Chapter 225 Qin Yuzhen in Danger
Wang Guixiang said, "Maybe something delayed him. Why not let Dachuan go find him?"
Li Youshan shook his head: "No, he's a grown man, and he's been to the county town to deliver goods so many times. He can get there with his eyes closed. He should be fine. Maybe he went to Baiweilou for dinner."
"Let's eat first and save some food for him."
Nanny Fang quickly served out one person's portion of food and placed it on the stove to keep it warm.
Li Sandong, who was being talked about, was now behind the wall of a dilapidated temple outside the city.
He went to the county town to deliver goods to Yuyanfang early this morning. When he was about to leave after unloading the goods, he passed through an alley and saw two men acting stealthily, dragging a sack out of the backyard of Yuyanfang, and then throwing the sack onto the donkey cart.
He was puzzled and quietly followed the two men out of the city. They stopped at an abandoned temple outside the city. The two men carried the sacks inside. There were three other people inside the temple.
Li Sandong carefully walked around to the back wall of the dilapidated temple and saw a tattered mat thrown on the ground. He grabbed it and wrapped himself in it to avoid being discovered.
The conversation inside came out.
"Cheng Er, that's great. I really let you catch the person."
Cheng Er spat, "It's not easy to catch her. I waited for such a long time and finally waited for her to go out. However, she was accompanied by guards. I thought I couldn't catch her today. But she went to Yuyanfang. I worked there for two years and I know it very well. I found a secluded place to watch her, and when she went to the toilet, I knocked her out and brought her out."
"You are the first to do this. If we can get some money from the Qin family, you will get the lion's share."
"Sure, I'll make Old Man Qin bring 20,000 taels this time, and then we won't have to worry about having a good life in our next life."
Cheng Er felt indignant when he thought about what happened in the past.
He worked well as a clerk in Yuyanfang and could make some money from time to time. However, he was scolded by Qin Yuzhen because of his bad attitude, and then he was punished by Qin Yunyi to work on the farm.
Within two days, his uncle was also kicked out, and not long after, all the relatives of the Cheng family were kicked out of the Qin Mansion.
This is disregarding their lives, how can he be willing to accept this?
They went to look for Cheng Zhao and his father, but they were also rejected by the Qin Mansion and the marriage fell through. They were so busy taking care of themselves that they didn't care about others.
He couldn't swallow this humiliation. At first he wanted to teach the Qin family a lesson, but later he wanted to extort money from them.
He couldn't do it alone, so he found a few thugs who liked to steal and cheat.
After discussion, they turned their attention to Qin Yuzhen, who was a woman and easy to deal with.
As a result, this person never went out, and even when he went out, he was accompanied by maids and guards. He followed him twice, but never had the chance to take action.
This time even God is helping me.
At this time, Qin Yuzhen woke up slowly, with cloth stuffed in her mouth and her hands and feet tied. When she realized that she was tied up, she turned pale with fright.
When she saw Cheng Er's face clearly, her eyes widened instantly.
I didn't expect this man to be so bold as to kidnap her.
Cheng Er saw that she was awake and said sarcastically, "Oh, Miss, you are awake? Your Qin family makes so much money, but you still haggle over small matters with us common people and drive us away. This is to leave us no way to live. Now that you are in our hands, I wonder if your father and your brother are willing to part with that little bit of money."
After saying that, he took out the prepared paper and pen and wrote a few crooked words, saying that Qin Yuzhen was in his hands. If she wanted her daughter back, she should take 20,000 taels of silver notes and 100 taels of gold and send them to a small forest outside the city, where there was a dead tree hole. After receiving the money, his daughter would be sent back home safely, otherwise her body would be destroyed.
After writing it, he handed it to a short man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks: "Remember, find a beggar to send you to the servant of Qin Mansion, and don't let anyone find you."
"Don't worry, I will do it well."
The man left with the letter.
Cheng Er looked at the other two and said, "Let's go get something to eat. Mao San and I have been busy for a long time and we are starving."
"All right."
One of them fetched water with a broken pottery jar, while the other went to collect firewood. There were cakes and dried vegetables they had stolen in the temple, which they just put in the pot and cooked.
Seeing the two men walking away, Li Sandong quietly walked around to the temple entrance.
Pick up stones and throw them inside.
"who?"
Cheng Er and Mao San looked at each other, Cheng Er took out a dagger, and Mao San picked up a thick stick and walked towards the door.
Cheng Er was a step behind.
As soon as he reached the door, a handful of lime mixed with chili powder was thrown at him, splashing all over his face. Mao San felt a stinging pain in his eyes and fell to the ground, rolling around and screaming.
Because Cheng Er was behind Mao San and dodged in time, he only touched a small amount of powder, but he was still choked and sneezed repeatedly.
Li Sandong took the opportunity, picked up a wooden stick and hit Cheng Er on the back. Cheng Er felt pain, looked at the person who came, and immediately waved the dagger in his hand.
Li Sandong had a cut on his arm.
He gritted his teeth and hit Cheng Er on the head with a stick. Cheng Er fell to the ground instantly and fell unconscious.
Then Li Sandong hit Mao San on the back of the neck with a stick again. Seeing that he didn't move, he immediately picked up the dagger and cut Qin Yuzhen's rope.
"Brother Sandong, how did you know I was here? And why did you come to save me?" Qin Yuzhen couldn't help but shed tears.
Li Sandong pulled her up and ran out: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, let's run to a safe place first."
After running a few steps, Qin Yuzhen could not run anymore. Li Sandong carried her on his back until they reached the carriage, then he put her down.
When he was driving back to the city, he happened to meet the guards from the Qin Mansion who were looking for someone.
Li Sandong explained the situation. One guard went to the county government office to report to the authorities, while the other guards went outside the city to block the people from escaping.
Four other guards escorted Qin Yuzhen back to the Qin Mansion.
Looking at Li Sandong's bandaged arm, Qin Yuzhen said with red eyes: "I'm sorry, Brother Sandong, if you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't have been injured."
"Miss Qin, it's just a little skin breakage, it's nothing. I used to get injured a lot while working, and there were many times when it was more serious than this. You don't have to blame yourself."
Qin Yunyi looked at his sister's distressed expression and shook his head secretly.
He had seen through her thoughts a long time ago, but because of Cheng Zhao's relationship, it was not suitable for his sister to talk about marriage at this time.
But now it seems that we should book it as soon as possible.
He asked Dujuan to take Qin Yuzhen back to the dormitory to wash up.
After everyone left, Qin Yunyi first thanked Li Sandong, and then asked directly: "Brother Sandong, do you like Zhenzhen?"
Li Sandong was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, Miss Yuzhen is beautiful and kind, I like her."
"Then why don't you come and propose marriage?"
Li Sandong said frankly: "My family was not as good as yours before, so I didn't dare to speak up."
"Zhenzhen doesn't care about the other person's wealth. When our Qin family chooses a husband for her, we only look at his character. She has taken a fancy to you. What do you think?"
Li Sandong was stunned for a moment, then realized what he said and felt ecstatic.
"Really?"
"Look at you, you're so silly. Would I joke about something like this? If you're interested, bring a matchmaker to propose marriage."
"Thank you, Brother Qin. I will tell my parents when I get back and come to propose marriage as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Qin Yunyi looked at his silly smile and shook his head with a smile.
Li Sandong was also afraid that his family would be worried if he didn't go home so late, so he changed into Qin Yunyi's clothes and went home.
