Upon hearing Xu Ya's words, Jiang Shaobai frowned and said, "Let the Xu Family and the Wang Family people in immediately."
Soon, the people from the Xu and Wang Families hurriedly entered. Duke Qiao, with a dark face, strode forward, gritting his teeth, and said, "What on earth is going on! The letter?!"
The servant from the Wang Family trembled as he handed over the letter with both hands. Duke Qiao quickly opened it and glanced at it, seeming to freeze in place.
Xu Guangyi also swiftly stepped forward and took the letter from the Xu Family's servant. After reading it, his expression changed dramatically, "This... this handwriting is completely different from the last ransom note! The demanded ransom is also different!"
Xu Jing stood by and saw the letter in Xu Guangyi's hand, which simply stated two sentences—
Prepare a ransom of ten thousand taels in unnumbered gold bars.
The exchange location and time will be notified separately.
