Su Mingyue and Lianxiang disappeared for a whole day. At nightfall, the people who went out to search all returned, but found nothing. Everyone stood in the yard, looked at Dong Liu together, and waited for his orders.

"I can only wait. If it is a kidnapping, someone will come to ask for a ransom." Dong Liu clenched his fists.

Hong Ling cried anxiously, "Who is going to tie up my young lady? She is pregnant and will give birth soon."

Just as he was talking, suddenly the little yellow dog at home rushed to the door and barked. Dong Liu and the others stepped forward to take a look, and saw Lianxiang leaning against the wall and groping towards it step by step.

Dong Liu and Xiyu rushed forward to support her, checking her body for wounds.

"I'm fine, but Madam was taken away by people from Chunfuli, it's Mu Shisan who did it." Lianxiang still couldn't use her strength, she struggled to finish her sentence.

Xiyu checked up and down, and said in a low voice, "She must have been drugged."

Lianxiang rushed towards Dong Liu and knelt down, because her body couldn't support herself, she almost slipped and fell to the ground, lying on her feet, "This servant did not protect Madam well, please punish Liu Ye..."

Xiyu said: "Please Liu Ye don't blame Lianxiang, her martial arts foundation is not weak, the thief must have used some trick."

Dong Liudao: "Now is not the time to think about how to punish her."

The more he said this, the more Lianxiang blamed himself. Everyone usually saw her smiling and never crying, but now they burst into tears, "Qian Shanxue from Chunfu lied us to the teahouse and got drugged. If she takes it, Mu Shisan wants you to kill Li Mingtang to replace your wife." Lianxiang is still working hard to adjust her breath, trying to recover her physical strength quickly.

Dong Liu asked Hongling Cailian to help her to rest, and called Xiyu, "You go to Yanmenguan Changqinghe's mansion and look for Li Mingtang, and go now."

Dong Liu said to Feng Xu again: "Go to the barracks and call Ling Shishi, and bring his low-level soldiers, as well as the eighteen elites we usually train. Don't say anything, just say it's urgent, don't delay."

Xiyu and Fengxu received the order to fetch fast horses from the stables, set off quickly in the dark, and split up, one went to Yanmen Pass to find Li Mingtang, and the other went to the barracks to find helpers.

Cai Lian said anxiously: "Take soldiers to the kiln to ask for someone. If you want to get someone, then go for it. If you don't want it, will Liu Ye still be able to deal with people in the army in the future? Then Commander Chang Qinghe will definitely blame him... ..."

Dong Liudao: "Mingyue has only one life, what would I do without her?"

Ling Shisi arrived soon with his soldiers, and Li Mingtang also rushed to Dong's residence in the middle of the night. Dong Liu called Ling Shisi and Li Mingtang into the house, and told them the ins and outs.

Li Mingtang shrank his neck in fright, and then yelled, "Fuck his grandma, despicable, shameless, kidnapping a pregnant woman! Why didn't he just come and kill me?!"

Although Dong Liu felt early in the morning that Mu Shisan would not use Su Mingyue to threaten him, but he really did so, regretting that he was careless in making friends, calling Li Mingtang a brother and brother, and getting into trouble with this difficult person.At this time, Dong Liu said patiently: "Why don't you just kill him, and ask me for help?"

"This... But I didn't do such a thing as kidnapping a pregnant woman? I have an old grievance with him, and he is wary of me, so it is naturally inconvenient to make a move. You are not familiar with the place, and he doesn't know your details. You pretend to be a prostitute. , or that excuse to use someone to break in and kill him with a knife. You don’t want to, and I didn’t force you? I didn’t make you commit such a dirty trick. You just didn’t listen to me at the beginning Please persuade me, otherwise I wouldn't be so passive." Li Mingtang spread his hands.

Dong Liudao: "What kind of enmity do you have with him? It can't be the enmity of fighting over land and houses, right? Since he is a profiteer, everyone wants to fight with him, and everyone wants his life. Will he still survive?"

Li Mingtang was still hesitating whether to say it or not.

Dong Liu slapped the dagger on the table, "If you don't tell me, your life is nothing to me anyway, I do it or you do it yourself, you choose one."

