The wife of the power minister's family

Everyone had expected this situation. Jiang Shaobai immediately called a few government officials and walked towards the cabin, and Xu Jing hurriedly followed.

This small wooden house should have been built by hunters in the mountains. The house is not big, with only a simple earthen kang that is warm in winter and cool in summer, as well as a table and two chairs.

As soon as she entered the house, Xu Jing saw Xu Huaiyang and Xu Huaijin who were unconscious on the earthen bed. She quickly ran over and checked them quickly. She relaxed after seeing that they were breathing evenly and there were no obvious wounds on their bodies. One breath.

Immediately, she pushed Xu Huaiyang's shoulders hard and said: "Wake up, wake up!"

Judging from their condition, they must have been stunned.

But it had been quite a while since they disappeared, and the effects of the drug should have worn off soon.

Sure enough, after she pushed Xu Huaiyang for a while, he suddenly frowned, slowly opened his eyes, saw Xu Jing, and murmured: "Cousin... sister? Why are you here..."

Yes, I'm still confused.

Xu Jing gave him a funny look and said, "Do you still remember what happened?"

Xu Huaiyang's mind gradually became clearer. Recalling what happened before he fell into coma, he sat up suddenly and said in a panic: "Here...where is here? I remember that after Huaijin and I went to Baoyue Pavilion, we were planning to I went to look for the mutton stuffed pancakes that are said to be the most delicious in Xijing. Who knew that while walking, I was kidnapped by two masked men!

Huaijin... Huaijin is fine! "

Most of the folk delicacies are found in some remote alleys. Xu Huaiyang and Xu Huaijin often look for them while asking people. However, this time the location was particularly remote. There was not even a soul in the back. At that time, he already felt that Something's not right.

Who knew that before he could react, he would be held hostage.

Xu Jing pointed to Xu Huaijin, who was lying peacefully aside, and said, "My cousin is fine. Do you remember how you got here?"

Seeing that Xu Huaijin was well, Xu Huaiyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I...I don't know, we were knocked unconscious on the carriage. Cousin, did Huaijin and I cause you trouble?"

It should be said that she was the one who caused them trouble.

Xu Jing sighed secretly and said, "No, don't worry, it's okay."

At this time, Xu Sihai and his son also came in. After entering, Xu Huaiyang and Xu Huaijin immediately ran up with tears of joy.

Xu Jing took the opportunity to retreat, looked at Jiang Shaobai and said, "My cousins ​​probably don't know what happened in this house. Xu Sanniang said that she sent two guards to guard the two children, but now, these two The guards and Tan Yun were supposed to be here, but we didn’t see any of them.”

Xiao Yi walked to the gate, looked at the blood spattered on the ground and wall, and said in a deep voice: "There was a fight here."

He raised his hand, wiped the blood stains on the wall with his thumb, and said, "The blood stains have completely solidified. This fight has been going on for a while."

Jiang Shaobai frowned slightly, "Could it be that those people were chasing the kidnappers?"

"Probably not. After such a big thing happened, they should have sent someone to notify Xu Sanniang immediately. However, until the Wang family and the Xu family received the blackmail letter, Xu Sanniang didn't even know that the two children were missing, let alone the two guards who chased after them. Forget it, Tan Yun is a weak woman, what's the use of chasing after her?"

Xu Jing walked to Xiao Yi's side, leaned down and looked at the blood stains and said: "Besides, there was a lot of blood. One of the people must have been seriously injured. The one who was seriously injured should not be the kidnapper, but one of the two guards." one.

Those two guards and Tan Yun were probably taken away by the kidnappers! "

Jiang Shaobai was startled, and the officer on the side couldn't help but said: "Then why did the kidnappers take the three of them away! Don't you think it's a burden? If it's just to extort money, it's enough to take away two children!"

Another yamen officer asked: "Could it be that we don't want them to go back and report the news..." "No," Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, "If it's just to prevent them from going back to report the news, tie them up or make them unconscious. It’s just that there’s no need to take them away together.”

