Mingsen whispered, "Have you decided?" The stone nodded solemnly and said, "They'll be handed over to you." ”

Ming Sen said: "Don't worry, it's just that I'm worried about the fifth lady and the sixth lady."

Shi smiled slightly and said, "They just want to test you, they are actually excellent people, don't worry." ”

Suddenly, Ming Sen jumped onto the roof, shouted, "Who is it?" ”

The stone said: "That's it, come down, don't chase it." ”

Ming Sen jumped down and looked around, but there was no one in sight.

"Could it be the Sixth Lady?" Mingsen Road.

Shi smiled and said, "No, the sixth lady's light skills are not so good, it should be the fifth lady." ”

Ming Sen said: "Then what is she doing with us, is she trying to eavesdrop on your conversation with me?" ”

Shi said: "Don't worry about her, she is not something we should guard against, let's go, I still have a lot of things to explain to you." ”

"Yes"

Du Wenhao saw that the stone was leaving with Ming Sen, so everyone dispersed, and Lin Qingdai went to the back garden for a walk.

"Is the stone now that we're following him?" Lin Qingdai said worriedly.

Du Wenhao said: "It's not that there is no such possibility. ”

Lin Qingdai said: "Wen Hao, then why did you still agree to leave that Ming Sen behind?" ”

Du Wenhao glanced at Lin Qingdai and said, "Do you think his kung fu is above you or below you?" ”

Lin Qingdai shook her head. Said: "It's hard to say, but it must be above Ke Yao, and it is effortless." ”

Du Wenhao said: "I left that Mingsen behind, I just don't want the stone to be suspicious, besides, it's not clear whether it's friend or foe, the stone hasn't had any wind and grass in the past few days, and suddenly wants to leave, I don't know if it's starting to act?" ”

Lin Qingdai: "That's it, let me follow him, see who he interacts with, and what kind of business he wants to do?" ”

Du Wenhao said: "Forget it, if he really guessed that we suspected him, then the tracking is in vain, or you will return in vain." Either it's exposed and startled, so there's no need. ”

Lin Qingdai was not convinced, and said: "I saw that Ming Sen was really arrogant, Ke Yao stepped forward, he didn't even move his fingers, I don't like that kind of self-righteous man the most." ”

Du Wenhao smiled and comforted: "Okay, don't be angry, now Wang Eighteen's son is at least under our control, and we can't control anything else." ”

Lin Qingdai smiled slyly. "I have a good idea. After speaking, he leaned into Du Wenhao's ear and whispered a few words, and Du Wenhao burst out laughing.

Lin Qingdai was puzzled and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Du Wenhao waved his hand and said, "You think it's a child's house, don't think about anything, stay at home with peace of mind." ”

Lin Qingdai pouted with a reluctant look, and Du Wenhao held her in his arms. He coaxed and persuaded: "Okay, if you want to do so much, it's also our own trouble, if you don't think too much." Where do so many things happen? It doesn't matter who he is, and he didn't harm us, don't you say? ”

Lin Qingdai sighed and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw Yingzi crying and ran over.

"Master, it's not good, it's not good!"

Du Wenhao frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Yingzi said: "The eldest young master is gone!" ”

Du Wenhao's mind quietly clicked, and he said, "What did you say?" ”

Yingzi glanced at Du Wenhao timidly, took a step back, and said in a low voice: "It's all because the slave is not good." ”

Lin Qingdai said eagerly: "Wen Hao, don't be in a hurry first, wait for Yingzi to finish speaking." ”

Yingzi cried and said: "After dinner, the young master thought that the house was too hot and refused to enter the house, Cuilian returned home with something at home, the eldest lady asked me to take the young master to play at the door for a while, I took the young master to sit at the gate, suddenly there was a buy wild fruit, the young master shouted to eat, I didn't bring money, so I asked Shisu to hold the young master at the door and wait, when I came out, Shisu and the young master were gone." ”

Du Wenhao walked out of the door and asked, "Did you tell the stone?" ”

Yingzi said: "I said." The housekeeper and the Ming steward have already sent someone out to look for it. ”

Du Wenhao said: "Does Qin'er know? ”

Yingzi nodded and said with difficulty: "Just let the master go and see, he has fainted." ”

Du Wenhao said angrily: "Confused! As he spoke, he walked directly towards Pang Yuqin's courtyard.

