At three o'clock in the morning, King Gong led his people back to Erdu Bridge.

"Your Majesty, the water here is indeed a bit muddy." Tang Qingqing said after dismounting.

King Gong was sure there was something wrong here, so he personally took people into the water to check. Sure enough, the box was found in the muddiest part of the water.

"it's here!"

The boxes were tied with hemp ropes, just like the ones moved down by the people who had just closed down the mansion.

"Move it up first!" King Gong was a little excited.

Although Shi Wenxi was not caught, he successfully intercepted the ransom, which can be regarded as a great achievement.

When he arrived at the shore, King Gong opened one of the boxes and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the gold bricks.

He was instantly confident and said with a slightly proud tone: "Bring all the boxes up and prepare the carriage."

"Your Majesty, there are traces of heavy objects being dragged on the opposite bank." Someone came to report.

King Gong was full of confidence, "It must be Shi Wenxi who is transferring the ransom. You guys continue to move the boxes. The others follow me!"

At the same time, outside the city, Xia Rui and Lan Jue finally found several holes in the grass near the crime scene, which contained the missing dowry.

"Have you checked it correctly? How much is the total?" Lan Jue asked.

Xia Rui: "Eighty lifts, no more than one."

Everyone quickly loaded their things onto the carriage and quickly returned to the city.

But Capt. Zhang changed his direction halfway: "It's so easy to find these dowries. It's like they were deliberately thrown here for us to find out. Shi Wenxi is not an ordinary little thief. Since he gave up so much dowry, he must have something." For other purposes, he must be determined to get the ransom. The auspicious wedding is the critical moment for him to escape and transfer the ransom. The land routes are blocked by us, and the water route is the key. I have to find him."

Wen Ying: "I'll go with you."

Lan Jue asked Xia Rui to return to Guan Mansion first with the dowry, and he followed Wen Ying and Zhang Baotou.

The troops are divided into two groups, and the time of Unity is coming.

When Xia Rui came to the gate of Guan Mansion with all the dowry, he happened to see four beggars carrying a big red sedan chair.

Butler He also rushed back at this moment.

Guan Yuansheng came out after hearing the news and happened to see the complete bride and dowry.

Although the guests and the people didn't know why it was the beggars carrying the sedan, it didn't stop them from watching the fun.

"Master Guan really loves his new wife. He carried her on his back as soon as he got off the sedan chair."

"After all, she is the eldest lady of Dongzhou City. There are many young talents who could not marry women even if they wanted to, but we, the customs officers, married them outside. Of course, it will hurt."

"This is the first time I've seen such a dowry. It's no wonder that Mr. Guan, who has been single for many years, is also moved."

Butler He was a very discerning person and had people hand out wedding cakes at the door, diverting everyone's attention.

The moment Nan Xi saw Guan Yuansheng walking in with the bride on his back, he walked over and took hold of Du Yunhe's wrist without leaving a trace. After taking her pulse, he quietly fed her a pill, and then it was almost gone. Cha nodded towards Guan Yuansheng.

"It's auspicious time!"

Du Yunhe woke up slowly and got off Guan Yuansheng's back.

She didn't know what was going on, so she subconsciously reached for the hand of the person next to her, only to find that it was not her dowry maid or wet nurse.

Nan Xi handed one end of the red silk into Du Yunhe's hand and said softly: "Madam, it's time to pay your respects."

"Bow to heaven and earth!" The master of ceremonies shouted loudly.

Guan Yuansheng gently held Du Yunhe's hand. Only he could give Du Yunhe a sense of security at this time.

The two turned around and kowtowed.

"Two thanks to the high hall."

Guan Yuansheng's parents have passed away many years ago, and their memorial tablets are placed in the high hall.

"Happy husband and wife."

"Send to the bridal chamber!"

Nan Xi held Du Yunhe's hand and led the housekeeper to the new house.Guan Yuansheng stayed and continued to greet the guests.

In the bridal chamber, Du Yunhe sat on the wedding bed and asked through the red hijab: "Who are you? Where are my maid and nanny?"

Her tone was somewhat questioning.

This situation made her somewhat panicked.

Nan Xi also understood and asked her: "Madam, don't you remember what happened before?"

Du Yunhe naturally remembered it and said in a deep voice: "I drank the tea handed over by the wet nurse and then passed out."

The reason why she was in a hurry to find a nanny.

She would never tolerate such betrayal.

Nan Xi: "All the people who came with you to marry are dead. Someone kidnapped you. The customs officer spent 500 million taels of gold to redeem you. Don't worry, you were just drugged. It’s no big deal.”

Du Yunhe stood up suddenly, subconsciously reaching out to remove the hijab, but his hand froze in mid-air and paused again.

She took a deep breath and asked, "Have you caught the murderer?"

"Not yet." Nan Xi shook his head: "Master Jingzhao Yintang suspects that it is Shi Wenxi, the notorious thief from many years ago."

Du Yunhe pondered for a moment, and his tone was much gentler than before, "What's your name?"

"Nan Xi, the official of the government office." Nan Xi said.

Du Yunhe nodded slightly: "Miss Nan, can you please call my husband?"

"it is good."

Nan Xi opened the door and asked the people outside to find Guan Yuansheng.

After they left, she closed the door, turned back to Du Yunhe, and checked all the food and drinks on the table.

Du Yunhe heard the voice and asked, "What are you doing?"

The voice was a bit wary.

Nan Xi chuckled and explained: "Madam, don't worry, I'm not a bad person, but Shi Wenxi hasn't been caught yet. Just in case, I have to check."

After confirming that everything was OK, Nan Xi turned to look at Du Yunhe: "Madam is so vigilant, how could she fall into other people's traps?"

She could see that Du Yunhe was not someone who trusted others easily.

Du Yunhe: "I lost my mother when I was young, and my father was busy with official duties. It was my nanny who raised me up. She is like my biological mother to me, and she is the person I trust most besides my father."

But it happened to be her nanny who gave her the drug, putting her in danger.

After Guan Yuansheng arrived, Nan Xi left.

Return to the front yard and leave with Li Qingmo.

"Master, are we just leaving?"

"Tang Qingxin came to report that King Gong was injured."

At the back door of Guan Mansion, Guan Yuansheng and Du Yunhe were also there.

Du Yunhe, who had taken off his hijab, lacked the shyness and beauty of the bride, and his slightly frowned brows were a bit heroic.

"Your Majesty, Yunhe said he wanted to see those corpses." Guan Yuansheng said.

Only then did Du Yunhe know Li Qingmo's identity, and he saluted: "A civilian woman has met the regent."

"No courtesy." Li Qingmo turned around and helped Nan Xi get into the carriage: "Let's go."

Du Yunhe's eyes fell on Nan Xi again, and he had a new definition of the identity of this gangster.

At three o'clock in the morning, two carriages stopped in front of the Yinfu Yamen in Jingzhao.

The four people got off the car and walked in hurriedly.

"Are you that gangster?" Gong Huijun came over just after getting the news, and stopped Nan Xi directly: "They said you have great medical skills? Go and show my father, you must cure him!"
