My father has not returned for more than half a month, and as soon as Mu Yu came back today, he received the news that his father was kidnapped for ransom, which really caught Mu Yu off guard!

Mu Zhengqing is the backbone of the family, and the backbone is tied up, so only Mu Yu can be in charge, but Mu Yu has only been back for more than a month, and he has just touched his own business, so he can only say that he knows a little bit about it. Now Mu Hong is the only one who can take care of things at home, but Mu Hong is a cautious and timid character, so let him take charge of things...... must have obediently prepared 10 million taels of gold to hand over to the bandits, but it is difficult to say whether Mu Zhengqing can come back safely.

Mu Yu was anxious.

Ten million taels of gold is not a small amount.

In the account room of the Mu family, Mu Yu was counting the accounts with the account room, and the matter of taking care of the shops and docks was handed over to Mu Hong.

The head of the accounting office and the nine accounting gentlemen were counting the accounts of the Mu family since the beginning of the year, and because of the suddenness of the incident, the accounting office could only stop the affairs at hand and temporarily calculate and count. Because of the development of the Mu family's business, the number of bookkeepers has also increased unconsciously, from one or two at the beginning to ten now, you can imagine the huge business of the Mu family.

The account room kept clearing and inventory, the abacus was dialed "rattling", the sweat beads fell "swish" but did not care about wiping it, and the ledger was turned over page by page, and the dense numbers on it, as well as records and annotations, made Mu Yu feel big at a glance...... Fortunately, there is no shortage of Mr. Accounts at home.

Even so, it took an afternoon and an evening to calculate and count the accounts of more than four months, until about a quarter of the hour, when the sky was about to get dark, the head of the accounting office finally handed over the final general ledger to Mu Yu.

Mu Yu just had dinner and paced at the door of the tent, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, the more worried he became, until Mr. Wang, the head of the ledger, pushed the door out with the ledger, Mu Yu took it with great anxiety, and he didn't dare to open it in his hand for a long time.

The bookkeepers were already physically and mentally exhausted after such a long period of work, and they all went out to dinner. Mu Yu sat alone in the account room, frowning and staring at the account book in front of him.

The numbers written by those big red brushes made Mu Yu worry more and more when he looked at it...... The income in less than half a year is only 500,000 taels of gold, and the entire savings of the Mu family are more than 5 million taels of gold, which is too far from 10 million taels......

In addition, silver is commonly used in the market nowadays, and if you exchange it for gold, you have to go to the local government office to exchange it, because it is against the law of the Eastern Progressive Kingdom to use gold without the official mark. Donglin City does not have such an official office, and Feng Yu does not have the right to establish such an official office. Mu Yu could only choose to exchange it at the nearest Xinzhou Commercial Office in about four days.

Mu Yu felt a sense of despair and powerlessness stirring in her heart, she stared at the ledger blankly, as if she could conjure up 10 million taels of gold by staring at it like this, but in fact she couldn't, the reality was so cold-blooded and cruel.

Is his father really going to die at the hands of bandits?

Isn't there room for détente?

Why is Daddy being targeted by bandits?

Why did the bandits offer such a sky-high price?

If these bandits have long been eyeing the Mu family, then they should know something about the Mu family, if the bandits really just want money, then they shouldn't offer such a sky-high price, after all, the Mu family can't take so much, although the Mu family is one of the best in Donglin City, but Donglin City is too remote and narrow after all.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mu Yu was about to collapse, she had to find someone to help, and for now, the Chamber of Commerce and Feng Yu could help her.

She stepped out of the account room, and found that the sky was low and dark, there was not half a star, and the cold wind was howling. The bookkeepers haven't come back since they went out, and no one has come back to take a break or anything...... Mu Yu shook her head, how could she control those people?

The most urgent task is to find someone to discuss the countermeasures.

The weather suddenly turned cold at night, and she thought of going back to Xinyuan to change into thicker clothes, but suddenly remembered that Xiao Bang was still in Lingmu Village, so she gave up. The lanterns were lit on time in the courtyard, but it was empty, and it seemed quieter than ever.

When I arrived at Qinxin Courtyard, I found that the courtyard was dark, only the main house was lit, and the sound of my mother's crying faintly came from inside, accompanied by the comfort of the maid and mother-in-law, the cold wind blew through, and the lanterns in the yard moved.

The courtyard was cold.

Mu Yu walked quickly into the main room and lifted the curtain.

The mother was sad, her eyes were blue, the tears on her face had not yet dried, and the maid and mother-in-law were watching expressionlessly, comforting them from time to time.

"Yu'er, you're here, sit down......" Mrs. Mu couldn't speak, and the handkerchief on her hand was already wet.

When Mu Yu saw this scene, her heart was distressed and choked up, but she held it in her heart, why didn't she want to cry? But what about after a lot of crying? Who will save Daddy? Who will save the Mu family?

She can't mess with herself, there must be, there must be a way.

"Mother, my daughter will definitely think of a way, don't cry......" Although it was useless to say this, she still couldn't help but say it.

Mrs. Mu waved her hand and withdrew the maid and mother-in-law.

"Yu'er, 10 million taels of gold, our Mu family can't take it out......"

"I know." Mu Yu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice.

And even if it is taken out, there is no guarantee that those bandits will really keep their promises.

"Mother, relax and go to the king of the county now, as well as Uncle Liao." Mu Yu raised his head and clenched his mother's wrist and said.

"Your Uncle Liao has already been here during the day......" Madame Mu said mournfully.

"So, how?" There is no need to ask Mu Yu to know what the result is, but Mu Yu still has a glimmer of hope.

"They can't help it......" Madame Mu was exhausted and drowsy.

"Mother, I'll help you to the bed first."

......

As soon as Mu Yu stepped out of the wooden house, she heard someone behind her catch up and call out to her.

"Uncle, why did you come out too?"

The uncle smiled embarrassedly: "Miss Mu, Miss Mu, I can't help you with your family's food and living for nothing, and your father is being ...... I saw that your girl's family went out alone, and I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I followed, do you need my help? ”

"I'm going to the county king's mansion to find the county king."

"Then I'm ......"

"Uncle, you don't have to worry about me, I have learned kung fu, you can do it alone, you can go back and rest early."

"But ......"

"Uncle really doesn't need to."

"Why don't I send you off?"

"Well, that's fine."

Out of the wooden house, Mu Yu went to the county king's mansion.

She was now full of weakness, and she walked lightly, and her mind was in a trance.

Unconsciously walked to the county king's mansion.

The black sky in front of the county king's mansion was empty, and Mu Yu stood still.

The uncle said, "Miss Mu, why don't we come back tomorrow, you see that the king of the county has already fallen asleep." ”
