Chapter 7326: See
Taian City.
In the alley, Wei Linqi excitedly carried the box and walked inside.
But not long after he walked in, there was an old woman running towards him from the opposite side.
While running, his face turned pale and ugly.
"Third Young Master, it's not good. Runniang has been taken away."
That woman has been a rough maid in the Xing family for many years and is very good at taking care of people. This time she is hiding here too. , taking care of both of them.
Wei Linqi's face didn't have much color to begin with. He was frightened by the woman's words and turned pale. His fingers couldn't hold the box, so it slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, causing water to splash. All over the place.
"Who captured Runniang?"
Wei Linqi asked with a glimmer of hope.
He was very afraid that Runniang would be captured by the Wei family. If that happened, he would have no chance or possibility of rescue. Then fall into complete despair.
His glimmer of hope is that maybe Runniang was not captured by the Wei family.
“It’s the person from the pawn shop that attracts wealth...” the woman said in panic.
Not the Wei family!
Wei Linqi breathed a sigh of relief, but turned around and became worried again.
This fortune pawn shop is not something to be trifled with.
Isn’t it because the money owed to them is overdue? As for coming here to arrest people?
Wei Linqi is worried that the Lucky Pawn Shop will find out his true identity through Runniang and betray him to the Wei family.
But now he has nothing and nothing to rely on... Should he go to the Lin family again?
It is true that when he fled the Wei family, it was the Lin family who sheltered him.
But the Lin family is definitely not out of good intentions!
As one of the few big families in Tai'an City, the Lin family is by no means a vegetarian white rabbit. On the contrary, like the Wei family, they are both man-eating wolves.
Don’t he still understand what their intention was to help him escape from the Wei family’s pursuit?
He would never go to the Lin family unless absolutely necessary!
But now, Runniang is accidentally caught, what should we do?
Wei Linqi's eyes flickered and his thoughts turned over and over again. For a moment, he didn't know how to clear his mind, until he heard a cry from a distance.
“Official!”
The familiar voice made him turn his head and look subconsciously.
He was stunned when he saw Runniang in coarse cloth rushing toward him from a short distance, almost suspecting that he was hallucinating.
He didn't react until Runniang threw herself into his arms and felt the familiar body temperature.
"Run Niang, is it really you? Did the Lucky Pawn Shop let you out?"
"How could they be so kind...it was the benefactor who spent money to redeem me." Run Niang raised her face, With tears in her eyes.
"Benefactor? What kind of benefactor?" Wei Linqi was very wary.
Who would redeem Runniang for no reason? Could it be the Lin family?
The first thing he could think of was the Lin family.
But it's not a good thing to get "favor" from the Lin family. The Lin family will make him pay it back a thousand times.
"Benefactor, it's right behind." Runniang turned her head and pointed to the back.
Sure enough, three people came out from the side and behind.
Two of the women were wearing cloaks and veils, and their faces could not be seen clearly, while the other, a handsome young master named Shengxue in white, was known to Wei Linqi. "What? Don't you recognize us?" Luo Xingchen smiled slightly.
"Master, thank you for saving my life."
Wei Linqi took a step forward and bowed deeply.
Although he still felt wary in his heart, this life-saving kindness was also solid.
Luo Xingchen stretched out his hand to support Wei Linqi and said, "You're welcome. Let's go back and talk. There are a lot of people talking outside."
"Yes, young master."
Wei Linqi stood up straight and led Luo Xingchen, Zi Yan, and Bi She into the alley.
The old woman was overjoyed to see the eldest lady returning safely. She had already taken a few steps to prepare tea under Wei Linqi's instructions.
After learning Wei Linqi's identity, Luo Xingchen suddenly realized that the patched clothes he was wearing were deliberately disguised. He was not without valuable clothes.
After following Wei Linqi into the alley, after twists and turns, we finally came to the entrance of a courtyard.
This place is very hidden, no wonder Wei Linqi is hiding here.
Walking in from the wooden door, there is a small courtyard inside, with a lobby in the middle, kitchens on the left and right, penthouses, etc., which can be considered complete.
"We are poor and have nothing to entertain a few distinguished guests. We can only taste the mountain tea brought from my hometown."
Wei Linqi entered the house and asked Luo Xingchen and Zi Yan, Bi She sat down and pointed at the tea that the old woman had prepared in advance.
"It's quite good. It seems that the tea in Tai'an City is good." This was Luo Xingchen's first time to taste this kind of tea, but he could taste that this tea should be a precious local specialty.
After a few words of greeting, Wei Linqi introduced himself: "My surname is Wei and my first name is Lin Qi. I wonder who the young master and the two fairies are?"
"I won't hide it from you, we are from the imperial court."
Luo Xingchen took out a pass with his relevant information on it, which was certified by the imperial court.
“It turns out to be the Admiral!” Wei Linqi stood in awe.
Navy Admiral Luo Xingchen is also the eldest son of the loyal and brave General Luo Fengtang. No matter which one of these two identities is taken out, it is very impressive.
"My two sisters, Sister Ziyan and Sister Bishe, are both hidden guards of the imperial court." Luo Xingchen added.
In order to prove their identities, Zi Yan and Bi Snake also took out their identity tokens.
Wei Linqi is a man who has studied and is a scholar, so he is naturally very knowledgeable. He can roughly tell that these identity tokens are genuine.
"It was just a coincidence that I met you. We came from the capital, Taian City, and it was our temporary foothold."
"As for rescuing Runniang, it is actually I was moved by your story, and I don’t want to see you end badly.” Of course, Luo Xingchen didn’t mean everything from his heart, but he didn’t lie either.
"It seems that I didn't hide it from your Majesty. Your Majesty saw it... Hey, without you, we would be in danger." Wei Linqi said sincerely.
"Who protected you after you left the Wei family?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"Sir, you know that I am from the Wei family. The risks here are very high. It is better for you not to get involved. It will cause big trouble." Wei Linqi did not answer Luo Xingchen's words, but said sternly.
“Big trouble?” Luo Xingchen raised his eyebrows.
Seeing Luo Xingchen's disapproval, Wei Linqi sighed and explained: "I know that you come from a famous family and you are also an official of the imperial court, but the Wei family is really not simple... The current head of the Wei family, Wei Dewang, was also a Jinshi back then. origin, highest He used to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and now he is retired at home, but he was once a member of the Wan Jin sect, and his power was intricate and powerful."
"I see, besides that, what else does the Wei family have? Do you want to rely on me?" Luo Xingchen had a serious look on his face.
