At dusk, inside Xingyuan City, west of the city

The entire Xingyuan City had an extraordinary day this day.

Sun Decai of the Sun family in the west of the city got married yesterday, and this morning he took the new bride Ding Xiu out of the city to worship the ancestors, this thing spread all over the city in the morning not long after, everyone praised Sun Decai for having both ability and integrity, Ding Xiuren was beautiful and kind, did not think about it, the two went to worship the ancestors from morning to night and did not return, Sun Fu and the old Ding family of the west of the city went out to find the two newcomers from the afternoon, but they did not find these two.

There was no sign of sweeping the tomb of the Sun family to worship the ancestors, and there were a large number of blood stains on the halfway side of the mountain, which made the people of the Sun and Ding families cry and red-eyed.

And at the same time, Mo Qianhua, who is actually in charge of most of the shops in the south and west of the city, has not returned since last night, and these two pieces of news instantly spread throughout Xingyuan City, and in an instant, most people in Xingyuan City were panicked, after all, those who disappeared within a day were the top two wealthy merchants in Xingyuan City, and the mountain bandits near Xingyuan City were so rampant.

Xingyuan City guards Wen Ruyu Mansion.

Tell me what you two think about this. Wen Ruyu sat in the main hall, and there were two people standing in front of him, one was Tian Shunliang, the commander of the Yacha, and the other was Bai Xian, the general of the garrison.

'Lord City Shou, I have already asked the north of the city in the morning, not long after Sun Decai left the city, the old, Ding Shunhe Restaurant's Xiao Er with a group of people also followed behind him out of the city, coaxing the Ya Cha is to go out of the city to escort Sun Decai, but so far has not returned, I asked Ding Shunhe in detail today, the little two is Sun Decai married Ding Xiu two days before came to the city, when he fled with her wife, Ding Shunhe kindly took in the little two and his wife, and then the two groups of people, a total of seven people suddenly came to this Ding Shun He's restaurant, and then this morning, these seven people disappeared at the same time, this villain is sureThis must have been planned in advance by this group of kidnappers. Tian Shunliang, the commander of the yacha, stepped forward and said.

"If it's as you said, then it's easy to say, this is a well-planned kidnapping, since the kidnappers have been plotting for a long time, they must be preparing to ask for ransom, have you informed Sun Yutou?" Wen Ruyu nodded after hearing this, and said.

'Lord Wen, the villain has already informed Sun Yutou, and has quietly arranged a lot of dark lines around Sun's mansion, once a suspicious person appears, he will instantly arrest him and ask about their whereabouts. Tian Shunliang continued to reply.

'Well, that's good, it's well arranged. Wen Ruyu was very satisfied when she heard Tian Shunliang's arrangement, and then added, "In the past few days, I will increase the number of yacha to guard the entrances of the city gates, and set up some people who are on standby at any time, Xingyuan City cannot have such a situation in my hands." ’

At this moment, after Wen Ruyu had just finished speaking, Bai Xian, the general of the garrison, saw Wen Ruyu looking at him, so he consciously stepped forward and arched his hand, and said, "My lord, I have gathered all the garrisons, and I will look for and attack along the way in the next few days, day and night, I must wipe out this gang and the surrounding mountain bandits!"

"If you do what you told me in a down-to-earth manner, there will be no such thing today, the three of them disappear in one day, and they are all big families in this city, what do you let other people think, can this Xingyuan City still stay safely, and can the merchants in the past still enter and exit safely?" Wen Ruyu obviously sprinkled all this anger on the body of this garrison general, and the garrison of this Xingyuan City was indeed too lax because of comfort.

As soon as Bai Xian, the general of the garrison, heard Wen Ruyu's words, he bowed his head and said, "Lord City Guard is angry, today's matter is really unfavorable, I implore Lord City Guard to give me three days, I will sweep away all the mountain bandits in the vicinity and capture all this group of mountain bandits alive!"

"Hmph, three days, what if you can't catch it after three days?" Wen Ruyu squinted her eyes and looked at Bai Xian seriously.

"If it's ...... in three days," Bai Xian, the general of the garrison, was halfway through his words, and suddenly someone outside the door came to report.