Lin Qingdai caught up and said, "Wen Hao, you go to the eldest lady, I'll go out and look for it first." ”

Du Wenhao nodded, and Lin Qingdai walked out quickly.

Du Wenhao came to Pang Yuqin's room, between which her two maids, Zisu and Ling Xiao, were kneeling on the ground, trembling with fright, Xue Fei'er and Li'er were guarding on the side, Pang Yuqin was lying on the bed with a pale face, and she had woken up.

Du Wenhao hurriedly stepped forward to hold Pang Yuqin's hand, and wanted to smile, but now that the tears had come out, he just grinned. said: "Don't worry, you've already gone out to look for it." ”

Pang Yuqin pointed at the perilla, trembling and speechless.

Du Wenhao looked at Zisu. Said: "What about the young master?" ”

Zi Su whimpered: "Master, the slave and maid should die, the young master wants to eat the fruit, I saw that Sister Yingzi went in to get the money, the young master was in a hurry, so he took him to choose the fruit, let him stand beside the slave and maid, who wanted to choose the fruit, but did not see the young master." ”

Pang Yuqin was in a hurry and fainted again, Du Wenhao pinched her middle man, and Pang Yuqin cried after a while.

Du Wenhao said: "Then where did you go?" Why did Yingzi say that you and the young master are gone. ”

Zi Su said: "I was concentrating on choosing fruits, and suddenly someone hit me in the back, I didn't know anything, and when I woke up, Ling Xiao was by my side." ”

Ling Xiao said: "Ruoyun and I appeared in the back alley, our heads were broken, and we were bleeding. ”

Du Wenhao said to Li'er and Xue Fei'er: "You guys are taking care of the eldest lady, I'll go out to find it." With that, he got up. Suddenly let Pang Yuqin pull it.

Du Wenhao held back his sadness and said with a reluctant smile: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

Pang Yuqin sobbed: "Xianggong, no matter what, you must bring Tianqi back to me, otherwise I won't be able to live." ”

Du Wenhao nodded, and when the net went out, Ke Yao ran over.

Du Wenhao was worried that Pang Yuqin would hear it, so he pulled Ke Yao out of the hospital and asked, "How is it?" ”

Ke Yao said: "We don't charge two families in this place, except for Hantou and money, there is no one at least a mile away, so just now the stone suspected that the person who sold the fruit was a human trafficker, that is, abducted and sold children, Sister Qingdai and Ming Sen rode out together in the direction of the county seat, and the stone went to the west with more than 20 courtyards, and the stone asked me to guard at home, I was really anxious, what is the use of guarding at home, Wen."

Du Wenhao tried to calm himself down, clear his thoughts well, and said, "Why did Qing Dai go with Ming Sen?" ”

Ke Yao said: "The stone was originally for Ming Sen to go alone, and Sister Qingdai insisted on going with him. ”

Du Wenhao understood that Lin Qingdai was probably not worried about Ming Sen, so he followed, but why did Shi have to let Ke Yao stay at home?

Du Wenhao was at a loss, and suddenly the porter Xiaosi hurriedly ran over with a letter and said, "Master, look at the chicken feather letter!" ”

Du Wenhao saw that there was really a chicken feather stuck on the envelope, and Xiao Si explained: "This is a blackmail letter asking for money, and most likely the young master has people tied up." ”

When Ke Yao heard this, he hurriedly said, "Wen Hao, hurry up and open the letter to see how much silver you want?" I'll send it to someone. ”

Du Wenhao opened the letter and looked at it, only to see a few words written crookedly on it: "Let Du Yunfan prepare five thousand taels of silver, and when he is a child, he will personally take the silver, and hand over the money in one hand to the rat cave and the other hand." ”

Ke Yao was anxious and said, "The time is so short, where can I find five thousand taels of silver, and what kind of place is the mouse hole?" ”

Xiao Si said: "It's about five miles away, it's not actually a hole, it's just a small hillside." ”

Du Wenhao said: Little four, do you know this place? ”

Xiao Si hurriedly said: "The slave naturally knows. ”

Du Wenhao said: "That's good, how much time does Ke Yao have?" ”

Ke Yao said: "There is still more than an hour

Du Wenhao said: "Okay." Then you stay at home and don't go out, I'll take the silver and Xiaosi to exchange for Tianqi.

