Chapter 326 A Good Seedling that Is Rare to See in a Century (Second Update)

Shu Xiyao checked his body again before looking out the window.

The sky outside gradually became brighter. He remembered that he had to report to the Captain's Mansion today and did not dare to delay. He hurriedly put on ordinary clothes and walked out of the room.

The great elder saw him coming out and said quickly: "Leader, the child you brought back is too good to eat. He hasn't stopped eating since last night. The cooks are all exhausted, so they have to let the cooks rest first. Then When the child saw that there was nothing to eat, he ran out on his own. No matter how hard we chased him, we couldn't get him back. "

"He ran away?" Shu Xiyao thought about the other party treating him as his adopted son, and said, "He should come back. You just need to hire more cooks to prepare more meals."

"yes."

Shu Xiyao said no more and hurried to the Duwei Mansion.

When Liu Qianhu saw him, he hummed: "I thought you wouldn't come."

Shu Xiyao saw them about to go out and asked, "Where are you going now?"

"We are going to catch one now..." Liu Qianhu was not sure what he wanted to catch: "A wild beast."

"Beast?" Shu Xiyao's eyes flashed with confusion: "What beast?"

"I don't know either." Liu Qianhu became particularly irritated when he thought about this incident: "In short, any thieves who steal food will be caught."

These words made Shu Xiyao inexplicably think of Taotie.

He looked at the other Jin Yiwei, but Mu Nanjin was nowhere to be seen: "Where are Mu Nanjin and Senior Wu?"

"One is still sleeping, and the other is not interested in this matter." Liu Qianhu did not want to send out two giant Buddhas for this trivial matter: "They said, if we can't catch them, we will look for them again."

When Shu Xiyao heard this, he didn't want to go either.

But when he returned to Jinyiwei, he couldn't be so casual, so he could only go out with Liu Qianhu and the others.

Liu Qianhu divided the Jinyiwei into twenty teams, ten of which were responsible for patrolling the streets, and the other teams were responsible for the small alleys. Once something came out of the ground, no matter what it was, catch it first.

It was early in the morning and the restaurants had not yet opened for business, so the restaurants were very quiet. On the contrary, there were angry curses coming from the breakfast stalls.

"That thing came to steal something again."

"Everyone, catch him quickly."

"He's there, everyone hurry up and catch him with bamboo baskets."

"Ah, he went underground again."

Liu Qianhu heard the noise and hurried over with Jin Yiwei.

However, when they arrived, a small cave was left next to several stalls.

Shu Xiyao looked at the small cave and said nothing for a long time.

Because the size of the cave was exactly the same as the cave dug by the little brat who claimed to be his adoptive father.

He was sure it was Taotie who did it.

If he did it, it would be difficult for Jin Yiwei to catch him.

"He must still be nearby. He hasn't gone far." Liu Qianhu divided their team into five teams: "Shu Xiyao, lead someone to patrol the nearby alleys."

"Yes." Shu Xiyao walked into Xiao Cangzi next to him with three royal guards.

The road in the alley was only one foot wide, and the ground was paved with pebbles. There were not many people coming and going, so the five men with fierce looks who were approaching were very eye-catching.

Shu Xiyao looked at them twice.

The other party also glanced at them. Seeing that the people Shu Xiyao was wearing were all wearing flying fish robes, he stood aside to let them pass and then walked deeper into the alley on the other side. He did not stop until he came to the door of a large courtyard. , and the sound of children laughing and noisy came from the house.

The leading man coughed seven times, and then, with a squeak, the courtyard door was opened.

When Wen Niang poked her head out and saw that it was a regular customer, she immediately smiled widely: "Master Wei, you are here, please come in quickly."

Master Wei walked into the house with four of his men and looked at the children in the courtyard. He curled up his lips and said, "If you haven't been here for a year, you have many more children here, and they are all new faces. The previous children are all new." Sold?"

"Thanks to Master Wei, everything has been sold."

Wen Niang poured tea and cakes for Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei took a sip of tea and said, "Old rules."

"I know." Wen Niang smiled and then asked the children to line up in four lines.

The children shrank in fear as they looked at the five big men with fierce looks.

Wen Niang smiled and said: "Children, let me introduce to you. His name is Mr. Wei, and he is the one who is here to adopt you. As long as the children he likes, they will be able to have a good life in the future, which is endless. Glory is precious.”

The children were still very scared.

Wen Niang quickly pulled them to stand in four lines.

Master Wei looked at the children and asked, "Are they all here?"

A trace of invisible guilt flashed through Wen Niang's eyes: "They're all here."

Master Wei signaled his four men with his divine eyes.

Four of his men walked up to the children to check their bones. However, after checking them all, none of them satisfied them.

The four men returned to Master Wei and shook their heads.

Mr. Wei looked at Wen Niang: "Wen Niang, your children are not good enough."

Wen Niang was embarrassed: "Isn't there anyone who can like her?"

"No."

Not wanting to waste time, Mr. Wei stood up and was about to leave when he heard a child's tender voice coming from a room.

"Eh? Isn't that Mr. Wei coming to see us?"

Mr. Wei suddenly turned around and looked at the room opposite. The door of the room was closed tightly, deliberately preventing people inside from coming out.

Wen Niang's face changed drastically.

Mr. Wei lowered his face and looked at Wen Niang: "Didn't you say that all the children are here?"

Wen Niang said anxiously: "Master Wei, please listen to my explanation. The children inside are kidnapped from rich people's homes. They are intended to use the children to ask for ransom from the rich people, and they are not intended to be sold."

Mr. Wei didn't care about her reasons, turned around and motioned for his men to open the door.

His men kicked open the door roughly, and he couldn't help but froze when he saw four beautiful children standing inside.

After living for so many years, this was the first time he saw a little baby who was too beautiful to be human.

"Master Wei, there are four children here."

Master Wei was not interested in how many children there were: "Look at how strong their bones are."

"yes."

Wen Niang was so anxious that she kept praying in her heart that Mr. Wei's people would look down on the four children in the house.

Master Wei's men touched the bodies of the four children. The more he touched, the more surprised he became, and a big smile spread out unconsciously at the corner of his mouth.

Bai Hu said proudly: "I am absolutely in good health."

Hun Chao then said, "I'm sure it's good too."

Bai Ze sighed slightly and was too lazy to talk about them anymore.

Master Wei's men said happily: "Master Wei, the four children in the house are all good seedlings, good seedlings that are rare to see in a hundred years."

"Really?" Mr. Wei's gloomy face finally showed a smile: "Take them all back to me."

"Yes." The other three men walked into the room and tapped the child's mute points, and then walked out one by one holding the child.

Wen Niang said anxiously: "Master Wei, can you leave me a child?"

Mr. Wei snorted coldly: "I'm not angry at you for lying to me. I've shown mercy to you because of our past friendship. Are you seeking death if you still dare to let me keep a child now?"

"It's not easy for me to make a living, so I just want you to keep a child so that I can make a lot of money."

"What's so hard about selling kidnapped children for money?"

Mr. Wei didn't pity her at all. He took out five one-hundred-tael silver notes and threw them in front of her: "Four hundred taels are the child's money, and the one hundred taels are for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Wei." Seeing that he had made up his mind, Wen Niang did not dare to stop him, otherwise she might die waiting for him.

Master Wei left with his men and children.

Not far after they walked out of the compound, they met the Jin Yiwei they had seen before again. (End of chapter)