"My lord, my lord, there is a group of people who have returned from the north of the city, including Lao Ding's daughter, Ding Xiu!"

'What!' As soon as Wen Ruyu heard the report, she instantly sat up in shock, looked at the official messenger, and asked, "You mean, Ding Xiu, who married Sun Decai yesterday?"

'Yes, Lord Huiyu, there is now a large crowd of people at the north gate of the city!' replied the messenger.

"Quick, take all the people there!" Wen Ruyu immediately took the lead out of the hall after confirming, and ordered as she walked into the courtyard.

"That's Xiuxiu, that's Xiuxiu, you see, that's the second child in Lao Ding Restaurant, and that woman is also in Lao Ding Restaurant." The onlookers looked at the people surrounded by the yacha and said.

'Xiuxiu!Xiuxiu!Scared to death 1'At this moment, three people suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, it was Lao Ding, his wife and son, Lao Ding's wife squeezed to the front of the crowd to see the face of a woman among the several people, and she was still trembling, so she wailed and wanted to enter the crowd and come to her daughter's side.

'Lao Ding, you know the rules in the yamen, don't make it difficult for the brothers. Seeing that Lao Ding's wife was about to push away the yacha and rush into the crowd, a yacha stepped forward, looked at Lao Ding, and said.

Lao Ding also looked bitter at this time, looked at the yacha in front of him, and then stepped forward and grabbed his old woman, and said, "Don't mess around, Xiuxiu is not so good, what are you crying about!

Under Lao Ding's mediation, his wife and son no longer tried to rush into the crowd, but cried and watched Xiuxiu on the edge.

"Lord City Guard has arrived!" At this moment, a large part of the yacha and the garrison walked here, and the crowd got out of the way, and the person who walked in front of the yacha and the garrison was, of course, Wen Ruyu, followed by Tian Shunliang and Bai Xian on both sides.

'Where are the people!' Wen Ruyu asked when she saw dozens of officials gathered around in front of her.

'Hui Yu, this group of suspicious people has been surrounded by his subordinates. When the foreman heard this, he handed over his hand to report.

When Wen Ruyu heard this, she led everyone to surround these six people again, and this time the whole thing was impassable.

Wen Ruyu squinted, looked at these people, and did not speak.

'My lord, the youngest and dark-skinned boy is the second child in Lao Ding's mansion, and the woman standing next to him is his wife who fled with him, and the others should be his accomplices, and the woman standing trembling in the middle of them is Sun Decai's wife, Xiuxiu. Yacha Tian Shunliang whispered in Wen Ruyu's ear.

'Xiao Er, let me ask you, why did you kidnap Sun Decai, and where is he now?' Wen Ruyu straightened her voice after hearing this, and then said.

Sun Eryi, who was standing at the forefront, listened to the city guard Wen Ruyu ask himself, then looked at the other party, didn't say a word, and threw a package in his hand to the city guard Wen Ruyu.

When Wen Ruyu saw that the other party didn't say a word and threw something at him, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back, but the thing that was thrown was grabbed by Bai Xian, the general of the garrison beside him, when he retreated.

Bai Xian looked at the bloody thing in his hand and chuckled in his heart, he knew that he didn't know whose head it was!

Of course, Wen Ruyu didn't know that he had been in charge of Xingyuan City for so many years, and he had never experienced this at all, so he didn't even think about it, and ordered, 'Bai Xian, open this thing!'

Of course, Bai Xian didn't dare to refute after hearing this, so he had to put the package on the ground and then open it to see.

'Mo Qianhua!' Wen Ruyu exclaimed after looking at the head in the package.

When the surrounding people heard that it was Mo Qianhua's head, they immediately talked about it like a fried pot, and at this time, Wen Ruyu, the city guard, saw the bloody head and frightened him to take a few steps back, and then his stomach couldn't stop rolling.

Bai Xian saw that the city guard was a little overwhelmed, so he hurriedly stepped forward to wrap the package here.

Wen Ruyu eased up, pointed at the six people, and said in a slur manner, "General, take them, take them down, these people are the murderers of Boss Mo!"

When the people received the command, they drew their swords one after another.

