The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Su Qianqian brought the big white dog to the room where Xiaobao stayed last night.

Fortunately, they arrived in time; the maid hadn't finished cleaning the room yet.

Su Qianqian stopped the maid who was about to change the bed sheets, "Wait a minute, this room doesn't need to be cleaned yet."

After the maid left, Su Qianqian released another large black dog from her spatial storage.

She picked up the light blue bed sheet and let the two dogs smell it for a while. "Xiaoxue, Xiaohei, you two must find Xiaobao. Whoever finds him will be rewarded with a peach."

The two dogs barked a few times and then ran away.

Su Qianqian left the room and instructed Mo Xiaobei, "Have someone follow Xiaoxue and Xiaohei."

"Yes, young lady."

At this moment, Gong Yu also came over, held Su Qianqian's trembling hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. I will definitely bring Xiaobao back safely."

After a brief discussion, the two concluded that the thief's decision not to kill Xiaobao on the spot but to abduct him meant they were definitely planning to negotiate.

The two men were right; the extortion letter was delivered just as they reached the main gate of the plum garden.

The gatekeeper seized the little beggar who had delivered the message. "Quickly, tell me, what does the person who sent you look like?"

The little beggar, his shoulders gripped, was quite frightened. He quickly confessed, "The person who sent me the message had his face covered with a black cloth, so I couldn't recognize him. He gave me two coins as payment."

The little beggar was so frightened that he threw the two coins in his palm onto the ground.

Su Qianqian instructed, "Release the little beggar."

Many people are afraid of revealing their identities, so they like to ask little beggars to help deliver messages. Those who kidnapped Xiaobao would definitely not expose themselves in front of little beggars. Detaining them would be useless, so there is no need to waste energy on a little beggar.

Su Qianqian read the letter over. It was unsigned and only instructed that 500,000 taels of general silver notes from Yongsheng Money Shop be placed under the shrine in the dilapidated temple in the west of the city.

Gong Yu instructed Su Qianqian, "I'm going back to the room to get the silver notes. Wait for me here and don't leave alone."

Just after Gong Yu left, Gou Dan arrived with Dong Yong.

The two also brought a large yellow dog, which Su Qianqian had given to the Ministry of Justice before.

This big yellow dog is very capable; it has helped the Ministry of Justice solve many major cases.

Upon hearing the news, Dong Yong came over with Gou Dan.

Miss Su helped his son Dong Zhu obtain an official position, making her a benefactor to the Dong family. Therefore, if Miss Su's family were in trouble, he would definitely help them immediately.

"Miss Su, Gou Dan and I have brought ten brothers with us. Please feel free to give us your orders."

Gong Yu quickly came over with the silver notes.

Su Qianqian decided to split up into two groups.

"Brother Gong, they might not release the people even after they've taken the money. They might even kill them. Go to the dilapidated temple in the west of the city to deliver the ransom. Lord Dong and I will go together to find out who wrote this letter."

Su Qianqian handed the letter to the big yellow dog to sniff, and then she, Gou Dan, and Dong Yong chased after the big yellow dog and left.

Inside the Four Directions Pavilion, the Seventh Prince was enjoying a drink in a pleasant mood.

The person was kidnapped by the Blood Fiend Alliance, and the letter was written by the Seventh Prince's subordinates, but he had already killed the letter writer, so he was certain that Su Qianqian could not trace it back to him.

Once the ransom is received, they will be sent back to the Southern Yue Kingdom, which is currently experiencing severe flooding and desperately needs money for disaster relief.

As for Su Xiaobao, he naturally had to be killed.

The Seventh Prince has already sent people to contact the Blood Fiend Sect. Once the child is transferred to their own people, they will kill the child.

In the east room of the Sifang Pavilion, the Western Xia State Preceptor was paying respects to Empress Ji Wu.

"Your Majesty, Miss Su's younger brother was abducted by masked men in the street this morning. I plan to go and help find him."

The Western Xia Grand Preceptor cherished this rare opportunity, because he could earn free peaches again.

Miss Su's younger brother must be very important to her. If she helps find him, she might give him a hundred or two peaches.

One peach can extend his life by almost a month; a hundred or two hundred peaches could extend his life by several years.

People on the verge of death have a much stronger will to live than ordinary people, and the Imperial Advisor was extremely eager to rescue Miss Su's younger brother.

Ji Wu was very worried that if Miss Su's brother was killed by the kidnappers, Miss Su might be in a bad mood and unwilling to continue treating her face.

"Alright, Imperial Advisor, take fifty guards and go search together. More people means more strength."

Su Qianqian followed the big yellow dog all the way to the Sifang Pavilion.

The big yellow dog rushed into the Seventh Prince's residence and barked incessantly at the prince, who was drinking, "Woof woof woof—"

The Seventh Prince was quite surprised to see Su Qianqian enter with a large group of people.

He had already killed the person who wrote the letter and disposed of the body, burying it several meters deep in the ground. Why was Su Qianqian still able to find this place?

Actually, although the letter wasn't written by the Seventh Prince, he picked it up and looked at it before sending it out, and then the big yellow dog found it by following the scent.

The Seventh Prince preemptively rebuked her, saying sternly, "Miss Su, what are you doing? Bringing so many people here, are you here to cause trouble? You've damaged diplomatic relations between our two countries; can you bear the consequences?"

Su Qianqian held up the extortion letter in her hand. "Seventh Prince, did you write this letter?"

"No, if you don't believe me, I can write a letter right now and let you verify the handwriting."

Su Qianqian knew that the Seventh Prince had a particularly bad temper, and if this matter had nothing to do with him, he would never have agreed to compare the handwriting.

His agreement further proves that the Seventh Prince is involved in this matter, and that the person who wrote the letter is definitely not the Seventh Prince himself.

She guessed that the extortion letter was most likely written by one of the Seventh Prince's men.

Time is life and cannot be wasted. Su Qianqian immediately held down the Seventh Prince and tied him up along with the two eunuchs in the room.

She wanted to torture the Seventh Prince severely to find out where Xiao Bao was hiding as soon as possible.

Su Qianqian took out a gleaming dagger and pressed it against the Seventh Prince's face.

"They say a person who is disfigured cannot be an emperor. You better tell me where Xiaobao is, or I'll use this dagger to slash your face."

"Su Qianqian, you poisonous woman, I will not let you get away with this."

Su Qianqian was surprised that even with a knife pointed at his face, the Seventh Prince was still not afraid.

"I don't care whether you wrote it or not, you definitely touched this extortion letter before it was delivered to Meiyuan. If my brother is killed, you will pay for my brother's life."

The reason why the Seventh Prince was not afraid was that he had brought more than two hundred guards from Nan Yue, all of whom lived next to the Sifang Pavilion. Now that the commotion was so big, he estimated that his guards would be arriving soon.

Moreover, the Seventh Prince believed that even if Miss Su had ten thousand lives, she wouldn't dare to kill him.

Because the emperor of the Great Qi treated foreigners like his own father, he would never allow anyone to kill him within the territory of the Great Qi.

The Seventh Prince's men arrived quickly, and several hundred of them surrounded the house, making it impossible to get through.

When the Seventh Prince saw the Southern Yue guards arrive, he became even more arrogant, revealing a strange smile on his face, a smile that looked like that of a madman.

"Miss Su, your brother is doomed."
