"Second girl, have you found your eldest sister?" Seeing Bai Ling come back, Bai Sanshu ran out of the hall quickly and asked eagerly.
Bai Ling didn't need to answer. Bai Sanshu had already searched around and knew the answer.
Liu Zhenyou in the room also stood up eagerly. He was more rational than Bai Sanshu. After making sure that Baicao didn't come back with him, he sighed and sat down.
Words of concern at this time do not have to be said out loud, otherwise it will only make everyone more worried.
"How is my mother?" Bai Ling asked, supporting the dumb Bai Sanshu as he walked into the hall.
"Your mother is still asleep, Xing'er and Forsythia are watching over her," Bai Sanshu replied.
"Dad, don't worry too much. I've already sent someone to find the eldest sister. She has more methods and more people than the people in our house." Bai Ling comforted her palely.
As long as you don't find someone, how can you feel at ease?
Bai Sanshu nodded heavily. At this time, he understood his incompetence more deeply.
If something happens to my daughter, not only can I not be able to help, but I have to rely on other children to search, rescue and comfort her.
"Dad knows that you siblings have a good relationship and will definitely do your best. Your eldest sister..." Bai Sanshu's eyes were red and he paused for a while before saying: "She is also sensible. She knows that you are so dedicated.
I won’t blame you either.”
Bai Sanshu's words made Bai Ling feel a little heavier. The worst result was something she didn't dare to imagine.
Baicao has been married to the capital for a year and has no enemies except Tan Xuehua.
But the Tan family showed no abnormal behavior, and Bai Ling did not dare to put everyone there to investigate, so as not to delay the best opportunity to rescue Baicao.
Bai Ling also thought that her enemies might have done it, but half a day passed without any clues to guide her. Obviously, this assumption did not exist.
"Second girl, there was a little beggar outside the door who passed a message, saying that the second girl should give her one million taels of silver and go to the Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city alone." The concierge trotted over and said while wiping his sweat.
"Where is the person? What words are left?" Bai Ling stood up and asked anxiously.
"After saying these two sentences, the little beggar left. I asked someone to chase him. I don't know if he can catch him." The concierge replied.
"Well done, go to the housekeeper to receive the reward yourself." Seeing that Bai Ling couldn't get anything out of the question, he asked the concierge to leave.
There are secret guards in Bai Mansion. Even though most of the people were sent to find Baicao, the secret guards did not retreat.
One reason is that Bai Ling was afraid that such a situation would happen and delay tracking useful clues.
The second is that something has already happened to one person, and no one else in the family can have an accident. The role of the secret guard is much greater than that of nursing home.
"Second girl, you can't go." Seeing Bai Ling about to leave, Bai Sanshu grabbed her and said, "The people who kidnapped your eldest sister are targeting you! If you go alone, where will you go?"
Can you come back? Your eldest sister is not sure what her situation is now. Dad may have lost a daughter, and he cannot be without another one!"
"Your father is right, your mother can't stand the excitement now. The person who sent the message clearly wants to deal with you. If something happens to you again, your eldest sister will not be able to be saved." Liu Zhenyou also did not agree with Bai Ling taking risks.
"Second sister, let me go. Maybe I'm afraid that I won't be able to cope with just you as a woman. I'm young, and people won't be wary of me if I go." Bai Xiaoshan puffed up his chest and said, "I am a member of the family.
My only son, it’s up to me to rescue the woman. If I can’t even protect my own sister, I don’t have the shame to be the county magistrate.”
"No, the other party has appointed me to go, so there is no room for negotiation on this matter. You all wait at home, and I will definitely bring my eldest sister back safely." Bai Ling refused seriously: "I have a way to protect myself.
, please believe me, there is really no one more suitable than me to go."
"Dad will go with you!" Bai Sanshu wiped his face and said, "Dad is just a farmer. Even if there is an extra dad, he won't let those people worry too much. Dad can't let you take risks alone."
"Where is the secret guard?" Bai Ling frowned and shouted.
The other party only gave the address, but not a specific time. Bai Ling did not dare to delay any longer, so he could only ask the secret guard to appear to reassure his family.
Two black figures appeared, kneeling on one knee beside Bai Ling, waiting for instructions.
When the Bai family saw the secret guards for the first time, they were startled and realized that the self-protection Bai Ling was talking about was referring to these two people.
"Daughter, they have good skills, but there are too few people. What if..." Bai Sanshu wanted to say something more, but Bai Xiaoshan held him back.
"Dad, even if our nursing home comes over, they may not be able to defeat these two people. If they can't protect the second sister, adding one more person will cause trouble for them and put the second sister in danger.
"Bai Xiaoshan has learned a lot after all and hurriedly persuaded him.
"I will bring poison to defend myself. Can dad rest assured now?" Bai Ling asked.
"Then...okay." Bai Sanshu looked at the secret guard tangledly, and ordered Bai Ling: "Bring them some medicine, I'm afraid you won't have time to use it."
"Okay." Bai Ling responded and immediately went back to the room.
The other party wanted one million taels of silver, so Bai Ling naturally had it in her hand, but she couldn't take it out at this time, so she could only go back to the house and pretend.
Under the worried eyes of his family, Bai Ling asked someone to put the carriage on and headed towards the west of the city.
At the same time, the people who were following the little beggar also found the beggar's nest, and naturally discovered Baicao's whereabouts.
It's just that there are too many beggars, and even if the secret guards are good at it, they don't dare to act without permission, for fear that they won't be able to rescue Bai Cao immediately after being entangled, but will instead get her injured or give her a bad reputation.
Let us say that after Bai Ling arrived at the City God's Temple, he asked the coachman to wait outside and entered the City God's Temple himself.
However, there was no one in the City God's Temple. Bai Ling waited for nearly a stick of incense when he heard the sound of objects falling to the ground from outside, followed by the sound of footsteps walking towards the City God's Temple.
After taking a closer look, I saw that the beggar walking in the front looked familiar, followed by two wretched-looking beggars.
Bai Ling's heart sank. She was protected by secret guards and had space, so she was naturally not afraid.
But when Baicao meets such a person, will he be...
"I brought the banknotes, where is my eldest sister?" Bai Ling squatted on the ground, holding a bundle in one hand and several banknotes in the other.
In front of Bai Ling, straw was burning in a broken basin. As long as she stretched her arm forward, the banknotes would be ignited.
"I have to see if the bank note is real or fake first. Who knows if you can cheat others." Wang Dazhi looked at the baggage, his eyes shining.
One million taels of silver notes. With all this money, are you still afraid that you will not have a good life in the future?
With money, you can marry any woman, even if you spare the life of that bitch Baicao.
"I won't let you verify the banknotes without seeing anyone. I would rather turn the banknotes into ashes than give them to you just like this." Bai Ling said, and lit a few banknotes on fire.
Listening to Wang Dazhi's somewhat familiar voice, Bai Ling couldn't remember where he had seen it before. He looked carefully but couldn't recognize it.
"Your eldest sister is in the ghost house, don't burn the banknotes! They are all ours!" Seeing this, the other two beggars shouted in pain before Wang Dazhi could say anything.
"A haunted house?" Bai Ling searched his memory and didn't know where it was.
"Stupid thing!" Wang Dazhi glared at the two beggars hatefully and shouted: "Tie her up quickly, otherwise she will really burn the bank notes and we won't get a penny." (
