I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Chapter 656: The Lady Was Kidnapped by the Man in Black

The doors of every room on the first floor were tightly closed.

The waiter at the inn doesn't even cook.

Who has the heart to cook at this time?

But if you don’t eat, your body will be weak, and if you are weak, it will be easy to not be able to get through.

Mrs. Ye wanted to gather a few strong daughters-in-law, but no one was willing to leave the room for fear of being infected.

Mrs. Ye is also afraid of being infected.

But she was Ye Tianguan's wife and by default the leader of these women.

She couldn't do anything since they all stayed indoors.

Ji Xiaobei went downstairs and gave her some advice.

Mrs. Ye rolled up her sleeves, knocked on doors one by one, and shouted frantically in the corridor.

"Each family should send out a woman to cook. Those without women should send out a man to fetch water and chop firewood. If a family does not send out a man, there is no hope of eating... Doctor Huang's medicine soup will not be given to you to drink. Those who want to live, come out. I will give you one stick of incense to consider..."

Mrs. Ye lit a stick of incense and sat cross-legged on a chair in the hall.

After a while, young wives came out one after another.

Some of the men living in the dormitory also came out.

She nodded with satisfaction to Ji Xiaobei upstairs and took people to the backyard.

Ji Xiaobei occupied Lu Xiong's small kitchen and used it to cook porridge and stew soup.

All the ingredients come from cold storage.

Zhao Yan looked at the chicken, duck, fish, meat and fresh vegetables in disbelief.

Ji Xiaobei said that it was left by the shopkeeper Lu Xiong.

As long as there is food, why bother asking where it comes from?

Zhao Yan just saw Lang Ning through the window, and she felt inexplicably nervous.

After following Ji Xiaobei, she and Lang Ning never met again.

Not even a word was said.

However, she was relieved that he could help Ji Xiaobei.

She had always been a drag, and now that Lang Ning was around, she felt relieved.

In the evening, Lang Ning came back.

Ji Xiaobei stood next to the stable in the backyard, and Lang Ning stood beside her respectfully.

"Miss Ji, we found Pa Zi and his brother. They are dead. Their bodies were found at the foot of Wufang Mountain in the northwest..."

Ji Xiaobei was shocked. Those two people were dead?

"I don't know who killed them, but after you beat them that night, they didn't return to their residence. I don't know if they were taken away directly or what happened. People outside the city are in a panic, saying that there is a plague. There are people from the Black Lotus Church distributing steamed buns... There are also many people from the Black Lotus Church in the city, spreading rumors that the Black Lotus Church can protect everyone... Many people believe it..."

"No response from the government?"

"Yes, but if Governor Dai sends people to encircle and suppress the Black Lotus Sect, they will be attacked by the people... The situation outside is a little difficult to control now..."

Lang Ning told everything he had seen and heard.

"Could it be that the government has been controlled by the Black Lotus Cult?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

Lang Ning shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Ji Xiaobei gave a few instructions, and Lang Ning nodded and disappeared into the night.

Daifuli.

Dai Xingchen and Mrs. Dai were extremely anxious.

"I've said it before, don't go against the people of the Black Lotus Sect. Don't care who they are, as long as they stay in the city in an orderly manner. Now, our daughter has been out for a day and there is no news from her..."

Mrs. Dai cried and blamed Dai Xingchen.

Dai Xingchen said angrily: "What do you know, woman? The Black Lotus Cult is inciting the people, so why should we behave ourselves? I just don't know who is behind them. How dare I act rashly? I don't know how long I can keep this official hat..."

Mrs. Dai raised her red and swollen eyes and asked, "What about Ruer?"

"Hasn't someone already been sent to look for it?"

A little maid ran in hurriedly from outside the door.

"Master, madam..."

Mrs. Dai stood up suddenly.

"The person who was looking for her came back and said that the young lady was kidnapped by some men in black..."

"Ah..." Mrs. Dai felt a black screen in front of her eyes and almost fell to the ground.

They have only one precious daughter. What should they do now?

The eldest son Dai Yang ran in.

He was studying in an academy in Yongchang Prefecture. A servant from his family went to the academy to ask him if the young lady had looked for him.

Dai Yang then realized that his sister was missing and ran back in a hurry.

"Father, mother..."

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his parents' faces were pale.

The little maid knelt on the ground.

"What's going on?" he asked the little maid on the ground.

The little maidservant didn't dare to hide it: "Miss, Miss was kidnapped by the man in black..."

Dai Yang was a little panicked: "Are they really from the Black Lotus Cult?"

"Don't talk nonsense..." Dai Xingchen scolded, "Don't talk nonsense without definite information..."

Once this news spreads, the consequences will be disastrous.

He clenched his fists and waited.

People from the Black Lotus Cult will definitely come and negotiate terms.

He felt that his daughter would be fine.

The person that the Black Lotus Cult wants to threaten might be me.

"Help Madam to the bedroom. Yang'er, go back to the academy. Don't get involved in family affairs. Dad has his own ideas."

Dai Xingchen and Dai Yang went out, and Mrs. Dai burst into tears.

In the evening, Dai Xingchen indeed received a letter.

The content of the letter roughly said that Dai Ru was in their hands and they wanted to have a talk with Mr. Dai.

Twelve o'clock midnight, Wufang Ancient Temple.

You can't bring anyone with you, otherwise Miss Dai's life will be in danger.

Dai Xingchen was furious.

"Where's the messenger?"

The servant said tremblingly: "It was a little beggar. He ran away after delivering the letter..."

"Waste... go find that little beggar..." Dai Xingchen tore the paper in his hand into pieces.

The servant retreated.

Dai Xingchen has been an official here for more than ten years and has a complex network of relationships.

Shu has many enemies and rivals.

The letter was unsigned and he couldn't figure out who it was.

His secret guards have already gone to Wufang Mountain.

His private guards are also ready to go.

Since he didn't know who kidnapped his daughter, he did not alert anyone else to avoid unnecessary trouble.

It was dark, and he rode his horse out of Dai's house through the back door.

Many of the counties under Yongchang Prefecture are located in the mountains, and the people there are tough and ferocious. He has seen a lot of them.

Every time it’s a close call.

It was not easy for him to maintain his position in Yongchang Prefecture.

He entered the designated location at the foot of Wufang Mountain alone.

In the dark grove, the cold moonlight cast a few spots of light, dark and eerie.

The cry of crows not far away is creepy.

He stepped sideways and dismounted from his horse.

I stopped and looked around, but didn't see anyone.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the woods, followed by a snap.

Something fell to the ground.

He took a few steps back and observed his surroundings vigilantly.

After a long period of silence, he took a few steps to check.

He only took one look, and the hair on his back stood up...
