Niu San discussed with the younger brothers how much ransom was appropriate, "She is not a rich person, how about we ask for five hundred taels of silver?" ”

"So much, can his family have so much money? I've never seen ten taels of silver when I'm so old, let alone five hundred taels. "Little minions are chattering.

Niu Sanyi thought that Mu Ziyan was Miss Gaomen, and a few hundred taels of silver was nothing to them, "Okay, just write that you want five hundred taels of silver and send it to their Shangshu Mansion to see if they give it or not." ”

Niu San snorted coldly, "If you don't give it to us, tear up the ticket, what else is there to say, just take your life!" ”

The little minions cheered, immersed in the dream of making a fortune, Mu Ziyan happened to come at this time, and when she heard their cheers, she rolled her eyes speechlessly, "What do you have for five hundred taels, is Miss Ben only worth five hundred taels?!" One thousand taels!"

The bandits were a little stunned, how could anyone still raise the price of their ransom?!

Mu Ziyan snorted coldly, "You just have to write, our family can afford it." ”

Niu San glanced at her, Mu Ziyan knew that his vigilance had not yet been contacted, and he had to say that this person was not bad, he was not lost in front of the money, and he kept his sobriety.

"Okay, that's what you said." Niu San glared at her, changed the five hundred taels on the paper to one thousand taels, and saw if they could take it out then.

Mu Ziyan suddenly regretted that he had said that the money was too little, no matter how he said it, he had to say three thousand taels, five hundred taels was too little.

The people in the capital were watching the jokes, and wanted to wait to see if Mu Shangshu would take money to ransom his worthless daughter, and after a while, there was gossip, saying that the kidnappers wanted a ransom of 1,000 taels, and I don't know if Mu Shangshu would give it.

After a while, news came out that Mu Shangshu would definitely not pay to ransom his daughter, just a concubine, how could it be worth spending a thousand taels of silver, there are many children in the family, so why not sacrifice a concubine.

Everyone is just watching the excitement and hearing this kind of result is not surprising, thinking that the concubines are all like this, shaking their heads and regretting this poor child for a while, they will continue to live how they should live.

Just when everyone has been lamenting and regretting Mu Ziyan, suddenly there are a lot of voices accusing Mu Shangshu outside, what kind of righteousness is mostly slaughtering dogs, and most of them are scholars, and their daughters can watch them die, and they must not have much mercy for the people.

This kind of literati is the most terrifying, who knows when they will betray someone, but they dare not work with him anymore.

In short, how terrifying and terrifying Mu Shangyi is, he is simply a wolf-hearted bastard, these words have been transmitted to the homes of tens of millions of people like pieces of paper, yes, his daughter is ignored, how can he be expected to really think about the people.

Putting such a ruthless official in the imperial court, maybe how many people will be harmed, people have crusaded against and impeached Mu Shangyi, either to let him save Mu Ziyan, or to thoroughly investigate his political achievements over the years, whether he bent the law for personal gain, and preyed on the people.

Mu Shangyi didn't expect this to be the result at all, Mu Ziyan was not his daughter in the first place, he didn't want to care about it at all, but now everyone's eyes were on him, and his colleagues looked at him strangely, as if he was a big corrupt official, he had to withstand the pressure and didn't even dare to raise his head.

Mu Ziyan had already thought of this result. So what he explained to Yuan Hao was to expand the power of public opinion and let everyone point at his nose and scold, so that he would not dare not take money to save people, and people have the herd nature, and the ability to join in the fun is first-class, and the ability to spread rumors is even more first-class.

With such a big pressure of public opinion, he didn't believe that Mu Shangyi could still watch her have an accident and be indifferent, he gave this thousand taels of silver.

Mu Ziyan's abacus was loud, and she dreamed that the thousand taels of silver would come to her, and she smiled so much that the flowers on her face bloomed.

During Mu Ziyan's kidnapping, the eldest lady woke up, and now she heard that so much ransom was required to redeem the ruined girl, and she wanted to be angry. couldn't help but find Mu Kechen, "Son, you also heard about Mu Ziyan's kidnapping, is there any way?" ”

Mu Kechen raised his eyebrows, he was still slightly happy when he heard that Mu Ziyan was safe and sound, but what his mother meant when she came to ask now was that she didn't want to ransom her back?

"Mother, it's not like our family can't take out a thousand taels, now everyone is staring at it, even if it is not to save that girl, it is cost-effective to save your reputation as a thousand taels."

"That's the case, but the thought of asking so much money to redeem a person who has nothing to do with our family, my mother can't feel comfortable."

"There is no better way now, so let's eliminate disasters and block money." Mu Kechen actually didn't care about this, he didn't have a specific concept of Yin Liang, what he thought of was what it was.

The eldest lady sighed and nodded, since their son said so, what else can they do, of course, they can only use money to save people.

Mu Shangyi disagreed, insisted on reporting to the official, and said that he would take the government to hand over the bandits. This thousand taels, he will never come out.

"Master, now the people in the city are talking a lot, if you report to the official and lead the troops to go, the bandit will be angry and kill the cheap girl, and then the people in the city will say that you have disregarded her life."

Mu Shangyi was stunned, but he didn't expect it, wouldn't what he did now be wrong?

Not only was it all wrong, but he didn't have a choice yet.

Mu Shangyi gritted his teeth, and finally agreed to take the money out to ransom people.

He sent a letter back to the bandits, asking him to set a time and place, and to hand over the money in one hand and the people in the other.

When Niu San saw the letter, he felt incredible, it was so smooth, it was too weird.

Mu Ziyan snorted, all this is under her control, and when the time comes, the bandit is dead, and the money will be hers.

4567 couldn't help but applaud her, "Gao, host, wouldn't you kill two birds with one stone, kill the bandits and eliminate harm for the people, and you can also kill a thousand taels, you can really calculate." ”

Mu Ziyan smiled, what is this, after all, her head is smart.

The time soon came to hand over the money with one hand and the other hand, Mu Ziyan tied up all the flowers, followed them to the agreed place, and saw Mu Ziyan with a few family members, looking quite pitiful, but she wouldn't pity him.

"I have brought the money as you instructed, and you will get out of here as soon as you take the money." Mu Shangyi looked at the bandits and Mu Ziyan's faces were not very good, as if they were in some big trouble.

"Of course, as long as we get the money, we will never embarrass you, now, just throw the money over."
