Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 97

Xue Yi finished reading the letter, his eyes were red, and he asked, "Who brought this letter?"

The housekeeper said: "I heard from the concierge that it was a mother-in-law, but the old man just handed in the letter and left."

It was too late to thank the person who sent the letter. The letter in his hand was worth a thousand gold in Xue Yi's eyes. He didn't dare to delay even a moment. He called his younger brother and Wu Shuxuan, and took them to the Yamen.

Zhizhou in Suzhou was alarmed as soon as Xue's family found out that Xue Hong was missing. Now that Xue's family has the specific whereabouts of the second son, what does Zhizhou say?Immediately gather troops and horses, and go straight to Shuangyu Lane in Gujiazhuang.

On the other side, Xue Hong saw that Yuexi was going to deliver the letter, and she was very worried, but she couldn't help but wait.He turned around and looked at the children lying on the ground in twos and threes. Except for Yinglian, they were all children from ordinary families.

He sighed in his heart, and hurried to untie the hemp rope that bound them, complaining that he forgot about it while untiing them, he should untie the children as soon as possible.

It should be because these abductees are too ruthless, in order to prevent them from escaping, the hemp ropes are tied in tight knots, and there are deep strangle marks on his own wrists, let alone the younger children.

In order of age from young to old, Xue Hong untied the hemp rope one by one, and checked their physical conditions with pulse detection, and found that all of them had fallen into a deep sleep due to drug addiction, and one or two of them were frightened , There is no other problem with his body for the time being, so he is relieved.

Waiting is the most tormenting, but luckily Yuexi came back first.

"Has the letter arrived?"

Yue Xi nodded her fox head: "It's delivered. I watched the housekeeper hand the letter to your father with his own hands."

"That's good, father will definitely come." Xue Hong knew that Yue Xi's strength from fighting Wu Zha was about to be exhausted again. Man Han looked at it apologetically, "Thank you, go back and have a good rest."

After a while, the sound of footsteps and conversations outside the house gradually increased, and Xue Hong saw the shadows of lights through the crack of the door.

"Your uncle, why are there so many people here in this shitless place? I just fell asleep, who is so short-sighted... Yo, yo, it turned out to be the military master, why did the military master come to our poor place?" What business?"

The kidnapper who stayed to watch the house seemed to be a person who was angry about getting up. He had already fallen asleep, but was woken up by the loud noise outside, but he came out cursing and seeing who was coming. Turned into liver color.

As soon as Xue Yi saw this person, he ordered him to be taken down, and he himself took the lantern to find the room that Xue Hong wrote about being nailed to death.

It’s just such a small courtyard, with only a few rooms in total. Xue Yi found his destination as soon as he shone a light on the lantern. Xue Yi was so angry that he didn’t need anyone else. He rushed over and pushed the heavy wooden door, but the door was locked. It's locked, how can I kick it open.

Tang Jiu was still clever, searched the kidnapper, and quickly ran to Xue Yi who was furious: "Master, this should be the key."

"Open!"

The wooden door opened with a creak, and the flames at the door dazzled the eyes. Xue Hong was shaken, but before she could realize what was going on, she was surrounded by her father, second uncle, elder brother and cousin Xue Biao.

"Are you OK?"

Xue Hong looked at Xue Yi's slightly disheveled hair and beads of sweat on his forehead, and was a little moved, but said with restraint, "I'm fine, and other children have also been abducted."

Wu Shuxuan and Suzhou Zhizhou came in with their soldiers and saw the children still sleeping underground.

Xue Yi looked back at Zhizhou, Zhizhou understood, and raised his voice: "Bring that kidnapper up!"

The kidnapper was so frightened at this moment that he knelt down when he saw Zhizhou.

"You kidnapper, the master came to ask you, why are all these children in a coma? Is there a risk of life?"

The kidnapper was trembling like chaff: "No... no... no, they were just drugged. Little one, there is an antidote here for the little one. If you smell it, you will wake up."

"Then why don't you take out the antidote?!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The kidnapper took out a medicine bottle from his arms with trembling hands, and the yamen servant next to Zhizhou snatched it away, and was about to give the children the secret medicine, but Xue Hong stood up and said, "Wait a minute, my lord! These children are just like me!" They were all frightened when they were abducted, and the current battle is too big, so waking them up now will inevitably be another fear, why not send them back to the Yamen to detoxify?"

The magistrate of Suzhou looked at Xue Hong very highly.how?
He was abducted together with these children, and there are some older than him lying here, but all of them are asleep like a dead pig and have not woken up. Only Xue Hong is not only awake, but also trying to send a letter outside. Helping him solve a small but immensely meritorious child abduction case is the icing on the cake for his official career.So this Zhizhou also gave Xue Hong a lot of face.

"Second Master Xue's words are justified. If that's the case, you should send the children to the carriage and bring them back to the yamen. In the morning, tell the family who lost the children to go to the yamen to claim them."

"Yes!"

"grown ups!"

"What else is the second son?"

"When I woke up just now, I heard that this kidnapper has other accomplices. The one caught is at most an accomplice. Please find out the truth and catch the real culprit as soon as possible."

"Oh? If that's the case, thank you, Second Young Master, for reminding me."

"Also, the little girl in the farthest corner, I know who she belongs to. Her family must be very anxious if they can't find her. Why don't you leave her to me, and I'll take her home right away."

"This... well, then please trouble Master Xue and Second Young Master Xue."

Since the Xue family knows people, there is no need for them to trouble the yamen, so why not do it?
Xue Hong asked for the antidote from the yamen servant, and put it under Yinglian's nose. The little girl sniffed it and then slowly opened her eyes, but her eyes were hazy, as if she didn't know what happened. What, when she saw so many strangers and so many lanterns and torches in front of her, the little girl pursed her lips, as if she was about to cry again.

Xue Hong hurriedly said: "Little sister, don't cry, I know you are the lady of Master Zhen's family, I will take you home right away, okay?"

Yinglian rubbed her eyes, and when she saw Xue Hong, she remembered that it was her little brother who was talking to her.With so many people in front of her, the little brother looked familiar, so Yinglian nodded, grabbed Xue Hong's clothes and stood up.

Yinglian's family couldn't bear any misfortunes, and they only knew how to hold Xue Hong all the way, but Xue Yi was at a loss: "Hong'er, whose family is this little girl from?"

Xue Hong sighed: "Hey...Father, let me tell you slowly."