Ke Yao said: "How can I let you go alone, what if those people go back on their word?" ”

Xiao Si said: "Sixth lady, don't worry, the people who usually write chicken feather letters are mountain bandits and road tyrants, but they just want money and won't hurt people's lives." ”

Ke Yao said angrily: "You are not a mountain bandit road blocker, how do you know?."

Xiao Si didn't know what to answer.

Du Wenhao said to Xiao Si: "You go and prepare two fast horses, and wait for me at the door in a while." ”

Xiao Si smiled and retreated.

Du Wenhao looked at Xiao Si's back, didn't know what he was thinking, and said to Ke Yao after a while: "Yu Xiaolan is not there?."

Ke Yao said: "Yes, look at the heavens from me."

Du Wenhao said: "Okay, let's hurry up and find Yulan now." ”

Ke Yao was puzzled and said, "What are you looking for Yulan for?" ”

Du Wenhao said: "You'll know if you go."

The two men were about to leave, and the stone returned.

Du Wenhao said: "You came back just in time, I received such a letter, you can take a look."

Shishi's clothes were wet with sweat, he took the letter and looked at it, frowned and said, "Only the black hair of the mouse hole can write chicken feather letters, what?" Could it be that he also did this kind of business to make a living? ”

Du Wenhao said: "What, do you know the person who wrote the letter?"

Shi said: "There is a rat hole five miles away, and there is a black market trader named Hei Mao. Everyone on the rivers and lakes knows that if he wants to find someone, he will naturally use this kind of chicken feather letter, but this person has been washing his hands for decades, how can he ,,? ”

Du Wenhao said: "I don't have time to think about it, I'll take Xiaosi and hurry up." ”

Shi said: "Master, I think it's better to let me go with you, if it's really black hair, then the matter will be easy to handle." ”

Du Wenhao thought for a while and said, "That's fine, but you can't go with me like this." ”

The stone was puzzled, and Du Wenhao said: "Let's go, let's talk while walking." ”

Shi said: "This person is so strange, as if he calculated the time and didn't let us think about it much, how did he rob people at this time, and then I really wanted to know that we all took people out, so I sent the letter to the master, fortunately, I was worried that the sixth lady was not at ease and insisted on going out, and no one at home returned to work, in case someone hit the west, it would be more troublesome, so I came back first." ”

Only then did Du Wenhao understand that it turned out that Shi Shi asked Ke Yao to stay at home because he was worried that someone was not the real kid making a fuss, so Shi should not be an accomplice.

The three of them hurried towards Ke Yao's courtyard.

After an hour, Xiao Si led two horses and stood anxiously outside the door, and when he saw Du Wenhao and Li'er coming out, he said, "Master, hurry up, or it's too late." ”

Du Wenhao said: "Didn't you say that the mountain bandit road rage is just greedy for money and won't hurt people's lives?" ”

Xiao Si sneered: "The slave is just worried about the safety of the eldest young master, and then when he saw Du Wenhao empty-handed, he said, "Master, where is your silver?" ”

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "With so much silver, I naturally took the silver ticket."

Xiao Si breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's the best, that's the best." ”

Du Wenhao said: "You go and bring another horse, and the sixth lady will go with us." ”

When Xiao Si heard this, he said, "Ah, don't go to the third lady." You don't know kung fu, Zi said that it was a woman's house, and it was a night road, and besides, didn't the housekeeper say before he left that he wouldn't let the sixth lady go? ”

Li'er didn't speak, and went straight to the horse, Xiaosi had no choice but to go to the backyard to bring a horse again. The three of them galloped away on horseback, and at this time a person came out of the door, and this person was Ke Yao.

