Old Master Meng looked at this dirty little kid. He appeared to be no more than five years old, with round, big eyes s.h.i.+ning brightly, as if filled with all the innocence and beauty in the world.

Old Master Meng wasn't someone who overflowed with sympathy, but of course, he wasn't a cold-blooded person who would ignore a helpless child either.

In most cases like this, reporting to the authorities would be the most appropriate course of action for him.

Old Master Meng pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you alone? Where is your family?"

The dirty little kid's eyes darted around. He couldn't say anything about his bad brother-in-law, otherwise, what if the old man sent him back to him?

Holding tightly onto the small bundle in his arms, the dirty little kid said earnestly, "I-I'm trying to find my family!"

"Where is your family?" Old Master Meng inquired.

"They're at Tianqiong Academy!" The dirty little kid answered.

He knew JiaoJiao had gone to his bad brother-in-law's academy. His bad brother-in-law thought he didn't know the name of that academy, but humph, it was him who kept the admission letters; did his bad brother-in-law really think he wouldn't know?

It just so happened that Old Master Meng had just visited the vicinity of Tianqiong Academy today and played a game of chess with the scholars of Tianqiong Academy.

Old Master Meng couldn't help but chuckle and asked the little guy, "Tianqiong Academy is in the outer city. Since your family is in the outer city, how did you come to the inner city?"

The dirty little kid's eyes darted around again, "A bad person brought me here!"

That “bad person“ was his bad brother-in-law!

So, he was a kidnapped child. No wonder he was running around the streets so late; he must have just escaped from that person.

Old Master Meng said to the dirty little kid, "Get on the carriage first."

The dirty little kid ran over with his small bundle. He threw the bundle up first and then climbed up with his short legs.

Old Master Meng was amused by his adorable appearance, "What's your name?"

The dirty little kid patted the dust off his body, picked up the small bundle on the carriage's outer board, crawled into the carriage, and said to Old Master Meng, "My name is Jing Kong!"

Old Master Meng said, "Jing Kong, that's a very unique name."

Why did it sound like a Buddhist name?

Little Jing Kong climbed onto the bench next to Old Master Meng and sat down obediently, looking especially well-behaved.

Seeing how Little Jing Kong was completely defenseless towards him, Old Master Meng couldn't help but joke, "Aren't you afraid I might also be a bad person?"

Little Jing Kong shook his head vigorously, just like a tambourine, and said with utmost seriousness, "With your kind and benevolent appearance, your n.o.ble bearing, and your righteousness, how could you possibly be a bad person?"

The highest level of flattery was to praise someone whatever they lacked!

To be honest, Old Master Meng didn't look kind and benevolent at all, nor did he have a n.o.ble bearing. His appearance was that of a very ordinary old man.

But the old man's carriage looked very expensive; a bad person who kidnapped children couldn't afford such an expensive carriage!

Old Master Meng was once again amused by Little Jing Kong. Men, even when they reached the age of understanding life, had the same temperament——even though they might appear ordinary, they were always br.i.m.m.i.n.g with self-confidence.

"This little guy has good judgment."

He was indeed the epitome of kindness and righteousness, exuding an air of n.o.bility!

The coachman couldn't bear to watch. Kid, what a black-hearted person you are. Is it really okay for you to praise my master like that? And you, master, do you not have any self-awareness about your appearance?

Old Master Meng asked, "You said your family is at Tianqiong Academy. Is he a student of the academy or—"

Little Jing Kong interjected, "A student!"

Old Master Meng was puzzled, "He’s... a student named JiaoJiao?"

Wasn't that a girl's name? Tianqiong Academy only had male students!

"Ah." Little Jing Kong regretted blurting out earlier and hastily corrected himself, "He's called Liulang, JiaoJiao is her nickname!"

Old Master Meng's lips twitched.

Why would a grown man have such a strange nickname?

After much deliberation, Old Master Meng ultimately decided to send the little fellow to the yamen to be handled by the authorities. However, Tianqiong Academy was in the outer city, and the yamen in the inner city generally didn't handle matters regarding the outer city.

Old Master Meng opened the curtain and instructed the coachman who had already returned to his seat on the outer carriage, "Go to the outer city, Third Huajie Street."

Tianqiong Academy was on Third Huajie Street.

The coachman whispered, "Master, at this hour... Isn't the inner city gate closed?"

"No worries, just let them know the situation and use the pa.s.sage of the Imperial Advisor's Hall."

The influence of the Imperial Advisor's Hall was extraordinary. They have exclusive pa.s.sages at various city gates. Old Master Meng, as a distinguished guest of the Imperial Advisor's Hall, naturally had access to these pa.s.sages in case of emergency.

The coachman drove the carriage to the southern inner city gate, presented Old Master Meng's token, and borrowed the pa.s.sage of the Imperial Advisor's Hall, smoothly leaving the inner city.

The carriage rushed towards the Third Huajie Street

Kids sleep a lot, so Little Jing Kong started to doze off as soon as he got on the carriage. After a while, his little head tilted, and he fell asleep leaning on Old Master Meng's arm.

Old Master Meng gently knocked on the carriage door and said to the coachman, "Slow down, he's asleep."

"Yes." The coachman replied. After traveling a bit more, he asked Old Master Meng, "Master, we're almost at Third Huajie Street. Where in Third Huajie Street are we headed?"

"To the yamen on Third Huajie Street." Old Master Meng said.

This child was abducted, and his family must be extremely worried. Perhaps they had already gone to the yamen to report the case. Sending the child to the yamen now was the most appropriate choice.

Moreover, this child seemed mischievous, and Old Master Meng had a feeling he hadn't told the whole truth.

It was better to leave it to the authorities to handle.

Old Master Meng's decision was sound, but fate had other plans. Unexpectedly, in the usually secure Shengdu, a group of bandits appeared, and Old Master Meng who was traveling in a luxurious carriage without any accompanying guards undoubtedly became the bandits' primary target.

There were ten bandits in total, all masked and wielding large blades, clearly indicating malicious intent.

Seeing the danger, Old Master Meng hastily said to the coachman, "Turn around! Go back!"

But the bandits lying in ambush behind them suddenly emerged, five in total, blocking their retreat.

"If you don't stop the carriage, we’ll shoot!"

The leader of the bandits threatened.

Old Master Meng glanced back through the gap in the curtain. These weren't ordinary bandits; they were desperate criminals. If caught by them, not only would they be robbed, but they would also be silenced permanently.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the s.h.i.+ family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hards.h.i.+p and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When s.h.i.+ Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the s.h.i.+ family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like s.h.i.+ Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

s.h.i.+ Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
