Do they want money or a position? They chose to protect their position, indicating they are not desperate yet.
In 1912, the late Qing Dynasty court had already compromised with the revolutionaries, reaching preferential terms for a voluntary “republic.” However, Shaanxi Governor Duoluo Teshengyun was not notified and was still fighting fiercely on the battlefield, nearly reversing the course of history.
According to the novel “White Deer Plain,” fortunately, “Mr. Zhu,” who is the real-life Confucian scholar Niu Zhaolian, entered the Qing army camp alone and persuaded them to abandon the attack on Xi’an, saving a massacre.
These days, another similar story is circulating in the Jianghu, known as the “First Case of Unsuccessful Deep-Sea Fishing”: the place called “Qu Shui (obviously a reverse pseudonym)” actually let the person go without taking a penny at the last moment!
A big sister’s son, who does membership-based tourism in Ningbo, was caught by Qu Shui and demanded 10 million to release him.
The big sister firmly refused to pay, so the Qu Shui officials called every day to bargain.
In 10 days, different people reported different ransom prices, but the tone was to lower it every day: 10 million – 8 million – 5 million – 2 million – 1 million…
Until the day before yesterday, which was the 9th day, a young man called: “Sister, doing this makes our leader very embarrassed, can we give 20,000?”
The big sister still refused, not paying money, not picking up the person, and demanded that Qu Shui release the person where they caught him, and also threatened to report it layer by layer.
Qu Shui is unlucky to have met a tough opponent.
On the 10th day, Qu Shui called and said they didn’t want money and wanted the family to pick up the person.
The big sister replied: “You send him back the way you brought him here, or just detain him directly.”
On the 11th day, Qu Shui bought a plane ticket and sent the big sister’s son on the plane.
Just like that, Su Wu returned?
Everyone in the WeChat group was very surprised:
- What’s the difference between this and kidnapping in ancient times?
- Were the ransom prices in ancient kidnappings this elastic, and could they tear up the ticket?
- The mother is not afraid of tearing up the ticket? I admire the big sister!
I checked, there is no specific news, but I generally believe it to be true. Although it is not explicitly stated which company in Ningbo, there is indeed a well-known company that does membership-based tourism; and the deep-sea fishing team clearly refers to “Qu Shui.” The risk of fabricating such rumors is too high, so the possibility of it being false is extremely low.
As for the fact that it was finally settled by releasing the person, it is estimated that the recent atmosphere is too tense, and the local leaders are also afraid and chose to retreat.
After all, Hangzhou, Yiwu and other places have responded to the above call and strictly prevented “deep-sea fishing,” blocking loopholes in law enforcement from the source.
In addition, the Southeast Mutual Protection in the Yangtze River Delta, “The caught “deep-sea fishing” team is indeed from this place! The Southeast is “interconnected” to resist arrest!“, it is estimated that the “deep-sea fishing teams” in various places are also watching, in case they accidentally fall into the hands of Zhejiang, the leader gets the money, but it is themselves who are unlucky, everyone has to weigh the pros and cons.
Especially since the above has repeatedly ordered strict scrutiny, and even “Confirmed! Next year, the “deep-sea fishing” case will be reviewed and verified!“, which is like the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of those fishing teams.
In other words, the “someone above, reporting layer by layer” in the big sister’s words was a joke before, but now it is a real threat.
The Confucian scholar Niu Zhaolian once wrote a poem: “Breaking through the white clouds, thousands of layers, looking up at the sky, the water is melting. The vast air across the sky pushes the mountains away, and the pillar of the human world is this peak.”
In 2021, a report cited “the pillar of the human world is this peak” as the title of “Leading Hundreds of Millions of People Towards National Rejuvenation Chronicle.”
I really didn’t expect that this big sister from Ningbo inadvertently became “Mr. Zhu” who broke into the camp alone.
May there be no fishing in the world!
I have written more than 300 family biographies and found that many successful people, their ancestors were either scholars, gentlemen, or entrepreneurs and landlords.
Of course, there are also ordinary families who produce a hero, who changes their fate through reading and other means, thereby achieving class mobility.
In developed countries, students first talk about family biographies, then learn national history, in order to truly know themselves.
Humans are animals of meaning, telling stories about our world, relationships, and self, and writing family biographies is the basic way for humans to create meaning. Long press the WeChat QR code below, identify and add me as a friend, and save and inherit family memories together:
