Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 160

Qin Shao felt a little weird, and walked forward with the third son, thinking about the weirdness of this matter.

Seeing that he was about to walk out of Ma Dao Street, it would definitely not be that simple to be alert. Even though the little girl was wearing coarse clothes, her skin was delicate, and she did not come from an ordinary small family.

The man looked wretched, and his clothes were a little messy. He looked like someone who walked around the streets.

Could it be that he met a kidnapper who abducted a little girl?
Thinking about how such a young girl would fall into the hands of kidnappers, what would happen, I couldn't bear it.

"Father, what's wrong?"

The third son looked at Qin Shao's head and asked in surprise.

"That man was too strange just now, I suspect he is a kidnapper, otherwise why would he cover that child's mouth?"

After being reminded by Qin Shao, the third son also felt that the situation was suspicious, and the two hurriedly turned around to look for that person.

The two searched around, but couldn't find the person. They asked the peddler who was doing business on the side, and said that the person took the girl to the alley.

People living in Kaifeng Mansion are crowded. Qin Shao and Xiaosanzi walked through an alley and found that there was another alley in front of them, intersecting each other, which was very complicated.

The two are outsiders, and they are very unfamiliar with the terrain of this place, and they did not find the person after going around a few times.

They were anxious when they suddenly saw a group of people running towards them, and they kept calling Bao'er.

"You two young masters, have you ever seen a [-] or [-]-year-old girl? Our sister came out to play with the mother at home. She was ashamed and anxious to find her!"

A man in charge stepped forward and asked anxiously.

"We saw a little girl on Ma Dao Street, about six or seven years old, who was taken by a thin man in his forties. The little girl saw us and wanted to call someone, but was taken away by the man covering her mouth. , I didn’t think so at the time, but later I was surprised and suspected that it was a kidnapper, so we came to look for it, but we didn’t know the way, so we ran around in this alley.”

Qin Shao explained the situation forward.

"More sons are righteous! To be honest, my master is a local official, and our family is from Jiangxi. Our sister is the master's treasure. I just came from my hometown with my mother for two days. I am not familiar with the turmoil here today. The master is distressed, so let's take it to the street to play for a while, who knows that the old lady will get lost without paying attention!"

"Our master was very anxious and sent several passers-by to look for it. Our passers-by will go here. Since the young master has seen that person, can you please look for it together? If we can find our sister, our master will definitely thank you, young lady. Let’s give the young master a big kowtow first!”

The person in charge was obviously in a hurry, and was about to kneel down to Qin Shao.

Qin Shao hurriedly helped him up, saying that now is not the time to pay attention to etiquette, and finding talents is a serious matter.

The steward hurriedly said yes.

Several people divided into several groups and searched along the alley, but still failed.

Qin Shao was surprised by this. Earlier in the inn, he heard the shopkeeper tell the guests with children to pay attention to their own children. He said that kidnappers have been rampant in the past two years. Many girls have been kidnapped and reported to the police. The government searched, but they could not find the children. where to go.

He always thought that the shopkeeper was just a courteous order, but he didn't expect it to be true.

And she's the daughter of an official!

This kidnapper is too rampant.

But think about the kidnapper who kidnaps the child, he must be looking for those who are not careful with the child, and the child is easy to be deceived. It is better to meet a girl of good background, and you can sell it for a good price!
Moreover, the ancient information is underdeveloped, and there is no monitoring and so on. It is really hard to find a lost child, so it is no wonder that the kidnapper is rampant.

Several people went around a few times, but there was no clue. The manager was sweating profusely and was at a loss.

Qin Shao suddenly remembered some story books he had read in his previous life, which described the events of Yudi, saying that some kidnappers kidnapped women and hid them in some temples. Dirty land.

At that time, it was only viewed as unofficial history, but now that I think about it, since someone wrote it, it naturally came from life, maybe there is such a thing.

Qin Shao told the butler his thoughts.

"Young Master is still smart. The kidnappers are all committed by gangs. There must not be only one person, and there must be a place to stay. We really should go to hidden places to look for it."

The butler said with a bright light in front of his eyes.

