269,—the thirtieth cannon fodder—(1/3)
At Lan's house, Lan Tao received a purse, which was exactly the one Taomi was wearing. Xiaocui recognized it. The money originally contained in it was gone and replaced with a letter, a blackmail letter.
"What should I do, Master? Cai Die has really been arrested. My poor daughter, if anything happens to you, you will die." After receiving the blackmail letter, Mrs. Lan instantly cried uncontrollably.
, she is over fifty and has only one daughter, and her daughter is her life.
"Butler, housekeeper, go and prepare a banknote for me immediately." Lan Tao shouted loudly, and the housekeeper followed the order.
Lan Tao walked around the room, feeling very irritable. Mrs. Lan kept crying, which made Lan Tao even more irritable. "Madam, can you stop crying?"
"My daughter was kidnapped by an adulterer. I can't cry anymore? Uuuuuu..."
Lan Tao sighed, and the Tenth Prince stood up and said, "Uncle Lan, I think you should not give the banknotes to the kidnappers."
"Why?"
"Because Cai Die will be safe and sound." The Tenth Prince said with great certainty, which reminded Lan Tao of what Fang Jun said before, "Why do you know that Cai Die will be safe and sound? Did you take him away?
My daughter?"
The Tenth Prince showed no sign of anger, "It's not me, but I know Cai Die will be fine."
It seems that Lan Tao and his wife really don't know that Taomi knows martial arts. Just because she jumped in from the window without anyone noticing that day, and the speed with which she left, as long as she didn't meet a top master,
There will definitely be no problem. As for why you haven't come back yet, I suddenly thought it might be because you want to see what the thief's tricks are.
Lan Tao didn't believe what the Tenth Prince said anymore. He kept saying that his daughter would come back safely, but he didn't say why. In this case, only the kidnapper would be so sure.
Zhao Shi, he has never heard his daughter talk about him before. Who knows who he is? If he is a bad person, then wouldn't he lead a thief into the house?
Thinking about it, Lan Tao cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhao, you and my daughter are acquainted. When you came to visit, I should have invited you to have a simple meal. But now that my daughter has disappeared, I am afraid that I don't have the time and energy to greet Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao still invites you."
Go back."
"Okay, then I'll leave first. I'll come back for a meal from Uncle Lan after Cai Die comes back." How could such a transparent person as the Tenth Prince not know that Lan Tao was issuing an eviction order? He didn't care either.
He walked directly out of Lan's house.
The wind blew all night last night and he was a little bit cold. He originally wanted to take good care of his health, but he had already called all the doctors in the city. Who knew that Taomi was suddenly kidnapped by a traitor, so of course he had to
I went to see him, but his illness was not cured yet, so he was kicked out like this. I was really a little angry.
But when you think about it, it's understandable. After all, he lost his daughter. He doesn't have a daughter, and he doesn't know what it feels like to lose his daughter. But thinking about it, it's problematic to be in the mood to entertain guests.
After returning to Yingfeng Restaurant, he drank the medicine and lay leisurely on the bed. A man in black stood not far from the bed, "The servant sent by Mr. Lan has been near Yingfeng Restaurant and has not gone far.
, after thinking about it, I still want to see if you, the prince, are suspicious."
"Then let them go and watch. I haven't caught Lan Caidie, so what are you afraid of?" The Tenth Prince knocked on Erlang's leg, "Let me tell you, Lan Caidie will definitely come back safely this time. Yesterday
Didn't you see her martial arts at night? It's so powerful, she must have been taught by a famous master. I wonder if she can introduce that master to me?"
The man in black is embarrassed. The prince's focus is strange. This is not the first time he has seen it. "But according to the investigation of my subordinates, Miss Lan left Taoyuan County with her parents when she was a child, and has been traveling around doing business these years.
, the length of stay in each place is not long. She just returned to Taoyuan County not long ago. Even if she has a mysterious master, it is impossible not to be noticed by others. What's more, Mr. Lan and his wife don't know Miss Lan.
