Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

The news from Wuwei almost made Luo Ding despair, but he still forced himself to calm down at this time in order to analyze the current situation clearly.

So everyone quieted down and watched Luo Ding thinking for a long time, before hearing him say: "Since Pi Daxing has already sold all his property, he probably doesn't plan to stay in Wuwei." I went back. So among the four directions, the one in the north can now be ruled out. The west is our residential area, which is full of people, and the neighbors are very familiar with it, so if any suspicious person appears, they must run away. But everyone’s eyes. And no one has come to us to receive the reward so far, which means that Pi Daxing’s group did not go from the west. The east of the city is the salt road, and the only way to go from there is to reach the salt lake. Pi Daxing’s people They have never had any communication with salt merchants. So there is only one of the four directions left for them to choose."

Everyone looked at each other after hearing Luo Ding's analysis, and then Shuanzi slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, go south from here, and there is the Yellow River ferry over there. It's only a day's drive from our Fengcheng to the edge of the Yellow River. They Now that they have been arrested, they must plan to escape, and after arriving at the ferry, they will go down the river and run out of the boundary of Liangzhou, who can find them in such a big world."

Hearing what Shuanzi said, everyone seemed to have reacted.There was no need for Luo Ding to say hello, a group of people followed him and got on their horses. They hurried out of the south gate and headed for the Yellow River Ferry.

Luo Ding was just a businessman, and there were not many horses that could be found, only a dozen or so in total, so those who walked with him were all young, strong and good at riding.

The rest of the people will still stay in Fengcheng to continue searching. After all, Luo Ding guessed everything just now. Although they think Luo Ding's guess is very accurate, if Shen Chenxi is still left in Fengcheng and has not been transported out, They may meet if they look for it.

Even if those people have left, it would be good for them to find some clues.

So instead of being quiet because of Luo Ding's departure, Fengcheng's side became even more noisy.

On Wenhua Street in Fengcheng, Xu Jian looked at the people passing by the door of his store one after another, and found that there were many faces inside that he was very familiar with.

After a closer look, he recognized that most of those people were guys from Luoding's butcher shop, and an extremely ominous premonition immediately lingered in his mind.

Xu Jian, who was worried about Shen Chenai's accident, immediately stopped a young man who looked familiar, and the young man recognized Xu Jian when he saw Xu Jian's appearance, so he stopped and asked, "Boss Xu, do you have any questions?" What's the matter?"

Xu Jian replied after hearing the words: "I see that you are in such a hurry, brother, but what happened to your boss?"

The young man heard the words and said: "Don't mention it, our master's Qidi was taken away. The master will let us out to help find someone."

Xu Jian's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words, and she quickly asked, "Brother Chen was taken away! When did it happen? Who did it? Do you know where they went?"

The young man was confused by Xu Jian's series of questions, and he thought for a long time before replying: "He was arrested at noon today. I heard that the person who arrested him was called Pi Daxing. His boss said they went to the ferry to the south. They have gone to the side, and they have already rode over to give chase."

After Xu Jian finished listening, she calculated silently in her heart, and then said anxiously: "It has been almost two hours since noon, and even if you go on horseback, it will be difficult to catch up with Pi before the ferry sails. Happy them."

Hearing the words, the young man sighed and replied: "Who said it wasn't that? Look at the weather at this time, the last voyage from the ferry port today is almost about to start, no matter how fast the boss and the others ride horses, if they want to I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch up, but this time our master's Qidi is really in danger."

Xu Jian was a little lost after hearing this, the young man looked at him, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a good relationship with their boss's younger brother, so he asked worriedly: "Boss Xu, are you alright?"

Hearing the young man's question, Xu Jian finally came back to his senses. He controlled his emotions before replying: "I'm fine, brother, thank you for telling me the news."

Hearing the words, the young man was polite, and then he excused that he would go to the front to have a look. After greeting Xu Jian, he left.

Xu Jian watched the young man leave, leaning against the door bar outside the bookstore, wondering what was going on. The big white goose, who had waited in the yard for a long time and hadn't seen him come back, was anxious, walking on two short legs, staggering from the He came out to look for Xu Jian.

Xu Jian hugged the big white goose that stretched its neck and called out to her, holding on to the smooth feathers on its body, wondering what she was thinking.After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, put the big goose in his arms into the yard, locked the gate and went to the north of the city.

Xu Jian walked quickly, and within a quarter of an hour, he came to the gate of a family. The gate of that family looked very grand, with white walls, green tiles and vermilion red gates, and a pair of There are rows of red lanterns, and in the middle of the two rows of lanterns, the plaque of Yuefu hangs high on it.

