The return of the first daughter

Han Jiangxue knew that the other party would definitely make a fuss about paying the ransom, and she even vaguely felt that those people might ask her to send the ransom, because in the Han family, she should be considered extremely annoying by the other party. Want to tidy up?

Hearing what his daughter said, Han Feng knew that going to rescue Brother Qing would be in great danger. He didn't want his daughter to go into danger again, but after thinking about it, the Han family is in danger now. Well, since my daughter already has a perfect plan, it's better not to restrain her hands and feet and let her show her hands and feet with peace of mind.

Han Jiangxue's personality has been similar to that of a boy since he was a child. In the past, this was the most troublesome thing for Han Feng. He always felt that his daughter was not like a girl, which really took his brains out.But now, he is somewhat fortunate, no matter what, when the family is facing difficulties, no matter whether it is a son or a daughter, the chances of survival of a child who can stand alone are always much higher than others.

In the early morning of the next day, the kidnappers were not in a hurry to come back with new news, but the Han family compound was packed to the brim. The relatives of the Han family had basically arrived, and it seemed that some of the visitors were not friendly.

Similar to what happened to Han Jiangxue's second uncle in Huaizhou before, this time, the kidnapping of Brother Qing was quickly spread out of nowhere.

Almost all the offshoots of the Han family got the news that the kidnappers demanded 100 million taels of silver for the Han family to redeem.So there will be quite a few uncles, aunts, uncles and aunts who made an appointment and ran over to ask Han Feng if this is the case.

Even the patriarch was invited by them, and they said it nicely.Everyone seemed to come here to discuss how to save brother Qing, but the attitude was obviously more concerned with how to handle the 100 million taels.

Han Feng was so busy outside that he didn't know that his family had been surrounded by his clansmen. The servant who sent the letter to look for him didn't have a specific place to look for it for a while, so he had to go to the place where the master was most likely to go. Search everywhere.

Although Han Feng was not there, no matter how many relatives came, he couldn't close the door and refuse to see him.

Han Jiangxue asked all the elders of the clan to be seated in the hall for tea first, and the second and third wives came out to accompany them to socialize.It's just that no one told the whole story about Brother Qing, only that although Brother Qing's whereabouts are unknown at this meeting, he kept his mouth shut.I haven't heard of any kidnapping of 100 million taels.

"You two sisters-in-law, you are just talking nonsense." The hall uncle said with a stern face, "So many of us have heard about it, isn't it because we care about Brother Qing that we are in such a hurry Come here and help us figure out a way? You guys are doing your best to guard us like thieves, without a single word of truth, what does that mean?"

Others listen.All of them responded immediately, only saying that the second and third wives regarded them as outsiders, and they didn't pay attention to the relatives of the Han family at all.The old patriarch was carried out by the crowd, yelling for the patriarch to judge and see if their good intentions were eaten by dogs.

The second lady and the third lady suddenly turned blue and then pale, and they explained for a long time but it didn't help at all.On the contrary, it made everyone even more angry, and even the old patriarch told them not to hide it anymore.If you say something directly, Mo will delay the important matter of saving Brother Qing and hurt the feelings of the whole family in the end.

Seeing the situation getting more and more tense, the second aunt and the third aunt were forced to die by a large group of people, but Han Jiangxue at the side suddenly asked in a moderate way: "Uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle , Uncle Jiu, and all the aunts and aunts, where did you hear that someone used Brother Qing to extort 100 million taels of silver?"

Han Jiangxue's voice immediately made the noisy crowd stop, and all looked over in unison.

Most of the elders present were called by Han Jiangxue on the spot, and everyone looked at each other.In the end, it was the aunt who said first: "Girl Xue, don't do Tai Chi with the aunt here. Wouldn't you know that such a big thing happened? It doesn't matter who told us, the important thing How can you hide such a big thing from us? Well, you can hide it from us, and we don’t care, but now we kindly want to help, so we have come here to ask you face to face, how can you still treat us as fools generally?"

"What did my aunt say, and my niece just asked you, who told you that Brother Qing was kidnapped and asked for a ransom of 100 million taels?" Han Jiangxue was not as easy to fool as her second and third aunts. , completely ignored the useless words that the eldest aunt said, and asked directly who said such a story and spread it.

"Does someone need to tell us this? It's spread in the capital." The aunt took Han Jiangxue's words and carried them over with a light sentence: "It is said that there is no such thing as no waves, no such thing people dare to mess up Pass it on? Besides, when your third uncle was just brought back the day before yesterday, you sent many people to look for brother Qing that day, but there has been no movement these two days. Isn't that obvious? "

"Has it spread in the capital? Then why haven't I heard of it? If it spreads, someone must reach you, right?"

Han Jiangxue asked back while reaching out to stop the third lady who wanted to go forward to explain, and signaled them not to worry: "Also, no matter how I look at it, I feel that today's uncles and aunts don't seem to be here to ask for help. On the contrary, they seem to be here. It’s like asking a teacher about a crime. What’s going on here?”

Seeing this, the eldest aunt said with a look of unwillingness to argue with a junior: "How do you talk, girl? We are all good-hearted but you only think of us as bad, this is too much..."

"Why can't Auntie just tell you who told you that Brother Qing was kidnapped? Is there some ulterior secret in it, or is it just Auntie talking nonsense?"

Han Jiangxue, on the other hand, was relentless, staring straight at the eldest aunt, not giving her a chance to avoid the problem at all.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your second uncle heard this from his friend in the Yamen himself. How can I be talking nonsense!" The eldest aunt spoke quickly.Instead, he confessed to the second cousin.

