The craftsmen in the house soon received the order, and those who had relatives outside the house went to take people to the house, and just in case, when they went out to pick up people, they sent Jinyi guards to protect them all the way.

By 1 p.m., the craftsmen who were out were basically back. Liu Jin reported to the two brothers with a heavy face that Lao Tan's only son and grandson had not returned, and the two brothers immediately decided to send someone to find them. Lao Tan also ran to the main hall, and suddenly knelt down in front of the two brothers, the tears in his eyes were very conspicuous, and he said anxiously, "The eldest young master, the second young master, the villain only has such a son, and the grandson is only 7 years old. ”

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said, "Old Tan, hurry up, these people are coming for the glass, even if they are caught, there will be no danger for the time being, your son doesn't know the whole process, it's reasonable, we have to take care of this matter, we will definitely let your son and grandson come back safely." You can just listen to what we say and do it, and now we will send someone to find it. "Lao Tan knew that Craftsman Ding hadn't come for a day, and there must have been an accident if there was no news, because Craftsman Ding and he were the first to enter Zhu's Mansion together, and they had known each other before. The Zhu Mansion recalled the craftsmen's family under the pretext that "someone wants to be unfavorable to the craftsmen's families and wants to obtain technology".

Lao Tan said, "If the young master sends someone to look for it, the villain will also go with him." Zhu Houzhao knew that he couldn't sit still if he let Lao Tan stay in the house and wait for the news, so he nodded and asked him to go together.

But said that Lao Tan's son and grandson were coming out of a bookstore, the son's name was Tan Degong, about 30 years old, his skin was relatively dark, medium height, about 1.65 meters, ordinary appearance, at this time he was carrying a few books and some pen, ink and paper, and he was smiling and caring for the child who ran to the front, "Xiaoliang, don't run, be careful of bumping into people." The child turned his head and replied with a smile as he ran, "Dad, you can't hit it, you can rest assured." ”

This child is Lao Tan's grandson, named Tan Xuliang, 7 years old this year, and is now a student of Chaoyang Academy. Chaoyang Yuan is the same as later generations, 1 year is divided into two semesters, there is a monthly exam every month, this time he took the first place in the class in the monthly exam, you must know that there are many 14,5-year-old teenagers, the old Tan family is very happy, Lao Tan and Tan Degong also have great hopes for him, and now the family also has money, in order to celebrate the first of Tan Xuliang this time, today Tan Degong specially asked for a day off to accompany the child to the bazaar to buy some pen, ink, paper and some books to reward him. There is not much intersection between the courses in Chaoyang Academy and the articles that scholars have to learn now, but there is no objection to students learning some Confucian classics, and self-cultivation is still very useful. As for the paper Chaoyang Yuan will also be distributed, but there is a quota, it is impossible to be unlimited, students in Chaoyang Yuan class writing basically use charcoal, but students are also encouraged to practice calligraphy. I've been out for most of the day today, not only bought stationery but also bought a lot of Tan Xuliang's favorite food, and now the two of them are going to Zhu's house.

Tan Xuliang was still running waiting for him to finish answering his father, and when he turned his head, he bumped into a man. Why do you know it's a man all of a sudden? Because Tan Xuliang's height is not high, it is estimated that he is just over 1 meter tall, and when he just hit someone, his forehead hit a small lump of flesh of that person. The man grabbed Tan Xuliang's arm with one hand when Tan Xuliang was about to hit him, but unfortunately he didn't take into account the inertia. Xiao Liang's body was frozen, and when he looked up, he saw a man about 40 years old looking at him with a gloomy face, and the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch a little, Xiao Liang was frightened, but he couldn't move now. Tan Degong could see clearly in the back, the person was not in front of Xiao Liang, he suddenly rushed over, and he felt that something was wrong, but he still stepped forward and bent down slightly, and bowed his hand and said, "This big brother is really sorry, the child is not optimistic and hit you all of a sudden." ”

The man was looking down at Xiao Liang, but at this time, he raised his head and looked at Tan Degong, and a stiff and frightening smile appeared on his gloomy face. Tan Degong didn't have time to think about what utensils were being held up by his waist, and he was about to turn around when he heard a cold voice say, "Don't move, do what I say, otherwise you and your son won't survive." The man facing Tan Degong hugged Xiao Liang at this time, Xiao Liang was about to struggle, before shouting, Tan Degong's body stiffened, his voice trembled a little, and he said as calmly as possible, "Xiao Liang, don't move, that uncle is known to his father." Although Xiao Liang felt that something was wrong, he still stopped struggling.

