Chapter 287 Just Live
At the beginning, Governor Kang and others thought it was just a simple kidnapping case.
But kidnapping is not a small case. After all, this kind of thing has not happened in the city for many years.
Especially after the Pei family incident that year, Prefect Kang had been in the city for many years and had been on high alert for this matter, so when this incident happened, Prefect Kang rushed to the scene as soon as possible.
Because this incident happened near the Yuexi River and Pei Cheng happened to be passing by with his troops, both Pei Cheng and Prefect Kang deployed all their manpower here.
After all, today is the Lantern Festival, and there are many people here. Everyone thought that it would take a lot of time to investigate, but they didn't expect to find Jin Yumantang in such a short time.
Although it was Pei Cheng who led his men to find it, the people in the yamen were not pushovers after all, and they soon discovered that something was wrong.
Jin Yu Man Tang is such a big jewelry store, but today there is only one storekeeper and two waiters. No matter how you ask, they know nothing.
Soon after, the government office caught fire and all the files in the office were burned. All the shops were connected and it was no exaggeration to say that there was chaos and disorder.
Then Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng ran to Pei Cheng anxiously, saying that he might want to take revenge, and they rushed to the Kang family without stopping.
But it was still too late.
The murderer was not completely caught, and Mrs. Kang used her body to protect Kang Mingnuo. She was stabbed several times, and her gorgeous clothes were soaked with blood. She was dying.
Thinking back on that scene now, it was like hell on earth. Kang Mingnuo was trembling under his mother, his little face was as pale as paper, his eyes were dull, as if his soul had been taken away.
When Governor Kang rushed home and saw that scene, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.
The servants in the house were lying all over the place. Some had their throats cut and blood was still gushing out; some had their heads and bodies separated and died with their eyes open.
There were shocking bloodstains everywhere on the walls and the ground, and the entire yard was a mess.
Pei Cheng, as a good friend of Kang Hongxuan, clenched his fists when he saw this scene, his knuckles turned white, and his teeth chattered. He was also extremely angry.
Night fell over the Kang family. It should have been the festive night of the Lantern Festival, but now it was filled with the smell of death and despair.
Kang Hongxuan and his wife are deeply in love. Over the years, there have been people who have wanted to get people into his backyard, but they have never succeeded.
Mrs. Kang has always been in poor health. After so many years of marriage, she finally gave birth to Kang Mingnuo, who is only five years old now.
The accident with his wife and child was like rubbing salt into his heart.
Hearing that the two were not in danger of their lives, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he could not care about anything else and just wanted to go to the room to see his wife and children.
Gu Yunyi knew that Mrs. Kang and her child were not in danger of death, so he said something to the people from the Li family and was about to leave.
Gu Yunyi met with Pei Cheng. Prefect Kang was worried about his wife and children, so the matter naturally fell on Pei Cheng's head.
It is natural that Pei Cheng is good at leading troops to fight, and he has also been managing the camp. After all, the capital city is Kang Hongxuan's territory, so it is not so easy for him to take over suddenly.
Gu Yunyi had no choice but to go over to help.
All the criminals who sneaked into Kang Mansion and killed people have been caught, but the boss of Jin Yumantang and others have not been found yet, so Pei Cheng dare not take it lightly.
The entire Yuexi River and the inner city are still under martial law, and even the guards at the city gates have increased their manpower.
At noon, someone from the government office brought a message saying that Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng were fine and were now helping out in the government office. They would be back in the evening, and asked Master Zhou to go with them to help.
Zhou Yuanjia was catching up on his sleep because he hadn't slept all night, so Xu Qingmeng hurriedly asked someone to wake him up.
While waiting for Zhou Yuanjia, Xu Qingmeng asked a few questions about the Kang family.
The man did not hide it. After all, news spread early this morning that the Kang family was almost wiped out. Even though the Gu family was a little far away, this matter was not a trivial matter, so the Gu family also heard the news.
"…Mrs. Kang was seriously injured. It took more than a dozen doctors to save her life after spending most of the night trying to save her. Although the young master is not in danger of death, he is still young, so he was also frightened…"
"As for the servants and maids in the mansion, almost none of them survived. Fortunately, Master Gu and his soldiers arrived in time. If it had been a little later, Madam and Master would have been..."
The people in the yamen shook their heads, and when they saw Zhou Yuanjia coming, they hurriedly took their people back to the yamen.
Xu Qingmeng had seen Mrs. Kang from afar once before. At that time, they were in Yan County, at the home of County Magistrate Huang. She went to discuss matters with Mrs. Huang, and the lady had just left.
She still remembered that when the lady left, she also took away the Jinxiuxuan snack gift box. However, it seemed that Mrs. Kang took the young master back to the capital before the New Year, so on New Year's Eve, Lord Kang had dinner at the Gu family.
I heard from Pei Cheng that he rushed back to celebrate the festival with Lord Kang, but who would have thought that he would encounter such a disaster.
Xu Qingmeng took a deep breath and felt sad.
Gu Yunyi and the others did not return until the evening. All three of them were extremely tired. Hui Niang was waiting at Gu's house with Yuanbao because Fang Ziheng had not returned yet.
Gu Yunyi stepped forward, held Xu Qingmeng's hand, and said softly, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Xu Qingmeng shook her head: "What are you talking about? Are you tired? Are you hungry? Eat something first and go to rest."
Gu Yunyi nodded and leaned back in his chair, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.
Gu Yunyi was really exhausted, and so was Fang Ziheng. Zhou Yuanjia was much better than the other two, after all, he had taken a nap in the morning.
Xu Qingmeng knew that they would be back in the evening, so she prepared the food early. He quickly asked someone to bring up the food and hot water.
The three of them had hardly time to talk, they just picked up their bowls and started eating.
While they were having dinner, Xu Qingmeng noticed that there was something wrong with Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng's arms.
"You two...you two are injured?"
"The boss..."
Xu Qingmeng looked at the man in front of her with great distress. She wanted to reach out to check his injuries, but she was afraid that she would hurt him accidentally.
Hui Niang was holding Yuanbao and didn't pay any attention. But when she heard Meng Niang say that, she hurried over to look over.
However, Fang Ziheng's injuries were much more serious than Gu Yunyi's.
"What happened to you two? Why are you injured? Did you fight with someone? How is your uncle? Is he injured?"
When Zhou Yuanjia arrived at the yamen and saw the two people, he asked them about it. The two people actually brought several soldiers to face the criminals directly. He scolded them at that time, not to mention Xu Qingmeng and the others. So the three of them tacitly did not say anything, just because they did not want to make them worry.
