Chapter 282 is not very peaceful
Chapter 282 isn't very peaceful.
It was very hot in the Yangzhou Mansion, and there were a few cicadas lying on a few willow trees in the Inner Palace, screaming desperately.
When Hua Lang and the others arrived, Fang Qingtong looked proud, but although he was proud, he also had a faint worry.
He is proud because his guess is right, Hanalang is going to lose, and he is worried because they haven't rescued Tong Qi'er yet.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Luo Qing showed the extortion letter to Bao Zheng, and after Bao Zheng read it, he found that the words on it were crooked and very ugly, I don't know if the kidnapper was afraid that people would recognize his handwriting, or because his handwriting was originally ugly.
The letter said that if you want to redeem Tong Que'er, you must give them 5,000 taels of silver, and the method of exchange is to let Tong Yuanwai take the silver to Slender West Lake first, and then take a boat to the center of Slender West Lake, where someone answers, but remind Tong Yuanwai that he can only go alone, if he finds someone from the Yamen, he will kill his daughter, and warn Tong Yuanwai, don't play tricks, after they receive the 5,000 taels of silver, they will not tell Tong Yuanwai where his daughter is hiding for the time being, and when they are safe, they will tell.
The letter is very long, but it probably means this, and after reading this letter, everyone admires the kidnapper's method, because of this method, they really dare not mess around, otherwise, the consequences may really be as the kidnapper said.
After reading the letter, everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't think of a good way for a while.
Fang Qingtong's face was hateful, but he was not a reckless person, he understood the consequences of recklessness very well.
I don't know how long it took, Luo Qing looked at everyone and asked, "At this time, do you have any good solutions?" ”
The boy sat on the chair, stood up tremblingly, and said, "Do what the kidnappers say, I don't care about five thousand taels of silver." ”
Seeing Tong Yuanwai say this, although everyone has a lot of objections, they can't say anything else, and now their only worry is that if Tong Yuanwai hands over the silver, what if the kidnappers are insatiable, and what if the kidnappers don't send Miss Tong back?
Everyone was talking like this, which made it difficult for Tong Yuanwai to do it, and at this time, Hanalang kept sitting on the chair and pondering, as if he didn't take this discussion of the crowd to heart.
I don't know how long it took, Luo Qing got up and said: "Now I have to do what the kidnappers said, the kidnappers agreed on the time before dusk today, let the children prepare outside." ”
After leaving the government in a hurry, Tong Yuanwai went to prepare money for the redemption of his daughter.
And at this time, in the government, Hua Lang was still pondering.
Seeing Hua Lang like this, Fang Qingtong sneered: "Have you figured out how to rescue Miss Tong?" ”
Hua Lang smiled lightly and said, "Not this one, but I have a very crazy idea." ”
"What thoughts?" Everyone asked in unison.
The corners of Hua Lang's mouth rose slightly, and said, "Have you ever thought about it, what kind of person can lure Tong Que'er?" ”
Hua Lang suddenly asked this sentence very incomprehensibly, who can deceive Tong Que'er, of course he is a person with high deception?
But is that really the case?
Of course, this possibility is not ruled out, but there is another possibility, it was Tong Qi'er's closer people who seduced her, that is, Lingling.
When Hua Lang said his crazy idea, Fang Qingtong still didn't believe it, because he didn't believe that a subordinate who had been following Tong Qi'er for more than a year would do something to abduct his young lady.
Hua Lang didn't say much else about Fang Bronze's disbelief, because as far as he was concerned, he didn't believe much in this idea, but about Ling Ling, Hua Lang was very sure that she had a problem.
She asked for six or seven days off from the child, but then she only came home for two days, and what did she do for the rest of the day?
After noon, Fang Qingtong had been inquiring about the news with his subordinates, and paying close attention to the actions of the children, if something happened to them, they would rush forward as soon as possible.
In addition, he also asked a group of people who were good at the water to pretend to be fishermen and fish around the agreed place, for this, the kidnappers did not dare to have any objections, he could decide who would pay, but could he decide who would go fishing?
When Fang Bronze was doing these things, Hua Lang and Bao Zheng had been staying in the post house, Bao Zheng walked around, very worried, Hua Lang was still meditating, time passed minute by minute, just when everyone was a little impatient, Hua Lang suddenly stood up from the chair and said, "Quick, follow me, let's play a trick for the kidnappers Praying Mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches." ”
Everyone didn't understand what Hua Lang meant by this, but they still followed him.
Before dusk, after the boy asked people to load five thousand taels of silver onto the boat, they rowed alone and swam to the center of the Slender West Lake, and at this time, Fang Bronze and the others were already guarding the agreed place, they were well hidden, fishing by boat, or fishing, no matter what, they sat down and did what they should do.
Five thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is not light, the boat outside the child is swimming steadily in the water, but the hand outside the child is trembling, he doesn't know if his decision is correct, whether it is worth it to hand over so much money to the kidnappers, whether it is really able to save his daughter.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the agreed place, where a man with a hat was already waiting, and when the man saw the boy outside, he struck three times with a sliding rod in the water, and the water splashed a little white, and then fell into the lake again.
This was the agreed meeting between the kidnappers and the child, and when he saw the man, he swam the boat there, and when he arrived, everything went very fast, and the man carried the silver to his boat, and then he drove away, only whispering in the child's ear before he left.
The kidnappers were about to run, Fang Qingtong and the others were about to rush forward to chase after them, but at this time, Tong Yuanwai hurriedly shouted: "Don't chase, he told me just now that he already knew that you were here, if you dare to leave this lake before dark, he will kill my daughter." ”
At this moment, Fang Bronze was dumbfounded, they thought that the kidnappers had always been in their hands, but later found that they had always been in the calculations of the kidnappers.
lure them into an ambush nearby, and then forbid them to leave the lake, so that the kidnappers can escape quickly, and after that, the kidnappers are afraid that they will have to fly away, and at that time, it is a trivial matter to lose five thousand taels of silver, and it is bad if you can't save Miss Tong.
A hint of wind stirred the surface of the lake into ripples, and Fang Bronze and the children were floating in the Slender West Lake, thinking so much for a while that they had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Slender West Lake at this time.
