Ru Yan led people to follow Mrs. Li all the way to the City God Temple. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ru Yan was secretly glad in her heart that today was fortunately not a good day for worship, otherwise the crowd in this City God Temple would bring great difficulties to tracking.

Accompanied by the guards, Mrs. Li walked towards the temple while looking cautiously from side to side, keeping an eye on the crowd around her. And the swollen and bulging baggage carried by the two guards next to Mrs. Li was particularly eye-catching.

Ru Yan pointed to a man who was following Mrs. Li, and instructed the soldier beside her: "This person has been following Mrs. Li since the street market outside, there must be a problem, you must pay special attention later!" ”

The man you Yan was referring to was five big and three thick, with a fleshy face, a fierce face, and a pair of fox-like eyes that kept spinning around all the time, and at a glance he knew that he was not good.

At this moment, Mrs. Li, who was going to enter the temple to worship, suddenly turned back. It turned out that Mrs. Li found several beggars squatting at the door, some of them old and young, ragged, with dirty faces, and they were constantly kowtowing to the people who entered the door at this time--these beggars begged in the area of the Chenghuang Temple all the year round, and after begging for silver, they would go to the wine shop opposite to drink, and when they were full of food and drink, they would find a broken temple around them to sleep beautifully.

Li Fu walked over to the beggars, and the beggar sitting at the front also glanced up at Mrs. Li, probably seeing Mrs. Li dressed in a luxurious dress, so he kowtowed harder.

Mrs. Li called the maid over, and the maid carried a small basket in the crook of her arm, and in the small basket there were some incense candles and other things, and a few yellow paper packets were exposed under the incense candles, which looked like snacks bought from the incense workshop.

Mrs. Li took out the yellow paper packets from the maid's basket and distributed them to the beggars. The beggar got the paper bag, kowtowed to Mrs. Li a few more times, and said a few words to Mrs. Li. The distance is too far, Ru Yan can't hear it very clearly, guessing that it should be words like thanks.

"I said that this Mrs. Li's heart is really big, it's not ordinary, it's all at this time, and she still has the heart to do good deeds and give alms to beggars!" , said a soldier beside Ru Yan.

At this time, Mrs. Li was entering the temple with her maids and guards.

At the same time, the tall man who had been following Mrs. Li and the others before also followed into the temple at this time.

"Follow up, be careful, don't let her find out!" , Ru Yan said to the two soldiers disguised as ordinary people.

When the two soldiers received the order, they followed suit.

Ru Yan also ordered the other soldiers to secretly ambush at the gate of the temple, as well as at various other entrances and exits.

It was about a pillar of incense, and suddenly there was a chaotic sound inside.

All I heard was someone shouting, "Stop, stop!" ”

Listening to that voice, it seemed to be the voice of the soldier you Yan had just sent in.

Ru Yan was startled and hurriedly ordered the soldiers who were ambushed at the door to do it, and at this time, a man was rushing out of the mouth. The two soldiers who had just entered also chased out out of breath, shouting: "Catch him, catch him, don't let him run!" ”

At this moment, the soldier who had been in ambush at the door stretched out his leg and tripped the fleeing man to the ground. Because the man began to run in a hurry, he fell out of the way, and the burden in the man's hand was also thrown out.

The soldiers took the opportunity to rush forward and subdue the man.

Ru Yan stepped forward to pick up the heavy burden and opened it, but there was still a layer inside, and when she opened it again, there was still a layer inside, and after peeling off three or four layers like this, the contents were finally revealed.

When Ru Yan saw it, she was shocked.

It turned out that the thing that was tightly wrapped in the heavy burden was only a stone.

"Someone! Arrest Mrs. Li and the others! Ru Yan shouted.

The soldiers rushed in and escorted Mrs. Li, the maid, and the two guards out.

Ru Yan opened the remaining baggage in the hand of one of the guards, and when she opened it, it was also a stone.

At this time, some soldiers were already asking the tall and burly, fierce and fierce man who snatched the burden, "Tell me quickly, where did you detain Master Li?" ”

"What...... What Lord Li, Lord Zhang? I don't even know any fucking bullshit Master Li! The man replied.

"Alas, you still dare to quibble?" , the soldier said hatefully.

"Don't ask!" , Ru Yan shouted at the interrogating soldier: "This person is not a real kidnapper at all!" ”

Ru Yan glanced at the location at the entrance of the temple, and then continued: "It's our carelessness, the real kidnappers are the beggars just now, and now they have long since run away without a trace!" ”

"You...... How do you know? ", Mrs. Li said in surprise.

"According to the common sense of ordinary people, the exchange of hostages will hand over cash, obviously we think the same way, so, we just noticed that the two guards next to you are carrying two heavy burdens, and this person!" , Ru Yan pointed to the sturdy man who had just grabbed the burden and said, "This person thinks so too!" This man was just an ordinary thief, and he thought that such a big burden must contain money, so he robbed the burden. But I didn't expect that the burden was full of stones! ”

At this time, the man spat fiercely and scolded: "Damn, you lack great virtue, what kind of sheep is crazy, put the stone in the baggage, and deliberately lead Lao Tzu to rob it, so that Lao Tzu has just come out of the yamen prison, and he has to go in prison again!" ”

"And Mrs. Li has just taken it out of the maid's basket at the gate of the temple, and the dim sum handed to the beggars is the ransom -- the dim sum paper contains silver tickets!" , Ru Yan continued.

Ru Yan walked up to Mrs. Li and asked, "Madam, if I'm not mistaken, the beggar sitting at the front just now said a few words to you, and he said that he asked you to go to the place where Master Li was picked up, right?" Tell me, ma'am, where is the place? ”

Obviously, Mrs. Li is not a good liar, but she is still trying her best to hide the truth. Mrs. Li's face turned red, and she denied it: "No...... No, the kidnappers did not ...... Not ...... Tell me to pick up ...... Pick up the master's place! ”

"Madame didn't tell the truth, just because she was afraid that I would anger the kidnappers by waiting for me, and the kidnappers would no longer care about Lord Li's life?" , Ru Yan asked.

Mrs. Li remained silent, indicating that Ru Yan's guess was true.

"However, doesn't Mrs. Li know that the kidnappers never thought about letting Master Li come back alive from the beginning?" , Ru Yan changed her words.

"Impossible, you are talking nonsense!" , Mrs. Li blurted out, "They promised, as long as I pay the ransom, they will let us receive the master safely!" ”

Ru Yan sneered: "If they want to let Master Li go, they won't ask Mrs. for a ransom with a silver ticket!" The kidnappers took the ransom and had to go to the silver account to exchange it for cash, and how could the people of the government not go to the money bank and the silver account to ambush, why should they take this risk? Obviously, the kidnappers are not people who lack money to spend, they are not aiming for money, they are only asking for ransom to confuse us. Therefore, the tickets they should tear will still be torn! (To be continued.) )
