Chapter 85 Rescue

"Do you think I'm stupid? What if she goes back to report to the police?"

Shen Yuan felt a sharp pain in his neck and quickly said, "I'm still in your hands. How dare she report me to the police? I still want to live, but you have to keep your promise and let me go after you take the money."

The bandit didn't say anything for a long while, but Shen Yuan could hear his inner struggle. He was simply afraid of returning empty-handed and being punished by his so-called master, but he was also afraid of being caught if he let the man go back to report the news.

"Either you take the silver and the carriage and leave now. You can take all the jewelry I have. Or you can ask my maid to go back and tell my father to send the silver. We promise not to reveal a word when we return."

"Huh! Guarantee? What guarantee do you have?"

Shen Yuan tried hard to hold back tears, and then they fell. "You don't know, my father just found me a good marriage. The other party's family is a scholar, and reputation is the most important. If the news of my being robbed gets out, my marriage will definitely not be successful. My family is a merchant family, and it is not easy to marry into a scholar family. My father will definitely not tell anyone."

Shen Yuan cried so emotionally that the robber believed her a little, but he still did not let Qing Dai go back to report the news, but asked the driver to go back. He felt that leaving a man here would be dangerous.

"You, go back and tell your master to send 10,000 taels over. Only one person can come, or he can forget about having his daughter."

"Uncle Zhou, go ahead and remember to tell my dad to do it quietly and not let anyone else know. You must tell my dad in person!"

"Yes, yes, I know."

At home, He Ying was also a little puzzled. She didn't know why Shen Yuan had not come back for such a long time after going to see someone off.

The driver was so frightened that his legs went limp. He rolled and crawled into the city, and then ran directly to the Dali Temple to find Shen Yun.

After seeing Shen Yun, he didn't even bother to be polite. He knelt on the ground and cried that something had happened to the girl.

The situation this time was far more dangerous than the one at Yunxia Mountain. Shen Yun's face turned pale when he heard this, but he could not afford to be afraid now. He needed to find a way to save his daughter immediately.

On Shen Yuan's side, the gangster held the knife for too long and his hands began to tremble. Shen Yuan was really afraid that if he couldn't hold it steady, the knife would cut her neck.

Shen Yuan thought that if everything was safe this time, she would definitely go to the temple... No, she would just build a Buddhist temple at home and worship every day, and then invite a few monks to perform rituals to exorcise the evil spirits. Why was she so unlucky!

He had hardly gone out many times, and every time he encountered such bad things, Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears as he thought about it.

"What are you crying for? You're making me upset. If you cry again, I'll kill you."

As the Chief Justice of Dali Temple, Shen Yun could have the Dali Temple detectives follow him to arrest people as long as he gave the order. However, this time he really didn't dare to give the order.

He could only ask the driver to go back to the mansion to report the news and ask the mansion to find a way to raise 12,000 taels of silver for use, while he himself thought of another way.

"Sir Shen, has something happened at home?" He just saw a man hurried out of Shen Yun's duty room with a frightened look on his face. He asked the clerk in the Dali Temple and found out that it was the Shen family's coachman.

Shen Yun didn't want to be busy either. If he was too concerned, it would be a mess. More people might mean more solutions.

"Manman is in trouble." Shen Yun said with a sullen face what the driver had just reported. "Manman is my life. If she really can be saved by taking the money, I can give her fifty, twenty or a hundred thousand taels, not to mention ten thousand taels. I'm just afraid... I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry. If the robbers can send someone back to report the incident, they still want the money."

"Yes, I have sent someone back to raise money."

"Uncle, if there is not enough money at home, I can ask someone to go home and get some." Xie Hui said as he checked the map of the suburbs of Beijing that Shen Yun had placed on the table.

"Okay, there's a date. Thank you in advance, uncle." Shen Yun did not refuse. Although his family was well-off, it would still be difficult to take out 12,000 taels of cash all at once.

