Chapter 130: Tracking
This topic of the Wu family has also lasted for several months in the capital, and the wife of the Xiao family sneered at it and secretly scolded the waste. The head of the Xiao family is now critically ill, and he still insists on handing over the position of head of the family to Xiao Anyu, but unfortunately the people sent are all rejected by him. The head of the Xiao family was stimulated by this and didn't survive, and it was already a day later when Xiao Anyu learned the news, and that day Sixi drank wine with him all night, telling him over and over again that she would accompany him for the rest of her life. The next day, Xiao Anyu, who was unprecedented, did not take Si Xi to Xiao's house, but he left a few people to protect Si Xi.
When Xiao Anyu entered Xiao's house, and several black-clothed people sneaked into his house, when Xiao Da received the news to Xiao Anyu, Si Xi had been missing for a day and a night, and several people who were left to protect Si Xi were all killed.
At this time, the Xiao family was preparing for the funeral ceremony, so he couldn't leave, so he whispered to Xiao Da to check, while he paid attention to Xiao Ansheng and Xiao Anyan, and remained silent.
On the way back after the funeral, a team of men and horses suddenly came out, in addition to the female dependents, many men were injured, after the chaos, Xiao Ansheng and Xiao Anyan disappeared, Xiao Anyu grabbed a horse and chased it. After reporting to the official, the three of them have not been found out, Mrs. Xiao washes her face with tears every day, but unfortunately after the death of the head of the Xiao family, Mrs. Xiao can't move the connections that the old family owner has saved, and now she can only hope that the next person can bring good news to the yamen.
In an ordinary farmhouse on the outskirts of the capital, there is a secret door in the room, and after entering the secret door, a staircase extends down, and below is a relatively large dark room, and there is a row of torture instruments on both sides that make people's scalp numb. And there are two men tied in the middle, whose bodies have been beaten to the ground, these two are Xiao Ansheng and Xiao Anyan, who disappeared in the chaos.
Xiao Anyu sat lazily on the chair next to him, watching the torture on them, "Don't you want to say it yet?" ”
"Xiao Anyu, you still have the leisure to torture us here, don't say we don't know, even if we do, we won't tell you. Seeing your forced smile, I also think it's worth it, hahaha" Xiao Anyan spit out the blood foam in his mouth and said viciously. And Xiao Ansheng on the side lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.
Xiao Anyu was not angry, and ordered lightly: "Torture." Although he was anxious in his heart, he couldn't sleep all night, as soon as he closed his eyes, Si Xi's mind was scared and tearful, she had never left him for so long, he knew that he was her heaven, and only with him would she feel at ease. Last time, because of negligence, Wu Yuhan took advantage of the loophole and almost hurt her, and she was still a little frightened when she slept at night, and she had to hold his hand to fall asleep. And this time, he was worried that she would be hurt in the Xiao family, so he ruthlessly left her behind, but it turned out that she suffered more damage. He didn't know where she was now, if she was hurt, if she was bullied, and he couldn't resist the urge to kill at the thought of what might happen to her.
Xiao Anyan didn't care about what he said, the more this situation the better, the better to calm down, the capital was not peaceful, he knew that there might be retaliation when he contacted the county king, but the news from the county king was no abnormal, and Xiao Da's feedback was also non-abnormal. So if he can quietly take away Si Xi in the capital, and solve those few secret guards with one sword, he can count them, and his strength is not as good as others, so he must wait now.
After watching for a moment, Xiao Anyu was about to get up, but Xiao Ansheng stopped him, "Second brother, wait..."
Xiao Anyu looked at him for a while, he was embarrassed, and there were whip marks and blood stains on his face, but his eyes revealed anxiety and calculation.
"Bring him up."
Seeing this scene, Xiao Anyan was angry and angry, panting and laughing: "You want to save her, it's a dream!" Xiao Ansheng, since you have done it, there is no turning back, and now I regret that you can't bear the consequences! A woman only, are you worthy, are you worthy, ah! ”
Xiao Ansheng's face was hideous, and he paused and followed Xiao Anyu out.
It is said that Sixi's previous nurse came all the way to the capital when she was sure that Sixi was not worried about her life, but she did not enter the city, but lived incognito in a small village outside the city. The people in the village call her Sister-in-law Liu, and she usually does some sewing and mending work, and her life is poor and plain. In the past few days, some servants and maids have come to the village, there is a Zhuangzi outside their village, usually nothing, it is estimated that the female dependents of a certain dignitary will come to live for a few days. So the maid came to clean up first, and Sister-in-law Liu also took some pulp washing work, and after some days I heard that there was indeed a female dependent in Zhuangzi, who was born as beautiful as a flower, and even an old woman felt gorgeous and moving when she saw it, not to mention that the man couldn't walk or something like that.
Sister-in-law Liu folded the washed clothes neatly, and then sent them to the family, and when she returned the clothes, she happened to meet two little maids biting their ears and whispering:
"You said that young lady was so beautiful, why did you give her sleeping medicine."
"It seems that I am afraid that she will run away, and I will find some brother when I wake up before."
"God is still fair, we were not beautiful but not stupid, although she is beautiful, she is stupid, and now she may be even more stupid after taking medicine."