If he has martial arts, does that mean that the mysterious master is not walking around with the Lan family?"
"Yes, yes, your analysis makes sense." The Tenth Prince suddenly sat up, "I have decided to find that mysterious master, and I will also worship him as my master."
Heiyi En was embarrassed again. What he meant was that there was probably no such so-called mysterious master. Why did the prince so seriously say that he wanted to become a master?
In the view of the Tenth Prince, a mysterious master would only be called a mysterious master if he was not known to everyone. If a person could notice it, then he would not be called a mysterious master.
Just like him now, he rented out the entire Yingfeng Restaurant and even said his name was Zhao Shi without anyone noticing. He was hiding in the city, nothing better than that.
The kidnappers sent a letter to the Lan family, put it in Taomi's purse, and shot it directly on the door frame of the Lan family with a dart. In addition to asking for money, the letter also asked Xiaoyan, the maid of the Lan family, to send the money.
.
On the day of delivering the money, there were many policemen around Xiaoyan. However, Nie Renlong discovered that Xiaoyan was taking detours and had circled the woods several times. However, the kidnappers did not appear, and Xiaoyan did not appear.
Stop and go.
"Captain Nie, is there anything wrong with this? None of us read the blackmail letter. Is Lan Tao playing some trick on us?" one of the agents said.
Nie Renlong thought about it for a moment. Lan Tao was so eager to save his daughter. Could it be that he was using Xiaoyan as a deception to confuse them, but it was actually someone else who sent the money?
"It's not impossible." Nie Renlong said to Nie Feng, "Feng'er, rush back to Lan's house as quickly as possible to see if there are any problems, and you must ask Lan Tao for the truth.
"
"I know, Dad."
Xiaoyan's baggage contained real banknotes, and she was indeed sent by Lan Tao to pay the ransom. She was also very scared in her heart, what if the kidnapper was an inhumane person, but she was in Lan Tao
Those who work at home must follow Lan Tao's instructions.
Xiaoyan was standing under the tree when suddenly a dart shot over and hit the tree. Xiaoyan was startled. At the same time, Nie Renlong also noticed it and stopped the policeman who was about to rush forward. "Look again."
"
I saw Xiaoyan pulling the dart off the tree. There was a note on the dart. After reading it, Xiaoyan put the bundle under the tree, covered it with fallen leaves, and then turned around and walked back.
Just when Nie Renlong wanted someone to follow Xiaoyan, there were riots all around, blocking their view. For a while, it was difficult for them to see clearly what was going on in front of them. They could only hear the sound of weapons and fists and feet fighting. It was obvious that someone was fighting, and
They couldn't see clearly and didn't dare to step forward rashly.
After a while, the smoke dissipated, and Xiaoyan was seen lying on the ground. No one else could be seen. Nie Renlong and others hurried over. There were traces of fighting on the ground and trees. Fortunately, Xiaoyan was only knocked unconscious.
There is no life-threatening danger.
"Captain Nie, the baggage is missing. It must have been taken away by thieves," one of the agents said.
Nie Renlong nodded, "Take Xiaoyan back. I don't know if Feng'er has any clues."
In a cave not far from the hillside, Taomi stood in the cave, looking at the man in black who was tied on the ground, "I didn't expect that within twelve hours, we would reverse the order."
"If you want to kill or behead me, it's up to you. There's no need to insult me like this." The man's voice was hoarse, and he obviously didn't like the current situation, but so what if he didn't like it, the current situation was like this.
Taomi knelt down in front of the man in black and pulled off his scarf, "Looking at his unfamiliar face, I thought it was an acquaintance who committed the crime."
The man's facial features are very ordinary, the kind that you wouldn't even look at if you were thrown into a crowd.
Taomi stood up and said, "You crushed my golden hairpin to pieces. I thought your martial arts were so good, but the result is nothing more than that. Not only are you not good at martial arts, but you are also terribly stupid."
"
"I told you, my martial arts skills are not as good as yours. Why don't you just kill me?"
