Chapter 163 The Lady of the Constable's House (41)
Gu Sanhe stretched out his body and said, "My niece, you're back. I went to the restaurant to buy roast goose today. Don't cook."
"I'll look for Ming'er."
"He just fell asleep, there..."
Gu Sanhe looked at the small bed under the shade of the flowers. There was no one there at all, and Gu Yuxi said, "I'll go to the backyard to check."
After searching all the places where his son usually liked to hide for a stick of incense, Gu Yuxi turned on the location monitoring and saw that his son was no longer in the service area within five miles!
"Niece-in-law, there's none there either."
Gu Sanhe's scalp was numb from being stared at by Gu Yuxi, and he suddenly heard the man sneer and said, "You'd better not be in the same group with those bugs in the dark."
The man was stunned: the woman suddenly used her Qinggong skills and quickly left the yard!
He hurried after her, and saw the woman reaching the banyan forest on the hill behind, holding a dart and shooting it at one of the banyan trees.
Ye Qi, who was hanging on the tree, had no time to dodge. His body went limp and he fell off the tree. A whip hooked his waist and he was thrown to the ground by the woman.
Seeing clearly that the man was Ye Qi, the commander of the imperial palace, Gu Sanhe hurriedly called out, "My niece, this man is innocent and would not do such a thing as stealing a child."
"If he didn't do it, could it be you who did it? I don't have any royal relatives or important officials here. Minister Gu, for my husband's sake, I see the truth but don't say it. Don't use your elder's airs to blackmail me morally."
His true colors were exposed, and Gu Sanhe had no time to stop it. Gu Yuxi swung at him with a whip, and the sound was horrible.
"what!"
"Where is my son?"
The two men were lifted up in the air, and a familiar feeling of suffocation came over them. Ye Qi was filled with fear, knowing that Gu Yuxi was the one, but it seemed that he was also going to die.
Gu Sanhe, who was still able to speak, explained: "Niece-in-law, don't be angry. Yuming is my grandson. I can't possibly do such a heartless thing."
"The child was lost at your place, and I never thought that you were a thief who stole my son with a gilded appearance! You'd better hand my son over to me, or I will turn you into a wisp of smoke, leaving not even a bone residue in this world."
"This man can't be killed now. Don't be angry. I'll go find him!"
Gu Yuxi threw the man to the ground so hard that Gu Sanhe felt that his old bones were not strong enough to withstand three knocks from this woman.
Xiao Zhuoxuan, that boy, coaxed this female demon into being so coquettish. He is a real man and very capable!
After getting a chance to catch his breath, Ye Qi knelt down and said, "Madam Xiao, I can't steal a child. Don't be angry. I'll go find him right away."
"Your strength is only this level, otherwise how could a child disappear so easily right under your noses?"
Gu Sanhe quickly expressed his opinion: "Daughter-in-law, you are very angry when you know that Yuming is missing. I will immediately ask someone to look for him. If any bastard dares to touch my grandson, I will be angry with him."
"Don't try to be my relative! You better pray that my son is okay, or else you'll be damned!"
The woman stuffed poison into the two men's mouths, tied Ye Qi to a tree, and sneered: "My son was not lost before, but he was lost today. It has everything to do with you two. If you can't find him, don't even think about removing the poison from your bodies!"
"Ahem, my daughter-in-law..."
Gu Yuxi didn't have time to waste with these two people. His son had been missing for only two hours. Gu Sanhe said he would check, but the faint aphrodisiac incense in the courtyard didn't give them any chance.
Seeing Gu Yuxi disappear in a flash, Ye Qi covered his arm and asked, "Minister Gu, what happened?"
"My grandson is lost, what else can I do!"
Seeing that Xiao Zhuoxuan's wife and son had disappeared, Gu Sanhe hurried to the yamen. What a sin!
Ye Qi: Why don’t you help me untie it first!
"Zhuo Xuan!"
"Uncle, why are you here?"
"It's urgent, very urgent, you should go home quickly!"
Xiao Zhuoxuan was dragged away before he could react. Walking on the street, he heard Gu Sanhe say, "Zhuoxuan, my grandson is missing, and my daughter-in-law is nowhere to be found."
"What do you mean?"
"It's all uncle's fault. I was watching over Yuming at home, but for some reason, he fell into a deeper sleep. When your wife came back and saw that the child was missing, she scolded me a few words and then ran off to somewhere unknown."
The man suddenly became anxious and asked, "Uncle, you said my son is missing, and now I don't know where my wife is?"
"That's what it means."
Xiao Zhuoxuan immediately ran back home. It was empty. There was a man tied to a plum tree in the backyard. He held a dagger against the man's neck and asked, "Where are my family members?"
"Don't be angry, my dear. I don't know either. This has nothing to do with me!"
"Uncle Sanhe, do you have any enemies?"
Gu Sanhe said anxiously: "Zhuo Xuan, this matter is indeed my fault. Maybe I have caused you trouble."
"I only listen to useful things. What's going on with this kidnapped person?"
Xiao Zhuoxuan knew that he couldn't lose his composure now, so he just listened to Gu Sanhe's useless nonsense.
"I have many enemies, but those were just minor fights in the court. I didn't have any enemies before I disbanded the escort agency."
"This man is useless, just kill him!"
"No, he is the commander of the imperial guards of the palace, he cannot be killed."
"If I can't find my wife and children, I will kill them no matter what kind of royal relatives they are. Or have you changed your profession and started to cheat people after not seeing you for a few years?"
Gu Sanhe had no words to express his pain, but being misunderstood like this made him blurt out in anger: "You are my son, and Yuming is my grandson. Why would I steal from anyone else but my own family?"
"What did you say?"
The man lowered his head in shame, looked directly at Xiao Zhuoxuan and said, "Child, whether you admit it or not, I am your biological father, but I really did not steal the child."
Xiao Zhuoxuan was startled and stared at Gu Sanhe with wide eyes, with waves of anger in his heart: he would rather his father was that short-lived ghost than Gu Sanhe who had been arguing with Huang Li'niang all his life!
The grudge between the two of them made his youth uneasy, but they shouldn't have involved his family in this grudge. It was too much!
"Son, I am ashamed of my father."
"Shut up!"
He looked at Ye Qi and asked, "Why are you sneaking around my house? I'm afraid you are in cahoots with that thief. I'm going to kill you first to vent my anger!"
Xiao Zhuoxuan was about to kill Ye Qi when Gu Sanhe suddenly stood in front of him. He shouted angrily, "Get out of the way!"
"Zhuo Xuan, don't act on impulse!"
"Gu Sanhe!"
"Your wife poisoned us. If we have to die, we must die in a clean way. We were wronged."
"You..." Xiao Zhuoxuan gasped for air, his eyes tearing open, and said sternly, "Your hands and feet had better be clean, otherwise I won't let you go. Which direction did my wife go?"
"Towards the west gate."
Xiao Zhuoxuan also disappeared soon. Gu Sanhe felt incredible. This couple hid themselves so well.
"Master Gu, can you please untie Ye Qi?"
"Master Ye Qi, did you kidnap my grandson?"
