Zhu Houzhao, the lonely Ming Dynasty, angrily snatched Yan Shenggong at the beginning!

Chapter 50 The golden cicada escapes its shell! (Seek to pursue investment in collections!)

"Yan Shenggong, are you okay?"

Not long after the masked man left with the silver, the rope that tied Yan Shenggong was let down bit by bit.

Xie Qian and the others, who were very worried in their hearts, hurried up to meet them and stretched out their hands to catch them.

However, when they first came into contact with Kong Hongtai, they smelled a strong smell.

Xie Qian and the others were staggered by the smell, and almost threw Kong Hongtai, who was like a silkworm chrysalis, tied in his hands, directly to the ground.

"water!"

Kong Hongtai, who landed on the ground, looked at the people blankly at first, and when he was sure that he was really safe, tears of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he opened his mouth and called for water first.

There was no way, he was really thirsty, although the group of people gave him some water these two days, but that water could only catch his life, it couldn't satisfy his hunger and thirst at all.

"Quick, quick... water!"

Xie Qian, who suppressed the smell, hurriedly asked for water to be brought over.

"Gudong Gudong Gudong..."

When the kettle arrived, Kong Hongtai stretched his head out like a tortoise excitedly. After Xie Qian uncorked the kettle, he swallowed it in one gulp and drank ferociously.

"Slow down, slow down, there is plenty of water, don't choke!"

Xie Qian quickly comforted him.

He didn't want Kong Hongtai to be choked to death because of drinking water just after he rescued Kong Hongtai.

But for a person who has been thirsty for several days, how can he listen to his words, and drank half a pot in one breath.

Seeing that this guy was going to be strangled to death because of drinking water, Xie Qian quickly grabbed the water bottle and pulled it out hard.

"Boom!"

"Give me, I want water, I want water..."

Kong Hongtai kept struggling with excitement, roaring angrily like a madman.

"Yan Shenggong is fine. If you drink any more, you will be exhausted. You are safe now, and there will be endless water in the future."

With a roar, Xie Qian gradually brought Kong Hongtai back to his senses.

The madness in his eyes slowly dissipated. Kong Hongtai looked at Xie Qian who was holding the kettle and looking at him seriously, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Yu Qiao, my life is almost over!"

Kong Hongtai's cry made Xie Qian's expression relax a bit, and he walked up to Kong Hongtai who was crying bitterly, resisting the strange smell, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder to express comfort.

"Why are you still standing there, why don't you let go of the father-in-law quickly."

While comforting, he glared angrily at the servants of the Kong family around him.

This group of Kong family members are too blind, and they didn't see that their master is still tied up.

"oh oh…"

The servants froze for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie the rope on his body.

However, as soon as the rope was untied, the pungent smell became stronger.

"vomit!"

With the shackles on Yan Shenggong's body being completely removed, one of the servants who saw the scene inside almost vomited.

Kong Hongtai didn't have a single piece of clothing to cover his body, the only piece of cloth that was tied was strong and bulging, and with Kong Hongtai's body movements, dirty things fell out from time to time. (Nimma, I almost vomited myself!)
Half an hour later, Kong Hongtai, who had been groomed and dressed, leaned against a corner of the carriage tremblingly, wrapped in a quilt.

Xie Qian wanted to ask about the situation, but seeing the other party's trance-like appearance, he sighed, and decided to wait for the other party to recuperate, and now the most important thing is to hunt down those villains first.

Stepping out of the carriage, Xie Qian looked at the two soldiers who went up to release them.

"Did you find anything, where did they escape?"

The two soldiers shook their heads helplessly.

"Thank you, bachelor. After those people received the signal, they handed over the rope to us. When we let them down, they ran away without a trace."

As he said that, the soldier who replied hesitated for a while, and then said: "We also watched the situation you asked us to observe. According to the observation of my subordinates, they don't seem to be from the Central Plains. The subordinates overheard their communication. The accent is a bit like that of Liaodong."

"It's over there in Liaodong."

Hearing his subordinate's reply, Xie Qian was relieved, but also a little regretful.

My little ancestor had no contact with Liaodong people, and there were no Liaodong people under his command. It seemed that I really misunderstood him this time.

As for why he regretted it again, only Xie Qian himself knew.

He waved his hand to let the two of them retreat. Just as Xie Qian was about to send someone to send Yan Shenggong back first, the spies he sent hurried back.

"Bachelor Xie, something happened, money and people are gone."

"what!"

Xie Qian was startled, and quickly asked, "What's going on, aren't you following behind? Why did you lose track of me?"

Xie Qian was speechless. Before the army arranged over there came over, the people following him lost him.

"No, we have been following well, but when we passed a cliff and turned, we were afraid of being discovered by them, so we waited for a while, but when we rushed over, there were only carriages left on the spot, people and All the money in the carriage is gone."

"Damn it, take me there!"

Hearing that people and money were gone, Xie Qian was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.

It was finally nothing to do with His Highness, so he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the army would catch up and bring the money back later, and it would be over after dealing with the robbers.

In the end, it didn't take long, damn, not only did the money disappear, but even the robbers disappeared.

The location where the person and the silver were lost was not far from Xie Qian's place, less than five miles away.

The horse galloped all the way, daring to reach the place where the money and people were lost.

This is a C-shaped cliff road, with a [-]-meter-high cliff on one side and a high cliff on the other.

Dozens of empty carriages parked here, and the horses flicked their tails boredly, chewing the weeds around them.

The spies sent by Xie Qian, except for the one who went back to report, were searching around.

"Have you found it?"

As soon as he arrived at the place, Xie Qian asked quickly before he got off his horse.

The spy officer who led the team pointed in a direction with an ugly face.

Xie Qian hurriedly dismounted and ran over.

This is the side of the cliff, and a dozen ropes are nailed here, and the other end of the rope hangs down to the bottom of the cliff.

Below the cliff is a small river with a width of nearly 10 meters. The flow of the small river is not too fast, but it is enough for boating.

"asshole!"

Looking down the stream, Xie Qian understood the other party's plan when he saw that the river was not far away and turned into the mountain.

The gangsters brought the money here, and then prepared several boats or bamboo rafts below.

If someone follows behind, at this corner, the follower will definitely not follow up immediately in order not to be exposed.

The gangsters counted on this opportunity and sent the money down with a rope.

Although 80 taels of silver is a lot, if the other party prepares more manpower, a short time will be enough.

When the silver is loaded onto the boat or bamboo raft, it goes directly into the mountain along the current.

As for the imperial court, even if they found out later, it would be too late.

It's useless to send troops to search along the water source, where to look in the vast mountains, and when they find the traces left by the enemy, they will have already run away and disappeared.

"Ugh!"

Xie Qian sighed deeply, he was too passive.

Although he had lost hope in his heart, Xie Qian still ordered the army to rush along the river to see if he could find any clues.

After finishing the arrangements, he returned to the place of the transaction, intending to escort Kong Hongtai, Yansheng Gong, back first.

But as soon as he returned to the trading point, Kong Hongtai's personal butler found him and said that Kong Hongtai had something important to discuss with him.

Xie Qian thought the other party was asking if the villain had been caught and if the money had been recovered.

However, when he got into the carriage, before he could say anything about his current situation, Kong Hongtai, who had recovered a little, grabbed his hand.

"Bachelor Xie, I know who is behind the scenes, you must uphold justice for me."
