Vol 2 Chapter 357:

Chapter 357 According to the method of taking care of the martial arts, Cheng Jin took advantage of méng's opportunity to go out of the city to work and secretly abduct him. Then he wrote a letter to his family and sent it to méng Luo's house. Asked for 22 thousand silver and two thousand gold.
The letter arrived at méng, and immediately attracted a magnificent bō, méng, up and down, as if fried in a pot.
Méng Luo is the left hand of the imperial court, but his wealth is not generous. He is upright and an official. He is also a breeze with all his sleeves. All his income depends only on Lulu. In the country of wind, the imperial court has long been a mere puppet. Although the minister of the North and Central Government cannot say less, he is far from being on the concubine. With so many in Beijing, Méng Luo's Lulu, except for the cost of supporting the old and young of the family, has little left. Where can I put together astronomical figures such as 220,000 silver and 22,000 gold?
The old man was shocked and did not mess up. While sending his family to raise money, he sent someone to report to the Lieutenant's Mansion. He went to the palace to discuss how to resolve the matter.
Méng Tian was shocked to hear that his brother was kidnapped. He couldn't wait in the palace, followed his father, and hurried back to Xiangfu. When Méng Luo and Méng Tian returned to Xiangfu, Gu Yan was invited by the servants of Xiangfu.
I know that Gu Zheng is the deputy leader of Lieutenant's Mansion, but in fact he is the real person in charge, and he knows the size of Yancheng. In order to be able to rescue his second son, méng Luo was very kind to Gu Yi and served as a guest.
Méng Tian had no nonsense. After Gu Yan took his seat, he asked straightforwardly: "There will be kidnappers in all cities. I don't know what Gu thinks the kidnappers are? How to deal with this?"
"It's hard to say. The capital city is very uneven now." Gu Min frowned, pretending to be worried, and said, "Two days ago, there were assassins mixed in the palace and stabbed the king!" Then he replied: "Méng and General Méng, presumably the two should also be clear. Recently, a large number of virgins have gathered outside the city. Among them, a mixture of dragons and snakes will inevitably hide the desperate people who are in danger for money and wealth, according to me. It is speculated that this time about the abduction of Méng's son, eighty-nine out of ten was related to the virgins outside the city. "
He pushed the matter out of the way, all the pots were buckled on the heads of the virgins outside the city, and they were justified. There are over a million virgins, who dare to guarantee that there will be no wrongdoers?
When méng Luo face changed, he hurriedly asked, "So ... Master Gu, in your opinion, what do you think of this matter?"
Gu Yan groaned for a while pretending to be quiet, and said quietly: "After all, money is something outside of him, but his life is off, I think, first accept the terms of the kidnappers, give them all the gold and silver they asked for, and wait for the redemption order. My lieutenant ’s side can let go and check. I believe that within ten days, the ransom sent by Méng will be recovered. "
Méng Tian was certainly dissatisfied with such an answer, and thought that Gu Yan did not do his best to do things. He chuckled coldly and said, "I think that if the Minister of the Wind Country's family was abducted by the gangsters, Master Gu would never give such an irresponsible answer? Master Gu, as the head of the Lieutenant's House, would not To arrest the kidnappers, but also we need to give the kidnappers gold and silver first, but you bully me into méng's family? "
Gu Yi quickly shook his hands and said repeatedly: "Xiaguan has no intention, General Méng misunderstood him! Now Méng is in the hands of the kidnappers. If the lieutenant's house goes to search for the kidnappers, he will be afraid of hitting the grass, in case the kidnapper dog must jump over the wall, méng The son has three strengths and two weaknesses. Xiaguan cannot afford this responsibility! "
Méng Tian still has to speak. Méng Luo waved his hand to stop him and said, "Tian, ​​Master Gu is not unreasonable."
Then, he went into trouble and said to Gu Yan: "Adult Gu's method is feasible, but the Prime Minister's House really couldn't make up so much gold and silver for a while, Lord Gu ..."
Gu Xuan smiled and said with another finger: "The méng phase is the left phase of the dynasty. Below one person, more than tens of millions of people, 20,000 silver and 2,000 gold, for the méng phase, Should be nine cows and one hair? "
"Fart!" Without waiting for Méng Luo to speak, Méng Tian was flushed with anger, and said, "The father is the official, and he is always clean. Where is there so much gold and silver in the family?"
"Hehe!" Gu Yan smiled leisurely and said, "General Méng, don't be angry, after all, Xiaguan doesn't know the truth."
After pondering for a while, he said, "Let ’s go, for the ransom, if the méng phase is really difficult, Xiaguan can report to the king and ask the king for help."
"If His Royal Highness is willing to help, that would be great." Méng Luo looked at méng Tian and said without worry: "It is just that His Royal Highness may not help the old minister!"
"Please rest assured at this point, the king is always at work, and he has always been very clear. He will never stand idly by when he is in distress." Gu Yizheng said.
"In this way, the old man thanked Master Gu first!" Méng Luo looked with jī, moved, stood up, and bowed to the ground.
"Ah, méng is polite and kills the officials!" Gu Yan also hurriedly got up and gave a respectful gift to méng Luo Bi.
