Chapter 77 Seeking Property

After Xiao Lingxiao calmed down, he dressed neatly and came to Xianglin Courtyard. In the Xianglin courtyard, the old lady asked Xiao Lingxiao about stepping on the first snow with a stiff face. After Xiao Lingxiao's simple answer, she heard the old lady say, "So, Feng Ming's child was abducted by a bandit. He has been taking care of your finances. I think those people are probably here for money, and you should also make some preparations as soon as possible. Your father and I will be in charge of this matter. When there is news from the court, your father will send someone to negotiate with those villains. As for the silver, you can prepare it.

When Xiao Lingxiao heard the old lady's words, he was really angry. The Xiao family has to take care of this matter for the sake of face, but they still want her to make money to redeem people. These people may not be too calculating!

Xiao Lingxiao snorted coldly, "If those thugs really stared at my silver, I wouldn't care about exchanging silver for Feng Ming. When those people have news, I will deal with it.

The old lady looked at Xiao Lingxiao coldly and said quietly, "Most of your money has been bought by Feng Ming. What if it doesn't have enough ransom?"

"As long as the other party dares to speak, I, Xiao Lingxiao, can afford it. You don't have to worry." Xiao Lingxiao also looked at the old lady coldly and said indifferently.

The expression on the old lady's face remained unchanged, but there was a wave in her heart. Xiao Lingxiao's tone was so big that even her old lady was a little shaken. However, this was also what she expected. Xiao Lingxiao's wings are hard now. With a little silver in her hand, she doesn't know that the sky is thick. The old lady smiled secretly in her heart. Xiao Lingxiao, Xiao Lingxiao, how can you, a little yellow-haired girl know the dangers of the world? If you can afford to make a big deal, you have to pay for it.

"In that case, I'm relieved." The old lady sighed, "It's going to be the Spring Festival. In addition to the affairs of the court, your father is also busy taking care of the family's industry during this period. The year is not good, and there are too many places to turn around. If it hadn't been for you, we really didn't know what to redeem.

After saying that, the old lady pretended to tell Xiao Lingxiao a few words and let her go back.

Not long after Xiao Lingxiao returned to Qingheyuan, he saw the narcissus running in and shouted anxiously, "Miss is not good!" After saying that, he handed a piece of wrinkled paper in his hand to Xiao Lingxiao. Xiao Lingxiao unfolded the paper and took a look. There were two lines of small words on it, "At midnight, the poplar forest outside the imperial city, one million taels of silver ransom."

After Xiao Lingxiao saw it, he stood up and said with a panicked face, "Just now, I heard the old lady say that she was going to prepare money to redeem people, but I didn't expect it to come so soon!" One million taels of silver? What's wrong with this!" After saying that, she turned her head and winced at Bao Ronger, "Why don't you go and prepare the car!" I have to raise money right away!"

Baor Ronger knew that Xiao Lingxiao was acting for Narcissus, so she also joined in the fun and ran out to prepare the car in a panic. Xiao Lingxiao was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. He grabbed the daffodil and said, "Narso, after I leave, you can quickly take the maids in the yard to clean up something and pack all the valuable items. In case I don't have enough money, I have to fill these things. We have to save Master Sanbiao no matter what, do you understand?"

Narcissus nodded vigorously when he heard the words, and Xiao Lingxiao ran out quickly when he saw this.

In the room, the narcissus smiled, snorted coldly, and muttered in a low voice, "After all, he is a waste. After being arrogant for such a moment, do you really think that you can fight against the Xiao family? Humph."

Bao Ronger quickly prepared the carriage and horse. Xiao Lingxiao left only a few safe demon wolf brothers here to stare at the maids, so that they would not take the opportunity to make trouble, and then leave the Prime Minister's mansion with the rest of the demon wolves.

After coming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bao Ronger asked Xiao Lingxiao, "Master, where are we going?"

Xiao Fengming came to attack Xiao Lingxiao in the morning. This note for ransom is naturally fake. Of course, they can't really go to raise money.

Xiao Lingxiao smiled when he heard the words, "Wu Chiguo is also a place with royal law. Let's report to the officials!"

The carriage galloped and blinked to the outside of Jingzhao Yin's door. After being notified of his identity, the gatekeeper was shocked and hurried in to report. What had happened before made Jing Zhaoyin have some admiration for Xiao Lingxiao, so he heard that she came to report the case in person and hurried out to meet her.

Xiao Lingxiao was invited to a side room. Jing Zhaoyin asked what had happened, read the note again, and his eyebrows condensed into a pimple.

Xiao Lingxiao saw that he was in a dilemma and whispered, "I, Xiao Lingxiao, am a weak female, and I can't fight against those bandits. After thinking about it, I still feel that I should come to report the case. Lord Jing Zhaoyin must have experience in handling kidnapping cases. He can show me the right way to save my third cousin..."