'Wait!' At this moment, Sun Er stepped forward and said loudly, "It was this Mo Qianhua who conspired with Sun Decai and wanted to kill Xiuxiu's life, and we waited for the secret report that this Mo Qianhua and Sun Decai were doing unsightly things in private!"

'You, you talk nonsense, you. When Wen Ruyu heard this, she said with some annoyance, "Now that this Mo Qianhua has been cut off by you, presumably Sun Decai is also dead, right?"

Yes, we have killed both of them. After hearing this, Sun Er nodded.

"Hmph, there is no proof of death, I killed you, and told the people in Xingyuan City with your heads, saying that you are murderers, can you defend yourself?"

"First, the victim Ding Xiu can testify to us, and second, Mo Qianhua's henchmen can!" Sun Er shouted at the crowd.

'Yes, yes below. After hearing Sun Er's words, a disgusted little old man squeezed out of the crowd, came to the front, and looked at Sun Er.

'We're catchers. Sun Er looked at the little old man and said.

After hearing Sun Er's words, the little old man's face suddenly changed greatly, he looked at the head on the ground, then looked at Sun Er, and asked, 'Do you have any documents?'

Yes, you need to see you alone in the secret room to know the truth or not. Sun Er looked at the old man, deliberately picked up his hands and pinched his five fingers.

As soon as the old man saw Sun Shuang's power, he nodded and said, "Yes, yes, but I have to see the paperwork to be fully convinced." ’

'Okay, we'll know the truth in a few moments in the secret room. Sun Er also nodded, then looked at Wen Ruyu, the city guard, and said, "My lord, you can ask Ding Xiu, and we will let her go, lest you say that she is now held hostage by me in our hands and dare not tell the truth." ’

Sun Er said to play, the proprietress pulled the trembling Xiuxiu, walked out of the few of them, and then handed Xiuxiu over to a yacha, and then walked back to a few people.

Wen Ruyu looked at Xiuxiu, who was brought over by the yacha, and asked, "Are you Ding Xiu?"

Xiuxiu nodded.

'Is what they just said true?' Wen Ruyu asked.

After Xiuxiu heard this, she glanced up at Wen Ruyu and said, "Early this morning, my husband said that he would take me to the back mountain to worship my ancestors, but, but he took me from the front mountain directly to the back mountain halfway up the mountain, and then, Mo, Mo boss walked out, they, they said I am the person they need, and then, and then they knocked me unconscious, and when I woke up, I found that they were by my side and were fighting with Mo Qianhua. ’

When Wen Ruyu heard what Xiuxiu said, he immediately thought that Xiuxiu was not lying, but this Mo Qianhua was a well-known wealthy merchant in the city, why would he attack such a woman? This is something he can't figure out.

And just when Wen Ruyu couldn't confirm it, the old man who entrusted Mo Qianhua with everything on weekdays came to Wen Ruyu, and arched his hand and said, "My lord, there are some things, let the villain confirm it, and the truth will be revealed." ’

"Oh, how can you confirm it?" Just when Wen Ruyu was feeling a headache, this Mo Qianhua's deputy suddenly came to him and said that there was a way, of course he couldn't ask for it, he just wanted to settle this incident as soon as possible and give an explanation to the people of Xingyuan City.

Let the boy go with me to a house and we will find out if it's true or not." The old man said.

'This ......' Wen Ruyu hesitated a little after hearing this.

"My lord, a few of them don't dare to do anything, I'm a little old man, I've lived enough, if they want to take this opportunity to take me as a hostage, then there is no need for them to return with Ding Xiu." The old man looked at Wen Ruyu and said.

'Okay, let him go.' Wen Ruyu nodded in agreement after listening to the old man's words.

'Yes, Your Excellency, please come here. After the old man got Wen Ruyu's consent, he turned to look at Sun Er and said.

No, it's not me, it's her. After hearing this, Sun Er turned to the proprietress and said respectfully.

'Oh, then please come with me. The old man looked at the proprietress and said with some surprise.

Then, the proprietress and the old man were about to leave the crowd under the gaze of everyone, when suddenly Bai Xian said, "Slow, if they trick Xiao Chang into the house, what secret method is they using to control Xiao Chang, and then come back and tell us that they are fine, then what should I do!"
