The distraught Wang Hongyun was not in the mood to stay for a long time, so he left after drinking a few glasses of wine, preparing to find a Qinglou to spend the night, and went out of the city early the next morning to stay in the town outside the city in the name of play, secretly waiting for Li Hongyu and Fang Yun to investigate the case of Qingyue Pavilion.

After Wang Hongyun left, Li Hongyu told Fang Yun about Chen Aniu, and now that he and Fang Yun are in a cooperative relationship, he naturally wants to share the news with him.

"There is definitely something wrong with this Chen Aniu!"

After learning about Chen Aniu, Fang Yun frowned and said, he didn't believe that Chen Aniu would make a fortune for no reason, considering the current situation, it was not difficult to come to the conclusion that Chen Aniu's money was obviously the reward and hush money for killing Xu Tao.

"Brother Fang, do you know that Han Tai and Xu Tao have a grudge?" Li Hongyu nodded when he heard this, and then asked, if the mastermind behind the scenes is Hankook, then Hankook will definitely not do it for no reason.

"I've never heard of it." Fang Yun shook his head, he hadn't heard of any conflict between Han Tai and Xu Tao before.

"Brother Fang, junior brother thinks that if it is Han Taibu's game, then he will never do it for no reason, there must be some entanglement between the two, but Xu Tao doesn't know."

Li Hongyu's face couldn't help but flash a look of disappointment, and after thinking about it, he said, "Brother Lao Fang has worked hard to find a way to secretly find the fellow villagers who are familiar with the past of the two, maybe we can find the intersection between the two from all kinds of things." ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Fang Yun couldn't help but nod when he heard this, he also wanted to know what kind of relationship between Han Tai and Xu Tao actually made Han Tai do this to Xu Tao.

Although it is still impossible to confirm that Han Tae is the mastermind behind the Mingyue Pavilion case, judging from the current situation, Fang Yun believes that Han Tae is the real murderer.

After dinner, Li Hongyu and Fang Yun broke up in front of the restaurant, took a carriage back to their home, leaned on the wall of the carriage on the way and closed their eyes to recuperate, secretly thinking about the Mingyue Pavilion case.

"Who are you?" Just as Li Hongyu was contemplating and pondering, the coachman's shouting and questioning came from outside the curtain, and the carriage then listened.

"Oops!" Before Li Hongyu could open his eyes, there were brief sounds of fighting and sound outside, and then the surroundings fell silent.

Li Hongyu naturally heard the sound outside the carriage, his brows suddenly frowned slightly, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart, so after opening his eyes, he reached out and opened the car curtain, wanting to see what was happening outside.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Li Hongyu didn't have time to see the scene outside, a pair of big hands stretched out from outside the carriage, suddenly grabbed the collar on his chest, and pulled it back.

Li Hongyu's body immediately flew up, and was dragged out of the carriage by the other party, and fell to the ground next to the carriage with a thud, and his buttocks slammed on the ground, making him grin in pain.

However, Li Hongyu also saw the situation at the scene clearly, more than a dozen masked men in black clothes gathered around the carriage, and the groom and the guard Li Hongyu's courtyard were knocked to the ground and fainted, because it was dark at night, there was no pedestrian on the street.

"Who are you?" Li Hongyu found that he was only one alley away from the Li Mansion at this time, and it was obvious that the other party was taken aback by deliberately setting up an ambush here to wait for him, and couldn't help asking, he didn't seem to have offended anyone.

"Bundled!" However, those men in black didn't pay attention to Li Hongyu, and a strong man with five big and three thick men in the lead waved his hand at him and shouted in a deep voice.

Suddenly, several black-clothed men rushed up and tied Li Hongyu up, and in order to prevent him from asking for help, he also stuffed a ball of rags in his mouth, and the taste was pungent and almost made Li Hongyu vomit with disgust.

Then, Li Hongyu was stuffed into a sack and carried by someone and ran away.

Not long after the black-clothed men disappeared, a nursing home who had fainted on the ground patted his drowsy head and woke up, and when he found that Li Hongyu in the carriage had disappeared, he was taken aback, and hurriedly woke up his companion who was lying on the ground unconscious, and hurriedly went back to the house to report the news.

Because he was in the sack, Li Hongyu didn't know where those black-clothed men had taken him, but he felt as if he had entered a mansion that covered a vast area, and those people walked around the mansion for a long time before stopping, and then walked down a distance into a dark and damp place, and the sound of running water could be heard.

Not long after entering the dark and damp place with the sound of running water, Li Hongyu fell off his shoulder by the person he was carrying, and he grinned again in pain.

"It's a dog!" Soon, someone opened the rope at the mouth of the sack and pulled him out of the sack, and his face suddenly changed when he saw the environment he was in.

It turned out that Li Hongyu was taken into a water dungeon located underground, no wonder he heard the sound of running water.

When Li Hongyu was stunned, someone untied the rope on his body, then opened the door of the water prison and pushed him into the water in the prison, and then locked the prison door.

