The old housekeeper frowned deeply and said, "It's the Northwest Iron Mine." ”

"Northwest Iron Mine!" Mr. Qi really wanted to strangle the Li family's father and son, and actually sold people to the Northwest Iron Mine.

There are many official mines in Dachu, they have a Jianghuai copper mine and Jianghuai iron mine, and there is a Jiangnan silver mine in the south of the Yangtze River across the water, all of which need to be mined by manpower.

Originally, I thought that the Li family and his son would sell Li Duofu and his son to the nearest Jianghuai iron mine. Unexpectedly, he actually sold people to the farthest northwest iron mine, which is not to toss people to death.

"How many days have you been selling?" Mr. Qi asked with hope.

The old housekeeper said, "It was sold earlier than the mother and daughter, and today is the fifth day." ”

Five days!

Mr. Qi felt that his head was dizzy, it had been five days, if he chased it, when would he be able to catch up?

And when you enter the official mine, you have to go to the government office to register in the register, and it is very troublesome to get people out again. Not only does it have to rely on relationships, but it also costs a lot of money, and a person who originally bought it for two taels of silver, if he wants to come out again, he has to ask for at least fifty taels. Coupled with the removal of the name and the change of the booklet, there is no one hundred taels of silver that cannot be paid.

Two of them is two hundred taels.

But now it's not a matter of silver, you have to hurry up and chase people back.

"Old housekeeper, you quickly take someone to the Jiang Mansion on Le'an Street in the north, tell the Gu family the whereabouts of Li Duofu's father and son, and let them wait outside the Fucheng Yamen, I will go to the Fucheng Yamen and ask, who escorted them away?"

"Yes, the old slave will go." The old housekeeper said, and immediately took his subordinates out of the house and went to the Jiang Mansion on Le'an Street.

Mr. Qi said to Mrs. Chen: "Mrs. Chen, I bother you to go back and tell my mother, I want to go out for a few days, and when I come back, I will go to her old man's house to ask for guilt." ”

Old Mama Chen stood up and said, "Second Master don't worry, the old slave will definitely serve the old lady well and wait for the second master to come back." ”

After Mr. Qi finished explaining to Old Mama Chen, he looked at the father and son of the Li family, pointed at Master Li and Fourth Master Li, and sneered, but he didn't say a word.

After a while, Mr. Qi turned his head and shouted into the courtyard: "Come on, invite the Li family father and son back to the guest house, without my instructions, they are not allowed to leave the guest house for half a step!" ”

"Yes." In the courtyard, the master of the nursing home was already waiting with dozens of nursing homes, and when he heard this, he rushed into the study and twisted the hands of the Li family's father and son.

Master Li looked at the tall and bearded nurses, his feet were weak in fright, and he shouted at Mr. Qi: "Qi Er, you are under house arrest, you are just a showman, and you are not an official in the yamen, why are you under house arrest?" Quick release...... Hmmm! ”

The Qi family's nurses moved quickly, stuffing a ball of cotton cloth into Master Li's mouth, and he was immediately speechless.

Li Siye originally wanted to call, but when he saw his father being gagged, he was immediately too frightened to speak, and was tied up with a rope by the nursing home after a few clicks.

Li Sanye is smarter and knows that the Li family has been defeated, and the only person he can rely on now is the Qi family.

And his father and fourth brother offended the Qi family, he must draw a clear line with them, and after this matter passes, he will take care of the Qi family and let the Qi family help him seize the Li family's property and be the head of the Li family.

Soon, the nurses escorted the Li family father and son back to the guest house.

Mr. Qi took his eldest brother's post, his own private seal, silver tickets, two bags of broken silver, and then took four people, left the study, boarded the prepared carriage, and ran all the way to the He'an Mansion.

……

To the north, in the Jiang Mansion on Le'an Street, the old housekeeper of the Qi Mansion had already come to the Jiang Mansion and told Gu Dashan the whereabouts of Li Duofu's father and son.

"The second master of our family has rushed to the Yamen of Fucheng to inquire about the situation of Li Duofu and his son, and asked the old slave to tell you, and quickly sent someone to wait outside the Yamen of Fucheng, and after the second master asked the exact whereabouts of Li Duofu and his son, everyone chased all the way."

Gu Dashan was very excited, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's go to the Fucheng Yamen." ”

But where is the yamen of this city?

How many people do they want to go?

If he goes to find Li Duofu and Li Daxi, what will the big girl do with Shuangxi?

Gu Dashan was happy and flustered, his brain was dizzy, and he didn't have a clue.

Gu Jinli saw that he had been wandering around, and he couldn't speak when he wanted to, so he hurriedly grabbed his hand and said to him: "Dad, don't worry, you take Little Brother Qin, Uncle Wang and Old Uncle Zhu's father and son together, with Little Brother Qin here, it's okay." ”

The third grandfather is old, Li Duofu and his son were sold to the Northwest Iron Mine, this time, I don't know how many days and nights it will take to catch up, the third grandfather's body can't stand it, it's not good to let him follow.

As for Li Anzi, he should stay and take care of the eldest aunt, so as not to be burdensome.

And she didn't go, let Gu Dashan go and have a good experience.

"Yes, yes, there is Saburo here." Gu Dashan looked at Qin Sanlang, this kid is not very old, but he is a capable person, it will not be a problem to take him and catch up for a few days and nights.

Gu Jinli didn't want to trouble Jiang Jiao, but now he has troubled the Jiang family enough, and it is not bad this time, and said to Jiang Jiao again: "Second Uncle Jiang, my family is going to trouble you again, please follow my father to chase people." ”

Jiang County Lieutenant has often been in and out of the Fucheng Yamen in the past few months, and Jiang Jiao often comes to Fucheng, so he should know the people in the Fucheng Yamen, and it is easier to ransom people with Jiang Jiao with him.

Jiang Jiao said with a smile: "What's the matter, don't worry, I'll take two guards and follow your father to chase them, if the escorted soldiers are acquaintances, then it's easy to talk." ”

"There's Second Uncle Lao Jiang." Gu Jinli was very happy, and after thanking Jiang Jiao, he gave Gu Dashan the silver ticket on his body: "Dad, you want money to ransom people, you bring the silver ticket." ”

"Okay, I'll take it, you take good care of your aunt and cousin here, and wait for your father to come back." Gu Dashan put away the silver ticket and wanted to go to the guest room to talk to the eldest girl's mother and daughter, but he was afraid of delaying time, so he could only say to Gu Jinli: "After returning to the guest room, tell your aunt that your uncle and second cousin have been found, and your father is going to ransom people, so that they can rest assured." ”

"Okay, I'll tell them, you can go quickly." Gu Jinli urged.

"We're leaving." Gu Dashan couldn't wait, so he called Wang Yongfu and them, and the group left together.

The two guards of Jiang Jiao's family had already prepared dry food and water, drove the carriage out, waited at the door, and after they got into the carriage, they immediately ran towards the yamen of the city.

Mr. Qi had already asked about the whereabouts of Li Duofu's father and son, and was waiting for them at the gate of the Fucheng Yamen, when he saw the carriage of the Jiang family, he didn't wait for them to get off, and immediately said: "Don't get out of the car, the people only left this morning, and now they have gone to Zhongzhou, let's hurry up and get in the car to chase!" ”

After saying this, Mr. Qi also ran into his own carriage, a group of three carriages, ran out of the city gate, and chased in the direction of Zhongzhou.

They chased for an afternoon, plus a night, and finally caught up with the team escorting Zhuang Ding to the Northwest Iron Mine at midnight the next morning.
