"What?"

Before Mengchangjun could speak, Feng Xu's reaction was very fierce. He was resourceful and thought Yang Zheng would wait for the money to be collected, but he did not expect that there would be more amazing changes in the future.

He stared at the butler and urged: "Tell me more specifically!"

The housekeeper handed a letter to Mengchangjun and reported: "Young Master Tian Yuan went to Meng's mansion to be a guest, and was kidnapped on the way back. The difference is that this time the other party casually intercepted a beggar on the road and sent the letter to the mansion."

Mengchangjun didn't say anything, so he opened the letter to read it.

Feng Xuze asked, "What about the beggar? Did he remember the other person's face or some characteristics?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said sadly: "I asked, the man was wearing a hat. He didn't see his appearance, but he could tell from his voice that he was a young man."

Feng Xi frowned tightly, annoyed by the feeling of being led by the nose, so he asked him to retreat.

Soon, after reading the letter, Mengchangjun ignited a candle to burn it, "It was done by the same person. The boy said in the letter that Jier told him that my father is very stingy and will not be willing to spend 50 million to redeem people..."

When Feng Xi heard this, his expression became wonderful, and he didn't know what to say.

"He was afraid that he would be in vain and could not earn the ransom, so he followed Ji'er's advice and kidnapped Yuan'er, whom I like more. Not only that, he was willing to reduce the ransom by 20 million and threatened me that if he didn't redeem the person, he would really tear up the votes!"

When he said this, Mengchangjun's face turned gloomy and was very angry. He couldn't believe that they were all brothers and sisters from his father. In order to save his life, Tian Ji took the initiative to pull his younger brother Tian Yuan into the water, forcing him to redeem him.

Because this statement is reasonable and seamless, he could not realize that this was a smoke bomb that Yang Zheng had painted, and in fact, it used the famous stove reduction measure.

The pioneer of this plan was no one else, but Sun Bin, the former military advisor of Qi State.

When Sun Bin led his army to attack Wei, he deliberately reduced the number of firewood stoves cooking in the army, creating the illusion of withdrawing troops. Sure enough, Wei general Pang Juan judged the number of Qi soldiers by the number of stoves, which was not enough to worry about, resulting in a light advance and a downfall and annihilation of the entire army.

Today, Yang Zheng imitated his ancestors and took the initiative to reduce the ransom, in order to deceive Mengchangjun's judgment and make him mistakenly think that he really only wanted to blackmail the ransom, and he was young and energetic, and lacked patience. In this way, he could carry out the follow-up actions smoothly.

Feng Xi thought for a moment and analyzed: "It seems that the other party's motive is not complicated, it is really just for money. Moreover, he is afraid that we will refuse and will start to be unable to calm down. This is a good thing. As long as he can't get the money, he will not be willing to tear the votes."

Mengchangjun nodded.

Feng Xian asked: "Did he talk about the transaction time and location?"

Mengchangjun looked up and looked at him deeply, "Tomorrow night, he will ask us to send the ransom to Changfeng Inn and replace people there."

Feng Xi understood it with a cruel look, "I'll arrange an ambush now. As long as he dares to show up, I will make him unable to escape!"

Mengchangjun was still worried and reminded: "You must pay attention to concealment, so that he can't be aware of it, and escape early."

For some reason, he felt a slight uneasy in his heart, and always felt that he had forgotten what he had done.

...

...

The second night.

The two sons were kidnapped, and their lives and death were uncertain. Mengchangjun could not sleep at all. He was abnormal and sat in the study, waiting for news from Feng Xu.

Because this incident damaged his majesty in the Qi government and opposition, once it was spread, it would be easier for bold people to follow suit. Therefore, he ordered the news to be blocked, hoping that Feng Xi could settle the matter, as if nothing had happened.

He is old and doesn't want to bother with it anymore, and faces this difficult situation.

His wish is very simple, but unfortunately, how could his opponent Yang Zheng be a simple person? He can easily plot against him?

An hour later, Feng Xi came back.

His face turned pale and he didn't dare to sit down again. He knelt in front of Mengchangjun to apologize, "It's the old slave who is not good at doing things well and fails to catch that boy."

Mengchangjun's face changed drastically, and she suddenly stood up, "What? Did you let him escape with the money?"

Feng Xi shook his head and said unwillingly: "He was too cunning. From the beginning, he guessed that we would set up an ambush in secret, or that he had no plans to trade tonight. We made a wrong judgment. He deliberately wanted to trick us, but he was actually very patient."

Mengchangjun understood, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched and asked, "That is to say, you can do your work in vain and let him hide in the dark and watch the fun, and find out your arrangements in advance, right?"

With this test, Yang Zheng knew their arrangements well the next time he traded.

Feng Xu replied: "It doesn't matter. I will change to another defense next time. Although our people are useless, fortunately, the ransom was not lost and there was no loss. That kid is naughty and let him be arrogant this time!"

He believes that Yang Zheng has not obtained the actual advantage, and tonight can only be regarded as a farce.

At this moment, the housekeeper ran into the house in panic, looking extremely embarrassed, as if he had eaten fly shit, "Old... Master, Tian Wei and Tian Zhou, two young masters, were also kidnapped!"

"What did you say?"

When Mengchangjun and Feng Xi heard this, they were as if they were struck by lightning and were frozen there.

The two young masters who were kidnapped last night have not yet been redeemed, and they are immediately kidnapped!

Mengchangjun said nothing. After a moment of silence, he could no longer hold back and tried hard to overturn the entire desk, and the objects on the table fell to the ground.

"It's all a bunch of people! I'm fooled by a little kid. What's the use of me raising you!"

He was as irritated as thunder, and his anger broke out completely.

At this point, he still didn't understand why Yang Zheng made a fuss tonight, not just to play with them, but to successfully attract their attention under the guise of exchanging hostages, and then took the opportunity to take action and captured two more hostages.

It was not until the truth was revealed that he finally realized why he had forgotten what he had done. Now he thought that he should immediately notify all his sons, stay in the mansion, not go out again, and become the target of kidnapped.

Unfortunately it was too late.

He originally did not want to disturb too many people, so he just wanted to settle it quietly, but he did not expect that he could not settle it, but instead paid a heavier price, making the situation more serious.

Yang Zheng's stove reduction plan successfully paralyzed him, making him mistakenly think that Yang Zheng was just a frivolous and impetuous little guy, eager to get the sky-high ransom, and dared not have any other thoughts.

But he knew that Yang Zheng's appetite was terrible. Not only was he not satisfied with the ransom, he even became more and more powerful and kidnapped the two of them. Is this a sign that a person who is eager to take off his hands? Is such a cunning opponent really just a teenager?

On a cold night, Mengchangjun felt like a basin of cold water was poured on by someone and woke up completely.

He realized clearly that he had encountered a strong enemy.

He looked cold and asked the butler: "What did he leave behind this time?"

The housekeeper was sweating coldly, his heart hung in his throat, and he said tremblingly: "He said that he was very disappointed with our ambush tonight, so he decided to keep the initial amount and add two more treasures!"

Now, no matter what conditions Yang Zheng offered, Mengchangjun was no longer surprised.

"What treasure?"

"Return the Dzi beads and the Burning Heaven Seal."

Feng Xi was stunned, "This is the secret treasure in the mansion. He never shows it to others. How could he know?"

Mengchangjun sneered, "You forgot that my useless son was willing to sell his younger brother in order to save his life. What's the point of confessing two treasures?"

He thought that Yang Zheng knew the name of the Burning Heaven Seal from Tian Ji.
