"Don't be afraid of Xiaoxue, they're just verbally scaring you, if they kill us, where will they get the money?" Xiaoxue heard that it made sense, and her heart eased a little.

On the other side of the picture, Zhong Yihan and Shen Zhuosi both received secret letters, and several people gathered at Xiaoyao Restaurant, and looked at the secret letter in their hands, but they didn't expect it to come from the same person.

"It's so hateful, the Son of Heaven dares to do such an extreme act at his feet, if I find him, I will definitely break him into pieces!"

Zhong Yihan's face looked calm, but the worry in his heart had already betrayed him.

"Eldest prince, why don't we report to the official?"

Zhong Yihan waved his hand and said calmly: "You can't report to the official, the letter says that their people are planted near the Xiaoyao Restaurant, if they know that we are not going to the poplar forest when we leave this place, but to report to the official, they will be in danger." ”

"It's so hateful, I still have to be led by their noses, when did I, Shen Zhuosi, suffer such a great shame, when I find them, I must break them into pieces, let them know that my surname is Shen!"

"Okay, if you have the kung fu to brag here, it's better to think about how to make up the 50,000 taels of silver, I can take out 30,000 taels as the son of the world, but this is already the limit, I still have to ask my father for a favor."

Shen Zhuosi patted his chest and said proudly: "Isn't it 50,000 taels?" These kidnappers have no pursuit at all, and 50,000 taels of silver is not as simple as a fart for me? It's just a pity that my old man can't talk about it, they are in charge of my income and expenses all day long, if I know that the 50,000 taels of silver are missing, I'm afraid it's a bit of a problem. ”

Zhong Yihan looked at him just now, and thought that he had a way, and it was useless to talk for a long time, Zhong Yihan was slightly disappointed, lowered his head and walked out of the room directly with the letter.

Shen Zhuosi saw that he was leaving, and immediately caught up with him and said, "What are you doing, but you don't want to report to the official." ”

"It's better to go back and scrape together money than to complain to you here."

After speaking, he walked straight down the restaurant, and sure enough, Zhong Yihan didn't leave for long, and two people dressed as ordinary people followed him, just afraid that they would report to the official.

And Chen Er of the Ant Wine Shop on the opposite side was at ease in the room, looking at Xiao Er on the side and saying, "Everything has been done?" ”

Xiao Er nodded and smiled: "Everything has been done, 50,000 taels of silver, no matter how they make it up, they can't make it up, and today they sent the health wine to the palace." ”

Chen Er's deep eyes narrowed, clapped his hands, got up and said: "Let's get 50,000 taels of silver first, the matter of health wine, and then settle accounts with them later, if you ask them the secret recipe for making health wine as soon as you open your mouth, Lu Xiyi's brain will soon be able to guess that it is me, and no matter what, we can't let them get what they want." ”

"In the final analysis, it's still the cleverness of the shopkeeper, how can a little Lu Xiyi fight with you?" Chen Er smiled confidently, touched Xiao Er's brain, and immersed himself in the joy of his pride.

It was already dark, and a few kidnappers just took a few steamed buns and two bowls of millet porridge and put them on the ground and left, Xiaoxue couldn't help shouting: "Hey, you guys stop for me, where are we going to solve the problem at night?" ”

"There's a basin here, if you want to pee, just pee in it." These kidnappers were very casual, and threw a basin directly on the side of the bed, Xiaoxue couldn't help frowning, the living conditions here are so poor, and I don't know when I will be able to get out.

"Eating, drinking, and Lazar are all in one place, and after a long time, everyone will go crazy." Xiaoxue muttered to herself and walked to Lu Xiyi's side, handed her the steamed bun and said, "Let's eat as much as the shopkeeper has." ”

Lu Xiyi sighed, "I really don't have an appetite now, 50,000 taels of silver, even if I slow down the restaurant, I can't make it up, besides, there are still so many people under my hands to eat." ”

Xiaoxue took a bite of the steamed bun viciously and said: "Anyway, we can't make them proud, it's a big deal to give them the silver first, and then we will double down and ask him to come back, don't worry, the shopkeeper, Brother Shen will definitely have a way to rescue us." Xiaoxue was not worried at all, the optimistic ones ate the steamed buns, and Lu Xiyi looked at the bowl of pickled porridge with a resentful look in his eyes.

Zhenguo Mansion.

Zhong Yiqing was watching the singing and dancing performance in the courtyard, and suddenly saw his eldest brother walking in with a lifeless face, whenever he saw his dead face, he couldn't be interested in it for a minute.

Pushing the beauty in his arms to the side and getting up, straightening his clothes, looking at him and saying, "Why did my eldest brother have time to come to my yard for a walk?" ”

"I'm here for some help." Zhong Yihan naturally couldn't pull it off, but the date on the letter was slowly approaching, and he had to find a way to get 50,000 taels of silver.

He nodded and turned his head and said, "I didn't expect my eldest brother to come to me for help, but it's really unexpected, let's say, if I can help with something, I can think about it." ”

Zhong Yihan's expression was soft and faint, but at this moment, he revealed a slight sharpness.

"I'm here to ask you how much money you can lend me?"

When Zhong Yiqing heard this, he laughed and turned his head and said, "I heard you right, right?" Big brother, you have fame and fortune now, and you still have a few dollars to ask me to borrow? ”

"I'm really in a hurry, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you."

Zhong Yiqing sat aside, played with the wine jug in his hand and looked at him with a smile, saying that he was still a little incredulous, his invincible eldest brother actually asked him to borrow money, which was afraid that others would laugh at him.

"That's it, a few days ago, I took a fancy to a batch of antique jade, and invested a lot of money into it, which is estimated to be profitable next year, and I still have five hundred taels of silver to spare, do you want me to lend you?"

Five hundred taels of silver is simply a humiliating figure for him, but Zhong Yihan can't care so much now, and of course he won't want money on his face, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then the five hundred taels of silver will be regarded as if I asked you to borrow it." ”

"Hahaha, I really never dreamed that you would come and ask me to borrow money!" Zhong Yiqing smiled and asked someone to send five hundred taels of silver forward, Zhong Yihan's pupils suddenly contracted, took the money and thanked him, and left his courtyard.

Early the next morning, Zhong Yihan had already collected all the 50,000 taels of silver, and Shen Zhuosi on the other side was also risking his father being discovered, pretending to cheat out 50,000 taels of silver from the account, saying that he wanted to turn over business.

Early that morning, the sky was still foggy, and there was no one on the street, but the sky was already bright. After half the incense burn, the market will be very lively.