Ke Yao called the concierge and asked, "Who is the night tonight?" ”

The servant replied, "It's a minion." ”

Ke Yao said: "What is the fourth little man doing?" ”

The servant said: "The slave doesn't know, it's not his class today, it stands to reason that he should go back after noon, who knows him, probably no money to gamble, idle and boring." ”

Ke Yao said: "What? Little four has the habit of gambling money?.

The subordinate did not dare to speak.

Seeing this, Ke Yao said softly: "Don't worry, tell me, I naturally won't ask him, and I won't tell Steward Ming."

After hearing this, the subordinate whispered: Xiao Si is a veritable gambler, and yesterday he shouted in front of the slave that he owed the casino a lot of silver, and if he didn't pay it back, he would let the people in the casino have a lot of hands and feet. Ke Yao showed a smile and said: "A few days ago, I heard that Shi said that he borrowed a new gown for Xiao Si, and before the young master lost it, he also said that he would let Xiao Si take it back, he will take it before dawn tomorrow, and now I am afraid that I will not have time to take it, do you know where Xiao Si lives?."

The subordinate said: "The slave and the fourth are not far apart, if the sixth lady wants the slave to help get the gown." The minions are going. ”

Ke Yao said: "Then you go, it's not far, right?" ”

The servant said: "Don't worry, isn't the concierge two people every night?" I asked the other person to watch closely, and at most a stick of incense kung fu minion returned. ”

Ke Yao said: "Okay then, then you can go back." ”

The subordinates listened and went out.

Ke Yao watched the man walk out of the door, and followed while the person was unprepared.

Mouse hole.

It's really with Bu Si. It's just a small hill. After leaving the official road, I will probably see Gong 77 after a while

Xiao Si walked in the front, Du Wenhao and Shi followed, but Xiao Si didn't know that the person behind him was Shishi, and thought it was the third lady who was powerless.

When he arrived at a ruined temple, Xiao Si got off his horse, lit a torch, and said, "Master, third lady, it's here." ”

The moonlight was not very good, as if it had been veiled, and the earth was gray.

Du Wenhao said: "Haha, this person will also choose a day, this kind of night is best to do something to steal chickens and dogs." ”

Xiao Si said: "Master, the time is coming soon, I'll go see if there is anyone nearby." ”

Du Wenhao snorted and quickly got into the broken temple, and soon came out again, saying, "These people can't be lying, right?" Why haven't you seen a figure yet, come, master, you and the third lady have some water first, you must be thirsty after running so far. ”

"Li'er" didn't speak, just shook his head, Du Wenhao said: "Drink, since we are here, we will wait with peace of mind." After saying that, he walked to the side of the stone, as if comforting, and whispered, "Take it with the water." Immediately after, there was something like a pill in the palm of the stone's hand.

Du Wenhao said to Xiao Si: "You go and have a look, the third lady should be convenient, you go farther." ”

Xiao Si listened: "Master, you drink the water first, I just saw a river not far away, and the slave will call some more." ”

Du Wenhao glanced at the stone, saw that he took the pill and water together, and then drank it himself, handed the kettle to Xiao Si and Xiao Si and retreated with a smile. When Du Wenhao saw Xiao Si leaving, he asked in a low voice, "Do you know what kind of medicine this is?" ”

Shi said: "Meng * sweat * medicine, this kid really has a problem, I don't know what happened to the sixth lady." ”

Du Wenhao said: "Since it is a sweat * medicine, then shouldn't we?" After speaking, he lay straight on the ground for a long time, approaching the stone and pretending to be a woman and fell aside.

After a while, he heard a sound of footsteps, walked in front of Du Wenhao, hummed twice, squatted down and groped on Du Wenhao's body, groping. also said proudly: "Hmph, with your Mr. Du's ability, it can't be worth my Sun Xiaosi, who am I, hmph, when you and this little beauty wake up, Lao Tzu has already gone away, haha, as for your son, if you can guess that it is me, then your son can still be saved, if you can't guess, then you can only let him freeze to death in my broken house." ”

"Damn, where's the silver ticket? Xiao Si touched one side up and down and didn't show anything, and began to be anxious, and said, "This Mr. Du, shouldn't be so stingy that he came out to save his son without a word?" Hmph, since this is the case, Lao Tzu can't come in vain, fortunately, there is also a beautiful woman who is very beautiful, hehehehe, after speaking, he passed towards the stone.

