Angelica returns

"Have you brought any money?" A strange male voice asked.

Xu Shousheng opened the box and said tremblingly, "It's all here. Where's my son?"

The man knocked on the gold, and after confirming that it was real gold, he closed the box and said, "I'm afraid you will deceive me, your son is in another safe place for the time being."

Xu Shousheng dared not speak out, and suppressed: "Didn't you say that you will pay the money with one hand and the person with the other?"

Man: "Oh! Do you dare to believe the words of bandits? Master Xu is so naive!"

Xu Shousheng: "...how much more do you need to let me go?"

Man: "Okay! Mr. Xu is a straightforward person. I think the Xu family is not short of gold. You can get another 300 taels. You go and get it now, and I'm waiting for you. If you dare to play tricks, your son will definitely die in an hour."

……

Pushing the door open, footsteps sounded.

Zhou Tingyu and He Yihuan looked at each other.

"Yi Zhao, this man is really greedy."

"Unpredictable people."

"go?"

"Walk!"

Going out and looking, Xu Shousheng had already descended to the lobby of Naohua Pavilion. Why did he raise his sleeves? All irrelevant people in Naohua Pavilion were blocked from seeing and hearing, and stood still in place.

Seeing this scene, Xu Shousheng was clearly panicked and wanted to rush to the gate.He Huan jumped down from the third floor of Xinshou with Zhou Tingyu in his arms, blocking his way impartially.

Zhou Tingyu smiled and said, "Master Xu, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Xu Shousheng" was visibly trembling, he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Zhou Tingyu continued: "You must know that the county magistrate has already ambushed outside. As long as I call out, you can taste all the instruments of torture in the county government's cell."

"Xu Shousheng" remained silent.

Zhou Tingyu explained very patiently: "You are also considered a half-smart person, knowing that walls have ears, but your ability to deceive the world is a bit weaker.

Curious how we knew it wasn't Xu Shousheng who went out?Very simple, footsteps.

When Master Xu came up, he carried a box of gold, which weighed at least a dozen catties, and his footsteps were naturally heavy.

When he went downstairs, Mr. Xu's hands were empty, but the sound of his footsteps increased rather than decreased.You said, why don't you reveal your secrets? "

After hearing this, the kidnapper knew that he was a fish and meat, so he calmed down a lot. He grabbed the last straw and said, "Your Excellency is very smart, but what's the use of being smart? If I die, I won't know where Xu Zongyin is. Aren't you trying to rescue him?" He? You can kill me and see where you go to find him!"

"You!" Zhou Tingyu glared.

The kidnapper sneered, "If I can't get out of this door safely, someone will kill Xu Zongyin."

At this moment, He He called in a cold voice: "You are already an abandoned son, why bother to struggle?"

"Abandoned son?" The kidnapper smiled, "Yes, I am an abandoned son. But don't forget, Xu Zongyin's life rests on me, an abandoned son! I advise you not to entangle me any longer. When the time comes, both sides will suffer, and I will die when I die. It's a pity for Xu Zongyin."

Why call: "Speak! Who is behind you?"

The kidnapper laughed at himself: "Your Excellency really has other plans! There is still half an hour, if I don't go out again, Xu Zongyin will really die."

He Huanyin closed his eyes, Shen finally reached the kidnapper's throat, and said sharply: "Will you tell me or not?"

At this time, Xu Shousheng ran down the stairs and unexpectedly hugged He Yihuan and Zhou Tingyu's legs to death. He Huan was startled, and Shen finally loosened his hand, and the kidnappers took the opportunity to run out of Naohua Pavilion.

Zhou Tingyu wanted to chase after him, but Xu Shousheng knelt on the ground hugging his legs, weeping and saying, "Young master! Please let him go. I just want my son to go home safely. I will give him whatever he wants." , please, this matter cannot be resolved by force, just follow him, my son is still in his hands and his life is uncertain..."

Hearing this, Zhou Tingyu sighed helplessly, and then said: "Release!"

Xu Shousheng didn't let go.

Zhou Tingyu: "Do you think you can trap Mr. He? He didn't chase him at first, and he won't chase him now! Let go!"

Xu Shousheng then slowly let go of his hand.Zhou Tingyu picked a nearby table, pushed away the drinking and having fun on it, sat down, and asked, "Did the kidnapper say something else to you?"

Xu Shousheng replied truthfully: "Yes. He wrote it on paper and told me to take money and go to the woods on the outskirts of the city the next day. There can only be one person. If there is one more person, I will die."

Zhou Tingyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you believe this?"

Xu Shousheng had a sad face: "I can only believe it."

"The kidnappers didn't intend to kill the son. He should just want to survive and get some money to survive." He called out.

Xu Shousheng couldn't believe it when he heard this, "The kidnappers will kill people unintentionally? These people are vicious and have blood on their hands. If I don't obey him, he will definitely be cruel!"

Why call: "Master Xu, he is not an ordinary kidnapper. His master will not protect him, so he can only find a way to protect himself."

Xu Shousheng still didn't understand, and he didn't want to explain more.Xu Zongyin was kidnapped to practice the soul-drawing technique, so how could the master of the soul-drawing technique be an ordinary kidnapper?

It's just deception.It seems that the soul-drawing master was afraid, because the plan could not go on, so he wisely protected himself and chose to let Xu Zongyin go in disguise.In this way, this soul-drawing master is also sailing carefully for thousands of years, and is wary of certain people.

