A few desperadoes robbed a five-year-old boy and a young lady from a wealthy family. No one expected that they would alarm the monarchs and ministers in the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Li Zhi even dispatched the imperial guards from the palace.
The wind is blowing in all directions, and the flags are flying in the clouds.
Groups of Tang Dynasty cavalry rushed towards Weinan County urgently.
A huge storm is swirling the wind and clouds, and there is faint thunder in the sky.
In Ganjing Village, Li Qinzai became more and more anxious. People who searched all the way reported that they could not find the whereabouts of the criminal. After abducting people from Ganjing Village, the criminal seemed to disappear out of thin air, and no trace could be found.
No matter how angry or anxious his heart was, Li Qinzai still stayed in Ganjingzhuang.
He is waiting for someone.
Waiting for someone who commits a great death.
At midnight, the village was uncharacteristically brightly lit, and more than a hundred households were awake. Everyone gathered together to worry about the news about Qiao'er.
In terms of influence in Zhuangzi, Qiao'er is even more deeply rooted in people's hearts than Li Qinzai.
The "little gentleman" who was respected by everyone was taken prisoner, and no one in the farmer's family could sleep.
At that time, dogs barked and roosters crowed in the village, and a group of people came in from the entrance of the village.
The Li family's troops were escorting a man who was tied up with five flowers. This man's face was covered with bruises and scars. It was obvious that he had been severely beaten by the troops on the way here.
This person is none other than Weinan County Lieutenant Zhao Shiyun.
Zhao Shiyun no longer looked like a dignified official. He was tied up all over, his hair was disheveled and his clothes were messy. He only wore a white undershirt on a cold day, shivering in the cold wind, and his expression was full of fear and despair.
The tribesmen escorted Zhao Shiyun into the village and arrived in front of the Li family courtyard.
Li Qinzai had been pacing back and forth at the door. When he saw the person he had been waiting for arrived, he couldn't help but step forward quickly.
"Zhao Shiyun, where will the desperadoes you hired stay and hide? Tell me quickly!" Li Qinzai said in a hurried tone.
Zhao Shiyun was so frightened that his whole body shook like chaff.
Today, a group of people rushed into the Weinan County Government Office and tied him up without saying a word. The officers in the County Government Office deliberately tried to stop him. The group of people drew their swords and started to chop at him. After knocking over several people, the officers finally did not dare to move and watched helplessly.
The county captain was kidnapped by this group of people and fled away.
On the way here, Zhao Shiyun finally knew that he had gotten into a big trouble.
The few desperadoes he hired did not carry out his orders at all. Not only did they cause death and injury to members of the Li family, they even dared to kidnap the great-grandson of the British Duke.
This is a huge disaster!
However, Zhao Shiyun had trouble saying that because this was not his instruction at all. When he explained the desperadoes, he specifically ordered not to provoke the Li family and only kill Xu Yuanqing.:.
He forgot that desperadoes are desperadoes after all. They don't care about their own life or death. Do they still care about their employer's requirements?
The two men released Zhao Shiyun's hands. Zhao Shiyun's body softened and he knelt down in front of Li Qinzai, trembling and sweating like raindrops all over his body.
Liu Asi took a step forward, slapped him in the face with a whip, and shouted angrily: "Speak quickly!"
Zhao Shiyun screamed in pain, and then finally found his voice, tremblingly saying: "I, I... I don't know."
Li Qinzai raised his foot and kicked him hard in the face. Zhao Shiyun was kicked to the ground. Li Qinzai came close to his face, his tone was calm but murderous.
"Zhao Shiyun, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Tell me everything you know quickly, especially where they are staying. Otherwise, you and your family will die. If there is anything wrong with my son and that girl, I will
I guarantee that you and your family will not even die happily."
Zhao Shiyun was shocked, stood up in a hurry, knelt in front of Li Qinzai, and said with a tearful voice: "Li Shaolang, I really don't know where they are hiding. They are a group of desperadoes who have been wanted by various officials for many years. They act very cautiously and never do anything."
He will easily reveal his whereabouts to others."
Li Qinzai said coldly: "Do you think I believe it or not?"
Zhao Shiyun cried bitterly: "Li Shaolang, please spare your life. I really don't know. I... I didn't expect that the matter would be so serious. At the beginning, I only gave Xu Yuanqing's life. I specifically told them not to provoke the Li family. I... really
I didn’t expect that!”
