The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 451 Letter

Seeing the person coming, Shi Liu was also surprised and confused.

"What happened in the city?"

The visitor was Zhao Wang, a waiter at Tongwanzhai in Fucheng.

He left the city yesterday and hurried all the way. When he arrived at Erli Village, it was already dark, so he had to stay in Erli Village for one night. Before dawn today, he came to Luoshui City.

Seeing Shi Liu, he quickly said, "The shopkeeper asked me to come back and tell you that my son-in-law was involved in a murder case and has been imprisoned!"

"what?"

Shi Liu was startled. Before she could ask more questions, Old Deng came in in a hurry. "Miss, someone knocked on the door just now. I opened the door but didn't see anyone. I found this letter on the ground!"

Fu Dong hurriedly took the letter and passed it to Shi Liu.

Shi Liu took it and after taking a deep breath, she slowly opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

When the letter was unfolded, there were only three short sentences on it.

Tomorrow at 9:00 p.m., at Honglinpo outside the city, two hundred thousand taels of silver will be found.

Shi Liu's hand holding the letter paper slightly tightened, then suddenly relaxed.

Are they the rebels? She was a little suspicious. They only wanted 200,000 taels of silver.

But no matter what, this trip had to be made, so Shi Liu gave Zuo Cheng detailed instructions.

Zuo Cheng bowed in response and then walked out.

After giving these instructions, Shi Liu asked Fu Dong to call in Zhao Wang, who had just gone downstairs to rest and have breakfast.

"What's going on? Why is Mr. Fan involved in a murder case? Who is the deceased?"

Zhao Wang was not very clear either, so he just repeated the shopkeeper's instructions one by one, "The shopkeeper only asked me to come back with a report that my son-in-law was accused of murder and was thrown into jail after the trial the night before yesterday. My son-in-law's servant came to find the shopkeeper, asking me to find a way to rescue my son-in-law!"

Pomegranate frowned.

She didn't believe Fan Jin would kill someone, but why was he brought to court? He had only been in the city for a few days, could it be that he had offended someone? Was he set up?

But Zhao Wang didn't know more. Shi Liu confirmed one thing with him, that is, Fan Jin was thrown into jail after interrogation, but the case was not tried in court. In other words, Fan Jin was only a suspect, and the evidence was not conclusive.

As long as the case has not been closed with a conviction, there is still room for improvement.

Ming'er has to go and redeem Pang Ni. In comparison, this is more urgent. Shi Liu has no choice but to make a choice. After Ming'er redeems Pang Ni, she will immediately rush to the provincial capital.

However, even though she couldn't rush to the city today, Shi Liu still wrote a letter in person, asking Zhao Wang to rush back to the city and deliver it to Liu Mansion to Liu Dongjia, asking him to help say hello to Prefect Cheng and ensure Fan Jin's safety in prison. If someone really framed Fan Jin, they couldn't let that person commit suicide out of fear of punishment!

After Zhao Wang collected the letter, he left and returned to the city.

Not long after he left, Hu Zhen came back. When Shi Liu saw him, she couldn't help but look expectant, "How is it?"

After receiving the box yesterday, she instructed Hu Zhenyin to stay in the dark and keep an eye on it at all times. If someone delivered something to the door again, he should follow them quietly and find out where the other person came from.

Therefore, even though the man outside just put down the letter and left, he could not escape Hu Zhen's eyes.

But unexpectedly, Hu Zhen shook his head and said, "I lost him."

Shi Liu felt a little regretful as there was no one around her to use. Hu Zhen was quite skilled but he was not good at tracking. The enemy had obviously sent someone very powerful this time so it was normal for him to lose her. She couldn't always be the winner and suffer some setbacks.

Thinking of this, Shi Liu also sighed slightly. She had sent someone to deliver the letter to Xuanzhou before. According to the time, Huangshan should have received it. Unfortunately, there has been no news. Could it be that the other party just said it casually at the beginning and has now forgotten the promise?
It is too naive to pin your hopes on others.

