Chapter 217: Don't Zhuang
The galloping horse soon carried the anxious Lin Xiran to his farm on the outskirts of Beijing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the golden light of the rising sun, soon after entering the Grange, he found that everyone had not woken up because of the medicinal power of the incense, and soon according to his knowledge of the layout of the Grange, he went directly to the place where Xia Shuanghan and Balia were most likely to live.
kept thinking in his heart, it is estimated that Xia Shuanghan also fell into a coma because of the effect of the incense last night, so it is very likely that Lin Xiran, who did not know what happened last night, let alone provided him with any clues, soon pounced on the door without latching, and Xia Shuanghan was empty in the house where Xia Shuanghan was supposed to live.
Then, when he turned his steps and stepped into the room of Bariya, whose door was also unlatched, Lin Xiran, who was also empty in front of the bed, wondered - shouldn't it! If the Zhongqin Bofu didn't want to involve Ting Xuan in this matter, then it was naturally impossible for them to touch Xia Shuanghan.
So, if she didn't see Xia Shuanghan who hurriedly came to report to him on the way out of Beijing, and at the same time, she couldn't find Xia Shuanghan, who should have been asleep like everyone else, and she couldn't have been kidnapped with Baliya, where would she be now?
Lin Xiran, who was puzzled in his heart and was stunned in front of the bed, only felt that the second monk was confused for a while, suddenly found his wife because of a sleeping murmur from under the bed, and then learned the truth of the matter.
"Xiran, why are you here?" Originally, she had been sleeping peacefully under the bed wrapped in a quilt, until she was found because of a dream she made, and her husband pulled out from under the bed with a quilt. Sister Shuanghan is really, and she doesn't call me when she gets up. ā
Groping to get up and get out of bed, but Baliya unintentionally pressed her and Xia Shuanghan's shoes between her reaches, and then she realized that she was actually sleeping on the ground. "What's going on? Why did I sleep on the ground? ā
From Xia Shuanghan and Baliya's shoes on the ground, Lin Xiran, who immediately deduced the conclusion that "the two of them slept together in this room last night", quickly solved the doubts in his heart.
"In this way, it seems that it was the frost of light sleep, and when the kidnappers arrived last night, they reacted one step ahead of time, and hid the pregnant Baliya under the bed with the quilt. So, is the reason why she is not here now because she is hindered by the effect of the incense, so she was taken away by the kidnappers who mistook her for Baliya when she was unable to resist? ā
In his mind, he recalled the room next door that he had just entered, the room that was originally prepared for Xia Shuanghan, and remembered very clearly that there was also a small hole in the lattice window of that room to blow incense indoors, and although the door was not latched, it was tightly closed, and even after confirming the fact that Xia Shuanghan must have been taken away by mistake, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
His wife was not taken hostage by the kidnappers, which was indeed a happy event for him. However, his friend and iron buddy's wife was arrested because of Baliya's relationship, how could he be happy?
If it weren't for the people of the Zhongqin Bofu who wanted to capture Bariya, Xia Shuanghan would not have been taken away now. If it weren't for the protection of Baliya, who didn't know martial arts and was pregnant, Xia Shuanghan would have been able to get out of this room before the incense attacked.
"Xiran, tell me quickly, is something wrong? What about Sister Frost? Why are her shoes still here when her people are gone? ā
From the solemn expression on her husband's face, it can be seen that the reason why she would take someone to sleep on the ground is not ordinary, and she couldn't help but ask Lin Xiran. And Lin Xiran, who was about to explain the situation one by one, suddenly stopped talking after raising his eyes and seeing an embroidery needle on the sheet and a little dried blood next to the needle.
How to use the method of pricking needles to deal with the effectiveness of the incense, this skill, Lin Xiran clearly remembered that Xia Shuanghan had mastered it before he went to Guanwai. Therefore, turning his head to look at the sewing basket placed on the round table, and then turning back to pick up the embroidery needle left on the sheets, Lin Xiran immediately learned the fact that "Xia Shuanghan should not have been forcibly taken away because he was unable to resist".
In order to further confirm his conjecture, Lin Xiran, who had carefully checked the blood stains left on the sheets, soon found the fruit knife placed under the embroidered pillow through searching, and the sachet hanging tassel left next to the pillow, which was obviously deliberately torn off.
"Bariya, what was this tassel on? Do you know? Picking up the hanging spike and turning around to ask Baliya, he immediately got "This was originally the decoration on the mosquito repellent sachet", Lin Xiran, who had such an answer, was finally able to let go of his heart that had been hanging a little.
Xia Shuanghan did not fall asleep because of the effect of the incense, and had the ability to resist or kill the kidnappers, so in this case, the reason why she chose not to resist, but was obediently taken away by the kidnappers, and left the clue of mosquito repellent sachets, then it must be because Xia Shuanghan found something worthy of her doing in the kidnappers, so she was voluntarily taken to the kidnappers' stronghold.
"This fool actually went to risk her life to do such a dangerous thing again, didn't she know that Ting Xuan would be worried because of this?" Speechless and helpless about Xia Shuanghan's behavior, Lin Xiran, who turned to Balia and asked her to sit on the bed, quickly told her what had happened and what she had discovered.
