"Elopement, this?" Tianquan was greatly surprised when he heard this. He really didn't expect that it would be such a thing.
After a short sigh, the housekeeper said: "The young lady is young and ignorant, and must have been deceived by the thief. The day before yesterday, the young lady went to a temple outside the city to burn incense and pray for blessings, but the master waited at home for most of the day and did not see her come back. Only after asking... ...Oh, what a sin.”
In the butler's subsequent narration, Tianquan learned that the eldest daughter of the Xu family disappeared after praying for blessings. Some people said they saw her getting into a man's carriage and then disappeared.
Xu Manqing was furious when he found out about this, and immediately sent out Jianghu masters from Zhuangzi to search for traces of the eldest daughter of the Xu family along the way, but they followed the road for dozens of miles and found no useful clues.
To this day, the whereabouts of the eldest daughter of the Xu family are still unknown. In the past two days, Xu Manqing has been furious because of this matter, and servants like them are also frightened.
After Tianquan heard this, he was silent for a long time, and could only say apologetically: "I came from the north on this trip, but I don't have any clue. I'm sorry."
The housekeeper hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Young hero, why are you doing this? This has nothing to do with you..."
The two chatted some more. When Tianquan saw the housekeeper's anxious expression, he stopped stopping him from doing things. He ended the topic in a hurry and let the other person leave.
Finally, the housekeeper solemnly reminded Tianquan that he must not mention this matter in front of Xu Manqing to avoid touching the other party's sadness, and Tianquan agreed repeatedly.
After watching the butler leave quickly, Tian Quan took two steps, but suddenly turned back and glanced at the back of the butler. His eyes moved slightly, as if he was thoughtful.
After an uneventful night, Tianquan was still staying at Zhuangzi the next day. He was also invited to have dinner with Xu Manqing. During the dinner, he carefully observed the other person's expression and discovered something was wrong.
Xu Manqing is never happy without drinking, and he smells of alcohol all the year round. It is said that the more alcohol he smells, the harder it is to hide the things and emotions in his heart. However, Tianquan discovered that Xu Manqing looked optimistic and had nothing to do with the loss of his daughter. What to worry about.
After finishing the meal, Tian Quan felt more and more that something was wrong. When he saw Xu Manqing yesterday, the other person looked like this. It would be fine to say that this person was very deep and could not express his emotions or anger, but yesterday he I have only heard the other party angrily scolding his servants.
Obviously, although Xu Manqing is not like a young boy who will not show everything on his face, he should not be able to hide it completely in his heart without revealing any trace.
But the housekeeper had warned Tianquan not to mention this matter in front of Xu Manqing, so he never spoke.
After all, it was very rude to pry into other people's family affairs in private. If he interfered more, he would probably cause Xu Manqing's displeasure. Therefore, even though he was suspicious, Tianquan still resisted asking.
The days passed peacefully for three days.
Tian Quan felt that it was okay to hide like this, so he planned to go to a nearby town to get some information. Coincidentally, this time he met the housekeeper who was in a hurry again.
When the housekeeper saw Tianquan wanted to go out, he privately asked Tianquan to pay more attention to see if there was any news about the eldest daughter of the Xu family when he went to town.
At the same time, he also repeatedly warned the other party that this matter was a scandal of the Xu family and should not be spread outside. When Tianquan inquired about the information, he must be more careful and not expose it.
Tianquan had received the favor from the Xu family, so naturally he would not refuse it now, so he set out on the road with his own purpose and the butler's request.
In the town, Tianquan did not gain much. People like monks and Taoists are not uncommon in the world. Unless they are bearded monks with obvious characteristics like Huxianlou Amu, others will not take them seriously at all. superior.
After making a large circle around the town, Tianquan still found nothing, but just when he was about to give up and go back to Xujiazhuang, he suddenly learned a piece of important information from a beggar on the street.
