The masked man then turned around and waved quickly to the person coming out from the corner.

The man was also dressed in gray clothes. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he immediately walked quickly towards the carriage.

He had just thrown the unconscious driver into the alley, tied up his hands and feet and gagged him, so he was delayed for a while.

"Let's go, hurry up."

One of them drove the carriage while the other looked around, and soon they drove the carriage out of the city gate.

********

On the other side, Xu Jinyu, who had returned home earlier, saw that her sister Wan Ning had not come back yet, so she immediately asked her subordinates to go out and greet her on the road.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the concierge ran up to her in a hurry with a letter in his hand, "Miss, Miss."

Xu Jinyu stood up immediately: "Why are you so flustered?"

"Would you like to take a look at this?"

Xu Jinyu immediately took what the doorman handed over, which was a handkerchief and a letter.

She opened the handkerchief first, and on it was the white magnolia pearl flower that Wan Ning had worn on her head when she went out today.

"how come?"

Xu Jinyu quickly opened the letter again. It said that the girl from the Xu family was in their hands. If they wanted to see her, they had to bring 100,000 taels of silver to redeem her.

"It's really hateful. Who kidnapped Xiao Ning?"

Xu Jinyu was anxious and angry, confused, and her head was throbbing. She was worried that her sister would be in danger, and she frantically searched for her possible enemies in her mind.

Then Xu Jinyu walked out: "Cai Die will go find Qing Bo immediately and let him take care of all the affairs in the mansion temporarily.

Cai Ling, you stay in the mansion and see if there are any suspicious people delivering letters or things. If you see them, stop them immediately."

Caidie and Cailing saw their daughter looking anxious. Although they didn't know what happened, they immediately responded: "Hey, don't worry, daughter."

The concierge was still following Xu Jinyu: "Miss, this is..."

Xu Jinyu raised her hand and immediately stopped the doorman from asking questions: "Guard the gate well. If any strangers come in, lock them up in the mansion first."

"Yes, yes, I will be careful."

As she spoke, Xu Jinyu went to the gate and told the driver to untie the carriage. Then she pushed her feet hard and immediately got on the horse.

"I'm going to the prefectural government," Xu Jinyu raised the whip and cracked it hard. With a "gig", the horse under him immediately galloped out.

Xu Jinyu was a little unstable at first and her body swayed a few times, but she held the reins tightly and soon stabilized herself.

The servants behind him were frightened by what they saw, but they knew how anxious their master was, and there was nothing they could do.

Xu Jinyu didn't know how to ride a horse before, but she learned it after going to Xihezhou and being encouraged by Chu Lingyue.

The horse's hooves were galloping all the way and almost hit someone on the road. Xu Jinyu was frightened and anxious.

When he arrived at the gate of the prefectural government, he jumped off his horse and rushed inside. The two gatekeepers of the prefectural government followed him anxiously and helplessly.

"Hey, big girl, you're making things difficult for me."

"I'm here to inform you, you're forcing your way in!"

Xu Jinyu didn't care about them and just wanted to see the master here as soon as possible.

It was the housekeeper who saw the people arguing in the courtyard and then led Xu Jinyu to the hall in the front yard.

Before entering the door, Xu Jinyu immediately shouted inside: "Uncle, uncle, help me."

Tu Baishan, who was sitting in the hall, was talking to Lin Moyu. Today was a day off, but there were still some matters that had not been sorted out, so he invited Lin Moyu to his house to chat.

Tu Baishan was stunned for a moment when he heard the shout, and then he nodded and apologized to Lin Moyu: "I'm really sorry, my niece may have something urgent."

Lin Moyu also nodded: "No problem, Master Tu, please do as you please."

After Xu Jinyu came in, she also saw Lin Moyu sitting next to her. She didn't care about anyone else, turned around, lifted her clothes and knelt down in front of Tu Baishan.

"Uncle, please save my sister."

At this time, Xu Jinyu was still wearing a blue men's suit. She knelt down when she saw people, which really surprised Tu Baishan.

He quickly stepped forward and said, "Yu girl, what are you doing?"

"Uncle, my sister was kidnapped. The robbers asked for 100,000 taels of silver to redeem her, otherwise they would throw my sister into Zhuliang Mountain."

"But they only gave me one hour, and it's really hard for me to do it. Uncle, I beg you to help save Xiao Ning.

Yu'er has no other family members, only Xiao Ning is left, you must save her."

After Xu Jinyu finished speaking, she handed the letter that she was holding tightly in her hand to Tu Baishan.

When Tu Baishan heard Xu Jinyu's words, his brows furrowed and he paced back and forth.

"Zhuliangshan is a bandit den, easy to defend but difficult to attack. I've been there several times before, but I couldn't get in. This time, oh well."

He was very confused about who had kidnapped Xu Wanning, but his immediate priority was to rescue her as soon as possible.

"When did you receive the letter? Who went out with Xiao Ning?"

When Xu Jinyu heard what her uncle Tu Baishan said, she immediately told him about her sister's whereabouts today.

Lin Moyu, who was sitting nearby, suppressed his anger and anxiety, and did not stand up until Xu Jinyu had told him everything he knew.

"Master Tu, I happen to know someone in Zhuliangshan. I will handle this matter personally."

Xu Jinyu and Tu Baishan were both a little surprised. They didn't expect that a government official would have connections with the bandits in Zhuliangshan. But everyone automatically ignored this problem. It was more important to find Xiaoning's people first.

Tu Baishan immediately cupped his hands and said, "Okay, I will also hand over my soldiers to Lord Lin for dispatch. In addition, my chief officer Liu Jun is a local and is very familiar with this place. He can also assist you in handling the case."

Lin Moyu also bowed in return: "Okay, I'll leave now."

Seeing that Lin Moyu was going out to look for his sister, Xu Jinyu immediately nodded to Tu Baishan: "Uncle, I'll go with you."

Lin Moyu led his men out of the city and sent out several teams to search along the road. As expected, they found the maid Yuhua on the roadside with a swollen forehead and difficulty in moving her legs.

When Xu Jinyu saw Yuhua being carried to her side, she immediately asked her where Wan Ning had gone.

Yuhua cried with tears all over her face and nose: "Miss, when I woke up, I saw two strange men driving the carriage, and I immediately asked them to stop. But they didn't listen and threw me out of the carriage."

"Okay, I get it. Which direction did they go?"

Yuhua immediately pointed the way: "It's in that direction, about two quarters of an hour away. I can't catch up with the carriage, so I have to go back to the city to find you."

Xu Jinyu said seriously, "Okay, I understand. I'll arrange for someone to send you back first. I will definitely find Xiao Ning."

"Yes, slave, I am ashamed."

Yuhua started crying again as she spoke. She was really incompetent. She called out to her daughter but failed to wake her up, and she couldn't stop the carriage.
