Hearing this, Xu Fu's eyes changed slightly, and he gave Jiang Wenzheng a complicated look. He quickly hid his emotions and led Jiang Wenzheng.
He saw Jiang Wenzheng as a young man from a rich family. Generally, when rich people buy slaves, their housekeeper comes to buy them, and they take them home to work as maids or slaves. Even those who engage in shady activities usually buy young women, and few people buy them.
child.
Although what he did was also illegal, he really looked down on those with perverted hearts.
The black cloth was lifted, and the children in the cage were frightened. They looked at the people standing outside the cage in horror, trembling and huddled together.
Those children were so dirty that they could no longer recognize the style of their previous clothes.
Their hair was scattered and covered their faces, and some buried their faces in their companions in fear. Jiang Wenzheng couldn't see their faces clearly at all.
"Can you open the door?"
He looked at Xu Fu. He had to confirm whether Jiang Zhiyi or Qi Fang was inside.
Xu Fu's eyes flashed slightly and he gave the guard a look. The guard took out the key and opened the iron lock, then took off the thick iron chain from his wrist one by one.
The wooden door opened, and Jiang Wenzheng bent down and walked in. The children looked at him as if he was looking at some savage beast.
Even if Jiang Zhiyi is not involved, these children were all trafficked and were once the treasures of their parents.
He searched one by one, and the strong hope at the beginning gradually extinguished.
No, neither...
Xu Fu looked at him, "Is it satisfactory?"
Jiang Wenzheng shook his head, "Are they all here?"
Xu Fu replied, "They are all here."
Jiang Wenzheng couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. Just when he was about to stand up, a small hand suddenly grabbed his big hand tightly.
The little hands were chubby, covered in black mud, and even the nails were missing.
He looked along a small arm and met a pair of big dark eyes.
Although the child's hair is also messy, you can see the bun he had before and the patterns embroidered with colorful threads on his clothes. It is obvious that his family is well-off and he seems to have been trafficked.
Those big eyes looked straight at him, without fear or anger, just so calm.
He seemed to bet that Jiang Wenzheng would take him away.
He had seen this look before. When he was hunting in autumn before, he had forced a deer to the cliff. When he raised his bow and arrow, it looked at him with this look.
Jiang Wenzheng's body froze, and his heart beat faster.
If he saved this one, could he save thousands of abducted children in the world?
But……
He gritted his back molars, shook off the child's hand, and walked out the door.
The guard locked the chains again, but heard Jiang Wenzheng's calm voice speaking to Xu Fu, "How much do these children cost?"
Xu Fu was also shocked. Is he crazy? He wants to buy all the children?
"Although children are cheaper than ordinary slaves, they can..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Wenzheng interrupted him and asked, "How much."
Xu Fu met Jiang Wenzheng's firm eyes, swallowed all the rest of his words, and quickly waved to the waiter. After a while, the shopkeeper ran over with an abacus in his hand.
When he saw Jiang Wenzheng, he didn't seem too surprised.
"A total of two hundred and thirty-eight taels."
The bead was finalized, and the shopkeeper reported a number to Jiang Wenzheng.
Two hundred and thirty-eight taels, what is this concept?
If you can rent out a flat for half a year and buy ten shops, even the richest man in Qishan City has to think carefully when taking this money.
"Send these children safely to Jiang's Escort Bureau and go directly to the accountant to get the money."
Jiang Wenzheng asked Xu Fu, and he left slowly with a wooden cane. Although his wallet became empty, his heart was no longer empty.
When he returned home, Jiang Xuan and his party had already returned. As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Xuan hurried over with a piece of paper.
"Brother, look quickly."
Jiang Wenzheng took the piece of paper and glanced at it briefly, "Where did it come from?"
The person who found this piece of paper was Qing Yi. He and Liu Fang looked for the place where Jiang Zhiyi and Qi Fang might go. They met a farmer. She was grazing cattle outside the city gate this evening and happened to see two children riding horses.
Go out of the city gate.
Not far after walking south, I saw a horse lying on the ground with a broken front hoof and whining.
He hurried back to tell Jiang Wenzheng and Su Yuanyuan the news, but as soon as he reached the door, he saw a letter stapled to the door, and when he opened it, he saw this written on it.
The big stone in Jiang Wenzheng's heart finally fell. He was just trying to make money, so that would be easy.
Su Yuanyuan had also gotten up early. Jiang Zhiyi hadn't been found all day, so she was still in the mood to sleep. She just squinted lightly for a while and then couldn't sleep anymore.
The letter said that five hundred taels of silver were needed, and that in three days he would ask a vendor selling candied haws in front of a building to deliver it to the outskirts of the city. Someone would pick it up at that time, and when they got the money, the child would naturally go home safely.
Su Yuanyuan may be able to take out the five hundred taels of silver now, but what if the robber takes the money but refuses to let him go?
"Report to the official?"
Jiang Wenzheng shook his head gently. If he reported to the officer that he would make too much noise, he would definitely alert the robber. What should he do if he alerted the robber and broke up the ticket?
He comforted Su Yuanyuan softly, "It's okay. The other party is just looking for money now. He won't do anything to the children until he gets the money."
Su Yuanyuan thought about it and realized that it was the same. At least it could ensure the safety of Jiang Zhiyi and Qi Fang in these three days.
Jiang Xuan was also very anxious about Jiang Zhiyi's kidnapping. He slapped the table and stood up, "Brother, I will go to the escort agency tomorrow to send him as a mortgage!"
At this time, Fu Shen also stood up, "Yun'er and I still have a few idle shops and properties that can be sold for some money."
Even Qingyi and Dongyuan also spent the money they had saved these days.
"Sister Yuanyuan, although these are not much, they are worth it if you can contribute."
Su Yuanyuan's eyes flickered as she looked at them, feeling very moved in her heart.
Everyone says they should fly away when disaster strikes, but there is another saying that a friend in need is a friend indeed.
She didn't expect that the little help she would receive in daily life would lead to what she has today.
She stood with Jiang Wenzheng, the couple clasped their hands and bowed deeply to everyone.
"Thank you everyone..."
Her voice was choked, and Ninja's throat was sore. Tears welled up in her eyes, making a few small splashes on the floor.
It was already the third quarter of the hour. Su Yuanyuan and Jiang Wenzheng were lying on the bed together. Neither of them fell asleep. Jiang Wenzheng hugged Su Yuanyuan tightly and kept stroking her back with his big hands to comfort her.
He knew that this was the time when Su Yuanyuan needed comfort the most. Ever since Su Yuanyuan changed, her relationship with A Yi had become deeper and deeper. Jiang Wenzheng could see that Su Yuanyuan really loved A Yi. It was true.
