In order to keep Xiner safe and to prove Fang's sincerity, Muchuan must first pay 40% of the ransom, which is four thousand taels of gold!
"Hero, I don't know what to do?
I will give you four thousand taels of gold as a deposit first, and if I can ensure that Xiner is free when the formal transaction is made tomorrow, I will give you another six thousand taels of gold as well."
"This... looks like this, of course there is no problem."
The man with narrowed eyes was also surprised. He has been in this business for so long that he has never heard of anyone paying the ransom in advance. Normal landowners and officials would delay as long as they can, but they are not as cheerful as "sworn brother".
!It seems that this "sworn brother" really regards Miss Fang's family as very important!
It would be a good thing if the ransom could be obtained earlier. Otherwise, things might change later. To avoid long nights and nightmares, it is better to get the money first.
"Hero, if there's no problem, just do it like this. It's just that it may take half a stick of incense to prepare the ransom. I hope you can wait a little."
"It doesn't matter! I'll just wait here."
"Hero, while you are waiting for the process, in order to prevent you from getting tired, I will prepare some food and wine for you. After all, it is not easy to negotiate after traveling all the way."
After Muchuan finished speaking, he waved to the maids.
At that moment, two maids held fine wine and food in their hands, placing them in front of the narrow-eyed man.
However, the man with narrowed eyes did not eat it immediately, but looked at the food and wine warily. It seemed that he suspected that Muchuan might have drugged it.
Muchuan was very generous and directly picked up the food and wine to eat. While eating, he said: "Don't worry, hero, these are normal wine and food. Isn't my sister still in your hands?"
I don't dare to play any tricks, otherwise it will only harm my sister."
"Hehe, this sworn brother is exactly what he said!"
By then, the man with narrowed eyes was all wary, and he was enjoying the delicious food with wine in hand.
While eating, he also praised Muchuan for his exquisite appearance and understanding of the world, which was very pleasant.
"Don't worry, sworn brother. You are such a good person and we will definitely not hurt Miss Fang. As long as you pay the money honestly, we will definitely abide by the moral principles and let him go. After all, it is not easy for everyone."
"Exactly, exactly, haha..." Muchuan responded cheerfully, and enjoyed wine and food with the narrow-eyed man, heartily.
If others saw this scene without knowing it, they would think that Muchuan and the man with narrowed eyes were brothers.
After three rounds of drinking, the white horse came into play, and the cashiers had prepared the four thousand taels of gold.
You must know that four thousand taels of gold is very heavy and can hold two large wooden boxes.
The man with squinted eyes opened the box and took a look. It was indeed golden gold, arranged neatly and his eyes were blinding!
Get rich, get rich! The narrow-eyed man shouted hysterically in his heart. As a thief, he had never seen so much gold. He never thought that he could make so much money from kidnapping the eldest daughter of the Fang family.
However, there are two large boxes of gold. How can the man with squinting eyes move them back?
He felt troubled for a moment, because after all, he didn't expect Muchuan to hand over the ransom in advance.
Muchuan seemed to know the trouble of the narrow-eyed man, and waved his hand in a considerate manner: "Hero, you can't move the gold, right?
It's not difficult, our Fang family has already prepared a carriage for you."
"oh?"
The man with narrowed eyes was shocked. He didn't expect Muchuan to be so considerate. He was like a good brother!
Afterwards, you could see a carriage parked in front of the Fang family's mansion, and four servants worked together to move two boxes of gold into the carriage.
Sitting on the horse, the man with narrowed eyes looked very happy. He didn't expect that the negotiation went so smoothly and he even got part of the ransom. If he went back, the boss would have to praise him.
The man with narrowed eyes lowered his head and smiled and said to Muchuan: "Sister-in-law, you did a good job... Because of your boldness, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you, the daughter of the Fang family! After accepting the money, I will definitely
Return your sister."
"So good."
"Then we will meet again tomorrow and we will do business at the designated place."
After saying that, the man with squinting eyes held the reins in his hand and drove the horse away.
Muchuan was smiling and waving goodbye from behind, as if he was sending off his relatives and friends.
When the narrow-eyed man completely disappeared from the street, Muchuan's face couldn't help but turn cold, the thief was finally gone.
In order to greet the thief, Muchuan poured tea and said nice words all the way, but it was tiring! But there was nothing he could do, after all, this was also part of his plan.
However, when he returned to the Fang family's mansion, a white-haired old man wearing a gray robe walked out angrily.
"Sir, Master Mu! Why do you want to give away all the gold of our Fang family? Even if you are an official of the imperial court, you cannot do this!"
This white-haired old man is Fang's accountant and Fang Cheng's distant uncle.
The four thousand taels of gold that had just been given to the thieves were taken out from the Fang family's account. That's why Mr. Accountant was so angry. After all, this is all the Fang family's property.
Muchuan smiled awkwardly, waved his hand and said, "Old sir, please be patient. I have a reason for this."
"reason?
What else could it be? Do you know what stupid thing you did?"
When the clerk spoke, he was waving a dragon-headed crutch in his hand, as if he was about to hit Muchuan with the crutch.
When the shop assistants nearby saw this, they stepped forward to stop him. They were afraid that Mr. Changfang would really hurt Muchuan.
You must know that Muchuan is a popular person in front of the emperor, the imperial household minister and the youngest number one scholar in history. With such status, anyone who hurts him will be held accountable by the imperial court.
It can be life-threatening at worst, and it can cause the entire clan to be together.
The servants didn't want to be implicated by the accountant, so naturally they couldn't let him hurt Muchuan.
Muchuan himself acted indifferently, sitting on the main chair and drinking tea leisurely, and said: "Old sir, don't be angry, am I not doing this to save Xin'er?
Xin'er is a young lady from the Fang family, so of course your Fang family has to help."
"Even if you save someone, you don't need four thousand taels of gold. Do you know how much gold our Fang family earns throughout the year?
As a result, you spent all your money on this big deal!"
"If money is gone, you can make it again. What's there to worry about...Besides, it's not like you can't get the money back, so just calm down."
Muchuan acted calmly and didn't care at all about the four thousand taels of gold he spent.
This is natural, since it was not Muchuan's money that was spent anyway, he definitely doesn't care, the only person who cares is Mr. Accountant!
As a distant relative of the Fang family, Mr. Accountant is in charge of the store's money. From time to time, he can make money from this money to enrich his life.
