Chai Yan thought this way. If Tai Shuming, who had been lost in the past few days, was injured and bleeding, then he would ride around in a carriage on the street. If he was lucky, he might be able to sense the child's location.
Although the odds are slim, if you have hope, you have to give it a try. What if God opens his eyes...
Half an hour later, Taishu Le's voice came from outside the small courtyard.
"Chai Yan, the carriage is here!" Tai Shule said loudly and trotted into the yard.
Chai Yan came out of the main room, walked towards him and said, "Let's go! Get in the car and set off!"
"Where to go?" Taishu Le asked.
Chai Yan replied: "Go anywhere!"
Although horses are not allowed on the streets of the capital, some people's carriages can still drive, provided that the speed is not too fast, otherwise they will injure passers-by, and they will still be subject to lawsuits!
Generally speaking, these drivers who can drive in the capital belong to powerful families. As the envoy of the Wude Department, Taishu Le's status is not low. Moreover, the background of his wife's family is that of the governor of Huaidu.
It is reasonable to have a carriage that can go on the street.
After getting on the carriage, Chai Yan first asked the coachman to drive him along the street, and then told Taishu Le to know his "stupid method".
After hearing this, Taishu Le became more hopeful and immediately ordered the coachman to listen to Chai Yan from now on. He must be completely obedient. If he is asked to go to heaven, he must not go to the sea privately!
Huaidu is a prosperous capital city. There are about 800 streets of various sizes in the city. At the speed of a carriage, you can only complete seven or eight streets in two hours, and some streets are too narrow or too crowded for people to pass by.
It is so big that a horse-drawn carriage cannot pass through it, so you can only walk across it with your legs.
Calculating this, even if you run without sleeping, it will take at least more than a month to travel throughout the entire capital!
So Chai Yan's idea is to first select some of the most worthwhile streets to increase the chance of finding Tai Shuming as much as possible.
However, it was not until dark, and the carriage had been running for six hours, but it still did not sense Tai Shuming's position.
Although he was anxious to find the child, both the people and the horse had to eat and rest. Chai Yan comforted Taishu and agreed to continue tomorrow morning.
The next morning, Chai Yan arrived outside the small courtyard on time. He had made an agreement with Tai Shu Le yesterday to continue looking for the child's whereabouts at this time today.
But less than half an hour after the agreed time, Chai Yan still saw no sign of the carriage or Tai Shu Le.
Just as he was wondering, an angry Taishu Le appeared in a hurry.
"Uncle Commander, why did you come here on foot? Where is the carriage?" Chai Yan hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Tai Shule said angrily: "Hey, don't mention it! I was about to take a car out early this morning, but I didn't expect that the woman stopped me. She said she wanted to use the car, so she took the car away!"
Chai Yan secretly sighed in his heart, this Taishu Le usually seemed to be quite a manly man, but he didn't expect that he would have such no status at home.
Chai Yan frowned and said, "What should we do? Without a car, our efficiency in finding people will be greatly reduced!"
Tai Shule was so anxious that he was spinning in circles at a loss.
Just as the two were discussing a solution, a luxurious carriage suddenly stopped in front of them.
Then, a head poked out of the car window and shouted strangely: "Chai Yan, Lao Le, what are you muttering about when you get together?"
"Jimo Qiao?" Chai Yan said in surprise.
Tai Shule's reaction was different. He was stunned for a moment, and then hid behind Chai Yan. He looked like a child who had been caught making a mistake. It was so funny!
"Hey, hey, hey, Lao Le, why are you hiding?" Jimo Qiao stuck his neck out, stared at Chai Yan and shouted: "Lao Le, you are still hiding! Come out..."
Chai Yan asked: "Miss Qiao, why are you here?"
There are not many shops or merchants on this street of Xiaozayuan. Logically speaking, Jimo Qiao shouldn’t come here!
Jimo Qiao got off the carriage and walked over and said: "I saw you when you came out of Wudesi, so I followed you quietly. After a long time, it turned out that you came to see Lao Le...
.Hey, what are you two plotting here?"
When Jimo Qiao was riding outside Wude Division, she happened to see Chai Yan coming out. Her curiosity arose and she wanted to see where Chai Yan was going, so she ordered the coachman to follow him slowly.
She originally thought Chai Yan was here to meet another woman, but Taishu Le showed up, leaving her disappointed and bored.
"No, no, what can we plot?" Tai Shule had an unnatural smirk on his face.
Chai Yan asked directly: "Can I borrow your carriage for a day?"
"Okay..." Jimo Qiao agreed without hesitation.
"Let's go, get in the car..."
Just as Chai Yan and Tai Shu Le were running towards the carriage, Jimo Qiao behind them said: "But..."
The two stopped walking, and Chai Yan turned around and asked, "What are you doing? You're breathing heavily while talking!"
"I'm not imitating you!" Jimo Qiao immediately shot back.
Tai Shule had no choice but to ask: "Miss Jimo, but what?"
Chai Yan curled his lips and said, "No need to ask, you must want to know what we are doing!"
"Clever!" Jimo Qiao smiled and said, "Tell me what you are plotting. I can lend you this carriage unconditionally! How about it? It's a good deal, right?"
Tai Shule shook his head quickly: "No, I can't tell her..."
In Tai Shule's eyes, Jimo Qiao's mouth is very lax. If she knew that she had an illegitimate child, then the entire Wude family would know about it!
Chai Yan saw his concerns and advised: "Uncle Commander, time is tight, why don't you tell her and make her swear to keep it secret later. I believe she won't tell nonsense!"
Jimo Qiao became excited when he heard the words "swore poison to secrecy" and said without thinking: "I swear I can keep it a secret and I will never tell others!"
Tai Shule thought about it and felt that it was better to seize the time to find his son, so he nodded vigorously and agreed to tell Jimo Qiao.
However, Tai Shule was too embarrassed to say it himself, so he asked Chai Yan to do it.
Chai Yan pulled Jimo Qiao aside and explained the whole story clearly in a few words.
After hearing this, Jimo Qiao was so surprised that he covered his mouth, and his eyes almost bulged out of his head. It wasn't until Chai Yan kept nodding his head in affirmation that Jimo Qiao believed it was true.
Jimo Qiao had always thought that his uncle, who was willing to take concubines and drink wine, must be a dedicated and honest man, but he didn't expect that he would give birth to a five-year-old son quietly!
Jimo Qiao looked back at Taishu Le and said with admiration: "I didn't expect that, Lao Le, you hid it deeply enough..."
"Miss Jimo, please stop laughing at me..."
Tai Shule instantly blushed and smiled awkwardly.
