Jiang Rong heard the crying and suddenly pushed away the people blocking his way. He looked around but couldn't find Jiang Yun. He leaned over and grabbed Yongjia's arm, and asked in a trembling voice, "Yongjia, tell me, where is your little daddy? Tell me."

Ling Yun also rushed over, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, "Jiaer, good child, you say."

"Wow, woo, woo, woo. Just now they were fighting. Daddy held us and retreated backwards. Then he fell down, and when I stood up again I couldn't see Daddy anymore." Yongjia cried and pointed to the place where he had just stood, speaking intermittently.

Sure enough, there was a jade pendant on the ground. Jiang Rong stepped forward and picked it up, tears in his eyes, "This is the young master's jade pendant. I put it on him this morning."

Ling Yun frowned and grabbed the waiter and the shopkeeper beside him, "Who are you? Why are you kidnapping people?"

"No, no, we are all honest businessmen, ah~~~" Ling Yun directly broke the waiter's wrist bone, and he rolled his eyes in pain.

The shopkeeper swallowed, shrank back, and said in a trembling voice, "I, I, I took 20 taels of silver and led you into the store. I don't know anything else."

Ah Sheng stepped forward and whispered in Ling Yun's ear, "Master, hand these troublemakers and the shopkeeper over directly to the prince. I'm not afraid that he won't confess."

Ling Yun took a quick look and gradually calmed down. "Ah Sheng, tie them up and take them to the palace. Ask the prince to send people to seal off the city. Jiang Rong, you, Xuejuan, Yujuan and the children go back to the palace first."

"Yes." After receiving the order, several people took action.

Ling Yun and Qin Zijun searched the snack shop inside and out, but there was no one there.

Qin Zijun's face was gloomy and he clenched his fists. "Master, this matter is very strange. It may be related to..."

Qin Zijun gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid it has something to do with the eldest lady and Song Yue."

"It's more important to find someone first." Ling Yun clenched the jade pendant in his hand and walked towards the city gate.

As the two walked, Qin Zijun said, "Master, others may agree, but Miss and Song Yue will never agree."

"Not only will they not agree, they will also obstruct us in every possible way. I'm afraid the last time they came to your house as a guest, they wanted us to let our guard down, just for today's matter."

Ling Yun did not answer, but he was already somewhat shaken. When he arrived at the city gate, he first asked the soldiers guarding the city about the situation.

"There have been quite a few carriages leaving the city since this morning."

The soldier guarding the city paused, and Ling Yun immediately handed him a silver ingot. The soldier weighed it and continued,

"The strangest one was the one that just passed by. The body of the rickshaw was dusty and tightly sealed. The driver said that someone in his family was sick and he was going out of town to find a doctor. He couldn't stand the wind and drove for less than a quarter of an hour."

The soldiers guarding the city pointed in a direction, and Ling Yun gave them a few pieces of silver. "If someone comes to ask about us later, please tell him where we are going."

Then the two of them hurried out of the city, following the marks of the wheels along the way.

"Master, look." Qin Zijun shouted, and the two of them ran forward together.

In front of me was a carriage overturned on the ground. There was no one inside. Two people dressed as followers were lying on a tree by the roadside. They were knocked unconscious and tied together.

"Dong dong dong."

With his heart beating like a drum, Ling Yun ran to the carriage, only to find two shoes and a torn piece of clothing.

Qin Zijun took one look at Ling Yun's ashen face and felt a little scared. He didn't dare to think about it too much and slapped the fainted servant in the face.

After a few slaps, the two men woke up and wanted to intimidate them, but Qin Zijun drew his sword and pierced the shoulder of one of the bearded men.

"Ah~~"

A scream like a pig being slaughtered sounded, and then he pulled out his sword again and tried to stab the other square-faced man. The square-faced man opened his eyes wide in fear and shouted, "Master, master, spare my life."

"Ah~~"

Qin Zijun didn't waste any words and just struck with his sword. "Answer whatever I ask you. If you lie or answer slowly, hmph,"

Ling Yun walked closer, held the corner of the clothes and shoes in his arms, and asked coldly, "Where is the person you kidnapped now?"

The bearded man and the square-faced man glanced at the two men secretly, then looked at each other, and were scared to death. These two men didn't seem to be joking at all, and they were going to kill him.

After thinking for a moment, the two confessed everything, "Half a month ago, someone paid us to kidnap a man and send him to Fajing Temple."

The two men avoided each other's eyes, obviously not telling the truth. Just as Qin Zijun was about to raise his sword to chop, he heard the sound of horse hooves.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and Jingchen was seen riding a horse, leading a group of soldiers, running towards them.

"Xu~~"

Seeing the two of them, Jingchen turned over and dismounted, "How is it?"

Seeing the shoes in Ling Yun's arms, Jing Chen's face darkened and he looked at Qin Zijun. "Continue."

Qin Zijun nodded and raised his sword to stab.

The square-faced man kept begging for mercy, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life. I'll tell you everything."

Jingchen raised the whip in his hand and took a step forward. "Speak."

The square-faced man trembled as he said, "Someone paid us brothers to kidnap someone. They lured the person out of the city, and we two escorted him out of the city."

"Yes, yes, yes," the bearded man said hurriedly. If he didn't confess, his life would be in danger.

Ling Yun swung out a palm strike, causing the two men to bleed profusely from their mouths and noses. "If you dare to hide it again, I will kill you."

The bearded man rolled his eyes and said, "If you can spare our lives, I will tell you everything and will not hide anything."

Jing Chen said coldly, "I agree, hurry up and tell me, if you delay any longer, you will die."

The bearded man swallowed his saliva, and more sweat appeared on his forehead. "Yes, yes, the buyer originally said to send it to Fajing Temple, but..."

The square-faced man choked, "We met a robber on the road and the person was taken away."

"Snapped"

Qin Zijun held out his long sword, rubbing the square-faced man's cheek and nailing it to the tree, "Let's talk later."

The square-faced man was so frightened that he started shaking and yellow liquid was flowing out from his body. It turned out that he had peed his pants out of fear.

The bearded man took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "The buyer asked us to find a place to rape the man and then throw him on the street."

"My two brothers saw that he was handsome, so we wanted to sell him to the next county and make some extra money."

"On the way, we met a masked man who rescued the people. They went to the bamboo forest over there."

"Everything I said is true. Please spare us brothers, please spare my life, please spare my life, Master Ling."

Jingchen frowned, "Ye Xiao, take people to search."

Ye Xiao took the order and dispersed the people for the search.

Jingchen weighed the whip in his hand and asked, "Who is the buyer?"

"You know me, it's not difficult, but you also know him, huh, don't tell me."

The bearded man looked at the miserable state of the square-faced man and struggled for a moment, "Madam of the prefect."

"The prefect's wife said that I look like the leader of the river pirates. After kidnapping people for three to five years, no one remembers him anymore."

"Later, the wife of the prefect sent someone to tell her that she had changed her mind, but my brother and I don't like men, so we thought about selling him."
