Min Tianhao's face turned pale and white. He clenched his fists tightly, and without saying a word, he turned around and walked out.

"Remember, the future of the Min family depends on you." Looking at Min Tianhao's back, Min De said in a deep voice.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm responsible." Min Tianhao's figure trembled slightly, stopped, and then slowly let go of his fists. He took a deep breath, turned around and nodded to Min De, and walked out of the room with great stride.

"Xu family, Liu family, one day, our Min family will surpass you and become Kunshan County. No, the largest clan of Suzhou Prefecture. At that time, I will make you kneel at my feet and shake your tail and beg for mercy!" After Min Tianhao left, Min De sneered, his expression on his face became a little ferocious.

At the same time, the Min family has a courtyard.

Xu Xing, who was worried, walked into Xu Zong's room. Xu Zong waved his hand, and the strong black man standing in the room walked out and closed the door.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Looking at Xu Xing, who was frowning, Xu Zong put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, his face darkened, and asked.

"Fourth brother, what are you talking about?" Xu Xing was stunned for a moment when he heard this and forced a smile at Xu Zong.

"What's wrong with you and Zhao Rong from the Zhao family?" Xu Zong stared at Xu Xing with his eyes tightly and asked in a deep voice.

"Zhao...Zhao Rong!" Xu Xing was not prepared at all. He was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Xu Zong in shock and said calmly, "Fourth Brother, I don't understand what you are saying."

"Your soul has been called to the little girl from the Zhao family to hook her away!" From Xu Xing's reaction, Xu Zong could already confirm his guess and asked expressionlessly.

Because Zeng Wan was kidnapped, Xu Zong also led the people from the Xu family to join the search team. Xu Xing was the first to rush out of the room after learning that Qiao Yu and others were attacked. This made him secretly pay attention to Xu Xing's behavior and found that he was very anxious during the search process and looked like he was in a state of dismay.

The ones who went to the pool this time were the female relatives of the Min family and Zhao family. Zeng Wan and Qiao Yu had never met Xu Xing a few times, so naturally there was no friendship. Then the only one left was Zhao Rong. He suspected that Xu Xing had secretly dated Zhao Rong, and now it seems that this is true.

"Fourth Brother..." Seeing that Xu Zong had revealed the secret he had hidden in his heart in one word, Xu Xing called Xu Zong dejectedly, and wanted to speak but stopped.

"Don't you know that the Zhao family is our enemy?" Xu Zong stood up, walked to Xu Xing, and said with a serious expression, "If you let your father know that you fell in love with the girl from the Zhao family, you must break your legs."

"Fourth brother, I just like her. Why do we have to bear the hatred of the previous generations?" Xu Xing suddenly raised his head and said loudly at Xu Zong.

"Because you are a child of the Xu family, from childhood to adulthood, all the food, clothing and use are given to you by the Xu family. You must do whatever the Xu family wants you to do." Xu Zong looked at Xu Xing with a little excited expression, "Have you forgotten that Zhao Yan killed your second brother!"

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten, but I just can't control myself thinking about her." Xu Xing hugged his head with both hands, squatted on the ground and started crying. On one side was family affection and on the other side were love. He was in a dilemma in the middle, and he was in a dilemma, and he was in a dilemma, and he was extremely happy.

"Forget her, it's impossible for you and Zhao Rong to be together." Seeing this, Xu Zong let out a long sigh, bent down, reached out and patted Xu Xing on the shoulder, "If you really are with Zhao Rong, you will not only harm yourself, but also her. The Zhao family will never allow their daughter to marry our Xu family."

"Fourth brother, the Xu family and the Zhao family are originally fellow villagers in the countryside, why do you have to fight and kill?" Xu Xing cried for a while, wiped his tears, stood up and looked at Xu Zong, "Dad has handed over the Xu family to you. Can't the Fourth brother find a way to resolve the grudge that was a hundred years ago?"

"It's not a day when the ice is frozen!" Xu Zong shook his head helplessly when he heard this, "The fourth brother is heartless but powerless unless a miracle happens."

"Miracle!" Xu Xing murmured to himself, and closed his eyes with a wry smile. God knows when a miracle will appear.

Tan Zong lay on the bed, his hands were pillowing behind his head, and he focused his attention at the ceiling. Such a major incident happened. The Min family would definitely check it out. I hope Chen Si would not lose his own person, and not be discovered by the Min family.