Seeing Xiao Lingxiao's sincerity, Jing Zhaoyin wanted to ask why she didn't give this note to her father, the Prime Minister, but when he thought of her and her third cousin's situation in the Prime Minister's house, he suddenly understood. This note fell into Xiao Lingxiao's hands. It must be that the Xiao family is pretending to be deaf and dumb. They don't want to spend money to redeem Xiao Fengming.

In a big family like the Xiao family, they will not come to Jing Zhaoyin to report the case unless they have to. Even if the case is reported, what they need is not Jing Zhaoyin to give them a proper treatment or find out the truth. They just need to get a statement they want to gag outsiders. The position of Jing Zhaoyin is actually a tool in their hands, an inconspicuous slave.

But looking at Xiao Lingxiao today, Jing Zhaoyin found that she seemed to be really asking herself for help.

"Miss Xiao, I put the ugly words in front of me. If you report the case here, how to do this matter, but you have to listen to me." Jing Zhaoyin frowned and said to Xiao Lingxiao.

Xiao Lingxiao nodded when he heard the words, "It's all up to you. As long as you can save my third cousin safely, no matter how much money you have, I will find a way to raise it. What should you do? I will never question your decision."

Hearing Xiao Lingxiao's words, Jing Zhaoyin immediately nodded with satisfaction. He got up and walked a few laps with his hands behind his back, thought about it, and then said to Xiao Lingxiao, "The robbers want the silver, but when they get the money, they are afraid that they will tear up the tickets and kill the third son, so we can't give them the money yet. I will now start to investigate the identity of these robbers and their hiding place. Just in case, Miss Xiao, you should also collect as much money as possible in case of emergency.

Xiao Lingxiao got up and nodded vigorously, and left the government door gratefully.

Jing Zhaoyin secretly made up his mind to treat this matter as an ordinary kidnapping case before the imperial edict arrived. If Xiao Fengming could be successfully rescued, if the case in the rich family was investigated again in the future, he would no longer be called as a slave.

Jing Zhao Yin Mao tried his best to investigate the case. As soon as the government messengers spread it out, the news spread all over the corners of the imperial city in an instant like the wind blowing leaves.

Xiao Lingxiao took people around his stores, arranged the business, and went to Shang Lingyu specially. When Shang Lingyu heard that Xiao Fengming had been kidnapped, she was not surprised. She just told Xiao Lingxiao lightly that Xiao Fengming's life was important. If the money to redeemer was not enough, she could also help.

Although Xiao Lingxiao said thank you, he vaguely felt that there was something hidden in Shang Lingyu's indifferent attitude. This woman has always been mysterious, and Xiao Lingxiao can't delve into it now.

After turning around, Xiao Lingxiao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as her carriage stopped, she saw the housekeeper coming forward and said with a bitter face, "Miss, you are back. The master is angry. Let you go to the study to see him immediately after you come back."

Xiao Lingxiao followed the housekeeper all the way to the study. When he entered the door, he saw Xiao Shuyong sitting behind the desk with a black face.

Xiao Shuyong saw Xiao Lingxiao coming, waved away the housekeeper, and then snorted, "Did you go to Jingzhao Yin's office?"

Xiao Lingxiao nodded.

"Do you know how much you have lost to the Xiao family by doing this!" Xiao Shuyong slapped the table fiercely and said angrily, "Which big family has no descendants to be hijacked? Look who went to report to the official! Isn't this kind of thing waiting for people to point at our Xiao family to see jokes!"

Xiao Lingxiao looked at Xiao Shuyong coldly and said, "Fengming is the only son of the third uncle and the only heir of the third wife. The third uncle is not here. His father doesn't intend to let Fengming be abducted like this, will he?"

Xiao Shuyong slapped the table again, "Be presumptuous! When did I say that? Can't the Xiao family and the Prime Minister's mansion save a Xiao Fengming?

"Oh? So, has his father sent someone to rescue him? Xiao Lingxiao snorted coldly.

Xiao Shuyong frowned. If Xiao Lingxiao hadn't mentioned Xiao Shumou, Xiao Shuyong would have almost forgotten that the bitch who had been following Xiao Lingxiao to help her take care of everything was the son brought back by his third brother. No matter how the stinky boy looks or talks, there is no place similar to the Xiao family. How can he be a descendant of the Xiao family! How could the Xiao family make money for him? What's more, it is common to be kidnapped in a large family for so many years. Even if they pay money, few people come back in the end. Nine times out of ten, Xiao Fengming is dead now.

"The best guards in the house have been sent by me to find people. Do you have any doubts about this?" Even if he didn't do something, Xiao Shuyong expected that Xiao Lingxiao would not bite the questioning, so he simply lied righteously. Seeing that Xiao Lingxiao did not refute, he continued, "I heard from the old lady that you have gone to prepare the money for redemption. This matter is left to my father, and all the money will be handed over to me. I will redeem the Feng Ming.

Shameless things!

Xiao Lingxiao fiercely scolded the man in front of her who was going to be called her father. She lived in another world in her previous life and had seen so many dirty people, but she didn't feel anything because it had nothing to do with her. But after coming to this world, she found that if a person is shameless, it really makes people hate it so much that they want to bite him!
