After a while, the aunt brought three more silver notes of one hundred taels and handed them to Yuan, and asked her to save Peony too.
Chai Yan thought that everything in Yu Zhongheng's family looked quite ordinary, but he didn't expect that his financial strength was so strong. He could easily take out a thousand taels of silver without blinking an eye!
Chai Yan asked in surprise: "Auntie, this is a thousand taels of silver! Aren't you afraid that the two of us will take the money and do nothing, or abscond with the money?"
Before the aunt opened her mouth to speak, Yuan Yuan scolded her first: "Try it!"
Chai Yan glanced at her and said calmly: "Why are you in such a hurry? Am I that kind of person? I'm just very curious as to why the aunt can see so clearly that we both keep our word and do what we say at a glance.
of the people!”
The aunt then said: "Girl, Master, if you two can come all the way to return the young master's things, the aunt will see that you are good people who are kind, righteous and responsible... Of course, it is also our fault.
There is no one available at home. If I were still healthy enough, I would definitely not trouble you two to take such a risk...I'm really sorry..."
"Auntie, you don't need to say any more. We will leave the matter of Young Master Yu to us! In the past two days, we will first inquire about the situation of the water thieves in Taiping Lake, and then we will redeem him as soon as the city gate opens the next day! We will definitely get Young Master Yu by then.
Master and servant, send me home safely!"
Yuan Yuan's tone was decisive. Since she had promised, she would definitely get the thing done.
"That's great, thank you. Thank you so much!" The aunt was extremely grateful.
When he came out of Yu Mansion, Chai Yan exclaimed in surprise: "鸱鸱, you said that Yu Zhongheng's godmother-in-law is really big-hearted. He just grabbed us two strangers and paid the ransom. He gave him a thousand taels of silver."
, she didn’t even ask to see what you look like... I really don’t understand what rich people think..."
Yuan Yuan said: "This is called employing people without doubting them, but not trusting people with suspicion! Your mind is full of rogue ideas, I can't explain it to you!"
Then, Yuan Yuan wondered: "The problem now is where to find out about the water thieves in Taiping Lake. We are not familiar with the place and don't know..."
Chai Yan interrupted: "What are you asking about? I already know where Yu Zhongheng is. Why don't we leave the city and go to Taiping Lake early? Maybe there will be a chance to secretly rescue the person..."
Chai Yan had a wishful thinking in his mind. If he secretly rescued the person, he would be able to save the five hundred taels of ransom, and the Yu family would definitely have to use part of it to reward him.
In addition, if the water thieves who were responsible for the disaster were caught out of ignorance during the process of rescuing people, it would be hard to believe that handing over the water thieves who caused trouble to the government would not result in a reward!
"You know? How do you know?" Yuanyuan looked at Chai Yan in surprise.
"I figured it out..." Chai Yan immediately put on the face of a good fortune teller and asked pretending to be surprised: "Hey, didn't I tell you what my special skill is?"
Yuan Yuan shook his head dullly: "No..."
"Then let's talk while walking..."
Chai Yan took Yuan and walked toward the east city gate. At the same time, he began to talk endlessly about his ability to "calculate evil positions" and how powerful and accurate it was.
When she came to Huzhou City from Anping County, Yuan Yuan only knew that there was a kind of green bean in Chai Yan's gourd that could make people invulnerable and increase their strength. However, this was the first time she heard that the location of the owner of the blood stain could be calculated based on the blood stain.
, the expression of disbelief lasted for a long time.
It wasn't until Chai Yan explained the details of the cases he solved in Anping County one by one that Yuan Yuan believed 50% of them.
Chai Yan had no choice but to say: "Just follow me. When you find the person later, you will naturally believe me!"
While talking, they walked out of the east city gate. They hired an ox cart and headed towards Taiping Lake.
"Uncle, I heard that there is a pavilion on the west side of Taiping Lake. Do you know that place?" Chai Yan asked as soon as he got in the car.
The uncle driving the bullock cart swung his whip to drive the cattle, and said without looking back: "I know, but that pavilion is old and dilapidated for many years. No one in the city has gone there to play there for a long time. You two want to go there."
What?"
"Yes, let's go there!" Yuyuan responded quickly.
Lu Yuan felt right as soon as he heard it. Isn't such a dilapidated and remote place a suitable place to pay the ransom?
"No, no, no, we are not going there, we are just curious and want to go to the south of the lake..."
As Chai Yan spoke, he gave Yuan a wink, which meant that you had to listen to him in which direction you should go!
The bullock cart drove for more than an hour, when Chai Yan called for a stop and then got off the cart with Yuan Yuan.
The oxcart uncle was puzzled, so he kindly said: "Sir, girl, there is no village in front of the village or a shop in the back. Do you really want to get off here?"
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Yes, uncle, my wife and I like to walk in places like this and enjoy the scenery, haha..."
While he was talking, Chai Yan had already paid the fare for the carriage, and then led Yuyuan toward the side road, ignoring the strange look from the uncle of the cart.
"Chai Yan, why are we going in the opposite direction?"
It was inconvenient for Yuan Yuan to ask in the car, but after getting off the bus, Yuan Yuan couldn't help it anymore and asked as soon as he was far away.
Chai Yan looked back at the bullock cart uncle and saw that he was driving the cart and turned around to leave, so he said: "I know what it says in the letter. It is true that the place to pay the ransom the day after tomorrow is the pavilion on the west side of Taiping Lake, but that is also the day after tomorrow.
Come on, there are still two days before the ransom is paid. Will the kidnappers take Yu Zhongheng there so early to stay? If you were a water thief, you would be stupid enough to set the place where the ransom is paid at Guan Meat Ticket.
Place?"
Yuan Yuan immediately shook his head. Chai Yan was right. The place where the ransom was paid was definitely not the place where Yu Zhongheng was imprisoned. Going to the pavilion in Huxi now would be in vain.
"Then you mean Mr. Yu is being imprisoned near here?" Yu Yuan asked.
"Idiot, didn't I tell you that I can calculate the location of Yu Zhongheng based on the blood stains..." Chai Yan pointed to the front of the path and said firmly: "Believe me, follow the path."
If we keep walking on this road, we will find Yu Zhongheng soon!"
Yuan Yuan looked at Chai Yan suspiciously for a while, and then continued to move forward in unison.
Half an hour later, the two reached the end of the path...
Seeing that there was no way to go, Yuanyuan suddenly became impatient. Suddenly he patted Chai Yan's arm and said, "Chai Yan, didn't you say that you can find Mr. Yu if you keep walking? Is this the calculated result?"
Chai Yan was so frightened that he hurriedly covered Yuan Yuan's mouth and nose with his hands. At the same time, he squatted down with her and lowered his voice: "Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you!"
