Chapter 216: Take Away
"The third young master said, as long as we can bring this Hu man back unharmed, the second young master's affairs will definitely take a turn for the better. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the dim and quiet room, the man who led the two accomplices behind him walked towards the bed step by step and said: "The third young master said that this Hu man is already pregnant, so even if it is just for the sake of the child, Lin Xiran will definitely obey obediently, and then obey the young master's dispatch." ”
"Really? But how do I think that according to the information about the location of the individual who was just asked by the little girl in the Zhuangzi, it would be more effective to go directly to the next room and tie up the loyal and righteous countryman? ”
"After all, you see, that woman is not clearly involved with Lu Shaoyun and Su Yixing, so it is more direct and effective to directly take her as a hostage and let Lu Shaoyun, who is the deputy commander of Jin Wuwei, and Su Yixing, who is the waiter of the Criminal Department, obey the arrangement to do something in the case of the second young master, than to tie up this pregnant woman and go back?"
"You know!" When the leader heard the words of his accomplices, he immediately retorted: "Lu Shaoyun and his grandfather Lu Xiaoqing have a temper, and they are both masters who will not be coerced by others. Therefore, what if we kidnap the loyal and righteous countryman, but Lu Shaoyun is not threatened by us, but stabs the matter in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, and then mobilizes the entire Waijin Wuwei to search for us everywhere? ”
"What's more, even if Lu Shaoyun and Su Yixing will be coerced by us in a short period of time, after we put the loyal and righteous townsman back, the crazy counterattack taken by the two of them, do you think we can resist it with our Zhongqin Uncle's Mansion? Therefore, according to what the third young master said, it is only right to tie up Baliya, who has goods in her stomach and therefore has more value as a hostage, and threaten Lin Xiran, whom we can compete with afterwards! ”
"Can you two pause for a moment and move out of place so I can identify if this is the same Bariya?" The man with a veiled lantern in the middle of the three interrupted the chattering accomplice, and said, "When I drove with the old lady and the lady to the Lu family to find Baliya that day, I have carefully observed her from the side, so you should get out of the way now, and let me identify her typical characteristics well, so as to ensure that we do not catch the wrong person." ”
Xia Shuanghan, who was still lying on the bed and pretending to be asleep, heard this, and soon felt that the man with the veil lamp stepped in front of him, and then brushed the hair from the corner of her forehead, and looked at the left corner of her forehead by the not-so-bright light. "It's her, I remember clearly that day, the second young lady held her leg and knelt down to her, and the woman who knelt down to her did have such a scar on her forehead."
"Really? Is that her? Then let's hurry up and roll her up with the covers, and take her back to Lushan Beizhuang as soon as possible! ”
With such a sentence, the man who came forward to check the scar on her forehead stepped back, and Xia Shuanghan, who had already learned their true purpose from the conversation between several people, was ready to attack them by surprise.
According to Xia Shuanghan's thoughts, in this entire grange now, except for herself and the three men in front of her, everyone else should have fallen asleep deeply. Therefore, in the current situation where no one will come to help her, but no one will rush out to drag her back, it is not difficult to rely on her ability alone to subdue the three men in front of her, who cannot be martial arts masters at all.
After all, if one of these three people had a strong martial arts, then there would be no need to send three people in and kidnap Baliya, who was a pregnant woman.
After weighing the strength of both the enemy and the enemy in his heart, he clenched the sharp fruit knife, and just wanted to quickly get up and subdue the three men in front of him, and then closed the door, ready to greet Xia Shuanghan, who was likely to sneak in to find the three accomplices who had not returned for a long time, before she could take action, the conversation of the few men in front of her completely dispelled her idea of resisting.