Shi Liu pondered for a while and decided to go to the provincial capital to try out Liu Dongjia's connections and ask him to help make some connections and introduce him to some reliable experts.

As long as you have money, you won’t have trouble hiring a bodyguard that suits your needs.

-

The next morning, Shi Liu got up early as usual and practiced boxing, then changed his clothes and had breakfast.

As soon as the meal was over, Zuo Cheng came in and reported: "Miss, everything is ready."

Pomegranate drank some water, rinsed his mouth, stood up and went outside, "Let's go."

In Yuqian Hutong, a row of horse-drawn carriages stretched from the entrance of the alley all the way to the door of Shiliu's house, which naturally attracted the attention of many residents.

However, Shi Liu had bought the house for such a long time that the residents in Yuqian Hutong all knew Shi Liu. When they saw so many horse-drawn carriages loaded with so many large boxes, although they were curious, they just thought that the Li family was going to send some goods.

I came over to watch the fun because these carriages had come with these boxes yesterday afternoon. Where are they going with these boxes so early in the morning?
By the way, why has Miss Shi Liu been living in Yuqian Hutong recently? Didn't I hear that her second brother is getting married soon?
People who often go to specialty stores to buy things know that Miss Pomegranate's second brother, Shopkeeper Xiao Li, went home a few days ago to prepare for getting married.

Someone who was well-informed couldn't help but tell the people around him, "I heard that Miss Pomegranate's cousin, the girl who ran a spicy hot pot shop in Jiu Tiao Lane, has disappeared. She hasn't been found in a few days. There haven't been any other girls missing. It shouldn't be a crime committed by a vicious person. Everyone is guessing that she was kidnapped by kidnappers!"

"Could it be that he was really kidnapped by the kidnappers? Are these boxes filled with ransom money?"

"No way! If this is ransom silver, how much silver would be put into so many boxes? What bandit is so arrogant as to demand so much ransom silver!"

"Maybe it's copper coins?"

"If it were copper coins, that would be about right."

The crowd talked and watched the convoy leave Yuqian Hutong and merge into the street.

Captain He, who had rushed over with his men after hearing the news, blocked the main street outside and asked, "Miss Li, do you want us to go with you?"

Shi Liu lifted the curtain and looked out, then declined, "Don't bother Captain He, I have enough people with me."

Captain He looked at so many cars, each of which was followed by two guards. It seemed that the runners he brought with him were a bit redundant.

Since they were not allowed to follow, Captain He stepped aside. He kept muttering to himself as he watched the convoy pass by.

The kidnappers who came from nowhere have such a big appetite. Miss Li is also very generous. She is willing to pay so much silver to redeem her own sister. It is said that the Li family is kind and honest, and he has a deep understanding of this.

On the second floor of a teahouse on the street, through the half-closed window, a pair of eyes were watching the convoy go away.

"I was watching it yesterday. The guard named Zuo Cheng went out of the city himself and went to Erlizhuang, and then brought back this caravan. Judging from the wheel tracks, the things in the boxes must not be light, so they should be correct." said the person standing behind him.

The owner of those eyes slowly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "So, the treasure she got is hidden in Erli Village?"

"That should be right. According to our investigations over the past few days, we can confirm that Mr. Liu should be his partner. The two of them played a feint to the east and attacked in the west. She pretended to lead us to Yunzhou in the open, but in fact she was covering for Mr. Liu. The treasure must have been dug out long ago!"

"Even if we split it in half, we still need gold, silver and jewelry."

So he was very puzzled as to why the Lord only asked for 200,000 taels of silver.

It was difficult for them to take Liu Dongjia's share, but they would not let go of Li Shiliu's share. This girl had killed General Ke and his men, causing their master to lose so many elite soldiers. They wished they could grind her to ashes to vent their anger!

The man sitting there glanced at him and said coldly, "The master has his own arrangements, so don't interfere."

"Yes!" The man shuddered and dared not say anything more.
