaffordable, I am afraid that someone has the intention to harm others, then it is not something that can be solved with silver alone.

The more Zhilan thought about it, the more she had a headache, and at the same time, she was more worried about the safety of the old man and Aunt Fang.

At this moment, the second letter had also been quietly placed at the gate of the Zhan family's money house.

"Shopkeeper! Letter! Letter! With a loud shout that changed his tone, a guy broke into the account room as if flying, interrupting the conversation between Zhan Shaofeng and the shopkeeper at once.

The shopkeeper glared at the guy fiercely and was about to reprimand, but saw him hand over another note. The shopkeeper took it and brushed his face white with only one glance, and hurriedly handed it to Zhan Shaofeng, and said in a trembling voice: "This, this, this...... One after the other is too fast...... How do they know you're in the bank? ”

After Zhan Shaofeng read the contents on the paper, his face became even more gloomy. I only heard him ask, "This was found at the door?" ”

The guy breathlessly said, "Yes...... The little one was about to go out and close the door, but found a stone on the doorstep, and it was this piece of paper that was pressed underneath. ”

"Did you see who put it?" Zhan Shaofeng asked again.

The guy shook his head and said, "There are people coming and going at this door, and the little one has been busy on the counter, and he really hasn't noticed it......"

Zhan Shaofeng paced around him with his hands behind his back, his eyes stared at him up and down, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly asked sharply, "I'm afraid this piece of paper was written by you?" ”

The guy was stunned with his mouth open at first, and when he reacted, he panicked, and hurriedly threw himself down and howled: "Wronged, young owner!" In addition to being able to recognize accounts, the small ones don't know a few words! ”

The shopkeeper also hurriedly said: "Yes, he will keep accounts, and his words are written crookedly." ”

Zhan Shaofeng sneered again and said, "If you can't write, can't you pass on messages for others?" You're a guy on the counter, and remembering the identity of your guests is your most basic skill! I'm telling you, you'd better figure out who the last person in the store was, otherwise, I'll let you carry this black pot for him! ”

The guy was already trembling with fright, where did he remember anything? Time was pressing, and Zhan Shaofeng couldn't stay here longer, so he glanced at the guy in disgust, put away the piece of paper again, and said to the shopkeeper as he walked out: "Give me a good look at him." Also, as I said before, I will immediately prepare 100,000 taels of silver and pack them in a box, waiting for me to pick them up at any time. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The shopkeeper nodded frequently. In an instant, their young owner was gone.

The shopkeeper took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and muttered to himself: "My God, what kind of evil is this......

When Zhan Shaofeng hurriedly returned to the mansion, Zhilan was eating with Guanfeng and the others. So Zhan Shaofeng dismissed everyone, and only he and Zhilan were left in the room.

"Do you have any new news for you?" Zhilan hurriedly asked.

"I've already sent someone to look for it, and I'll know if it's true or false tonight. But let's take a look at this first. Zhan Shaofeng said and took out those things one by one. Zhilan saw that it was a dart with two pieces of paper, and knew that the second letter had been delivered. When she opened it up, she immediately exclaimed, "What! Tell Feng'er to send them money?! ”

Zhan Shaofeng nodded with a stiff face, and said, "I suspect that there are thieves involved in this matter, if it is just a bandit on the road, how can you know that your brother is here?" And this dart, which I had seen on the door when I had just returned, was inserted directly into the crack in the wood, and it was very shallow, as if it had been thrown from a distance. It should have been inserted by someone with his hand, and this person's strength is average, and he doesn't know martial arts. ”

"Outside thieves are easy to block, but home thieves are difficult to prevent! If I had to get this man out, I would never spare him! Zhilan gritted her teeth and said. If it weren't for the fact that the note might still be useful, she would have liked to tear it into a thousand pieces.

"People who can't report to the official and can't use the dart bureau are designated to let Guanfeng send money...... I think these people are very wary of us, and they know our details very well. Zhan Shaofeng said.

At this time, Guanfeng suddenly pushed the door in and said, "No, they don't know. ”

"Feng'er?" Zhilan hurriedly put away the things on the table, and said, "Didn't you all go back?" Why are you still here? ”

"How can I stay out of such a big thing?" I saw Guan Feng walking up to Zhan Shaofeng with a firm expression and said, "Brother Feng, they must not know our details well enough. I dare say that if they picked me, it would be the decision they regretted the most! ”