What about Chen Xi?If Chen Xi was the soul-drawing master, he should have appeared.

Why called Zhou Tingyu to look at him, Zhou Tingyu said: "People have also run away, I will go and tell Mr. Wang that they are gone."

Why Calling Wenyan hesitated for a while, then nodded.He said to the tear-stained Xu Shousheng, "I'll do it for myself" and strode out.When he went out, he raised his sleeves again, and the lobby of Huahua Pavilion was noisy again.

Outside, Wang Zhi, who was squatting on guard, had an unexpected harvest.The second and third yamen servants are escorting a widowed and thin man.

Seeing Zhou Tingyu approaching, Wang Zhi quickly pointed at this person and said, "Young Master Zhou! We have captured a person who is sneaking around outside the Huahua Pavilion, looking around. I guess he came to meet the kidnappers."

Zhou Tingyu: "Have you asked?"

Wang Zhi: "I asked. This person said that he was indeed here to wait for someone, but he didn't know who the kidnapper was. He was probably lying!"

Zhou Tingyu frowned, thinking to himself, the kidnapper went to Naohua Pavilion alone, and said that he killed Xu Zongyin at a late hour. The plan was very careful, but he arranged for a stupid person to meet him outside, which was unreasonable.

Seeing that the detained man looked ordinary, with a frightened expression on his face, he didn't seem like someone who could cause any trouble, so he said to him: "Oh? Who are you waiting for? Do you know the person waiting?"

The man shook his head and said hastily: "Young master, I really don't know anything. There is a man this afternoon who is a bit fat...

He came and gave me some money, and told me to come and wait at the entrance of Naohua Pavilion at Haishi. He didn't tell me what to wait for, but said that I could finish work and go home as soon as Zishi arrived. Unexpectedly, I was arrested by the county magistrate halfway. Oh... I really don't know what I did wrong! "

Why did he call out, frowned, and said: "Oh no! It's so loud!"

Zhou Tingyu also reacted immediately, and quickly said to Wang Zhi: "Master Xu may be in danger! You take this person back first, and please comfort Master Xu!"

The appearance of this man was for the kidnappers to delay time.He knew that the county government had already made preparations, so today's move was not for money and goods, but to test the water and see what kind of strength the county government could show to deal with this kidnapping case.

Unexpectedly, there are experts in the yamen, and the kidnappers can use ordinary men to fool the county magistrate, but there is nothing they can do.

This time, the kidnapper should know that he is powerless, and the county government will deal with it in accordance with the law. He can't get money, and he can't live.

An abandoned son who knew he was bound to die didn't need a life-saving straw, he would only be crazy to think about pulling the original life-saving straw and be buried with him.

Zhou Tingyu: "Master Xu said that the kidnappers will wait for him tomorrow in the woods on the outskirts of the city. There are so many people in Laihu, so it is not realistic to transport a living person over a long distance.

So I guess he will not place Xu Zongyin too far away from the woods, let's go, let's go to the woods on the outskirts of the city to look for it, maybe there will be something—"

The woods on the outskirts of the city are very large, the midnight is approaching, the moonlight is dim, and it is pitch black.

Zhou Tingyu searched inch by inch, only regretting that the bastard is not in hand, there is not even a lighting thing!

"Eh-"

"Be careful and don't trip."

Why did he hold Zhou Tingyu by his arm so that he wouldn't fall and eat shit.

Zhou Tingyu touched the back of his head and said: "This place is too dark, my eyesight is not very good, please trouble Mr. He to bear with me."

"Don't bother." He called softly.

Zhou Tingyu chuckled and continued to search inch by inch.

"Later, I found that the forests here all look the same, that is, there are no houses and no temples. It is not easy for Tibetans."

Why call: "So what do you think?"

Zhou Tingyu pointed to the top: "The trees here are tall and towering, with flourishing branches and leaves. If Xu Zongyin is on top of us, we can't find it no matter how we lower our heads."

Why did he call for understanding, and said to him: "Hold me."

"Ok?"

"hold me."

"Yi Huan, there is still business..."

Don't listen to Zhou Tingyu's entanglement, why did he hug him, and his spiritual power flew up steadily, "Didn't you say that you can't find it with your head down? Now come up. What are you thinking?"

Zhou Tingyu really thought too much, and when he heard He Zhihua's teasing, he blushed immediately, and he hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

Tengfei forest, every plant and tree is a bit clear wherever he passes.There was a faint fire in the distance, Zhou Tingyu was shocked when he saw it, and said, "Where is the man!"

Why called the person in his arms tighter, and speeded up quickly, but for a moment, the scene around the fire was clearly visible——

The kidnapper held a bunch of torches in one hand and stood on a branch of a tree. A Wenxiu man with his head bowed was tied to a tree trunk three feet away from him.

The kidnapper's name was A Ping, and he was vigilant. He immediately noticed that someone was coming, but he didn't evacuate with the hostages. Instead, he stood there with a half-smile and pointed the torch at the tied man.

If the torch is an inch closer, the thread of fire can burn his hair, and burn his body with the luxuriant branches and leaves.

But Ah Ping was not in a hurry to start, he seemed to be waiting, waiting for someone to come and share the joy of killing with him.
