Chapter 39 - Xiao Letian's Abduction
A kidnapper was a very ancient profession. According to modern law, this was called abducting human beings. In ancient times, there were many cases of this kind of thing. If a little boy was healthy, he would buy it to be someone else's son. Other than selling her to become a child's wife, the little girl would also be sent to a brothel.
However, Hu Niu was already a 16 year old girl, and normally, such a big age person would not be kidnapped by kidnappers. If she really lost her, there were only 2 possibilities, one would be sent to a brothel to be a prostitute, and the other would be seeking revenge.
Xiao Letian is regretting his decision to bring her out to visit some temple fair. Do you really think that this is a peaceful modern society? This is the late Qing, the most chaotic and darkest period of the late feudal dynasty, I really am a bastard. After saying that, Xiao Letian slapped himself hard.
”Mister, do not be anxious, Hu Niu will not be far …” After saying that, Xiao Hexin and the other two ran in one direction each, and started to search in the crowd. From the time Hu Niu started to eat the Primal Chaos to the time she disappeared, it had only been five to six seconds. It would only take him five to six seconds to do so.
Just as Wang Huaiyuan and the rest were searching around, Xiao Letian was also anxiously searching the wonton stall. He even hoped that Hu Niu was kidnapped by the traffickers, because as long as he used Heaven's Intelligence and Green Forest's network, he would definitely be able to find him.
The only thing he was afraid of was the second possibility. If it was an enemy seeking revenge, then nothing could be said. Xiao Letian anxiously went around in circles. He wanted to take the initiative to look for him, but he was afraid that Hu Niu wouldn't be able to do so.
Just at this moment, the honest young man who was the owner of the wonton stall said carefully, ”My lord, don't be impatient. Sit down and rest for a while, there will be kidnappers in the temple, but once I see that you are rich, I will find someone I can find if I go back and throw some money at the old men …” ”Take a seat, I'll bring you a bowl of hot soup …”
Xiao Letian sat on the wooden bench and said, ”Thank you for your blessings …” Before he could finish speaking, the wonton stall owner's hand suddenly moved like lightning. With two fingers tapping on Xiao Letian's neck, a living person fainted on the table.
Behind him was a chaotic pile of rice and grass. Unexpectedly, a pair of hands reached out from the grass and dragged Xiao Letian inside. The straw had originally covered a hole in the courtyard wall.
From when Xiao Letian sat down to when he was knocked out, to when he was dragged into the courtyard, not even ten seconds had passed. However, the wonton stall was surrounded by a group of people, and the place that seemed to be randomly standing had already blocked everyone's view.
The stall owner wiped his hands with a towel and then casually tossed it away. Then, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd. The customers also left one by one as if nothing had happened, leaving behind only the empty wontons and the boiling water pot on the stove.
”Did I find any on both sides of the street …” I've also checked the rooftops, there's no one here … ”City god temple, did I see it too? Nothing …” Xiao Hexin and the other two gathered together and ran towards the wonton stall, but when they arrived, they were all dumbfounded.
”Where's the Mr. Xiao? What about the owner of the Chaos vendor? Shit, luring the tiger out of the mountain … ”Just now, that chaos seller was the kidnapper. Fuck, he also kidnapped mister …” Xiao Hexin rushed forward and kicked away the pile of rice straw, then saw the big hole at the back.
However, when the three of them rushed into the courtyard and saw the tied up family, as well as an old man blocking their mouth, the three of them finally understood. They had met a true expert this time.
”Masters, please save me! Someone is snatching my wonton pickpockets! Those are my lifeline to support my family …” Masters, save me! Just now, someone rushed in and dug a hole in the wall of our courtyard … ”That's right. A quarter of an hour ago, they captured a man and a woman.”
A chill went down the three of them, ”Revenge? This is definitely revenge seeking! Who on earth wants to deal with Mister?” F * ck, inform the Chun Sanshiniang to scout out all the spies of the Beggar Gang. We must find this criminal hand … Send a pigeon back immediately high speed prince... Also, look for the Qing San Ye, and have him use his official power … ”Oh right, there's still Priest Liu. We have to inform him as well …”
The three of them looked as though they had gone mad as they ran around the streets of Beijing. The news of Xiao Letian being captured spread like wildfire throughout the entire Beijing. Right now, Xiao Letian was not a nameless person. From the imperial court to the brothel, no matter if it was the official documents or the Green Forest Grand Knights, they all knew of him.
Chun Sanshiniang was a high-class spy who had been buried in the capital city for a long time. Not only did she have a portion of the resources of the Beggar Gang, she also had a few slaves that were also his subordinates. She could even receive a portion of the money.
When Chun Sanshiniang gave the order, everyone in the capital had to give them face. All the officials in the city and all the ruffians in the capital started moving, putting their righteousness aside first. Even Thirteen Mother's thirty thousand taels of silver's could only drive them crazy.
Not only the underworld, Bai Dahai had also started to move. Before Qing San Ye even showed himself, Louis's fiery temper had already flared up, and the first thing he did was to rush to Shuntian Palace, taking his drum hammer, and beat the big leather drum in front of his door until it rang into the sky.
Not long after, the Shuntian Palace was filled with commoners. A group of yamen runners rushed out from the entrance, and when they looked back, they saw that they were foreigners. All of them were discouraged.
”Aiya, this Master Yang, don't joke around, this drum is about to ring a bell, who dares to make things difficult for you?”
”Don't be glib tongued, I'm here to report a case, do you dare not accept? If you don't accept, I'll go to the Head Office and sue you... ”That's right, I'm going to target you, and viciously attack you …” Aiya, this foreigner is even a Chinese hand. When the surrounding citizens heard that this foreigner wanted to go to the Shuntian Palace, they roared with laughter, causing the yamen runners to feel awkward.
