Su Mo returned to the inn not long after Fu Xiaoguan was kidnapped.
He pushed open Fu Xiaoguan's door and frowned instantly. The clothes hanger beside the door fell to the ground, and the window opposite was wide open. The young master was gone.
He thought to himself, "Oh no!" and knocked on Chunxiu's door.
"Now listen, don't panic. The young master is missing, and I need you to do something right away."
Chunxiu was so frightened that she widened her eyes. Su Mo said, "Go to the Dong residence now. No matter what method you use, you must see Miss Dong. Just tell her that the young master is missing. She will know how to deal with it."
After Su Mo finished speaking, he returned to Fu Xiaoguan's room and flew out of that window.
In such a huge city like Shangjing, with so many lights everywhere, where should I go to look for it?
Chunxiu lifted her skirt and ran out of the inn. The inn was not far from the Dong Mansion. She ran straight to the door of the Dong Mansion, grabbed the two door knockers with both hands and slammed them, "Someone come, someone come quickly, I want to see Miss Shulan!"
After a few dozen breaths, a doorman opened the door a crack, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Who are you, and what urgent matter do you have to see my young lady so late at night?"
"Hurry, let me in! My son is missing, and I need to see Miss Dong right away." Chunxiu said in a panic. The doorman frowned, "Who is your son?"
"Fu Xiaoguan, my son is Fu Xiaoguan!"
"Oh, Fu Xiaoguan, I'm sorry, Miss, the mistress has ordered that Fu Xiaoguan is not allowed to enter the Dong Mansion."
The doorman was about to close the door, but Chunxiu didn't know where she got the strength from, and she suddenly rushed forward. The doorman inside had never expected this to happen, and the door was slammed open by Chunxiu. The door then slammed into the doorman's face, and immediately a stream of blood flowed from his forehead and nose. Chunxiu had already stepped into Dong's house and ran in madly.
"Miss Dong! Miss Dong!..."
Chunxiu ran and shouted, which immediately alarmed many people.
Lights were lit, guards came running over, there were questions and shouts.
"There's an assassin!"
"Miss Dong!"
The voices kept coming one after another, and Chunxiu was finally surrounded by a group of guards. "Don't stop me, I have something urgent to discuss with your young lady!"
"I'm afraid this guy is crazy. Take him away and lock him up. Don't disturb the master's rest."
Dong Shulan had not yet gone to bed after taking a shower. She was sitting at the desk, pondering the marketing plan that Fu Xiaoguan had mentioned. She vaguely heard a commotion outside, as if a woman's voice was calling her.
She put down her pen and walked out to the side yard. The sound became clearer and clearer, and then she saw Chunxiu struggling.
"Stop!" Dong Shulan shouted, walked over and asked, "Chunxiu, what happened?"
"Master, Master, he, he is gone."
"What!" Dong Shulan was shocked.
"Su Mo asked me to come find you. He has gone to look for the young master."
"Let her go..." Dong Shulan thought for a few breaths before saying to one of the guards, "Prepare the car."
"It's so late, miss..."
"I told you to prepare the car!" Dong Shulan yelled, and the guard ran out in a hurry.
"Come on, come with me."
In the main courtyard of the Dong Mansion, Madam Dong was about to leave with an angry look on her face, but Minister Dong grabbed her and said, "Let her go."
"Why?"
“No reason!”
A carriage broke through the peaceful and tranquil night and drove towards the Qin Mansion in the dim light.
This is not the Qin Mansion where Qin Bingzhong is located, but the Qin Mansion, one of the six major clans in Shangjing.
The person Dong Shulan was looking for was Qin Mowen, the current prefect of Jinling. Only he could mobilize the northern and southern yamen in Shangjing.
Not long after Dong Shulan's visiting card was handed in, Qin Mowen came out. He knew that Dong Shulan must have something important to tell him at this moment, so he did not let the doorman bring Dong Shulan in.
"Is the young official missing?" Dong Shulan had no intention of going in, so she just said this directly.
Qin Mowen also frowned, "How long has it been?"
"More than half an hour."
"Come on, follow me to the government office."
That night, thousands of detectives from the north and south yamen of Jinling City came out in full force, searching every corner of Shangjing City.
Among them, one hundred Jingyu Guards from the government office rode fast horses and left the city in four groups to search various places outside Shangjing City.
…
Fu Xiaoguan was hiding behind a huge rock at this moment. He cut off a sleeve with a knife, supported it with two short wooden sticks, and tied up his left shoulder blade.
According to his experience in his previous life, this injury was not very serious, but it would take a long time to fully recover.
After finally tying his left shoulder, he wiped the sweat from his face and sat down on the ground, but then he gasped and stood up again.
I totally forgot there was a hole on my butt. When I touched it with my hand, it was all sticky and bleeding.
In this dark place in the wild mountains, he had no way to find herbs to stop the bleeding, so he could only cut a piece of his clothes, ball it up, and stuff it into the wound on his butt.
He didn't know if there were any other accomplices besides these two bandits, so he didn't dare to make any excessive movements, let alone build a bonfire. He even moved to behind a big tree.
He had a knife hanging on his waist, a bow on his shoulder, and a quiver containing two arrows that were stuck in Lao Si's body.
These are the foundation of his survival. Now all he needs to do is wait for dawn. He believes that Su Mo will find a way when he finds out that he is not there.
Judging from the stars and the moon in the sky, he was currently located in the southeast of Jinling City. Of course, he didn't know the name of this mountain, but judging from the time, it shouldn't be too far from Jinling.
He killed both robbers, so he had no way of asking who was behind the incident. The only clue was a woman named Lin Hong from Yanzhilou who was mentioned by Old Seven.
Of course, he hadn't searched the two robbers yet, hoping they might have more clues.
Thinking back on the month or so he'd been in Jinling, it seemed Shi Chaoyuan was the only person he'd openly offended. As for Yan Xiwen... Fu Xiaoguan reflected carefully. He hadn't spent much time with Yan Xiwen. While he'd sometimes let his displeasure show, he was generally quite submissive. But it was also unclear. After all, he was a descendant of the Yan family. If he was more cunning, he wouldn't be able to tell.
After all, he really liked Dong Shulan, and if he died, his chances would be greater.
The two robbers must have known that he went to Hongxiuzhao tonight. If Su Mo had not gone to see Yu Wenjun off, the two robbers would not have had this opportunity. This was a coincidence, because Su Mo was not transferred away by the other party.
As I was thinking about it, the sky gradually brightened.
Fu Xiaoguan felt a little cold and his body was shivering. This was a sign of excessive blood loss. He had to return to Jinling as soon as possible.
Just then, he heard a sound coming from the woods. It was the sound of footsteps, very noisy. If he listened carefully, he could hear at least dozens of people.
He didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so he quietly left the tree, went to a farther place, and climbed to the top of the tree.
