Chasing brother for thousands of miles

Chapter 24

-----

Cui Youde carefully guarded the box in his arms, and hurried on his way with his head down.

This time he was not as panicked as last time, and he didn't even look up to see who passed him by, and only focused on rushing out of the city.

Probably because he was numb with fear, or because he had a heavy responsibility, thinking of the expectant eyes of the master, he simply regarded death as home.

Qixian and Wen Nianyuan mixed in the crowd and followed behind him calmly. They both changed their clothes a little, and they were no different from ordinary people all over the street.

Cui Youde's footsteps were a little slow due to his age, and it took a lot of effort to get out of the city.

He walked for a while in the wilderness, far away from the location designated by the kidnappers, and when there were even some pedestrians coming and going on the nearby road, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

The one who stopped him was none other than Zhao Ping, the gangster whom he gave a good lesson at the gate of Chen Ji Gambling Square that day, but this time, Zhao Ping did not come alone.

Behind him, there are five or six gangsters with rascal faces and fierce eyes like him, looking at Cui Youde with malicious eyes, sneering and waving the wooden sticks in their hands.

They can't afford swords and swords, not to mention they are easy to kill. They are just the bottom of the rascals. They can just blackmail and bully the weak, but no one will touch the murder and arson when they are full.

Cui Youde got angry when he saw Zhao Ping, but he also knew that the situation was not good. He looked at the group of rascals with some trepidation, and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Ping! What are you doing!"

The other party smiled "hehe", and the tone was drawn out, oily and ruthless, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Yo, what are you doing? Uncle Cui, you are a noble person. It's really rare for us little people to see each other. What do you think we are going to do?"

As he said that, he sized Cui Youde up and down wretchedly, and then joked, "It's not a big girl, what do you expect the younger ones to do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people behind him all burst into laughter, and while laughing, they looked at Cui Youde meaningfully.

"It's simply presumptuous!" Cui Youde's old face was flushed with embarrassment. This group of vulgar men who have never read sage books and don't know the big characters are simply vulgar to the extreme. They come here without any shame!

He withdrew and was about to walk around the people, intending not to bother with them - his affairs here were obviously more important than talking nonsense with the little bastards.

But obviously, Zhao Ping and his group didn't want to let him go.

Seeing that Cui Youde wanted to leave, Zhao Ping stood up and stopped him. If Cui moved to the left, he would go left, and if Cui moved to the right, he would go right. Obviously, he was playing tricks on the mouse.

Steward Cui was furious, and pointed at Zhao Ping's nose with a free hand, "Boy, don't be shameless, be careful that the Chen family will make you unable to get along in Jinguan City."

Zhao Ping suddenly changed his face, he is a gangster, so what?He has no money, so what?

Anyway, his own life is in his own hands, no matter how beautiful Cui Youde is, isn't he a servant whose body is held in the hands of his master?

A servant dares to say that he will not be able to get along in this city, heh, does he consider himself the master of the Chen family? Who doesn't know that the Chen family's surname is Chen, and that's not Cui!

Last time at the entrance of Chen Ji Gambling House, Cui Youde taught him a shameful lesson. He had long harbored resentment and wanted to find trouble with him, but he couldn't find it. Today, he managed to stop him. This old man is still so ignorant.

"Brothers, come on, teach this old guy a lesson, and let him know that men are not easy to mess with."

Those bastards were gearing up for a long time. When they heard that they were still waiting, they rushed forward without saying a word.

Wen Nianyuan, who was hiding in the dark, glanced sideways at Qi Xian, and asked him silently if he wanted to step forward to help Butler Cui.Although those gangsters didn't kill him, it was really outrageous for a group of people to beat up an elderly man.

However, Qi Xian just squinted his eyes slightly, without any expression change on his face, only occasionally frowning and lowering his eyelashes, as if thinking about something, he didn't take action to stop the group of people from the beginning to the end.

The situation on the side of the little gangsters is really scary, and the sporadic passers-by all showed panic. Although they couldn't bear it, they didn't dare to come forward to say a word of justice. There are so many people, they are honest people, and they simply beat but.

Cui Youde didn't expect that Zhao Ping would dare to make a move, his face immediately turned pale, and he ran away with difficulty while accusing him of "you are so brave" and caring about protecting the things in his arms. Little stick punches.

After a while, he stopped cursing and could only yell intermittently.

Fortunately, although the gangsters are fierce, they strike with a sense of proportion, and they don't intend to beat people to death.

Zhao Ping was watching happily, and after a while, he suddenly found that Cui Youde had been bending over to protect something in his arms, his eyes rolled around, and if there was something valuable, he would reach out to snatch it.

That thing is of course valuable, it is half of the Chen family's wealth!

Cui Youde was not willing to let go, he almost put his life on the line, I don't know where the strength came from, he was obviously in pain from the beating, he just didn't want to let go, he tugged back and forth like a saw.

After such a stalemate for a while, Zhao Ping soon became impatient. This stinky old man is so precious, he must be a good thing. Damn, the duck he got won't let him fly?