"But isn't it, I can't imagine how a fool could provoke right and wrong, or else be treated like this."
……
Sister-in-law Liu looked back at this Zhuangzi and went back.
At night, a thin figure shuttled and jumped on the tree in the Zhuangzi, maybe the owner of the Zhuangzi was more relieved because of the medicine, there were no other secret guards or anything like that, only some kung fu guards who knew how to punch and kick, this figure avoided the patrol place, and carefully checked the situation in each room.
There is a room in the inner courtyard, exquisitely furnished, at first glance it is the bedroom of a noble girl, and there is a woman lying on the carved bed, her eyes closed and she is asleep, which is the Sixi that Xiao Anyu is looking for.
There are still two maids guarding the room, even if the person is in a coma, there are two little maids keeping vigil in the courtyard outside the door. Judging from this situation, it is a matter of time before secret guards are arranged around this room, and if they want to take Si Xi away, they can only now, otherwise they will not be able to leave if there are too many people.
Sister-in-law Liu lay motionless on the roof, her eyes were glued to the situation in the house, and in the early hours of the morning, the two maids in the house fell asleep one after another, and the little maids in the yard had already fallen asleep. Sister-in-law Liu came to the courtyard lightly and ordered their sleeping holes, carried one of the maids into the room, and quickly clicked the sleeping holes of the two people in the house, and put her on the bed after swapping the clothes of the maid and Sixi.
And she picked up Si Xi and headed towards the back door of the kitchen. All the way back to her residence, she warmed up the medicine that had been boiled in the evening and poured it into Sixi. Then with the medicinal mud, Si Xi's whole body, including her face, was coated with a thick layer, and then she waited on the side to look at her lovingly.
In the wee hours of the morning, Si Xi woke up and was about to rub his eyes, when he heard a soft shout, "Don't move!" ”
Si Xi followed the sound and looked, and when she saw Sister-in-law Liu, her eyes became bright, and she was about to get up and hug Sister-in-law Liu, but she stopped her, Si Xi knelt on the bed, "A-Niang, A-Niang, I miss you so much, A-Niang, you haven't come to see me for so long, A-Niang, A-Niang......"
"Silly boy, A-Niang is here." Sister-in-law Liu couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes when she heard Sixi call her A-Niang, she brought up this child with one hand, and she called her A-Niang since she was a child, although she hadn't seen her for more than a year, she felt like she hadn't seen her in her life.
"A-Niang, someone is bullying me, I'm afraid, Brother Yu is not at home, can you take me to Brother Yu, A-Niang." Instinctively seeing his mother, Si Xi was not afraid, and began to be coquettish.
"Good, Xi'er, let's go take a shower first, you see you're dirty." Sister-in-law Liu wiped her tears, took Sixi's hand and told her.
After washing, Si Xi looked at his black arms, and wondered, it was all white, how is it black now, and he asked unconsciously. In fact, it's not black, it's just wheat, of course, it's much darker than her original skin color.
Sister-in-law Liu touched Sixi's head lovingly and said with a smile: "Xi'er has always been the most beautiful, and it will slowly turn white." Looking at her clear eyes, she made a decision in her heart, and her expression couldn't help but become serious, "Xi'er, listen to A-Niang's words, stay in the house obediently tomorrow, don't let people find out, A-Niang will take you to find Brother Yu after arranging it, okay?" Si Xi nodded obediently.
"Come, talk to A-Niang, how are you doing for more than a year, is your brother Yu good to you?"
"Well, Auntie, Brother Yu is good to me, buy me delicious food, and beautiful dresses, and the most important thing is to accompany me every day, but unfortunately he didn't take me when he went out that time, I was a little sad." From the excitement at the beginning to the depression later, Sister-in-law Liu was also distressed when she saw it, when did the little girl she spoil become so easy to be sad, it must be the fault of Xiao Anyu's poor care. Later, I knew that the two were still sleeping together, and I was even more angry, and my baby who bullied her was young and ignorant, although it was impossible to kill and vent his anger, but it was okay to teach a lesson.
So they originally planned to go into the city, but they changed their routes, and as long as Sixi said what they wanted to eat or see, they would temporarily change directions.
When Xiao Anyu brought people to this Zhuangzi, all the people in this Zhuangzi had been evacuated for a day, of course, Si Xi did not know his whereabouts, according to the people in the nearby village, there were indeed nobles who came to live before, and then they suddenly went back without knowing anything. The news that Xiao Dashun brought back was that Sixi was taken away quietly, and they didn't find out who did it.
All the clues were cut off like this, Xiao Anyu spit out a mouthful of blood anxiously, and his head turned white overnight, he hated his carelessness, mocked his arrogance after returning to Beijing, and lost his treasure. All the plans were advanced, and all the evidence collected over the years was given to the county king, and the county king and the prime minister officially began a nearly ten-year struggle in the court.
The Xiao family was also half-crippled because of Xiao Ansheng and Xiao Anyan's abolished martial arts, and they couldn't set off the slightest storm, Mrs. Xiao calculated for so many years just for the position of the head of the family, Xiao Ansheng was finally occupied by the uncle of the side branch because of the disabled head of the family, she couldn't stand the blow and went crazy, and the Xiao family also completely declined.
