Chapter 274 I Want to Be a Villain 64
I heard that my grandson was in a coma, and the old lady Qian who had fainted had just been rescued, so she started raising money again.
She couldn't afford the gamble.
Without eating or drinking, even a normal person couldn't afford it, let alone Guaiguai, who had an average constitution and was seriously injured. She gave up the idea of punishing evil for the time being, and just wanted to save people as soon as possible.
This late at night, the bank was also closed.
Where should she get the money?
"A Cai, considering the time, it's time for A Hong and the others to come back, right?"
"Yes, I guess A Cai will be back tomorrow at the latest. Master's problem will be solved by then."
It turns out that the Qian family has been struggling recently, and Mrs. Qian has long been thinking about whether she should ask her mother-in-law for help. But Mrs. Qian wanted to save face and was afraid of being laughed at by her brothers, so she couldn't speak.
Until yesterday I heard that my eldest grandson was kidnapped...
She had a hunch that the kidnappers would not want a small sum, and even if she sold her shop, it would be difficult for her to raise a large amount of money in the short term. In this case, she had to ask her parents' family for help.
Ah Hong, like Ah Cai, was her confidant brought from her natal family.
She wrote a letter in her own hand and asked Ah Hong to take the letter in person and rush to Shicheng, which took a long time to reach by car. She borrowed five thousand taels of silver from her family in her name for emergency purposes.
Her mother's family is the richest man in Shicheng, and they can afford the money. But she was a married daughter after all, and now the head of her natal family was her younger brother to whom she was not very close, so asking for it was definitely not an option, she could only borrow it.
It's rare for her to open her mouth, and her family will definitely agree...
Judging from the time, Ah Hong should have arrived last night. If he talks about things today, he should be back tomorrow. If everything goes well, maybe the money will be available when I wake up tomorrow morning.
Five thousand taels is enough to temporarily solve the family's urgent needs, enough to redeem the eldest grandson and the mortgaged shop, settle the lawsuit, and if there is anything left, it can be used to appease Feng'er...
Mrs. Qian was quite cautious. She was worried that Ah Hong would come back late tomorrow and miss the redemption person, so she asked Aunt Cai to find the person who gave the money to the profiteer overnight.
She borrowed a thousand taels of silver with a lot of interest...
At dawn, the Qian family hurriedly exchanged gold again, and then began to wait anxiously.
However, until the afternoon, no letter was received from the kidnappers.
Of course they can't wait.
Because Tao Ran is really busy now.
Busy... robbing.
Was it robbed? Of course it was still the money of the Qian family!
Tao Ran has never been cruel to the Qian family. Instead, he has been making fuss around them. For what reason?
Isn’t it silver?
The more she saw this bleak world, the more she wanted to make money.
Work hard to get money!
If possible, she hopes to vacate the entire Qian family!
Let the wealthy family members, who have always been well-off and well-off, feel the pain of having no money, and let them become ordinary people like Jin Gui, whom they despise the most!
She even wants to use the money to help really poor and innocent people!
Tao Ran and her people have been keeping an eye on the Qian family.
Tao Ran had long understood the group of people going in and out of the bank and pawn shop.
Of course she also knew that Mrs. Qian's family background meant that she still had potential to be tapped.
There was a lot of noise when Aunt Hong left the house, and five thousand taels of silver was not a small amount. For the sake of safety, she brought several servants with her. How could Tao Ran not know about such a huge battle? He had already sent people to keep an eye on him.
Now she has someone who has money and transportation, but they are just across the city, so she will naturally accompany them with all her strength.
Tao Ran was happy when he found out that Grandma Hong was going to Mrs. Qian's natal home.
If she didn't fight this calamity, she would be sorry for herself.
So this time she must succeed!
Her people kept an eye on Grandma Hong's return route, mobilized almost most of the combat power on the mountain, made multiple robbery plans, and set up multiple ambush methods.
Guessing that the amount of money involved must be quite large, in order to ensure that they could rob safely, they also specially set up roadblocks to avoid being disturbed by other people.
In a wild area, their people pressed forward with all their strength.
Although the Qian family brought six people to protect them, they were all captured alive.
After Tao Ran got the five thousand taels of silver notes, she hurried to the provincial capital. She had to exchange the notes and break them into pieces before Qian's family found out.
In this age without surveillance, doing bad things is fun.
Coupled with her superb makeup skills, she can almost run wild.
The five thousand taels of silver notes are each one thousand taels. Tao Ran was not afraid of trouble at all and went to three branches of the same bank to exchange part of the money at each bank.
Soon, the five banknotes turned into a stack of small-denomination banknotes.
She transferred part of the banknotes to another bank, and exchanged part of them for gold and silver, so that the money could no longer be traced...
As for Aunt Hong and others, they were knocked unconscious by their people and temporarily thrown into the mountains. I don't think I can go back to Qian's house before tonight.
Like last time, most of the Qian family's carriage was dismantled, and all practical items were taken away. They didn't even let go of the souvenirs given by Mrs. Qian's family...
It was already afternoon when Tao Ran came back from the provincial capital.
Seeing that the sun was going to set in another hour, Tao Ran returned to Yancheng. Just like yesterday, she sent someone to send a letter to the Qian family.
The Qian family had been waiting all day. Mrs. Qian didn't think about food or tea, so she only drank a few cups of ginseng soup.
At this moment, the kidnapper finally came back with news, and the old lady Qian, who had been twitching her eyelids all day, could finally relax.
"The man in black asked me to convey: In two quarters of an hour, there will be a transaction in front of the White Horse Temple." The man's words made the old lady panic again. Two quarters of an hour? Only two quarters of an hour?
Even if we set off now, it will still take a quarter of an hour to reach the White Horse Temple!
As for the White Horse Temple... the White Horse Temple is located in the main city area. At this time, there may not be many people in front of the White Horse Temple! Trading in that kind of place?
"He said that you all know the rules. You can bring a car with a maximum of two people, and no more than three people can enter the White Horse Temple. If you report to the official; exceed the number of people; fail to meet the time limit; there is something wrong with the gold; or the Qian family has another problem. If you cheat, the transaction will be cancelled.”
"The man also said that this will be the Qian family's last chance to save people. Let you consider what you do! Otherwise, you will regret it."
No matter how angry Mrs. Qian was, she could only ask people to prepare quickly.
The enemy is showing it and she is hiding it, so she doesn’t give them any chance to negotiate! All she could do was obey.
No matter how tight the time was, they had no time to think of other ways... This time, there was no chance of an ambush.
Mrs. Qian was really worried and planned to pick up her grandson in person.
After praying all the way, the carriage finally arrived at the White Horse Temple ahead of schedule.
Going forward is the way up the mountain.
After a few dozen more breaths on the carriage, we reached the area of White Horse Temple.
Mrs. Qian looked up and sighed.
In such a terrain, the kidnappers must have been looking down at them at this moment.
On this mountain road, how many of them came in total? Whether there was an ambush or a deceit among the people going up the mountain, the kidnappers above must have seen clearly.
If the kidnappers find something wrong and cancel the transaction, it's not a big deal, but if it harms Feng'er, it's a big deal.
So although she was obviously passive now, Mrs. Qian had to leave all the dozen or so people she brought with her. She took two people from the house with her and rode a carriage up the mountain road...
