150th Transit foraging
Xirong Lane, Yuanqi General Number.
When he heard that the shopkeeper Yi Zhizu was kidnapped on his way to Shunde, Kong Jian'an's mind was blank as if the sky had collapsed. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Come on, go to the Guangzhou branch immediately to invite shopkeeper Liang!"
Liang Jiemin hurried over and was shocked to hear the news for a long time. When he came to his senses, his first thought was whether it was the Shunde Si Shang. He immediately sent someone to call He Shutai and Wang Chaoyi. Then he asked, "Shopkeeper Kong did not report to the official, right?"
"No." Kong Jian'an shook his head and said, "The boss was captured. Most of the other party wanted to extort money. If he rashly reported the boss, it would probably endanger the life of the boss."
"Shopkeeper Kong is worried about not reporting to the official for now." Liang Jiemin said, pondering for a moment, then continued: "Does Shisanxing know about this?"
"It should have been known." Kong Jian'an said: "There are two Wu's guard guards who are accompanying the shopkeeper."
"Can you send someone to inform me?"
"The shopkeeper and the servant Li Wang have rushed to Futaixing to report."
Liang Jiemin nodded and pondered for a moment before he said, "If the other party kidnapped the shopkeeper in order to extort money, he would definitely notify Yuanqi General Account or Yifu to issue specific amounts of money and delivery methods. The other party would not and dare not ask for silver notes, but should prepare cash."
It is easy for the money shop to deal with silver notes. No matter how stupid a thief is, he will not be stupid enough to ask for silver notes. Although this is the first time Kong Jian'an has encountered such a thing, he still understands this and immediately asked: "How much cash should I prepare?"
"I'm afraid the amount will not be small." Liang Jiemin said: "Prepare twenty...500,000 first. Yuan Qi is famous now, so the other party may open his mouth." After a pause, he continued: "Shopkeeper Kong does not need to panic. The kidnappers also have rules for kidnappers. Generally, they will not tear up the tickets at will. You can just sit in the general account. I'll go to the Thirteenth Street Merchants Office to see what the Thirteenth Street is. We can't take the initiative of this ransom."
"Shunde Si Trading..."
"When you come, ask them to wait in the general office." Liang Jiemin said, bowing and leaving quickly.
Flower land, Banyan green garden.
A small boat quickly drove into the backyard dock. As soon as the boat landed, Huang Dianyuan and Yao Qichang, who were alias Su Yunhai, jumped ashore. Su Mengdie, who had been waiting at the dock, hurried forward. Before he could see the salute, Huang Dianyuan said in a deep voice: "What's wrong? I'm so anxious."
"Yi Zhizu was kidnapped..." Su Mengdie said and reposted Wan Li Anfu's report.
After listening carefully, Huang Dianyuan frowned and said, "Who has such great ability in Guangzhou? The Triad?"
"It shouldn't be." Su Mengdie said: "The Sanhe Association is based in Guangdong, and it is impossible to act so unscrupulously. Yi Jingsheng is not only the shopkeeper of Yuanqi, but also the son of the Thirteenth Army. It is also highly valued by Wu Bingjian. Even if the Sanhe Association wants money, it will not take the means of kidnapping. It should not be the Sanhe Association. The local small gang dare not offend Shisanxing and Yuanqi like this. It should be the gang that came to Chaoshan to find food."
"We still have some friendship in Chaoshan." Huang Dianyuan said: "Don't worry, I'll contact them immediately and I'll notify you when there is any news."
Su Mengdie hurriedly squatted and said, "Thank you, Young Master."
Yao Qichang then spoke, "Is the silver okay?"
"What can silver do?" Su Mengdie glanced at him and said, "The silver was taken to Shunde by the ticket, and it was not with him, so there would be no problem."
At the north entrance of Tongwen Street, Thirteen-Shanghai Business Office.
Upon hearing the news, a group of merchants put down their affairs and rushed to the office meeting hall. The Qing Dynasty has not been peaceful in recent years, but Guangzhou is still peaceful. It is rare to hear about kidnappers kidnapped wealthy businessmen and extorted them. Unexpectedly, this kind of thing would happen to Yi Zhizu. The merchants were mostly suspicious. It is very likely that Yuan Qi monopolized the money market in Guangzhou and manipulated the tea market. However, this was fortunate to gloat. No one dared to say that they were all Yuan Qi's owners. In addition, the tea market collapsed, and the Thirteen Traders and the Thirteen Traders also benefited the most. All of this was a blessing to Yi Zhizu.
Yi Yunchang was not in the office, but went to Wu's garden. After hearing Li Wang's report, he calmed down and thought of Wu Bingjian the first time he was thinking of Wu Bingjian. Among the thirteen ties, he was probably the only one who was truly capable of saving Yi Shishu.
Liang Jiemin hurried to the meeting hall of the Shangshang Office. After entering the door and bowing to the ceremony, he did not politely and said directly: "Everyone is here, that's the best. The shopkeeper was captured and the thief was just asking for money. I also asked the boss to show you whether the ransom will be paid directly by Yuan Qi? How much amount can I pay?"
Yan Qichang stood up and expressed his opinion: "No matter how much the other party wants, please give it to him. But one thing is that you must ensure the safety of your nephew Yi Xian's life. Otherwise, our thirteen teams will spare a huge bounty to fight against evil spirits all over the world!"
"What I said is that money is small, but life is big." Wu Tianyuan quickly echoed: "The most important thing at the moment is to ensure the safety of Nephew Yi Xian."
After the two of them made a statement, the merchants agreed, and no one was willing to fall behind. The voices of the people were lowered. The general manager Pan Zhengwei said slowly: "Shopkeeper Liang, Yuan Qi and Shisanxing are originally a family. Shisanxing will definitely spare no effort in rescuing Yida Manager Yi. If the bandits extort, they will definitely notify Yuan Qi. With the news, I hope that Manager Liang will communicate with you in time."
"Should this be the case." Liang Jiemin responded quickly, and paused slightly. He then asked: "Does the boss need to be reported to the official when he was abducted?"
"Don't report to the official in a hurry." Pan Zhengwei said: "The Thirteenth Army has sent people to inquire through various channels to rescue, so it is not advisable to report to the official at this time."
Shunde, Xingtan Town.
It was dark and before it was dark, two large ships slowly approached a dock at the entrance of the town. It was the season for spring cocoons to be launched, and there were many ships parked, and no one paid attention to it. The people on the dock seemed to be familiar and greeted warmly.
Yi Zhizu stood on the boat and looked around. It was dark and he couldn't see clearly if he didn't know where this place was. He was too lazy to ask more questions. After a day, no one paid attention to him, and asking questions was boring.
"Be honest, don't make trouble for yourself." A man warned him viciously, and then urged him: "Dropping off the boat, what are you looking at?"
"Be kind!" The man in the lead walked out slowly and scolded: "You can also shout at the shopkeeper Yi Da?"
Yi Zhizu glanced back at him and said nothing. The other party was not saying anything. He was indeed quite polite to him. At least he was not tied up or gag. He locked him in a cabin and didn't care about his life or death. He had no food or drink for a day. He was now hungry and thirsty, and he was not energetic and nonsense. He immediately took his bag and went up the shore along the springboard.
