Ordinary people rarely buy a double-driving mule cart.
Firstly, it is more laborious to feed two animals. Secondly, it is not convenient for double-driving mule carts to pull work. Rich families who can afford the use of double-driving mule carts basically have them in their own homes. Ordinary people may not even have a donkey cart. I'm willing to sit down.
Qiu Jun didn't even need to go to the city to inquire, so he told all the three households in the city that had a mule cart.
He drove and took Shen Tianshu to look for people one by one.
The first family's car was at home and they didn't go out all day; the second family took an old lady out of the city to burn incense in the temple. She left early in the morning and hasn't come back yet.
This leaves only the last one.
But Qiu Jun hesitated and said: "Girl, although the last family has a mule cart, this man is nearly six feet tall and a dark-faced strong man. He doesn't fit the type of person the girl is looking for, right?"
Shen Tianshu felt cold when he heard this. Could it be that he had made a wrong guess?
She hurriedly asked: "Are you sure these three families are the only ones in the city who own mule carts? Could they be people from outside?"
Qiu Jun hurriedly said: "Maybe someone rented his car to use. Let's go over and have a look!"
Everyone rushed to the door of the last house, but unexpectedly the door was locked.
Fan Yuru's guards climbed up to the wall nimbly, looked into the courtyard, jumped down and said: "Sir, there is no one in the courtyard, and the car is not here either."
"Then go to your neighbor's house and ask..."
"Wait a minute." Before Fan Yuru could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Tianshu. She lifted the car door curtain, gave Qiu Jun a purse full of copper coins and said, "Go and ask around to see what is going on with this person. Did anyone see him driving out today?"
After she finished speaking, she explained to Fan Yuru with an apologetic look on her face: "Qiu Jun is a local. He doesn't stand out, and it's easier to get him to talk."
Fan Yuru nodded repeatedly and said, "I was negligent."
Qiu Jun was very skilled at gathering information, and he quickly got the information from his neighbors.
"Double mule cart? Oh, you're looking for Wu Hai, right? He's not at home. He drove out early in the morning."
"Auntie, do you know where he went? I got an urgent job here, and the owner asked for a double mule cart. Where can I get such a good thing? I can't only come to Brother Wu Hai for this, today If we can’t decide, this business will be ruined, and I’ll be dying of anxiety!”
As he spoke, Qiu Jun handed the neighbor's aunt a few coins and begged: "Auntie, you are neighbors. Please think about it for me, what can he do?"
The aunt held the copper plate, smiled happily, and tried to think for a while before saying: "Don't tell me, he seems to have gone out with Xiao Liuzi today, so he shouldn't be going to pick up a job. He never takes Xiao Liuzi with him when he goes out to drive a car, otherwise Are you going to visit Xiaoliuzi’s house?”
"Who is Xiao Liuzi?"
"Hey, he is Wu Hai's friend. The two of them always stay together. Xiao Liuzi lives in the second or third building in the third row at the northwest corner. When you get there, ask around and ask for Liu Zi. If you stutter, people will know."
After receiving the news, Qiu Jun thanked him profusely and was about to leave. Suddenly, he had an idea and asked one more question: "Auntie, how tall is Xiao Liuzi?"
"Hey, his head isn't as tall as Wu Hai's. He's about the same height as you. He's a little shorter than you."
Qiu Jun himself was exactly five feet three inches tall. He was very excited when he heard this and immediately went back to report: "Girl, maybe it was Xiao Liuzi who was driving the car at that time, not Wu Hai.
When Shen Tianshu learned of the situation, he immediately said: "Go to the northwest corner now and look for Xiao Liuzi!"
In the northwest corner of Yongzhou City, the houses are low and dilapidated, the roads are narrow, and there are twists and turns. This is where the poor in the city gather.
In a dilapidated house with air leakage everywhere, Shen Yunyao, Shen Yunhui and three maids were all tied with their hands behind their backs.
Shen Yunhui had already stained her makeup from crying, and the three maids were crowded together. Only Shen Yunyao was calm and composed, as if she was sure that the other party would not do anything to her.
But looking at the dirty room, she still frowned in disgust. Wasn't this too much for acting?
It’s not like I don’t have any money, so why can’t I find a cleaner place?
Just when she was disgusted, there were footsteps outside.
"How's it going? Did someone come from their home to send money?"
"No, no."
The dilapidated house is well ventilated, and Mingyu can clearly hear the conversation between the two people outside. The one who stutters a little is the driver who brought them here today.
"Can it be done? Maybe their family doesn't want to pay, right? I said before that there's no point in getting a few videos of girls. If you want to catch them, you should catch them."
"Brother, something, something doesn't seem to be right!" The more anxious the coachman became, the more awkward his words became. "I, after I handed the handkerchief to that person, because I didn't feel at ease, I followed him. , How can I see him entering, entering the prefect’s Yamen!"
"What did you say?"
Before he finished speaking, the door of the room was kicked open with a bang. The black-faced man who just tied everyone up and locked them up here walked in, stared at the few girls in the room and asked: "Which family are you girls from?"
"Our girl is..." Mingyu felt bad and spoke first.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yunhui's energy was already stretched to the limit at this time. As soon as he heard the other party's question, he shouted like crazy: "My father is Shen Zhonglei, the prefect of Yongzhou. You dare to tie us up. You really have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. I Dad will never let you go!"
"What?" The black-faced man was completely confused. "Is he really from the prefect's family?"
"Yes, that's right, from the prefect's family! You'd better send me back obediently, otherwise my father will never let you go - wu wu -"
The driver looked horrified and asked: "Brother, are we letting others plot against us? Now, what should we do now?"
The black-faced man's triangular eyes drooped, and he said coldly: "In this case, then just kill the person and let's go up the mountain to join your uncle!"
The coachman grinned when he heard this: "Hey, well, that's good, my uncle has been wanting to recruit you for a long time!"
Shen Yunhui was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak anymore. She shrank and hid behind a few maids.
Shen Yunyao was also surprised, a little confused as to whether the other party was serious or just acting.
She frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Don't worry, my family will definitely use the money to redeem us. Then wouldn't it be better if you took the money and flew away."
"Bah, shut your mouth!" The black-faced man spat on Shen Yunyao's face and cursed, "If it weren't for you, a vicious-hearted little bitch, I wouldn't be in this situation."
A mouthful of thick yellow phlegm smeared on her face. Shen Yunyao was so sick that she almost fainted on the spot. She tilted her head to the side and retched, and tears flowed out involuntarily.
Mingyu heard the hidden meaning in the other party's words at this time. No wonder she just felt that something was wrong with Shen Yunyao. Being kidnapped in such a place, with Shen Yunyao's temperament, whether she was crying or swearing, , all normal.
She was unusually calm and silent today, and she didn't show too much fear.
But Mingyu really couldn't figure it out, why did Shen Yunyao do this?
Before she could figure it out, the other party couldn't wait to take action.
"We can't delay any longer. Get the people done quickly. Let's leave the city right now."
As the black-faced man spoke, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and slowly walked towards Shen Yunyao.
