Chapter 1549 The county chief also wears a veil at home
Shen Wan wanted to go out to find Xiao Zi'an, but Hui'er was persuading Xiao Yi to report that Prince Yun was here.
Yun Luochuan was not there, so he took his people out to look for Xiao An.
Although Shen Wan really didn't want to see any guests at this time, she also knew that Prince Yun must have heard that her son, the county lord, was missing and came here specifically to have a look. Naturally, she had to see him.
So she steeled herself and went to the main hall wearing a veil. Huier originally wanted to help her go, but she refused, saying that if two people wore veils, it would inevitably make people suspicious, so she went to the front hall alone. .
Stepping into the front hall, the first thing Shen Wan saw was a man in black clothes who was tied and lying on the ground, and she was startled.
What's happening here?
Xuanyuan Liuyun was sitting on a chair drinking tea, with two guards standing behind him. Seeing the county lord come in, wearing a veil again, he frowned and stood up.
The two of them greeted each other. Xuanyuan Liuyun stared at the veil on Shen Wan's face and said, "Does the county master also wear a veil at home?"
Shen Wan said angrily: "My face is haggard and I cannot show it to others. Please forgive me, young prince."
Xuanyuan Liuyun saw that her voice was weak when she spoke, her exposed eye sockets were sunken, her eyes were blue and black, and she looked haggard, so although he was doubtful, he didn't ask any more questions.
Shen Wan walked to the main chair and sat down, raised her hand and pointed at the person on the ground and asked, "What's going on?"
Xuanyuan Liuyun sat down, "When I came here, I saw this man sneaking around outside the county lord's mansion, acting suspiciously. When I caught him, he stabbed me with a short knife, so I tied him up."
The suspicious behavior could be related to the abduction of Xiao An? "Who are you?
But you kidnapped my son?"
Shen Wan grabbed the armrests of the chair, her voice trembling with excitement.
Xuanyuan Liuyun did not block Mazi Lian's mouth, he immediately said: "No, no.
I am a small businessman, and I wanted to come to Jiangzhou to collect some goods and take them back to my hometown to sell.
When I walked into this alley, I got lost for a while and wanted to find someone to ask for directions. I wasn't just being sneaky.
He stabbed this man with a knife because he thought he had met a bad guy.
The villain is really not a bad person..." Mazi's face and body trembled slightly. Only when he heard the two people calling each other when they greeted each other did he know who was arresting him.
A county lord and a young prince, they are kicking the iron this time.
They had rules for kidnapping people. They did not kidnap the children of officials or powerful people, but only the children of merchants.
Because kidnapping the children of businessmen requires a ransom to escape, but kidnapping the children of officials and powerful people not only makes it difficult to escape, but may also lead to immediate consequences.
"You said you were running a small business. Well, let me ask you, which inn did you stay in when you came to Jiangzhou?"
Shen Wan calmed down a little.
"Say it."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Wan urged again.
Under prodding and questioning, the pockmarked face could only tell the name of the Yuanyuan Inn where he stayed a few days ago.
Shen Wan immediately called the servant who stayed in the mansion and asked him to go to the Yuanyuan Inn to invite the innkeeper and waiters.
The pock-marked man knew that when the innkeeper and the waiter arrived, he might reveal his secret, and he was frantically thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
About half an hour later, the shopkeeper and waiters of Yuanyuan Inn came.
"Meet the county lord and meet the young prince."
The shopkeeper and waiter greeted Shen Wan and Xuanyuan Liuyun.
"No gift."
Shen Wan pointed to the pockmarked face on the ground and asked the two of them, "Do you recognize him?"
The shopkeeper and the waiter turned around and stared at the pockmarked face on the ground, and then the shopkeeper said first: "I know, this guest used to stay at our Yuyuan Inn, and he is a person who came to Jiangzhou from other places to do small business.
The three of us stayed in a medium-sized room in our inn for several days!"
