Chapter 161 I Kidnapped the Qian Family’s Grandson
The dock is bustling with people.
After the old man and five children got off the boat, they looked around as if Granny Liu entered the Grand View Garden.
The people around them kept turning their heads to look, and were curious about the combination of six people, pointing and talking from time to time.
Su An poked his second brother beside him and said, "They look like they are looking at monkeys."
Su Wen, "Just look at it. If you haven't even seen a monkey, the people in Changjing don't have much knowledge."
Su Wu, "What are you looking at? In my eyes, you are monkeys too!"
Bai Yu, "That's enough, stop being so petty."
The four boys attracted a lot of hatred on their own.
Du Bujin walked quickly with Tianbao on his back, and shouted to the monkeys around him, "We are not in the same group as them!"
Outside the dock where people are crowded and goods are piled up, there are small shops on both sides of the road.
There are teahouses, wine shops and restaurants.
The old man and five children picked the shop they liked the most and sat down. Immediately, a waiter came up to them with a towel draped over his shoulder and a big smile on his face. "What would you like to eat, gentlemen?"
Poison is not a problem. "Good food and good wine!"
Bai Yu sat down and smiled at the waiter. "Waiter, we're new to Changjing and don't know anything about what's going on here. Is there anything happening in the city worth discussing?"
He quietly handed a piece of change to the shop assistant.
The waiter hid the silver in his sleeves, a smile plastered across his face as he quickly glanced around. "My dear guests, if you're going into the city, you'd better be very careful. Changjing is the imperial capital, and the streets are full of dignitaries. We ordinary people can't afford to offend any of them. Especially the most prominent ones. If you see them, you must avoid them as soon as possible."
Soon the group learned from the waiter which the most prominent families were, Cui, Gan, Zhang, and Feng, and the Queen's Cui family was one of them.
The Gan family is the most prominent.
The Cui family is the one that cannot be offended.
"Also, things have been going on in the city lately. Imperial edicts have been posted all over town seeking to arrest high-ranking officials, and the Cui family is also under strain... I heard the Fifth Master of the Cui family went out and never returned. I'm afraid he's in grave danger, and even the Empress has been alarmed! In short, be careful when entering the city and don't cause any trouble!"
The waiter said a few words in a hurry and went to the kitchen. Even though he took the money to speak, he didn't dare to speak too bluntly.
Just mentioning the Emperor and the Empress is enough to make me tremble with fear.
It’s hard to make money these days.
As soon as the waiter left, the four members of the Su family all looked at Bai Yu as if they were looking at something rare.
We are all kids, why are you the best at talking?
Du Buqun stroked his chin with a sullen expression, "Well, they are so prominent, the Four Great Families of the Imperial City, I must go and see them!"
Tianbao immediately said, "Stealing?"
"What's the point of stealing? We're not thieves!" Du Buqin taught the kid, "It's just that you haven't seen how glorious the most prominent ones are. Go and see! And grab something to keep yourself safe!"
"Okay, now that we've saved someone, let's go see what's going on."
Only after the old man had eaten his fill did the bearded man come back from outside, sweating profusely.
I couldn't see his face clearly, but his eyes looked heavy.
"Let's go to Shitang Village." This was all he said after entering the door.
Without saying a word, several people stood up and followed him.
After leaving the dock, Du Buwei asked, "Is the situation bad?"
The bearded man hummed, speaking rather quickly. "Shitang Village is a small village with a modest population. It's easy to count how many people live in a village. My people checked, and Broken Blade has never been seen in that village. No strangers have come to Shitang Village in the past three years."
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and cursed, "That old fellow from the Qian family is so tight-lipped. No matter how I ask him, he refuses to reveal a single word. He's really just playing dumb and causing trouble for me! Fuck him!"
I feel upset, and the bearded man keeps talking about his mother.
Being forced to go along with the crowd is frustrating enough, but there are always some tough guys popping up to create obstacles for him.
He said they were one family, but that old guy just looked at him like an idiot.
After Du Buqin finished listening to him, his face sulked, his triangular eyes squinting as a storm brewed. "Since we haven't found the person yet, why are you in such a hurry to take us away? Mr. Hu, are you planning to set up an ambush and kill us again? Aren't you tired of your fun yet?"
"Fuck you! Who are you looking down on? I didn't find the person, but I found a clue on the hilltop a mile away from Shitang Village! There are signs of human habitation in the dense forest on the mountain, and there are even sword marks left after a fight!"
Sweetie leaned forward, "And?"
The bearded man tilted his head and met the kid's eyes, "..."
Du Buqin explained, "You only found some traces. What then? Why are you rushing to bring us along? Go to the top of the mountain to find the entrance?"
The bearded man exhaled over his head, "Then I captured the Qian family's grandson and tied him up on the top of the mountain for people to watch."
five,"……"
The Qian family's grandson? Broken Blade's nephew?
Did you tie him up because you were afraid you wouldn't die quickly enough?
Du Buqin clapped his hands and said, "Great! Now that we've captured the Qian family's grandson, we don't have to look for anyone. Wouldn't it be faster to wait for Broken Blade to come to us? Hehehehe!"
Bai Yu and the three young men from the Su family followed suit and praised, "Big Beard, you did a great job this time. It was truly brilliant!"
Tianbao glanced at the bearded man and looked up at the sky.
Once Uncle Broken Blade is found, they will be able to see the person.
If Uncle Duan Dao wanted to settle a score with someone, he would look for Big Beard.
It’s really wonderful.
The bearded man sneered. Didn't he know the consequences? But this was the last resort.
Fortunately, the imperial court did not know that there was another survivor in the Yuan family besides Broken Dao, so they would not come to kill them for a while, which gave them enough time.
As long as he doesn't hurt anyone, even if the broken knife is found, it won't do anything to him. Then his job will be done.
From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!
He never wanted to see these bastards again!
The group felt a little hopeful and walked as fast as they could. When they reached the top of the mountain, the sun was just setting.
The top of the mountain is covered with dense forests, and there is a thatched house near the top.
There was no one inside or outside the house except for the messy traces left by the fight.
Not to mention the Qian family's grandson, even the people guarding the hostages were nowhere to be found.
On the top of the mountain, there was only the sound of the wind blowing through the forest.
Du Buqin and the other kids all stared at the bearded man, "Where's the person?"
The bearded man, "...", retreated again and again.
Damn it, which bastard cut him off?!
An old man and five young men approached with narrowed eyes, and a melee was about to break out.
At this moment, there was movement at the foot of the mountain.
A group of people in flying fish suits were rushing towards them.
A few people were looking down from a high place. When they saw this scene, they turned around and ran deep into the forest without saying a word, and found their own way down the mountain to the other side.
Tianbao was ignorant and didn't have to run by himself, so he was very idle and asked, "Grandpa Du, you don't want to fight?"
It's troublesome to escape, it's easier to beat those people.
Du Buqin's messy hair was blown up by the wind. "Fuck you! Those people wearing flying fish uniforms are all fucking Jinyiwei!"
"I can't beat him?" Tianbao was excited. She propped up her little body. She wanted to know what it felt like to be unable to win.
Du Buqin reached out and held her down. "It's not that I can't beat them, it's that fighting will only bring more trouble. We in the underworld call the Jinyiwei hunting dogs. These people have a reputation worse than a cesspool!"
