The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 423
King Wei quickly responded to Liu Wei, and King Wei's reaction was quickly noticed by Liu Wei.

But Liu Wei didn't do anything after he noticed it. The New Year was getting closer and closer, and he preferred to enjoy the family happiness at home with Princess Ruyi.

For several days, Liu Wei didn't do anything, and Wei Wang's people didn't find any clues related to Xue Wangyi.

Wei Wang and Liu Wei were not in a hurry, but Xue Juzheng was in a hurry. He almost came to Liu Wei to kowtow to Liu Wei, begging Liu Wei to let his son go.

Perhaps at the beginning, Xue Ju was a little angry and wanted to make a big fuss with Liu Wei, but there was no news of his son for several days, so it's no wonder he wasn't in a hurry.

If he is young, he doesn't have to be like this. He takes this opportunity to take a few more concubines, and maybe he can have many sons in the future, but the key is that he is not young now, and he is a little powerless when he does that with his wife at night. Having a baby is hard.

Therefore, he cares and cares more about his only son.

His wife is already in trouble, crying and crying all day long, either arguing for a son, or asking Xue Juzheng to find a way quickly, whether it is money or face, as long as Liu Wei is willing to let his son go, the Xue family will give them everything.

But Xue Juzheng was in a state of hesitation.

The cold wind is raging in the capital, and there is surprisingly no snow these few days. I don't know if it is because the snow fell too much a few days ago, but the weather in the capital is even colder without snow.

Xue Juzheng was a little worried about whether his son would be able to eat enough, whether he was freezing or not.

There are only two days left until the new year.

On this day, Xue Juzheng received a letter suddenly, these days he was in a bad mood, he didn't care about the major affairs of the court or other insignificant matters at all, and he didn't even want to read that letter.

Because the letter didn't even have a signature.

He didn't look at it, but a servant of Xue's mansion opened it, and when the servant opened it, he was shocked immediately, and quickly shouted: "Master, there is news about the young master."

Xue Juzheng was overjoyed, and quickly took the letter to read it. After reading it, he was suddenly dumbfounded. There was news about his son, but it was a pity that the news was sent by the robbers.

There was only one sentence in the letter: "If you want a son, prepare 5 taels of silver, and send someone to take him to Xiaoxi Lane in the west of the city at noon."

Xiaoxi Lane in the west of the city is where some poor people live. Xue Juzheng hurried to Kaifeng Mansion after reading the letter. Let's save people."

After reading the letter, King Wei sneered: "Lord Xue, you think the kidnappers are too stupid to let you go to Xiaoxi Lane in the west of the city. Your son is in Xiaoxi Lane in the west of the city? The king sent someone to look for that place. It was not found at all, the kidnappers just arranged a place for money exchange."

After listening to King Wei's words, Xue Juzheng was a little bit stunned. He felt that King Wei said a lot, but he was too nervous and his son didn't think clearly.

Thinking of this, Xue Juzheng said again: "My lord, then...then what should we do now?"

"What should I do? If I want to save your son, I will naturally do what the letter says. Although the letter doesn't say tearing up the ticket, it doesn't mean they won't really tear up the ticket."

Wei Wang's words were a bit alarmist, but Xue Juzheng heard it in his heart, but he was still a little embarrassed: "But... but 5 taels of silver, this... this is too much..."

Wei Wang sneered in his heart, you burned those things in Liuwei Meiyanfang, which are worth almost this amount, but now you have to compensate him for the loss, which is already very kind to you.

But thinking so in his heart, King Wei didn't say so.

"If you want a son, you have to pay for it. If you don't have enough money, I can lend you 1 taels."

Xue Juzheng was very happy when he heard Wei Wang Zhao Tingmei's words, but soon he realized that borrowing Wei Wang's money was equivalent to getting on Wei Wang's boat. Before the boat was on the shore, he could get off if he wanted. But now that the boat has reached the middle of the lake, I can't get off even if I want to.

After some hesitation, Xue Juzheng agreed without hesitation.

Although he was an official in the court, but if he was asked to take out 5 taels of silver at once, he really couldn't take it out for a while. For his own son, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and board the pirate ship of King Wei.

After collecting the money in such a hurry, Xue Juzheng was so shy that there was only one house left, but he couldn't care about it, so he hurriedly ordered someone to take 5 taels of silver to Xiaoxi Lane in the west of the city.

It was just before noon when they came to Xiaoxi Lane in the west of the city, and there was a chill everywhere, exuding a strange smell. They waited for a stick of incense at the agreed place, but they did not wait for the transaction people.

Just when they were waiting a little impatiently, a child in thin clothes suddenly sent a letter. Xue Juzheng took a look at the letter, and saw that if he wanted to change his son, he had to pull the money to A place called Plum Blossom Villa outside the city.

After reading the letter, Xue Juzheng didn't think too much, and immediately led someone to take the silver to the Plum Blossom Villa outside the city.

At this time, the plum blossoms of the Plum Blossom Villa were in full bloom, but the gate of the Plum Blossom Villa was closed. No matter what Xue Juzheng called, no one responded immediately, but when Xue Juzheng was about to send someone to smash the door in a rage, the door suddenly opened.

Then a fat man came out from the inside. The man looked Xue Juzheng up and down, and then threw a letter to Xue Juzheng. After throwing the letter, the man slammed the door shut.

Xue Juzheng was dumbfounded, what is going on?

After reading the letter, I saw that it said: "If you want to get back your son, go to Bafangju in the capital."

After Xue Juzheng read it, he tore the letter into pieces. Obviously, he was teased. If the group of kidnappers only wanted money, why did they run around like this, just handing over the money with one hand and others with the other? That's fine, why do you have to do so many things?
Those people must be trying to play tricks on him, Xue Juzheng, but even if he knew that the kidnappers were going to play tricks on him, he still had to do it the same way, cursing secretly in his heart while hurriedly leading people to Bafangju.

Bafangju is an inn, Xue Juzheng didn't have any hope when he came, but as expected, after he entered Bafangju, the owner of Bafangju immediately sent him another letter.

But this time Xue Juzheng was not in a hurry to read the letter, but stared at the owner of Bafangju and asked, "Who gave you the letter?"

The owner of Bafangju was obedient, but he still answered Xue Juzheng's question: "Last night, when the villain was thinking about sleeping, a man in black suddenly broke into the villain's bedroom and asked me to give this letter to Mr. Xue. , If I don't recruit, they will kill me. The villain has no choice but to wait for the adult to come. Now that you are here, the villain, I can rest assured..."

If it was really a bandit's act, Xue Juzheng snorted coldly and opened the letter, but after opening the letter, he couldn't help but let out an unknown anger.