】
"Girl? Yesterday morning, when I went out, I did see a carriage leaving the town with a girl, but I don't know the rest," the beggar said.
"Yesterday?" Tian Quan frowned. This was far from the information he knew. According to time, Miss Xu's family had been missing for four or five days.
However, he also understood the meaning of darkness under the lamp. Tianquan was unwilling to let go of any clues, so he took out a few pennies and handed them to the beggar, and then asked: "Please think carefully, what other characteristics does that girl have?" No?"
The beggar accepted the money and said overjoyed: "Hey, let me think about it, there are many characteristics. Looking at the girl's dress, it seems that she comes from a wealthy family, and those who have been tough in life... Judging from the girl's appearance, she must be reluctant."
Tian Quan's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked the other party where he saw the girl being taken away. The beggar lazily pointed in the direction, and he immediately took out a few more copper coins. The road started.
Tianquan and the beggar walked around in the alley for many times before they came to a dilapidated courtyard.
The beggar brought the person and left. Tian Quan frowned and looked at the courtyard. He looked up at the wall that was as tall as one person. He narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately mobilized his true energy to shoot out with a palm and blast open the door. After that, he turned over and jumped onto the wall.
Several ferocious men who heard the noise in the yard rushed to the door and found no one. Tianquan jumped down from the wall at this time, slapped them again, and knocked several of them to the ground in one glance.
When several people saw his great martial arts skills, they immediately changed their ferocious expressions and begged for mercy in mourning: "My hero, please spare my life!"
Tianquan was about to question a few people, but his ears caught the cry of a woman in the room next to him. His expression changed and he immediately walked into the room. He immediately saw several women who had their hands and feet bound and looked extremely frightened. people.
He lowered his face slightly, returned to the yard first, and immediately pulled out the sword behind him, pointing the sword's edge directly at the necks of several people, scaring them so much that they knelt down and kowtowed.
"Evil thieves who harm girls from good families, it is simply not a pity to die!" After Tianquan scolded him, he asked in a deep voice: "I will spare your lives for now. I ask you, where did you send the girl from the Xu family? ?”
Tianquan didn't see the twenty-eight-year-old girl in the house just now, and listening to what the beggar said, maybe the girl who was sent away was Miss Xu's family.
Those people looked up tremblingly: "Xu, girl from the Xu family? What girl from the Xu family?"
When Tian Quan saw that the man seemed to be trying to dodge when he spoke, he immediately thrust out his sword, causing his shoulder to turn red with blood. The pain made the man roll on the ground. Tian Quan pointed the sword at another man on the side.
The man was so frightened that his teeth trembled, and he said hurriedly: "Young hero, wait a minute! Yes, there is such a girl named Xu, please spare me! I will tell you her whereabouts right away!"
Tianquan put the sword on his neck and shouted: "Speak quickly!"
The man trembled and gave an address. Seeing that Tianquan was unmoved, he cried bitterly and swore to clean up all the evil things he had done since childhood. The sword moves away.
Tian Quan had no intention of letting these villains go. He tapped a few people's acupuncture points and waited for him to rescue the Miss Xu family before handing them over to Daxia Xu for disposal. Then he went to the house to rescue the innocent woman who was kidnapped.
After doing all this, Tian Quan came out of the yard. He went to the street outside the alley and found a passerby, asking him to help spread the news about Miss Xu back to Xujiazhuang.
Because the housekeeper had explained it, Tianquan's way of delivering the news was to write a letter and ask the other party to take the letter back, and he immediately chased the place where the evil men mentioned.
The passerby was also a warm-hearted person. Seeing that Tianquan was anxious, he patted his chest and promised to bring the letter to him.
But when he came to Xujiazhuang, after handing the letter to the door, the other party opened it and looked at it, but he was confused.
After reading the letter twice, he returned the letter and said, "Did this brother go to the wrong house? My husband only has two sons, and they are both teenagers. Where can I find a young lady?"
