Chapter 266: Use the enemy’s trick against them!
Soon, the queen, who was still drinking tea and chatting, received the news.
She exchanged a smile with Huan Yingsi, "Your idea is still the best. I've already said that the position of Crown Princess belongs to you. Marrying into an ordinary family will ultimately bury you."
A complex expression flashed across Huan Yingsi's eyes, and she said obediently, "I'll obey my aunt in everything."
There was a hint of satisfaction in the queen's eyes.
Song Laosan got up early in the morning and went out. He was going to discuss business with someone today. He met this person by chance recently. It was said that his family had a big ceramic business, which touched Song Laosan's sore spot.
Some time ago, he stockpiled a lot of goods and planned to sell them at the border. Everything there was good, except these exquisite and valuable items, which were rare. He thought he would be able to sell them at a good price there, but he didn't expect the border to be in chaos, and this batch of goods was temporarily placed in a corner and gathered dust.
The amount of goods was not too much, but not too little either. Song Laosan bought the goods himself and spent his own money on them. When he thought about splitting up and living on his own, he was extremely reluctant to have these goods end up in his hands.
When the other party heard this, he immediately decided to buy the goods from Song Laosan at a fair price.
Song Laosan was also happy, and he went out early in the morning.
..
"Young Master." A Lin knocked on the door of Pei Ji's study.
"What's the matter?" Pei Ji put down the book in his hand and rubbed his forehead. Ever since he came back, the Pei family has become more and more uneasy.
"Sir, our people received some news. I heard that the person involved is Miss Song San's father, so I came to inform you."
"Go ahead."
Alin quickly told the whole story about the suspicious person who had been spreading the news of wanting to collect goods all over Beijing.
"The price is fair and will not arouse suspicion. Someone has set a trap for Song Ci's father." Pei Ji said what he was thinking without any doubt.
"I think so too. However, Miss Song San's father has no enemies and is a kind person. He never does anything to harm others. Who is trying to harm him?"
The slender fingers tapped the table rhythmically, making a "knock knock knock" sound.
He paused, then opened his thin lips and said in a cold tone, "I'm afraid it's the Song family."
"The Song family? Family members harming each other, in this world..." Alin suddenly stopped talking, thinking about the person in front of him, wasn't he harmed by his family?
Fortunately, Pei Ji ignored his gaffe and quickly ordered, "Send someone to follow them, don't alert the enemy. Make sure to bring Song Ci's father back safely, and then find out who set the trap."
After thinking for a moment, he stood up and said decisively, "Forget it, I'll go there myself."
Ah Lin was stunned, muttering to himself, as expected, as long as it was related to Miss Song San, the young master would not follow the old rules. Back then, when Prince Yu was in trouble, the young master had only given a few casual instructions and hadn't even shown any interest in going to see it in person.
When it came to Miss Song San, things were suddenly different.
...........
It would be better if Song Laosan was with someone in a nearby teahouse. By the time he arrived, the person would have already arrived.
He sat down and apologized, "Brother Zhang, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
He was a little puzzled. They had clearly agreed to meet at this time. He came neither early nor late, but it looked like he had been waiting for a long time.
The man called Brother Zhang looked to be about forty years old, with dark skin. When he smiled, the corners of his eyes popped out, but he looked very friendly.
"Nothing, Brother Song, please sit down and have a cup of tea first and then we can talk."
Song Laosan was also thirsty, so he drank the tea that was handed to him without thinking.
I just feel that the taste of this tea seems a little different today. Brother Zhang on the opposite side continued: "I don't know where Brother Song's goods are stored now."
Song Lao San told the man where the goods were stored. The man thought for a moment and said, "How about I go take a look with Brother Song first? I happened to be out in a carriage today, so why not go together?"
Seeing that he was so active in promoting the deal, Song Laosan was happy to see it succeed and agreed immediately.
After paying for the tea, the two of them got in the carriage and left.
It was not known how long had passed, but Old Third Song slowly woke up. He covered his aching head and walked around, then saw Brother Zhang huddled in the corner with his mouth blocked.
"Zhang, Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you? Where are we now?" As he was about to raise his hand to untie the rope on Brother Zhang's hands, he was stopped by Alin who had just entered the room.
"You, who are you?" Song Laosan took a few steps back in fear, ready to run away if anything went wrong.
His mind was still full of thoughts about who these people were who had kidnapped him and Brother Zhang.
"Master Song San, you forgot me so quickly." A Lin said with a smile.
Song Lao San thought hard and finally felt that the person in front of him looked familiar. After careful recollection, he said, "You are, you are the one following behind Master Pei."
Ah Lin touched his nose. Was he really that inconspicuous? He was obviously very handsome.
"It's me."
Song Lao San pointed at Brother Zhang who was tied up and said, "Then, then what is going on here?"
Alin then explained the whole story to Song Laosan, and told him that this man was not a businessman at all, nor was he from another place. He lived in a village outside Beijing and his name was Zhang Erlai.
"But why would he plot against me? I don't have any enemies, I don't owe anyone money, and I don't cheat or harm anyone." Song Lao San was so scared that cold sweats broke out on his back.
No wonder he didn't remember anything after drinking tea and getting on the carriage.
I guess there must be something wrong with that cup of tea.
If he hadn't been rescued by Master Pei's men today, he would have been in danger.
"We just interrogated this guy. We used some tricks... and he confessed everything."
"You tell me." Song Laosan was also curious about who was trying to harm him in such a sinister way.
Song Laosan was waiting for the answer when he saw some pity in Alin's eyes. His heart skipped a beat and he instantly guessed a possibility.
"Zhang Erlai was bribed by your Song family to come and capture you. Zhang Erlai doesn't know why he captured you, he's only responsible for capturing you and beating you up. The other party said as long as you're still breathing, it's fine."
"hiss."
Song Laosan was so frightened by the other party's cruelty that he gasped.
Just to keep your breath? You're trying to destroy yourself!
"Sir, I have a request."
Being called "Sir" by the young master's future father-in-law, A Lin almost lost his balance and waved his hands, "Young master, I don't deserve it. Mr. Song San, why don't you call me A Lin?"
"Okay, A-Lin. Let's see if we can take advantage of their situation and see what they're planning to do."
Alin glanced at Song Laosan and felt a bit of admiration in his heart. He thought of turning the tables on the opponent so quickly, and he was quite smart.