"If this person is lost, someone will definitely look for him. The kidnapper is afraid, so he will definitely not send him out of the city right away, and he will definitely hide in the city! You might as well have someone tell your lord, go to the city gate to inform, and strictly investigate the people who go out of the city .Then let people go to the low-level places to check, by the way, there are also some temples and nunneries, I heard that some places are also very unclean."

Qin Shao continued.

"Young master said, I asked my master to say hello to the gate of the city. Many temples and nunneries are not clean. Now I will tell other people to look for those places."

said the butler excitedly.

"If that's the case, we'll look for it separately, and we'll let you know if we find it!"

Qin Shao said to the housekeeper, cupping his hands and preparing to leave.

He told the housekeeper where he lived, and if there was anything wrong, he could go to the inn to find him.

"Sir, benevolent! When you find our sister, you must tell our adults, and thank you at the door!"

Qin Shao bid farewell to the butler, but when he looked up, he found that the third son had gone somewhere.

The boy followed him to search in various alleys, but now he met the housekeeper, but the boy was nowhere to be seen.

Qin Shao was a little anxious, where did this kid go?
I asked a few people and they all said they hadn't seen it.

Instead, the old man selling melon seeds with a basket said that he saw a little brother turning the corner to go to the Hutong Temple over there.

"Where is Hutong Temple?"

Qin Shao was puzzled.

"Hutong Temple was originally a temple, just at the corner at the end of the Hutong not far ahead. It was quite famous in the early years, but now it has been built as a house for residents. There is only one Buddha left in it, and a few houses are almost in ruins. , very few people go.”

The old man selling melon seeds said.

After Qin Shao listened, he didn't have time to thank the old man, so he ran straight to the Hutong Temple.

When we arrived at the Hutong Temple, it really looked like a temple except for the gate, and there were a few small houses inside.

As soon as Qin Shao arrived at the door, he heard fierce fighting and shouting inside.

There was a familiar voice inside, who else could it be if it wasn't Xiao Sanzi?

Qin Shao pushed the door and didn't understand. In desperation, he kicked it directly, and the dilapidated temple door burst open with a bang.

There are six or seven people in the yard, three or four people dressed as monks, and a few people dressed in ordinary clothes, besieging Xiaosanzi.

The third son fell down and was being beaten by the crowd.

Qin Shao pulled out a stick from the door and went to meet him.

After all, Xiaosanzi is not very old, and there are six or seven people besieging him, some of them can't stand it, and those people can still take advantage of it.

Qin Shao's stick was ruthless, and when the stick went down, those people lay on the ground with their bodies hugged and screamed.

The sound of fighting soon attracted people who were looking for it over there!
It turned out that the butler brought people to find him.

He was going to look elsewhere, but when he heard the old melon seed seller say that the young master's friend had disappeared, the young master rushed towards the temple in the alley.

Feeling bad, I also rushed over with others.

Those who were knocked down originally wanted to escape, but they didn't want to run into the people brought by the housekeeper.

Those people joined hands, and quickly tied up those people.

Qin Shao checked the injury of the third son, and found that it was only some minor trauma, which was not serious, so he was relieved.

"Master, there is a problem with the woodshed over there!"

The third son shouted.

Qin Shao and the butler opened the firewood room, and there were four or five maids inside.

They are not very old, there are four, five, six or seven years old, and the oldest looks like pickled, who is about ten years old. When those children saw them, they screamed in shock and were very pitiful.

Qin Shao looked at those little girls, they were all good-looking, and thought that this must be the daughter of the kidnapper deliberately kidnapping someone else's daughter. Those girls have been educated at home, and many of them can read some words, so they can be sold at a good price .

The housekeeper looked around, but couldn't find their sister, and was a little anxious.

The little third son pulled out a little girl from the corner of the house on one side.

"Sister!"

The butler staggered and ran over.

But the little girl burst into tears, hugging the third son with both hands and not letting go.

The butler withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassingly.

My sister was afraid of him, so he could only ask his servants to go home and report to Mrs. Master, so that they could come and take his sister back.

"It's freaking out, just wait for someone close to her to come over."

Qin Shao comforted.

The housekeeper nodded quickly, saying that he had already notified his wife, and they would be here in a while.
