The next day, when the people sent by Li Hongqing hurried to Hankou City to meet Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin was about to go to the town outside the city with Zhao Deyi to discuss business.

Knowing that Li Hongyu was kidnapped by an unknown person last night, Zhao Xin was taken aback, and hurried to Wuchang City after saying hello to Zhao Deyi.

Looking at Zhao Xin, who was leaving in a hurry, Zhao Deyi couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, as long as it was Li Hongyu's matter, Zhao Xin would become very concerned, and would rather abandon the business at hand.

It is worth mentioning that although Zhao Deyi is Zhao Xin's father, he does not know about Li Hongyu's kidnapping, after all, the less people know about this matter, the better.

Along the way, Zhao Xin's willow eyebrows frowned tightly, she really couldn't figure out why Li Hongyu was tied up, you must know that Emperor Wanli had just issued an order to praise Li Hongyu, so kidnapping Li Hongyu would become a crime of bullying the king, and he would rob his family and exterminate his family.

"Zhao Gongzi, what do you say we should do now?" At noon, after Zhao Xin came to the Li Mansion, Qin Yue, who had no master of the six gods, hurriedly stepped forward and asked urgently, the so-called concern is chaotic, and now I don't know what to do.

"Did the kidnappers send a letter to blackmail?" Zhao Xin was actually very worried about Li Hongyu in her heart, but she had followed Zhao Deyi to the north and south since she was a child, and she was well-informed, so she forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked calmly.

Qin Yue shook her head when she heard this, the look on her face became even more anxious, this kind of day without news was simply a kind of torment, because in this way, it was impossible to know Li Hongyu's situation, and his life and death were uncertain.

"It's noon now, and if the other party wants to kidnap Brother Li for money, then they should have put forward conditions last night." Seeing this, Zhao Xin's willow eyebrows couldn't help frowning deeper, and she couldn't figure out the other party's intentions for a while.

Obviously, the kidnappers undoubtedly have two purposes, one is to make money, and the other is to kill people, if they were to make money, they should have put forward conditions a long time ago, and if they killed Li Hongyu, they would have been killed at that time.

Could it be that the other party wants to kill Li Hongyu with his own hands? But Li Hongyu did not have such a deep hatred, the only "enemy" Zhang Quan had already left Wuchang City a few days ago, even if he had the courage to fight Li Hongyu's idea on the cusp of the storm.

Most importantly, Emperor Wanli sent a holy decree to reward Li Hongyu, so it was not wise to provoke Li Hongyu at this time.

"What's going on in the market?" After a deep groan, Zhao Xin opened her mouth and asked Wang Tieniu who was standing on the side, she knew that Wang Tieniu was in charge of the external affairs of the Li family, so she would definitely send someone to investigate after Li Hongyu was kidnapped.

"It's calm." Wang Tieniu shook his head expressionlessly, he sent someone to the market early this morning to investigate, but there was no news of Li Hongyu.

Zhao Xinyan's face suddenly flashed with disappointment, according to the current situation, he didn't know who kidnapped Li Hongyu for what, Li Hongyu evaporated from the world silently, all this is too unreasonable.

"Zhao Gongzi, do you want to report to the official?" At this time, Qin Yue asked nervously, because the kidnappers had not come to the news for a long time, she began to worry about Li Hongyu's safety.

"The other party acted quickly, and robbed Brother Li in a short period of time, not like some rabble."

Zhao Xin knew that Qin Yue was worried about Li Hongyu, to be honest, she was also very confused now, but she knew that she had to stay calm or no one would be able to save Li Hongyu, so she stabilized her mind and re-examined the case, then frowned at Qin Yue and asked, "Second Miss, has Brother Li provoked anyone these days?" ”

After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Xin felt that the black-clothed men who robbed Li Hongyu were well-trained and did not look like ordinary people, and the people who could have this kind of skills were definitely either rich or noble, and had a deep background.

Obviously, the other party will not tie up Li Hongyu for no reason, so as to take a huge risk of offending Emperor Wanli, so Li Hongyu must have some unknown grievances and entanglements with the other party.

Therefore, Zhao Xin wanted to know whether Li Hongyu had provoked anyone in private, if not, the other party seemed to have no reason to target Li Hongyu.

This is the only possibility that Zhao Xin can think of Li Hongyu being kidnapped at present, so she decided to investigate the case from this direction, hoping to gain something.

"Brother Yu is low-key and hasn't provoked anyone." Qin Yue thought about it carefully when she heard this, and then replied with an anxious expression, she had also considered this aspect before, but after asking Li Hongqing, Wang Tieniu and Rou'er, she didn't find that Li Hongyu had provoked anyone.

Zhao Xin couldn't help but glance at Qin Yue a little strangely when she heard this, in her impression, Qin Yue had always called Li Hongyu "Li Gongzi" or "Third Gongzi", and she was really surprised to call Li Hongyu affectionately "Brother Yu" after not seeing her for more than ten days.

"That's weird, why would the other party do such a thing, and what good is it for them?" However, she didn't have the energy to think about this matter now, and after learning that Li Hongyu didn't provoke others, Liu Mei couldn't help frowning deeper.

If this is the case, then it will be troublesome, if someone secretly sees that Li Hongyu is not pleasing to the eye and then takes action against him, then it will not be found out in a short time, and Li Hongyu's safety will not be guaranteed.

