Chapter 653

Wei Qian was silly, "why, why?"

Because she can't feel the smell of someone.

This summer Xi didn't say, the cool vision looked around, "the place is they agreed, since didn't come, there is only one possibility."

"What is possible?"

"They want to raise the ransom."

"What?"

Wei Qian couldn't help exclaiming that the whole life of his family was still unclear. If he wanted to talk about it again, he would not dare to think about it any more.

"Maybe..."

Xia Xi said half, did not say any more, changed his mouth, "let's go, go back."

"I, I'll drive the horse and carriage."

Wei Qian was not afraid or worried. He stammered.

Xia Xi didn't object. She gave him the reins and went to the carriage by herself.

Late at night, the sound of horses on the ground is particularly loud, daddada, disturbing Wei Qian's nerves. He opened his mouth several times and tried to say something, but he didn't say a word.

There was nothing to say all the way. After entering the village, it was late in the night.

The light was still on at home. When the carriage arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Wei Qian had just stepped out of the carriage with the word "Xu". Before he jumped down from the carriage, the door of the house was opened with a squeak. Wei Cai strode out of the house. "You've come back, haven't the children received it?"

Wei Qian was surprised, "how do you know?"

"Half an hour ago, someone sent a letter saying that we would raise the ransom to five hundred Liang, otherwise we would never see the child again."

"Five hundred Liang, why don't they rob it?"

For the first time in his life, Wei Qian became angry. They were just ordinary farmers. Even if several of them went to work, they could not save a few taels of silver a year.

Five hundred taels! This is forcing their family to die.

"It's like robbing."

Xia Xi comes down from the carriage and walks to the house. The driver who has been sitting in the hall comes out quickly. After greeting Xia Xi, he goes to pick up Wei Qian's reins.

Inside the house, the whole family is there. The village head looks up at Xia Xi, his eyes are red, and Wei Lian is crying in her mother's arms.

"Don't worry, the child will be OK."

"But..."

The village head shook his mouth and tried to restrain his anger.

He has been the head of the village for so many years, but he has never done anything wrong to the villagers. On the contrary, he has devoted himself to making profits for the villagers.

Who wants to kill their family? Five hundred taels! Even if they sold all their families, they could not get so much money.

"In that sentence, I have the silver. No matter how much the kidnappers want, I'll take it out. Now the only thing to do is to have a good rest. Don't break down."

"If the child doesn't come back, how can we have a good rest."

The village head's daughter-in-law also cried hoarse voice, laboriously said this sentence, then couldn't help coughing.

Wei Qian's daughter-in-law beat her back in silence.

"And the letter? Let me see. "

The head of the village gave her the letter on the table, with only one line on it: "the ransom will be changed to five hundred Liang. When will the transaction be made? Wait for our notice."

"Who sent it?"

"I don't know."

Wei Cai replied, "someone threw it into the yard. When we went out, we would not have seen anyone."

"Bring me the one in front."

Wei Qian's daughter-in-law takes another one from under the Kang mat in a hurry. Xia Xi looks at the handwriting. It's the same person's, but the handwriting of the back one is a little fuzzy. It's obvious that it was folded just after writing.

Eyes narrowed, want so much silver, certainly not aimed at the Wei family, is aimed at her.

"It doesn't say the location of the transaction. It's estimated that someone will send a letter tomorrow. Then you can just go on. As for the messenger, don't worry."

"How can I do that?"

Wei Cai couldn't help opposing, "if we catch the messenger, can't we easily know where the child is?"

"No, if the messenger is arrested, the others may tear the child's ticket and run away for fear that he will confess."

"This..."

Wei Cai's face turned pale.

That's what he had planned. He wanted to fill the village with people early tomorrow morning. As soon as a stranger came into the village, he would be arrested immediately.

"I'll go back to the county and come back tomorrow."

Wei Qian's daughter-in-law looked at the sky outside. "It's so late. You'd better not go back. Go to my house and make do for one night."

Xia Xi waved, "I have something to do when I go back to the county. I'll come back tomorrow morning."

When we arrived at the gate of the county, it was almost dawn. The coachman directly identified two Xia Xi. Without saying a word, the soldiers who guarded the city ran down to open the gate. Xia Xi took out a dime of silver and threw it over. "Today I'm in a hurry to go out. I only brought a little. I'll let Mr. Zhang buy you a drink later."

The soldiers in charge of the city bowed and flattered, "our master told us that no matter when you go out of the city or enter the city, you will be open to the door."

"I see."

To the door, whispered to open the door, Xia Xi directly went to the room to rest, just lay down not long, the hospital will ring a few children's voice.

"Qi'er, didn't my sister-in-law come back last night?" Listen to Xia Xi this house has no movement, tiger son is scratching a head to ask.

When his brother-in-law left, he told him to protect his sister-in-law while he was away.

Qi'er pursed her lips and didn't speak. Xia Xi's voice came out of the room. "Who said I didn't come back?"

Tiger quickly covered his mouth, black eyes turned a few turns, pulling Qi'er past the pose.

The door opens, Xia Xi goes out, a pair of sleep Full appearance, "you a few, want to be lazy?"

"No, it's not."

Huzi waved his hand in a hurry, "we are not lazy."

"Is it?"

Xia Xi exercises her muscles and bones, "come on, let's compare."

"No way."

Hu Zi refused, "we are very good at martial arts. We will hurt you."

Xia Xi wanted to laugh, but she reluctantly held back, "let's stop there and don't hurt people."

The tiger son scratched his head and was very embarrassed. He asked Qi'er, "Qi'er, what do you say?"

Qi'er looked at Xia Xi, and then at Hu Zi, and said a few words close to his ear. Hu Zi only nodded and said Xia Xi, "sister-in-law, as long as we win?"

"Yes."

"That's good."

Hu Zi turns around and waves to you en and you Hua. They come up to him, listen to her finish and nod with a smile.

Four people scatter, surround Xia Xi, put on a posture.

"Sister in law, are you ready?"

Huzi asked aloud.

"All right, let's go."

"Good."

Huzi words fall, four children rushed up together, two hugged her legs, two hugged her arms.

Xia Xi

Tiger eyes bent into a crescent, "sister-in-law, you lost."

"You smart little thing."

Xia Xi rubbed a few times on his head, "sister-in-law asked you, if you were caught by bad people, what would you do?"
