After Xiao Lingxiao calmed down, she came to Xianglin Courtyard dressed neatly. In the Xianglin Courtyard, the old lady asked Xiao Lingxiao with a strained face about the first snow, and after Xiao Lingxiao answered simply, she heard the old lady say, "In this way, Fengming's child was kidnapped by gangsters." He's been taking care of your finances, and I think those people are here for money, so you should do some preparation as soon as possible. This matter is up to me and your father, and when there is news from the court, your father will send someone to negotiate with those bad people. As for the silver, look at it and prepare. ”

When Xiao Lingxiao heard the old lady's words, she was really angry. The Xiao family wants to take care of this matter for the sake of face, but they still want her Xiao Lingxiao to give money to redeem people, these people may not be too calculating!

Xiao Lingxiao snorted coldly, "If those villains are really eyeing my silver, I won't care about exchanging the silver for Fengming." When those people have news, I'll take care of it. ”

The old lady looked at Xiao Lingxiao coldly, and said quietly, "Most of your silver has been purchased by Fengming to buy an estate, what if the ransom is not enough?" ”

"As long as the other party dares to speak, I, Xiao Lingxiao, can afford it, and I don't need you to worry." Xiao Lingxiao also looked at the old lady coldly and said indifferently.

The expression on the old lady's face remained unchanged, but her heart was turbulent. This Xiao Lingxiao's tone was too big, and even her old lady was a little shaken. But this point is also in her expectation, Xiao Lingxiao's wings are hard now, and she doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick with a little silver in her hand, the old lady laughed secretly in her heart, Xiao Lingxiao, Xiao Lingxiao, how can you, a little yellow-haired girl, know the sinister nature of this world? If you can afford to speak big, you will have to pay for it.

"In that case, I'm relieved." The old lady sighed, "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, your father will be busy with the management of the family's property in addition to the affairs of the court during this time. This year is not good, and there are too many places to turn. Without you, we really don't know what to do with it. ”

After speaking, the old lady pretended to ask Xiao Lingxiao a few words, and then let her go back.

Not long after Xiao Lingxiao returned to Qinghe Courtyard, she saw Narcissus running in and shouted anxiously, "Miss is not good!" After speaking, he handed a crumpled piece of paper in his hand to Xiao Lingxiao. Xiao Lingxiao unfolded the paper and looked at it, and there were two lines of small characters written on it, "In the poplar forest outside the Imperial City at midnight, one million taels of silver is ransomed." ”

After Xiao Lingxiao saw it, she stood up and said with a panicked face, "I heard the old lady say just now that she was going to prepare silver to redeem people, but I didn't expect it to come so soon!" A million taels of silver? How good is that! After finishing speaking, she turned her head and glanced at Bao Rong'er, "Don't go and prepare the car yet!" I've got to go raise money right away! ”

Bao Rong'er knew that Xiao Lingxiao was acting for Narcissus, so she also joined in the fun and ran out in a panic to prepare the car. Xiao Lingxiao was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, grabbed Narcissus, and said, "Narcissus, after I leave in a while, you quickly take the maids and ladies in the yard to count the things, and pack all the valuable items, in case I don't have enough money, these things will have to be taken to make up the number." We're going to get the Third Young Master back anyway, understand! ”

Hearing this, Narcissus nodded vigorously, and Xiao Lingxiao ran out quickly when she saw this.

In the room, Narcissus Sensen smiled, snorted coldly, and muttered in a low voice, "What the hell is a waste, arrogant for so long, do you really think you can beat the Xiao family?" Hum. ”

Bao Rong'er quickly prepared the carriage and horses, and Xiao Lingxiao only left a few safe demon wolf brothers here to keep an eye on those maids, lest they take the opportunity to make trouble, and then left the Prime Minister's Mansion with the rest of the demon wolves.

After coming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bao Rong'er asked Xiao Lingxiao, "Master, where are we going?" ”

Xiao Fengming had come to attack Xiao Lingxiao in the morning, and the note asking for ransom was naturally fake, and of course they couldn't really raise money.

Xiao Lingxiao smiled when she heard this, "Wuqi Country is also a place with royal laws, let's go report to the official!" ”

The carriage galloped, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the gate of Jingzhao Yin's yamen, and after reporting the identity, the guards were all taken aback and hurriedly went in. What happened before made Jing Zhaoyin have a little admiration for Xiao Lingxiao, so as soon as he heard that she came to report the case in person, he hurriedly went out to greet her.

Xiao Lingxiao was invited into a side room, Jing Zhaoyin asked what happened, and then looked at the note, and a pimple condensed between his eyebrows.

Xiao Lingxiao saw that he was in a dilemma, and said softly, "I, Xiao Lingxiao, am a weak female streamer, and I can't fight those bandits, I think about it, and I still feel that I should come to report the case, Lord Jing Zhaoyin must have experience in dealing with kidnapping cases, and can show me the right way to rescue my third cousin......"

Jing Zhaoyin saw Xiao Lingxiao's sincerity, and wanted to ask her why she didn't hand over this note to her father, Prime Minister, to deal with, but then thought of the situation of her and her third cousin in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her heart suddenly became clear. This note fell into Xiao Lingxiao's hand, presumably the Xiao family was pretending to be deaf and dumb and didn't want to spend money to redeem Xiao Fengming.

