It was just dark on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it seemed that the entire capital was crowded into the streets to celebrate the festival.
There are huge crowds and bright lights.
Various lanterns illuminate the streets dazzlingly.
Jia Rong and his party were just wandering around the commercial street in Xicheng.
The four little girls, Sanchun and Lin Daiyu, have long been attracted by the dazzling lanterns on both sides of the street, and their eyes are shining brightly.
Even Phoenix Egg, who had been making noises, also stopped at this time.
After a brief discussion with Qin Keqing, the little girls and Little Luobotou got out of the car directly and enjoyed the lantern viewing under the protection of the female guard.
They are all little carrots, the oldest Yingchun is only eight years old, so there is no need to be too cautious.
Jia Rong and the other eighteen strong guards expanded the protective circle and patrolled constantly.
When you meet an acquaintance, you can just nod your head and show no intention of joining in the fun.
"Stop, let's talk about you!"
A man dressed as a servant, holding a sleeping child in his arms, was walking nimbly among the bustling pedestrians, cars and horses.
The path this guy took was often in a direction that passers-by could easily ignore.
While walking quickly not far from Jia Rong, he stopped him with a loud shout.
"Sir, what do you do for a living?"
The man stopped, gently shook the child in his arms, and said urgently: "My young master has fallen asleep and must be sent back to the house to rest as soon as possible!"
The passers-by just stopped for a moment and saw that there was nothing strange about the servant and the sleeping child in his arms, so they continued to play and enjoy the lanterns.
Damn, your mental quality is quite state-run.
Jia Rong didn't reply. He flicked the riding whip in his hand, and like a dancing snake, it instantly hit the acupuncture point on the guy's body.
It was not as exaggerated as in martial arts novels. The man just felt numb, and then he and the sleeping child in his arms were lifted up by Jia Rong.
"Which family's master is so careless that he only arranges for one servant when he comes out to watch the lanterns? Are you trying to trick me?"
Jia Rong's eyes were cold, and he handed the child from the man's arms to the guard who followed him, completely ignoring the man's expression that instantly turned pale.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, a group of soldiers and horses from the Five Cities Army who had just patrolled from the front saw Jia Rong riding on a tall horse and suddenly made a move. They were frightened and came over.
The surrounding passers-by also reacted at this time, and gave way to the road to surround the area. Although they did not dare to confront Jia Rong directly, they also vaguely blocked all exits.
Jia Rong is dressed in brocade robes and has a tall and powerful body. He is followed by strong guards. He knows at a glance that he is not easy to mess with.
"Nothing, just caught a kidnapper!"
Ignoring the strange looks from passers-by around him, Jia Rong got off his horse and faced the group of troops from the Five Cities Army. He threw the crutch he had in his hand over and said leisurely: "This guy, how dare you pretend to be someone from a certain government?"
The servants here don’t want to see if they are pretending to be cool or not?”
The officers and men of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division who rushed over in a hurry hurriedly took the bad guy who was thrown over. The leading officer came over and asked in a low voice: "Are you General Jia of Ningfu?"
"You recognize me?"
Jia Rong was a little surprised, but didn't look strange at all.
The officer chuckled and took the initiative to introduce himself: "I am from Changning Marquis Mansion. I have met the general several times before!"
Just kidding, working as an errand in Xicheng, a city where powerful people gather, how could you not memorize the "Heroes" by heart?
In addition, you must have a discerning eye, otherwise you may offend a big shot without even realizing it.
Jia Rong smiled softly, pointed at the child being held by his guard, and said coldly: "This child didn't react at all to such a big movement!"
The guard holding the child hurriedly explained: "Master, this child was knocked unconscious. I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while!"
The officers leading the troops from the Wucheng Army and Horse Division changed slightly when they heard this. They used the bright lights to see clearly the brocade clothes on the child, and their hearts sank.
He and several of his younger brothers went forward to check and found that the child had indeed been knocked unconscious. Naturally, the truth came out.
When passersby around knew the result, there was naturally a commotion.
Again, a kidnapper is much more hateful than a robber who kills people and loots goods.
At least, robbers kill people openly and openly, but the actions of kidnappers can plunge a good family into endless pain.
The movement here naturally attracted the attention of Lin Daiyu and Sanchun.
Naturally, the guards from the Ning Mansion went to report to Qin Keqing, telling them not to worry, and since they were out, just have fun and don't leave any regrets.
"Thanks to General Jia, I was saved a lot of trouble this time!"
The leading officer of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division called on his younger brother to take over the kidnapper and the child, while he kept saying thank you to Jia Rong.
It's not a cliche. The child who was knocked unconscious was about three or four years old. He had white, tender eyebrows and delicate facial features. He could tell at a glance that he was a child of a wealthy family.
Maybe, he might be a direct descendant.
Once a big family gets into trouble, and if the other party has a lot of background, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will naturally not be able to take advantage of it.
For example, the leading officer in charge of the Xicheng area may not only be dismissed, but may even be directly transferred to the bench, and his career will never be bright.
"Don't be so quick to thank me!"
Jia Rong's eyes flashed and she said coldly: "It's really crazy today. Why are there so many kidnappers on one street?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode towards the onlookers, the riding whip flying in the air in his hand, like a snake spitting a message and lashing out at a middle-aged couple in simple clothes.
"Ouch, ouch, why do you hit someone?"
The two couples had no time to react. They were instantly knocked to the ground, wailing and rolling, and the child they were holding in their hands also fell.
The passers-by around were startled and subconsciously moved to both sides. Then when they looked at the two couples who loved to roll on the ground, their eyes suddenly became strange.
Before, the couple held a child in each arm.
At this time, the child fell to the ground but did not move at all, as if the noise around him did not exist.
Tsk, needless to say, they are two hateful kidnappers again!
"Go, arrest people!"
The leading officer of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division's face was as red as a pig's liver at this time, showing embarrassment and depression from the inside out.
It was like being slapped in the face by an invisible force, and he roared loudly without losing face.
"How about we do it together?"
Jia Rong shook his head secretly and smiled at the officer: "I have sharp eyes. It's difficult for those guys who behave abnormally to hide from my eyes!"
"After all, today is the Lantern Festival, so it's better to be careful..."
