553 Dying (6)
He took a deep breath and instructed Mo Qing in a calm voice, “Report to the governnt. Lock down the city and look for them. Imdiately mobilize the Shen army. Take my token and pass down the order. Search the entire city. Anyone who finds the two of them, the Shen family will reward them ten thousand taels of gold!”
Ten thousand taels of gold! The people around gasped.
Feng Anning was also stunned when she heard that, but when she ca back to her senses, she blad herself even more. Shen Qiu was willing to pay 10,000 taels of gold without batting an eyelid. Didn’t that an that Shen Miao was like a pearl in his eyes? But now, Shen Miao’s life and death were unknown.
Mo Qing also turned around and left with a serious expression to carry out the order. Feng Anning said, “Although reporting to the governnt can make it easier to lock down the city, this way, rumors will definitely spread in the capital and harm Shen Miao and Luo Tan’s reputation.”
Feng Anning was a woman, so she naturally understood the importance of reputation to won. If news of Shen Miao and Luo Tan being kidnapped spread, it would inevitably be maliciously speculated by people.
Shen Qiu said, “Reputation is worthless compared to their lives. Even if their reputation is really damaged, they still have the Shen family to rely on for the rest of their lives.”
He turned around and walked out. Feng Anning said, “I’m sorry. I’m the one who caused all of this. I’ll definitely go and apologize to the Shen family another day.”
“This has nothing to do with you.” Shen Qiu’s voice was emotionless. “Those people ca prepared. Even if they didn’t make a move today, they would sooner or later have done the sa thing.”
Feng Anning felt a little comforted. Before she could speak, she heard Shen Qiu’s indifferent voice.
“But I’m sorry, I’ll inevitably take my anger out on you when I see you, so it’s better if Miss Feng doesn’t visit the Shen family for the ti being.”
He strode away without looking back, leaving Feng Anning standing alone in the hall.
Outside, Ah Zhi asked Shen Qiu, “Young Master, don’t you need to ask General Shen before mobilizing the Shen army?”
“Ask my ass!” Shen Qiu scolded. “Do you think we have ti to ask and think about what to do now? Those people know the consequence of kidnapping Jiaojiao and Cousin Tan, and they are not afraid. Jiaojiao is in extre danger. They actually have designs on my family. When I catch them, I’ll f*cking kill them!” The young general was furious at this mont. He got on his horse and said, “Go to the capital magistrate. Even if we have to turn the capital upside down, we have to find them!”
The news of Miss Shen and Miss Tan being kidnapped by so people spread throughout the capital in no ti. This was an incident that could not be hidden. Firstly, when Shen Miao was kidnapped, there were people around who were watching. Secondly, the capital magistrate, the city guards, the governnt, the Shen army, and the Feng family’s guards were all mobilized to search. With such a big commotion going on, it was hard for anyone not to know.
Everyone knew that Shen Xin doted on his daughter, but people were still shocked to see that Shen Xin was actually willing to go such an extent for his daughter. After Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin were inford, they imdiately led their personal guards to search every house in person.
They spent the entire night searching without even stopping to take a sip of water.
Xie Jingxing returned from outside. As soon as he arrived at his mansion, he saw Ji Yushu and Gao Yang waiting for him. The two of them would usually see him at the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop because Gao Yang’s identity was sensitive. Generally speaking, they would not take the risk to co to Prince Rui’s mansion.
Xie Jingxing looked at the two of them in surprise and handed the thing in his hand to Tie Yi. When the white tiger in the courtyard saw him enter, it pounced on Xie Jingxing’s boots and bit his pants affectionately.
Xie Jingxing bent down to pick up the white tiger and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Gao Yang glanced at Ji Yushu. Ji Yushu stared at the white tiger for a while and made up his mind. “I have sothing to tell you.”
“What’s it?” Xie Jingxing went out of the city alone today, so he really did not know what happened in the capital.
“The security in the capital hasn’t been very good recently. It’s a little chaotic.” Ji Yushu scratched his ears and cheeks and said incoherently, “It’s just that a young lady went out to shop today. Outside the restaurant, her carriage was hijacked and she was kidnapped. She still hasn’t been found yet.”
Xie Jingxing stared at Ji Yushu.
Ji Yushu was a little frightened by his gaze and said with a trembling voice, “Gao Yang and I just want to remind you that your beauty is not inferior to those ladies. You have to be careful to not get kidnapped.”
Xie Jingxing said calmly, “Ji Yushu.”
“I an! You know that person too. She’s Fifth Miss Shen!” Ji Yushu quickly said. He took a step back and hid behind Gao Yang.
There was a mont of silence in the room.
“Where is he?” Ji Yushu looked at the empty courtyard in a daze. Only the white tiger was thrown to the ground and was whimpering in pain.
“Are you stupid?” Gao Yang looked at him coldly.
“As long as I’m smarter than you,” Ji Yushu replied.
At the sa ti, Shen Qiu, who was searching for Shen Miao everywhere in the city, received news that Luo Tan was found.
Mo Qing said, “Miss Luo is dying.”
