Chapter 78 Two Young Masters Were Kidnapped
"How was she kidnapped? Do you know who she was?" Su Qianqian stood up suddenly. As expected, there must be something wrong when something is unusual.
"Madam He and Madam Xin sent someone to report. They didn't go into detail about the situation. They were afraid that the old lady would be anxious, so they didn't dare to alarm her. Please ask Madam Hou to go to the Qingcang Courtyard of the eldest lady."
Su Mu calmed down and reported.
Su Qianqian changed her clothes in a hurry and didn't bother to get in the sedan chair. She ran all the way to the main hall of the Du family in Qingcang Courtyard.
Although Mrs. Du and Mrs. He looked unhappy at this time, they were still able to keep their composure. Mrs. Xin had fainted and was rescued. She was leaning weakly on the couch beside her and crying.
"What's going on?" Su Qianqian asked in a deep voice Mr. Xi Ximi who was standing next to her with his head down.
"Madam Hou, I was too credulous and thought that even if Madam Zhen did something wrong, her relationship with the two young masters would not be fake.
A few days ago, she sent someone to bring me a message, saying that she only wanted to see the two young masters in person, and then she would leave Xijing and never come back. I, Yi Nian Zhiren, took the two young masters to see her.
Who would have thought that he just went to buy some snacks for them, and when he came back, Madam Zhen and the two young masters were gone. ”
Mr. Mi didn't dare to look up, and his already fair face looked even paler.
"Where did you meet? When you found out they were missing, where did you look for them? How long had it been since then?"
"At Zhuyun Teahouse, I found that they were missing and searched for me in the East Market. I thought they had gone out to look for me. Later, when I couldn't find any trace of me, I realized something was wrong and rushed back to the mansion to check. What if Madam Zhen had already sent the young master back..."
Mr. Mi was a mature and steady man, but at this moment his voice was trembling. He still couldn't believe that Madam Zhen had abducted the two children.
"Qianqian, I have ordered people to find Han Zhang, Han Jin and Han Yue, and asked them to take people to search various places in the East Market and the West Market. I also sent people to the place where Madam Zhen lives and works. If they can't find them..." Mrs. Du's voice sank.
Xin's suppressed crying sounded particularly clear.
[My lady, Madam Zhen met with a merchant from Da Zhou that day and said that she wanted to take two orphans from her relatives to Da Zhou. In fact, she wanted to go to Daliang instead. Could it be that those two orphans are...]
When the system's voice sounded, Mrs. Du and Mrs. He's eyes lit up.
[Yes, I thought of that as well. We need to quickly find the merchants from Da Zhou to see if they have left Da Qi today. 】
Su Qianqian responded to the system in her heart.
[Mr. Mi went to buy some snacks, and Madam Zhen put them in Qin Mian and Qin Li's tea. Then she led them out of the teahouse, claiming that she was going to find Mr. Mi and take him back home. They could only find out this much through Mr. Mi. 】
"Mother, I heard that Madam Zhen is working as an embroiderer in Madam Xu's embroidery workshop. If we can't find Madam Zhen, we have to find merchants who have business dealings with the embroidery workshop. They are most likely to take Madam Zhen out of Xijing."
Su Qianqian pointed out directly that the two young masters of the Qin family were also the weak points of the Wuning Marquisate. If someone threatened their lives, the Wuning Marquisate would have no choice but to let them do whatever they wanted...
"Someone, go to the outer courtyard and pass on my order. Except for the people who are guarding the house, all the servants and guards of the Qin family should be on standby in the front courtyard and obey the orders of the Marquis's wife!" Mrs. Du ordered the nanny outside the room.
When Su Qianqian rushed to the front yard, all the servants and guards who could go out had already gathered, and the servants in Wuning Marquis's Mansion were as mobile as those in a military camp.
In order not to attract too much attention, Su Qianqian brought the second wife, the third wife and Qin Yuzhuo, and wore a veil on her face to avoid being recognized.
He and Xin were both nervous and it would be useless for them to go along, so Su Qianqian asked them to stay with Du and wait for news.
On the way to Madam Xu's embroidery workshop, I met the person who was sent to the workshop. As expected, Madam Xu said that Madam Zhen had quit her job yesterday.
