Chapter 166 Kidnapped Qian Dazhuang
Although she had decided to go into the city to look for Du Kongqing as soon as the city gates opened tomorrow morning, Luo Xiaoran was still uneasy. After telling her family, she decided to stay outside Fuyuan County with Sun Qingyuan tonight.
Qiu Niang also wanted to go along, but was rejected by Luo Xiaoran.
"You are unfamiliar with the place, so please help me take care of Chen'er and Niu Dan at home!"
"it is good."
……
"Squeak-"
When the first ray of morning sun broke through the clouds in the east, the gate of Fuyuan County finally opened slowly.
Sun Qingyuan, who had not slept all night, drove the car forward with red eyes and almost hit the soldiers guarding the city gate who had just opened it.
"What are you doing!" Two soldiers guarding the city drew their swords and blocked the way ahead, shouting angrily at Sun Qingyuan on the carriage.
Luo Xiaoran caught up with the horse from behind and said to Sun Qingyuan, who was sitting high in the carriage, in a deep voice: "Get down!"
In Daliang, commoners were not allowed to ride horses or carriages to enter the city gate, and scholars were no exception, unless you held an official position.
Sun Qingyuan also realized his current situation. In order not to waste time looking for Du Kongqing, he took the initiative to salute the two city guards: "I was too anxious and forgot the rules of passing through the city gate. Please don't bother with me, gentlemen."
The two soldiers guarding the city gate had been there for many years and had heard of the young master Sun, whose family had fallen on hard times, and had even heard of his bad temper.
They looked at each other and were all surprised. They didn't expect that the sun would rise from the west today and this famous "poisonous tongue" would actually give in to them.
However, Sun Qingyuan was lucky. The two old city guards in their early thirties were no longer young and vigorous, and their energy was still as strong as before. They were sleepy and had no interest in anything. They waved their hands to let Sun Qingyuan and Luo Xiaoran in.
Luo Xiaoran looked at Sun Qingyuan with a complicated look and didn't say much. The two of them split up, Luo Xiaoran went to Po Wa Lane to find Zhao Xiaobing, and Sun Qingyuan went to find Wang Changbo, hoping that these two people could help.
Powa Lane is still dilapidated and desolate. Because the weather has turned cooler, there are fewer people sleeping on the ground on the street. I wonder if they have found a place to shelter or have frozen to death.
Luo Xiaoran quickened her pace and walked into the small shabby house in her memory. The windows of the small shabby house had been almost repaired, but the roof was still as shabby as before, so the house was particularly cold.
"Sister Ran! What brings you here today?"
Zhao Xiaobing walked out of the inner room. Although his voice was excited, he lowered his voice. He was probably afraid of waking up the little ones who were still asleep inside.
Luo Xiaoran didn't waste time talking to him. "The person who came with me last time is missing. Has any of you seen her?"
Zhao Xiaobing's eyes turned, as if he was recalling Du Kongqing's appearance, "Are you talking about the sister who disguised herself as a man?"
"Yes, someone saw her coming to Fuyuan County yesterday morning with a burly man." Luo Xiaoran added.
Zhao Xiaobing shook his head. "It's getting colder and colder, and there are fewer people on the street. We can't get anything good, and we're afraid of getting sick from the cold, so we haven't gone out for a few days."
"I should have thought of it earlier," Luo Xiaoran smiled bitterly, "Take me to Qian Dazhuang's house. Didn't I ask you to find out about this a long time ago?"
An Ruquan had done a lot of bad things before, which affected many people. Now that he was dead, it was all over. But there was still one person who needed to be punished, and that was Qian Dazhuang, who betrayed Du Kongqing to An Ruquan.
This man appears to be honest but is actually despicable at heart. He even wants to use the reward he got for betraying Du Kongqing to invite Luo Xiaoran out, which really makes Luo Xiaoran extremely disgusted.
At that time, Luo Xiaoran asked Zhao Xiaobing to help her find Qian Dazhuang's address, intending to teach this villain a lesson. Unexpectedly, she was kidnapped by Zhu Jingxing and taken to Changzhou, and the matter was delayed.
Last night Zhang Xiaohu said that the person who called Du Kongqing away was a tall and strong man, and Luo Xiaoran immediately thought of Qian Dazhuang.
Sun Qingyuan didn't know the role Qian Dazhuang played in An Ruquan's case, and he had been at odds with Qian Dazhuang for a long time. Luo Xiaoran didn't tell him that he had harmed Du Kongqing because she was afraid that he would act impulsively...
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind along the way, and soon, Zhao Xiaobing brought Luo Xiaoran to a small courtyard.
"You should go back first! There is nothing for you to do here."
After Zhao Xiaobing left, Luo Xiaoran raised her eyes and glanced at the wall, then took a few steps back to leave space for a run-up, and quickly flipped over the wall without any delay.
……
Broken tile lane and barren forest.
Qian Dazhuang, who was lying on the ground, woke up and felt sore all over. When he saw his hands and feet were tied up, his confused head finally came to clarity.
Just as he was struggling to get up, a foot suddenly appeared and kicked him down.
"Ouch!"
Qian Dazhuang's mouth was still open with surprise, but when he saw clearly who was in front of him, he was completely stunned.
"Constable Qian, how are you?" Luo Xiaoran stood with her hands behind her back, looking at Qian Dazhuang coldly.
Qian Dazhuang subconsciously shrank back, swallowed, cleared his throat and said, "Miss Luo, why are you here?"
Luo Xiaoran didn't want to waste time talking to him. Like Sun Qingyuan, she also didn't sleep all night because she was worried that something might have happened to Du Kongqing and she felt very upset.
"Where did you take Du Kongqing?"
Qian Dazhuang looked into Luo Xiaoran's cold eyes and blurted out the denial, "I didn't do that. I was on official business yesterday. The other detectives in the county office can testify for me."
Luo Xiaoran's face twitched and she glared at Qian Dazhuang with disgust. Then she pulled out the dagger she usually used and quickly drained the blood from Qian Dazhuang's arm, causing him to scream in pain.
"I didn't say Kong Qing disappeared yesterday."
Qian Dazhuang's face was covered in sweat from the pain, and the look he gave Luo Xiaoran had changed from surprise and vigilance to fear, "I don't understand what you are saying?"
The fatigue from a sleepless night and the worry about Du Kongqing exhausted Luo Xiaoran's last bit of patience. She stepped on Qian Dazhuang's abdomen and pressed down hard, causing Qian Dazhuang to groan in pain.
"stop!"
Luo Xiaoran did not stop and continued to step on his abdomen, the wounds on his arms, and his fat face.
"I said...I said where did Du Kongqing go..."
Luo Xiaoran stopped what she was doing and looked at Qian Dazhuang in silence, waiting for him to continue.
"You...you untie the knots on me first." The bright red blood stained his yellowish teeth. Blood foam splashed out as he spoke, and some of it mixed with saliva and flowed down from the corners of his mouth.
Luo Xiaoran acted as if she was not seeing anything. She felt neither disgusted nor sympathetic. She cooperated with his performance as if she was watching a clown and cut the knot in unison.
After regaining his freedom, Qian Dazhuang turned his swollen wrist, and his wrinkled face relaxed. His nostrils turned slightly flared, his lips were tightly pursed, and finally he curled his lips upwards, revealing his fierce look.