The reason why he decided to "lead the snake out of the cave" was that he had already made a big fuss and had to succeed. There must be no trouble, so that the Min family members could see the flaws, otherwise all his efforts would be wasted.

Right and wrong, success and failure were here, and Tan Zong became anxious for no reason and began to worry about gains and losses. If the "leading snake out of the hole" failed, he had no choice but to take a strong attack. The city defense forces in Hedong Town and Hexi Town are now loose on the outside and tight on the inside, waiting for the battle, and on standby for 24 hours.

As long as he gave his order, the two teams of city defense forces would run to Baishan Town without stopping, and other reinforcements would also come in a steady stream.

As Tan Zong tossed and turned, it was dawn. He put on his clothes and went out. Because he had not had a good sleep, his eyes were covered with blood, and his expression seemed a little haggard.

Shortly after Tan Zong left the house, Zhao Yan also walked out of the room, with a look of fatigue and dark eyes. Zhao Rong's whereabouts are unknown now, how can you let him sleep?

The two then went to find Min De. As soon as they entered Min De's yard, they saw Min De hurried out with a letter in their hand.

"You are here just in time. Someone threw this letter into the yard this morning." Seeing this, Min De handed the letter in his hand to Tan Zong.

When Tan Zong opened it, he couldn't help but be stunned. This was a blackmail letter. The person who wrote the letter claimed that he had kidnapped Zeng Wan, Qiao Yu and others, and asked the Min family and Zhao family to prepare 10,000 taels of silver notes within five days. They would send the person back safely at that time, otherwise they would have to let those delicate little ladies go to the kiln to make money.

"Can someone take the opportunity to blackmail?" Zhao Yan came over and looked at Min De with a frown.

"There is also Zeng Wan's hairpin in the letter. This was what I gave to her when she and Tianhao got married. Zeng Wan has been wearing it." Min De shook his head with a serious expression, took a pure gold hairpin from the maid beside him, and handed it to Zhao Yan, "I have confirmed that it is Zeng Wan's one."

"Damn it, if I let me know who did it, I would have to tear them apart!" Zhao Yan's eyes flashed with cold light when he heard this.

"The most important thing now is to save the person." Tan Zong frowned and looked at Min De, "We have 8,000 taels of silver, and we have to trouble Uncle Min if we have the rest."

Tan Zong originally thought that Min De would really mobilize the people in the town to search the mountains. It seemed that he was afraid that the people would expose the Japanese bandits in the mountains, so in order to deal with him and Zhao Yan, he fabricated false kidnappers.

Compared with the last time the official army searched the mountain, under the high reward from Tan Zong, those locals who were familiar with the nearby terrain might really find clues from it, and the Japanese bandits would be exposed.

"My Nephew Chen is such a bad word. This happened to the Min family. The Min family should have been responsible for it, but the Min family is only a small family and can only take out four thousand taels of silver." Min De shook his head, looking guilty and apologetic.

Tan Zong and Zhao Yan did not argue and left in a hurry, preparing for the money.

Looking at the backs of the two, Min De couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and walked into the room with a gloomy face.

"Dad, do they believe it?" Min Tianhao asked in the room and saw Min De coming in.

"This is just a temporary solution and it won't be hidden for long." Min De sat down on the chair with a pale face and looked at Min Tianhao with a serious expression, "Do you think what those Japanese said is true or false?"

"Those Japanese are not only despicable, shameless, greedy and lustful, but also arrogant, arrogant, look down on us at all, and treat us as servants." Min Tianhao frowned and pondered for a while, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said, "I think Wan'er is in their hands."

After Min Tianhao arrived at the hiding place of the Japanese bandits, he reported the amazingness to the leader of the Japanese bandits, hoping that they could hand over Zeng Wan, Qiao Yu and others.

Who would have thought that the leader of the Japanese bandit rejected him in one go, and swears that they had never moved Zeng Wan, Qiao Yu and others. The excited Min Tianhao almost had a conflict with the leader of the Japanese bandit. If it weren't for the middle-aged man next to the leader of the Japanese bandit, the two sides would have been very frustrated.

The middle-aged man was from Dashun and the translator of the Japanese bandits. Under his persuasion, Min Tianhao had to return without success.

