Chapter 31: Stop the carriage
The face of the money shopkeeper who ate the closed door soup was average, although it was not ugly, it was also a little depressed.
Seeing that his shopkeeper had returned in vain, the little servant came up and asked in a low voice with some anxiety.
"Shopkeeper, what should we do next?"
"Do you want to report to the police or pretend you don't know?"
Concerning two lives, the Xiao family obviously hasn't seen those two girls now.
If they go to report to the official, they will inevitably have to interrogate and question, and maybe they will have to suspend Qingfeng Building for a few days.
"Naturally, go and report to the official quickly!"
Although the money shopkeeper woke up to the money, in his heart, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith were still steady, glaring at the little guy and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
"I just hope it's all in time."
In fact, the two of them have reacted very quickly from finding out that something was wrong, and now they are only delayed for about an hour when they go to the county government office, but they don't know where the gangster took the two girls and what they planned to do after that.
With an idea, the little guy trotted in the direction of the county government with the money in his hands.
As soon as he ran a few steps, there was a loud creak at the gate of the Xiao Mansion behind him.
The two of them turned back together, only to see the closed door suddenly open completely, and a small figure stepped out of it.
Under the lantern hanging high at the door of the house, a little girl of about five years old walked out slowly, and the two small pinchs on her head flicked in the air, which was very cute.
She followed the small porter just now, looking anxiously in the direction of the money shopkeeper.
"Wait, two!"
Seeing that the shopkeeper and the little maid had not gone far, the little porter called anxiously, "My little lady has something to say to the two of you." ”
Looking at the little girl who was not yet tall, the money shopkeeper was a little hesitant to turn back, after all, this young lady was too young, and she might not be able to understand so many things when she told her.
But there is no second way in front of him except to go to the government.
Xiao Fu didn't know why he asked this little lady to come out to ask, which really made the second monk of the money shopkeeper puzzled.
After hesitating, he turned around and quickly returned to Su Qingtian, shaking his hands.
"Down there is the money shopkeeper of Qingfeng Building, he is the little guy in my store."
At this time, two more family members came out with lanterns, and the gate of Xiaofu was illuminated by the lights for a while.
Su Qingtian looked the money shopkeeper up and down, the man was in his thirties and of medium stature, with a hint of sternness all over his body, but there was a kindness between his frowning brows.
"The money shopkeeper came to my Xiao Mansion late at night to ask about the two girls in your shop."
Lord Su Qingtian put his hands behind his back as if he was there, and said casually in a godly tone.
The shopkeeper didn't hear about the little lady of Xiao Mansion, and mistakenly thought that the porter had informed the other party of his previous words.
He hurriedly asked, "That's true, I wonder if those two girls are guests in the Xiao Mansion?" ”
"After all, it's a guest in my shop, please give a word to the little lady, and I'll go back to explain to their families."
The small concierge on the side was a little anxious.
He pursed his lips, thinking to himself how many times he would have to say this inexplicable nonsense before he stopped!
Because the little lady was beside him, he didn't dare to scold.
"You've guessed right, those two girls are indeed not in my Xiao Mansion."
Before the shopkeeper could speak, Su Qingtian opened the door and said, "It is true that someone pretended to be a soldier of the Xiao Mansion and took them away in the name of my Xiao Mansion." ”
"They're about to take people out of town, and it's too late to go after them."
Su Qingtian did know that Zhou Jingwan had come to find her, but she slept until now due to lack of physical strength.
After waking up, he was drinking lotus seed soup to warm his belly, and the catastrophe of Zhou Jingwan and the maid immediately appeared in front of him.
She had no choice but to put down the remaining mouthful of lotus seed soup and hurried out.
"You go to the palace and inform the soldiers who patrol the night to follow me to the city gate to rob people."
After Su Qingtian finished speaking to the small gatehouse, she turned to look at the little guy in Qingfeng Building.
"You go to the yamen to report the case, 1510 make it clear, and at the same time inform them about our going to the city gate."
"Money Shopkeeper."
The man looked at the little girl's clear arrangement a little blankly, and suddenly was called to respond immediately with a conditioned reflex, "Here!" ”
"You come with me."
Before the man could understand, Su Qingtian had already walked in the direction of the city gate.
The small steps were fast and backwards, as if trying to go faster.
Seeing the little girl walking alone in the night, the money shopkeeper hurriedly chased after her in three steps and two steps.
The little porter and the little servant who were left behind were still digesting Su Qingtian's order, and the two glanced at each other and set off separately towards their respective mission points.
The little porter ran wildly all the way, and as soon as he reached the backyard, he met the night patrol team.
"Brother Chen!"
The little porter gasped and looked at the captain Nie Chen, "Hurry up!" The little lady went out of the house and headed for the city gate, you should quickly lead someone to chase after you. ”
As he spoke, he pointed vigorously in the direction of the gate.
Nie Chen frowned, and without waiting for the little porter to explain too much, he immediately took his team of brothers out of the house and rushed towards Su Qingtian on the other side of the road.
The little lady is the treasure on the tip of General Xiao's heart, and Nie Chen, as the captain of the government soldiers, naturally knows that he also understands that his little miss is different from other little babies, and has some special bodies.
The little porter didn't say why the little lady left the house in the middle of the night, but the most important thing for Nie Chen was to ensure the safety of the little lady, and finding talents first was the key.
Soon, a team of people caught up with Su Qingtian and Shopkeeper Qian at the entrance of East Street in Dongfang City
Nie Chen blocked the way of the two, and his vigilant eyes searched back and forth on the money shopkeeper.
"Little Miss."
Nie Chen clenched his fists and bowed his head, and said in a low voice, "It's getting late, and the night is heavy, so please come back with us to rest early." ”
Hearing Nie Chen's words of dissuasion, Su Qingtian knew that the little porter had not informed him about tonight's events.
But she had always been too lazy to talk nonsense, and she pointed to a carriage walking slowly at the end of the street.
Su Qing said sweetly, "Stop that carriage, they pretend to be Xiao Mansion to do something wrong!" ”
The little lady's words shocked Nie Chen's heart, and he got up and looked at the carriage in the dark.
It seems to be the frame of the house, but no one is out in the car tonight.
Whether it's true or not, pretending to be the Xiao family to do evil is extraordinary, and Nie Chen directly ordered.
"Stop the carriage!"
With an order, the soldiers behind him quickly chased after the carriage in front.
The carriage, for some unknown reason, did not speed down the open road, but drove unhurriedly out of the city.
The soldiers surrounded it and forced the carriage to stop.
When Nie Chen approached the carriage with the little lady in his arms, he was immediately shocked by the frame in front of him that was exactly the same as his own.
Half an hour ago, Nie Chen also personally counted the stables to make sure that no one went out.
The groom also rested early, and the horses were safe and sound in the stable.
It seems that as the little lady said, the frame in front of her was deliberately out of the Xiao Mansion.