Everyone looked confused.

So, why did the kidnappers take them away together?

"There is only one possibility..."

Xu Jing paused and said: "The kidnappers felt that if they were left behind, they would leak some information that would be detrimental to him, for example, information about his identity."

Jiang Shaobai frowned and said, "Mrs. Xu thinks that those two guards and the maid know who the kidnapper is?"

Xu Jing nodded, "Other than this reason, I can't think of a reason why the kidnappers went to great lengths to take these three people away. Besides, the disappearance of Wang Xiaolangjun and Xu Xiaolangjun has not been made public, and they were sent to look for them. Their people have also been secretly searching for them under other names.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible to know that those two children were the children of the Xu family and the Wang family!

This shows that the kidnapper is probably someone close to Xu Sanniang! He noticed Xu Sanniang's plot and had evil intentions, so he had a mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind! "

Jiang Shaobai pondered for a moment, then strode up to the stunned Xu Guangyi and Duke Qiao, and said: "Mrs. Xu's inference must have been heard by Xu Shangshu and Duke Qiao. The kidnappers even knew this location. Apparently he had been there early in the morning." He was aware of Xu Sanniang's plot and kept observing secretly.

The only people who have the opportunity to come into contact with Xu Sanniang are people from the Wang family and the Xu family.

Please send someone back immediately to gather everyone at home to see who is not at home at the moment. "

Xu Guangyi couldn't help but said with a white face: "Jiang Zhaoyin, my Guang'er will be fine, right?"

Jiang Shaobai calmed down and said: "I can't guarantee this. You two should also be able to see that the kidnapper this time is not a child's play like before, and may even have hurt someone..."

Xu Guangyi's legs went weak and he couldn't help but panicked: "Then...should we also prepare the ransom at the same time?"

The Duke of Qiao on the side suddenly turned around, grabbed Xu Guangyi's collar, lifted him up like a chicken, and roared: "Xu Guangyi, all of this is a good deed by your good daughter!" If I had known that your daughter was such a narrow-minded crazy woman, I would never have let her enter our Wang family!"

With that said, he suddenly threw Xu Guangyi to the ground, turned around and said sternly: "Whoever comes, go back immediately and notify Manager Chen, gather everyone in the house! At the same time, prepare 10,000 taels of gold bars!"

Xu Guangyi didn't care about his nearly broken waist. He hurriedly got up and immediately ordered the Xu family's servants to go back and gather everyone.

Because time was tight, Xu Jing and Jiang Shaobai finally decided to split up. He went to the Wang family, while she and Yao Shaoyin went to the Xu family.

Xu Sihai was initially hesitant to let Xu Jing handle the case alone, but when he saw Xiao Yi accompanying Xu Jing, he was startled, didn't say anything, and went back with his children.

When Xu Jing and his party arrived at Xu's house, Manager Cao of Xu's house was busy gathering people. The yard was brightly lit and densely packed with people. Many people didn't know what was going on and looked flustered and nervous.

It took a long time before General Manager Cao came forward. When he saw Xu Jing standing there, he was obviously startled. His face was distorted for a moment, but he soon returned to normal. He saluted and said, "I have met Yao Shaoyin, little one." We have already counted everyone in the house, and there are four servants who are not in the house now. They are the cook Tao Niang who works in the kitchen. She just took three days off yesterday, saying that her child is sick. Yes, I want to go back and take a look.

There is also a guard named Zhang. He took leave two days ago, saying that his grandmother died of illness and he wanted to go back to observe mourning.

There is also the steward Dou Guanshi who is in charge of the warehouse. The villain asked the people around him and they said that Guanshi Dou disappeared in the afternoon.

The last one is also the steward of the house, his surname is Yang, who is responsible for the kitchen. He also took leave yesterday, saying that he had to go back to his hometown for something urgent. "

They are currently not sure how many kidnappers there are, so they cannot completely exclude the woman. Even if the woman may not be able to subdue the two guards, she can still cooperate with others.
