The four people were left here for a short time.
Someone came and asked Jing Qingrong to write a letter for help, and asked him to put his fingerprints on it. He also took away his seal, saying that it was to deliver the letter to the Jing family.
It looks pretty realistic.
A long time passed.
The three of them had been left here for a long time and were starving. They had rushed back without even having lunch. If they had known this would happen, they should have listened to Feng Zhengqing and had lunch before leaving.
Su Liuer estimated that more than three hours had passed before someone else came.
It was a man with a red scarf who was leading the group, and he had two men with him.
He had the black cloth covering Jing Qingrong, Qingfeng and Su Liuer's eyes removed.
Then he said, "I've sent the letter to the nearest Jing family store. I wonder if your life, as the young master of the Jing family, can be exchanged for the ten thousand taels of gold? What if your father refuses to pay, then all my efforts will be in vain, and I'll lose money."
The man in the red scarf took the rag from Jing Qingrong's mouth.
Jing Qingrong said: "My father will save me."
The man in the red scarf nodded and said with a smile, "Mr. Jing, you are very confident. In fact, I have great confidence in you as well. After all, you are the only son of the Jing family. If you die, your family will have no one to inherit your great fortune. However, what if someone in your Jing family sees that letter and doesn't believe it?"
Jing Qingrong frowned and said, "What do you want me to do? As long as you don't harm the lives of the four of us, I will cooperate with whatever you want me to do."
"How about this, you choose one of them, and I'll have someone take you out to get the money. If you come back with the money, I'll let you go too. If not, I'll kill you too."
The two people the man in the red scarf was talking about were Qingfeng and Su Liuer.
Qingfeng leaned forward, meaning to let him go.
Jing Qingrong also wanted him to go.
"But let me make it clear first, I have to cut off the tongue of the person I send over, just in case." The man in the red scarf added.
Jing Qingrong was completely stunned, and so was Qingfeng.
Only Su Liuer felt even more suspicious. What on earth did this person want to do?
Just take the money. It would be fine if you could just block my mouth and stop me from talking like you are doing now. Why do you have to cut off my tongue?
It's obviously a waste of time.
The man in the red scarf reached out and took the cloth out of Qingfeng and Su Liuer's mouths.
He said to the two of them, "Why don't you two tell me who is better to go?"
Qingfeng glanced at Su Liuer, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'll go!"
Su Liuer looked at Qingfeng in surprise. This child is so righteous.
Jing Qingrong looked at Qingfeng in shock and heartache. He shook his head and said, "No!"
He looked at the man in the red scarf and said, "You just want money. Qingfeng and I grew up together. Your people will definitely get the money if they take him there! If you don't want him to talk nonsense, just block his mouth like you did just now. Why do you have to cut off his tongue?"
The man in the red scarf laughed out loud.
He nodded and said, "You're right, but I just think it's better to cut off the tongue. Now, are you qualified to bargain with me? Choose quickly!"
"No need to choose, I'll go!" Su Liuer suddenly said.
Compared to Qingfeng, she is naturally more capable of protecting herself, and it is impossible for these people to cut off her tongue.
"Oh my god! The young master and I grew up together, and the people of the Jing family recognize me! The person who takes me to the Jing family will believe that the young master is in your hands!" Qingfeng said again.
Su Liuer: ...This silly child.
"Besides, she knows kung fu, so it's not safe to take her with her!" Qingfeng added.
Su Liuer: ...This child is really stupid.