He winked at his brothers, and they understood, while Cui Youde was not paying attention, a stick hit him on the head, only heard a muffled sound, Cui Youde rolled his eyes, and fell down without a cry.

Zhao Ping grinned, and with a sneer, he pulled the box out of Steward Cui's arms abruptly, opened it curiously, and saw that the first bank note was 1 taels!

He had never seen so much money in his life, his eyes almost went straight, and there was not only such a bank note in the box, there was a thick stack underneath.

The little gangster couldn't help but swallowed, closed the box with a "snap", and pretended to raise his voice: "You idiot, the 100 taels of silver are hidden so tightly, brothers go back and divide it, everyone has a share. "

Hearing that there were silver points, those little gangsters were very happy. Although some people were anxious about what was in the box, they had other tricks in their hearts, and they didn't object in public.

A man kicked Cui Youde who was still in a coma, and asked impatiently: "What should this old guy do, he shouldn't be dead, right?"

"Where is it so easy to die, I didn't even open the ladle!" The other one said something, stretched out his hand to sniff, "he's alive, leave him alone, hurry up, we have to change places, be careful that the Chen family is really furious."

Zhao Ping snorted when he heard the words, "How can it be, they don't have time to deal with a poor old man at this moment, the son hasn't been found yet, has he?"

Everyone laughed and left.

Zhao Ping always felt a little weird along the way, as if there were eyes watching behind him, but he turned his head many times but there was no one. In the end, it was attributed to the fact that he was too excited when he saw Qian, so he put it behind him.

They walked away, and only those passers-by who were hiding pale with fright came out tremblingly, thinking that these gangsters are getting more and more arrogant now, and they don't even shy away from doing such lawless things!

Someone ran up to check on Cui Youde's condition in three steps at a time, but he didn't die, and he didn't dare to throw him here, so he went to find someone to inform the Chen family.

Chen Hongwei and his wife were eagerly waiting for the news, when someone said that Cui Youde was knocked out outside the city and the box was robbed, Madam Chen didn't come up and almost went directly to the King of Hades.

When Cui Youde was carried back, he managed to drink a few bowls of decoction, and after a while, he finally woke up half dead.

Seeing his master Chen Hongwei with red eyes, he was still a little bit slow, didn't he go out of the city just now?

When he recalled what he had encountered, his complexion changed drastically, and he reached out to find the box. It was empty, and there was nothing left!

With a dark face, he said fiercely to Chen Hongwei: "Master! They are all petty and incompetent... But master, the little one finally figured it out, the kidnapper must be that kid Zhao Ping!"

Chen Hongwei already knew something from the person who reported him, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Zhao Ping just wanted to take revenge, so he stole the things ignorantly. If he was a kidnapper, he wouldn't make such a publicity. You are virtuous... you ..."

He didn't know what to say.

If you say this, blame the old housekeeper. He worked hard for you, and there is nothing he can do if someone else robs him. Don't blame him, half of the Chen family's property was lost in his hands, and the hope of saving his son is also in his hands. Lost on the Internet, no matter how I think about it, I feel angry.

Cui Youde came to his senses, and he looked at Chen Hongwei with burning eyes.

"Master, it must be Zhao Ping! Think about it, this bastard usually extorts money, and his courage is getting bigger and bigger. When I taught him a lesson at the gate of the gambling house last time, he swore that he would have a lot of money soon. Who doesn't know the situation, how could there be a lot of money right away? Isn't it the time when the kidnappers blackmailed the master?"

The words were too excited, Cui Youde almost suffocated himself, quickly took a breath and continued: "This time the master sent me out, no matter how low-key the family is, no one knows why he blocked me outside the city. It doesn't make sense!"

People also felt a little moved when they heard it, so it seems to be the case, "But——"

"Master, you think, he robbed it blatantly. Didn't you just say that he must not have done the kidnapping of the eldest son! If you think so, others must think that way, thinking that he is just taking revenge and stealing money. Isn't that the best way to escape?"

Frowning, Chen Hongwei still felt suspicious, "You said he was begging for money, since he snatched the box, why didn't Yingxiang come back?"

"My lord, the money in the box is only half of the Chen family's money!"

Chen Hongwei suddenly realized, yes, that's right!Immediately, his expression turned ugly, "Look for it! Look for it right away! Find that bastard and the eldest son, even if you turn Jinguan City upside down, you have to find him!"

So the Chen family turned Jinguan City upside down and looked for people everywhere. In name, they only said that Zhao Ping had injured Steward Cui and wanted to settle accounts with him.

He even offered a reward, handing over Zhao Ping's reward of one hundred taels of gold.

The Chen family does not believe that money can make ghosts turn the clock, and Zhao Ping can escape.

However, they happened to be unlucky in the past, and they encountered strange things.

Zhao Ping also disappeared.

After Chen Yingxiang, Zhao Ping also seemed to have disappeared from this world, and no one in Jinguan City saw him again.
