Mo Tianyun gawked. He scratched his head and asked, "Minister Jun, what does this mean?" He thought, You won't release the person if we hand you over the money? What kind of a rule is this?
Jun Xizhu coldly replied, "Didn't you properly read the letter that I had sent you? And, you even came looking for the hostage now? It's really laughable!"
Mo Tianyun and Mo Tianji stared blankly.
They spontaneously took out the letter of extortion from their pockets. Then, they looked at each other in dismay. There's doesn't seem to be an issue!
"Read it out aloud!" Jun Xizhu said.
"Daughter of the Mo Clan – Qing Wu is in the hands of Dark Bamboo. Quickly pay sixty million silver taels. The hostage would be killed if you delay!" Mo Tianyun read out in a puzzled manner. He frowned since he didn't find the problem.
A mysterious light flashed in Mo Tianji's eyes. He had realized it, and felt that it was his bad luck.