"Zhao Gongzi, something happened a few days ago, I don't know if it has anything to do with Brother Yu." Seeing that Zhao Xin couldn't guess the motive of the kidnapper, Qin Yue, who was in an anxious mood, suddenly remembered something, her face suddenly changed, and after hesitating for a moment, she said to Zhao Xin with a complicated expression.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Xin couldn't help but look at Qin Yue when she heard this, she felt that Qin Yue's expression was a little weird, and she looked like she wanted to say something.

"Zhao Gongzi, you come with me." Qin Yue glanced at Li Hongqing, Wang Tieniu and the others at the scene, and after a deep groan, she walked out of the door.

Zhao Xin realized that Qin Yue had something that was not easy to say in public, so he followed Qin Yue out and stopped under a secluded big tree in the courtyard, Li Hongqing, Wang Tieniu and others couldn't help but look at the distance curiously, not knowing what Qin Yue wanted to say to Zhao Xin.

"Zhao Gongzi, Brother Yu went to see the Zhaoxiang County Lord of Xiangyang Mansion a few days ago." Under Zhao Xin's concerned gaze, Qin Yue bit her lip and whispered everything that happened on the painting boat a few days ago.

This made Zhao Xin's face suddenly show an extremely shocked look, he never expected that Li Hongyu would know Zhu Wanting, the little county lord, no wonder the people from the Chu Wangfu would break into Wuchangwei to save Li Hongyu, it turned out to be because of Zhu Wanting.

And listening to the meaning of Li Hongyu's words, Zhu Wanting also saved Li Hongyu's life in Wuchangwei Prison, otherwise he would have been murdered by Zhang Quan.

"...... between the county lord of Zhaoxiang and Brother Li" After listening to Qin Yue's story, Zhao Xin came back to her senses for a while, and looked at Qin Yue with a look of disbelief, she really couldn't believe that Zhu Wanting would like Li Hongyu.

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have been too sharp at that time, and then offended the county lord of Zhaoxiang."

Qin Yue nodded when she heard this, she could naturally see whether Zhu Wanting liked Li Hongyu or not, and then fell into deep self-blame, and said with annoyance, "Actually, that "Liang Zhu" was played by Brother Yu on the violin to Rou'er, and it was not made for me at all, presumably this incident hurt Lord Zhaoxiang." ”

Because it was Qin Yue who offended Zhu Wanting in this matter, she didn't think about Zhu Wanting at all after Li Hongyu was robbed, otherwise the other party would definitely not let him go, it was because she was safe and sound that Zhu Wanting's suspicion was ruled out early.

However, now after Zhao Xin's reminder, Qin Yue couldn't help but feel that Zhu Wanting was very likely to tie up Li Hongyu because of love and hatred.

"That way everything makes sense." Seeing Qin Yue nodding, Zhao Xin couldn't help but come back to her senses, and bowed slightly in shock, thinking that Li Hongyu was robbed this time must have something to do with Zhu Wanting.

"Zhao Gongzi, will the county lord ...... Will it be bad for Brother Yu? Qin Yue's heart suddenly hung up when she heard this, and she looked at Zhao Xin with a concerned expression and asked, in fact, what she wanted to say was whether Zhu Wanting would kill Li Hongyu but couldn't ask for a while.

"Since the county lord can go to Wuchangwei to save Brother Li, and invite Brother Li to the painting boat to drink in women's clothes, it is obvious that he has a deep affection for Brother Li, and he should not hurt Brother Li."

Zhao Xin groaned for a while and shook her head, she is also a woman, if Li Hongyu uses Qin Yue to anger her, although she is very angry in her heart, she will not poison Li Hongyu because of this matter, at most she will "ravage" Li Hongyu in her heart to vent her anger.

However, Zhao Xin's expression gradually became serious, she didn't think that it was Zhu Wanting's instruction to rob Li Hongyu, it was very likely that it was the popularity of Chu Wangfu, but Zhu Wanting was "bullied", and then she came out and kidnapped Li Hongyu, in that case, Li Hongyu would undoubtedly have to suffer some hardships, and maybe he would have to worry about his life.

"Zhao Gongzi, what should I do now, I can't just go to the main people of Zhaoxiang County like this!" Qin Yue's heart was in a mess at this time, and she looked at Zhao Xin anxiously and said, you must know that Zhu Wanting is the county lord, how can anyone see it?

"I want to find a way to meet the county lord, and the bell must be tied to the bell, and this matter is caused by the county lord, so the county lord needs to come to the end." Qin Yue knew the seriousness of the situation, and after a deep groan, she said to Qin Yue, "You ask Miss Rou'er to prepare, and then bring the violin and go with me." ”

"Sister Rou'er is going too?" Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Zhao Xin wanted to take Rou'er forward.

"I want to open the county lord's heart knot, this matter can only be done by Rou'er." Zhao Xin nodded solemnly, she was a little worried about Li Hongyu's safety now, so she wanted to see Zhu Wanting as soon as possible, obviously the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for Li Hongyu.

If you go to see Zhu Wanting directly, you will definitely be stopped by the people of the Chu Palace, you must know that Zhu Wanting is the county lord, how can anyone see it?

As for reporting that his family wants to see Zhu Wanting because of Li Hongyu's matter, then he will definitely be blocked by the people in the Chu Palace's palace who are angry with Zhu Wanting.

Therefore, as for how to see Zhu Wanting, you can only outwit it, not force it.
