Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 884 Prelude (2) Part 1, Part 2

As soon as Zhang Liangchuan finished speaking, his father took over the conversation tiredly.

"Yesterday, Censor Liu's daughter was kidnapped, and rumors spread throughout the city. They said the thieves from twenty years ago had returned, and that the missing girl would never return, just like the missing daughter. My eldest son came home last night and told me this nonsense, and I scolded him."

"I never thought that last night he would secretly send Nishang out while I was away with Liangchuan on business, and forced her to write letters to several classmates before leaving the city, inviting them to go out with her. He even stole my token and opened the city gate. What a wicked creature..."

By the end of his speech, Zhang Bufan was already in tears and slammed the door uncontrollably.

Zhang Liangchuan hurried forward to support his father, and continued with a pained expression, "My eldest brother has been imprisoned by the Minister of Justice. If these children are not found, my Zhang family will be blamed. My father has just submitted a petition to apologize."

Wang and Lin looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort the two.

Lin Yuzan: I’m afraid Mr. Zhang’s official career has come to an end here!

Wang Cheng: This eldest son is really betraying his father!

The two of them couldn't help but add another layer of concern to their child's future education.

Lin Yuzan sighed and stood up, saying comfortingly, "Now that we know who did it, we will definitely find those girls. Master Zhang, Brother Liangchuan, please relax."

Zhang Bufan and his son gave him a helpless look that said "It's not that easy".

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside. After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Zhang Liangchuan asked them to have a good rest and then helped his father out. Immediately, a questioning voice came in.

"Master Zhang, can you please find out what happened between Young Master Wang and Scholar Lin? Why aren't they at the Imperial Examination Hall?"

Then, Zhang Liangchuan responded in a stern tone, "Master Cui, a series of girls disappeared yesterday, and your daughter was also involved. How could Brother Wang and Brother Lin possibly go to the Imperial Examination Hall? Of course, they must first settle Princess Le'an."

"Liangchuan, don't be rude." Zhang Bufan shouted.

He looked at Cui Xiangyang, who had a gloomy expression, and explained briefly, "When they were escorting Princess Jiahe and Princess Le'an into the palace, they encountered Shangguan Wenyuan who stopped their carriage. Fortunately, the emperor sent a lot of people to protect the two princesses, and they are now in the palace."

Cui Xiangyang nodded grimly, then raised his eyes to look at the half-open door and said, "I just went to check on Princess Jiahe's servants. They were all poisoned by a kind of incense called Thousand Days Drunk. I'll go check on them. If it's not serious, acupuncture should wake them up."

Behind the door, Wang Cheng was peeping silently. He turned around to look at his old rival and said silently, "It seems we woke up too early!"

Lin Yuzan pursed his lips in response.

They were indeed under the influence of the incense.

However, before that, after they showed Xiangsizi their financial resources, this person suggested changing the medicine and mixing in some other herbs that strengthen the body. Although they could not be immune to all poisons, the effects of ordinary poisons on them had been greatly weakened.

(Acacia seeds: If you want to be immune to all poisons, just add silver!

Wang and Lin: Forget it, making money is not easy!)

Wang Cheng looked outside the door again and heard Zhang Bufan and his son reject his proposal.

"Doctor Cui, it's just a knockout incense. Once the effect wears off, they'll wake up on their own. You don't have to worry about it," Zhang Bufan said. "I have something important to ask you."

Cui Xiangyang turned his head when he heard this, and then he heard him ask, "Doctor Cui, do you know if Doctor Shangguan's son is still alive?"

His expression suddenly changed, and he asked in disbelief: "What did you say, Shangguan Yiyang is still alive?"

Cui Xiangyang no longer cared about Wang and Lin, and pulled Zhang Bufan away.

At the same time, in a cellar in Yanjing.

"Shangguan Wenyuan" coughed heavily a few times, carried two heavy food boxes, walked down the dim stairs, and came to an iron gate.

As the sharp sound of "creaking" was heard, countless low sobs instantly filled the ears.

As soon as he raised his eyes, one of the food boxes was quickly taken away.

Cui Zhiyao, carrying a food box, glanced towards the dark passage and asked, "Wenyuan, has the princess's sister been captured as well?"

"Shangguan Wenyuan" glanced at her and replied calmly, "It failed. Princess Le'an has been sent to the palace by her father."

As soon as he finished speaking, a contemptuous voice sounded from inside.

"Father Lin and Uncle Wang are both very smart. When they learn that we have all been captured, they will naturally send the princess's sister to a safe place. You still want to capture her? You are simply dreaming."

Cui Zhiyao looked at the person who was speaking and gently reminded her, "Sister Zhang, don't say these things, lest Doctor Zhao hears and makes him angry."

"To put it bluntly, our parents are stupid. They actually thought of sending us out of the city. They should have followed Father Lin's example and sent us to the palace. Maybe we could have followed the princess and her younger sister and gotten free food and drinks!" Jin Xingman said regretfully.

She also cited an example, "Sister Chen was taken into the palace by Uncle Pei. Otherwise, if she had stopped her, Sister Liu wouldn't have been tricked into coming here by you."

Cui Zhiyao's heart sank, and she quickly looked at Liu Zhenying who was sitting in the corner, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, sister Liu, I had no choice."

Jin Xingman continued to nag, "Sister Liu's mother is still pregnant. If anything happens to Sister Cui because of her, even if Sister Cui tells her everything, Sister Liu will never forgive you."

"Manman, stop talking, Sister Liu is going to cry again!" Xu Niannian reminded in a low voice.

Jin Xingman, however, didn't mind making a big deal out of it and jokingly said, "Sister Xu's stuttering is finally gone. It's really cause for celebration. Sister Cui has done a good thing too."

Xu Niannian: ...

The little girl pursed her lips speechlessly, then looked at Liu Zhenying worriedly.

She suddenly raised her head, tears streaming down her cheeks, and glared at Cui Zhiyao: "Cui Zhiyao, I was worried about you, but you actually pretended to be stupid and drugged me. If anything happens to my mother because of me, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."

Cui Zhiyao lowered her eyes hurt, and her hand holding the food box unconsciously clenched. She said in a tearful voice: "Eat, eat well, then we have a chance to escape."

After saying that, she opened the food box and distributed the steamed buns inside to everyone with ease.

The children and sisters all took it obediently. After all, even though they were angry, Cui Zhiyao was not wrong.

At this moment, Cui Zhiyao noticed something was wrong and glanced at Shangguan Wenyuan. "Wenyuan, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?"

"Shangguan Wenyuan" glanced at her and complained, "You're too slow. I still have to deliver food to others."

Cui Zhiyao quickly closed the lunch box, picked it up and walked to his side: "I'll help you."

"Shangguan Wenyuan" didn't say a word. After she came out, he locked the iron gate again and walked towards another iron gate.
