One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.
The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.
Before...
Speaking of ambush, Fang Wenhai sighed.
"Miss Pei, I just want to rescue my wife, not hurt anyone."
"What? The people who ambushed you were our own people?" Pei Jiao sneered at his soft-hearted words. However, she was doing the job for money and it was just to save one person, so she didn't want to care about anything else.
"Yes, that man is my cousin." It turned out that Fang Wenhai's cousin had been coveting Fang Wenhai's property for a long time. Fang Wenhai and his wife had no children over the years, and his cousin had repeatedly wanted to adopt a child to him, but was rejected by Fang Wenhai.
Especially this time, Fang Wenhai's cousin accidentally heard Fang Wenhai and his wife talking about going to the south to find an heir, which made Fang Wenhai's cousin angry. He decided to go all out and secretly kidnapped Fang Wenhai and his wife on the road.
Fang Wenhai's cousin threatened Fang Wenhai to write a transfer letter. Fang Wenhai disagreed. Fang Wenhai's cousin Fang Wenshan then locked up Fang Wenhai and his wife, depriving them of food and water, in an attempt to force Fang Wenhai to compromise.
Last night, Fang Wenhai's wife secretly bit the ropes on Fang Wenhai's body and took the initiative to go to the toilet to distract the guards. Fang Wenhai then ran out to find someone to help.
But he didn't expect that he would faint on the way.
"That's not right. With your speed, shouldn't you have already walked past the place where your wife is being held captive?"
"No, my cousin and his team also had a convoy, but they didn't have many people. When they faced my men, they suffered a lot of casualties." This was also the reason why Fang Wenhai was able to escape.
"How can you be sure they'll still go to the North City? What if they change their route and go south?"
"No, if you want to transfer it, it must be in North City." The reason is that the Fang family's main branch is there. If Fang Wenhai's cousin wants to get Fang Wenhai's property, he has to get the approval of the elders of the family.
Therefore, before the transfer, Fang Wenhai's wife was safe.
Pei Jiao suddenly remembered the rules of the big family and instantly understood the reason.
Beicheng is very close to the capital.
Pei Jiao didn't say anything else. Pei Chen came over and invited Pei Jiao and the others to eat. After Xu Ning finished eating the melon, he patted his butt and left.
Xu Feng looked at the old man, then at his sister, and sure enough, he followed Xu Ning.
"Old Fang, let's eat something together. Afterwards, tell me everything in detail. If there's any news tonight, I'll rescue your wife tonight."
To avoid unnecessary trouble, if something happens to Mrs. Fang Wenhai, wouldn’t her ten thousand taels be gone?
"Okay, thank you Miss Pei!" Fang Wenhai bent down and bowed to Pei Jiao, who immediately jumped away, "Let's talk about it after we save the person."
After Pei Jiao finished speaking, she followed Xu Feng.
Fang Wenhai hadn't eaten for a whole day and night and was extremely hungry. If he didn't know that his wife would be fine in his cousin's hands, he would not be able to eat anything and would have wanted to rush back immediately.
But he still had some sense in his head, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to his wife's plan last night.
As the night deepened, the drone released by Xu Ning finally found another convoy.
Xu Ning saw a few scattered people and three carriages, but did not see Fang Wenhai's wife.
Xu Ning lowered the drone a little and heard Fang Wenhai's cousin's people saying something about fainting and whether he was dead.
Xu Ning didn't dare to delay. After all, Fang Wenhai was already an old man, and his wife was probably also old. Without food or drink and with the bumpy ride, Xu Ning was afraid that Pei Jiao's ten thousand taels would be wasted!
"Sister Pei, let's go now!" Making money is important!
At the same time, from the direction of the north city, a group of people were rushing towards Xu Ning's road!