Méng Tian watched coldly, always feeling that Gu Yi was a bit uncomfortable, but where there was a problem, he couldn't say clearly for a while.
Let's say Gu Yan, don't go past méng Luo, méng Tian and his son, leave Xiangfu, and immediately go to Wangfu to ask Tang Yin for money.
Tang Yin was unaware of the conspiracy of Cheng Jin and Gu Yi. He heard that Méng Luo's second son was abducted, and he was surprised, and frowned, and asked, "Who did it? Have you checked?"
Gu Yan's eyes rolled around, and he answered unquestionably, "The state is busy, the king is working hard and has no time to split up. Why is the king asking such a trivial matter?"
Twenty-two thousand silver, plus two thousand two gold, is this a trivial matter? However, Tang Yin is so clever. Since Gu Yan said this, there must be other hidden feelings, and it is not very clean. It is better to know such things.
He smiled slightly and nodded and said, "Okay! Since General Gu said so, I just don't ask. The gold and silver you mentioned can be lent to Méng Luo, wait for a while, you take my hand to find Zhang It's good for adults to mention it. "
"Yes! King!" Gu 宸 yù replied again and again.
Tang Yin raised the pen and just wanted to write a handwriting for Zhang Zhe, but felt that it was inappropriate. Then he changed Zhang Zhe's name to Shao Zong Yuan, and said, "This money should not come out of the treasury. You go to Lord Zong and ask King Zong to raise gold and silver from the house. "
"See you, King Ming!" He also felt that such "dirty things" should not be recorded in the state treasury, and it was most appropriate to pay money from the palace.
After Tang Yin wrote his handwriting, he handed it to Gu Ye, who quit. Before he left, Tang Yin did not raise his head to remind him: "This gold and silver is not a small amount. After the incident is completed, let Cheng Jin return to the treasury as soon as possible to pay."
Gu Yi looked back, surprised to see Tang Yin who was approving the official document, shook his head and smiled. From beginning to end, he said nothing about the inside story, but he still could not hide his eyes!
With a secret admiration in his heart, he nodded and said, "The King is assured that General Cheng will be reminded at the end."
"Well! Let's do it!" Tang Yin stopped talking and turned her attention back to the mountain of documents.
Things went smoothly, Gu Zheng returned to Xiangfu, and brought 22 thousand silver and 22 thousand gold together. Méng Luo Xi was overjoyed, took méng fields, greeted the palace, and brought Gu Yan into the palace.
"This time, Master Gu helped the old man a lot!" Méng Luo thanked Gu Yan for his kindness, and the latter said with a smile: "Méng should not thank the officials, but the King!"
"This ..." Méng Luo hesitated a moment, didn't speak right away, knowing that he had long been resentful to the king, Gu Ji immediately interrupted the topic, and said, "Now that the gold and silver are all made up, I don't know the kidnappers agreed to pay the ransom. What time is it? "
"It's late tonight." Speaking, méng Luo handed over the letter from the kidnapper to Gu Ye, who took it for a closer look, looked at it from beginning to end, then put down the letter and said to méng Luo: "Méng will follow the kidnapper. Let ’s go! The kidnappers usually value money, and they will not kill innocent people ...

Before he finished speaking, méng Tian questioned dissatisfied: "How? It sounds like Master Gu's Lieutenant's Mansion does not intend to the prime minister."
Gu Zheng faced Zheng Yizheng and said, "The kidnappers specifically mentioned in the letter that the accompanying person of the méng phase must not exceed five people. Wouldn't it be bad if my lieutenant's house went out?"
"At least you should also make appropriate arrangements, otherwise what will happen once you change?" Méng Tian Ningsheng said, "In case the kidnapper asks for a ransom, it is a fake, the purpose is to assassinate the father, what should you do?
"This ... Xiaguan didn't think so much for a while ..." Gu Yan took a breath ~ EbookFREE.me ~ slowly bowed his head.
"The people in your lieutenant's house must be prepared to be rescued at any time!" Méng Tian Shensheng said.
"But, my lieutenant's house has no cavalry. If it really changes, I'm afraid it won't be possible." Gu Yi mumbled and thought, pondering for a long time, his mind flashed, and said: "You can find the ninth in this matter. The Legion assists. First, the Ninth Army is a cavalry legion, fast and powerful, and it is easy to deal with the younger generations of the kidnappers. Second, the station of the Ninth Army is not far from the trading place set by the kidnappers. It can be arrived in the shortest possible time without causing the suspicion and vigilance of the kidnappers. "
After listening to méng Tian's eyes, his eyes flickered. If he could really ask the Ninth Army for help, this would be better. However, the Ninth Army is the only cavalry legion in the Wind Country. It is still a heavy cavalry legion. The baby is very good. In addition, the head of the legion Qi Heng is arrogant and his eyes are too high. I'm afraid to ask him to please him! He asked: "Master Gu, do you think General Qi is willing to help?"
Gu Zheng shrugged and said, "General Qi and Guo Guoguo have always been good friends, and Xiaguan has some friendship with him. I asked Master Guo to be a lobbyist, and it will certainly be done. Besides, this matter is aligned with the general. It ’s just a hand!
