You know, the first condition that Cao Liang proposed to redeem Wang Yuanji was to retrieve Cao Yan's body, and the second was a huge ransom. If even the first condition could not be met, then the deal would obviously not be reached.

What was even more terrifying was that in a fit of rage, Cao Liang turned a living person like Wang Yuanji into a cold corpse and sent it over. That would have been terrible.

Although Xun Kai is Sima Zhao's nephew, and his biological mother is Sima Zhao's sister, and they are both father and mother, but Xun Kai knows Sima Zhao's temper well. If something happens to Wang Yuanji, Sima Zhao will definitely

Since his relatives disown him, the first person to be operated on is undoubtedly Xun Kai.

Therefore, Xun Kai did not dare to leave other people's hands on this matter and did it himself, just to avoid any mistakes.

Cao Yan's bones were taken out from the tomb, placed in the golden nanmu coffin prepared by Sima Zhao, and carried on a carriage to Mengjinguan.

All the money and food needed were collected within a few days. It has to be said that the Sima family still has a profound background in this aspect. Money and food of over 100 million is an astronomical figure for anyone else, but for others

For Sima Zhao, it was nothing that could be done with money. Within a few days, the money and grain were transported to Mengjinguan and loaded onto dozens of ships.

Among them, the Sima family itself provided about half, and the rest came from the Wang Su family and other wealthy scholar families. Although Sima Zhao insisted that the money and grain were borrowed from each scholar family and would be repaid in the next year, these scholar families did not

They were not prepared to ask Sima Zhao to return the favor. Now they finally found an opportunity to curry favor with the Sima family. How could they give up so easily?

Therefore, all the noble families donated money and food in a hurry, vying for the first place, fearing that Sima Zhao would not accept the donation if they pledged it too late.

Of course, the more the better for Sima Zhao. After all, if the families of the great scholars contribute more, the proportion of the Sima family's burden can be reduced. After all, most of what Sima Zhao has embezzled is the food and salary of the Luoyang garrison. If the war is resolved soon,

Then there won't be any problems. But if the war drags on for a long time, it's easy to have problems with money and food.

If Sima Zhao could get support from various important families, he would be able to eliminate hidden dangers.

In short, Sima Zhao spared no effort to redeem Wang Yuanji. Although there was still a thorn in his heart, he still held a trace of fantasy, that is, maybe Wang Yuanji could still keep her innocence.

Xun Kai came to see Sima Zhao and told Cao Liang the news, saying that Wang Yuanji had arrived at the north port of Mengjin Ferry and the two parties could trade at any time.

Sima Zhao's mood became complicated at this moment, but the matter was already imminent and he had to take action. He told Xun Kai and sent someone to inform Cao Liang that the two sides would trade on the Yellow River at noon tomorrow.

The transaction process had been negotiated in advance. The two parties agreed that the trading ships were not allowed to carry any weapons. After arriving at the center of the river, both parties would inspect it thoroughly before proceeding with the transaction.

On Sima Zhao's side, dozens of ships were prepared. Each ship was fully loaded and had a very deep draft. Of course, there was an exception for one ship, which was the ship carrying Cao Yan's coffin. In order to win Cao Liang's trust, Xun Xun arranged

The people sent by Cao Liang never left the coffin after uncovering Cao Yan's body, thus proving that they were not suspected of being involved in the crime.

Cao Liang only prepared one ship here. In addition to carrying Wang Yuanji's mother and son, there were also a large number of boatmen. Because after the transaction was completed, the Sima family's sailors would leave the ship, and these boatmen would be responsible for carrying these boats filled with money and food.

The ship sailed back.

Cao Liang arranged for Fang Bu to be a special envoy to go to the middle of the river to conduct transactions. Even without weapons, with Fang Bu's skills, there would be no problem in defeating dozens of them one by one. What's more, Fang Bu still has Wang Yuanji as a hostage. Cao Liang

There is no need to worry about Sima Zhao cheating unless he really wants to return with a different body.

Everything was ready, and when the agreed time came, both parties waved flags and the transaction could begin.

Cao Liang ordered Wang Yuanji and her son to be brought out. Wang Yuanji probably had not slept all night, with a hint of haggard on her face. She came to Cao Liang's side, hugging the child tightly without saying a word.

Cao Liang chuckled and said: "Mrs. Wang, why don't you have any parting words? After we say goodbye, we will never see each other again. If you regret it now, I can cancel this transaction. How about that?

?”

How could Wang Yuanji pay attention to Cao Liang's teasing? She pursed her lips tightly and said nothing. However, her eyes had already glanced towards the other side of the Yellow River. I'm afraid her thoughts had already drifted across the Yellow River.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Cao Liang also seemed a little uninterested and said: "In any case, I wish Mrs. Wang returns to her hometown in glorious clothes, the family is reunited, the music and music are harmonious, and they are happy and happy."

After that, Cao Liang asked Fang Bu to take her on the boat. Wang Yuanji walked quietly, but the moment she boarded the boat, she looked back at Cao Liang and said softly: "Thank you." Then she didn't wait for Cao Liang.

Liang spoke, turned around and boarded the ship.

Cao Liang touched the short beard on his lips that he had just grown, and laughed. Speaking of it, he was just a kidnapper. The other party paid the ransom and he released the kidnapper. It was a normal process, so there was no need to say thank you.

?Is it possible that she is grateful to herself for not rejecting the vote?

In fact, Cao Liang also felt anxious after leaving Wang Yuanji in the Cao family. Everyone in the Cao family believed that Wang Yuanji's child was his, which made Cao Liang unable to argue and was very embarrassed.

Cao Liang didn't know what Liu Ying's expression would be like after knowing that he had sent Wang Yuanji away, but Cao Liang was confident that he could convince his mother that he really had nothing to do with Wang Yuanji's child, and Cao Liang used Wang Yuanji's name this time

Recovering my father's remains should be the happiest thing for my mother. It has always been a pity for my mother to let my father's remains wander outside. After all, every year during the Qingming Festival, there is not even a place to visit the grave, so it can only be

After sacrificing some paper money from a distance, bringing my father's remains back to Bingzhou and giving him a grand burial can be regarded as fulfilling my mother's wish.

What's more, Wang Yuanji also brought herself money and food worth over 100 million. With this money and food, Cao Liang could arm an army. This deal, no matter how he calculated it, was extremely cost-effective.

On the river, the boats on both sides were facing each other. The sailors rowed desperately and soon reached the center of the river. When they were within a stone's throw, Fang Bu ordered the boat to stop, and Xun Kai on the opposite side also ordered to stop.
