Chapter 31 Stopping the Carriage

The shopkeeper Qian, who was rejected, had a normal expression, although not ugly, he was a little depressed.

When the boy saw that his shopkeeper had returned without success, he came over anxiously and asked in a low voice.

"Shopkeeper, what should we do next?"

"Should I report it to the official or should I pretend not to know?"

With two lives at stake, the Xiao family has obviously never seen those two girls.

If they reported it to the official, they would not have to go through an interrogation process, and they might even have to close Qingfeng Building for a few days.

"Of course I should report to the official immediately!"

Although shopkeeper Qian woke up, he still believed in benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust. He glared at the boy and sighed softly.

"I just hope everything comes in time."

In fact, the two of them had already reacted very quickly from discovering something was wrong. Now they were only delayed for about an hour in rushing to the county government office to report to the police. But they didn't know where the gangster took the two girls and what happened next.

What are your plans?

With the idea in mind, the boy helped shopkeeper Qian and trotted towards the county government office.

Just after running a few steps, there was a loud creaking sound from the Xiao Mansion door behind him.

They both turned around and saw that the closed door suddenly opened, and a small figure walked out of it.

Under the lantern hanging high at the door of the mansion, a little girl about five years old wandered out, with the two little ones on her head bouncing in the air, which was very cute.

The little concierge from before was closely behind her, looking anxiously in the direction of Shopkeeper Qian.

"Wait a minute, you two!"

Seeing that shopkeeper Qian and the boy were not far away, the little concierge called out anxiously, "My young lady wants to speak to you two."

Looking at the little girl who was no longer tall, Shopkeeper Qian was a little hesitant to look back. After all, the young lady was too young and she might not be able to understand so many things being said to her.

But there is no other way except to go to the government.

The Xiao Mansion didn't know why they asked this young lady to come out for questioning. This really left Monk Zhang Er, the shopkeeper, confused.

After hesitating again and again, he turned around and quickly returned to Su Qingtian, bowing with both hands.

"I'm the shopkeeper Qian of Qingfenglou. He's the boy in my shop."

At this time, two more servants came out carrying lanterns, and the door of Xiao's mansion was illuminated brightly for a while.

Su Qingtian looked up and down Shopkeeper Qian. The man was in his thirties, of medium build, with a hint of sternness all over his body, but there was a hint of kindness in his furrowed brows.

"Shopkeeper Qian came to my Xiao Mansion late at night to ask about the two girls in your store."

Su Qingtian put her hands behind her back as if she were an adult, and spoke nonchalantly in a thoughtful tone.

Shopkeeper Qian had not heard about the young lady of the Xiao Mansion and mistakenly thought that the concierge had informed the other party of his previous words.

He quickly asked, "That's true. I wonder if those two girls are visiting Xiao Mansion?"

"After all, they are guests in my store. Please give me some confirmation, young lady, so that I can go back and explain to their families."

The little concierge on the side was a little anxious.

He curled his lips, thinking how many times he would have to say this inexplicable nonsense before he stopped!

Since the young lady was nearby, he did not dare to curse.

"You guessed right, those two girls are indeed not in my Xiao Mansion."

Before shopkeeper Qian could speak, Su Qingtian got straight to the point, "It is true that someone pretended to be a soldier of the Xiao Mansion and took them away in the name of my Xiao Mansion."

"They are about to take people out of the city. It's not too late to start chasing them now."

Su Qingtian did know that Zhou Jingwan came to look for her, but she slept until now due to lack of physical strength.

After waking up and drinking lotus seed soup to warm her belly, the fate of Zhou Jingwan and the maid immediately appeared in front of her eyes.

She had no choice but to put down the remaining mouthful of lotus seed soup and hurried out.

"Go to the mansion and inform the soldiers on night watch to follow me to the city gate to rob people."

After Su Qingtian said to the little concierge, she turned to look at the boy in Qingfeng Building.

"Go to the Yamen to report the case, explain everything clearly, and also tell them that we went to the city gate."

"Shopkeeper Qian."

The man stared blankly at the little girl's clear arrangements, and when he was suddenly called, he immediately responded conditionedly, "Here you are!"

"You go with me."

Before the man could understand, Su Qingtian was already walking towards the city gate.

His small steps were fast and backward, as if he was trying to walk faster.

When shopkeeper Qian saw the little girl walking alone in the night, he quickly chased after her.

The porter and the boy who were left behind were still digesting Su Qingtian's order. They looked at each other and set off towards their respective mission points.

The little concierge ran all the way, and as soon as he reached the backyard, he met the night watch team.

"Brother Chen!"

The little porter gasped and looked at the captain Nie Chen, "Hurry up! The young lady left the house and headed towards the city gate. Hurry up and lead the people to chase her."

As he spoke, he kept pointing in the direction of the door.

Nie Chen frowned, and without waiting for the little concierge to explain too much, he immediately led his team of brothers out of the house and rushed towards Su Qingtian at the other end of the road.

The little miss is the treasure of General Xiao. Nie Chen, as the captain of the army, naturally knows that. He also understands that his little miss is different from other little babies and has something special about him.

The concierge did not explain why the young lady left the house in the middle of the night, but the most important thing for Nie Chen was to ensure the safety of the young lady, and finding the right person first was the key point.

Soon, a group of people caught up with Su Qingtian and Shopkeeper Qian at the entrance of Dongfang City East Street.

Nie Chen blocked the way of the two of them, and his vigilant eyes searched back and forth on Shopkeeper Qian.

"Little miss."

Nie Chen clasped his fists and lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "It's getting late, and the night is heavy. Please, young lady, come with us back home to rest early."

After hearing Nie Chen's words of dissuasion, Su Qingtian knew that the concierge had not told her what happened tonight.

But she was always too lazy to talk nonsense, so she pointed to a carriage walking slowly at the end of the street.

Su Qingtian said, "Stop that carriage, they are pretending to be Xiao Mansion and doing evil things!"

The young lady's words shocked Nie Chen. He stood up and looked towards the carriage in the dark.

It seems that it is indeed the frame of Fuzhong, but no one went out tonight.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, pretending to be the Xiao family and committing evil is extraordinary, so Nie Chen directly issued the order.

"Stop the carriage!"

Following the order, the soldiers behind him quickly chased the carriage in front.

I don't know whether this carriage did not want to attract attention or for other reasons. It did not speed on the open road, but drove slowly and slowly out of the city.

The soldiers immediately surrounded it and forced the carriage to stop.

When Nie Chen approached the carriage with the young lady in his arms, he was immediately shocked by the carriage frame in front of him that was exactly the same as his own.

Half an hour ago, Nie Chen personally checked the stables to make sure no one was out.

The groomsmen in the mansion also rested early, and the horses were all safe and sound in the stables.

It seems that just as the young lady said, the car frame in front of me came out of Xiao Mansion on purpose.