"Brother Zhongjin!" Li Mingtang said and stepped back three steps. Dong Liu and Dong Xiyu behind him were all staring at him, making his heart tremble, and he forced a smile. He stammered and asked, "You Are you kidding me?"

Dong Liudao: "Do you think I am in the mood to joke with you?"

"How about this, you, me, and Dong Xiyu, the three of us discuss a perfect plan and go to Chunfuli to rescue your wife. My martial arts are not inferior to yours, and Mu Shisan is disabled and has limited mobility, so he is not our opponent." Li Mingtang was full of anticipation.

Dong Liudao: "I have many soldiers like mine, how can I still use you?"

Xiyu said: "The three caves of the cunning rabbit, Madam may not be placed in the spring blessing by them."

"Do you think my wife is hidden in the Spring Fortune?" Dong Liu squeezed out these words between his teeth, staring at Li Mingtang.

"No... Don't think too much... Although I'm not sure, but as long as we take Mu Shisan, can't we threaten him to hand over your wife?" Li Mingtang analyzed the pros and cons for everyone, and Mu Shisan of course They don't hide people in spring blessings. Even if they really hide them in spring blessings, if they go to ask for people, can Mu Shisan obediently hand them over?At that time, it will be tricky to refuse to admit it.

"You have followed Chang Qinghe in Yanmen Pass for so many years, so you know Songcheng better than Mu Shisan. Doesn't he have another lair here?"

Li Mingtang said: "That's what I want to know, but I really don't have it. Almost everyone in Chunfu has no other relatives, family members, or even friends in Songcheng. They all live and eat in Chunfu, which is a Songcheng It is a small country. Girls can only come in, unless they are carried out after death, and there is only one kind of people who can come out of it, and they are prostitutes."

We can only start from Chunfuli.

After pondering for a moment, Dong Liu asked, "You said... Mu Shisan has a disability?"

Li Mingtang nodded firmly, "Yes, with the strength of all of us, we will be able to catch it easily."

Dong Liuxin said that you just mentioned the strength of three people, but there is no need to worry about these details at the moment, he just said: "Are you fully sure?"

Li Mingtang said, "I have fought against him before, he has read a lot, he has won the Juren, he has no spare time to practice martial arts, even more impossible to defeat me after being disabled."

Dong Liu shook his head, "Is there no master around him?"

Xiyu beside him said: "Master Liu, if we want to save my wife for the present plan, I can only use this risky move. The other party can tie up a pregnant woman, which shows that he is not a gentleman. If you hand over the head of Li Mingtang, Mu Shisan will also be killed." It is not necessary to hand over Madam."

Li Mingtang nodded desperately.

Dong Liu stared at him, the question in his heart was not resolved, but he was not prepared to ask further.

"How about we report to the officials?" Li Mingtang tentatively asked, "Master Chang may be able to come forward."

Dong Liu was so angry that he wanted to slap him to death. "I'll take you to see Mu Shisan in Chunfu. Whether it's life or death depends on your fate. Will you go or not?"

"Go! Go! Go!"

The three left as soon as they said they would, Lianxiang was still struggling to get up in the room, Dong Liu scolded: "If you follow us like this, it will only slow you down. It's not that the more people go, the better, so you can wait at home."

Lianxiang had never seen her have such a tone in her life, so she lay down peacefully, not daring to cause trouble.

Dong Liu deployed the people, and the brigade set off overnight and headed straight for Chunfuli. When they saw the brightly lit signs in the night sky of Chunfuli, Dong Liu ordered everyone to dismount so as not to startle the snake.The soldiers spread out and hid under the wall in Hei Cen Cen's alley, completely surrounding Chun Fu Li.

Li Mingtang said: "Let's talk about it first, don't blame me for this matter, it is your duty to rob and kill the Mongols, it is because of this that he wants to kidnap your wife."

Dong Liubai glanced at him, "Then why did they ask you to be killed by name?"

Li Mingtang said: "He knows that I want to kill him."

Dong Liu sneered, "Are you a new friend, as long as you have a good foundation in martial arts, you will persuade others to help you kill?"

