C251 You have the right to remain unconvinced

The small alley was not wide, but it was very long and twisted. Fortunately, because of the chaotic scene, the pursuers at the back could not catch up to Young Master Cheng even though they saw him enter the small alley. However, it was better to know the direction he ran in than to completely lose sight of him.

Young Master Cheng took a few turns and quickly ran out of the alley, revealing an extremely wide stone road. On both sides of the road, there were many high-end shops, some selling jewelry and furniture, some selling rouge and cosmetics, and some selling silk and cloth.

Although the Cheng family could not be considered to be poor, they were definitely not rich enough. Usually, the Mrs. Cheng would have some savings every month, but she would never take them out to spend. When he went out shopping, he would usually go to fairs that ordinary people could visit. It was Young Master Cheng's first time coming to a store like this one in the lobby.

However, Young Master Cheng did not dare to stay there for long to admire the scenery of the street, because he could faintly hear the guards shouting from the alleyway behind him. If he did not think of a way to escape, the guards might catch up to him again soon.

Young Master Cheng knew very well that he had already run for a long time, and even used all his strength to fight against the soldiers a few times. At this point, he already had too much strength left, if he did not think of other ways, he would not be able to move a hundred meters, and would be left with no choice but to surrender.

Just as Young Master Cheng was gasping for air and thinking of ways, he suddenly saw a horse carriage slowly approaching, just in time to look for his position. Without waiting for a response, he immediately rushed towards the horse carriage, quickly arriving in front of it.

There were no adults in the carriage, only three children, the oldest being a little girl who looked to be about seven to eight years old. Judging from her attire, she should be a young maid, the other two children looked to be five to six years old, but they were sickly, their faces were pale, and their bodies were covered with thin blankets. The youngest was about three to four years old.

The three children also looked at Young Master Cheng in astonishment. Seeing that he was drenched in sweat and his clothes were extremely ordinary, he should not be a disciple of any big clan, and seeing that he had rushed into the carriage with a face full of astonishment, it seemed like he did not do it on purpose, perhaps because of some urgent matter.

"Hey, hey, who the hell are you? Which family's poor brat do you belong to? If you dare to barge in recklessly, I think you are a coward! " It was only when he had already entered the carriage that the carriage driver realized what had happened. However, because of the order from the owner of the carriage, he did not dare to lift the carriage's curtain without permission. He could only stand outside and shout towards the carriage with a face full of displeasure.

"Yes. I'm sorry, can't you. "Let me hide for a moment. I mean no harm. I promise, I'll hide for a while. There's someone chasing after me from behind!" He had never thought that the carriage was filled with children. If he was discovered, it would implicate him, but if he got off now, forget about running a hundred meters away, he would probably catch a whole carriage. Therefore, the Young Master Cheng could only embarrassedly ask for help.

The two little girls in the carriage didn't reply and continued to look curiously at this stranger. However, the sickly man with a pale complexion softly said, "Cough, cough, Ah Fu, continue driving!"

"Yes, Young Master!" Hearing the orders from the carriage, the coachman didn't dare to hesitate and bowed towards the carriage. Without further ado, he continued to drive the carriage forward.

Just as Young Master Cheng heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed, he heard the guard's voice coming from an alley not far from the carriage.

"You're scolding, where did that brat run off to?" A guard cursed.

"He definitely won't be far. He should be somewhere nearby. Let's search!" Another guard suggested.

"Brat, you don't want to live anymore? Do you know where we are? Even the Lord Commander himself doesn't dare to say that he's searching. If you want to die, I won't stop you. At this time, Ten Captains also ran out of the alleyway. When he heard the words of the last guard, he got angry and cursed as he slapped the back of Ten Captains's head.

"Ten Captains, where exactly is this place? Is it as mysterious as you said it is?" The guard carelessly touched the back of his head and asked.

"Why is it not mystical? "None of these mansions can be raided by us. In fact, any of these mansions might be owned by some noble family. If you were to take out all four pieces of meat, I'm afraid you will only be able to compensate any one item!" Ten Captains pointed at the houses and shops on both sides of the street as he spoke.

"Then what should we do?" the guard from before asked.

"That kid definitely hasn't run far. He should be somewhere close by. Find him yourself, don't alarm any shops or houses!" Ten Captains thought for a moment, then looked at the surrounding layout, there were no small alleys on this road, only clear paths. As long as that brat appeared on the streets, he would definitely be discovered quickly, and if he was unable to see him now, then he would probably be hiding nearby. As long as he searched carefully, he believed that Su Yun would not let him run away.

