The Blessed

In Zhang Hu’s broken house outside the village, a line of people, led by Zhang Hu, threw Yan Xiaoming in a corner angrily. On hearing that they came back, Ling Chenghua who quietly went back home to say goodbye to the old lady ran all the way to them overjoyedly. After she got a large sum of money, she’d leave Ling Village where even birds wouldn’t poop and went to town and live as a wealthy miss. See who dared to look down on her again!

"What? Why not those two little rats?"

Pushing the door open and seeing Yan Mingxiao who was still in coma in a corner, the smile on Ling Chenghua’s face froze. She meant to kill those two little rats after getting the ransom money and let Ling Jingxuan live in pain for the rest of his life! But now…How was it possible they kidnapped the wrong one?

"Shut up, you have no position to yell at us!”

Zhang Hu who was also quite mad now threw her a hard stare. Did he want to kidnap the wrong one? Sh*t! If it hadn’t been that this kid suddenly rushed out, who knew some martial arts, how would they have just watched the two kids run away? Now they had alarmed Ling Jingxuan. Whether they could get the ransom money or not already became a problem. Now his only hope was Lady Han and her daughter wouldn’t get exposed too soon.

"Brother Hu, don't worry, this boy is the same. I heard that he is son of the tutor Ling Jingxuan has specially hired for his two kids. Ling Jingxuan wouldn’t stay out of it. As long as Lady Han and her daughter don’t reveal themselves, we can still get the money and ran away. However capable Ling Jingxuan is, he is only a rough farmer. Does he have the ability to look for us all through the whole kingdom?”

Five people sitting beside a square table, it was six including Zhang Hu. The one who was talking was a man whose mouth stuck out and chin like an ape’s. With one look, one could tell he was a bad person. That pair of bean-size eyes were filled with naked calculating. They made a perfect plan, but underestimated Ling Jingxuan and others’ ability. Now even if the mother and daughter hadn’t been exposed, Ling Jingxuan would never let them run away taking the money, let alone the mother and daughter had already exposed themselves before everyone. To deal with them, Ling Jingxuan had plenty of ways. He even didn’t have to do it with his own hands.

"Come on! Lanniu! Are you finished or not? Send it to Ling Jingxuan if you are done! Then we’d get the money as soon as possible!”

Zhang Hu nodded and looked at a man biting the pen. He was the only one of them who could read, but he only knew a few words, so it was quite a big task to write a blackmail letter.

"Soon, soon, wait a second."

That man who was called Lanniu looked fidgeted as he scratched his head, repeatedly picked up his brush and put it down, but only couldn’t write a single word. Zhang Hu got mad and grabbed Ling Chenghua and threw her over, “You write it! Ask Ling Jingxuan to send ten thousand taels of silver before dark!”

A xiucai’s daughter, no one was more suitable than her to write this letter. Others all nodded with agreement. Lanniu directly pushed the brush and the inkstone to her side. Ling Chenghua gritted her teeth, swallowing down the reluctance in his heart, since they had already kidnapped the wrong kid, now they could only try to get the money they wanted. But…Suddenly, a slice of viciousness flashed across that pair of calculating eyes. Then she took up the brush and spread the paper.

A neatly written blackmailing letter soon was finished. Zhang Hu was still worried, "You read us what you wrote!”

He was afraid she might make any mistake.

"Ling Jingxuan, your sons’ tutor's son is in our hands. If you want him to live, prepare 10,000 taels of silver and put it at the pottery shop at the entrance of the village before dark."

Ling Chenghua picked up the still wet paper and read so, while others nodded approvingly, amazed in the heart “really worthy to be a xiucai’s daughter’. But what they did not know was the content was right, but the spot she asked them to put the money was different from what she wrote. Actually she had made up her mind from the very beginning. Zhang Hu didn’t like her at all, he was only interested in her body. She meant to run away with this man after getting the money. But now they let her write the letter, such a great chance, how would she ever miss it?

At this time, Ling Chenghua would never expect that it was this letter that confirmed her crime and made her perish.

"You deliver the letter. Don’t get exposed."

Pointing at a random guy, Zhang Hu ordered darkly. The one who received the order nodded. As he stood up, he suddenly asked, “What about Zhang San? He should have gotten captured. Do you think he’d turn us all out?”

"Well, maybe. How about this? We go to Lanniu’s place first, then we’d run away right after we get the money. Then even if they know it’s us, they’d have nowhere to look for us.”

The previous man who had his mouth stuck out and a chin like an ape’s suggested. Zhang Hu and others all nodded approvingly. If Zhang San sold them out and Ling Jingxuan took people here, that’d be bad.

"You go straight to Lanniu’s place later. We'll also..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."
