C26 (2/2)
”Big brother Yang Lin, with your ability, why are you still selling horses? Just gambling with others is enough for you to make a fortune.”
”Hehe, people can't just look for money, they also need to find something to do. Only in this way will there be any meaning to living.”
The morning in Xindu City was abnormally lively. As soon as the city gates opened, the people outside the city rushed in. In a short period of time, the buying sounds, shouts, and shouts rose and fell one after another, breaking the early morning tranquility of Xindu City. A new day had begun.
It was no wonder that Wang Ran was still dreaming. He had spent all his time on his fifth concubine last night and had overworked himself last night. He was currently hugging his fifth concubine and having a beautiful dream when he was suddenly woken up by a loud noise.
”Master, master, it's bad, the young master has been kidnapped.”
Wang Ran, who was counting money in his dream, was suddenly slapped in the face. When he woke up to this grievous news, he could not help but jump out of bed. When he walked out, he found that he wasn't even wearing shoes.
”Tell me, what's going on?”
The servant who reported the message presented a letter in both hands, which Wang Ran grabbed over. It was a silk silk that was used to write letters, the contents of the letters were also very simple, as though they were afraid that Lord Taishang would not understand, they only spoke a few words, but they were very concise. After a quick glance, he slammed his hand on the table.
”Insolent bastard, how dare you kidnap the young master of This Official. ”Men, immediately send word to seal the city gates and search the entire city.”
In a short period of time, the streets and alleys in Xindu City were in an uproar. Squads of soldiers were guarding the streets, and the yamen runners in the taiwai were scurrying from one yard gate to another, the figures of soldiers and yamen runners filled the air.
The first to be caught was the Casino Owner, who told his son to gamble. He didn't need to guess to know that his son must have gone to the gambling den last night. If he wanted to solve a case, he would have to go along with the flow and investigate the places his son was going to.
”Where the hell are you going to get the money for when he's gone?” ”Tell me, when did he leave?”
”What?” He disappeared? I saw them leave at the end of last night. ”
”Oh, did you leave at Hai Ji? Who else is gambling with them? ”
”There are too many people, I can't remember them all.”
”Then who did he lose to after losing so much money?”
”It seems to be a few soldiers from outside the city, who followed Yan Liang and Wen Chou. ”My lord, those foreign troops are not simple. Yesterday, if he wanted to win, he would not lose. Yesterday, he won almost all of my casinos. I gave him one million gold coins before he left.”
”What about the foreign soldiers?”
”I don't know.”
”Quick, inform Yan Liang, Wen Chou and the guard commander of the city gate. ”In addition, send someone to the city to find those foreign soldiers. Don't let them escape.”
Wang Ran was also anxious, he had his suspicions towards everyone, regardless of whether they were the kidnappers or not, he had to find them and ask clearly. He waved his hand and chased Casino Owner out. No matter what, his son still owed Casino Owner two million yuan.
”Sir, we've searched the entire city, we haven't found Young Master.”
”If you keep searching, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you have to find the young master.”
Wang Ran almost roared. This was his only son, and also his only hope. He was over fifty years old, and although he had married several concubines, he had never given birth to a son, and would never be able to give birth again. If anything happened to this son of his, he would be doomed.
”Master, the city gate guards have arrived. None of the people from the east, south and north gates had left the city last night. Only the people from the west gate had left the city last night.
”Bring the West Gate Guardian General in.”
Not long later, the city guards of West Gate came in. At this time, Pengqiao was still immersed in the excitement of counting money. He had already counted the money six times. Every time he counted, he would laugh from the beginning to the end, to the point that the muscles on her face were aching.
”Did anyone leave the city last night?”
”Yes, milord. He is a commander-in-chief of the prefectural city of Zhan.” ”Sir, that guard commander is really rich. Yesterday night, he won over ten bags of money. I think he should have at least ten million.”
”Have you mixed this up and seen others being tempted by this money? Then why don't you go with someone else? ”
”Lord, they don't lack people. Right outside of West Gate, they have stationed close to ten thousand people. ”
”What?” They have nearly ten thousand people? ”Why isn't anyone reporting to me?”
”They just arrived last night. They haven't had time yet.”
”It's Master Yan Liang, Master Wen Chou.”
”Ah, it's those two again! When they went out, was there anything suspicious? ”
”No, other than those dozen bags of money, there's nothing else.”
”Bastard, is there only money in your eyes? Can those money bag hold people? ”
”Bastard, I told you to go to the dungeon and listen to the money. Someone, take this guy down to the dungeon. ”
”Ah, my lord, it's just money …”
Wang Ran was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This damned fellow, if he didn't defend the city properly, he would definitely miss the money. But he became more and more suspicious of the soldiers from outside the city. Maybe it was the money bag s that brought the two gongzis out of the city, that would be big trouble, they would need nearly ten thousand people.
Master, Yan Liang, Wen Chou is here.
”Bring it up.”
Yan Liang and Wen Chou were completely confused. They were sleeping, but they were caught by the yamen runners in the taiwai. On the way, they heard from the yamen runners that the young master of Lord Taishang had been kidnapped, so they were relieved. They didn't kidnap their young master, and neither did Yang Lin and the others, so they walked into the hall feeling at ease.
”Yan Liang, Wen Chou, quickly tell me how you two colluded with the foreign troops to kidnap the young master. Call for him from the shadows, or else, don't blame the This Official for being heartless.”
”Nonsense. It's clear that you were the ones who colluded with the soldiers of the Realm of Flame Heaven and kidnapped the young master. Then, they loaded him into their money bag and brought him out of the city.” And you were the ones who let them through the city gate, right? ”
Wang Ran stared at Yan Liang and Wen Chou, these two fellows were his capable subordinates, although they were just 100 people, but their martial arts were strong, he did not want to offend them. However, his own son was even more important. He was much more important than the two of them. Thus, he sneered.
”Unjustly accused, my lord. The money bag are full of money, how can they pretend to be human? ”
”Unjustly accused? All of you are obviously quibbling. Come on people, everyone has to be at least forty. You won't be able to recruit anyone if you don't want to fight them. ”