Just when Xiao Si's stinky mouth was about to touch the cheek of the stone, the stone finally couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up with a loud shout, and was about to catch fire, but Xiao Sihai didn't react to what was going on, and had already fallen, and behind him was Du Wenhao holding the water hyacinth and looking at the stone with a smile.

The stone kicked Xiao Si's body fiercely, and said, "Be careful of this shameless one, I'll bite you to death." ”

Du Wenhao laughed and said, "Let's go." We hurried to take him back to the city. ”

After speaking, the stone threw the little four behind his horse, then turned over and took the reins of the horse, and followed Du Wenhao and the two of them to the way back to the city.

Halfway through, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from afar, and the stone said, "It's Mingsen." ”

Du Wenhao didn't speak, but thought in his heart, you won't be so familiar that you can even hear the sound of a person riding a horse, right?

Sure enough, I saw Mingsen galloping alone on horseback.

Du Wenhao said: "What about the fifth lady? ”

Ming Sen said: The little one and the fifth lady didn't show up when they entered the city, and they found a few dealers who often sell people in the black market and asked, and they all said no, we had to come back, go home, and listen to the people who said that after you received the chicken feather letter, you took the fourth and third lady to the mouse cave, so I rushed over non-stop, how did the little four,"

Du Wenhao knew that Ming Sen didn't recognize the stone, originally the stone was so much taller than Li'er, there were so many burly, so many burrows, in addition to the disguise, if an acquaintance looked carefully, he could still see the clues, but the sky was too dark, and everyone was in a hurry, so even Xiao Si didn't show up.

The stone didn't speak, so Du Wenhao said: "That thief is Xiaosi, let's hurry back to the city to save the child, the child is in their house." ”

Ming Sen said: "This way, you and the third lady take your time, and Ming Sen will hurry to take a look first." ”

Du Wenhao agreed without saying anything, and Ming Sen quickly disappeared into the night.

Du Wenhao asked, "Why didn't you tell your brother Mingsen?" ”

The stone said, "Why bother? Besides, I promised you not to let anyone else know about this matter, which naturally includes Ming Sen. ”

Du Wenhao said tentatively: "Isn't it okay to be a brother?" ”

The stone nodded and said, "That's natural." ”

Du Wenhao believed that the person in front of him was the mighty general Shi Xian that Lin Qingdai said.

The two of them still followed Ming Sen all the way into the city and found Xiao Si's house, but no one was there, and Ming Sen was waiting there anxiously.

"Master, what should I do?"

Du Wenhao entered the house and took a look, and suddenly there was a juanpa nailed with a dagger on the pillar in the center of the room, and when he got closer, he smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, let's go home, the young master has already gone home." ”

Ming Sen didn't count, and said, "Why?" ”

Du Wenhao pointed to Juanpa on the pillar and said, "The sixth lady has already taken the young master away first. ”

Ming Sen then understood, and said, "Oh, that's good, it really scared the little one, I wonder if Brother Shi has gone back?" ”

Du Wenhao glanced at the stone, the stone didn't speak, stood in the dark, saw them come out, he rode the horse first, Du Wenhao knew that he had to go back to find Murong Yulan, so he said: "Li'er, you go back and have a look first, Mingsen and I will come back with Xiaosi." ”

The stone nodded, and rode away.

Ming Sen said: "Master, I heard Brother Shi say that the fifth lady and the sixth lady in the family can fight and kick, you don't bring the sixth lady, why did you come out with three people?" ”

Du Wenhao said: "Didn't you want to deliberately deceive Xiaosi?" Let him know that I bring someone who can't punch or kick, and he can rest assured. After finishing speaking, he smiled secretly in his heart, this stone is really cute, and at a critical time, he forgot to say that he didn't know kung fu in front of people, and rushed to go with himself, didn't he worry about making himself realize that he was originally good at kung fu, and he was not necessarily better than this Ming Sen.