"Understood!" Everyone answered.

Just as these guards were about to disperse their search, they suddenly discovered a carriage slowly approaching, a group of guards cautiously sized up the carriage. Suddenly, the Ten Captains who was leading the group discovered that on the pedals outside of the carriage, there was a distinct footprint, with wet marks where it was stepped on. Clearly, it had stepped on some water stains on the carriage, and most importantly, this wet footprint was clearly stepped on, and the water stains were very clear.

The entire street was paved with limestone, and it was extremely dry. It was impossible for the owner of the car to have accidentally stepped on a puddle of water. As for the street they came to, due to the chaotic situation, it was even possible for them to step on the vegetables and fruits, let alone get water stains. Therefore, the Ten Captains suspected that the person they were chasing down was inside the carriage.

Ten Captains signaled the soldiers to surround the carriage. The soldiers under their command and the guards who had arrived in succession surrounded the horse carriage, leaving not a single drop of water behind.

"Hey, who the hell are you? Don't you have eyes? Do you know whose car you're in? " The coachman was unhappy. He really thought they were easy to bully. All of them treated themselves as an old cow and still wanted to go to heaven.

"Hmph, we suspect you of harbouring an important criminal. We want to search the carriage!" The Ten Captains knew that as long as he was right, even if the officials and nobles were right, they would not be punished so severely, not to mention that the carriage looked exquisite, but it did not come from a big family, so it seemed that most of the people here were from small families.

Ten Captains had also thought about it. As long as he was a little tough, and not meet a powerful family like Situ Family or Murong Family, the other side would at least be a little afraid of the Lord Commander of the City Guards, who was supporting him.

"How dare you! If you scare our Young Master, how dare you!" At the same time he pitied the young master, he was also afraid that he would be hurt. After all, the young master did not allow any of his family's guards to come with him on this trip.

"Hmph, even the Emperor has to stand aside when we city guards do things! If you know what's good for you, hand over the person we want and we can talk about it, or else ?? " Ten Captains did not care about the coachman's threat at all. He only thought of how to catch the target, and how to go back and seek rewards.

In truth, the moment the carriage was surrounded, Young Master Cheng knew that it was going to be bad. He anxiously looked at the three children here, but saw that they were all abnormally calm and did not take the matter to heart, but even so, Young Master Cheng did not want to implicate the three children.

His pride did not allow him to do this. If his father was here, he would not agree that he should be so shameless as to persist with his life. A man should be able to support the heavens and earth, and even if he could not, he would only die, so what was there to be afraid of.

But just as Young Master Cheng wanted to rush out of the carriage, his figure suddenly stopped, not because he wanted to stop, but because he had to. He only felt a strong force pulling him back, causing him to be unable to move at all. He looked behind him in shock and found that the one holding him back was a maid that was around seven to eight years old. How was this possible? The strength of a half maid was even greater than his, who had practiced martial arts since he was young? Seeing this, Young Master Cheng's brain completely shut down.

Just then, a faint voice came out from the carriage: "Lan Er, go and handle this!"

The one who spoke was the sickly young master. Although his voice was weak, the tone was irresistible.

Who was this person? This question suddenly appeared in Young Master Cheng's mind. He had a faint feeling that maybe he could ask for help regarding his parents.

He waited for the other party to compromise. He knew that under his pressure, the other party would admit defeat sooner or later, and he enjoyed this process very much. He was even worried that the other party would compromise too quickly, so that way, he would have less fun.

At first, Ten Captains thought that he had succeeded, but when he saw that the person who walked out of the carriage, he himself was confused. The person who walked out was actually just a young maid, could it be that this family was not afraid of causing trouble?

"You are the leader of these people?" With her hands on her waist, the little girl pointed at Ten Captains and asked.

"You are?" Ten Captains did not know the other party's background and did not dare to use force. Although he did not admit it, he asked back, so it could be considered as his tacit agreement.

"You don't need to know who I am? My young master said this person is indeed in the car, but he won't give it to you! If you have the guts, then come and snatch it. If you don't have the guts, then just obediently go. At the same time, I would advise you that you have the right to remain unconvinced, but if you act on it! I'll let you know why the flowers are so red! " The girl humphed lightly and said. However, the content of her words was indeed a bit 'shocking'.

"..." The surrounding officers were stupefied.
