The guard pushed him away. “What’s with the chit-chat? You’re blocking the city gate.”

The man smiled ingratiatingly. “My lord, please calm down.”

As he spoke, he secretly stuffed a corner of silver into the hands of the soldiers guarding the city gate.

The soldier had a smile on his face. “Alright, I know you didn’t do it on purpose. Just leave after I’m done checking.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Naturally, I won’t delay your work.”

The man said as he waited at the side with confidence.

Two soldiers stepped forward. One of them casually lifted the curtain of the carriage. Suddenly, he exclaimed, “What’s wrong with this person?”

“Someone has been kidnapped!”

“Someone come quickly.”

Soon, four or five soldiers rushed over with weapons in their hands and handcuffed the two men beside the carriage.

The two men were shocked and subconsciously wanted to resist, but their arms were firmly held down by the soldiers.

Only then did they see a young man in luxurious clothes tied up inside the carriage. His mouth was still gagged. It was obvious that he had been abducted.

The two men’s eyes were filled with shock. They already activated the secret compartment, right?

Besides, he was tied up with a cloth bag earlier!

The two of them were shocked.

It was the most lively place at the city gate, and soon, the citizens surrounded it.

When the county government learned that there were kidnappers, a team of bailiffs quickly came.

Xie Yu was unconscious in the carriage. A bailiff drove a carriage and rushed to the county office. At the same time, another bailiff went to inform the Xie family.

Xie Yu was quite famous, and everyone in the county government knew him. Seeing that something had happened to the Young Master of the Xie family, they did not dare to delay. They pushed back everything and resolved this matter first.

The two men were temporarily imprisoned.

Xie Yu was carried into the county office.

The carriage was pulled to the backyard by the bailiffs, intending to be kept as evidence.

Soon, the backyard was quiet and empty.

Han Zhuang jumped down from the corner of a wall and quickly opened the curtain of the carriage. He saw that Ye Muyu had already come out of the secret compartment with two torn cloth bags and ropes in her hands.

“Let’s go out of the county office first.” Ye Muyu did not want to be the victim.

Firstly, Landlord Wang did not make a move himself. Moreover, the kidnappers had not been arrested yet. They could get away with a few excuses.

If news of her being kidnapped spread, her reputation would be damaged. That would only benefit Landlord Wang.

She would not be so stupid.

Han Zhuang nodded and quietly left the county office with Ye Muyu.

The two of them did not stay and went straight back to the bookstore.

As soon as they arrived at the bookstore, Han Zhuang bumped into a man because he was in a hurry. The book in the man’s hand fell to the ground, and Ye Muyu subconsciously turned around.

Seeing Han Zhuang apologizing and the man saying that he was fine, he bent down to pick up the book from the ground.

The book was the most common children’s beginner’s book, the Three Character Classic.

Ye Muyu’s gaze fell on his hand, and saw that there were many calluses on his hand. Her eyes narrowed, and she looked at his face a few more times before calmly shifting her gaze away.

Ye Muyu quickly entered the bookstore. The shopkeeper saw her and quickly welcomed her into the room behind.

Then, he sent someone to inform Butler Luo.

“Han Zhuang, come here. I have something to tell you.” Ye Muyu waved at him and whispered something.

“Don’t delay, go quickly.”

“Alright.” When Han Zhuang heard that he had to inquire about the whereabouts of the people who had suddenly appeared in the county office, he naturally knew the importance of this matter. He quickly went out to investigate.

At this moment.

When Butler Xie finally saw Xie Yu, who had just woken up in the county office, tears streamed down his face. “Third Young Master, you’re finally fine. Master and Madam were worried sick and were just about to come over..”
