Chapter 382 Abducted
In view of the fact that there were officials everywhere on the streets, the kidnapper did not dare to leave Yanguan Town easily.
They had already set up a base in a secluded place in Yanguan Town.
The carriage wobbled through two quiet streets and stopped in an empty yard.
The two kidnappers brought Maner and others to the yard, and then retreated into the house.
Mother Jiang hung the lantern on the beam, and the room was filled with light.
Then, Fat Guaizi carried Chunwang into the house again.
Maner and others were horrified when they saw Chunwang thrown to the ground with his mouth gagged and his hands tied.
"All of you be quiet." The thin man said sinisterly to Maner and the other four children.
Duo'er's eyes were filled with tears and she was about to cry.
Man'er patted Duo'er's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, sister. Don't be afraid, sister. We are going to the capital city."
Then he turned around and said, "We will be good. Didn't you say you would take us to the capital? Why are we here?"
Mother Jiang chuckled and said, "That's right, I'll take you to the capital. Stay here for one night and leave tomorrow."
This little fool looks like a girl from a wealthy family who has been spoiled and become naive.
Not wary of strangers.
Maner showed an excited expression, holding Xiaolong with one hand and Duoer with the other and said, "We are going to the capital city, that's great. The private school will start tomorrow, so I don't have to go. I hate writing and reading the most."
Mother Jiang frowned slightly and said, "You are a girl, but you are still studying in a private school? Who are you trying to appease?"
Maner said innocently, "My father said that only by studying can you do big business and make a lot of money."
The two beggars looked at each other.
What kind of family is this? They send their daughter to a private school.
From this perspective, the family conditions of these children are better than they imagined.
Mother Jiang glared at the two cripple boys and scolded them, "What are you two thinking about? Stop making up your mind. If you ruin my plan, I'll make you pay."
The thin cripple said unconvincedly: "Yanguan Town is the richest place in Pingchuan County. Which of those rich families can't pay a thousand taels of silver? Especially a family like this who loves their children, they will be willing to pay whatever you ask them to pay."
Fat Guaizi said, "If we take them to Shengjing and something unexpected happens on the way, our trip will be ruined. It would be better to get the silver first and extort a large sum of money from them."
Mother Jiang scolded, "You are blind. Don't you see the police officers everywhere on the street? If we are caught, we will not be able to escape. Don't just focus on the money in front of you and forget the risks in front of you. We want to do long-term business."
When the thin cripple and the fat cripple heard the constable coming, they dared not speak.
But I was not convinced in my heart.
Why do they have to work so hard to catch the child, but Jiang's mother has to make all the decisions?
How much silver can they get if they bring these children to Shengjing?
If they followed their idea and sent letters to the families of these children, they could at least get a thousand taels of silver.
As for those official businessmen, they will not stay in Yanguan Town all the time.
As soon as the news died down, they sent letters to the children's families to extort money.
If they dare to report to the police, these children will be killed.
"Let's stay here for one night and go to the provincial capital tomorrow. I'm going to make a fire. It's so cold." Mother Jiang said and went out.
Maner, Xiaolong, Duoer and Yaozu sat together under the wall.
Fortunately, their family had asked them to wear thick clothes before watching the lanterns, so they didn't feel cold at this time.
Fat Guaizi observed the children and asked Maner with a smile: "Little girl, are you all from the same family?"
Maner pulled Xiaolong and said, "He is my biological brother."
Pointing at Yaozu and Duoer, he said, "He is my uncle's younger brother and my sister's grandfather's village head."
When the two heard this, the headman's eyes lit up.
Yanguan Town is so wealthy, how could the headman’s family have little money?
The thin cripple asked, "How many boys are there in your family?"
Maner said: "Just the two of them."
The thin cripple smiled.
If he controlled these two children, he would be controlling the family's incense. He didn't believe that he couldn't extort money.
Fat Knead wanted to find out more about their family background, so he asked, "Where do you live? What do you do?"
Yao Zu licked a piece of candy and said, "You asked me where my home is? Sometimes I live in Yanguan Town and sometimes I live in Fucheng. My family sells porcelain, which we transport on big ships to people on the sea."
Maner and Xiaolong were stunned after hearing this.
Yaozu is talking nonsense.
Isn’t porcelain my aunt’s business?
Aren’t big ships the Lu family’s business?
The fat and thin cripple had excited expressions on their faces.
They didn't expect the fish they caught today were so fat.
If a family has a big ship for going out to sea, they must be a very wealthy family.
No wonder people say Yanguan Town is wealthy, they finally came to the right place.
Since this family has a boat, the incense and the favored child are all in my hands, which means I am holding half of the Nie family's wealth.
Yaozu licked the candy again and said, "I don't want to be here. It's too cold here. I heard you guys want money just now. Go ask my dad for it. My dad has money. By the way, my dad's name is Nie Mingyuan."
Man'er agreed with Yaozu and said, "We can't go. If they go, they will know that we are going to the capital city to play."
The fat and thin guys were as happy as if they had seen a pile of gold coins.
No one wanted to wait until the next day.
Without further ado, they planned to blackmail him tonight.
The thin cripple said to the fat cripple, "Mother Jiang has been waiting with us all night without eating. You go make some food for her."
Fat Crooked Man knew exactly what Thin Crooked Man was up to, and said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure that Mother Jiang has a good meal and a good sleep."
The two of them acted separately.
Soon there were only a few children left in the house.
Duo'er said tremblingly: "Sister Man'er, I want to go home."
Man'er was also scared, but she always remembered that she was the elder sister and that she should stay calm when encountering problems. She comforted Duo'er and said, "Don't be afraid, grandma and the others will definitely come to save us."
Maner didn't know whether the velvet flower she dropped on the ground had been picked up.
As Maner was talking, her little body began to tremble.
Xiaolong supported Man'er and said, "Man'er, don't be afraid. I'm here. Don't be afraid."
Yao Zu stopped pretending and said with tears in his eyes, "You don't know Kung Fu."
Xiaolong stopped talking and pursed his lips.
He believed that his uncle would see the mark he left.
"Yaozu, why do you say your father is your uncle?" Maner asked quietly.
Yaozu said, "I saw that they wanted to ask our family for money. We are too far away in Qinghe Bay, so I told them to go to my aunt's house."
Maner tapped Yaozu's forehead and said, "You've become smarter."
The door creaked open and Mother Jiang walked in carrying a hot stove.
The four children huddled together, Maner resting her head on Xiaolong as if she was about to fall asleep.
Maner wants to go to the space to get pepper spray.
Her grandmother asked her to take out this pepper water and pour it into small bottles. She gave one bottle each to her aunt and Aunt Xiaocao, telling them to spray it in their eyes when they met bad people.
