On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 67 Searching
  No matter what dynasty or generation, they all hate human traffickers. If they are caught, it is a narrow escape.

But this is also a hugely profitable industry, which makes people take risks.

Jiang Yu glanced at the girl who had fallen to the ground and had let go of him, and glanced at them indifferently: "How brave! Hand over everything you have on you."

He also learned a few tricks, but they mainly focused on strengthening his body. He was afraid that they would jump over the wall in a hurry, so he had no intention of sending them to the Yamen in a heroic manner.

His goal is very clear, just to study their medicine.

But Paihuazi obviously misunderstood what he meant.

Not only are you meddling in their own business, but you also want to rob them?

Hey, if you want to take advantage of others, just dream!

The two of them looked at each other, took out a paper bag with a tacit understanding, rushed towards him and raised his hand.

Jiang Yu held his breath when he saw this, and quickly went up to meet him, raising his fist.

The three of them were punching and kicking each other.

Soon someone ran over from behind. The woman was preoccupied and wanted to take the opportunity to escape. She cried: "Help, someone is robbing..."

Unfortunately, those who came over were young, thin, but very skilled boys. Seeing that his young master was being attacked, he immediately stepped forward and knocked them unconscious in no time.

Hou Er asked respectfully: "Sir, do you want to send the bad guy to the government?"

He is not a fool, that woman must be a thief who wants to catch a thief. She thinks that her young master is weak and wants to rob him.

Jiang Yu didn't pay attention to the boy's words, but squatted next to the woman and opened her belt...

Hou Er was shocked.

In broad daylight, my son actually did such a thing to another woman?
  No, it's dark now.

That's not right. No matter it's dark or not, the young master can't do such immoral things.

People say that their young master has a special hobby. He didn't believe it before, but now that he has seen it with his own eyes, even if he wants to lie to himself, he can't find a reason.

The young master was so blind that he left the young girl next to him alone and actually attacked the aunt.

So is he looking out for the wind, or...

Jiang Yu took out a paper bag from her arms, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and then searched the body of the man next to him.

The man only had a piece of black cloth wrapped in oil paper, which emitted a pungent smell when he opened it.

Jiang Yu also wrapped it back and put it in his arms, then looked at the boy: "Where is our carriage?"

"It's just outside. I'll hurry over here." Hou Er glanced at the young girl who was still lying on the ground, and couldn't help but ask again: "Is there really no need to report to the official?"

Jiang Yu nodded firmly: "I want to ask them something."

Hou Er quickly drove the carriage over. He first carried the middle-aged man and woman into the carriage, and then Xiao Xiu. After the young master got on the carriage, he drove the carriage away.

Jiang Yu also told Hou Er what happened by the way, and then thought for a while: "Send the girl to the Yamen directly. I'm afraid it will cause a big fuss and damage my reputation. Just wait until she wakes up and let her go back by herself."

"Please pay attention to what time she wakes up later."

Then he will know how long the medicine lasts.

"Yes!" Hou Er knew in his heart that his young master was really afraid of trouble.

Or maybe he's afraid of meeting the girl who promised to save his life again.

I also tried the medicine on someone else's girl.

Coincidentally, when he was carrying Xiaoxiu, a young woman carrying a basket passed by. She was shocked when she saw her, thinking that she had met a flower girl.

Hou Er was afraid that her shouting would cause trouble, so he explained calmly: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, my sister is dying, I will take her to see the doctor." The little woman still took a few steps back and hid far away. After the carriage left, I saw a lot of snacks scattered on the ground, so I couldn't help but walk over and pick up a lot.

What's more coincidental is that Jiang Yu and the others also live in the same inn as the Xiao family, and they also have a small courtyard. The gatekeeper at the back also knows Hou Er. When he saw them coming back, he quickly opened the door to let the carriage in.

On the other side of the courtyard, Mrs. Wu loudly greeted everyone to dinner.

Mrs. Liu also packed her luggage and came out to see Xiao Lian and Xiao Xiao talking to Dalang and the others. She asked in surprise: "Didn't you go out with Xiu'er?"

"Sister, have you gone out?" Xiao Lian asked quickly, "Where have you gone?"

Mrs. Liu had previously asked Xiao Xiu to buy food because she wanted to keep it in the car to cushion her stomach. Now that Lian'er asked in a carefree manner, she could only say vaguely: "Xiu'er said she wanted to buy some peanut cakes." Have you come to serve your grandfather a drink? It’s been almost two-quarters of an hour since you left home?”

Wu didn't take it seriously after hearing this: "Maybe he went to visit an embroidery shop."

Boss Xiao saw that it was already dark: "Da Lang, you and Er Lang go to greet your eldest sister."

He didn't think about Pai Hua Zi, but he was afraid that it would be dark and his daughter would be scared when she met those gangsters.

Xiao Dalang and Erlang responded and went out.

Xiao Lian pulled her sister to follow her: "Let's go together too."

They had gone shopping yesterday and lamented that Nancheng was so prosperous, with five pastry shops on one street.

Everyone asked, but no one saw their eldest sister.

Finally, when asked about the pastry shop where Xiao Xiu went to buy something earlier, the waiter still had the impression: "A girl came and bought three kilograms of peanut cakes and five kilograms of peach cakes, but she left long ago, so you must not have met them. Or maybe we got sidetracked.”

The four siblings hurried back.

It turned out that Xiao Xiu hadn't returned home yet. Now Xiao Boss couldn't sit still and stood up immediately: "Second brother, let's go look for him again."

Even in peaceful times, there is no shortage of children or young girls disappearing for no reason.

Similar things have been heard in the counties where he used to stay.

After the young woman disappeared, there was no news at all.

Some people also say that they have seen disappearing women in other places where fireworks occur.

But the woman would not admit it, and the woman's family would not admit it. They would only evade it by saying that their daughter died of a sudden illness.

In Nancheng, there are several famous fireworks places, and there are also quite a few less famous fireworks places.

At this moment, he was really chilled all over, fearing that something might happen to his eldest daughter.

Old Man Xiao only asked Liu and Sanlang to stay, while the others went together to find the person.

Xiao Xiao went out to look for someone with her second sister and Da Lang this time.

This time they were much more careful and began to search in the alley.

They walked to the place where Xiao Xiao's accident happened, and happened to see several children picking up and eating peach cakes scattered on the ground.

One of the seven or eight-year-old boy looked proud: "My mother picked up a lot of peanut cakes, but none of you have any."

When Xiao Xiao heard this, her heart tightened. She crouched down and looked at the big-headed and thin child, trying to force out a smile: "Your mother is so lucky. Have you ever seen anyone drop so many snacks?"

Although they are facing strangers, today's children are free-spirited and not afraid of people at all.

Moreover, Xiao Xiao is also kind. The boy sniffed and asked slyly: "Tell you, what good can I do?"

Xiao Xiao took out a silver bean from her purse: "Take me home to see your mother, and I will give you this silver. You can buy a lot of candies and a lot of candied haws."