The man standing behind Tan Degong said in a low voice, "Yes, you are very good, as long as you listen to what we say and do with peace of mind, you and your son will not be in danger, if you play any tricks, let your father and son be companions." Tan Degong whispered, "If you have something to discuss, don't hurt the child." The man scolded in a low voice, "Don't be wordy, just do as I say, and now follow the people in front." Saying that, the man bumped Tan Degong with his shoulder, Tan Degong had no choice but to move his pace and follow the strange man holding his son. The man behind him was very close to him, and the weapon was always against his waist. It was now more than 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was very shining, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, and slowly Tan Degong followed the man to a carriage in a remote alley, and the man holding his son put Tan Xuliang on the carriage, and then turned back to Tan Degong and said, "Go up, be honest." Tan Degong sighed slightly, so he had to move his legs, which had been trembling since he was kidnapped, and climbed into the car, but he didn't climb up all of a sudden, and the man behind grabbed Tan Degong's belt with both hands without saying a word and threw him up. Tan Degong fell into the carriage all of a sudden, and Xiao Liang, who was already in the carriage, couldn't help but step forward and grab Tan Degong, and whispered "Dad" in fear. Tan Degong dragged his still trembling thighs forward, then hugged Xiao Liang, stuffed his head into his arms, covered Xiao Liang as much as possible with his body, and said as calmly as possible, "It's okay, there's a father, it's okay." Xiao Liang lay in his father's arms, said "um" in his mouth, and then hugged his father tightly and made no sound.

The man who threw him into the carriage said, "Go inside, Lao Tzu will come up." Tan Degong carried Xiaoliang to the innermost part of the carriage, facing the carriage in front of him, and the man who came in sat down in front of Tan Degong, staring at their father and son with cold eyes. Tan Degong pretended to be calm at this time, and Xiao Liang was like an ostrich, burying his head in his father's arms without making a sound, but his body that kept trembling slightly truly reflected the emotions in his heart.

The carriage began to move, and after a while, it ran away, and Tan Degong could see through the gap in the curtain of the carriage that the carriage was heading towards the south of the city.

At this time, Lao Tan and the two brocade guards came out through a small alley, and when they came out, it was a slightly wider street. They came out together into several groups, Lao Tan and the two brocade guards knew that their grandson and son would come to the bookstore next to the market, so they went straight here, and when they came out of the alley, they saw a horse-drawn carriage speeding by, and the three of them had to stop and wait for the carriage to pass by the roadside. At this time, a gust of wind was blowing, coupled with the rapid movement of the carriage, the curtains of the carriage were half floated up, and Lao Tan happened to see some scenes in the carriage. Tan Degong looked at the other side of the carriage, and didn't see Lao Tan and the three of them, but Lao Tan saw his strong and calm son, holding his ostrich-like grandson, and suddenly his eyes and mouth opened wide, and he was about to make a sound, and next to him, an old brocade in his 40s and almost 50 was quick and covered Lao Tan's mouth, and Lao Tan's mouth came out with a "woo" sound, while hurriedly trying to pull away Lao Jinyi's hand. The carriage had already passed a few people for more than 20 meters, and at this time Lao Jinyi said, "In that car?" Lao Tan calmed down a little at this time and nodded. Lao Jinyi took his hand down, looked at Lao Tan and said with a smile, "Don't worry, don't startle the snakes, track them and hand them over to us Jinyi Wei, as long as the person we want to find, as long as he is still in Daming, he can't escape our eyes." Maybe it was Lao Jinyi's composure that infected Lao Tan, Lao Tan just pulled his sleeves with both hands with some excitement at this time and said, "Everything is please, please." ”

Lao Jinyi patted Lao Tan's hand with his other hand, nodded and asked, "How many people are in the carriage just now?" What age and appearance are they? Lao Tan slowly told Lao Jinyi what he had just seen, and after finishing speaking, Lao Jinyi glanced at the slightly younger Jinyi Wei next to him, and the Jinyi Wei nodded and ran away. Lao Jinyi said, "Let's go back to Zhufu first and wait for news, don't worry, there will be news soon." Lao Tan thought about it, there was really nothing he could do now, so he had to nod and walk towards Zhu's mansion with Lao Jinyi.
