When Mr. Ferguson and the others arrived at Gardiner's house, it was in chaos. Mrs. Bennet's crying and screaming almost knocked the roof down. She kept scolding Mary and Kitty, thinking it was They had lost her dear little daughter, and no matter what Mrs. Gardiner tried to persuade Mrs. Bennet, she continued to curse.Mr. Bennet and Mr. Gardiner walked around the room in a hurry, and Kitty didn't say anything clearly. They knew nothing now except that Lydia had been kidnapped.Jane was taken aback, clutching her stomach and being carried upstairs to the room by Elizabeth. She was crying in worry. Elizabeth was worried and angry at the same time. She always felt that Mrs. Bennet had indulged Lydia. Now it's all right. She didn't know what trouble she caused, but she was kidnapped.

"Lixi, what should I do if something happens to Lydia, my mother will be very sad." Jane leaned on the bed and wiped her tears.

"Kitty didn't explain what happened at all. She didn't even get back the letter from the kidnapper. Now we don't know what happened. It doesn't make sense that Lydia was kidnapped for no reason. " Elizabeth stood at the window and said frowning.

"We'll know what's going on when Mr. Collins comes, but Miss Maria was also kidnapped. I hope God bless Lydia and her without any accident." Jane held the cross on her chest and began to pray.

Elizabeth didn't speak, just looked out of the window at the carriage that suddenly stopped in front of Gardiner's house. After Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Richard got out of the carriage, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Collins also jumped out of the carriage. He looked up Looking towards the window on the second floor, I happened to meet Elizabeth's eyes.Elizabeth felt her heart beating rapidly, she quickly took a step back, then straightened her skirt, and hurried downstairs.

"Lissie, why are you down? Go and take care of Jane. You don't have to worry about things here." Mrs. Gardiner saw Elizabeth running downstairs, and immediately grabbed her and said.

"Auntie, Jane is just a little sad. She's fine now. I want to hear what's going on with Lydia." Elizabeth said, walking directly into the living room.

Mr. Bennet and Mr. Gardiner were reading the letter from the kidnapper. Mr. Collins briefly explained the development of the incident. When everyone knew that the cause of the incident was Wickham, Mrs. Bennet almost fainted for she was the most approving member of the family for Lydia and Wickham being together.

"Isn't Mr. Wickham a military officer? How could he owe someone money? God, the other party wants [-] pounds. How could Mr. Wickham owe so much money?" Elizabeth read the letter and couldn't believe it. Said.

"Whether Mr. Wickham owes so much money or not, we have to make preparations first. In case no one can be found, in order to ensure the safety of the two ladies, we can only give money, and each family will prepare [-] pounds "Mr. Richard said that the Ferguson family can't take out [-] pounds for a while, but they can still take out [-] pounds.

"How do we find someone? The letter didn't say where to pay to pick him up." Mr. Bennet said anxiously, stroking his beard. Even if it was five thousand pounds, it would be very difficult for the Bennet family to get it out. Yes, after all, his annual income is only [-] pounds, half of which is needed for the family, and the rest has to be saved for the dowry of his five daughters.

"I will ask a friend of mine to help me send some people to search in the city and suburbs of London. We will also go to places like underground casinos and pubs. It is impossible for them to leave London to go to other places. Most likely Possibly in the suburbs," Mr Darcy said.

"Mr. Darcy, please help find Lydia." Elizabeth suddenly walked in front of Mr. Darcy, looking at Mr. Darcy affectionately with teary eyes.Now Elizabeth felt very helpless, but the presence of Mr. Darcy reassured her a lot. He knew that Mr. Darcy was the most capable of all the people present. As long as Mr. Darcy helped, Lydia would definitely be found.

Mr. Darcy was stiffened by Elizabeth's sudden movement. He quickly looked away and said, "I will try my best to help."

"Mr. Bennet, do you know where Mr. Wickham lives? I think he may know who kidnapped Maria and Lydia. This will help us find someone." Mr. Collins saw Elizabeth look Mr. Darcy's eyes were a little wrong, and he immediately interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Kitty knows that she and Lydia went to Mr. Wickham before. Kitty, you take us to Mr. Wickham now." Mr. Bennet turned to the crying Kitty said Dee.

