Chapter 26 Captured
The nanny who was holding the child was so frightened when she heard the angry shouting, but she quickly pretended to be calm, quickened her pace and continued walking forward.
"It's you who dared to run away!"
Gu Qingzhang stepped forward and quickly restrained her. Seeing that the nanny was being captured, people on the side stepped forward to watch the fun.
The nanny rolled her eyes, hugged the child and cried: "Masters, this is really unfair! I just wanted to take the child to find the owner, how could I become a human trafficker?"
She looked to be in her forties or fifties, and she was a weak-handed woman. When the onlookers heard this, their expressions became hesitant, and they whispered whether Gu Qingzhang had arrested the wrong person.
Lin Chonghan came over, she pointed at the child and said: "You said you are the child's nanny, but the weather has not warmed up yet. A nanny will never be so careless as to leave the young master's ankles exposed."
Everyone took a closer look and saw that the young master's ankles were indeed exposed.
"Besides, the noise just now must have been quite loud," Lin Chonghan continued, "The child Jue Qian, why did he not wake up despite such a loud noise?"
The nanny's face changed suddenly when she said that.
A girl in the crowd suddenly realized it and exclaimed: "She must have been drugged with sweat medicine!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the nanny gritted her teeth and was ready to run away with the child in her arms!
Seeing her like this, Lin Chonghan was not in a hurry. She looked coldly at the nanny before she took a few steps and was directly detained by Gu Qingzhang.
Lin Chonghan stepped forward. The child who had been drugged with sweat medicine was unconscious and sleeping soundly. He had a small face carved with pink and jade, and there was a red mole between his eyebrows, like a doll in a New Year painting.
Lin Chonghan was slightly startled. She glanced at Gu Qingzhang, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I should know this child. He is the eldest grandson of Xu Guogong's family."
If we had to trace this incident back, it wasn't that long ago. After all, she had just attended the child's first birthday party years ago and didn't want to meet him here.
Since only the two of them came out and there were no servants around, Lin Chonghan motioned to Gu Qingzhang to hold the child. She also asked everyone to stay where they were to wait to prevent the kidnapper from escaping.
Children are the lifeblood of a family, and it is difficult to support them. If we encounter a kidnapper again, the consequences will be unimaginable, and there is no reason why we should not respond.
"Princess Princess?"
Lin Chonghan heard someone calling him, raised his head in confusion, and met Lu Tingxuan's eyes with a surprised look on his face.
Lu Tingxuan squeezed out from the crowd and smiled shyly: "I didn't expect that the princess would also come here to play. What a coincidence."
The moment he saw him, Lin Chonghan suddenly felt bad.
Sure enough, Gu Qingzhang, who was holding the child in his arms, started to think that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes. He snorted coldly: "If I had known he was coming, I wouldn't have come!"
This was said with so much jealousy that Lin Chonghan couldn't help laughing.
Lu Tingxuan was a serious scholar. He didn't expect that Gu Qingzhang could say this, and he was stunned. However, the meaning behind Lin Chonghan being able to hang out with him at the Flower Festival is self-evident.
Lu Tingxuan's eyes darkened, but he still cheered up and continued to chat: "The princess was really smart just now and could easily see through the villain's plan."
"I just don't know who this dear friend is -?"
Gu Qingzhang replied: "Gu Qingzhang, Marquis of Ning'an."
He was holding a baby, but his aura did not diminish at all, and his stern eyebrows only softened when he looked at Lin Chonghan.
As soon as Lu Tingxuan introduced himself, he had to salute the other party: "Lu Tingxuan of the San Qin Mansion has met the Marquis."
Gu Qingzhang came from a martial arts family, and Lin Chonghan didn't want him to offend the literati, so he asked politely, asking Lu Tingxuan to report to Jing Zhaoyin, while he and Gu Qingzhang stayed here to wait for the child's family.
Lu Tingxuan also hated kidnappers, so of course he did not refuse.
Soon after Lu Tingxuan left, people from Xu Guogong's family hurried over.
He knew Lin Chonghan, the eldest daughter-in-law of his family. When she found her, her hair was all messed up and her face was pale, as if she was going to faint in the next second.
After seeing her intact son in Gu Qingzhang's arms, she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to collapse.
Lin Chonghan hurriedly stepped forward to support her to prevent her from losing etiquette in public. Unexpectedly, the other party grabbed her hand tightly and choked with sobs: "What happened today... I really want to thank you, Princess. If it weren't for you, if it weren't for you,
——Then I really don’t know what to do!”
Obviously the other party also knew that his son might have been abducted by a kidnapper.
"You're welcome," Lin Chonghan sighed inwardly, "The kidnapper is really disgusting. I would rather catch him by mistake than let him go."
Seeing that the child's mother was still sobbing, she took the initiative to change the subject: "This kidnapper seems to have taken a lot of sweat medicine. Do you think you should take it home and find a doctor to look at him?"
The other party reacted quickly and nodded with tears in his eyes: "Thank you very much, princess. I will take the children back first. I will send a message to the princess another day to thank you."
Lin Chonghan nodded, and Gua Er also brought Lin Wushuang over at this time. Gu Qingzhang asked Gua Er to tie the crutch with a rope and prepare to take it to the government for trial later.
Everyone saw that a child had been rescued from a kidnapper, especially since the child belonged to a Marquis family. They all expressed their admiration for the honor. After hearing that Lin Chonghan was the princess, they even praised the princess for her intelligence.
Lin Chonghan's ears turned red from the praise, and he tugged on Gu Qingzhang's sleeves, trying to leave quietly with him.
After walking away, Gu Qingzhang's eyes were filled with smiles, and he joked: "The princess is so majestic. She solved a case with just a raise of her hand."
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chonghan sneezed heavily. After sneezing, his nose turned red, which was really pitiful.
Gu Qingzhang stopped smiling. He quickly took off his robe and put it on her body, saying, "It seems that there are indeed signs of cold. This is not good. I have to let the doctor take a look."
Gu Qingzhang's robe was thick, just enough to protect her from the wind.
Lin Chonghan was wearing his outer robe, but the topic went in another direction: "I always feel that this kidnapper has a gang. What do you think it means that she just wanted to escape from the crowd and rush out of the crowd?"
"It means there is someone outside to help him," Gu Qingzhang was not a fool, and she was able to figure it out. "And the carriage was ready. He just waited for the children to get on the carriage and fled."
By that time, no matter how anxious the people in Duke Xu's mansion were, there would be nothing they could do.
Lin Chonghan nodded: "The kidnapper is evil, so we should let the people from the Yamen put him on trial."
When the group of people arrived at the government office, Lu Tingxuan was standing in the hall with a face full of embarrassment, while two men were kneeling in the courtroom arguing.
Lin Chonghan took a few steps forward and realized what was happening: It turned out that two people had a conflict while performing on the street, fought on the street, and were taken to the Yamen.
In the court, in front of their parents, the two people quarreled even more fiercely.
"I can earn a few coins by training my dog, why am I bothering you?"
"You stole the audience away," another man with a scar on his face sneered, "no one else is willing to watch our performance."
The dog trainer cried out: "Business is fair competition. If you can't retain people, why do you rely on me?!"
Listening to the argument between the two, it is true that the scarred man is too pushy. You can't allow others to set up stalls and perform arts because of their outstanding skills, right?