The water prison where Li Hongyu is located is a large pool with a wall more than three meters high, and more than one meter high in it, and the entrance to the pool is on the top, but it is sealed by a strong iron fence.

As a result, the victim had to enter and exit through the iron fence on top, and had to be pulled up with a rope, so there was no way to escape.

"Who are you? Why did you arrest me? Seeing those black-clothed men lock the door and want to leave, Li Hongyu, who was standing in the water prison, couldn't help but raise his head and shouted at them, until now he didn't know why he was arrested here.

However, the black-clothed men ignored him, locked the door of the water dungeon and walked away quickly, and soon the surroundings were quiet, only the sound of running water rattled.

Seeing this situation, Li Hongyu had no choice but to give up, and stood in the water with his hands on his chest with a depressed face, not knowing why he was arrested by those people.

It was already September, and the weather was starting to get cooler, and the water was naturally a little cold, which made Li Hongyu suddenly feel a chill.

"Could it be that this is the Chu Palace?" Li Hongyu really didn't know why he was arrested, and suddenly remembered something while meditating, and then couldn't help but look up at this water prison, the only person who could build such a large water prison in Wuchang City was the Chu Palace.

Thinking of this, a wry smile flashed at the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, in this way, it would be possible to explain why he was arrested in this place, it must be some little prince or little county lord of the Chu Palace's mansion who wanted to make Zhu Wanting angry, so he used this method to "repair" him.

The reason why Li Hongyu thinks that this matter was not done by Zhu Wanting is very simple, Zhu Wanting has an arrogant personality and will not use this kind of indiscriminate means to deal with him.

Besides, if Zhu Wanting is angry, it means that she still has Li Hongyu in her heart, and naturally she will not let Li Hongyu suffer in the water prison.

Regarding the situation in front of him, Li Hongyu only smiled bitterly, he felt that he was completely self-inflicted, if he knew that he would be so unlucky, he would have adopted a gentle way, not using Qin Yue to stimulate Zhu Wanting, but he was in prison, and he was a little too hasty.

Until now, Li Hongyu can only secretly pray, hoping that Zhu Wanting can know about this matter as soon as possible and save his life.

At this moment, the Li Mansion was enveloped in a tense atmosphere, and Li Hongqing paced back and forth in the reception hall in the front yard with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows locked.

On the chair on the side, Qin Yue sat there with an anxious expression, and there was a nervous Rou'er standing beside her, and the two of them had to look out of the door from time to time: after learning the news that Li Hongyu had been robbed, Li Hongqing had already sent someone to look for it, hoping to find clues.

In Li Hongqing's opinion, Li Hongyu was kidnapped by **** people, and wanted to use it to extort money, otherwise he really couldn't think of anyone who would do this, and if the other party sought revenge, he would definitely kill Li Hongyu on the spot.

As time passed, the people sent by Li Hongqing to look for them returned one after another, and it was disappointing that no one could find any news related to Li Hongyu.

"Chief, is there any news from the young master?" Just when Li Hongqing was secretly anxious, Wang Tieniu walked into the hall quickly, and asked with a concerned expression, he was monitoring the people in Mingyue Pavilion just now, and hurriedly rushed over after hearing that Li Hongyu had an accident.

"Miss Qin, in my opinion, it's better to report to the official, those who dare to kidnap the third brother must be ruthless, even if they receive the ransom, I'm afraid they will tear up the ticket, we have to guard against it!" Li Hongqing shook his head, and then said worriedly to Qin Yue, who was sitting on the side, that the only person he could discuss now was Qin Yue.

"You can't report to the official, if those people know about the young master, they won't be able to live." Hearing this, Rou'er's face changed, and she immediately objected.

"Chief, Zhao Gongzi is in Hankou, you will send someone to invite him tomorrow." Qin Yue was now in a state of confusion, and he had no idea for a while, and the official was worried that the person who robbed Li Hongyu would know about tearing up the ticket, but if he gave the money to them, those people would also tear up the ticket, so he said to Li Hongqing after a deep groan.

Zhao Xin can be said to be Li Hongyu's best friend in Wuchang City, the two have been through hardships together, so they are worthy of Qin Yue's trust, so they want to invite Zhao Xin to discuss countermeasures, and ask Zhao Xin to help with ideas, after all, this matter is very important and it is difficult for her to decide.

"Okay, I'll send someone to Hankou early tomorrow morning to invite Zhao Gongzi back."

Li Hongqing couldn't help but pat his forehead when he heard this, he was so anxious just now that he forgot about Zhao Xin, since Zhao Xin connected Hu Guangsheng to Wuchangwei to support Li Hongyu, he admired and trusted Zhao Xin a lot.

It stands to reason that Zhao Xin is Li Hongyu's brother in life and death, and the relationship between the two is one step closer than Qin Yue, the unmarried fiancée, and it is naturally Zhao Xin who takes the decision at this critical moment.

However, neither Qin Yue, Rou'er nor Li Hongqing would have thought that Zhao Xin, whom they had high hopes for, would be a woman, and she would also be Li Hongyu's official fiancée.
