Chapter 126 The Bizarre Kidnapping Case The old lady and her son, Chen Kaiqi, the resident envoy of the Dashun Dynasty in the Western Knot, had just finished speaking and were about to turn around and leave when they saw a servant running over in a hurry.
Out of breath, he said: "Old lady, Jiedushijiedushi, big... people, something serious has happened. Little... young... young master, was... kidnapped!"
"Where is it?" The old lady was startled. After asking just two words, she fainted immediately.
"Old lady!" Everyone in the room looked at the messenger complainingly, calling the old lady nervously, pinching people, giving sugar water to others, and several girls who had always been favored by the old lady.
Even cried
In the middle of the courtyard outside, Zhenbei Hou left his seat on crutches and walked under the stage. Under everyone's astonished gaze, he had a gloomy old face and cursed angrily: "Niang Xipi! This guy deserves to be killed."
——”
Dingxihou was sitting at the table with an embarrassed look on his face. He didn't know how to comfort this old brother of the same level. He still had a little Jiujiu in his heart, that is, the marriage that Zhenbeihou had been pressing against could also be changed because of this.
Suspend the farce, at least, this old guy will not ignore priorities? So, he also looked worried and happy
Ouyang Xiao followed closely beside Dingxihou, sitting and watching the situation, but he was calm as usual. He thought: With the world under the emperor's feet, someone dares to kidnap the grandson of Zhenbeihou and the eldest son of Jiedushi? Of course someone will take his place.
The Marquis of Zhenbei makes the decision! And his main task is to protect the absolute safety of his master, the Marquis of Dingxi, so he doesn’t bother to care about his kidnapping, it has nothing to do with him.
At this time, everything inside and outside the courtyard was in chaos. The panicked people were in disarray. As a result, the originally festive birthday banquet broke up unhappily.
"Where is the second young master?" Chen Kaiqi came out from the west backstage and said angrily to his family, "Why can't he be seen? It's been three days since I came back and I haven't seen him or the young master. Don't they know the old lady's identity?
Sixtieth birthday? I can take the opportunity to come back from Xiguan, but they are so busy?! Such rebellious people should be taught a lesson by the kidnappers! Otherwise, I really don't know how high the sky is!"
"Master, please calm down!" the butler persuaded in a low voice, "Those kidnappers don't dare to offend me. The young master's life is still in their hands, so we can't..."
"What's going on?" Chen Kaiqi shouted, "I was guarding the border in Xiguan to protect the country, so why did I ever hesitate about my own life? That dog of mine, huh, is to blame!"
"How can you be so heartless and determined, and really risk everything?" The old lady woke up for some reason and ran over again, pointing at Chen Kaiqi's nose and said, "No matter how he fails to live up to expectations, he is still your flesh and blood!"
At this time, people from Dali Temple who had received the report arrived, and Ke Han was among them. He was walking in front, while Li Xiao and Zhang Jiadong, the first police officers in Kyoto, were following him.
"Dali Temple received a report that the grandson of the Duke of Zhenbei was kidnapped from the Chen Mansion in Kyoto?! Shi Ziheng, the first inspector of Dashun Dynasty, led two detectives and was ordered to come to investigate. Who is the parent?" Ke Han lit up.
He almost threw away the "Inspection Certificate" in his hand, and deliberately said loudly, "Please cooperate, okay?"
Chen Kaiqi reluctantly replied: "I am!"
"Oh, of course I know. This is just a procedure. Please don't be offended, Lord Jiedushi." Ke Han asked, "Excuse me, sir, when was the last time you saw...?"
Ke Han stumbled for a long time while speaking intentionally, unable to explain why.
"Are you asking Quanzi?" Jiedushi showed extreme dissatisfaction, and then told Ke Han in embarrassment and anger, "I'm sorry, I haven't seen Quanzi since I came back, but I was actually
Someone is kidnapped?! Sir Inspector, you should go to the crime scene to investigate, instead of staying here to interrogate some injured family members."
"Yes, what you said is absolutely true. However, we met someone on the way here who may be of interest to you!" Ke Han said, "He will tell us that all of this was premeditated!"
"Who?" Chen Kaiqi asked disdainfully
Ke Han turned around, snapped his fingers, and shouted to the courtyard door: "Come in"
Chen Kaiqi stared at the door of the courtyard and looked out. A familiar figure flashed in. He saw that the man was in rags and looked extremely wretched. He couldn't help but get angry and cursed: "You still have the nerve to come back?"
The person who came in was none other than his younger brother, Chen Kaidong, the second son of the Chen family.
Hearing his brother's angry rebuke, Chen Kaidong trembled all over, obviously a little timid. Then he shouted aggrievedly: "They beat me like this and asked me to come back to collect the ransom to ransom my nephew..."
"So you and Chen Yao have always been together?" Chen Kaiqi asked in surprise
Marquis Dingxi looked at Chen Kaidong with disdain. Although he was still a victim at this moment, it could be seen that his face was definitely not a kind person. If he betrothed his daughter to him, wouldn't his life be ruined?
"Now is not the time to blame him, sir!" Ke Han tried to persuade Chen Kaiqi and asked Chen Kaidong, "How much ransom do they want? Where can they redeem people?"