"Why should I kill you? Even if I don't kill you, you will slowly die of poisoning."
The man in black was startled and suddenly felt uncomfortable all over his body, "What did you do to me?"
"It's not what I did to you, it's what you did to me." Taomi looked over, her eyes filled with amusement, "I painted that golden hairpin on it, and you not only touched it, but also pinched it.
The poison is in contact with your skin. Don't you feel that you have been very thirsty these past few days? This is the symptom of an ecstasy attack."
Yes, he feels very thirsty and sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night because of thirst.
"This kind of sex is colorless and odorless. After contact, it will enter your body along your skin and slowly absorb all the water in your body. Gradually, you will become a mummy. You
Isn’t it interesting to say this?”
To the man in black, Taomi's smile was like a ghost, a demon crawling out of hell. As soon as Taomi finished speaking, the man in black felt his skin begin to wrinkle, and gradually the man in black's face began to fall.
A layer of skin, Taomi just looked at it quietly.
Looking at the true face beneath that face, "I'll just say it was an acquaintance who committed the crime. Boss Jiang really kept it secret."
The face under the skin was already wrinkled, as if it were an old man in his seventies or eighties. Taomi picked up the face without any wrinkles on the ground and said, "It is rumored that the Variety Flying Fox is coming this way. I didn't expect it."
Even Boss Jiang, you don’t know how the people in the Yamen would feel if they knew that the tavern they frequented was owned by Baibian Feihu?”
There were sounds of footsteps stepping on fallen leaves outside, and they were walking very carefully, as if they were afraid of others seeing them. Taomi blocked Jiang Zhiyang's mouth and walked to the entrance of the cave.
The next moment, a man came in, and Tao Mi slashed at him with a knife from behind. The man couldn't help but didn't hide away, and he didn't notice at all. He obviously didn't have any martial arts skills on him.
Taomi's sword was not very strong, so the man did not faint, but fell to the ground. He quickly got up and turned to look at his attacker.
Tao Mi's pupils shrank violently when she saw that the man was wearing a hijab. They obviously didn't want her to see his true face. The more things are hidden, the more suspicious they become.
Taomi took a step forward and didn't rush to take off his scarf. Instead, she quickly tied him up with a rope and threw him together with Jiang Zhiyang.
"It seems that the crime is not just committed by acquaintances, but by a team. Then this person seems to be familiar to me." As she said this, Taomi took a step forward and pulled off the face towel. She was really surprised when she saw the man's face.
Suddenly, "Hey, steward, I didn't expect you to be a part of it."
"Miss, you are wrong. I came here only after receiving the news. The master asked me to come. If you don't believe it, you can see that there is a second blackmail letter on my waist." Wang Fu cried immediately, as if he was really being raped.
Innocent.
Taomi touched his waist and indeed found a letter. She saw that it was indeed the housekeeper's request to come here. The handwriting was exactly the same as the previous letter.
"Jiang Zhiyang, I was caught by you, watched you get poisoned, and you took my purse to deliver a letter to my parents. I saw all this, but this letter doesn't seem to be written by you."
"Huh, Miss Lan has a keen eye. Why bother asking me if you understand everything clearly? You also know this person's nature very well." Jiang Zhiyang said with a cold snort.
"Miss, don't listen to this person's nonsense. This letter was indeed written by this person, and he delivered it to the master with a dart. Everyone in the Lan family can testify, miss." Wang Fu continued to cry.
, "Miss, you must believe me. I have worked in the Lan Mansion for decades and watched you grow up. Could it be that I would do such a despicable thing, miss?"
Taomi threw the letter aside casually, "Do you think I will believe what you say, Wang Fu? From the moment you came in, there was no doubt or surprise when you saw Jiang Zhiyang's face. Didn't you know that the kidnapper was Jiang Zhiyang a long time ago?
? And you said that this letter was thrown by Jiang Zhiyang to Lan's house with a dart, but why is there no hole in it? I don't have a second purse with me. Could it be that Jiang Zhiyang bought a purse himself? He has one
