What Lian Xiaomin said were the last two lines of a seven-character regulated verse written by Lou Yu in the Song Dynasty, "Presented to the Taoist Master Baozang".
It was also the secret code agreed upon by Pei Zhaojia and Cao Baojiang.
If you are unable to go in person due to special circumstances and have to ask someone else to pick up the money, you can just hand the money over to that person.
These two lines of poetry are the only evidence.
Cao Baojiang will do everything according to this person's instructions.
As soon as he finished speaking, the person in the room put down the stove hook and opened the door immediately.
The midsummer night is very quiet, and a bright moon hangs high in the night sky.
The moonlight sprinkled in the yard, and the old man clearly saw that the person who came was actually a young girl, and he was a little surprised.
This man was dressed neatly in black, with a pair of exceptionally bright eyes on his small face, which was the size of a palm.
Her hair was tied up high in a ponytail.
This dashing and agile spirit makes him look like a martial artist, but he is too young, maybe fifteen...
But he knew in his heart that this was the person who took the Pei family's money, and this day had finally come.
This was the original agreement. No matter who came, as long as he said the poem, his mission was to obey the arrangements and hand over the things.
But now I have a bad feeling, maybe something happened to Pei Zhaojia.
"Come in and talk." First let the other person into the house and light a kerosene lamp.
Lian Xiaomin looked at the "weapon" that the old man put down and shrank his neck.
There is no option of "being beaten to death by a furnace hook" in her life, hmm.
The room is quite spacious, about 40 square meters. There are no big kangs in the south, so there is just a wooden bed next to the window.
The two sat down at a table near the door, and Cao Baojiang asked anxiously, "Did something happen to him that prevented him from coming in person?"
This "he" must be referring to Pei Zhaojia.
"Yes, something happened to the Pei family, and it has been quite some time."
Lian Xiaomin looked at the old man with an anxious face, nodded, lowered her voice, and briefly told him the whole story.
In fact, she could have said nothing and just taken the treasure, and the other party would have done so.
But that wasn't her plan.
The purpose of this trip is not just to take things away.
After listening to this, Cao Baojiang felt a pain in his chest. He really couldn't accept it.
I didn't expect things to develop like this. No wonder there has been no news from Zhao Jia in the past year.
No matter what, in the past, the two would meet secretly at least once a year.
Seeing such a wealthy and powerful family fall down in an instant, and the whole family was persecuted to such a state by that beastly son-in-law.
Doesn't this sound distressing?
He really wanted to do whatever it took to kill the man named Hu himself.
However, we have to finish the task at hand first.
He asked, "Excuse me, what should I call you? You came here tonight... to take everything away at once?"
Lian Xiaomin looked at him, raised the corner of her mouth, and said, "Mr. Cao, my name is Lian Xiaomin. I've already told you my origins. I'm from the village where Pei Ziqiu went to work in the countryside."
"I am indeed going to take away all the money that Mr. Pei has deposited with you tonight. He gave the last of his fortune to his only granddaughter, and Zi Qiu gave it all to me, only asking me to rescue her two brothers, but..."
Cao Baojiang listened to her quietly.
"I not only want to rescue Pei Zixi and Pei Ziyan, but also all the Pei family members! I don't plan to keep all this money for myself, I will make other arrangements."
She briefly outlined her future plans.
"Now I want to ask you, are you willing to follow the Pei family and leave? I can take you with me. If you find it hard to leave your hometown, you can continue to live like this in Caojia Village."
"You know that even if the Pei family escapes, they have nowhere to go. Now there is only one way, which is to develop in Hong Kong..."
When Cao Baojiang heard this, he was completely stunned, and the excitement that he could not contain seemed to burst out from his eyes.
He clenched his hands, his fingers trembled slightly, and for an instant he felt all the hairs on his body stand up.
"Can you really save all the people in the Pei family? There are nine of them... plus me, there are ten people! Old and young, it will be extremely difficult to escape to Hong Kong..."
"I am an old man, all alone, with no ties here. My brother Zhaojia is my only relative... I am willing to go with you! Although I am old, I am still useful for business. If we can really arrive safely, I am willing to follow your arrangements!"
Lian Xiaomin nodded solemnly: "I can do everything I said. Otherwise, I would have taken the money and left. Why would I have to do this?"
She admired in her heart that Cao Baojiang was a real character who could make such a big decision so decisively in such a short time without any hesitation or wasting any time.
He is worthy of being a capable man of the Pei family, the leader of Shanghai's business community.
In fact, Cao Baojiang was a little unsure. Just by showing up out of nowhere, could this extremely difficult task really be accomplished?
However, based on his keen sense, he felt that despite his young age, this person was definitely not ordinary.
There is an old saying in the past that if a wandering person encounters a lone woman or a young child, he must not underestimate them, because if they do not have extraordinary abilities and self-defense skills, they will never dare to go out alone.
He thought to himself, no matter what, he should save people first. The Pei family is already in this situation, so there is nothing to worry about.
If the person can be rescued as the little girl said, then this person must have extraordinary power, and the subsequent way out... those plans must have a high probability of being achieved.
This is a fight to the death.
He looked at everything in his simple room, and thought about Pei Zhaojia and his family who were in prison. It was not difficult to make this decision.
Looking at the person in front of me, I know in my heart that there is nothing about me that is worthy of being deceived, so let it be.
The two of them briefly discussed the details of the operation without wasting any more time.
Cao Baojiang stood up, found a flashlight, and was ready to take her to where the treasure was hidden immediately.
The things were not in his own yard, but were hidden in the dilapidated ancestral house of the Cao family and buried somewhere underground.
The ancestral house had long been uninhabitable and had fallen into disrepair, and was in danger of collapsing at any time. No one would have imagined that there was a treasure trove of gold and silver hidden underground.
After blowing out the oil lamp in the house, the two men walked out to the yard, took the tractor and two shovels.
Just as she was about to walk out of the gate, Lian Xiaomin suddenly felt that there seemed to be someone in the yard next door.
The subtle sound of moving footsteps did not escape her keen ears.
She winked at the old man, indicating that there were ears on the other side of the wall.
Cao Baojiang was shocked. The third household at the entrance of the village was occupied by his old neighbor Ding Tiezhu's family of eight. They had lived together for many years. Could it be that...
