"Too much." The second in command, who was drinking with the boss, also stood up. They had been in the capital for such a long time that they had become impatient.
"Everyone come out and act according to the plan." At the command of the second in command, more than a dozen people took action.
The young woman who appeared in Qian Chunhua's shop pulled out a carriage from the stable, ready to leave Yongning Prefecture immediately after succeeding.
They had to guard against the Dong family reporting to the police and turning the entire city upside down.
While Madam Dong was squatting to light the lanterns, the bandits deliberately created chaos. Although Madam Dong was without her maids, servants and guards, the bandits were able to easily snatch Dong Cong from the maid.
The crowd suddenly became chaotic. The bandits who had snatched the child covered Zhou Cong's nose with a sleeping pill, which quickly made him fall into a coma and prevented him from shouting.
The other bandits disguised themselves as ordinary people and blocked the Dong family's way.
Dong Cong was kidnapped and immediately put on a carriage. After being forced to drink a bowl of knockout drug, the young couple drove the carriage away from Yongning Prefecture overnight.
When Mrs. Dong learned that her son had been kidnapped, she was so frightened that two and a half souls died, and she hurried back to the Dong family.
Old Madam Dong and Dong Mingshan were very anxious, thinking they had encountered a beggar and were ready to report to the police immediately.
At this moment, the second in command appeared in front of the Dong residence and asked the doorman to pass on a message, saying that he had news about the young master of the Dong family.
The second in command of Niubei Mountain is dressed like a scholar and has a gentle manner.
He was invited into the lobby by Dong Mingshan. When he explained his purpose, Mrs. Dong became furious. Are the bandits so rampant nowadays?
You stole my child, and yet you dare to come to my house so brazenly?
"Old lady, please calm down." The second in command stood up and bowed, "Compared to your grandson, my life is worthless. Please think twice."
From the beginning to the end, Dong Mingshan made one statement. He could see that this person came prepared.
Now that my son is in their hands, I have to be cautious.
"Master Dong, we are just seeking wealth. Times are difficult, please understand, Master Dong..." The second in command was polite.
Dong Mingshan didn't say anything. The other party's request was neither difficult nor easy.
But this matter was not done immediately. They only wanted 10,000 taels of gold, no banknotes or silver, and they only gave five days to raise the money.
"I want to see the child first." Dong Mingshan is not stupid. He is afraid that the other party is trying to trick him.
The second in command smiled and shook his head. "No, the child is in our hands, don't worry. Remember our conditions. One, you cannot report to the authorities, and two, you must pay gold to ransom him. After five days, wait for our notification and give the ransom when you see him."
After finishing speaking, the second in command turned around and left without waiting for Dong Mingshan and Mrs. Dong to respond. As for whether they really went to prepare the gold, they had their own way to confirm it.
If the world were not in chaos now, these bandits would not dare to be so rampant.
"Someone, stop him." Old Madam Dong was furious and took the initiative to come to the door, wanting to get away safely.
"Mom..." Dong Mingshan hurriedly stopped his mother.
The second in command stopped, turned around, looked over, and asked with a smile, "Are you sure?"
Old Madam Dong felt a suffocating breath in her chest, and she was so angry that her teeth were itching. She was not a lady of high rank and didn't understand anything. She knew everything very well, but she just couldn't swallow this breath.
"Forget it." Madam Dong's momentum weakened, and Dong Mingshan supported her.
Dong Mingshan waved at the servants who were about to arrest him, asking them to let the man go.
The second in command sneered and walked away.
Dong Mingshan and his mother were very angry, but they had to do as they asked.
The next day, Dong Mingshan was busy mobilizing money houses to raise gold. Ten thousand taels of gold was a drop in the bucket for the Dong family.
