Jiang Li jumped up, stepped lightly on the shoulder of a passerby with the tip of her toes, and passed by lightly like a dragonfly skimming the water.

By the time people reacted, she had already drifted away like a wisp of smoke.

How could those two kidnappers outrun them?

After a while, they were caught up by Jiang Li and Xie Changan, who snatched the children from their arms and kicked them to the ground one by one.

At this time, several factory guards, dragging Hei Yao and several factory dogs, came running over breathlessly. Hei Yao and Hua Bao pounced on them and pinned down the two suspected kidnappers. The two men were so scared that they screamed, "Help!"

The factory guards hurriedly saluted Jiang Li and Xie Changan: "My Lord, Mr. Xie, I don't know what's going on with Hei Yao and the others. They are desperately running towards this side..."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I called them here."

The factory guards then breathed a sigh of relief, as they had thought that the dogs had suddenly gone crazy and scared them to death.

Jiang Li looked at the little girl in her arms. Her eyes were closed and she was unconscious. The same was true for the boy in Xie Changan's arms.

Her face changed: "What did you do to the child?"

Xie Changan kicked the man and said, "Are you a beggar? Tell the truth!"

The man argued, "This is my child. He is suddenly ill and I am taking him to the clinic. Sir, please let us go!"

Jiang Li looked at the girl in her arms: "Is this also a sudden illness?"

The woman stammered, "Yes... yes..."

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Jiang Li sneered, "Obsidian, Leopard!"

Obsidian and Leopard bit down on the two men's calves. The two men screamed in pain: "I confess, I confess! Sir, spare our lives!"

The crowd watching applauded.

"Are these two nobles the gods who save people from suffering on the Aoshan Lantern?"

"How come you don't recognize them? They are the marquis lady and her husband!"

Passersby who had their shoulders stepped on by her felt extremely honored.

"I am so lucky to have a fairy step on my shoulder!"

"The Marquis also stepped on my shoulder! He is indeed as light as a swallow and as graceful as a startled swan!"

Many people spat on the two crutches.

"You damn kidnapper, you deserve to die!"

"You deserve to be torn into pieces by five horses and cut into pieces by a thousand knives!"

Who doesn’t have children? They are the apple of our eye, the treasures of our parents’ eyes. But they are kidnapped by these kidnappers. Isn’t this like digging out someone’s heart?

Xie Changan ordered the factory guards to take the two kidnappers back to the East Factory for interrogation, and sent the two unconscious children to the tent of the Longmen Medical Bureau.

To be on the safe side, the East Factory, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Five Cities Military Command, the Imperial Hospital, and the Longmen Medical Bureau all set up tents at various locations during the Lantern Festival and took turns on duty.

After the doctor from the medical department made the diagnosis, he smiled and said, "It's okay. He was drugged and will wake up soon."

At this time, the young eunuch from Yuanbao faction came over, asked what had happened, and hurried back to report.

When Nangong Qinghe heard that Marquis Jing'an and his wife had saved two beggar children, he couldn't help but sigh that the two children were so lucky. If they hadn't met them, who knows where they would have been sold to.

He immediately ordered the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard to step up their patrols and make sure all the kidnappers were brought to justice.

How dare they capture people right under his nose? How lawless and audacious!

The victims also came over after hearing the news. They were all children from wealthy and powerful families. One was the youngest daughter of Prince Zhongshan, and the other was the grandson of Lord Chang.

These two families had lost their children and were extremely anxious. When they heard that Marquis Jing'an and his wife had rescued two children, they hurried over to claim them.

The two children woke up slowly, and when they saw their family, they burst into tears.

Prince Zhongshan and Lord Chang were extremely grateful to Marquis Jing'an and his wife, but the two had gone out to enjoy the lanterns again, and with so many people around, how could they find them?

I had to send the child back home first and then go to thank him the next day.

Jiang Li spent half a day at the Lantern Festival, then went for a midnight snack and visited the Lantern Market. After a crazy shopping spree, the guards' hands were full of toys of all sizes. Only then did they return home with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

Xie Changan couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate that he brought so many guards, otherwise, if he were alone, wouldn't he become the peddler's shelf full of goods?

The Eastern Depot interrogated the two kidnappers overnight, followed the clues and destroyed their base in the city, rescuing more than a dozen children who had been begged.

The victims were all extremely grateful when they got their children back.

After capturing all the kidnappers in that stronghold and interrogating them severely, the East Factory obtained important information.

These kidnappers belong to the Red Flower Society, which in turn belongs to the Dark Door.

The base of the secret door in the capital city was actually the most famous brothel - Qunfanglou!

The Eastern Depot immediately sealed off the Qunfang Tower. All the other prostitutes were there, but the twelve "Flower Goddesses" who were both talented and beautiful disappeared without a trace overnight!

"There must be something wrong with the identity of these 'Twelve Flower Gods'!"

Captain Xu personally interrogated the brothel owner of Qunfanglou.

When the madam saw the torture instruments, she collapsed to the ground and cried, "What secret door? I don't know! I'm just doing business honestly!"

"The twelve flower gods came here on their own and did not sign a contract to sell themselves. I really don't know who they are!"

"The kidnapper of the Red Flower Society confessed that Qunfanglou is the base of the Anmen in the capital. As the madam of Qunfanglou, how come you didn't know about this?" Captain Xu asked sternly.

The madam cried, "I really didn't know! Ever since the Twelve Flower Gods came, Miss Peony has been the boss in the building!"

The brothel owner confessed that Qunfang Tower was actually the property of the King of Qi!

After the Prince of Qi was defeated and fled, Qunfang Tower was ownerless for a while. The madam was secretly delighted that such a huge property actually fell into her hands!

Unexpectedly, not long after, the Twelve Flower Gods arrived. Holding the token of King Qi, they took over the Qunfang Tower.

As for the secret door, the madam was the King of Qi's man and was not a gangster, so naturally she didn't know about such an organization.

"Qunfang Tower is actually the property of the King of Qi? And later it became the base of the Dark Gate in the capital?"

Jiang Li was also surprised. She didn't expect that by catching a kidnapper at the Lantern Festival, she could actually uncover a big melon!

"So, the King of Qi is also in collusion with the secret door?" Xie Changan pondered.

"Brother Chang'an, have you forgotten? The Beggars' Sect revealed that after Miao Gu rescued the King of Qi, he used the secret door to escape successfully!"

"Could it be that the Dark Gate has been colluding with Miao Gu and Nan Yi for a long time?"

It turns out that there is more than one melon on this vine, and each melon that is touched is bigger than the last!

Nangong Qinghe was also shocked after reading the confession. He never expected that such a dangerous factor was hidden under his nose!

He also didn't expect that the King of Qi, the Dark Gate, and the Southern Yi had already colluded with each other and were ready to create an explosion at the Lantern Festival in an attempt to murder him and the people of the capital!

He gritted his teeth and ordered a thorough investigation of the Red Flower Society and the Anmen, and to capture the leaders of the Red Flower Society and the Anmen, as well as their strongholds in various places, leaving no one alive!

When all the ministers heard this explosive news, they all sighed and said that Marquis Jing'an was really a lucky star. He could achieve such a great achievement by catching a kidnapper. They really admired him very much!
