The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 260: The Little Nun is kidnapping

Shi Yao was secretly happy when she heard this, and asked hurriedly: "How did you find it? Who found it?"

There must be a reborn person who took action.

I just don't know if it was the work of Shi Mingzhu or one of my sisters-in-law.

Jiang Miao was also quite surprised and cast a questioning look at the servant.

The servant smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I wonder if Third Master knows the Xie family? They are the cousin's brother, the family that Seventh Master of the Shi family was once engaged to."

Shi Yao raised her eyebrows slightly. It was the Xie family that took the lead again!

In order to curry more favor with others, the Xie family always runs faster than the Shi family or the Shi family's relatives.

Her mind raced as she caught a glimpse of Jiang Miao looking at her. She quickly exchanged glances with Jiang Miao, and both of them showed expressions of surprise and confusion.

Jiang Miao was puzzled and asked, "We just met Xie Jibai, the third son of the Xie family. Who are the Xie family members you are talking about?"

"It's not someone else, it's the one who was engaged to the seventh son of the Duke's Mansion. The one who cut her hair to become a nun is also the elder sister of the third son Xie!" The servant felt that it was a coincidence after hearing what Jiang Miao said, "That young nun was also kidnapped with Miss Bo!"

Shi Yao’s eyes widened for a moment. Isn’t Xie Qingdai working too hard?

For a favor from Bo Yinghao, he is willing to risk his own reputation!

Thank you for your courage!

"How did they escape?"

The servant answered eloquently, "Young nun Xie was alone on the street and got lost. She asked a street vendor how to get to Sophora japonica Lane. The Xie residence is in Sophora japonica Lane.

The kidnapper said he would help her lead the way, but the further she walked, the more she felt something was wrong. She noticed that there were fewer and fewer people on the road the kidnapper was leading, so she became cautious and deliberately left a mark.

She escaped halfway through the process, and the kidnapper wanted to knock her out, but the young nun was smart and snatched the knockout drug away, knocking the kidnapper out.

Soon after, the servants of the Xie family followed the mark and came. The young nun tied up the cripple, beat him up, and then threatened him and asked him where the thieves' den was.

While sending someone to report to the police, he went to the thieves' den himself and rescued all the little girls who had been kidnapped by the kidnappers, including Mr. Bo's sister.

When I followed Mr. Bo to the inn, I happened to see the young nun bringing Miss Bo back. Mrs. Bo and Miss Bo, mother and daughter, were hugging each other and crying bitterly.

Mr. Bo, a grown man, was so scared that his eyes turned red. He said a few words to Miss Bo, and when he turned around, the young nun had ordered someone to drive the carriage away and escort the other girls home.

Shi Yao clasped her hands together and chanted Amitabha Buddha: "Fortunately it was a false alarm. The young nun of the Xie family is really a kind person. As the Buddha said, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. The young nun has completed her merits. What about the crutches? Did you break their legs?"

The servant said excitedly, "That's much more serious than breaking a leg! This cripple didn't do anything right. He deceived people and sold them to that filthy place. Some parents and children can't see each other anymore. Some parents spend all their money to redeem their daughters, but even if they redeem them, the girls' lives are ruined.

Therefore, once this kidnapper was exposed, everyone wanted to kill him, regardless of whether he had lost his children or not. Neighbors and passers-by all rushed into the battle, caught him, tied him to a tree, and gave him a good beating. If the government had not arrived quickly, I'm afraid several lives would have been lost!

Now, at the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture, the candidates took the lead, and the common people surrounded Jingzhao Prefecture from front to back, demanding that the prefect severely punish the kidnapper! "

Shi Yao clapped her hands and laughed, "It's really a relief! If there were more kind-hearted people like Miss Xie in the world, there would definitely be no kidnapping in the world! Isn't that right, cousin?"

Jiang Miao said with admiration: "Miss Xie is brave, resourceful, smart and courageous. She not only saved herself, but also saved the girl who was in trouble with her. She will surely be rewarded in the future.