"It's true to say that, it's clear that our second son and third son are doing business with the second son of Xu, so they are in today's troubled waters. But the second son of Xu is good, but when something happened, he picked himself up cleanly and ran away decisively, but left our second son to go to prison. ”
After the man carrying the gauze lamp stepped back, the man who stepped in front of the bed stepped forward, while pulling the quilt on Xia Shuanghan's body, trying to roll her up, and said: "If it weren't for the account books that the third prince hid in the Lushan Villa, it would not only have killed the second son of Xu, but also related to the survival of our Zhongqin Bofu, the third prince would definitely have to hand over all those evidences to the criminal department, and let the second son of Xu pay the due price for what he did today." ”
"Books? Evidence! Isn't this the place I'm about to be taken over? Holding the sharp blade in his hand, Xia Shuanghan, who was only waiting for the man in front of him to bend down, and then could swing the knife to cut his trachea, stopped his right hand that was about to be waved because of the words he heard.
"The key evidence that Ting Xuan and Su Zhenchen have been searching for for so long, but they have never been able to grasp, is it in the hands of Lin Sangongzi? So if I don't resist now, but obediently choose to be taken away by them, can I take this opportunity to get these hidden account books? ”
Although he didn't think that things would be as smooth sailing as he imagined, he couldn't help but think that this was indeed an opportunity worth trying, so he let go of the fruit knife in his hand and chose to continue to pretend to be asleep.
The two men who walked to the edge of the bed, in the process of pulling the quilt, inadvertently took off the embroidery needles inserted by Xia Shuanghan on their acupuncture points. Xia Shuanghan, who was then rolled into the quilt, quietly incorporated the two sachets containing mosquito repellent powder placed on the side of the pillow into the sleeves before being taken out of the bed.
"I have torn off the hanging ears on a strand of incense sachets and deliberately left them next to the pillow, I believe that as long as I see the hanging ears, whether it is Ting Xuan or Xiran, they will definitely be able to detect that I have taken those two sachets. Then, as long as they took the hounds and followed the scent of the sachets, they believed that there would be no danger to me, whether I could get the book or not. ”
Thinking like this in his heart, he was then taken out of this grange by one of the three men in front of him, even Xia Shuanghan, who was carrying a quilt on his shoulder.
"Yo, come out! Looks like things are going well! ”
Outside the grange in the dark of night, as Xia Shuanghan expected, the fourth person, who was an outsider and quietly waiting for his three accomplices to come out in a carriage, crossed the man who was carrying a lantern to lead the way, and the man who was holding a stick to be on guard, and the moment he saw Xia Shuanghan being carried on the shoulder by the third man, he said anxiously: "Didn't you say to be careful!" What if you hurt the child in her belly? ”
"Don't worry! How can Hu people be so squeamish? Their bodies are sturdy! No worse than Han Chinese men. While responding to his accomplice with a firm attitude, the man who unloaded Xia Shuanghan on his shoulders quickly placed her in the carriage.
In the carriage, behind a small piece of cloth curtain, there was a comfortable and spacious couch, and Xia Shuanghan, who was a "pregnant" hostage, could not suffer any hardships or sins until the other party achieved his goal, was lightly and properly placed on this couch.
"Alright." After setting up Xia Shuanghan, the man who immediately put down the curtain, and after his other two accomplices also climbed into the carriage, he called out to the fourth accomplice driving the carriage and said, "Let's go quickly!" When we go back and hand over the hostages, our errand will be finished. ”
At the end of the curtain is the dim light and shadow of the veil lamp; On this side of the curtain, Xia Shuanghan, who opened his eyes and then quietly poked out his hand from the loose quilt roll, quickly silently opened a small opening in each of the corners of the two sachets in the process of using his mouth and hand together.
The wall of the carriage clings to the couch, and there is a gap half a finger wide in the place where the planks are spliced. And by aiming the opening of the sachet at this gap in the summer frost, it is easy to dump the mosquito repellent powder from this place onto the road outside the carriage.
As long as it doesn't rain, whether it's windy or sunny, in a day or two, the hound can easily track the scent of mosquito repellent powder, so Xia Shuanghan doesn't have the slightest worry or doubt about the clue he has left now.
