Wanruo was caught off guard and pushed to the open space, almost bumping into the dragon dance team.
But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. The crowd began to squeeze, the dragon dancing team was dispersed, and the fire dragon fell to the ground.
Wanruo was about to get up from the ground and hide, but someone suddenly covered her mouth and nose from behind.
Her pupils suddenly contracted. It was the drug!
She immediately held her breath, pulled out the silver needle she carried at her waist, and stabbed it hard into the back of the man's hand. The strong man behind her let go of his hand in pain, and she slipped out from under his arm like a loach.
But what I didn’t expect was that there was more than one person!
She was wearing conspicuous clothes, and the gangsters seemed to be targeting her. At least three men rushed over to grab her.
Su Yue had been separated from the crowd. She looked around and saw strangers everywhere. She immediately hid in the bustling crowd. The group of horse bandits had no intention of letting her go and squeezed into the crowd to surround her.
Wanruo turned around suddenly and found that a horse bandit had grabbed Xie Xiuzhu in the depths of the crowd. She struggled desperately and reached out for help, but the man immediately covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
After a while, she lost consciousness and was carried on the shoulders of the horse bandit and jumped onto the dusty carriage that had been waiting in the alley next to her.
Wanruo's face turned pale and she paused as she tried to move.
She and Xie Xiuzhu had nothing in common, so she didn't need to care about her. But when she looked at her just now, the terrified look in her eyes that was asking for help made her feel a pang in her heart.
What would be the fate of being dragged along by these bandits? Rape and then murder? Or would the family have to pay a large sum of money to redeem her? In that case, she would inevitably be abused.
For a pampered noble lady, such an end is worse than death.
What if she could save her? The eldest lady would then owe her a huge favor, and she might have bargaining chips. Maybe, maybe her life would turn around...
The thought flashed through her mind, and she made a decision.
She immediately pulled a pill from her sleeve and swallowed it, then stumbled and fell to the ground. The bandits behind her immediately pushed through the crowd and chased after her: "Here's another one!"
"Let's do it together! Today's deal is worth a lot of money, we must handle it cleanly, even if it means killing someone by mistake!"
Wan Ruo was about to be caught, and then the bandits used the same method to cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief soaked in sleeping pills. She struggled twice and fainted.
The horse bandit immediately carried her on his shoulders, ran into the alley, and threw her into the gray carriage together with Xie Xiuzhu.
Then he took advantage of the chaos in the crowd and drove away in his carriage.
The carriage was small, and only one horse bandit was left inside to watch them, while the other two horse bandits were driving the carriage outside. Several others scattered and disappeared into the crowd, their movements quick and experienced.
Mingxiang Teahouse.
Qing'an hurried back and said, "My dear, I sent someone back to the mansion saying that my cousin hasn't returned yet! I went to the herbal medicine shop that my cousin often goes to, but I couldn't find her either."
Xie Xianyu's expression suddenly changed, and countless possibilities appeared in his mind.
Suddenly, I saw a commotion among the crowd downstairs, and someone shouted, "There are bandits on the other side of East Street!"
Xie Xianyu's heart skipped a beat and he immediately rushed out.
But when he rushed to East Street against the flow of people, there was no trace of the bandits except a chaotic scene.
He had a bad feeling in his heart and shouted sternly, "Go to the City Defense Department immediately and have them seal the city gates and search the entire city."
"yes!"