"Anyway, they must be asked to hand over Qiao Yu and Zhao Rong in these few days." Min De's face was cold and he ordered Min Tianhao in a deep voice, "You arrange to catch some young women and give them to those Japanese for exchange."

"Dad!" Min Tianhao was anxious when he heard this. He witnessed how the Japanese treated the two girls who were captured and did not want to push other girls into the fire pit.

"Those who accomplish great things are not careful!" Min De stood up, reached out and patted Min Tianhao on the shoulder, and said solemnly, "Remember, don't be kind to women."

When Min Tianhao heard this, his eyes flashed. Under Min Deruju's gaze, he nodded heavily. Some things were not diverted by his will, and he could only passively adapt.

"Young Master, Min Tianhao went to the foot of a mountain southwest of the pool today, and then disappeared. There should be a very secret passage there. Because there were several secret whistles nearby, I didn't dare to get close." When Tan Zong returned to his room, Chen Si was already waiting there. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly met him and reported in a deep voice, "After entering the secret passage, he came out in about two incense sticks."

"Since you have determined the location, no matter how well you hide it, you can find the secret passage." Tan Zong sneered and sat down on the chair beside him.

"Young Master, what do we do next?" Chen San walked forward, looked at Tan Zong, waiting for his instructions.

"From Min Tianhao, compared with the treacherous and sloppy Min De, he is much inferior in both concentration and scheming." Tan Zong thought for a while, looked up at Chen San and Shen Si, "If he is willing to help, then we can successfully rescue Zhao Shiting from the Japanese bandits."

"But how can he help us?" Chen San and Shen Si looked at each other and asked in confusion. If this happens, Min Tianhao will betray his father and his family.

"It depends on whether he is a good husband and a good father." Tan Zong smiled slightly and slowly clenched his right fist. "We know his trump card now, but he doesn't know our purpose. The initiative is now in our hands."

Chen San and Shen Si nodded when they heard this. Since Tan Zong knew even the position of the Japanese bandits, he would be in an absolute advantage against Min Tianhao. Once Min Tianhao's psychological defense line was destroyed, the next thing would be natural.

"I want a piece of jewelry on Zeng Wan." Tan Zong poured a cup of tea, took a few sips, and looked at Chen San.

"I understand!" Chen San smiled slightly and replied in a deep voice. He knew that Tan Zong would use those jewelry to find Min Tianhao.

"I will have a good rest when this matter is over." Tan Zong let out a long breath, drank the tea in the teacup, and put it heavily on the table with a snap.

During this period, he lived a tired and depressed life. He wore a mask every day and lived in intrigues, playing a role he didn't like.

The next night, Tan Zong, with a cold face, took a jar of good wine and walked into Min Tianhao's room. While preparing for the ransom, he and Zhao Yan had privately sent people to inquire about the news in the town, and posed as if they wanted to find out the whereabouts of the "robbers".

Min Tianhao was drinking alone in the room with a very haggard expression. He was very upset: the Japanese had already kidnapped two girls playing in the pool, which showed that the pool was full of dangers, and he should have stopped Zeng Wan and others from going there at that time.

"Don't mind if I sit down and have a drink." Tan Zong put the wine jar on the table and said to Min Tianhao.

"Please sit down." Min Tianhao stretched out his hand at Tan Zong and made a gesture of asking for help.

"The century-old bamboo leaf green, I found in Yangzhou City, is a good thing." After sitting down, Tan Zong opened the sealing mud on the wine jar, poured two bowls, and pushed one of them to Min Tianhao.

"I have wine today and I am drunk today and I am worried tomorrow!" Min Tianhao picked up the bowl of wine, muttered to himself, raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl.

"Big Young Master, a lot of it." Seeing this, Tan Zong poured another bowl of wine for Min Tianhao. Just as Min Tianhao was about to raise the bowl and drink it all again, Tan Zong reached out to stop him, "Big Young Master, there may be news about those robbers at any time. It's better to drink less and leave some energy to deal with those robbers."

"Robber?" Min Tianhao smiled bitterly, pushed away Tan Zong's hand, drank the wine in the bowl in one breath, and after burping, he said sarcastically, "God knows where those guys are."

"The eldest son and his wife have a good relationship." Tan Zong did not pour wine for Min Tianhao this time, and looked at him quietly.
