Chapter 102 Hostages
Mu Junyan has been through many battles and is extremely sensitive to sounds.
Although the sound just now was small, it was obviously the sound of human bodies colliding.
If Gu Huan was present at the scene at this moment, she would have tried her best to make this sound.
She couldn't scream or break free, so she was naturally restrained.
Mu Junyan actually saw the corner of the curtain swaying slightly, his expression relaxed, and he nodded and said calmly: "Rats are indeed big in places like yours."
"Of course..." Lu Laosan breathed a sigh of relief and agreed with a smile.
Before he finished speaking, Mu Junyan rushed to the table and raised his hand to open the curtain.
...suddenly met Gu Huan's almost desperate eyes.
She was strangled by a gangster with her mouth and nose tightly grasped, unable to make a sound.
At this moment, Gu Huan's panic and grievance made her tears burst out, and the tension that she had been holding on to all night finally broke.
Seeing the girl's face covered with messy oil paint, tears flowed out like a broken string, and Mu Junyan felt as if his heart was stabbed hard.
Mu Junyan suddenly felt murderous and wanted to tear the person who hurt her into pieces!
He suddenly swung his arm and overturned the table, exposing the two people under the table.
While the criminal who trapped Gu Huan was distracted, the other hand reached out like lightning to rescue her.
The criminal was skilled in martial arts, but he was not as fast as the attacker. When he saw the big hand approaching, he woke up in shock. He pulled back the arm that was strangling Gu Huan's neck, picked up Gu Huan and stood up, howling, "If you dare to come over again, I will kill her!"
Gu Huan was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. She had no strength left in her body. The weight of the strangulation increased as her body was hung up.
Mu Junyan gritted his teeth, but had to stop and shouted: "I won't move, let go, don't hurt her."
It happened in the blink of an eye, and the Inspection Office and the Black Armor Guards only then reacted.
Chiyu Chiyan and the others moved quickly, drawing their swords and surrounding Lu Laosan and the gangsters who controlled Gu Huan.
Mu Junyan waved his hand, and Chi Yan and the others didn't dare to move, for fear of hurting Gu Huan.
The opera troupe and jugglers were so frightened that they fled in all directions but were stopped by the black-armored guards.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Naturally, Lu Laosan and his men could no longer pretend, and they all picked up their weapons and prepared to resist.
There were a dozen people hiding in the backyard, and they all rushed forward with swords drawn.
For a moment, the scene was chaotic and tense.
Lu Laosan and his men sneaked into Bian Jing. They are all experienced masters. As spies, they will naturally find a way out for themselves, not to mention that they now have hostages in their hands.
Lu Laosan immediately rushed to Gu Huan and the others, pulled out a dagger and handed it to the person who was holding Gu Huan hostage.
The man held the dagger to her neck.
The knife cut Gu Huan's delicate skin, and she almost wanted to cry because of the pain. However, she was afraid that Mu Junyan would worry too much, so she gritted her teeth and held back.
Mu Junyan's eyes were bloodshot: "If you dare to hurt her again, I will make sure you all die without a burial place!"
Several masters including Akabane also jumped over.
When Lu Laosan saw their movements, he knew that they were very skilled and they would be evenly matched if they were to fight one-on-one.
Besides, this is Bian Jing, you can't escape by brute force alone.
He saw that Mu Junyan was very nervous about his daughter-in-law, so he made a quick decision: "Duke Yong, we are also collecting money to help others get rid of disasters. Why don't we make a deal? We can not kill her, you let the city gate open, and when we leave the city, we will release your daughter-in-law, how about that?"
What a disaster it would be if the patrol inspectors saw that they were trying to escape. Not to mention that the Duke of Yong would definitely retaliate and accuse them of not maintaining public security and letting the criminals into the city.
Take so many criminals for example. If he caught them, even if he killed them all on the spot, it would be a great achievement.
How could they let them go easily while the Black Armor Guards were here?
Moreover, he learned from the brother who first met Gu Wanru that the criminals had captured not the daughter-in-law of Duke Yong, but the concubine's daughter of the Gu family.
Is it worth letting so many criminals go just for a concubine's daughter?
The head of the patrol inspection department sneered: "You wish. Besides, you don't even know who you arrested..."
Mu Junyan interrupted him directly, his eyes grim: "You dare to arrest my daughter-in-law, it is a capital crime. But I can let you go, you can't touch her again, otherwise, I will kill people without mercy! I have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead!"
Although Lu Laosan and his men were used to seeing killings, they were shocked by the ferocity of Mu Junyan's bloody fighting on the battlefield, and they all felt cold sweats on their backs.
He is not an ordinary constable, he is a battle-hardened war god.
Being stared at by his cold gaze, Lu Laosan felt like being stared at by a bloodthirsty beast, and he couldn't help feeling scared.
"Don't worry, Duke. We who walk the rivers and lakes are all moralists."
Mu Junyan didn't believe their nonsense.
They are not ordinary wanderers.
But now, he put everything behind him.
There was only Gu Huan in his eyes.
"Go and tell the city guards to open the city gates and release the people." Mu Junyan stared at Lu Laosan and gave the inspection order.
The head of the Inspection Office was surprised and stared at Mu Junyan with a puzzled look.
Although the kidnapped person had paint on his face and a plump figure, much of the paint on his face had been smeared off, so he could definitely be recognized from such a close distance.
He saw that the person being kidnapped had a girl's hair accessory. Could it be that the Duke didn't see it?
Lu Laosan and his men already had some doubts about the identity of the captured person, and seeing their conversation and expressions, they became even more confused.
But the most important thing now is to escape.
But he did not dare to disobey Mu Junyan's order, and immediately ordered his men to go to the city gate to pass on the order.
Lu Lao San quickly ordered: "Prepare the car."
A group of criminals took Gu Huan hostage and fled towards the door.
Gu Huan stared at Mu Junyan and immediately understood after hearing their conversation.
In order to preserve her reputation, Mu Junyan announced to the public that it was Gu Wanru who was kidnapped.
Given his personality, he would definitely kill all these criminals.
But for her, he gave up.
Gu Huan's eyes became hot and she stared blankly at the tense and resolute face with tears in her eyes.
Mu Junyan was furious and wanted to kill these people immediately.
He looked back at the little girl, but did not dare to show any anxiety, and looked at her with gentle eyes.
He mouthed two words to her: "Don't be afraid."
Gu Huan blinked and tears fell.
Mu Junyan's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Lu Laosan personally stuffed Gu Huan into a carriage and jumped on himself.
A group of gangsters climbed onto three carriages and rushed out of the city gate.
Mu Junyan and the others also mounted their horses and chased after them.
The people from the Inspection Office looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
They realized that this group of criminals were extremely vicious. Their patrol department could only subdue petty thieves, so they had to stay away from criminals who would hold knives at every turn.
"Boss, who do you think the criminals caught?"
"I don't know a thing. Who cares who he is? The Duke is so nervous. It must be a female relative of the Duke's Mansion."
"Yeah. I can't see her face clearly, but her figure, wow, so attractive."
The head of the patrol inspection department kicked him hard and said, "Take all the remaining ones back for interrogation and verify their identities. In case there are still one or two criminals left, I think your figure is very attractive!"
When Ji Xuanyu rushed to the Xinghua Theater, it was already empty.
Lu Laosan left a mark, knowing that they were heading towards the planned retreat location.
He quickly mounted his horse and chased after him out of the city.
