Hearing Xu Ya's words, Jiang Shaobai frowned and said, "Let the people of the Xu family and the Wang family come in immediately." ”

Soon, the people of the Xu family and the Wang family hurriedly walked in, and with a black face, the Duke of Qian Guo strode forward and gritted his teeth and said, "What the hell is going on!" What about faith?! ”

The servants of the Wang family immediately trembled and offered the letter with both hands, and the Duke of Qian opened it and took a quick look, and the whole person seemed to freeze in place.

Xu Guangyi also quickly stepped forward to take the letter from the Xu family's servant, and after reading it, his face changed greatly, "This is ...... This is completely different from the handwriting of the last ransom note! The ransom demanded is not the same either! ”

Xu Jing stood aside and saw the letter in Xu Guangyi's hand, only to see that there were only two sentences written on it-

Prepare a ransom of 10,000 taels, which must be an unnumbered gold bar.

The place and time of the transaction will be notified separately.

Although the words on the letter are still neat, they seem very unnatural, and many of the strokes have a deliberate sense of distortion.

This...... It's a letter that I worked hard to write in order to hide my true handwriting!

At this time, Chen Guogong walked over quickly, gritted his teeth and snatched the letter from Xu Guangyi's hand, glanced at it, and walked to Xu Ya, who was still sitting on the ground, and roared: "You are deliberately playing tricks on me!" ”

That look, like an angry lion, ready to tear Xu Ya into pieces at any time.

Xu Ya was so frightened that tears came out, she moved back desperately, and said in a trembling voice: "It's not me!" This letter is really ...... It's really not my handiwork! I...... I locked the two children in a small cabin near Hill Hill outside the city, and ...... Guards were also arranged to watch them, they couldn't be fine! Right...... By the way, someone must have known that this was a prank! It must be so!

I...... I also sent Tan Yun to see the two children in the afternoon......"

Qiulin Mountain is a mountain in the south of Xijing, and it is enough to travel from Xijing Mansion to Qiulin Mountain without hurrying.

Xu Jing looked at Xu Ya fiercely and said, "When did you send Tan Yun to see those two children?" ”

"Big ...... It was about 2 o'clock (2pm) ......."

Saying that, Xu Ya's eyes opened suddenly, she was so uneasy all afternoon this afternoon that she even ignored such an obvious suspicion!

Now it's almost seven o'clock in the evening, and no matter how slow Tan Yun is, he should have come back!

She didn't come back, only the possibility was - something happened to her!

When Gong Guo heard this, where could he stay any longer, he immediately turned around and walked out, shouting: "Send someone to Qiulin Mountain immediately!" ”

Xu Guangyi looked at Xu Ya anxiously, and then at Gong Guo, who was already far away, gritted his teeth, and quickly followed.

Jiang Shaobai also stood up and said in a deep voice: "Yao Shaoyin, arrange people immediately, and we will go over together!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Xu Jing and said, "Xu Niangzi, now that you have cleared your suspicions, next, this official hopes that you can be the external staff officer of the Xijing Mansion to help us solve the case." ”

Xu Jing was slightly stunned.

This was the first time that Jiang Shaobai had seriously asked her to participate in the case, she was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Thanks to Jiang Zhaoyin's love, the people's daughter will definitely try her best to assist the Xijing Mansion." ”

When waiting for the carriage to come outside, Xu Jing said: "Fang Cai Minnu saw the two letters sent by the Wang family and the Xu family on the side, the content and handwriting on them are the same, and they are from the same person. And...... If this is really sent by a kidnapper, this kidnapper is obviously much more professional than Xu Sanniang. ”

Xu Sihai on the side said puzzledly: "How did Ah Jing see it?" ”

"Quite simply, it can be seen in their ransom demands. The extortion letter made up by Xu Sanniang asked the Wang family and the Xu family to prepare 20,000 taels of silver tickets each, but although the silver tickets are easy to carry, they are extremely easy to be tracked, and each silver ticket will be printed with the silver village and the number that issued it, as long as the kidnappers circulate these silver tickets outside, the people of the government can track their whereabouts all the way through these silver tickets.

Therefore, generally experienced kidnappers will not ask their families to pay a ransom with a silver ticket.

What's more, even if it is the Wang family, it is difficult to come up with 20,000 taels at once, Xu Sanniang's original number was obviously written casually, but if it is only 10,000 taels, you can still get it by gritting your teeth. ”

This is also the same in modern times, generally novice kidnappers will ask for cash, and there are no accompanying requirements, but experienced kidnappers will ask for cash, and will definitely make a lot of requirements in advance, such as cash can not be serialized, no new banknotes, no logo on the cash, etc.

Experienced investigators can see a lot of things just from their extortion letters.

Xu Sihai was stunned, his eyes widened slightly, and he said, "That's true!" Instead of risking being discovered, it is better to directly ask the other party's family to prepare physical objects that are not easy to trace, such as gold and silver! ”

Although the gold and silver are heavy and difficult to carry, if they can be successfully transferred, these things will be completely his!

"That's right," Xu Jing nodded and said, "This time the kidnappers' request is that the ransom must be unnumbered gold bars." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and they all realized the seriousness of the matter.

Jiang Shaobai glanced at Xu Jing deeply, and said with a chuckle: "It is worthy of being a, no wonder Yao Shaoyin can even ignore my orders for the sake of." ”

Xu Jing was slightly stunned, and hurriedly wanted to say something, Jiang Shaobai had already said lightly: "Don't worry, Yao Shaoyin has been working under me for many years, what kind of person he is, I know very well, if he thinks that telling Xu Niangzi about the case will affect the investigation, no matter who Xu Niangzi is, he will not reveal a word." ”

While the men were talking, the carriage arrived.

Jiang Shaobai didn't get into the carriage, but got on the horse directly.

Xu Jing glanced at Xiao Yi, who had been by her side, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Thanks to your help today, the suspicion on me and my cousin has been washed away, Xiao ...... If there is something to do, you don't have to continue to accompany me. ”

Xu Sihai's eyes moved slightly, he took a step forward, bowed deeply to Xiao Yi, and sighed: "I really thanked Xiao Qilang today, I am anxious to confirm whether my two children are safe, and when I am free, I will personally take them to the door to thank Xiao Qilang." ”

Xiao Yi glanced at Xu Sihai and said softly: "It's all a family, Lord Xu Lang doesn't have to be so polite." I'm not too worried about Xu Langjun and Xu Niangzi, I'll go with you. ”

Saying that, Cheng Xiao had already led Xiao Yi's horse over.

Xu Jing's heart moved slightly, and she unconsciously watched Xiao Yi turn over and get on the horse neatly, until Xu Sihai called her, and then turned around and got into the carriage.

Along the way, Xu Sihai sighed that Xiao Yi was reliable and responsible, and he was a beloved person worthy of being entrusted for life.

Xu Huai'an on the side was silent and didn't say a word.

When he walked halfway, Xu Jing lifted the curtain slightly, the man was tall, his back was straight, and he rode a horse not far away in front of their carriage, like a standing and silent mountain, giving people an indescribable sense of stability.

She couldn't help but think to herself, her uncle is so satisfied with him now, if she reconciles with Xiao Yi in the future, she doesn't know if she will be so angry that she will pick up a knife and cut the man.

Thinking of Xu Sihai running after Xiao Yi with a knife, she couldn't help but laugh, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled slightly.

The carriage soon arrived in front of the cabin that Xu Ya said, and as soon as a few people got out of the car, they saw Gong Qian Guogong walking over quickly with a dark face, and his voice was trembling, and said, "It's gone...... Those two children are really gone! ”
