C90 090 Kidnapping

Since he was kidnapped, he must have a reason for doing so.

Xia Yi quickly checked every corner of the house to see if the culprit had left any clues.

But he was not afraid of robbing money, at least it proved that Xia Yang was still safe.

If it was any other goal, Xia Yi forced herself to stop thinking about it.

However, the murderer in the room did not leave behind any clues.

The sound of Xia Yi rummaging through things very quickly woke him up.

"Sister, what are you looking for?" Xia Yue looked at Xia Yi who was walking around the room, and was a little puzzled.

Xia Yue held her head, a painful expression on her face.

"Yue Yue, do you feel a headache?" Xia Yi asked.

Xia Yue nodded her head, "I don't know why, but I still feel a little sleepy and am unable to open my eyes."

"Alright, I understand. You go to sleep first, I'm going out." Xia Yi did not plan to tell Xia Yue about Xia Yang's disappearance at the moment.

With that, she did not wait for Xia Yue's reaction, and opened the door, entering Jin Tao's room.

The window in Jin Tao's room was also destroyed, and from the window, she could see that Jin Tao was still sleeping.

Half of the fragrance was thrown outside the window, Xia Yi picked up the other half and smelled it, only asking a very faint fragrance.

It must have been the incense that had caused them all to fall into a deep sleep. Even the broken windows could not be heard.

"Jin Tao! Jin Tao! Wake up! " Xia Yi strongly patted on the destroyed window.

Jin Tao suddenly sat up on the bed, looking towards the source of the voice.

When she saw Xia Yi standing outside the window, she was both confused and shocked, "Sister Xia Yi, what happened?"

Saying that, she quickly put on some clothes and got down from the bed to open the door for Xia Yi.

"Why is the window broken?" After Jin Tao asked this question, she muttered to herself, "My sleep is shallow, I didn't hear anything at night …"

Xia Yi quickly explained everything that happened to Jin Tao, "It was the incense, someone sneaked in last night and used the incense to stun us, and took Yang away."

"Ah?" Is Yang in danger? " Upon hearing that Yang had lost his, Jin Tao immediately panicked.

"I'm not sure. I need to go to Lingshan Town. You stay at home and guard it well."

"I... I'll go with you. " Jin Tao did not know how she could help, but she felt that it would be more helpful.

"No." "Take care of Yue Yue at home. Also, don't tell Yue Yue about this yet."

"Fine." Jin Tao took a deep breath, trying her best to control her panic.

After Xia Yi reached the Lingshan Town, he went straight to Leng Qianjue's home.

In the past, Leng Qianjue had said that he would if there was anything that he could do to find him, and he even gave the address of his residence in the Lingshan Town to Xia Yi.

The house that Leng Qianjue bought was not a big one, only had a few rooms and a small yard.

He was usually the only one living here.

The courtyard's gate was tightly shut, and even though Xia Yi had knocked on the door for a long time, no one answered.

Xia Yi knocked on the door noisily. Leng Qianjue should have been able to hear it, but there was no other sound coming from the inside.

In the end, Xia Yi had no choice but to accept the fact that Leng Qianjue was not around.

Where else could Leng Qianjue go if not at home?

Xia Yi thought about it carefully. She didn't know much about Leng Qianjue, so she could only try her luck.

She would definitely go look for it in the Ruyi Manor.

Ever since Leng Qianjue moved to the Lingshan Town, practically every day's meal was settled at the Ruyi Manor. It was just that recently, Xia Yi had been coming to the Ruyi Manor a little less, and the number of times she saw Leng Qianjue a little less.

Thinking about it carefully, the last time she saw Leng Qianjue was when he specially delivered the list of books to her.

Just as Xia Yi walked to the Ruyi Manor entrance, she was stopped by a little boy, "Sis, this is something others asked me to give you."

With that, the little boy stuffed a piece of paper into Xia Yi's hands.

Just as the little boy was about to leave, Xia Yi grabbed her arm.

The little boy was extremely nimble, if not for Xia Yi's quick reaction, he would have ran away.

After grabbing onto the little boy, Xia Yi unfolded the slip of paper and took a look.

The note read: "If you want to save someone, bring a hundred taels of silver to the temple outside the town in four hours. Remember, do not report anyone!"

After reading the words on the paper, Xia Yi's face sank.

"Who told you to give this to me?"

The little boy shook his head, "I don't know either. He gave me a copper coin and told me to wait here for you."

"You still remember what she looks like, right?"

The little boy did not reply, but extended his hand out in front of Xia Yi, "Give me the money."

"Heh." Xia Yi laughed coldly, "I'm afraid you don't know what you are getting yourself into, if I were to report it to the officials, you would be my accomplice. Are you sure you want to go to jail for this little bit of money?"

It wasn't that Xia Yi couldn't afford to use money to buy information, it was just that she wasn't willing to let the little boy earn money.

Hearing the word 'jail', the little boy visibly winced. He then said, "I don't mind telling you. It's a man, tall and thin. He doesn't look anything special. I only know this much."

"Can I go now?" After she finished speaking, she looked up at Xia Yi.

Only then did Xia Yi let go of her hands. From the way the little boy was dressed, he should just be a little beggar from the town.

Just as Xia Yi let go of her hands, the little boy turned around and ran off, quickly disappearing into the crowd like a loach.

From the description given by the little boy, Xia Yi could not get any useful information. She could not remember having had a conflict with a tall and thin man.

The only person she could think of was Niu Dazhi, but Niu Dazhi had an extremely robust appearance, so he could not be considered to be thin at all.

The man asked for a hundred taels of silver. It was hard to tell if it was only for the sake of money.

Since it was for money, then Xia Yang should not have any accidents for the time being.

However, it was limited to these four hours.

No matter what, she wouldn't be able to gather a hundred silver.

Xia Yi first walked a circle around Ruyi Manor, but did not discover Leng Qianjue's figure.

After asking a attendant, he found out that Leng Qianjue hadn't come to the Ruyi Manor for three or four days.

Other than knowing that the other party was plotting something, Xia Yi knew nothing about the other party's background.

It was hard to say if she could even protect herself by herself, much less save Xia Yang.

But if she couldn't find Leng Qianjue, who else could she go to?

After all, this was not the era where information was easy to spread. The risks to the officials were too great, so she did not dare to take Xia Yang's life as a joke.

After thinking about it, Xia Yi could only go to Chu Mansion to ask for Old Lady Chu's help.

She also knew that it was a bit rash to go over. She had only met Old Lady Chu a few times, and Old Lady Chu did not have the obligation to help.

But for Xia Yang's sake, she could only brace herself and give it a try.
