As he cursed and cursed, Hai Wenbin became more and more angry, and immediately wanted to steal things and hit the kidnappers.
Chai Yan saw Hai Wenbin picking a stone and asked casually: "Are you going to kill them?"
Hai Wenbin picked up the stone and said angrily: "These bastards killed my bookboy and boatman. They deserve to be smashed to death!"
With that said, Hai Wenbin walked up to the four of them holding a stone. The only kidnapper who had not fainted was so frightened that he hurriedly held his head and begged for mercy and started crying.
Chai Yan didn't mean to stop him, he just watched calmly.
"Stop!" Hang Baiqiu suddenly shouted, walked to Hai Wenbin and stopped him.
Hai Wenbin asked Hang Baiqiu: "What are you doing to stop me? These people deserve their punishment. I want to avenge my book boy and the boatman!"
Hang Baiqiu said seriously: "Hai Wenbin, these people have been captured without mercy and handed over to the county government. They will definitely be sentenced severely! But if you kill them now, you will have violated the law and will become a murderer!"
"This..." Hai Wenbin hesitated immediately and lowered the stone he had raised slightly.
Hang Baiqiu continued to persuade: "Listen to me, put the stone down and calm down."
Hai Wenbin thought for a while and was just about to put down the stone when he heard Chai Yan on the side say: "It's okay if you don't smash them to death..."
"Yes!"
Hai Wenbin woke up immediately, raised the stone and walked around Hang Baiqiu, and then hit the kidnapper brother hard on the calf.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a high-pitched scream rang out, and the kidnapper brother, who was still dizzy just now, woke up from the pain.
Hang Baiqiu was a little annoyed and looked at Chai Yan angrily: "What's the matter with you?"
Chai Yan said nonchalantly: "Is there any problem? Kidnapping means kidnapping, but these guys have to kill people. This is what they deserve!"
"Yes, you deserve it!" Hai Wenbin agreed very much with Chai Yan's words, and his favorable impression of Chai Yan immediately improved a lot.
Cheng Jiu also nodded and said: "Sir Hang, I think so too. Evil people should have evil retribution!"
Seeing that everyone had the same opinion, Hang Baiqiu stopped talking.
Hai Wenbin asked: "Master Wudesi, how is Ah Fu? Is he okay?"
Hai Wenbin didn't know Chai Yan's surname, so he called him Mr. Wu Desi.
"Afu?" Chai Yan was startled for a moment, and immediately understood who Hai Wenbin was asking: "Is the Afu you are talking about Fosvit?"
"It's him, is he okay?" Hai Wenbin asked with concern.
Chai Yan nodded and said, "Everything is fine with him, don't worry."
"That's good, that's good..." Hai Wenbin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, someone came outside the house. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Guan Maochun leading Yuan Zhixian, Huatianong and four government servants.
Yuan Zhixian saw Hai Wenbin before he came in, and immediately shouted happily: "Master Hai, so you are really here?"
Hua Tiannong, who was following behind, also asked: "Master Hai, are you injured?"
Hai Wenbin turned around and his face lit up with joy, and he immediately greeted him: "Master Yuan, Huadian Shi..."
The Hai family is the richest family in Liuju City. When the three of them meet, they inevitably express some words of care and worry.
After finishing speaking, the three of them came to Chai Yan and the others and bowed their hands to express their gratitude to everyone.
Then, Magistrate Yuan ordered the four kidnappers to be tied up and taken back to the county government office, and everyone also left the Lu family's old residence.
----------------------------------
Less than half an hour later......
Haijia Residence, main hall.
At the invitation of Hai Wenbin, Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu came to Hai's house, accompanied by Yuan Zhixian.
As for Hua Tiannong, he took his people back to the county office first to interrogate the four kidnappers.
After hearing that Hai Wenbin was kidnapped by kidnappers last night, his parents and family members were all frightened, especially Hai Wenbin's grandmother, whose face turned pale with fright and her body was trembling all the time.
After Hai Wenbin's family said several baskets of thanks, they asked the housekeeper to bring a thick stack of banknotes as a reward and repayment.
Chai Yan did not go to receive the banknote, but looked at Hai Wenbin and said seriously: "Master Hai, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
"Of course." Hai Wenbin nodded and followed Chai Yan outside the hall.
Chai Yan asked straight to the point: "Master Hai, do you still remember which port Futhwaite disembarked from?"
Hai Wenbin thought for a while and replied: "I remember that Forthvitt got off the ship at Tingzhou Port. When I met him, he seemed to be going to the capital."
"Tingzhou Port..." Chai Yan secretly remembered this place name.
Hai Wenbin asked curiously: "Lord Wu Desi, is it because of what happened yesterday that Forthwaite wants to return to his hometown?"
"That's not..." Chai Yan shook his head and said: "The main reason is that Vothvitt mentioned a delicious food, which made me a little greedy, so I wanted to send someone to Tingzhou Port to buy some.
."
Chai Yan would not disclose the true value of potatoes for the time being, so he lied that he was greedy and wanted to eat some.
"Master Wudesi, can you tell me what's delicious?" Hai Wenbin asked hurriedly.
Chai Yan said: "It's something called potatoes. Have you heard of it?"
"Potato? I've never heard of this thing..." Hai Wenbin couldn't help but shook his head when he heard about it for the first time.
Chai Yan hurriedly described the appearance of potatoes in detail and said: "Potatoes are also called potatoes, or potatoes..."
Hai Wenbin thought while listening, and after a pause he said: "Mr. Wu Desi, I should have seen the thing you are talking about, but it is not called potato, nor potato or potato...
..”
"Really? Then what do you call it?" Chai Yan perked up and asked hurriedly.
Hai Wenbin said: "We all call it ground eggs, which should be the potatoes you mentioned."
Ground egg! It grows from the ground, round and like an egg...
Chai Yan thought about it seriously and thought that the name was indeed quite appropriate.
Hai Wenbin asked in confusion: "Master Wudesi, are the ground eggs delicious? Why do I think the taste is so ordinary..."
Chai Yan said with a smile: "It depends on how it is made. If it is done well, it will still taste very good."
After saying that, Chai Yan asked Hai Wenbin: "Master Hai, since you have eaten ground eggs, you should know where to buy them in Tingzhou, right?"
Hai Wenbin nodded immediately: "I know! My family's shop in Tingzhou sold ground eggs, but unfortunately the sales were not good, and they stopped selling them later."
"Really? That's great. I want to buy it. Can you do me a favor?" Chai Yan was a little excited.
Hai Wenbin said cheerfully: "No problem, I'll tell my dad right now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hai Wenbin hurried back to the hall and asked: "Dad, Lord Wudesi wants to buy some eggs to eat back home. Please hurry up and have them shipped from Tingzhou."
"Want to eat ground eggs?" Hai Wenbin's father was stunned for a moment, then said: "That's easy to handle! We have a bunch of them in the warehouse at home! Why do we need to go to Tingzhou to transport them?"
Chai Yan, who had just entered the main hall, became excited when he heard it: "Really? Take me to see it quickly!"
Hai Wenbin's father was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Sir, please come this way..."
"Please!" Chai Yan was very happy. After saying a polite word, he walked out from the side door of the main hall accompanied by Hai Wenbin's father.
Hai Wenbin saw this and hurriedly followed.
Hang Baiqiu, who was sitting in the hall, looked at Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun and asked in confusion: "What is a ground egg?"
Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun thought about it seriously, then shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of such a thing.
