Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 50 Looking for help
Xu Beiting looked at the leaving carriage, and the things in his hands fell to the ground.

The person who was dragged into the carriage just now seems to be Miss Lu. What's going on?

He didn't have time to think so much, he snatched the carriage next to him, dropped a few taels of silver and chased after him.

"Hey, why do you grab other people's things so casually? Who cares about your silver!" The peddler looked at the broken silver in his hand and cursed loudly at the leaving carriage.

In the end, the peddler put the few taels of silver in his pocket, it was better than nothing.

Xu Beiting drove the carriage to the corner of Xuening Hall and stopped, watching Lu Nanzhi and Lu Qinghe being brought in.

In Xuening Hall, Liu Qingyan brought the two of them into a secret room, and asked the maid to tie Lu Nanzhi to a pillar and Lu Qinghe to a chair.

After finishing these things, the servant girl retreated behind her.

Liu Qingyan sat on the chair, took a sip of the tea prepared at the table, and quietly waited for the sleepy person to wake up.

Lu Qinghe was trembling with fright, and said in a trembling tone: "Please let me go, please, you have already caught Lu Nanzhi, so let me go!"

"If you say one more word, I'll cut your tongue." Liu Qingyan said impatiently.

Lu Qinghe shut her mouth instantly, she knew that this woman was not joking, but would really do it.

Lu Nanzhi woke up quickly, opened his confused eyes, looked at the strange space in front of him, and the people sitting there drinking tea leisurely, without any panic on his face.

"I don't know what to call the girl, but you opened the Xuening Hall?" Lu Nanzhi's tone was very calm, as if she wasn't the one who was tied up.

Liu Qingyan frowned, "I thought you would struggle, yell, and beg me for mercy, but I didn't expect you to be so calm."

Lu Nanzhi pursed his lips tightly, and said in a low voice, "Tell me why you invited me here? Is it just for the formula?"

"Of course I only want the formula, otherwise you have something worthy of me? As long as you hand over the rouge formula, I will let you go, how about it?" Liu Qingyan put down her teacup, got up and came to Lu Nanzhi.

Lu Nanzhi couldn't help chuckling, "It's ridiculous that the most dignified Rouge Workshop in the capital would be so rare about my formula."

Lu Nanzhi's sarcasm made Liu Qingyan feel humiliated, her face darkened, and she snorted coldly: "If this is the case, don't blame Miss Ben for being cruel!"

"Oh? I want to see what you can do to me?" Lu Nanzhi was not afraid of Liu Qingyan's threat at all.

"Give her some color." Liu Qingyan ordered with narrowed eyes.

The servant girl walked towards Lu Nanzhi, and gently stroked her neck with the knife holder, and the blood dripped on the ground in an instant.

Lu Nanzhi took his time and glanced at her calmly, "Even if you guys kill me, it's nothing more than a bamboo basket fetching water in the end."

Liu Qingyan laughed back angrily: "A dead duck with a stubborn mouth, let's starve you for three days first, and see how long you can hold your tongue."

Liu Qingyan turned and left with her maid.

After Shen Lanze was busy with the things in hand, he remembered that he hadn't seen Lu Nanzhi all day, and he didn't see anyone after searching around. It wasn't until night that Aunt Lu realized that Lu Qinghe was gone.

The members of the Lu family gathered together again. This was after the separation, they sat down to discuss things together.

Shen Lanze said first, "I've already looked for places in the capital, but they all said I've never seen Nanzhi."

"Could it be that he was kidnapped? It's said that the big tree attracts the wind. It's possible that Nanzhi acted too much and got Qing He involved. What should we do?" Third Aunt Lu kept yelling anxiously.

"What do you mean by that? Didn't Qinghe work with you all the time? You guys didn't take good care of your daughter. Don't blame others." Lu Jinghuai was very anxious when he heard that his daughter was missing. Hearing Aunt Lu's slander , his expression became angry.

When Third Aunt Lu saw the man with bulging veins, she couldn't help but retreated behind Third Uncle Lu in fear.

Grandma Lu was very irritable. When she heard the quarrel between the two, she knocked on the ground a few times with a cane.

"You guys are not finished yet. The most important thing now is to find someone. What's the use of you guys arguing here!"

Hearing Grandma Lu's words, both of them fell silent. Although they had been in the capital for some time, they were unfamiliar with the place here, so who could they ask for help.

Just when everyone was worried, Shen Lanze suddenly stood up.

"I'm going to find my old acquaintances in the capital to see if I can help."

The eyes of all the writers fell on him instantly, and there was a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

That's right, why didn't they expect that Shen Lanze used to be from the capital anyway, and he was also the grandson of the Taifu. His grandfather must have many old acquaintances in the capital.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Grandma Lu suddenly called him, "Lan Ze, wait a minute."

Granny Lu came to him with a cane, and took out a cloth bag from her pocket and put it in his hand, "You need money to find someone to do something with, so you take the money first, and if you don't have enough money, tell grandma."

Grandma Lu firmly believes that Lu Nanzhi is a blessed child. Without her, how could the Lu family develop so well in the capital. No matter what, she can't have any accidents, otherwise the Lu family may fall into ruin.

"Grandma, I don't need this money. You keep it, and I will try my best to rescue Nanzhi." Shen Lanze pushed the money back, patted Grandma Lu's hand and turned to leave.

Everyone in the Lu family couldn't help sighing, and prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that the good people in Nanzhi would have good luck and come back safe and sound.

Shen Lanze came to Mr. Jiang's mansion in the household servant's mansion that night. Mr. Jiang was reading in the study. When he heard the report from his servant, he immediately said, "What are you doing in a daze, please invite him in."

Shen Lanze was invited to the study, Master Jiang rushed to meet him, "Young Master Shen, what happened and you need my help?"

"I want to ask Mr. Jiang for help with something." It was the first time Shen Lanze asked for help, and he couldn't help smiling awkwardly, and added: "Shen owes you a favor."

Mr. Jiang waved his hands again and again, "Mr. Shen, why are you so polite? If you really have anything to ask, I will definitely try my best to help!"

Shen Lanze was very satisfied with Mr. Jiang's attitude, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Shen thanked Mr. Jiang here first."

"What's the matter?"

Lord Jiang knew Shen Lanze's character, even if something happened to him, he would not speak up easily, let alone visit him at this time, there must be some big trouble that he couldn't solve.

"Lu Nanzhi suddenly disappeared in the capital, can I trouble Mr. Jiang to help me find it?"

Mr. Jiang was a little surprised by his words, and asked again after a while: "Mr. Shen is here this time because he wants me to help you find someone?"

"Yes." Shen Lanze nodded.

"It's easy to say! Easy to say! Please rest assured, Mr. Shen, I will naturally go all out to find Miss Lu!" Master Jiang agreed heartily.

Mr. Jiang has always admired Taifu Shen, and he is very fond of this young and promising Shen Lanze. There is no reason for him to stand idly by when Mr. Shen is in trouble.

Shen Lanze's face showed joy when he heard the words, and he stood up and saluted solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

Mr. Jiang repeatedly raised his hand to support him, and said with a smile: "Why do you need to be so indifferent? You go back and wait for the news, and I will send someone to investigate immediately!"

"Okay, Mr. Lao Jiang." Shen Lanze stood up and left with cupped hands.