In a big family like the Xiao family, they will not come to Jing Zhaoyin to report the case until they have to do so. Even if they report the crime, what they need is not for Jing Zhaoyin to give them a proper disposition or to find out the truth, they just need to get a statement they want to silence outsiders. Jing Zhaoyin's position is actually a tool in their hands, an inconspicuous minion.

But looking at Xiao Lingxiao today, Jing Zhaoyin found that she seemed to really ask for help from herself.

"Miss Xiao, I'll say ugly things in front, if you report the case to me, then how to do it, you have to listen to me." Jing Zhaoyin said to Xiao Lingxiao with a frown.

Xiao Lingxiao nodded when she heard this, "Everything is a battle, as long as I can rescue my third cousin safely, no matter how much silver I have, I will find a way to raise it, what do you say, I will never question your decision." ”

Jing Zhaoyin heard Xiao Lingxiao's words and immediately nodded with satisfaction. He got up and walked around a few times with his hands behind his back, thought about it, and then said to Xiao Lingxiao, "The robbers want silver, but after the silver is in hand, I am afraid that they will tear up the ticket and kill the third son, so we can't give them this silver." I'm going to investigate the identities of these robbers and their hiding places, and just in case, Miss Xiao, you should immediately go and raise as much money as you can in case you need it. ”

Xiao Lingxiao got up and nodded vigorously, and left the yamen with a thousand thanks.

Jing Zhaoyin secretly made up his mind that before the holy decree arrived, he would treat this matter as an ordinary kidnapping case, if he could successfully rescue Xiao Fengming, then if he investigated the case in the wealthy family in the future, he would no longer be called around as a slave.

Jing Zhao Yin had enough strength to investigate the case, and as soon as the officials spread out, the news spread like the wind blowing leaves, and instantly spread all over the corners of the imperial city.

Xiao Lingxiao took people to his own shops for a turn, arranged the business, and went to Shang Lingyu on a special trip. Shang Lingyu heard that Xiao Fengming had been kidnapped, but she didn't show much surprise, she just lightly told Xiao Lingxiao that Xiao Fengming's life was the most important, and if the money to ransom people was not enough, she could also help.

Although Xiao Lingxiao said thank you, she vaguely felt that there was something hidden in Shang Lingyu's indifferent attitude. This woman has always been mysterious, and Xiao Lingxiao has no way to delve into it now.

After turning around, Xiao Lingxiao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and as soon as her carriage and horse stopped, she saw the housekeeper coming forward, and said with a bitter face, "Miss, you can be regarded as back, the master is angry, let you go to the study to see him immediately after you come back." ”

Xiao Lingxiao followed the housekeeper all the way to the study, and when she entered the door, she saw Xiao Shuyong sitting behind the desk with a black face.

Xiao Shuyong saw Xiao Lingxiao coming, waved his hand and sent the housekeeper away, and then snorted, "You went to Jingzhao Yin Yamen to report to the official?" ”

Xiao Lingxiao nodded.

"Do you know how much face you have lost to the Xiao family by doing this!" Xiao Shuyong slapped the table and said angrily, "Which big family has no children and grandchildren who have been kidnapped?" Look at who's running to report to the official! This kind of thing is making trouble, isn't it waiting for someone to point at our Xiao family to see a joke! ”

Xiao Lingxiao looked at Xiao Shuyong coldly, and said, "Feng Ming is the only son of the third uncle, the only heir of the third room, the third uncle is not here, my father doesn't plan to just let Feng Ming be kidnapped and don't ask, right?" ”

Xiao Shuyong slapped the table again, "Presumptuous!" When have I ever said anything like that? The dignified Xiao family, the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion, can't you save a Xiao Fengming? ”

"Oh? So, my father has already sent someone to rescue him? Xiao Lingxiao snorted coldly.

Xiao Shuyong frowned, if Xiao Lingxiao hadn't mentioned Xiao Shumou, Xiao Shuyong would have almost forgotten that the scumbag who had been following Xiao Lingxiao to help her take care of everything was the son brought back by the third brother. That stinky boy has no resemblance to the Xiao family in the slightest, whether he looks or talks, how can he be a descendant of the Xiao family! How could the Xiao family go to the silver for him! What's more, it is not uncommon to be kidnapped in the big family for so many years, and even if you pay the money, few people come back in the end. Xiao Fengming is now dead.

"The best guards in the palace have all been sent by me to find someone, do you have any doubt about this?" Even if he didn't do it, Xiao Shuyong expected that Xiao Lingxiao would not bite the question, so he simply lied. Seeing that Xiao Lingxiao really didn't refute, he continued, "I heard the old lady say that you have already gone to prepare the silver for ransom. Leave this matter to my father, and give me all the money, and I will go and redeem Fengming. ”

Shameless thing!

Xiao Lingxiao scolded the man in front of her in her heart who wanted to be called her father, she lived in another world in her previous life, and she had seen many dirty people, but because they had nothing to do with her, she didn't feel anything. But after coming to this world, she found that if people don't have a face, it really makes people hate the roots of their teeth and want to bite him!