"Go see Madam Xu." Su Qianqian ordered calmly.
In Madam Xu's Xiayifang, Madam Xu looked at Su Qianqian, who was wearing a veiled hat, in surprise: "Why would the Marquis's wife come to visit in person? What on earth did Madam Zhen do?"
"Madam Xu, Madam Zhen seduced the young master of my mansion and stole the treasure of my mansion. Please tell us which merchants she has been dealing with recently. Madam Zhen escaped with the caravan so that we can arrest her and pursue her."
"Oh, Madam Hou, my Xiayi Shop comes into contact with many merchants. If I were to talk about it, it would probably take several hours. I'm afraid you can't wait..." Madam Xu said anxiously.
"You only mean the merchants from Great Zhou." Su Qianqian said in a deep voice.
"The merchants from the Great Zhou include the merchant Gao from Ruining Prefecture, the merchant Liu from Qinghong Prefecture, and the merchant Qi from Huaimin Prefecture..."
[That person is a businessman named Shen from Wenhua Prefecture. 】The system’s voice suddenly sounded.
"Is there anyone from Wenhua Mansion?" Su Qianqian asked.
"From Wenhua Mansion..." Madam Xu pondered, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "There really is one, but he said he left Xijing and returned home yesterday."
"Thank you, Madam Xu, for the reminder." Su Qianqian smiled, turned around and led her people out of Xiayifang.
"Although you have to go through the South Gate to go to Da Zhou, you need to inquire at all four gates to see if there are any merchants from Da Zhou transporting goods out of the city. If you have any news, report it immediately." Su Qianqian gave the order.
[My lady, Madam Xu is lying. It is true that Madam Zhen resigned yesterday, but when she resigned, Madam Xu also asked her if she was going to travel with the merchants from Da Zhou. Madam Zhen said yes, and she also reminded her to be careful on the road. 】
The system's reminder startled the two ladies of the Qin family and Qin Yuzhuo. They didn't understand why Madam Xu, a frequent visitor to the Marquis' Mansion, would do such a thing.
[I have already noticed. Her second sentence gave it away. She said she was afraid we couldn't wait. It was obvious that she knew that Madam Zhen had left with the caravan and had left not long ago. 】
Su Qianqian got on the carriage. At this time, Qin Hanzhang, Qin Hanjin and Qin Hanyue also came over and asked about the situation here. Qin Hanzhang said:
"The situation is urgent now. We will split into four groups and go to each city gate to check. If there are no merchants from the Great Zhou leaving the city, we will find the right one and catch up from behind. The carriages are too slow, so we can chase on horseback."
The two ladies of the Qin family and Qin Yuzhuo had already gotten out of the car and headed straight for Junma, while Su Qianqian sat in the car without moving.
She can't ride a horse.
"You... aren't going to get off the car?" Qin Hanzhang asked with a frown. He didn't want to take Su Qianqian with him, but the system knew a lot of things they couldn't find out. Since it involved two children, Qin Hanzhang really needed help.
"I don't know how to ride a horse." Su Qianqian said honestly.
"…There's no time, get on my horse!" Qin Hanzhang reached out to catch Su Qianqian. Su Qianqian had no choice but to get off the carriage and was carried onto the horse by Qin Hanzhang. Then she felt a hard chest behind her.
Before he could think about it, Qin Hanzhang pulled the reins and hit the horse's buttocks. The horse raised its hooves and galloped away. Su Qianqian was so scared that she reached out to hug the horse's neck, not caring that the veil was blown back by the wind. The white gauze fluttered on Qin Hanzhang's face, and the ribbon was tied around his neck...
Qin Hanzhang: Were you sent by the enemy to block my view?
Qin Hanzhang and Su Qianqian went through the north gate, which was logically the last place they should go to in Da Zhou. However, when the soldiers guarding the city saw that it was Qin Hanzhang who was asking, they spoke a few more words attentively.
"There have been no merchants going to Da Zhou, but sir, there have been merchants from Da Zhou going to Da Qian, saying they wanted to buy some furs before returning to Da Zhou."
"Are there any women and children from Da Qi traveling with you?" Su Qianqian asked hurriedly.
"No." The soldier shook his head...