Seeing this, the second cousin first gave the eldest aunt an unpleasant look, and then he didn't bother to deny anything, and said directly: "My friend also heard about it, doesn't it mean that the story has already spread? Come on, you girl, don't make trouble here, whoever said it doesn't matter, what matters is what is going on with this matter now? Is your father really planning to give 100 million silver to those people? This kind of thing can't be done so lightly How can he make decisions on his own without discussing with us? I heard people say that you didn’t even report to officials. If you can’t save it, throwing so much money out will be wasted!”

Hearing Uncle Ertang's words, Han Jiangxue frowned immediately: "Why is Uncle Er talking like a woman? Brother Qing's matter, just a cat or a dog outside the family will believe what Uncle Er said. Why are we our own family members? After talking for a long time, you don’t believe it at all?”

With a displeased face, she made no secret of her dislike for these so-called relatives, and said as patiently as possible: "The reason why I haven't sent anyone to look for Brother Qing in the past few days is just because The third uncle raised his strength enough to tell him that when he came back, he did not take Brother Qing with him on the way. Brother Qing is still being looked after where the third uncle used to stay. The reason is that simple. Why did it seem like we What big mistake did you do here to feel sorry for your relatives? Regardless of whether the elders are kind or have listened to some people's slander, in short, the matter of Brother Qing is our own matter. If all uncles and aunts are kind enough to care about us, I would like to thank you sincerely, but if you want to accuse us of crimes and forcibly interfere with the affairs of our house, then I’m afraid it’s really out of our control.”

"Girl Xue, what are you talking about? It's so disrespectful and presumptuous!" Seeing that Han Jiangxue bluntly said that they have no such qualifications to come here to ask questions, the second cousin immediately pulled down his face and waved his feet. The appearance of an elder seems to want to teach Han Jiangxue a lesson.

see.The second and third wives were afraid that their niece would suffer, so they subconsciously wanted to defend and explain.But Han Jiangxue seemed to have guessed their thoughts, and soon cast a reassuring look at them again.

In this way, the two quickly endured it, and simply listened to Han Jiangxue's wishes.

"Second Uncle and a junior like me care about these things. What are you doing? I'm telling the truth, and the truth is never so nice."

Han Jiangxue had a haughty face, and she simply showed her previous dandy look: "Don't you keep saying that you just want to ask for verification and help? Now that we have told you, you still don't believe it, and you still have a look It looks like we have calculated it, what is going on here?"

"Come on, believe it or not, it's up to you, you don't need to help or anything, as long as the elders are not here to disturb the wind and rain, it will be a great help. Sorry, there are many things in the house. If there is no other uncles and aunts Please go back to everything, my father has a lot of things going on outside, I'm afraid he won't be able to find time for a while and deliberately delays his business to go back."

Han Jiangxue immediately put on the posture of seeing off the guests, and was too lazy to talk to these people.

Don't tell the truth all at once, these people don't know when they will turn a corner and make trouble.Anyway, it's clear that the visitor is not good, so why leave any room for it, she wants to see what kind of trouble these so-called relatives want to make under the guise of helping.

Being hit by Han Jiangxue's non-serious call, everyone's face was not good-looking, but the second aunt was a smart person, and quickly stopped the second cousin who was about to get angry, and let her answer the call.

"Girl Xue, what are you doing? We are all from the Han family. How can you think of us elders like that?"

The second aunt looked like a peacemaker and said, "Aren't we afraid that the Han family will be harmed by others? Although it is your right to deal with Brother Qing's matter, our entire Han family has always It’s one piece, and the tendons are still connected when the bones are broken, how can you tell us not to ask?”

"That's right, if Brother Qing was really kidnapped, it would be 100 million taels, not 1 taels of silver. The loss, isn't it just that the properties of our Han family will be affected by the turnover of funds? The entire Han family will have to pay for it, and the foundation of the ancestors may be shaken! We can not ask about such a big matter Well, is it possible, do you still want us to keep silent, there is no such reason in this world!"

The eldest aunt hummed and said the words directly. She didn't have as many useless words as the second aunt, but she didn't make any detours, and directly expressed what they really cared about.

Although more than half of the Han family's property is owned by Han Feng's prefecture, and all their relatives account for only [-]% of it, it is precisely because of this that they are even more worried about their own interests.After all, no matter how much Han Feng's government pays, a dead camel is bigger than a horse, but what about them?How can I stand such unreasonable involvement.

Hearing such words, the third lady was not happy at the moment, took the words and said angrily: "His aunt's words are really funny, I can hear it together, no matter whether my brother Qing was really given or not It's tied, you don't care at all, what you really care about is that you are afraid that Brother Qing will affect your harvest interests! This is not here to help you think of a way, it is clear that you are afraid that something will happen, and you want to stop his uncle Save people!"

Out of anger, the third lady didn't lose her mind when she spoke, and she didn't directly leak the fact that Brother Qing was really tied up.

"Brother and sister said this, how can we be that kind of cold-blooded and ruthless people, Brother Qing is the heir of the Han family, it is best if nothing happens, if something happens, it will naturally have to be rescued, but what? How can you pay attention to the way of salvation, if someone asks for 100 million taels and you give 100 million taels, wouldn’t you be a fool?”

The aunt immediately retorted: "If this is the case, whoever wants money in the future can just use the same tricks to find it. It will cost a few million taels to tie up anyone from the Han family. Anyway, they think that the Han family has a lot of money. Are you stupid, come here twice and wipe out the Han family, how can there be such a good money in this world? You can't patronize your own son and disregard the lives of other members of the Han family, can you?"

As soon as the words came out, the other aunts all nodded in agreement, and obviously there was no embarrassment anymore.Although the several cousins ​​and uncles didn't say anything, they agreed with what the aunt said on their faces.Even the old patriarch's silence can be regarded as acquiescing to the actions of these people.
