Chapter 680: Weird
"Elopement, this?" Tianquan was greatly surprised when he heard this, he really didn't expect that it would be such a thing.
After a short sigh, the head of the family said: "Miss is young and ignorant, must have been deceived by the thief, the day before yesterday Miss went to the temple outside the city to burn incense and pray for blessings, but the old man waited at home for most of the day and did not see her come back, I only knew...... Alas, what a wickedness. ”
In the butler's next account, Tianquan learns that the eldest lady of the Xu family disappeared after praying for blessings, and some people say that they saw her get into a man's carriage and have since disappeared.
Xu Manqing was furious when he learned about this, and immediately sent the masters of the rivers and lakes on Zhuangzi to search for the traces of the eldest lady of the Xu family along the way, but they chased dozens of miles along the road and did not find any useful clues.
To this day, the whereabouts of the eldest lady of the Xu family are still unknown, and Xu Manqing has been furious because of this matter in the past two days, and they are also terrified.
After hearing this, Tianquan was silent for a long time, and could only say apologetically: "I came from the north on this trip, but I don't have a clue, I'm sorry." ”
The housekeeper hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Why should the young man be like this, this has nothing to do with you......"
The two talked a little more, and Tianquan saw that the housekeeper was anxious, so he didn't stop him from doing things, hurriedly ended the topic, and let the other party leave.
At the end, the housekeeper solemnly reminded Tianquan that he must not mention this matter in front of Xu Manqing, so as not to touch the sad place of the other party, and Tianquan agreed repeatedly.
After watching the housekeeper leave quickly, Tianquan took two steps, but suddenly turned back and glanced at the butler's back, his eyes moved slightly, as if he was thoughtful.
There was nothing to do all night, and the next day Tianquan was still staying in Zhuangzi, and he was also invited to have dinner with Xu Manqing.
Xu Manqing is not happy with alcohol, and he has the smell of alcohol all the year round, it is said that the more the alcohol is up, the more things and emotions in his heart cannot be hidden, but Tianquan found that Xu Manqing is optimistic, and he is not worried about anything at all because of the loss of his daughter.
After eating a meal, Tianquan felt more and more that something was wrong, when he saw Xu Manqing yesterday, the other party was also like this, if it was said that this person was very deep, it would be fine if he was angry and angry, but yesterday he heard the other party scolding his subordinates angrily.
Obviously, although Xu Manqing is not like a young boy and will not put everything on his face, he should not be able to hide it completely in his heart and show no trace at all.
But the housekeeper had warned Tianquan not to mention it in front of Xu Manqing, so he never spoke.
After all, it was very rude to listen to other people's family affairs in private, and if he interfered more, he was afraid that it would cause Xu Manqing's displeasure, so even though he was suspicious, Tianquan still couldn't help but ask.
The days passed without incident, and three days passed without incident.
Tianquan felt that it was not a problem to hide like this, so he planned to go to a nearby town to find out some information, and coincidentally, this time he met the housekeeper who was in a hurry.
The housekeeper saw that Tianquan wanted to go out, so he privately asked Tianquan to pay more attention to whether there was any news about the eldest lady of the Xu family when he went to the town.
At the same time, he also repeatedly warned the other party that this matter was a scandal of the Xu family and should not be spread outside, so when Tianquan inquired about the news, he must be more careful and not exposed.
Tianquan received the kindness of the Xu family, so he naturally would not refuse at this time, so he went on the road with his own purpose and the housekeeper's request.
In the town, Tianquan does not have much harvest, monks and Taoists are not uncommon everywhere in the world, unless it is a bearded monk with obvious characteristics like Huxian Lou Amu, otherwise others will not take it to heart at all.
After making a big circle around the town, Tianquan still found nothing, but just as he was about to give up and go back to Xujiazhuang, he suddenly learned a lot of important information from a beggar on the street.
