The immortal of the Tang Dynasty, but the game starts at Xuanwu Gate?

"Sir...Sir, you've made a mistake, you've really made a mistake. We are good people, good citizens!"

Old Huang pleaded desperately.

Huang Lao Er also cried and pleaded, "Sir, we have elderly parents to support and young children to raise. Please, have mercy on us."

The leader, a military commander, didn't bother listening to this nonsense and coldly said, "Stop talking nonsense and come with us. If you are truly innocent, no one has harmed you!"

"take away!"

"yes!"

The remaining Wuhou went over with his knife, and the three brothers turned pale, not daring to resist.

"Useless trash, can't even walk!"

One of the generals cursed angrily and prepared to help the three brothers leave with his colleagues. Just then, the generals suddenly noticed that each of the three brothers was carrying a rather large bag.

When I tore it open, my eyes widened in disbelief.

"Money, it's money!"

Upon closer inspection, the leader, a military officer, saw that it was a full ten strings of cash, and his suspicions immediately reached their peak!

How come three seemingly shady people are carrying so much money?

Ten strings of cash is no small sum.

"take away!"

The leader, Wu Hou, was so excited that he quickly brought the three Huang brothers, whose faces were ashen, to the city gate so that the disaster victims who had come today could recognize them.

"That's right, it's them! They're the ones who kidnapped...that young lady's mother!"

Upon inquiry, someone immediately stepped forward and identified the culprit!

The generals were all excited. They had actually found the three brothers. This was a great achievement!

One of the guards stepped forward and kicked him, shouting, "Tell me quickly, where did you take him?!"

Upon seeing this, the leader, Marquis Wu, became anxious and stepped forward to rebuke his subordinate: "What are you asking? Is this something you should be asking? Is this something you should be knowing?"

"Take him away, take him away right now!"

The reprimanded Wu Hou was completely puzzled, not understanding why he had been wrong to ask about Chen Su Jin's whereabouts.

Aren't we all looking for someone?

The leader, Marquis Wu, did not rush to explain. He escorted the three brothers, whose faces were deathly pale, to the Duke of Anguo's mansion as quickly as possible.

The difference between making a good deed and causing disaster often lies in a single thought!

Originally, the three brothers were just like the refugees. They kidnapped the man, but now the man is gone, and they have ten strings of cash on them.

Do we even need to ask them what they did?

They absolutely sold them out!

Who was sold? The only living relative of the Duke of Anguo!

No matter where he was sold, it was something that Duke Anguo absolutely could not tolerate and could not let anyone know!

Therefore, the best approach is to find the person, ask no questions, and then send them there.

This is a great achievement.

If you ask too many questions, your great achievement will turn into a great disaster in an instant!

"Sir...Sir...Where are you taking me?" Old Huang asked in a trembling voice, completely bewildered as to why tying up a beggar would cause such a commotion.

Even breaking through the Heavenly Palace wouldn't be this bad, would it?

The Marquis coldly replied, "Don't ask so many questions; you'll find out when we get there!"

"..."

"Yunyan, take Xiaohe to wash up, and send someone out to buy the best clothes!"

Chen Huai'an carried Xiao He home and immediately called Yunyan over to give her instructions.

"Yes, sir!" Yunyan replied repeatedly. She had already heard about what happened today and knew that this was the niece that the man had been looking for.

"Young lady, come with me," Yunyan said gently to Xiaohe in Chen Huai'an's arms.

Xiao He was a little scared, and her little hands unconsciously clung tightly to Chen Huai'an's neck. The latter rubbed her head and said, "Xiao He, be good. Go with Yunyan and get all clean. Your uncle will go and fetch your mother!"

"When your mother comes back, you'll see a fair-skinned and beautiful little He."

Yunyan couldn't help but lower her head; she had never seen such a gentle man before.

"Really...really?" Xiao He seemed flustered, glancing timidly at Yunyan, only thinking that the older sister in front of her was very beautiful.

She also referred to herself as "little lady".

"Of course it's true, why would Uncle lie to Xiaohe?" Chen Huai'an said gently.

Xiao He was very sensible and stopped clinging to Chen Huai'an. She obediently let Yunyan carry her away.

As soon as she left, Chen Huai'an's gentle expression vanished, replaced by icy coldness: "Any news?"

Wang Bai hurriedly said, "Sir, we're still searching. There are many people searching outside. I've repeatedly told them to hurry."

"Hmm!" Chen Huai'an slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, not as anxious as Wang Bai had imagined.

Wang Bai hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, why don't we just issue a reward and spend a lot of money to find out more?"

"Many powerful people outside are looking for Madam Chen. If they find her, they might use her to blackmail you, sir."

He originally intended to address her as Madam Chen, but then remembered why Chen Sujin had run away, and quickly changed his address.

In the Tang Dynasty, "Niangzi" was an honorific title for a noblewoman. Based on the ranking, it would be appropriate to call Chen Sujin "Chen Da Niangzi".

"Need not!"

Chen Huai'an closed his eyes, forcing back his trembling hands: "They wouldn't be that stupid, and everyone wants me to find my sister safely."

With family comes a vulnerability, and he is no longer the Duke of Anguo who could always say he was all alone!

Various factions would help him find people, hoping to gain more benefits from him. Li Shimin would also help him find his sister.

He needed Chen Huai'an to have a weakness, and more importantly, he needed to use this to offset some of Chen Huai'an's achievements.

Only those who truly understand can comprehend the magnitude of Chen Huai'an's contributions; everything he produced and did had a profound impact.

Therefore, he faced little resistance in being granted the title of Duke and concurrently held the positions of Minister of two ministries. Although others had reservations, he accepted the position.

It is precisely because of these various reasons that the kidnapping of Chen Sujin has caused such a huge commotion.

Chen Huai'an was anxious, but he knew even more clearly that his anxiety was useless. If he couldn't even find Li Shimin's government or the powerful families that had been operating in Chang'an for many years, then no matter how he searched, it would be in vain!

Time passed slowly in anxious waiting.

Soon, a servant came to report.

"My lord, a team of military officers has arrived, saying they've found the three Huang brothers!"

Chen Huai'an immediately opened his eyes: "Where?!"

"Right outside the main hall..."

Before the servant could finish speaking, Chen Huai'an had already gotten up and rushed out, with Wang Bai hurriedly following.

"Your subordinate Yuan Wei greets Duke Anguo!" The leading Martial Marquis Yuan Wei hurriedly bowed.

Chen Huai paused for a moment, nodded to him, and then could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

Amidst the terrified gazes of the three Huang brothers, he slapped them with all his might. In an instant, the air was torn apart by the immense force, producing a piercing whistling sound.

"boom--"

Old Huang flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the courtyard wall and falling silent.

Wang Bai, who had just followed, suddenly stopped, only to feel a few warm specks splashed on his face. He raised his hand to touch it and saw the red and white color on his fingertips. His stomach churned instantly, and he covered his mouth and quickly retreated to the side to dry heave.

The group of military commanders were also terrified, their faces turning pale. They lowered their heads and retreated, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Chen Huai'an seemed not to hear, and without stopping, he walked up to Huang Lao Er, grabbed the man's hair, and with a little force, lifted the limp man up.

He tilted his head slightly, a chilling smile curving his lips: "Tell me, where did you take Chen Sujin?"

"..."