Xu Jian looked at the plaque, took a deep breath, raised her legs up several steps, came to the two vermilion gates, and knocked on the two thick gates.

Not long after Xu Jian knocked on the door, the concierge came over and opened the door. Seeing that the person standing outside was Xu Jian, the concierge was also very surprised and asked: "Mr. It's your turn. How come you are free today?"

Xu Jian ignored the porter's question, but said directly: "Is your ninth master at home? I have something to do with him."

The concierge hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Xu, please come inside, and I will tell the housekeeper that you are here."

The concierge led Xu Jian into the living room and handed it over to the butler who rushed over after hearing the news. After the butler asked the servant girl to serve Xu Jian good tea and various refreshments, he hurried to the back to inform the master.

It's no wonder that the butler and porter are so careful, because the master of their house once specifically explained that if this gentleman came over, he must be treated as a guest of honor.It's just that after the master said this sentence, this Mr. Xu didn't even go through the gate of their house for some reason.

Xu Jian had something on his mind, he was not interested in the delicate refreshments on the table at all, he took a few sips silently while holding the teacup in his hand, but his eyes were always on the door of the living room.

The housekeeper didn't keep Xu Jian waiting for too long, but three to two minutes later, there was a burst of very regular footsteps outside the living room door.

After Xu Jian heard the footsteps, she hurriedly put down the teacup she was holding in her hand, and after tidying up her clothes, she saw a servant standing at the door raising the curtain of the living room, and a man in short blue clothes came in.

The man was tall, but well-proportioned, his skin was very dark, and his facial features didn't look too impressive, but he walked with a certain momentum. In the cold weather, he was only wearing two single clothes. coming.

Xu Jian obviously didn't expect him to come out like this. The man looked at Xu Jian in a daze, smiled at him and said: "Just now I was exchanging skills with my brothers in the martial arts hall. I heard that you came, even your clothes I didn’t even have time to change it, so I came over.”

Xu Jian lowered her head and didn't know what to say. The man said calmly when he saw the situation: "You will never step on my door when you have nothing to do. Tell me, why did you come to me this time? matter?"

Hearing this, Xu Jian raised her head and said to that man: "Yue Jiuye, Xu came to the door today to ask you for something. Xu has a good friend who was robbed at noon today. The person who robbed him seemed to be going to the Yellow River. He went to the ferry. His family has already led people to chase after him on horseback, but the ferry on the other side of the ferry is about to sail. I would like to ask Jiu Ye for help, and see if someone can help him. Stop at the ferry."

When Yue Jiu heard the words, he looked at the butler standing beside him, and the butler immediately bent down and whispered something in his master's ear.

After hearing what the butler said, Yue Jiu raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then asked Xu Jian: "The friend you mentioned, is that brother of the owner of Luo's butcher shop?"

Xu Jian nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and Yue Jiu's eyes sank when he saw this and said: "Mr. Xu, you saved my life when I was in trouble. I promised that as long as it is about you, I will help you without asking any conditions." Originally, Mr. and I were very close, but for some reason these years, he suddenly became estranged from me. Yuemou always wanted to ask a question, but what kind of impoliteness made Mr. You no longer visit the gate of Yue’s house ?”

Xu Jian's face suddenly turned red when he heard the words, and he stammered for a long time but couldn't answer Yue Jiu's question.

On the other hand, Yue Jiu, seeing Xu Jian's distressed appearance, suddenly felt better for some reason.So he turned his head to the steward who had been waiting by his side and said, "Let the pigeons go out and tell our brothers who stayed at the ferry to open their eyes wide, and stop and investigate anyone who looks suspicious. If you can’t find anything, go to the ship’s boss and ask him to arrange to sail later today.”

The housekeeper turned and left after hearing the words. Xu Jian was also beaming at this time. Yue Jiu looked at the smiling face he hadn't seen for a long time, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He said softly to Xu Jian: "My brother, it's been a long time They haven't come to my place anymore, since you have already visited today, don't leave so quickly, I just brought back several jars of fine wine from Wuwei, why don't you stay and taste it, brother."

Xu Jian hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but he still felt that it would be impolite to leave just after begging someone, so he nodded in agreement.

Yue Jiu was overjoyed when he saw this, and asked the servants to order the kitchen to prepare Xu Jian's favorite meals, while he himself got up and went to the wine room to choose the fine wine to drink tonight.

Just as the people around Shen Chenai were working hard to save him, Shen Chenai's hands and feet were bound and his mouth was gagged. The whole person was stuffed into a big box, disguised as cargo and transported down the Yellow River Ferry. on the side.
