Wan Boping wiped his tears with his sleeves, and then told the whole story, but it was his eldest son Wan Tingchang who was kidnapped.
Hu Xiaotian was a little surprised that this happened suddenly. He thought that Wan Tingchang had already left Qingyun County, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen again.
Wan Boping took out a letter from his arms and said in a trembling voice: "Master Hu, just half an hour ago, someone suddenly sent this letter. I opened it and saw that it was from the horse thief in Tianlang Mountain.
, my poor child was kidnapped by them..."
Without saying a word, Hu Xiaotian took the letter and opened it, only to see that it was written very simply. In addition to stating that Wan Tingchang was in their hands, it also put forward conditions for Hu Xiaotian to go to Heishizhai in the west of the city as soon as possible to treat Yan Boguang's injuries.
After reading this letter, Hu Xiaotian completely understood. No wonder Wan Boping came to find him. The ultimate purpose of those gang of thieves holding his son hostage was to use this as a threat to let him help treat Yan Boguang. Hu Xiaotian secretly thought, could it be
Yan Boguang's condition has recurred again? But this thing is a bit strange. Why did they kidnap Wan Tingchang as a condition? Do they think Wan Tingchang's life is so important to them? What kind of fucking logic is this?
Wan Boping said pitifully: "Wan only has this son left, and I hope Mr. Hu can help me rescue him."
Hu Xiaotian said angrily: "Isn't the Second Young Master alive and well?"
This is like poking at Wan Boping's sore spot again. Although his second son Wan Tingsheng's life has been saved, he still can't remember the past. Speaking of complete sons, only the eldest son is left. Wan Boping approached Hu Xiaotian
He lowered his voice and said, "Master Hu. Actually, I know everything about last night."
Hu Xiaotian was slightly startled. He raised his head and looked at Wan Boping's secretive face. He cursed in his heart, what did this old fox mean by saying this? Could it be that he was threatening himself? Damn it, this old turtle really didn't know how to live or die. He actually talked to me.
Come on. Hu Xiaotian sat down on the Taishi chair, crossed his legs, and looked indifferent.
Wan Boping came to him: "Mr. Zhou is temporarily staying at my home. He didn't go back so late. Wan is naturally worried. Some things are not difficult to find out." The implication is that Zhou Wenju has already told what happened last night.
Told him everything.
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart. After all, Zhou Wenju leaked the news. It seemed that his explanation last night was not taken to heart. To say that Zhou Wenju is an honest man, when it comes to scheming and brains, he will definitely not be able to defeat the cunning and cunning Wan Boping.
, and there is a medicine boy Zhou Xing beside him. Even if Zhou Wenju doesn't tell, Zhou Xing can't keep the secret with his mouth.
Wan Boping said: "Master Hu, I will never spread the news about last night, sir, don't worry."
Hu Xiaotian looked at this guy with a sneer, as if he was doing him a favor. Do you think I'm afraid that you will spread the word? You actually used this matter as a reason to blackmail me? But then I thought about what I did to treat Yan Boguang last night.
It’s not a good thing. Although I am being coerced, once the news that I treated a horse thief gets out, at least I can be labeled as not reporting the information and aiding the evildoers. "
Hu Xiaotian said coldly: "Wan Yuanwai, did I hear you right? You are threatening me!"
Wan Boping said: "Master Hu, if you have worked hard and don't want this to cause trouble to Master Hu, I hope Master Hu can understand my difficulties. I swear to God, I have no intention of threatening you."
Hu Xiaotian smiled with some disdain. Wan Boping was really cunning. On the one hand, he used this matter to put pressure on himself, and on the other hand, he also wanted to sell favors to himself. He nodded slowly and said: "Man, I can leave it to you.
, It's just that I won't go to Blackstone Village." Of course Hu Xiaotian is not stupid. These bandits asked him to go there by name. In all likelihood, they were well prepared. If he took the risk of coming here like this, it would be equivalent to risking his own life.
It's not worth putting yourself in danger for Wan Tingchang.
Wan Boping said: "Sir Hu, I don't want you to take risks, but the horse thieves in Tianlang Mountain are fierce and cruel. They can do whatever they say. If you don't want to go, I'm afraid my son's life will be in danger..." He
As he spoke, he started to cry. Because his face was covered by his long robe and long sleeves, Hu Xiaotian couldn't see whether he was really crying or fake.
Hu Xiaotian cursed secretly, your son's life is life, but my life is not life. I don't owe you Wanjia anything, why should I take risks for your bastard son?
Wan Boping wiped away his tears and said: "Sir, I think they asked you to come over by name. They may not want to harm you. After all, you saved this horse thief's life. They should have some humanity. They should know how to show kindness.
Picture report. I have no other choice, so I came here to beg you, sir. If my son can be successfully rescued this time, I hope you can take on the task of rebuilding the Qingyun Bridge." Wan Boping knew that he could not trap the wolf if he did not want to bear the child.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't be impressed without some blood, so he quickly offered up a condition that he thought was tempting.
Hu Xiaotian sneered and said, "Does Wan Yuanwai think that just a Qingyun Bridge can impress me?" It's not cost-effective to buy a bridge for one life. How could Hu Xiaotian be willing to do such a loss-making business?