Since I didn't know how long the carriage would have to travel, I didn't keep pouring it out, considering that the amount of incense powder was not very large.
When it is clearly felt that the carriage is going straight on a straight road, it is possible to pour the incense powder at appropriate intervals. And once the carriage has turned, Xia Shuanghan, who needs to be clearly marked at these possible forks in the road, will no longer be stingy at this time.
The "gurgling" carriage did not know how long it had been running, and when the incense powder in the two sachets had been emptied, Xia Shuanghan, who had put the sachets back into his sleeve, continued to pretend to be asleep while waiting for the carriage to stop.
Whether or not to pretend to wake up a little bit because of the effect of the incense while the carriage is moving, the question of Xia Shuanghan, who was pouring incense powder outwards and listening to the intermittent conversation between the three men outside the curtain, had a conversation between them and not, was carefully considered.
After considering the two reasons that "before arriving at the destination, it is obviously more convenient to give the hostage a sufficient amount of incense to prevent her from struggling and resisting on the way" and "if the effect of the medicine is about to fade, then it is impossible for none of the three people outside the curtain to come to check on her", Xia Shuanghan, who judged that she should not wake up, made up her mind and pretended to be asleep all the time.
And when the carriage stopped, Xia Shuanghan heard a sentence that indeed confirmed her conjecture - "The medicinal effect of the incense should last until noon, and before that, let people prepare toiletries, a change of clothes, and enough food and water for this Mrs. Lin." ”
Xia Shuanghan, who closed her eyes tightly and kept her body in a soft state of sleep, was lifted from the carriage by her kidnappers and then brought into the other village in front of her. At the same time, in the east of the capital, Lin Xiran, who got up for morning exercise when the curfew had just been lifted and the sky was dark, received a note from the kidnappers for him.
"Your wife, Bariya, is now in our possession, and if you want her to return safely, then do not make a public announcement about her abduction, and do as we ask. Within three days, as long as you can fulfill our request, your wife will naturally be released safe and sound. What needs to be done for you will be conveyed after confirming that you are out of the city and stable in your loyalty. ”
Carefully read the unfolded note silently twice, without hesitation or doubt, Lin Xiran immediately understood whose hand his wife Baliya would be.
The note clearly states that the reason why the murderers want to kidnap Balia is not to ask for money, but to let him do things for them. At this stage, in addition to the Zhongqin Bofu who wanted to rescue the second young master of his own family, and at the same time came to beg him many times without any effect, is it possible that someone else did this?
"It's all my carelessness!"
There was anger in his heart, and at the same time, there was even more remorse, and Lin Xiran, who had gathered the note in his hand, condemned himself: "I think that they can accurately grasp the whereabouts of Baliya on the second day of running away from home, and at the same time learn the news that she is pregnant, then it is obviously not difficult for them to find out that Baliya is now going to live in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing with Frost and Han." ”
"I shouldn't have let them go if I knew they were there. I thought it was simple, but I didn't expect that the people of Zhongqinbofu would play the trick of kidnapping and ransom and forcibly kidnap Bariya. ”
Filled with self-blame for "being a husband but failing to protect his wife", Lin Xiran, who turned over and got on the horse, quickly rushed out of the house and went straight to the south gate of the capital.
"Don't allow me to make a public announcement of this matter and stabilize the frost, isn't it just to prevent me from pulling Ting Xuan into this matter? Yes, I don't bother him, I'll solve my own problems, so it's okay! ”
I knew very well in my heart that as long as Xia Shuanghan did not return to Beijing in advance to inform Lu Shaoyun of the kidnapping of Baliya, but continued to stay on Zhuangzi and paint according to the original plan as if nothing had happened, then Lin Xiran, who did not want to be involved in Lu Shaoyun, would definitely not become a fact, so he made up his mind to wait until Zhuangzi and understand the situation clearly, and then find a way to rescue his wife.