Li Mingtang pointed to the sky, "Only you, nothing else."

Dong Liudao: "Then don't I want to thank you for looking down on me?"

Li Mingtang was miserable, "You and I hit it off right away, this is also wrong? If you want to blame, blame Mu Shisan!"

Xiyu said: "Stop making noise, we've reached the place."

Dong Liu made a gesture and asked Xiyu to take Ling Shisi to climb over the wall from the small alley next to Chunfu Lane and enter Chunfu Lane at night, while he, Li Mingtang and others waited at the side door of Chunfu Lane.The side door of Chunfuli is extremely small, and on weekdays the back kitchen buys and pours night incense to enter and exit. It is only opened for a short while in the morning, and it is locked and bolted tightly for the rest of the time.

After a while, the old bustard in Chunfuli was taken hostage. Xiyu and Ling Shishi led her out from the side door. They planned to kidnap Qian Shanxue, but they learned from the old bust that she There is a benefactor in the room, so it is inconvenient to move.

The old bustard had just recovered from the shock, his mouth was covered and he couldn't shout.

Dong Liu personally interrogated her. At the beginning, the madam wanted to get close to Dong Liu with sweet words, but Dong Liu broke one of her little fingers without saying a word, and she burst into tears and confessed everything. It turned out that Mu Shisan was really there Inside, there was only Su Mingyue's whereabouts. She folded the other little finger, and still cried and said she didn't know.

Li Mingtang said: "Do you want to go in?"

Dong Liu was hesitating, seeing Li Mingtang's expression, he had to go in.He ordered Xiyu and Ling Shisan to find Mu Shisan at the location pointed out by the old bustard. After waiting for nearly a stick of incense, everything in Chunfu was as usual, and there was no noise at all, and Xiyu and Ling Shisan did not come back either. .

Walking around to the main entrance of Chunfuli, Dong Liu made up his mind, "Let me ask you one last thing, Mu Shisan became disabled, but you caused it? You are afraid that he will come to seek revenge, so you plan to act first?"

Li Mingtang said: "No, his disability has nothing to do with me, but I have a personal grudge with him, and I just want to kill him."

"Okay, I believe you!" After Dong Liu finished speaking, he kicked Li Mingtang out, causing him to fall under the steps at the entrance of Chunfuli.

The gate guard looked nervously at Li Mingtang and Dong Liu behind him, a little unsure what they were here for, obviously not to visit the brothel, it could only be to smash the scene.

"Let you Mr. Mu come out, just say that he wants me to kill Li Mingtang, I brought it, and leave it to him to kill, and hand over my wife, and I want all of you." Dong Liu was furious and furious.

As soon as the nursing home was about to come up, Dong Liuyi cut the back of the neck with his palm and fell down in response. The other two nursing homes were startled and ran into the door to report.

Dong Liu held Li Mingtang's back collar and strode into Chunfuli. He looked ahead worriedly, wondering whether Xiyu and Ling Shishi had found Mu Shisan according to the old bustard's instructions. Why is there no movement upstairs.

A large group of people poured into Chunfuli, and the whole courtyard suddenly became chaotic. Someone who knew Dong Liu came out to smooth things over, and the kiln sisters came over yelling and kept saying that there was a misunderstanding.

Dong Liudao: "Is your official Mu in Chunfu here?"

"Dong Liuye came so fast." Suddenly a voice called softly, although the voice was soft, it made the whole lively hall quiet.Qian Shanxue was still dressed in white, she was seen coming down the stairs gracefully, she glanced at Li Mingtang, she said with a smile: "How is it alive?"

Dong Liudao: "You want Li Mingtang, I brought him here."

Qian Shanxue said: "Okay, I want you to kill him, kill him now."

Dong Liudao: "He is an official ordered by the imperial court."

Qian Shanxue said: "Why, you dare not?"

Dong Liudao: "Where is my wife?"

Qian Shanxue said: "Kill him, and you will be able to see your wife, who will have all beards and feathers."

Dong Liu sneered, "Come here! The kidnappers in Chunfuli are the first to blackmail, and the second is the attempt to murder the court officials. Immediately seal it up and search for the hostages. No one is allowed to enter."