"So what? The people of the Zhongqin Bo Mansion took Sister Shuang Han away by mistakenly thinking that I was me, and now you really come here to stabilize Sister Shuang Han according to their request, and prevent her from going back to Beijing to inform Brother Tingxuan about this matter, so that he can be vigilant and precautionary about what the Zhongqin Bo Mansion is going to let you do next, which will lead to the failure of their plan. What about you? Faced with such a situation, what are you going to do? Do you really don't say anything to Brother Tingxuan? ā
"How is that possible? Not saying anything was a compromise that had to be made without knowing where you were taken. But now it's different! Frost had left us enough clues to find her, and in such a situation, how could she waste all her efforts? ā
Lin Xiran, who smiled lightly and comforted Baliya and judged that Xia Shuanghan had once again created a situation where he would be calculated, and soon returned to the capital after taking care of the affairs on the Grange.
If he wants Xia Shuanghan's plan not to fail, then now he can't directly take the dog in the grange and chase it down along the smell of mosquito repellent powder, which will lead to a startled snake and fall short. On the contrary, at this time, he must return to Beijing as soon as possible, pretending that his wife has really been kidnapped, and he has indeed stabilized Xia Shuanghan according to the kidnapper's requirements.
Lin Xiran, who knew this very well, so hurried home, soon after receiving the second note from the kidnappers with what he needed to do next, he disguised himself and walked out of the house as his own subordinate, wandered around the market, got rid of all the swatches that might follow him, and then came to the Dingguo Mansion.
Lu Xiaoqing, the Duke of Dingguo, who has often used going out to walk horses or hunting as his daily pastime, brought people and hunting dogs, as well as mosquito repellent sachets he specially brought from the Grange to track down Xia Shuanghan's whereabouts, which was the most appropriate way for Lin Xiran to judge after some thought.
And Lu Xiaoqing, who heard all the information Lin Xiran had informed, and then immediately instructed his cronies to prepare for a safari, made up his mind to wait later and then contact Lu Shaoyun, who was now on duty in the Jinwuwei Yamen.
"It couldn't have been easier to get Frostgirl out of house arrest unharmed. And Ting Xuan, as long as at the right time, with his subordinates, came to take over the things that the frost girl general had specially gone to find, and then wiped out all the cadres of the Zhongqin Mansion. ā
At this point, the follow-up development of the matter was completely in accordance with Xia Shuanghan's initial assumption, and she walked smoothly, and at the same time, according to the medicinal effect of the incense, she "woke up" at noon, and also pretended to be confused and opened her eyes.
In the room where she is now, where there is no one but her, Xia Shuanghan, who has been lying on the bed for a long time, has already been looking at it clearly in the process of squinting her eyes several times.
Therefore, Xia Shuanghan, who calmly picked up the Han dresses and shoes and socks provided for her by Lin Sangongzi on the round stool next to the bed, and after dressing neatly, she bypassed the screen in front of her and calmly came to the door that was locked from the outside.
"Papapa", raised his hand to knock on the door, and did not pretend to be panicked in his voice, Xia Shuanghan, who was so calm, shouted out of the door: "Hey! Someone! Having tied me here unscathed, and made me live in such a comfortable and tidy house, what are you up to, someone must come and tell me, right? ā
Because he heard her shouting, the man who hurried to the door opened the door and told Xia Shuanghan, "As long as you cooperate obediently, we will never hurt you and the child in your belly, and we can send you back to find your husband in a few days", he raised his hand to greet the two maids behind him, and brought washing utensils and hot meals for Xia Shuanghan.
From Bariya's point of view, she imagined that as a pregnant woman, she could only obediently return to the house to wash up for the sake of her child, but she would not touch the summer frost of the food on the table, so she immediately acted according to her own ideas.
"What? I'm afraid we'll have something in the meal, so we don't dare to eat it, right? ā
The man who had just opened the door for Xia Shuanghan, the man dressed as a housekeeper, saw that she was sitting at the round table as a hostage, and did not touch the food on the table at all, so he opened his mouth and persuaded him: "Don't worry, these entrance things are absolutely fine, after all, if we want to kill you, we won't go to great lengths to bring you here safe and sound." ā
"Oh? Is it? I don't think so. I dare not touch the food and water until I can find out exactly what you are trying to kidnap me here. ā
Raising his eyes to look at the family in front of him while speaking, Xia Shuanghan said unhurriedly: "Being able to treat me so politely after kidnapping me here, I think I should be a precious hostage at this stage, right?" So, as a precious hostage, I now offer to meet your master and have a good talk with him, I don't think you will refuse, right? ā
Although according to her assumption last night, as long as Lu Shaoyun or Lin Xiran, who had discovered the clues she made with the sachet, could bring enough people to come here to surround this Beizhuang group, then after she was free, they who were told about the account books by her would naturally order people to dig into the ground to find out the key evidence.
But what if her vision goes awry? For example, before the account books were searched, Lin Sangongzi, who was probably staying in the same place as the account books, reacted quickly, burned them with a fire, or destroyed them by some other means.
This possibility cannot be ignored, and Xia Shuanghan, who is bound to be arrested, will make up his mind to confirm whether Lin Sangongzi is in this Zhuangzi now.
If he is, she needs to stay with Lin San Gongzi as much as possible in the absence of the possibility of asking where the account books are, to prevent him from destroying the evidence when the people who came to rescue her arrive. If he wasn't there, then Xia Shuanghan would need to confirm who was now in charge of the Zhuangzi, and that he wouldn't be able to sabotage her plans.
"Our master is busy now, and he is not in this Zhuangzi at all, how can he come from the city to see you? Therefore, I advise you to save trouble, and directly eat and drink! Although she was sarcastic and disdainful of Xia Shuanghan's request, she actually couldn't let her, who was a precious hostage, starve and said: "If you don't worry, I can find someone to try the dish for you, so it's okay, right?" ā
"Oh? Sounds good, but how do I know that the person you asked me to try the dish didn't take the antidote or anything in advance? (To be continued.) )
