Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

Li Zihang, who had been kidnapped by the kidnappers for two days, began to get anxious. Through eavesdropping for two days, he found that the two kidnappers had not sent a letter to his grandfather to ask for a ransom. They were still discussing how to come up with a foolproof plan.

Listening to the two guys' discussion made him anxious for the kidnapper. So at noon that day, while the kidnapper was delivering food, Li Zihang finished his steamed bread and said to the kidnapper: "Uncle, I have heard you two discussing how to get the ransom for two days. Your method is not good. It is easy to be caught by the police."

Kidnapper 3: "Hey! Little bastard, you are worrying about how I should ask your family for the ransom. It's rare, really rare."

Li Zihang: "Uncle! I just want you to get the ransom safely as soon as possible, so that I can suffer less and go home as soon as possible."!

The kidnapper Xiaowu looked at Li Zihang, who was only 2 meters tall, and said with a smile: "You little idiot, let me see what you can say."

After saying that, he picked up Li Zihang and walked to the next room. After putting Li Zihang on the ground, he looked at him unkindly.

Seeing the look in the kidnapper Xiaowu's eyes, Li Zihang immediately said, "You, take a piece of paper and write a letter to my grandfather asking for a ransom. After you finish writing, find a 10-year-old kid near my house, give him some benefits, and then have him throw the letter into my yard. You watch from the sidelines. Wait until the letter is delivered before leaving."

Kidnapper Xiaowu: "And then what? What if we get caught while we go to get the ransom?"

Li Zihang: "You can go to get the ransom, one in the open and the other in secret. One person can watch in secret. If the person in the open doesn't get the ransom, one of you can leave immediately. As long as I'm still in your hands, my grandfather won't do anything to you. You don't have to worry about threats or ransom."

After hearing what Li Zihang said, the two kidnappers thought for a while and said, "Kid, what if the person who was captured can't stand the torture and gives out our location? Are you trying to harm us, little brat?"

Li Zihang: "Let me make it clear first, how much ransom do you want? Otherwise, I can't tell you the next plan."

The third kidnapper said: "50 yuan for yellow croaker." Li Zihang was shocked when he heard it, and he really asked for a high price.

Li Zihang: "My two uncles, 50 large yellow croakers are too much and too heavy. It's hard for you to hide them and it's hard for you to carry them. Let me tell you a number. 2 small yellow croakers."

Kidnapper Xiaowu: "You little brat, you are quite good at bargaining. You want money but not your life."

Li Zihang: "Grandpas, please don't misunderstand me. I am just thinking about you. To tell you the truth, my grandfather doesn't care about 50 yuan for a small yellow croaker. As long as I return home safely, I don't care even if it's 50 yuan for a big yellow croaker. But you really can't take it away.

My big yellow croaker costs 1 jin per piece. 50 jin for 50 jin. If you two each take 25 jin, it will be inconvenient to run away or hide. The risk is too great. But the 50 jin small yellow croaker is different. You each take 25 jin and hang the small yellow croaker on your legs or waist, which is easy to hide. You can hide anywhere for a while, and then leave the city and go to another city. "

The third kidnapper: "Little brat, don't go off topic. I haven't even mentioned what to do if the person in the open gets caught and can't stand the torture."

Li Zihang: "When you write to me again and ask for the ransom, I will tell you that you only want money and don't want to kill me. If you push me too far or do something extreme, we will be in trouble. My grandfather will never do anything that would put me at risk just for 50 yuan."

The third kidnapper: "Are you sure your grandfather won't do anything out of line?"

Li Zihang: "My two uncles, you underestimate my status in the family. My family has been rich for 7 generations since my generation, but I am the only one left. Do you think my grandfather would let me risk my life for just 50 yuan of small yellow croaker? To put it bluntly, my two uncles, if both of you are buried with me, my grandfather will feel very disappointed.

And! If you take the money and kill the victim, my grandfather will definitely use all his connections to avenge me even if it means losing everything. Don't underestimate a rich and powerful old man. What will he do after losing his only grandson?

On the other hand, 50 yuan is enough for you to buy a house in another city, get married, have a few children, and live a peaceful life for the rest of your life. Think about it carefully, is it better to get more money and get caught, and kill me! Fight to the death with my grandfather, or to get 50 yuan and live a carefree life in another city.

The two kidnappers thought seriously about what Li Zihang said, then looked at each other. Then the third kidnapper said, "Boy, we two brothers will get the money and run away. We will never hurt you. Tell us about your plan later."

Li Zihang: "After you get the ransom and make sure it's safe, find a police station and use the same method. Find a child to deliver a letter with my address hidden in it to the police. Then you can hide or leave the city. This is not a good ending for both parties."

Kidnapper Xiaowu: "If we both go to ask for the ransom, what if you run away? Or if something goes wrong with the letter notifying the police and you die in the secret room?"

Li Zihang: "You can build the door of the secret room with bricks and cement, leaving a vent. Then use the same thing you used to knock me out last time to knock me out. Tie my hands and feet. Put enough food and water in the secret room for me to eat for three days. Even if you fail to get the money, someone else can come back and use my life to threaten my grandfather. This way it will be foolproof."

After the kidnappers Xiaowu and Sange heard what Li Zihang said, they thought this plan was feasible. When they were about to proceed to the next step, there was a knock on the gate of the courtyard. Then Xiaowu picked up Li Zihang and walked into the secret room. Sange blocked the door of the secret room with a cabinet and then went to open the door.

Outside the door were three soldiers and a street administrator, checking and registering the population. After asking about the situation, the three soldiers walked around the yard and the house and then left.

At this time, the kidnapper Xiaowu put a knife to Li Zihang's neck and covered his mouth to threaten him not to make a sound. After the soldiers left, the third brother closed the door, moved the cabinet away, walked into the secret room and started to discuss what had just happened. After discussing for a while, neither of them knew how to write. The third brother could at least recognize a few words, but Xiaowu could not recognize a single word. Seeing this situation, Li Zihang was speechless and almost collapsed. So he said again: "I can write, I can help you write a letter."

Kidnapper 3: "Sure. You provide a one-stop service! You give me advice and write letters asking for ransom. OK! For your cooperative attitude, I guarantee that you will return home safely."

Li Zihang: "Thank you, gentlemen. Can you untie me? Bring me some more writing paper and a pencil. I can only write with a pencil, not a brush."

One of the two kidnappers watched Li Zihang, while the other went out to buy paper and pen. Within 5 minutes, the kidnapper bought back a small stack of stationery and a pencil. He came back and cursed the owner of the stationery store, saying that the owner was a piece of shit, and that he didn't sell stationery individually, but at least sold it in stacks. From the time the kidnapper went out to the time he bought paper and pen, Li Zihang guessed that there was a stationery store nearby, and it would not take more than 2 minutes to walk from the yard.

The kidnappers handed Li Zihang a sharpened pencil and letter paper, and asked him to write according to their instructions. After writing, Li Zihang told the kidnappers to write a letter to his grandfather to let him know that he was safe and at ease.

Then he persuaded the old man to pay the ransom and not report the case, and the kidnappers would release him after getting the money. When writing the letter again, Li Zihang deliberately wrote crookedly, and wrote the information he knew in alternate lines, and wrote it a little bigger and harder to hint at the old man.

From the Dashanlan Street, the stationery store, the shouts of the tofu seller, the crowing of the rooster in the yard next to it, to the skylight in the secret room, all were written on two pieces of letter paper with more than 2 words.