Li Qinzai then asked: "Don't you have any clues about their accents, clothes, weapons, or any details that can reveal their whereabouts?"
"No, no, really not..." Zhao Shiyun cried loudly.
At this time, Zhao Shiyun was full of regrets. He really didn't expect that things would reach this point. Even if the incident came to light, he would be the only one who was beheaded.
However, at this time today, the situation is so serious that it is no longer just a matter of his personal life and death. If nothing happens, his whole family and three clans will be implicated.
Zhao Shiyun really regretted it. He wanted to slap himself in the face. He knew clearly that they were a group of desperate desperadoes that no one could control. How could he have the courage to hire them to do things?
Unable to get the desired result, Li Qinzai's eyes were filled with disappointment, and then he gradually became more and more irritable.
"Look! Mobilize all the people to look for him! I must find him if he goes to hell!" Li Qinzai roared angrily.
Staring at Zhao Shiyun with bloodshot eyes, Li Qinzai said in a cold tone: "Ah Si."
"exist!"
"Are you good at torture? Use all methods to pry his mouth open for me. If there is any clue about the criminal, you must find it for me. It doesn't matter if you hurt or mutilate your hands and feet. Just leave a breath.
good."
Liu Asi looked at Zhao Shiyun with eyes full of murderous intent, and said with a ferocious smile: "Although I don't know how, I can learn now, so let's try it with this offal."
Zhao Shiyun was shocked and kowtowed: "Li Shaolang, please spare my life. I really don't know. God can tell you. How can I dare to hide it at such a time?"
Li Qinzai had a cold face and let Liu Asi walk towards Zhao Shiyun step by step.
It can be seen from Zhao Shiyun's demeanor that he does not seem to have any clues. He is just a simple employer.
But Li Qinzai still didn't mind torture him, whether it was to vent his anger or take revenge, but he didn't want to see this enemy appear intact in front of him.
Thinking of Qiao'er and Cui Jie who were suffering somewhere, Li Qinzai's hands in his sleeves trembled slightly, and his heart ached.
Far away from the entrance of the village, the rumble of horse hooves suddenly came, and a cavalry team with torches galloped towards the entrance of the village.
Li Qinzai and everyone behind him stared at the cavalry.
The cavalry was huge and the torches were like a long dragon that never saw its end, winding along the continuous country road.
When the general at the head of the cavalry galloped in front of Li Qinzai, he saw that the general was wearing armor with a white swan feather on his helmet. He was clearly dressed as a palace guard.
"According to the emperor's decree, five thousand soldiers of the Youjinwu Guard are assisting Li Shaojian in searching for the whereabouts of your son. Please order Li Shaojian to dispatch him!"
…………
On the mountainside of an unknown mountain twenty miles away from Ganjingzhuang.
Cui Jie and Qiao'er were locked up in a simple temporary thatched house.
This house is located deep in a dense forest, with no roads from the outside to the inside. It is an inaccessible place.
It was also a temporary stop for several desperadoes.
The thatched house was also built haphazardly by them. Not only was it leaking from all directions, but the house was also crumbling. It was a typical dilapidated house.
After Cui Jie and Qiao'er were kidnapped, they were locked up in a house.
The four desperadoes knew that the two men had extraordinary status, but they did not mistreat them. After being captured for a long time, they still gave them water to drink and two pieces of dry food with a rancid smell.
Now that things have developed, several desperadoes are actually full of regret and fear.
After kidnapping Qiao'er and Cui Jie, they found out through Qiao'er's mouth that the person they kidnapped was actually the great-grandson of the British duke, and that the girl had a good background and was actually the daughter of the Cui family in Qingzhou.
After knowing their identities, it was already too late. They were already locked up in the depths of the jungle. It was unknown how terrible the situation outside was. Several desperadoes did not dare to let them go, let alone harm their lives.
With Cui Jie and Qiao'er in hand, they at least have a charm to save their lives in times of crisis. After all, no one knows what kind of violent reaction the British Guild will have.
The great-grandson of the hero of the three dynasties and the most famous general in the Tang Dynasty military was actually kidnapped by him through some strange combination of circumstances.
Damn it, how much trouble have you caused...
Outside the thatched house, four desperadoes sat blankly in the cold wind, looking at the dark mountains and forests around them in a daze.
Suddenly, the leading gangster raised his hand and slapped the other gangster hard.
"You bastard, you were the one who kidnapped these two people outside Zhuangzi. Do you know how much trouble you caused?" Provide you with the fastest updates and free reading.:.