However, my cousin should also learn a lesson from this. Don't trust strangers easily. People's hearts are unpredictable. It's better to be careful. Not everyone can be as lucky as the girl from the Xie family."

Shi Yao thought to herself that Xie Qingdai was not just lucky, but had a golden finger. She was not risking her life, but there is no risk without risk.

No matter what she thought in her heart, Shi Yao said obediently: "Cousin, I remember it."

Jiang Miao rubbed his thumb on his sleeve and almost wanted to touch Shi Yao's head and praise her for being so well-behaved.

"Oh, by the way, Fulu, didn't everyone go to Jingzhao Prefecture? Why are there so many people outside this inn? What are they doing here?"

The servant named Fulu showed sympathy and explained, "Master San, they are the ones whose children were lost. When they heard that Miss Bo had been kidnapped, they gathered here to inquire about the whereabouts of their children. However, there were less than ten people who were kidnapped with Miss Bo."

There were about twenty or thirty people gathered outside the inn. Some were wailing, some were questioning and criticizing, some were kowtowing and begging, acting out all kinds of life situations.

Shi Yao stood on tiptoe to take a look and sighed, "Those who kidnap people really deserve to be put to death!"

Fulu nodded and was about to describe in detail the miserable situation of the abducted people. He opened his mouth, but suddenly met the warning eyes of his third master. He quickly closed his mouth, bowed respectfully, and left.

Jiang Miao tapped his palm lightly with his fan and said, "Now that we have finished our business here, where are you going, cousin? Are you going back to the teahouse?"

Shi Yao looked at the sun and realized it was still too early for lunch, so she said bewilderedly, "I have never been to the capital, cousin, please accompany me to visit the capital.

Those scholars gathered together to compete in poetry and policy. Although they were polite and eloquent, I felt like I was listening to a foreign language. In my eyes, they were no different from women swearing at each other on the street, and their swearing was even less interesting than theirs.

She looked at Jiang Miao with confidence.

I heard that the daughters-in-law that Mrs. Jiang married were all from scholarly families and were well-educated and well-mannered. Shi Yao dressed in casual clothes and pretended to be illiterate.

Jiang Miao smiled lightly upon hearing this, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "My cousin and I think alike, some of these candidates are truly talented, while others are just filling in the numbers.

In my opinion, a truly talented person would not bother to use such occasions to make a name for himself. If he is truly talented, he will appear on the list of candidates for the imperial examination or the palace examination. "

Shi Yao secretly gave a thumbs up.

As expected, he was the third place winner in the imperial examination three years later. The four words "arrogant and proud of one's talent" were probably created for people like Jiang Miao.

Shi Yao didn't see Shi Mingzhu in the crowd, so she rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Cousin is right. Anyway, we don't have a specific destination, so why don't we go to Jingzhao Prefecture to see what's going on and see how the prefect judges those kidnappers."

Jiang Miao naturally has no problem responding to everything.

The two of them then went to Jingzhao Prefecture.

Jingzhao Prefecture was very lively, with crowds of people inside and outside.

Some people on the periphery angrily cursed the kidnapper, but more people focused on the Fourth Prince Zhou Shao and his concubine Shi Mingzhu.

The servant Fulu asked around and replied in surprise, "Third Master, cousin, the Fourth Prince is here in person, listening to the prefect's interrogation of the kidnapper!"

Shi Yao hurriedly asked: "What about my elder sister?"

Jiang Miao glanced at her.

Fulu replied, "The eldest cousin was also in the hall, wearing a veil and sitting next to the Fourth Prince. The Third Master and the cousin were lucky enough to arrive when the Jingzhao prefect came down with a few strokes of the cane. The kidnapper has confessed his guilt and the case is about to be closed."

Shi Yao was speechless.

She and Jiang Miao rushed around for the whole morning, and they actually skipped the process every time and only had time to hear the result.