"Uncle, there is a small path here. I can lead people to go around to the back of the robbers, and you can go to the front and negotiate with the robbers."

"Will we be discovered if we go around to the back?"

"No, when I was in the army, I learned from the scouts that they could often enter and exit the enemy camp as if there was no one there. I am confident that I will not be discovered."

Finally, Shen Yun agreed with Xie Hui's opinion. He went home to get the money and went to meet the robbers alone, and asked Xie Hui to lead people to bypass the robbers.

After Shen Yun left, Xie Hui wrote a note and asked someone to send it home to get the silver, while he rode quickly into the palace to meet the emperor.

Normally, they should dismount and walk when they reach the palace gate, but the situation was urgent and Xie Hui could not care less. When the guards stepped forward to stop him, he simply tore off his badge and threw it to the ground.

This badge was given by the emperor, allowing him to do as he pleases in the palace.

Deqing saw someone riding a horse quickly outside the palace and almost shouted that there was an assassin.

"Hey, why are you here?" Deqing was about to say that he was going in to report, but he saw Xie Hui had already pushed the door open.

"Eh? Why are you here? Do you have something to say to your uncle? Hey, hey, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you kneeling down?"

"Uncle, I would like to borrow your Shadow Guard to rescue someone."

"What?" The emperor never thought it was this, but no matter how much he thanked her, he couldn't just let it go.

"There is a time limit. The reason why Shadow Guards are Shadow Guards is that they cannot leave my side. If you want to save people, there are plenty of detectives in the Dali Temple. If that doesn't work, you can choose any of the imperial guards in the palace."

"Uncle, the situation is urgent. It is safest to use the Shadow Guards. They can come and go without a trace, and the Imperial Guards do not have this ability." Xie Hui knew that even in the Imperial Guards, there were people with this ability, but he did not have time to pick people now, so it would be faster to go directly to the Shadow Guards.

"Who are you trying to save? What's making you so anxious?"

"This is the girl that Youqi likes. Please help me with this, uncle." Xie Hui blurted out the words in a moment of anxiety.

"Dark Night and Dark Shadow, you can go there at your own convenience."

"Yes!" Two people fell to the ground from somewhere. Xie Hui was a martial artist, so he didn't hear any breath.

"Thank you, uncle." Xie Hui stood up and walked out without any delay.

When Shen Yun got home, He Ying had already collected enough money. There was not enough money in the family account, so she took out money from her dowry to make up the 10,000 taels.

"Dad, if the money is still not enough, please ask someone to send a message back." He Ying wanted to save Manman herself, but she also knew that she couldn't cause trouble at this time.

Outside the city.

The robber's patience was running out. "Why hasn't your father come yet?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? It takes time to raise 10,000 taels of silver."

"Don't you have more than a dozen restaurants in your house? And you still can't come up with money? Are you kidding me?"

Shen Yuan swallowed his saliva and calmed down, "As a tavern owner, the money is naturally on the tavern's account. It will take time to collect the money. Besides, do you know how much 10,000 taels of silver is? How can you take it out? And if you don't change it into common banknotes, there will be official seals on the banknotes, and it will be easy to be discovered if you spend it."

"Don't you dare to frame me."

"Girl, girl, the master is here!"

"father!"

"Here is a silver note of 12,000 taels. Please let my daughter go." Shen Yun was angry and distressed when he saw his daughter's current appearance.

But the robbers didn't plan to let him go so soon. "Put the banknotes on the carriage, and I will let you go after you leave the capital."

"Brave man, I'll give you all the money. I'm here alone too. Let the man ride on his horse and we'll be out of the capital soon."

"Yes, my father is right. You are seeking money, and now you will have the money. You can ride on a fast horse and leave quickly. No one can catch you. If you take me with you, it will be a burden."

They were still struggling with the robbers, and no one noticed that Xie Hui and the two shadow guards were already on a tree not far behind the robbers.
