The official kept talking to the pirates who stopped moving. Although Meng Changqing couldn't understand, he could probably guess the content based on the pirates' reaction.
Seeing the pirate put the lifted woman down on the ground, he shouted back to the officials of the Siyi Pavilion.
After the two parties talked, the pirates took two women hostage and walked carefully towards Meng Changqing.
"People in front, let them pass for now."
Upon hearing this, Meng Changqing protected the people in the carriage and moved out of the way.
Seeing the pirates grabbing the two ladies and passing in front of her, Meng Changqing found that one of them was familiar. It was the little girl who bumped into the woman next to him to make way for him when he went to find the female officer.
Just as she saw Mrs. Wei's embarrassment then, she also saw the little girl's nervousness.
But now she looked panicked, with tears hanging on her cheeks.
The pirates passed the barrier of the Royal Forest Army and immediately accelerated their speed. Unexpectedly, the woman who was first caught by them fell to the ground.
It can be seen that the man who took the shot wanted to catch the woman back, but he failed in the first attempt. Due to the situation, he did not have the courage to try a second time, so he had to let the woman fall where she was. The man was probably thinking that luckily they still had something on their hands. There is a hostage.
The surrounding officers and soldiers dispersed from inconspicuous corners, and Meng Changqing guessed that they should go around to the front to intercept.
At this time, some of the remaining officers and soldiers followed the pirates closely, while others comforted the frightened lady and asked for the identity of the person who was taken away.
Some officers and soldiers also came to Meng Changqing. The visitor saluted Chu Mufeng and Meng Changqing, "I am the chief arrester in Xiadu Prefecture and have been ordered to capture the thieves. I am deeply sorry for disturbing everyone. I don't know who you honor? Are you from Changchun Garden too?" ”
Meng Changqing returned the greeting, "Meng Changqing, magistrate of Beishan County, in the car were the family members of the magistrate of Liangzhou. They came out of Changchun Garden and were about to go back to their hometown. Unexpectedly, something like this happened. There were some injured in the front of the house. The ones who were robbed just now Who is the lady? ”
"It turned out to be Mr. Meng. The ladies were frightened, but fortunately there were no serious injuries. The one who was kidnapped was the daughter of Mr. Mo from the Ministry of Rites. Other detectives have already gone after her, and the government will definitely find a way to rescue Miss Mo."
"Can someone be sent to inform Langzhong Mo?"
"The arrest has already been made." The chief arrester said to Meng Changqing, "Mr. Meng, please return home as soon as possible."
Meng Changqing was nodding his head when a policeman ran over quickly from a distance, "Boss, they saw that the situation was not good and hid in a house."
"Let's go!"
Meng Changqing watched them walk away, but what he was thinking about was the quick glance just now.
"Drive!"
No matter what, she had to send the Wei family mother and daughter back first.
After such a dangerous incident, the previous cars finally pulled over. Regardless of the chaotic scene here, Meng Changqing drove directly by and sent the Wei family mother and daughter to the gate of Wei Mansion.
Watching them enter the house, Meng Changqing still paid attention, "Those thieves haven't been caught yet. My aunt has to tell the family to be alert and not to be careless."
After this experience, Mrs. Wei became more sincere to Meng Changqing, "If it weren't for your escort, how could we go home in such a peaceful way? Maybe it was our mother and daughter who were held hostage just now, Changqing, thank you so much."
Meng Changqing said: "Why do family members need to thank each other for this? My aunt closed the door tightly."
Mrs. Wei was worried, "It's too dangerous for you to go back at night, so why not rest here for a night."
"Thank you for your kindness, aunt. It's just that I have something to do when I return home. Don't worry about me. I am guarded by the imperial guards. Even if I encounter those thieves, they will be unlucky.
When my nephew returns to Liangzhou, he must pass through Liangzhou Mansion. Does his aunt have anything that Changqing can bring to his uncle? ”
Judging from Mrs. Wei's expression, she was obviously thinking about whether she could do this. After thinking for a short time, Mrs. Wei said: "I have some ready-made clothes. If you can, please bring them to me."
"Of course, aunt just go get it."
Mrs. Wei invited them into the house to sit for a while.
This sitting was just the time for two cups of tea, and with the servants of the Wei family entertaining them with delicious food, Meng Changqing and others did not find it boring to wait.
Mrs. Wei personally carried the package and opened it before handing it to Meng Changqing. She showed Meng Changqing the inside and outside of each piece of clothing before wrapping it and handing it over to her.
Meng Changqing understood why she did this, and he had a different view of this aunt than before.
When leaving, Mrs. Wei paid many attention to her, telling her to pay attention to her safety and not to be careless just because she had martial arts skills.
Meng Changqing naturally nodded repeatedly.
After leaving the Wei Mansion, Meng Changqing and others hurried home as quickly as possible.
Along the way, although Meng Changqing thought of the kidnapped woman from time to time, she didn't want to get into trouble. Besides, what could she do for the girl?
As long as the police from the capital are here, they will definitely rescue the person.
Unexpectedly, people don’t look for trouble, things look for people.
On their way back, they encountered thieves who took hostages and climbed over the wall.
Perhaps this was fate, and this person was destined for her to save him.
Meng Changqing drew his sword and jumped up, blocking the thief on the spot. Seeing this, Chu Mufeng and others naturally picked up their weapons and followed Meng Changqing.
Before the thief could stand firmly on the ground, Meng Changqing struck him in the face with a knife. This man moved quickly and his force should be far superior to Meng Changqing's.
Although Meng Changqing was caught by surprise, this man was actually able to dodge such a sharp knife.
Several imperial guards gathered around, some to stop other thieves, and some to help Meng Changqing. Although they did not communicate in advance, they cooperated tacitly.
Meng Changqing was fighting three against one, and the man had another person in his hand. Naturally, his movements were restricted, and he was almost injured several times.
It's just that he has the hostage in hand. If Meng Changqing and others want to save the hostage, they must move quickly before the opponent's sharp weapon has penetrated the hostage. Otherwise, there will be no need to fight.
With the cooperation of the imperial guards, Meng Changqing slashed the thief's right hand with a knife. The hand immediately became useless and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground. Meng Changqing stepped forward and kicked the opponent's chest. At the same time, he blocked Miss Mo's shoulders with his hands. He used his hands and feet at the same time to rescue Miss Mo.
But she didn't expect that the thief had more weapons than just his hand. Although his right hand was injured, his left hand pulled out a short thorn from his waist at an extremely fast speed.
In the blink of an eye, the short thorn pierced the ankle Meng Changqing kicked.
She didn't even have time to react to the pain. She pushed Miss Mo back and swung the knife in her hand again.
At this time, the police officers had actually arrived, but they were fighting in a melee, and the police officers outside could not intervene.
Seeing the hostages being rescued, the chief catcher shouted: "Archers, prepare! Brothers of the Royal Guards in front, I will count to three and you will retreat in time."
"One! Two! Three!"
As they advanced and retreated, Meng Changqing and the Imperial Forest Army retreated, bows and arrows flying towards them. (End of chapter)