"Three, thirty thousand taels of gold!" Chen Kaidong said fearfully, "In a ruined temple in Dongcheng, they pressed hard and only gave me one stick of incense."
Everyone was astonished and looked at the incense stick that was also lit under the couplet "Shou" with great concern, and said in surprise: "Oh, more than half of this incense stick has been burned! It seems that it is almost the same as the time they gave.
?!"
Chen Kaiqi, who was talking about justice just now, was also a little anxious. However, on the surface, he still wanted to show his strength and hummed: "Thirty thousand taels? What a lion! The thirty thousand taels of gold gifted by the emperor have not yet been opened.
Well, are you going to give it away?"
"Compared to Yaoyao's life, it's nothing! Money is an external possession. Hey, let's just pretend that we didn't get the thirty thousand taels, and we agreed to save people!!" Zhenbei Hou said feebly.
Sighing, after all, I am old, now the world is dominated by young people, and the decision-making power is in their hands
"Okay, I'll go with you to meet those bastards!" Chen Kaiqi said angrily.
"No, please don't be impulsive. They won't let me bring people, otherwise they will break up the vote." Chen Kaidong quickly rejected Chen Kaiqi's request. He said in a panic, "You haven't seen their brutal and vicious appearance. I don't dare."
Ah! Also, this matter must not alarm the imperial court..."
"But, can you carry thirty thousand taels?!" Ke Han asked in surprise
"They asked me to bring a carriage over. Isn't it easy to carry this?" Chen Kaidong's mood seemed to gradually change. He slowly calmed down and asked, "The carriage, where is the carriage?!"
At this time, the servant quickly brought a horse, hitched the cart, and handed the reins to Chen Kaidong. At the same time, boxes of gold were transported out of the storage room and placed directly on the cart.
Everything was almost ready. Chen Kaidong clapped his hands, got on the carriage, waved to his brother and his parents, flicked his whip, and ran away.
"Don't you think this is a bit strange?" Ke Han approached Chen Kaiqi and analyzed, "First, 30,000 taels of gold? How could they just ask for 30,000 taels of gold? Do they also know that they have obtained the emperor's three gold coins?
A reward of ten thousand taels? I asked you to ask for it. Did you know that you would have this mentality? Just pretend that you have not received the reward in exchange for peace of mind? Secondly, although the clothes on your brother's body are torn, except for being a little dirty, there is almost nothing
The scars are all intact, and the messy hair looks a little bit rough; thirdly, when you proposed to go meet those bastards together, he was not happy or supportive, but he was very straightforward.
Anyone with a little common sense can feel that he seems to be strongly inclined to act alone without any help or support. When he leaves, it is more like saying goodbye than seeing you again!"
"Well, the Inspector's analysis makes sense!" Chen Kaiqi kept nodding his head, then suddenly realized, and said anxiously, "Hurry up and prepare your horse!"
Ke Han said to the two gods: "You stay here, maintain order, and protect everyone's safety. I will come as soon as I go!"
At this time, Jiedushi jumped on his horse, and Ke Han was as light as a swallow. He sat gracefully on the back of the small white dragon equipped in Dali Temple, and with a cry of "drive", it was like a bow and arrow leaving the string, and he joined Jiedushi.
One after another, there was no trace in an instant
Chen Kaidong drove the carriage at high speed. He did not dare to relax at all. He was thinking about how to resolve the cooperation dispute with Na Wanfang.
"Five thousand taels of gold buy him a pair of rags? It's too cheap for a beast like him! He has to provide them with food and drink! If it weren't for those gambling debts, who would have thought of this bad idea?" Chen Kaidong felt indignantly in his heart.
Thinking, "Hey, it's just that Xiaoyao is still kept in the dark. The money given to him last time was all counterfeit money. I'm afraid it has attracted attention? Hey, it has hurt him..."
"Kaidong, stop!" Suddenly, his brother's voice came from behind. Chen Kaidong was startled. He didn't dare to turn around and look. He clearly heard several horses chasing after him. He quickly whipped his whip and saw the horse.
The four hooves took turns to soar into the sky, raising a burst of mist, and Juechen flew forward!
"Coming, coming!" At the entrance of the ruined temple, Wan Fang bit into a fragrant chicken leg and shouted to the people inside, "You bastard, we're here! Ahe——"
Then, someone walked out. His face was covered by unkempt long hair, and he fiddled with it with his hands from time to time. A closer look revealed that it was the "kidnapped" Chen Yao.
Chen Yao walked out of the ruined temple. He leaned against the door full of holes. He even more exaggeratedly pulled a whole duck, bit it randomly, and cursed: "I won't go to that place. I will never go there again."
I am oppressed, I am free!"
After saying that, he threw away the whole uneaten duck without hesitation, and danced crazily with Wan Fang.
A group of people from the temple also came out and shouted, "It's so suffocating, this place is so stupid!"
Wan Fang and Chen Yao were tired from dancing. They stood side by side, stretched out their hands to put up an awning, and faced the approaching sound of horse hooves. They couldn't help but be horrified and exclaimed together: "A carriage can't pull such a big lift."
The dust and mist!”
"No, there's something wrong!" Wan Fang suddenly remembered something. He shouted, approached the ruined temple, asked his horseman to help him take out a crossbow, and aimed the arrow...
