"Sister-in-law, didn't I tell you not to put the money down casually?"

When Lu Mingyao saw that the ransom was taken away and his old parents were not rescued, he became a little angry and scolded Jiang Yunshang, blaming her for not letting go of the ransom so easily.

"But I won't release the money, and I won't release the people either. If this stalemate continues, my parents will definitely not be able to bear it."

Jiang Yunshang said this aggrievedly.

"But now my parents have been taken away by them. I don't know what the outcome will be. They may ask for a second ransom." Lu Mingyao was particularly angry. He always felt that this matter was sued by Jiang Yunshang.

"Second brother, I can't blame my sister-in-law for this. After all, the situation is urgent and we are the passive party and have no right to negotiate terms."

Lu Mingqian, who had always been against Jiang Yunshang, now stood by Jiang Yunshang and said these words.

However, when he said this, he pulled Lu Mingyao aside and spoke very quietly, without letting Jiang Yunshang hear him speaking for her.

"Don't just stay here. Hurry up and arrange for someone to chase you. You might be able to catch up."

Jiang Yunshang saw that Lu Mingyao and Lu Mingqian were talking to one side, so he went over to make a suggestion to them.

"Our people have already gone after them, but they have obviously thought of a way out, and they will definitely not let us catch up so easily."

Lu Mingyao shook his head in distress, his expression was quite sad.

But as soon as the sad expression appeared on his face, good news soon came from the city gate.

"The second young master, the third young master, and the eldest young madam have been rescued."

At the gate of the city, a group of servants ran towards them quickly. The one running at the front called them from a distance and happily announced the good news.

"We're back. That's great. Hurry up and take mom and dad back home."

When Lu Mingyao heard that Lu Hengfeng and the others had been rescued, he seemed particularly happy. The sadness just now was swept away. Instead, Lu Mingqian stood there, looking a little lost.

However, when Lu Hengfeng and others were rescued, their consciousness was still unclear due to the drugs, and they could not even recognize Lu Mingyao and others.

"How did you save the person?"

When Lu Mingyao was happy, he asked his servant how he saved people.

"We didn't do much to save them. After the other party left the city, they left the master and the old lady on the roadside and ran away."

This servant was also quite down-to-earth and explained the reason sincerely.

Jiang Yunshang didn't say anything. She had expected all this.

However, after Lu Mingyao saw Lu Hengfeng's condition, he became anxious again and hurriedly went to arrange doctor's treatment for them.

As he hurriedly started, Jiang Yunshang and the others had nothing to do.

"Xiaoyun, please make some arrangements and get ready to go to Mingyan Tower."

Jiang Yunshang made her own arrangements while Lu Mingyao and others were busy treating Lu Hengfeng and others.

"Miss, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people coming to Mingyan Tower tomorrow, and there may be another big fight. Maybe there will be other fights outside the mall?"

Xiaoyun did what he was told, but he also had some worries.

After all, in this kind of place and situation, everyone has their own thoughts, and it is a battlefield of overt and covert fighting.

"Well, I'm just going to join in the fun." Jiang Yunshang smiled faintly.

Xiaoyun didn't say anything. She didn't believe that Jiang Yunshang was just joining in the fun.

Moreover, Jiang Yunshang never happened to something that had nothing to do with her. If she didn't want to do something, she would never take a trip into this muddy water.

But Xiaoyun didn't dare to persuade her, because she knew Jiang Yunshang's temper, and no one else could persuade her after she made this decision.

Besides, this matter has not yet been completely decided, and it is hard to say who will win in the end.

Besides, Xiaoyun really doesn't know anything about shopping malls. Even though she has been following Jiang Yunshang, she still can't learn anything.

This may be talent, she really has no talent in this area.

Jiang Yunshang didn't make things difficult for her. He knew that she was not interested in these things, so he never forced her to learn business.

As for Lu Hengfeng, after experiencing this incident, he was extremely angry in his heart.

He didn't expect that his dignified general would be humiliated like this when he got old.

He originally thought that those bandits were just robbing people on the road. After Old Mrs. Lu was caught, he thought that he would get some money and negotiate terms with them so that they could be replaced.

Unexpectedly, the bandits couldn't help but collect the silver taels he took, tied him up together, and extorted another 10,000 taels of silver.

What a shame and humiliation this was. A majestic general who had dominated the battlefield for so many years was finally kidnapped by a few bandits and successfully extorted his money.

"No, I want to enter the palace and report to the Emperor Ming."

Lu Hengfeng really couldn't swallow this, so he wanted to report to the Emperor Ming, hoping to ask the Emperor to send troops to exterminate the bandits again.

In addition to venting his anger, he also wanted to take the opportunity to regain his military power.

In fact, the imperial palace already knew about this matter, and it became a talking point among the ministers.

As a result of Lu Hengfeng's judgment, he cannot enter the palace now without being summoned.

But relying on his status as a former general and his connections in the court, he easily entered the palace and met the emperor.

After hearing what he had revealed, Feng Yi rejected his request straight away while the emperor was still hesitant.

"Based on what Old General Lu just said, do you want to lead troops to exterminate the bandits again?

But the last time you led troops to exterminate bandits was more than a year ago. That time you not only lost your eldest son, but also almost put the prince in danger.

When you came back that time, you said that all the bandits had been wiped out. Now that you ask the imperial court to lead your troops to wipe out the bandits, aren't you admitting that you told lies to deceive the Holy One?"

As soon as Feng Yi opened his mouth, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also came to life and began to question Lu Hengfeng.

"Yes, it's only been a few months. How could the bandits reappear so quickly?"

"Old General Lu, could it be that he really deceived him in order to lead the army?"

Lu Hengfeng was not expecting that the civil and military officials of the Jianman Dynasty would speak like this. After all, he used to have a strong say in the court. If he said anything in the court, half of the people in the court would agree with him.

But now they are all standing opposite him.

"I didn't expect that one of the thieves among them escaped, but this person's appeal would be so amazing that he could rebuild a bandit den in such a short period of time."

When everyone was pointing their fingers at him, Lu Hengfeng found some excuses like this after some discussion.