】
"Girl? Yesterday morning, when I went out, I did see a carriage with a girl leaving town, but I don't know anything else. The beggar said.
"Yesterday?" Tianquan frowned, this was a little far from the information he knew, according to the time, Miss Xu had been missing for four or five days.
However, he also understood the truth of darkness under the lamp, and Tianquan was unwilling to let go of any clues, so he took out a few pennies and handed them to the beggar, and then asked: "Please think about it carefully, what other characteristics does that girl have?" ”
The beggar took the money and said happily: "Hehe, let me think about it, the characteristics, some of them, look at the girl dressed up seems to be from a rich family, and those people are hard-dragged...... Looking at the girl's appearance, she should be reluctant. ”
Tianquan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked the other party where he saw that the girl was taken away, and the beggar lazily pointed in the direction, and he immediately took out a few copper coins, and the other party took it with a smile and led the way diligently.
Tianquan and the beggar walked around the alley many times before they came to a dilapidated courtyard.
After the beggar took the people and left, Tianquan frowned and looked at the courtyard, looked up at the one-person high wall, he squinted his eyes slightly, and immediately mobilized his true qi to slap it out, and after blasting the door open, he turned over and jumped onto the wall.
As soon as several fierce men who heard the movement in the courtyard rushed to the door and found that there was no one, Tianquan jumped down from the wall at this time, and slapped them again, knocking several people to the ground with one face.
When several people saw his strong martial arts, they immediately changed the fierceness on their faces, and cried and begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life!" ”
Tianquan was about to question a few people, but his ears caught the crying of the woman in the room next to him, his face changed, and he immediately walked into the house, and immediately saw several women who were tied hand and foot, and their faces were extremely frightened.
He lowered his face slightly, and after returning to the courtyard first, he immediately pulled out the sword behind him, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at the necks of several people, so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed.
"Evil thief, scourge a woman from a good family, it's not a pity to die!" After Tianquan scolded, he asked in a deep voice: "Let's leave you alive for the time being, let me ask you, where was the girl of the Xu family sent by you?" ”
Fang Cai Tianquan didn't see a twenty-eight-year-old girl in the house, and listening to the beggar's words, maybe the girl who was sent away was Miss Xu.
Those few people looked up tremblingly: "Xu, the girl of the Xu family?" What Xu girl? ”
Seeing that this person seemed to dodge when he spoke, Tianquan immediately stabbed out with a sword, causing his shoulder to be blood-red, and the pain made the person roll all over the ground, and Tianquan pointed his sword at another person on the side.
The man was so frightened that his teeth trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Young man, slow down!" Yes, there is such a girl surnamed Xu, you spare me! I'll tell you her whereabouts right away! ”
Tianquan put the sword on his neck and shouted, "Say it quickly! ”
The man trembled and said the address, and when he saw that Tianquan was unmoved, he cried bitterly, swore and swore again, and poured out all the evil things he had done since he was a child, only to see the other party remove the sword in his hand.
Tianquan had no intention of letting go of these wicked people, he ordered a few people's acupoints, waited for him to rescue Miss Xu's family, and then handed them over to Xu Daxia for disposal, and then he went to the house to rescue the innocent woman who was kidnapped.
After doing all this, Tianquan came out of the courtyard, and he went to the street outside the alley, found a passerby, and asked him to help transmit the news of Miss Xu back to Xujiazhuang.
Because the housekeeper had confessed, Tianquan's way of delivering the news was to write a letter and ask the other party to bring the letter back, and he immediately chased after the place that the wicked people said.
The passer-by was also a warm-hearted person, and when he saw that Tianquan was in a hurry, he patted his chest and promised to bring the letter.
It's just that when he came to Xujiazhuang, after handing over the letter to the door, the other party opened it and looked at it, but he was confused.
After reading the letter twice, Fang Men returned the letter, and then said: "Is this brother going to the wrong family, my master only has two sons under his knees, and they are still teenagers, how can he come from?" ”
