After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

Chapter 567 Ransom

Hantie and Hanzhu were both stunned for a moment.

Yes, life is worth money. My two brothers are in this state now, what else is there to look forward to?

Their parents were dead, and they had no wives, children, or brothers. The grandfather of the brother they brought out was dead, and if the two brothers returned to the village, they would have no way to explain to their parents.

So, can I just not go back and run away with the money?

Old man Sima saw that the two brothers had not spoken a word, and it was obvious that they had taken his words to heart.

Adding fuel to the fire, "I have a way to treat your injuries. I'm a doctor."

Han Zhu's eyes lit up.

"really."

Old man Sima nodded, "Really, but the premise is that you let us go. Not only can I cure your illness, I can also give you a sum of money. You two can run away, and with this money you can find a woman, and have a wife and children to live with in the future."

Han Tie was very suspicious. "The money of the three of you is all here with me. Who are you trying to fool? You are giving us the money. Where did you get the money, you old man?"

Han Tie obviously didn't believe it.

Sima Xiangru said anxiously, "You found more than 800 taels of silver on us, which proves that we are not poor. As long as you can let us go."

"My grandfather can not only cure you, but also give you money, isn't that good?"

Sima Xiangru immediately said to Erniu, "Look at him, he is Wang Erniu, his family has a lot of silver, go ask around in the city, everyone knows him. It's not difficult for you to get the silver, just go find his mother, his mother Yun Tao is also a well-known figure in the city."

"As long as you two can let us go, we will definitely give you two brothers a lot of silver, tens of thousands of taels of silver will be fine."

"My grandfather's medical skills are also excellent, and he is well-known in the imperial capital."

After Sima Xiangru finished saying these words, Han Zhu felt a chill in his heart.

He looked at his brother Han Tie.

The two brothers didn't speak at all, and Sima Xiangru was just talking there.

Han Zhu made up his mind and said, "Old man, I can agree to your conditions, but after we release you, you can't go to the government to sue us. If you sue us, we will go to your home and kill your entire family."

"And silver. We want fifty thousand taels of silver. Not a single copper less is acceptable."

When Erniu heard this, he said, "Fifty thousand taels, you are robbing me."

Erniu immediately became anxious, "Are you trying to rob the silver? Fifty thousand taels of silver, you might as well just rob it. Fifty thousand taels, that's not a small amount."

As soon as Sima Xiangru heard what Erniu said, he immediately covered Erniu's mouth.

"My dear brother, please shut your red lips. It won't kill anyone if you say less, my dear brother."

At this time, Han Tie walked in front of Erniu and looked down at Erniu.

"You're still not happy. You think fifty thousand is too much, right? It doesn't matter. At worst, my brother and I won't take the fifty thousand taels of silver, but your life."

Han Zhu also echoed.

"You want money or your life? The three of you should discuss it. Otherwise, you will say that we forced you. That would be bad."

"My brother and I are both honest people, and we are both good citizens."

After hearing what Han Zhu said, his brother Han Tie felt embarrassed and kept turning his face to the other side.

Erniu, Sima Xiangru and old man Sima all found it extremely ironic when they heard it.

Han Zhu didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he felt that he was still a good person.

"You three shouldn't look at me like that. Fifty thousand taels is a good deal to buy the lives of the three of you."

"Besides, each of you three only costs a little over 10,000 taels, which is not expensive."

Erniu muttered quietly, "More than ten thousand taels is not a small amount. It is enough for an ordinary family to spend for several lifetimes."

Hantie immediately looked at Erniu and shouted loudly.

"Erniu, your life is so cheap that it is not worth even 10,000 taels of silver? Didn't that skinny monkey just say that your family is rich? More than 10,000 taels of silver is nothing more than an appetizer for your family."

Erniu immediately got angry, "That's 50,000 taels for three people, if you really want to give it. But all of it is given by my family. Five taels of silver can buy a good house in the imperial capital."

Sima Xiangru and Old Man Sima felt very embarrassed because they had no money at all. Even the money they needed to come to Yuntao's hometown was the 1000 taels given by Yuntao.

The money I saved by living frugally was snatched away by these two brothers. I should have spent it as much as I could have known earlier.

Erniu was still very unconvinced, and Sima Xiangru looked at Erniu.

I feel like the person in front of me is mentally ill. Is he afraid that he doesn’t have money even though he’s still alive?

Fifty thousand taels of silver is indeed a lot of money, but as long as you are alive, you can earn it back.

Han Zhu looked at the three people in front of him, all of whom wanted money more than their lives.

"Okay, if you think the money is too much, forget it. I will still hand you over to the employer, and I will get the money anyway."

After saying this, Han Zhu and Han Tie went out directly.

"Brother, that's 1000 taels of silver, and the employer only gave us taels of silver. We don't need it."

Han Zhu said with a sigh.

"What can we do? They don't want to. Didn't you see that Erniu refused to do so?"

Han Tie snorted coldly and said, "That's because Big Brother didn't fight well enough. If Big Brother had given him a good beating, he would definitely be willing."

Han Zhu's eyes lit up.

"Yes, little brother, you are right. Fight hard, and then we can take the money and run away."

"I must find eight women to be my wives, and then I can give birth to a litter of monkeys."

Han Zhu's smile was particularly lewd.

Han Tie was speechless when he looked at his elder brother. He didn't expect that his elder brother, who had always been taciturn, was such a person.

He is addicted to women and is very dirty.

Han Tie looked at his elder brother with a bad look in his eyes.

Han Zhu didn't notice this and kept fantasizing about it.

In the next few days, Han Tie was very hostile to Han Zhu and Erniu. Whenever he was unhappy, he would punch and kick Erniu, or whip him.

Sima Xiangru was scared to death. Erniu's face had been beaten like a pig's head.

Erniu couldn't hold it in any longer. "Two big brothers, please stop beating me. I'll write a letter to my mother and give you 50,000 taels of silver. Can you just send us to the capital?"

Erniu burst into tears after he finished speaking. The way Erniu looks now makes anyone cry and it is sad to see him.

"Humph, it's too late. I want sixty thousand taels."

Han Zhu snorted coldly.

Erniu immediately stood up and walked in front of Han Zhu, "You can kill me or shave me as you like. I'm going to die anyway. I'll die in your hands, and I'll still have a good reputation."

"Then let the government officials come and arrest you."

Erniu looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, which frightened the two brothers Hantie and Hanzhu.

Good man, five taels of silver is fifty thousand taels. As soon as I get the silver, the first person I will kill will be you.

Han Zhu said loudly, "Okay, fifty thousand taels is fifty thousand taels."

Sima Xiangru and old man Sima were very happy that they could finally go back.

Old man Sima looked at the two Han Zhu brothers, his eyes flashing.

It seems that these two brothers may not really let us go. They may kill us after taking the silver. What these desperadoes say may not be true.

Han Zhu walked up to old man Sima.

"You, fix the wound on my back for me."

Old man Sima said calmly, "I don't have any medicine."

"I have it here."

Old man Sima took a look at Han Zhu's medicinal herbs and felt happy. Wow, the heavens are helping me.
