Seeing that the kidnapper fell to the ground and lost his weapon, many of the people who were cowering just now rushed up to him, punched and kicked him for a while until he rolled on the ground and screamed. This was when everyone was allowed to come out. A bad breath.
At this time, Sun Tu was busy checking the child's condition, but found that he was still unconscious with his eyes closed, and he didn't know what was wrong with him. At that moment, he took the child and stepped forward. After stopping everyone, he stepped on the kid's waist and asked, "Tell me, what did you do to this child? How can he wake up?"
The kidnapper originally wanted to use this as a blackmail, but after seeing Sun Tu's sharp eyes, he felt a chill in his heart and could only honestly confess: "I just used drugs to make him comatose. Just pour cold water on him and the drug will be gone." Decrease yourself.”
After hearing what he said, Sun Tu felt relieved and once again stopped the people who wanted to take action against him: "Everyone, please calm down. Although this person is guilty, it is better to hand it over to the government for punishment. The top priority now is to save the child. , then send him to the Yamen for punishment!"
It was out of a moment of righteous indignation that everyone attacked the kidnapper. Since Sun Tu said so, everyone no longer insisted. Some people went to the nearby shop to get a bowl of cold water and splashed some on the child's face. Some people also Help tie up the kidnapper so that it will be difficult for him to escape.
After a lot of work, the child who was originally drowsy finally woke up slowly. After discovering that none of his family members were around, but surrounded by a large group of strangers he had never seen before, he immediately started crying: "Nanny, Ah Fu, where are you... Wow..."
Sun Tu quickly offered words of comfort: "Don't cry, kid. Tell me where your home is and we will take you back..."
But he was only a three- or four-year-old child, and he couldn't speak clearly. Plus, he was frightened, and it was even more impossible for him to understand his origins. Although Sun Tu and Yan Yuese stopped crying with the consolation, except for saying that his name was Tong Yuan, everything else was a little vague.
Seeing this, Sun Tu could only look at the kidnapper again: "Where did you kidnap this child? Tell me the truth!"
"I... I also took him out during the chaos at Sangjia Wazi's place. I really don't know where he came from when he was young..." This man had already resigned himself to his fate at this time, but what he explained was of no help at all.
Seeing this, Sun Tu could only say: "In that case, we can only send the child to Kaifeng Mansion with him and hand it over to the government. Is there any fellow villager who is willing to accompany me to be a witness?" This kind of thing? Of course it would be better if there are several witnesses.
Fortunately, there were quite a few of these pedestrians who dared to take on the task, and a few immediately stood up and said, "We will go with you. If you save the child and hold the kidnapper, the government will reward you well."
Just when Sun Tu and others were about to escort the kidnapper to the Kaifeng government office, a group of people dressed as slaves in green clothes and small hats ran from the front in a hurry. They ran all the way and looked around for those who had children. As long as anyone dared to Those who obstruct will be knocked to the ground immediately.
Before anyone could react, these powerful slaves had already rushed to the front. One of them with sharp eyes fixed his eyes on the child and shouted: "Young Master!" before they arrived. , he pointed at Sun Tu and the others and shouted: "Get these people!"
"What are you doing!" Seeing several powerful slaves charging at him viciously, Sun Tu quickly dodged and scolded angrily.
"Bold thief, you actually dare to kidnap the young master of my Tong family. I think you have taken advantage of the courage of a bear and a leopard. You don't know how to write the word "death"!" The leader immediately picked up a stick and shouted towards the ground. Sun Tu's blow came with great force, and it also gave Sun Tu room to dodge to the left and right.
Sun Tu didn't dare to be negligent, he immediately raised his hand and picked it up with the stick, and then he took the force of the stick aside. At the same time, he shouted: "Don't misunderstand me, I am not a bad person. If you don't believe me, just ask Everyone!"
The people on the side who had been captured by other slaves also shouted: "What an injustice. We all have good intentions and helped you save the child. Why do you think we are kidnappers!"
The man was a little surprised when his stick was blocked, and then he discovered that those around him were indeed just ordinary people, and the young master on the side looked unhurt. Then he paused his offensive and said with some suspicion: "Seriously, what I said is true. What evidence do you have?"
"Evidence, the kidnapper is still there..." Sun Tugu was about to say that the real thief was tied up nearby, but at a glance, he found that the other party was no longer there. This made him stunned. What was going on?
Everyone else also noticed this change at this time, and everyone looked surprised. Why did the tied kidnapper disappear in just the blink of an eye
Fortunately, Sun Tu was not slow to adapt to the situation and immediately changed his words: "Ask your young master if I told a lie!"
The Hao Nu had already arrived in front of Tong Yuan, and while bending down to salute, he asked, "Young Master, you are not frightened, and you are not injured anywhere, are you?"
But after seeing him, the child shrank back in fright, curled his lips and started crying again, as if he didn't recognize him at all. On the contrary, he had a slight dependence on Sun Tu, who had just saved him. In an instant, he was in Sun Tu's arms.
The scene seemed a bit embarrassing now, especially the rich slaves, who didn't know what to do, because now it looked like they were trying to rob someone else's child. Although the people around them did not dare to speak due to the aura of these people, their eyes also showed suspicion towards them.
Sun Tu, on the other hand, seemed quite calm at this time. He believed that these slaves were not the accomplices of the kidnapper, but were indeed members of Tong Yuan's family. After all, just by looking at their clothes and arrogant appearance, you can tell that they are of extraordinary origin and are suitable for this child. As for why the child had such a reaction, it was either because he was too frightened, or because he was not very familiar with the servants in the house. After all, he was still young and could not often come into contact with these men in the house.
"I think now you should believe that what I said is true, otherwise your young master would not be like this." Sun Tu said calmly: "On your side, you still have some problems. So, you go to Kaifeng Mansion with us, How about letting the government make the decision?"
"No, my master is very anxious because he knows that the young master has been kidnapped. How long will it take to go to Kaifeng Mansion again! We are going to take him away now. If you have any doubts, just go back with us. When the time comes We'll see what happens next!" The leading slave had his own opinions.
Sun Tu thought for a while and felt that what he said made some sense. Anyone who loses a child is anxious and always wants to see him back safely as soon as possible. This is human nature. And whether it was to prove his innocence or to take responsibility to the end to ensure nothing went wrong, he had to accompany him on this trip.
So Sun Tu soon said: "Then I will go with you. Is there any fellow countryman who is willing to go with you?"
This time, the people who were willing to accompany him before all backed down. This matter had something to do with the noble family, and it was also the Tong family. Everyone did not dare to get too involved, so they waved their hands and found various excuses not to go again.
In the end, only Sun Tu and these powerful slaves took Tong Yuan on this trip. What was a bit surprising was that the child actually only let Sun Tu carry him on his back, but refused to get close to those wealthy slaves, which made everyone around him marvel for a while.
What no one knew was that Sun Tu actually had another thought behind his words. Although it is a gentleman's duty to never forget to repay kindness, but now my family is in a difficult situation, and it will always be helpful if we can really form a good relationship with a certain powerful family in this city.
At the same time, in a remote alley not far away, two men who had been mixed in with the crowd used knives to cut the rope around the kidnapper. It turns out that this kidnapper actually has another accomplice!
"Lao Ba, you got into a big trouble this time. You actually kidnapped the young master of the Tong family!" As they walked, one of them complained worriedly.
The kidnapper, who was called Lao Ba, had a frightened look on his face: "How do I know that child is from the Tong family? It seems that he has left the city to escape the limelight..." As they spoke, several people quickly disappeared into the darkness.
