Chapter 137: Yu Silin is kidnapped
The mustache county guard frowned, "I don't know, the entire caravan has a total of twenty people all tied up, we haven't gotten any news from Silin, it may be ......"
He couldn't bear to say this answer, for fear of stimulating the heart of his mother, who was nearly sixty years old, but according to what he had always known about Ku Xia, he knew that she was the backbone of the Yu family, and she had to know such a big thing.
The mustachioed county guard continued, "Maybe the four forests were taken away by the robbers!" ”
"Suddenly" on the ground! When I got the news at first glance, the whole world of Kuxia was spinning!
Seeing that Ku Xia's body shook, the mustachioed county guard hurriedly helped him, "Aunt Yu, you can't fall!" What if you fall down in the house! ”
"I'm fine, what did the robbers say? How much ransom do they want? ”
After the dizziness, Kuxia quickly cheered up and calmly inquired about the robber's intentions.
The mustachioed county guard stretched out a palm, and his lips trembled a few times before he said, "Five thousand taels of gold!" ”
Kuxia gritted her back molars and said, "What a lion's mouth!" I don't have so much money to sell my house! ”
The mustachioed county guard also thinks that these kidnappers dare to open their mouths too much, that's five thousand taels of gold! I can't even take it, it's like a hill there, and five thousand taels of gold is more than five hundred catties! You have to dig into the treasury to have so much money!
"Aunt Yu, this group of kidnappers sent the news to the yamen, and it wrote the ransom they asked for and the location of the ransom exchange, and the rest was not left, I have sent troops to find it, they have found out which way Silin was robbed, I believe there will be news soon, we will definitely rescue Silin safely!"
In order to deliver the goods quickly, Yu Silin did not take the main road that had already flowed out of them, but the small road that not many people passed, otherwise he would not have been kidnapped by a group of robbers so easily.
"Then thank you, sir, if you need anything, just tell me, I will try my best to raise money!"
Ku Xia and the mustache were discussing here, and Li Xinyao hurriedly came over again.
She shouted anxiously, "Mother! Mother! Look at this letter! ”
Ku Xia took the letter and looked at it, ignoring the words warned by the kidnappers, Ku Xia only saw two useful messages, which lowered the ransom to two thousand taels of gold, and the location of the replacement was also changed, just in the broken temple in the south of the city, and specially told Ku Xia to go alone, if you dare to go to one more, immediately tear up the ticket!
Li Xinyao was still suspicious, but when she saw that the bearded county guards were here, this matter must be true, "Mother, the funds that can be mobilized in our family's account now are not more than five hundred taels of gold, and they are far from meeting the kidnappers' requirements!" What can I do? ”
Ku Xia received the kidnapper's message, but became more calm, as long as there is something to ask, it will be easy to do, "Don't panic, let me think about it carefully." ”
"The most important thing for us now is to determine where the kidnappers are and where they have taken the fourth child, rather than really preparing two thousand taels of gold to exchange the fourth child with them."
"But we still have to do what we should do, the kidnappers must have arranged for someone to keep an eye on our neighborhood a long time ago, and now our every move has long been in the hands of the kidnappers, if we really don't run around for these two thousand taels of gold, maybe the next thing we will receive will be a finger from the fourth child!"
Li Xinyao's heart trembled when she was frightened, "Then I'll raise money now!" I'm going to talk to the bosses we work with! ”
Kuxia nodded, "Go ahead." ”
"Wait."
Ku Xia stopped Li Xinyao, who was just about to leave.
Li Xinyao stopped, "Mother, what's the matter?" ”
"Go and call all the children and adults back in the house, let them stay at home, and don't go out until the fourth child comes back!"
"I see, mother."
After Li Xinyao left, Ku Xia and Mustache returned to Yu's house to discuss countermeasures.
After everything was arranged, Ku Xia sent the mustache guard out, bowed his hand, and said solemnly, "Everything will be entrusted to the adults!" ”
Mustache Jun replied with a salute, "Although Aunt Yu can rest assured, it is within the official's duty to get rid of all the bandits and return the people to safety!" ”
Ku Xia turned around and walked into the courtyard, looked up at a dark corner of the roof, and it was clear that nothing had happened, but Ku Xia seemed to be relieved.
The two secret guards that Yin Hongxuan left for her before leaving have been staying at her house, and they used to accompany the children in the countryside with Liu Youxiang, but now that the children are here, the two secret guards have followed.
The reconnaissance level of the secret guard is much higher than that of the guards under the bearded guard, and when the bearded county guard came, they found that someone was following him, and they didn't know what the people who followed him until the bearded county guard said what he meant.
They gave Ku Xia a secret message, telling her to just play, that person will definitely go back to report the news when he gets the news, they just follow the back of that person quietly, and they can find Yu Silin!
There is a special way of contact between the secret guards, a secret guard to follow, and the secret guard who stays at home will be able to receive the news immediately, and then the bitter summer will notify the mustachioed county guard to send troops to arrest him!
The dark guard followed behind the man, all the way to the old woods in the north of the city, watching the man turn several corners and detour many roads before entering the depths of the woods, the dark guard followed in and eavesdropped on them, only then did they know that they didn't plan to exchange Yu Silin in the broken temple in the south of the city, and everything they did was simply a disguise!
They are planning to test how many assets the Yu family has, so as to loot their house, and the caravan they captured these kidnappers do not plan to return them, and they directly tear up the tickets on the spot!
The dark guard confirmed that Yu Silin was fine except for the unconscious, so he sent the news here to the dark guard at home.
Ku Xia received the letter and immediately informed the mustache county guard to prepare manpower and rescue them in Silin at any time!
Ku Xia did not act rashly, but chose to continue to wait.
If you directly let the mustache county guard rush forward with the soldiers, wouldn't it be that those kidnappers would take Yu Silin and them hostage, and they wouldn't do this kind of thing that is beneficial to the enemy.
The first thing to do now is to ensure the safety of those people in Yu Silin.
The kidnappers sent several letters, and there should have been a good archer in the kidnapper's team, and each time the envelope was firmly pierced by a sharp arrow at the gate of Kuxia's house.
Several letters changed addresses and changed the amount of the ransom several times, and the last letter was delivered at the end of the night, which determined the amount of the ransom and the place where the hostages had been exchanged.
The ransom was six hundred taels of gold in the cemetery on the west side of the city.
Yu De looked at the contents of the letter and scolded, "These kidnappers really have brains!" Just tried out our bottom line! Grandmother! Just don't wait! I'll take people all the way in! Save the fourth uncle and them! ”