Under the leadership of Kitty, everyone quickly found John's house where Wickham was temporarily staying. Wickham had just received a letter from Robert not long ago, asking him and the Bennet family to contribute [-] pounds , otherwise Lydia and Maria would not have been released.Wickham immediately started packing his luggage after reading the letter. He didn't want to be responsible for the lives of the two ladies at all, ten thousand pounds, unless he became a rich man like Darcy, or the Bennet family and Ferguson The family became a rich family, otherwise Wickham would have no way of getting the money.

It's a pity that Wickham had a lot of things to pack. When he went downstairs with his luggage, he bumped into the Ferguson family and the Bennet family who came to look for him.

"Mr. Wickham, thank God you are at home, we need your help with something." Kitty rushed up and shouted when she saw Wickham, not paying attention to the luggage in Wickham's hand.

"I'm sorry, Miss Kitty, but I have many things to do, and I must leave at once," said Wickham, stuffing his luggage into the carriage.

"Wickham, the matter hasn't been resolved yet. Where do you want to go?" Mr. Darcy knew that Wickham was going to abandon the matter and run away when he saw Wickham's appearance, but now he knows a little clue Only Wickham, and he would not let him go.

"Darcy, I don't know what you're talking about. I still have to do business and I don't have time to spend here." Wickham said with a frown. He wanted to shake off Mr. Darcy's hand, but Mr. Darcy held him firmly, and would not let him go.

Mr. Collins drove the coachman away, walked up to Wickham, took out an old letter paper half exposed from his pocket, and said: "You don't know, so what is this?" The letter paper, It was the kidnapper who wrote the letter.

Wickham had no choice but to put on a show. Seeing that the two families surrounded him and refused to let him go, he simply refused to leave. He smiled, looked at Mr. Darcy and said, "Darcy, this matter has nothing to do with you." Let's do it!"

Darcy held Wickham's arm tightly, glared at him and said, "My lover's sister was also arrested, and this matter is naturally related to me."

"Oh, Miss Elizabeth?"

"Miss Elizabeth and I are just friends. My lover is Miss Andrea Ferguson. Miss Maria was also arrested."

Wickham was taken aback when he heard that, and he said in surprise: "What, I thought they only captured Lydia." Wickham was a little scared, Robert dared to kidnap and implicate him Darcy is a very protective person. If something really happens to Maria, Darcy will definitely send him to prison without mercy, and maybe someone will give him a sentence. death penalty.

"Maria stayed with Lydia and was taken away together. You have to tell us who did it, where they lived, and where they usually go." Mr. Darcy let go of Wickham's hand. Arm, instead grabbing the collar of his clothes and said.He had had enough of Wickham's innocent expression, obviously he was the cause of this incident.

Wickham felt ashamed of being grabbed by the collar by Mr. Darcy on the street. He pushed Mr. Darcy away vigorously, and said reluctantly while straightening his collar: "I haven't talked to that person for a long time. Contacted, I don't know if he can't live in the old place, as for the places they usually go to, underground casinos or brothels, I don't know anything else. Darcy, you know, my debt has long been paid off Now, now I don't owe anyone money, this matter has nothing to do with me, do you think so?"

Mr. Darcy was very angry, but he did not hold Wickham any longer, knowing that Wickham was warning him not to provoke him, or he would tell of Georgiana's elopement with him.

Mr. Collins knew that Mr. Darcy and Mr. Wickham were enemies, and there would be conflicts when they stayed together, but the current situation was not suitable for quarreling, so Mr. Collins stood between them and said: "Mr. Wickham , can you tell me the name and appearance of the person who grabbed Maria and Lydia?"

"I don't know who wrote this letter, but I guess it might be Robert Pattinson. He just came to me yesterday and threatened to tell me about my past unless I gave him five hundred pounds. I Just gave him the money. Patterson has always been a greedy and vicious man," Wickham said.

"Then tell us what this man looks like."

"Brown hair, brown eyes, eyelids pulled up, hooked nose, 30s, known to everyone in the underground casino. He used to live in the attic of the house next to the George's Tavern, and now I don't know where he lives. I That's all I know, and nothing else," Wickham said.

"Mr. Darcy, please go to your friends immediately to find someone based on this information. As for Mr. Wickham, we may still need your help, so you'd better not leave London for the time being." Mr. Collins said , while holding Wickham who wanted to get into the carriage.

"You can't stop my actions, and you are not the one I kidnapped."

"But if it wasn't for you, how could Lydia and Maria be kidnapped?"

"Mr. Wickham, you'd better pray to God to bless my daughter from any harm, otherwise I will never let you go." Mr. Ferguson said looking at Wickham.
