Chapter 262 Kidnapping

Worshipping the Earth God? So, it turns out he came alone. The group of men all breathed a sigh of relief.

They couldn't let him go, so the leader called his men to quickly tie up Bai Cha and throw him to the other side of Jiang Baozhu.

"What are you trying to do in broad daylight?"

Bai Cha took two steps back and sat down on the ground with a thud, her voice timid.

At this point, she had to pretend to be scared to lower the other party's guard.

Although it's unclear how Jiang Baozhu was captured by this group, she is currently in danger.

“Girl, there’s usually no one here. You’ve come at the wrong time of day, so it’s just bad luck that you have to come now.”

The man in the lead sneered, and since he didn't have the white tea on him, he didn't search him.

What do you mean by that?

Bai Cha glanced at Jiang Baozhu with trembling eyes, then said, "Are you trying to force me?"

"No, it's deadly."

Originally, the group had no intention of killing Bai Cha, but after considering it, they realized that since they had been caught and their faces had been seen, they would face endless trouble in the future.

Fine, might as well go all the way. It's just that this girl is unlucky to have run into this mess; it's her fate.

"And... what about me?"

Bai Cha's eyes were red and swollen, and she burst into tears. She pretended to be very scared, just hoping that time would pass quickly.

"Let's die together. You're just unlucky."

The leader of the men, not wanting to waste any more time on words, decided to force Jiang Baozhu to submit.

"No, please don't!"

Jiang Baozhu shook her head desperately, crying, "Your target is me, and you've taken the money. Kill me if you want, at least there's something to gain. But why drag innocent, unrelated people into this?"

She's become smarter and knows how to deal with a group of people.

“If we kill you and she sees it, we have to kill her to silence her.”

The leader was getting impatient. He wanted to finish this quickly, because if any more fools came in, they would only kill more and more people.

Although their original intention was for money, they did not want to harm too many innocent lives.

"Xiao Si, go out and take a look around. Is there anyone here?"

The leader was worried that someone might have followed Bai Cha, so he sent one of his men, Xiao Si, out to scout.

Bai Cha's heart skipped a beat. What if her young mistress and Longjing hadn't gone far and were seen by these people...?

She was anxious, but dared not say anything, lest she reveal her true intentions.

Xiao Si went out to investigate but didn't find a single person. He returned and shook his head at the man in the lead.

I knew it! Everyone's taking a midday nap, who would want to be uncomfortable in a place like this?

Although the two were some distance apart, Jiang Baozhu carefully observed Bai Cha's expression and saw that Bai Cha seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, so she was certain that Lin Yuesha had also come along, but had not been discovered by the group.

That's right. With brains like these scumbags', they can only fool her; they're no match for Lin Yuesha at all.

Behind the mound of earth, Lin Yuesha pulled Longjing to hide. Only after everyone had gone inside did she peek out.

"Longjing, let's hurry and report to the authorities."

There was a large market in the north of the city, where several yamen runners and constables were maintaining order. The master and servant didn't have time to go to the yamen, so they could only notify the constables to come and arrest people.

"Miss, the white tea hasn't been in for even a quarter of an hour yet."

Longjing looked completely innocent, leaving Lin Yuesha speechless.

If Bai Cha wasn't in trouble, how could a man have walked out of the dilapidated temple? The man looked around warily, clearly looking for Bai Cha's accomplices.

Thankfully, she reacted quickly and hid with Longjing.

Lin Yuesha speculated that both Jiang Baozhu and Bai Cha were now in trouble.

Report to the authorities immediately, because any delay could lead to unforeseen consequences.

Lin Yuesha had no choice but to drag Longjing to the market to find a constable because he was unreliable.

Explaining the reason would take too much time, so Lin Yuesha simply stuffed some silver into her hand and asked the constable to accompany her without saying anything more.

The constables received the silver without objection and followed closely behind Lin Yuesha.

Inside the dilapidated temple, the leader of the men once again picked up the bowl and forced Jiang Baozhu to drink the poison. This time, nothing Bai Cha said could change her mind.

"Drink this bowl of medicine, and don't blame us brothers when you go down. We also have families to support, and this was a last resort."

After the man in the lead finished speaking, he tried to force-feed the medicine.

In that instant, Bai Cha cut the rope with her dagger, rushed over with the dagger, and startled the men around her.

To their utter surprise, the girl who arrived later had brought her own weapons, and the group immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Release Miss Jiang!"

Since she couldn't escape anyway, Bai Cha decided to reveal her identity, brandishing her dagger and standing in front of Jiang Baozhu. Although she was no match for these men, she couldn't give up; she could buy herself some time.

"Miss Jiang, don't worry, our young lady has already reported it to the authorities."

Bai Cha glanced at the group of tall, burly men, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips.

What? They reported it to the authorities?

Xiao Si had just gone out and didn't see anyone there. He guessed that this little vixen was talking nonsense, and they didn't believe her!

"Officer, my good sister and maid are inside! They've been arrested!"

Footsteps came from the entrance of the dilapidated temple, somewhat disordered, clearly not from one person.

The men looked at each other, their eyes revealing fear.

Damn it, someone actually reported it to the authorities; they've been tricked!

The dilapidated temple had only one exit, and the rest were blocked, so they couldn't escape now.

At the critical moment, the leader grabbed Bai Cha, snatched the dagger, and held it directly to Bai Cha's neck.

Lin Yuesha entered just in time to witness this scene, and she exclaimed, "Bai Cha, be careful!"

However, it was too late. Bai Cha had relaxed her guard slightly because of the arrival of the officials, and the man had found an opportunity.

Several men held Bai Cha hostage and retreated to a corner.

Jiang Baozhu got up from the ground and saw Lin Yuesha, her eyes immediately reddening.

She had said before that she was a nuisance, always causing trouble for others, and this time she had brought disaster upon Lin Yuesha's maid.

Clearly, she's the one who deserves to die.

"Sister Yue Sha, I was so stupid."

Jiang Baozhu stood beside Lin Yuesha and briefly explained why she had come.

Concern can cloud judgment. Zhang Jing was captured by the barbarians because of her, and she thought that if Zhang Jing were in trouble, she would be willing to help him with everything she had, even if the two of them were not destined to be together.

Therefore, Jiang Baozhu had no suspicion when the little beggar came to deliver the message.

You mean Zhao Sanniang?

Lin Yuesha was also surprised. She hadn't expected that the person behind the scenes would be the seemingly kind Zhao Sanniang. No wonder Jiang Baozhu was deceived. If it were her, she couldn't guarantee she would be able to see through it.

After all, Zhao San Niang was already a servant of the Jiang family.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!"

Several men hid in a corner in fear, holding Bai Cha hostage, trying to negotiate with the constables.
