Chapter 1874 Let’s capture him without any effort!
Yan Ruyu raised her eyes and tapped her fingertips on the table: "Didn't he go to Zhao's Grocery Store?"
Linlang lowered her head and said, "Yes, after those three entered the alley, they never came out again. The people sent by Yinding said that they didn't dare to get too close. They only watched the entrance of the alley from a distance and didn't see them leave."
Yan Ruyu tapped the jade fan on her palm and said in a slightly cold voice: "Zhao Laosan from Zhao's Grocery Store looks like an ordinary person. I wonder how many people like him there are in Youcheng."
Huo Changhe comforted him, "No matter how many there are, we will catch them sooner or later. Now we have to find them. They must be coming for Wei Luting."
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Send a message to Yinding and ask him to adapt to the situation. Anyway, our people are all around the yard. As long as Wei Luting can't leave and Lou Tingyu is safe, it's fine."
"Yes." Linlang left briskly.
The two of them took advantage of the night and quietly came to the backyard wall. Wei Luting jumped onto the top of the wall first, and after observing for a moment, he gestured to Lou Tingyu. Lou Tingyu followed closely behind, and the two landed lightly and silently, like two night cats.
They had just walked a few steps into the wasteland when they suddenly heard a light sound behind them. Wei Luting turned around suddenly and saw a black shadow flash by and disappear into the shadows of the trees.
"Who?" Wei Luting shouted in a low voice, his hand already on the sword at his waist.
At this time, Zhao Laosan stopped, his eyes flashing in the darkness, and the three thin men had taken off their hats.
One of them whispered, "What's wrong?"
The stall owner pointed behind him and made a gesture. The three men immediately understood and leaped lightly onto the walls on both sides.
Not long after, a figure appeared in the darkness and walked towards them stealthily.
As he walked, he muttered, "Where is the person? How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and then his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he found himself tied to an old locust tree, and standing in front of him were the three farmers.
"Tell me, who sent you to follow us?" The leading farmer had a fierce look in his eyes and a shining dagger in his hand.
Yinding's eyes blinked quickly, his face was terrified, but his mouth was very hard: "I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't follow you. How come the road belongs to you? Why can you walk on it but I can't?"
Before they could say anything, Yinding spoke quickly: "The road is wide and straight, walk on each side. If you don't like me, walk on the left side."
"Humph, you don't like me, and I don't like you either!"
"The robbers all know to say something first, 'This road is mine, this tree is mine.' They also know to ask for money for passage. What do you mean by that? You just knocked the man unconscious without saying anything."
"How can you guys do things this way? Can you show some sense?"
Three farmers: “…”
Zhao Laosan felt a buzzing in his ears and a pain in his head.
This little fat boy is so talkative and noisy!
"Shut up!" Another farmer stepped forward and raised his hand to hit him.
"Wait." The leading farmer stopped him and looked at the fat boy carefully. "Are you from the palace?"
Yinding looked puzzled: "Palace? Palace of Zhennan? Do you think I am from the palace?"
He showed a delighted smile on his face: "Do you think I look like someone from the palace? Do you think I have an unusual temperament? Do I look like the first guard of the palace?"
farmer:"……"
Lou Tingyu, who was standing not far away, was secretly amazed in his heart, there are so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers around the prince and princess, each of them is extraordinary, this play was performed as if it were real.
He was stunned when he saw the silver ingots being brought in just now.
Just as he was thinking of a countermeasure, he saw Yinding "wake up" and secretly gesture to him, and he felt relieved.
He pulled Wei Luting, and neither of them got too close.
Zhao Laosan said, "Who would follow someone into such a remote alley in the middle of the night for no reason? It seems that you won't tell the truth unless you use some tricks."
As he said this, he raised the dagger and was about to stab the silver ingot.
Just then, there was a hurried knock on the door.
"Open the door!"
The three farmers looked at each other, Zhao Laosan put away his dagger, motioned for them to keep an eye on the silver ingot, and opened the door himself.
When the door was opened, several yamen runners were seen standing outside with lanterns in their hands.
"Hey, officers, what's up?"
The yamen runner looked at him and said, "It's you, Zhao Laosan. Is this house yours?"
"Exactly. I just bought it not long ago. I came here to clean it up. I don't have time during the day, so I have time at night when it's cooler."
The bailiff nodded: "Then let's go in and search, just as a matter of routine."
Zhao Laosan's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged: "Okay, but I'm just cleaning up, it's a mess, don't you officers know me? I'm an honest man, how about this."
He took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket and said, "How about we just consider it a search?"
A few people didn't answer, and looked at him suspiciously: "Zhao Laosan, you don't have anything here..."
Zhao Laosan smiled helplessly: "You have seen it, it is true. I... raised a child, and I was afraid that my wife would know, so I..."
Several yamen runners relaxed their expressions and smiled at each other: "So that's what's going on. Fine then, we won't search anymore."
Zhao Laosan quickly handed over the silver, and several yamen runners took it and left with a smile.
As soon as they got outside the alley, they stopped laughing.
"My Lord, Princess, I have checked carefully. Zhao Lao San is here."
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Okay, notify them to surround the courtyard."
Zhao Laosan closed the door, turned back to the courtyard, gritted his teeth and said, "We have to leave here, retreat first. Take this kid with you first, and ask him on the way."
Several people took the silver ingot down from the tree and tied his hands.
Lou Tingyu said: "I'll come and look after him."
Wei Luting held Lou Tingyu's arm and said, "I'll do it."
Lou Tingyu was stunned and pursed his lips without saying anything.
Zhao Laosan was the leader and walked in front, three farmers walked in the middle, Wei Luting walked behind with the silver ingots, and Lou Tingyu walked at the end.
After leaving the courtyard, Lou Tingyu asked Wei Luting softly.
"where are we going?"
Lou Tingyu didn't want to leave, but Yan Ruyu had ordered that no matter what Wei Luting said, they had to stay in the courtyard.
But this time was different. They caught the silver ingot. This accident forced him to change his plan and follow them.
Wei Luting whispered: "Tingyu, you..."
Before he finished speaking, a light came on in front.
Zhao Laosan stopped and thought to himself that something was wrong.
When he wanted to retreat, the road behind was blocked.
They were in the alley, being attacked from both sides.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe appeared at the entrance of the alley.
This is also the reason why we chose this house in the first place.
At that time, Yan Ruyu took a fancy to the terrain here.
"Zhao Laosan, just surrender."
Zhao Laosan's heart sank. He held the hilt of the knife and hesitated for a long time, but still wanted to give it a try.
"My Lord, Princess, I have a hostage here. Can I exchange his life for his?"