Wan Boping lowered his voice and said: "If you are willing to help rescue my son, I will report this matter to Mr. Yang of Xiezhou Prefecture and do my best to promote you to a higher position." He was clearly hinting to Hu Xiaotian that as long as he helps this time,
After rescuing his son, he would use his connections to help Hu Xiaotian secure the position of Qingyun County Magistrate. In Wan Boping's view, this was an irresistible temptation, but he didn't know that Hu Xiaotian's background and identity simply disdained it.
Hu Xiaotian stood up and said, "Let me think about it carefully!"
Wan Boping said: "Sir... time is urgent, we can't think about it anymore. These horse thieves are inhumane. If we go too late, I'm afraid my son's life will be in danger..." He started to cry again as he spoke.
Hu Xiaotian had already strode to the window.
Wan Boping followed Hu Xiaotian out like a shadow, and when he saw Hu Xiaotian looking out the window in silence, he knew that he was hesitating, and for a while he didn't dare to get close.
Hu Xiaotian stopped and thought for a while, and finally waved to Wan Boping.
Only then did Wan Boping dare to come to him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "These horse thieves are all vicious desperadoes. Why don't you report them to the government?"
Wan Boping said in fear: "Master Hu, this matter must not be reported to the government. If the horse thief discovers any trouble, my son's life will be in danger."
Hu Xiaotian said: "How can you conclude that they have captured your son? How do you know if they are deliberately defrauding you?"
Wan Boping took out a strand of hair from his arms and said in a trembling voice: "My son has a strand of red hair, and I won't admit it. They said that if they don't see you within three hours, they will give up one of my son's hair."
Send me the finger." Hu Xiaotian secretly laughed in his heart, let alone a finger, even if all ten of Wan Tingchang's fingers were cut off, I would not feel it was a pity.
Seeing that Hu Xiaotian was still hesitant, Wan Boping said in a low voice: "Your Excellency has excellent medical skills and will definitely be able to cure that horse thief."
Hu Xiaotian sneered: "Wan Yuanwai, you are so brave, you actually asked me to rescue a horse thief."
Wan Bo calmly said that you had already rescued him last night, so why are you pretending to be innocent now? He had already made up his mind that if Hu Xiaotian was willing to risk it for himself this time, it would be fine. If he refused to go and endangered his son's life, he would
I am determined to fight him to the death, and I will not show any kindness.
Hu Xiaotian patted the window sill lightly and said, "I have pity on the parents in the world. I hope your unfulfilled son can understand." He slowly sat down on the Taishi chair.
Wan Boping didn't know whether he agreed or not, so he said carefully: "Sir... your decision is..."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If I save your son, you must help me build the Qingyun Bridge." There is no need to beat around the bush when negotiating terms with an old and cunning businessman like Wan Boping, so Hu Xiaotian proposed nakedly
His own conditions. Hu Xiaotian didn't care about the position of county magistrate. Xu Qinglian was no match for him. That position would be his sooner or later, and there was no need for Wan Boping to do it for him.
Wan Boping nodded and said: "Okay!"
Hu Xiaotian added: "If you want me to treat him, you have to obey my arrangements. I won't go to Blackstone Village. Who knows if they have set a trap to deceive me?"
Wan Boping said: "Sir Hu, Heishizhai is a village where the Black Miao people live together. It is located fifteen miles west of Qingyun City. The Black Miao people there are warm and hospitable and have always been at peace with Qingyun. The leader of the village is Teng Tian.
Qi and I have also had some interactions, and they have no contact with the horse thieves in Tianlang Mountain. The horse thieves in Tianlang Mountain never dare to go there to cause trouble. It can be said that you should not encounter any danger when going to Black Stone Village."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Let them send people here, otherwise there will be no need to discuss anything."
When Wan Boping saw that Hu Xiaotian was still insisting, he burst into tears and said: "Master Hu, Wan knows that his request is a bit excessive, but the horse thieves in Langshan that day were not easy to talk to. If they can't comply with their wishes, I'm afraid my son's
My life can't be saved. Mr. Hu, you only need to help me this time. Wan will make a grass ring in the future and repay you with all your strength."
Hu Xiaotian softened when he heard Wan Boping's words reached such an extent. After all, this incident happened because of him. What's more, the other party wanted something from him this time. He shouldn't dare to risk Yan Boguang's life. He went
There shouldn't be any danger in Blackstone Village.
Wan Boping said: "Master Hu, I will dispatch six experts from home to accompany you to make sure that you are safe and sound."
Hu Xiaotian smiled, what could Wan Boping's group of people guarantee? If there really was a fight, the servants would be too busy to take care of themselves, and they would not be able to talk about protecting their own safety. He whispered: "You go back first
Well, I'll go over there as soon as possible to check on the situation."
Wan Boping knew that Hu Xiaotian had finally agreed to him, and he couldn't help being surprised and happy. He burst into tears and said: "My lord's great kindness, Wan will never forget it, but your lord must remember that this matter cannot be known to the government. God
Langshan has many eyes and ears, so as long as the government’s soldiers and horses move, they will definitely know about it, and then my son’s life will be in danger.”
Hu Xiaotian said calmly: "You go back first, I will handle this matter."
I am asking for recommendation votes on Monday, and I sincerely ask everyone to vote for me so that the medical system can be on the recommendation list.
