Chapter 174: Clues found, Old Lady Wan prepares to save herself
Leopard led a team of dozens of people and they split up into several directions and chased after the car as soon as they left the town. They were particularly careful especially in places with wheel tracks along the way.
After riding for half an hour, he still found no clues about the leopard, so he reined in his horse and turned back.
Just when they were halfway there, they saw a member of the Golden Axe Gang riding towards them on horseback.
"Brother Bao, we found a clue. After we spread the news to the Green Ox Gang, the spies in the Green Ox Gang just sent us a message saying that they captured a man today and brought him back to the gang. We don't know if it's the person we're looking for. Also, the brothers just followed the wheel tracks and they were heading towards the Green Ox Gang's territory. What should we do?"
Leopard narrowed his eyes. If it was the Qingniu Gang, it would be a bit tricky now. If it was a small sect, he could just lead people to rush in and rescue the people. However, the power of the Qingniu Gang was equal to that of their Golden Axe Gang. Especially in the past two years, the two gangs were evenly matched and there were frequent frictions. People were killed at any time. The conflict was already very deep. If he rushed in now, the people he had would definitely die.
"Go back and tell the leader that we can't make the decision on this matter."
Leopard rode his horse straight back to town.
The second and the first were waiting at the entrance of the town, their necks stretched. When they saw someone coming back, they immediately asked loudly, "Manager Bao, do you have any clues about the whereabouts of my third brother?"
Leopard immediately reined in his horse and replied without dismounting, "I found it. It's in the Qingniu Gang. This matter is troublesome. I have to go back and report to the gang leader before making a decision. You guys go back first."
After the leopard finished speaking, he quickly rode away.
The second and first brothers were confused. How was this related to the Qingniu Gang? They didn't have any grudges against the Qingniu Gang. Could it be that the greasy-haired man at noon was from the Qingniu Gang?
"Brother, let's go back quickly. I'm afraid mother will be waiting anxiously. Let's go back and report the news first."
"walk."
The two brothers ran back quickly.
When passing an intersection, they bumped into a drunk man. Wan Lao Da and Wan Lao Er knocked the man to the ground. The two men ran in a hurry, and the other party suddenly turned out from the intersection. The two parties suddenly met, and their shoulders bumped into each other's shoulders. The man was dizzy from drinking, and he didn't forget to curse when he was knocked to the ground.
"Damn it, don't you have eyes? There are so many blind people these days, they all want to bump into me."
The man staggered to his feet. Wan Lao Er pointed at him in surprise, breathing rapidly, "Why is it you? Why are you here?"
"Second brother, what's wrong? Do you know this guy?"
"This man is the one I bumped into at noon. I thought he kidnapped my third brother because he hated me. It seems that someone else kidnapped my third brother."
Wan Laoer became even more confused. Just now, Leopard said that Lao San was kidnapped by the Qingniu Gang. They had no grudges against the Qingniu Gang, so why did the other party kidnap Lao San?
Wan Laoer couldn't figure it out, and Wan Laoda couldn't figure it out even more. But when the man on the ground saw Wan Laoer, he sobered up a little. He pounced on him and grabbed Wan Laoer's collar.
"You bastard, it's you again. It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet. I ran into you again. You bumped into me twice in one day. If you don't compensate me today, I will beat you to death."
The man's mouth was full of alcohol, his body was staggering, his steps were unsteady, and he pulled Wan Laoer to sway with him.
"I was wrong to knock you down today. I was also wrong to bump into you in the store at noon. I apologize to you. Now I have something to do. Please get out of my way. I don't want to get entangled with you."
Wan Laoer didn't want to bother with a drunkard, saying that the other person's head was a mess and he had more important things to do, so he reached out and pulled the other person's hand off.
"Apologize? Bring me silver, ten taels of silver, or give me the cow as compensation, and we'll let this matter go. Otherwise, I'll never let you off."
Boss Wan stood behind the man and knocked him unconscious from behind. Boss Wan was stunned for a moment, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his eldest brother pull the man to the wall and sit him down against the wall.
"Second brother, hurry up and leave. When he sobers up, he will lose his memory and won't remember anything. He even thinks he is dreaming. You won't be able to explain it to him. This guy is just a jerk. Don't bother with him."
Wan Lao Er looked at the man again, and followed Wan Lao Da back to the shop without hesitation.
"Dad and Second Uncle are back, Grandma, Dad and Second Uncle are back."
Wan Quan was in charge of sitting at the gate to watch the door. When he saw the eldest and second Wan coming back from afar, he patted his butt, got up and ran into the house, shouting as he ran.
When everyone in the backyard heard the news, they hurried out of the house.
When Old Mrs. Wan saw Old Master Wan and Old Master Wan, her heart finally settled down.
"Big brother, second brother, how did you guys go about your investigation? Any news about the third brother? How come you haven't come back for so long? The people at home are worried sick."
Old Mrs. Wan slapped Boss Wan on the arm, her face also full of anxiety.
Boss Wan let Old Lady Wan pat him and even reached out to support her, fearing that the old lady would accidentally lose her balance.
"Mom, we have already found out the news about our third brother, but the situation is a bit tricky now. Even the Golden Axe Gang doesn't dare to act rashly."
On the way back, Boss Wan was thinking that it was impossible for the Golden Axe Gang to offend the Green Ox Gang for a stranger, so they probably had to rely on themselves to save people this time.
"Any news about the third child? Tell us what happened? Mom is so worried, and you are still hesitating. Can't you even speak clearly?"
Old Mrs. Wan slapped her thigh in anger, then pulled out a long bench beside her legs and sat down.
Boss Wan didn't dare to delay and immediately explained the whole story.
After listening to this, Old Lady Wan hesitated for a while before saying, "So, the person who kidnapped your third brother was not the person your second brother offended at noon?"
"Mom, no, we just ran into him coming out of Piaoxianglou after drinking wine, so it can't be him. With his physique, he is no match for the third brother."
Wan Laoer quickly explained.
"Second brother, you must immediately load the ox cart and go back to Shizi Village to find Mo'er. No one else can be counted on for this matter. Only Mo'er can rescue your third brother. We will thank Mo'er later. We owe him a big favor."
Old Mrs. Wan had no choice. The only person she could think of now was Wan Xingmo. She thought the same as Boss Wan did: there was no way the Golden Axe Gang would offend the Green Ox Gang for the sake of the third brother.
Wan Laoer quickly got up and walked towards the backyard. There was a barn in the southeast corner of the backyard, and the cows they bought were now kept in the barn.
Boss Wan was worried about letting Second Wan go back alone.
"Second brother, I'll go back with you. This border is too chaotic. I'm worried."
Boss Wan went into the house and put a dagger on his chest, then followed Boss Wan back to the village.
