I heard that my eldest grandson was in a coma, and the old lady Qian who had fainted had just been rescued, so she started raising money again.
She can't afford to gamble.
Without eating or drinking, even a normal person couldn't afford it, let alone Guaiguai, who had an average constitution and was seriously injured. She gave up the idea of punishing evil for the time being, and just wanted to save people as soon as possible.
This late at night, the bank was also closed.
Where should she get the money?
"A Cai, considering the time, it's time for A Hong and the others to come back, right?"
"Yes, I guess A Cai will be back tomorrow at the latest. Master's problem will be solved by then."
It turns out that the Qian family has been struggling recently, and Mrs. Qian has long been thinking about whether she should ask her mother-in-law for help. But Mrs. Qian wants to save face and is afraid of being laughed at by her brothers, so she has been unable to speak.
Until yesterday I heard that my eldest grandson was kidnapped...
She had a hunch that the kidnappers would not want a small amount, and even if she sold her shop, it would be difficult for her to raise a large sum of money in the short term. In this case, she had to ask her parents' family for help.
Ah Hong, like Ah Cai, is her confidant brought from her natal family.
She wrote a letter in her own hand and asked Ah Hong to take the letter in person and rush to Shicheng, which would take a long time to reach by car, and borrow 5,000 taels of silver from her family in her name for emergency purposes.
Her natal family is the richest man in Shicheng, so they can get the money. But after all, she is a married daughter, and now the head of her natal family is her younger brother to whom she is not very close, so asking for it is definitely not possible, she can only borrow it.
It's rare for her to open her mouth, and her family will definitely agree...
Judging from the time, Ah Hong should have arrived last night. If we talk about things today, we should be able to come back tomorrow. If everything goes well, maybe when we wake up tomorrow morning, the money will be in place.
Five thousand taels is enough to temporarily solve the family's urgent needs, enough to redeem the eldest grandson and the mortgaged shop, settle the lawsuit, and if there is any left, it can be used to appease Feng'er...
Mrs. Qian was quite cautious. She was worried that Ah Hong would come back late tomorrow and miss the redemption person, so she asked Aunt Cai to find the person who gave the money to him overnight.
She borrowed a thousand taels of silver with a lot of interest...
At dawn, the Qian family hurriedly went to exchange for gold again, and then began to wait anxiously.
However, I waited until the afternoon and still did not receive a letter from the kidnappers.
Of course they can't wait.
Because Tao Ran is really busy now.
Busy... robbing.
Was it robbed? Of course it is still the money of the Qian family!
Tao Ran has never been cruel to the Qian family, but instead made a fuss around them. For what reason?
Isn’t it silver?
The more she saw this bleak world, the more she wanted to make money.
Work hard to make money!
If possible, she hopes to vacate the entire Qian family!
Let the wealthy family members, who have always been well-off and well-off, feel the pain of having no money, and let them become ordinary people like Jin Gui, whom they despise the most!
She even wants to use the money to help really poor and innocent people!
Tao Ran and her people have been keeping an eye on the Qian family.
Tao Ran had long understood the gang of people going in and out of the bank and pawn shop.
Of course she also knew that Mrs. Qian's family background meant that she still had potential to be tapped.
There was quite a stir when Aunt Hong left the house. Five thousand taels of silver was not a small amount. For the safety of her trip, she brought several servants with her. How could Tao Ran not know about such a big battle? He had already sent people to keep an eye on it.
Now she has someone who has money and transportation, but they are just across the city, so naturally she will do her best to accompany them.
Tao Ran was happy when he found out that Grandma Hong was going to Mrs. Qian's natal home.
If she didn't fight this calamity, she would be sorry for herself.
So this time she must succeed!
Her people kept an eye on Grandma Hong's return route, mobilized almost most of the combat power on the mountain, made multiple robbery plans, and set up multiple ambush methods.
Guessing that the amount of money involved must be quite large, they set up roadblocks to ensure they could rob safely to avoid being disturbed by other people.
In a wild area, their people pressed forward with all their strength.
Although the Qian family brought six people to protect them, they were all captured alive.
After Tao Ran received the five thousand taels of silver notes, she hurried to the provincial capital. She had to exchange the notes and break them into pieces before Qian's family found out.
In this age without surveillance, doing bad things is fun.
Coupled with her superb makeup skills, she can almost run wild.
The 5,000-tael silver notes were all in 1,000-tael pieces. Tao Ran was not afraid of trouble at all and went to three branches of the same bank to exchange part of the money at each bank.
Soon, the five banknotes turned into a stack of small-denomination banknotes.
She transferred part of the banknotes to another bank and exchanged part of them for gold and silver, successfully making the money nowhere to be traced...
As for Aunt Hong and others, they were knocked unconscious by their people and temporarily thrown into the mountains. I don't think they will be able to return to Qian's house before tonight.
Just like last time, most of the Qian family's carriage was dismantled and all practical items were taken away. Even the souvenirs given by Mrs. Qian's family were not spared...
It was already afternoon when Tao Ran returned from the provincial capital.
Seeing that the sun was going to set in another hour, Tao Ran returned to Yancheng. Just like yesterday, she sent someone to send a letter to the Qian family.
The Qian family had been waiting all day. Mrs. Qian didn't think about food or tea, so she only drank a few cups of ginseng soup.
At this moment, the kidnapper finally came back with news, and the old lady Qian, who had been twitching her eyelids all day, could finally relax.
"The man in black asked me to convey the transaction in front of the White Horse Temple in two-quarters of an hour." The man's words made the old lady panic again. Two-quarters of an hour? Only two-quarters of an hour?
Even if we set off now, it will still take a quarter of an hour to reach the White Horse Temple!
And White Horse Temple... White Horse Temple is located in the main city area. At this time, there are probably not many people in front of White Horse Temple! Do you trade in that kind of place?
"He said, you all know the rules. You can bring a car with a maximum of two people, and no more than three people can enter the White Horse Temple. If you report to the official, if you exceed the number of people, if you are late, if there is something wrong with the gold, or if the Qian family fails again,
If you cheat, the transaction will be cancelled."
"The man also said that this will be the Qian family's last chance to rescue people. Let you consider what you do! Otherwise, you will regret it."
No matter how angry Mrs. Qian was, she could only ask people to prepare quickly.
The enemy is making it clear and she is hiding it, so she doesn't give them any chance to negotiate! All she can do is obey.
No matter how tight the time was, they had no time to think of other solutions... This time, there was no chance of an ambush.
Mrs. Qian was really worried and planned to pick up her grandson in person.
After praying all the way, the carriage finally arrived at the White Horse Temple ahead of schedule.
Going forward is the way up the mountain.
After a few dozen more breaths on the carriage, we arrived at the White Horse Temple.
Mrs. Qian raised her head and sighed.
In such a terrain, the kidnappers must have been looking down at them at this moment.
On this mountain road, how many people came in total, and how many people came up the mountain. Whether there was an ambush or a deception, the kidnappers above must have seen clearly.
If the kidnappers discover something is wrong and cancel the transaction, it will be a small matter, but if Feng'er is harmed, it will be serious.
So although she was obviously passive now, Mrs. Qian had to leave the dozen or so people she brought with her. She took two people from the house with her and rode a carriage up the mountain road...
