How could Zhao Fan...

At this time, the Old Emperor was in critical condition. As one of the princes with the highest possibility of inheriting the throne, Zhao Fan was not staying in the imperial city to fight for power.

In his previous life, Zhao Fan should be attending to patients in the palace, Old Emperor would pass away in three months. The Old Emperor had not been in court for a long time, and the various factions were at a standstill.

What went wrong? Would it allow Zhao Fan to stay away from the imperial city at this critical juncture?

Wen Jiu was dazed for a moment.

"Show me the way, I will ensure that your life is safe!"

Zhao Fan kept his sword and picked her up, then quickly ran past the pile of straw and threw her onto the carriage.

Wen Jiu crashed into the carriage, feeling dizzy and disoriented, following that, he saw Zhao Fan cut off the ropes, and drove the horse carriage flying on the road.

"Young Madame!" Hua Mei chased after him at flying speed.

The carriage driver and Mrs. Wen were startled by the sound and ran out, in a moment they were all panicking, but a group of merchants just went by, and now there was not even a single passerby.

Zhao Fan said coldly.

"How dare you report to the government?! Just wait for her corpse to be collected!"

Xie's Mansion.

Tu Mei and the horse carriage entered the sect in a hurry. In front of the Old Madame Xie and his men, they told them about how they were kidnapped.

Second Madame Xie was so angry that she could not even stand, and scolded: "I knew this Wen Family's young lady was worried! It's only been a few days since I came to the Palace, and I've already caused so much trouble! " Then, he instructed the attendant's maidservants, "Whoever dares to divulge even the tiniest bit of information in front of the Fifth Young Master will be sold!"

No one dared to make a sound.

Tu Mei quickly knelt in front of Old Madame Xie, "Madame! Please save Fifth Young Madame! That evil person is covered in blood, he must be a vicious and merciless person! "

Second Madame Xie was so angry by the servant that his heart ached: "What are you howling for! If you have the time, go and report to the authorities! "

"We can't report it!" Hua Mei cried and said, "The scoundrel said that if we dare to report to the government, we will ?" I'm taking Fifth Young Madame's life! "

Xie's Mansion was a large family located in the region of Changping County. Usually, everyone would feel a bit more reverent towards them, and even the local officials would have to give them some face.

Second Madame Xie had not encountered such a troublesome matter in the past few decades, so she could not let go of her scolding in front of the old mistress. If you really believe me, can you just bring him along and let him go? "

Even if he didn't die at the hands of these thugs, how could he maintain his innocence?

Everyone was calculating in their hearts.

Old Madame Xie said in a deep voice: "Go and invite Eldest Young Master over."

After a moment, Xie Heng arrived.

"I already know."

Xie Heng did not go out today. After playing two games of chess in Xie Qi's courtyard, he heard that something had happened to Wen Jiu.

"Grandmother, don't worry. I will definitely bring Fifth Sister-in-Law back in one piece."

Old Madame Xie muttered to himself, "The most important thing is that no one is hurt, the rest is unimportant. Take half of the servants in the residence with you, remember to be careful."

Xie Heng nodded, carried his sword and left the house.

Just as he reached the entrance, he saw Xie Xuan standing beside the stone lion. "I'll go with you."

"Good timing."

Xie Heng said: "I'll leave these people to you. I'll be going first."

Xie Xuan looked at the servants who were neatly arranged in a row, and said with a frown: "I'll go with you."

Xie Heng did not tangle with him over this matter, and instructed everyone: "Go to the tea house and check the various small paths, if there are any findings, report immediately."

The teenager jumped onto the horse and galloped away.

Xie Xuan rode beside him on the horse. Despite enduring the bumpy ride, he was almost thrown off the horse several times. By the time he reached the tea house, the thin and frail youth had already fallen to the ground.

"Young Master Xie!" Mrs. Wen, whose eyes had turned red from crying, pulled Xie Heng along, and said self-blame: "It's all my fault. Jiu had long told me not to set up a teahouse.

Xie Heng could not bear to see the woman cry in front of him, so he scooped her up and gave her to Mrs. Wen.

"Third brother, Madam Wen's worries are too great, you must be comforted. If Fifth Sister-in-Law comes back and sees that her mother is really sick, let's see how you explain yourself."

Xie Xuan: You got a headache listening to her cry! Am I not going to have a headache?

Third Young Master resisted the urge to vomit as he stood up using his hands to support the wooden stake and said in a low voice, "Don't be impatient, Lady Wen."

Xie Xuan was originally a quiet person, and normally, he would not talk much with other people. Other than this sentence, he really couldn't think of any other comforting words.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wen quickly said: "Please come back to our Jiu as soon as possible, don't worry about me ?"

Xie Xuan nodded, and asked Mrs. Wen a few more questions about how the scoundrels kidnapped Wen Jiu, which was about the same as Hua Mei's explanation.

Only then did the youth walk over to Xie Heng who was inspecting the route of the carriage with a sense of amnesty, squatting down and inspecting the place, "Capturing a hostage is not for money, they shouldn't be bandits. Mrs. Wen said that the hilt of the evil person's long sword was embedded with a blue gem. In today's world, ordinary families would not dare to show their wealth, and only the royal and grandsons of the imperial city still live in luxury. "

Xie Heng turned and look at him.

Xie Xuan slightly paused, and continued: "If it's someone from the imperial city, coming to Changping County right now would certainly bring about a whole bunch of trouble, and the situation between the city's officials is very complicated. I think this person will temporarily hide in the forest. "
