Chapter 1054 Remorse (1)
Gai Chun was almost angry to death. Originally, they insisted that these bandits would definitely compromise. But with Chen Zhan's words, there was no room for negotiation.
The bandit leader didn't want to quit anymore, although there were no other pilgrims except Gu Xian and his group today. But the longer the delay, there might be variables.
He pointed at Gu Xian and said to Gai Chun, "Leave her behind, you can go down the mountain."
As for Chen Zhan, it is definitely impossible to let him go down the mountain. If one more hostage, there will be more guarantee.
Gu Xian's face was pale, but she still looked at the bandit leader firmly and said, "I will never go with you even if I die."
Tan Xing grabbed her arm and said, "Madam, don't do stupid things..."
Gu Xian shook her head and said, "If I am taken away by these people, I will destroy my reputation. What face will I have to live in this world at that time? Instead of living in humiliation, it is better to stop myself now."
When Gai Chun heard Gu Xian say this, he also made a decision in his heart: "We will make a compromise each other, you will take the second master away and we will go home to raise money."
Seeing that the bandit leader was still staring at Gu Xian, Gai Chun said, "My wife regards reputation as more important than life. If you insist on catching my wife, then we will have to die. Maybe next year's day is our death day."
The bandit leader stared at Gu Xian and said, "Famousness is more important than your life, so let me see if you die."
When Tan Xing heard this, she handed Gu Xian the fruit knife that got out of the car, then pointed to her chest and said, "Madam, stab here and kill him with one knife."
Gu Xian's hands holding the dagger were trembling: "Tan Xing, if you have the chance to see Qingshu, you tell her that I am sorry for her in this life. If there is a next life, I will definitely love her."
After saying this, she held the dagger in both hands and stabbed it into her heart, but the knife was knocked down by Tan Xing before it was close to her chest.
Tan Xing held Gu Xian and said coldly to the bandit leader: "You also saw that my wife was not scaring you. If you insist on taking her away, it would be a death-and-death battle. But I want to remind you that my wife's aunt is Mrs. Qi, and my eldest girl's adoptive father is the Duke of Zhenguo in the current dynasty. If my wife is really killed by you, even if you escape to the ends of the world, my girl will find you and avenge her."
The hatred of killing mother was irreconcilable, so the bandit leader did not doubt Tan Xing's words. They just wanted to make money, but they didn't want to attract an enemy who would never die with them, so the bandit leader finally gave in: "Fifty thousand taels of silver."
Gai Chun said: "At most, 30,000 taels of silver, and none of these silver has to be borrowed from others."
The bandit leader will not compromise again this time. He said: "Fifty thousand taels of silver will be sent to Niujiao Mountain after dark tomorrow. Fifty thousand taels of silver will be given 1,000 taels of gold and 40,000 taels of silver from Huitong Money House. If you dare to bring the officers and soldiers, then you will wait to collect his body."
Chen Zhan couldn't listen anymore and shouted at Gai Chun, "Gai Chun, I am my father's son, you can't leave me behind."
Gai Chun said, "Second Master, don't worry, I will bring the ransom to redeem you."
Chen Zhan roared angrily: "Rank money, our family has no money, where can we go to collect 50,000 taels of silver? Gaichun, if you leave me, they will kill me."
Gai Chun ignored him and said to the bandit leader: "Okay, 50,000 taels, I will take the ransom to the ox horn fan tomorrow night."
Seeing that it was unreasonable, Chen Zhan became anxious immediately. He begged Gu Xian: "Mom, haven't you always said that you treat me like a biological son? If you really treat me like a biological son, just exchange it with me. You can leave me back to raise money."
When Gu Xian heard this, he looked up at Chen Zhan.
Chen Zhan was very smart at this moment. Thinking of what Gu Xian said, he shouted: "You are so old, even if you are tied up by them, no one will gossip about you, and my father will not dislike you."
Gai Chun knew that Chen Zhan was a fool, but he didn't expect that he was so cowardly and selfish.
Gu Xian looked at Chen Zhan blankly when he heard this, and finally Tan Xing helped her onto the carriage. After getting onto the carriage, Tan Xing comforted her and said, "Madam, don't be afraid, it's okay."
No matter how Tan Xing coaxed or comforted him, Gu Xian kept her head down and said nothing.
When he got home, Gai Chun sent Gu Xian back to the backyard and went to find Chen Tao. It was okay to say that 40,000 taels of silver notes were given. Chen Shaozhou gave him 20,000 taels of silver notes before leaving. In addition, the ones at home and shops could be borrowed from others. It was a bit difficult to raise 1,000 taels of gold in one day.
"You can only go to the money house to exchange."
Gai Chun said, "Are you afraid that someone will suspicion?"
"Even if they are suspicious, they won't meddle in other people's business." Chen Tao said: "When we rescue Azhan, we will report to the officials. We must arrest these bandits."
Gai Chun said: "This matter has nothing to do with Ho Ying-wei, and he must be arrested."
At this moment, an old woman ran over in panic and said that Gu Xian was going to go out.
Chen Tao rushed to the backyard and saw Gu Xian walking out of the house with a box in his arms. He said with a headache: "Mom, where are you going?"
Gu Xian held the box and said, "I'm going to the Qi family. You are going to save Chen Zhan, and you will definitely not care about me at that time. What if another thief comes into the house?"
Last time, Jingen protected me, but this time, thieves came to her, but no one cared about her.
Chen Tao felt that this idea was good and said, "Mom, then you can bring Brother Guan with you too! I don't feel at ease leaving him alone at home."
Gu Xian was silent and said, "Go and bring your brother Guan."
As a result, not only did Guan Ge'er come, but Huo Zhenzhu also came. Gu Xian looked at Huo Zhenzhu with disgust. All the disasters this time were caused by her: "I will only take Guan Ge'er there."
Gun Ge'er held Huo Zhenzhu's hand and said, "Grandmother, I heard from my father that my second uncle was captured by a bad person. It would be very dangerous to keep my mother here. Grandmother, take my mother to my uncle's house with you!"
Gu Xian looked at Guan Ge'er calmly and suddenly said, "If I don't agree, would you not go to the Qi family with me?"
Brother Guan was stunned. He didn't expect that she would say this. You know that no matter what happened, he would agree if he asked Gu Xian for anything.
But soon, Brother Guan said with red eyes: "Grandma, I can't leave my mother alone. Grandma, please take my mother to take refuge with my uncle!"
Gu Xian smiled on her face after hearing this, but the smile was full of bitterness: "If you want to follow, just follow, if you don't want to."
After walking a few steps, Gu Xian frowned and said, "Why, you don't want to go to the Qi family with me?"
Tan Xing was just shocked by Gu Xian, and came back to her senses and quickly followed.
Chen Tao was not at ease to let Gu Ge'er stay at home. He picked Gu Ge'er up and followed Gu Xian, and then forcibly stuffed Guan Ge'er into Gu Xian's carriage.
But the boss cried and said, "Mom, I want Mom..."
Gu Xian said to Chen Tao: "Since he doesn't want to follow me, why do you force the child? Tan Xing, carry him down."
Seeing this, Gai Chun said, "Madam, the master values the most. If the master makes any mistakes, the master will definitely be heartbroken."
After hearing this, Gu Xian didn't say anything about asking Brother Guan to get off the car.
After sending his grandparents and grandchildren to Qi Mansion, Chen Tao took Gai Chun to raise money.
Chen Tao asked worriedly on the road: "Uncle Gai, what did the kidnapper do to make my mother look like a different person."
Gai Chun was silent for a moment and relayed what Chen Zhan said: "The second master's words are so heartbreaking."
