There was only Kou Duan's body at the ruins, but his daughter was missing. Xu Zizhen was sure that she was abducted by Huang Yuan. The old scholar was courteous and polite and did not seem to offend anyone easily. He really couldn't think of anyone other than Huang Yuan.
No one else would do this.
Xu Zizhen stood up excitedly, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to Manchundang now!"
Liu Fengsui's face was filled with anger: "Brother, let's go together."
Xu Zizhen shook his head and said: "There are many wild animals in the mountains. You and Xiaomeng are here to look at the body of Mr. Dian Kou. It's enough for me to go alone."
Liu Fengsui wanted to speak again, and Xu Zizhen said again: "If it is really that Huang Yuanwai, I will kill him to avenge Mr. Kou. In this case, we will no longer be able to live in Kuizhou City, and you are the one anyway."
If you are teaching Xiao Meng in the mountains, why not just wait for me here? I will come here to find you after I rescue Mr. Kou’s daughter."
His words were unquestionable, so Liu Fengsui and Li Meng had no choice but to let him go alone. Xu Zizhen took advantage of the bright moonlight and hurried down the mountain and returned to Kuizhou City.
Before entering Xu, it was time for dinner. Xu Zizhen asked a random passerby and found out where Manchuntang was. He walked quickly in the direction the man pointed and saw the man in the distance.
There is a spacious store with eight doors on the street. The door panel is painted with shiny black paint. A row of large red lanterns hangs outside the door. A gold-lettered signboard hangs above the door with three big characters - Manchundang.
Xu Zizhen sneered secretly and did not go directly in. Instead, he walked around the Manchun Hall and observed it carefully.
Manchuntang is much higher than other shops, and it seems to stand out from the crowd. To his left is a restaurant. The window on the second floor along the street is right against the eaves of Manchundang. Xu Zizhen went straight to the restaurant without thinking.
I asked for a seat by the window and ordered a few dishes at random. When the waiter came down, he looked around and saw no one was around. He ducked out of the window and climbed up to the eaves of Manchun Hall against the outer wall.
It was dark, and although there were many people on the street, no one saw him. Xu Zizhen climbed back along the eaves, and saw that behind the main hall of Manchun Hall was a spacious courtyard with towering walls, forming a world of its own.
The courtyard was dark and silent, and behind the courtyard there was a tall building with eaves and animal ridges. Candlelight was faintly reflected in several windows. Xu Zizhen turned over and fell to the ground. He lowered his body and quickly walked towards the building without revealing any trace of his whereabouts.
, as clever as a civet.
Downstairs, at the east end is a living room. There is a faint sound of exchanging cups and cups. It is very lively. Outside the door, there are maids and servants coming in and out from time to time with plates and food. The doors and windows are open. Xu Zizhen looks for the opportunity and flashes to the window.
While looking inside, I saw that Huang Yuanwai was happily drinking wine with about ten people at the banquet. It was obvious that he had drunk a lot at this time, his whole face was red from drinking, and the five finger prints on his cheeks were still there.
, under the influence of alcohol, it turns red and purple, making it look particularly dazzling.
Xu Zizhen noticed that Huang Yuanwai was now wearing a brand new red robe, and there were more than a dozen thick red candles lit in the room, which looked very happy. At this time, someone at the table was holding a wine glass and saluted Huang Yuanwai again, smiling.
Said: "Exceptor Huang, I heard that the concubine you took in today is as beautiful as flowers and jade. I'm afraid your brother's body needs to be taken good care of!"
Officer Huang looked extremely proud and laughed loudly: "My old body is as strong as an ox, so why do I need to take care of it? Come on, come on, you and I will have three more drinks!"
Xu Zizhen gritted his teeth secretly, damn, that little girl was indeed kidnapped by him.
He originally wanted to rush in, but after hesitating, he decided to save people first. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he quietly left the hall and quickly went upstairs.
There was only one room in the entire upstairs that was illuminated by candlelight, which was very conspicuous in the dark night. As soon as Xu Zizhen came outside the room, he vaguely heard someone talking inside. He leaned down and gently opened the window to open a gap, and opened his eyes.
Looking at it, my heart suddenly became angry.
I saw that Kou Duan's daughter was indeed here, but now her hands and feet were tied, sitting on a bed covered with a bright red quilt, wearing a bright red wedding robe randomly on her body, and wearing a beaded crown crookedly on her head.
, with a handkerchief stuffed in his mouth, he couldn't move or scream at all. He could only open his beautiful eyes and look at the two women in front of him hatefully.
"Hey, little madam, my member Huang is a well-known and wealthy man in Kuizhou City. If you marry him, you will not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life!"
"Exactly, Huang Yuanwai is well-known as a man who cherishes flowers. Madam, you are so beautiful, and you will win the favor of Yuanwai. If we add another man to Yuanwai in the future, then the mother will be promoted to the position based on the price of the son.
An average wife will be rich and noble throughout her life."
The two women were both in their forties, and they were talking to each other with brows and saliva, obviously working very hard.
Kou Duan's daughter's eyes were full of anger, but she was unable to speak. However, she suddenly calmed down and nodded to the two women.
The two women were stunned, then overjoyed, and asked in unison: "My dear madam, have you agreed?"
Kou Duan's daughter nodded again, with a calm face and clear eyes. The two mothers-in-law were overjoyed and stood up and said, "In that case, please wait a moment, young lady, so that I can report to the officer." After saying that, they quickly walked out of the house, but
But he still didn't free her from her restraints.
Xu Zizhen stepped aside and waited until the two women had gone away before he came back. But as soon as he returned to the window, he suddenly saw the girl in the room struggling to stand up, looking at the table in the room, and banging her forehead against the corner of the table.
Go, Xu Zizhen was so shocked that he didn't even bother to leave the door. He jumped in from the window with both hands, jumped up and grabbed her before she hit the corner of the table. He fell to the ground with a thud and was beaten.
It took two rolls to stop.
The girl was horrified and just about to struggle, when she suddenly saw that the person rescuing her was Xu Zizhen. She felt as if she were seeing a relative, and large crystal tears rolled down her eyes.
Xu Zizhen patted her back gently and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." After saying that, he hugged her and sat back on the bed, and untied her.
Don’t be afraid! With just three simple words, the girl seemed to have found her backbone. Even though she was still in danger, there was no trace of panic or fear in her heart. As soon as the gauze in her mouth was removed, she became anxious
He asked in a loud voice: "My benefactor, how is my father?"
Xu Zizhen's hand stopped, and his face became gloomy and scary. The girl was smart and understood immediately. Her face turned pale in an instant, and her body swayed as if she was about to fall. Xu Zizhen was so anxious that he caught her with his hands.
He said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to cry, hold it in!"
The girl gritted her silver teeth and nodded heavily, but the tears in her eyes could not be stopped and rolled down.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and Huang Yuanwai's proud voice came from outside the door: "Little beauty, I'm coming too!"
