Chapter 180 Kidnapped
Xu Yingying was slightly stunned after hearing this, then replied with a smile, "Brother Rao is a very good person! He is righteous and considerate of the people. He is a very good person!"
Rao Qingji nodded after listening, "That's fine. Brother Xu, I have something else to do so I have to leave first."
Xu Yingying nodded after listening, "Okay, then Brother Rao, you go and get busy!"
"Okay." Rao Qingji said and turned to leave.
Xu Yingying pretended to leave, but before she took a few steps, she was stopped by a group of people.
Xu Yingying's alarm bells immediately rang, "Who are you? What are you doing? Why are you stopping me?"
The leading man showed a mysterious smile and said, "My boss said that you will not be allowed to leave here today. Please come back with us and have dinner."
Xu Yingying was stunned after hearing this. She immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and subconsciously prepared to escape.
But before she took a few steps, she was stopped by the other party, and at this critical moment, Rao Qingji appeared.
Xu Yingying's face lit up when she saw Rao Qingji, "Brother Rao, please save me."
The next second, Rao Qingji's words shocked Xu Yingying extremely.
"Why save you? I sent these people to catch you. If I'm not mistaken, Brother Xu is from Chaotianli, right? Why did you hide your identity and approach me? What is your hidden purpose towards me?"
Rao Qingji looked at Xu Yingying and questioned.
Xu Yingying was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that she would be exposed so quickly.
"Brother Rao, I do have my own difficulties. I can explain them to you." Xu Yingying struggled.
But Rao Qingji didn't buy her trick. Instead, he said calmly, "I won't talk to you anymore. I'll talk to the person behind you!"
"Come here, lock her up for me, take good care of her with good food and drink, and don't use lynching on her. But you must keep a close eye on her and don't let her run away. If she runs away, you'll have to watch out for your heads." Rao Qingji ordered his men.
"Yes, boss."
In this way, Xu Yingying was taken to an unknown room by Rao Qingji's men and locked up.
After doing all this, Rao Qingji did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, he decided to take the initiative since he had Xu Yingying as a bargaining chip. So he asked his men to spread the news that he had captured Xu Yingying, and asked Xu Yingying's personal master to redeem her.
In the mansion.
Li Siqi's face immediately turned pale when he heard the news, "What? Are you saying that Xu Yingying was captured by Rao Qingji?"
The subordinate kneeling on the ground trembled and said, "Yes, Your Highness. The other party has also made it known that you should personally talk to him about the refugee security."
Li Siqi heard this without any hesitation, "Okay, I'll go."
Li Siqi immediately rushed to the place agreed upon by both parties, and Rao Qingji seemed to have been waiting there for a while.
"It seems that Master Rao is so smart that he seems to be sure that my Highness will come today?" Li Siqi raised his eyebrows and said to him.
Rao Qingji shook his head and explained with a smile: "It's not that I have a brilliant plan, it's just that I am sure of the position of Lord Xu in His Highness' heart."
"Then why did you go through so much trouble to lure me out here? What do you want to ask for?" Li Siqi was too lazy to waste time talking to him and asked directly to the point.
"What big wish can a commoner have? I just hope that Your Highness can treat the refugees well." Rao Qingji said lightly.
Li Siqi was slightly stunned when he heard this. He did not expect Rao Qingji's request to be so simple.
"I would have done it without you telling me. I'm here specifically to help the refugees, so I will naturally give them preferential treatment." Li Siqi said without hesitation.
Rao Qingji didn't expect Li Siqi to answer like this. He thought about what Xu Yingying had done during the days she was with him. Although Xu Yingying had her own purposes, she had never harmed anyone else.
When he thought of this, Rao Qingji felt that Li Siqi's answer didn't seem so surprising.
Rao Qingji waved his hand and said, "Just your words are enough. I hope that a gentleman's words are as good as his words. You can do what you say."
"Don't worry, I can definitely do it." Li Siqi vowed.
"Hurry up and release Xu Yingying." Rao Qingji ordered his men.
In this way, Xu Yingying was released by Rao Qingji's men.
As soon as Li Siqi saw Xu Yingying, he ran over quickly.
"Are you okay?" Li Siqi asked with concern.
"No! They just locked me up and didn't do anything else to me. They even treated me to good food and drink." Xu Yingying gave Li Siqi a comforting smile.
After confirming that Xu Yingying was fine and returned safely, Li Siqi immediately put his heart at ease.
In this way, the two returned to the mansion safely.
Of course, the news of Xu Yingying’s kidnapping also spread.
In the inn.
The subordinates told Li Siming what happened today.
"Are you serious?" Li Siming immediately became interested when he heard it.
"Of course, even if you have ten timid people, you wouldn't dare to deceive His Highness!"
The servant replied very respectfully.
Li Siming nodded, and then fell into deep thought.
Since Rao Qingji has the ability to kidnap Xu Yingying, he can easily use him to get rid of Li Siqi!
In this way, he can reap the benefits of the conflict between the two parties. Not only will he solve the problem of the refugee riots, but he will also get rid of Li Siqi, a strong competitor. He can also go back and take credit for it to his royal father.
Isn't it beautiful?
Thinking of this, Li Siming immediately asked his men to arrange a meeting between him and Rao Qingji.
Rao Qingji was also a hero. When he saw someone inviting him to a meeting, he went there without hesitation.
In the teahouse.
Li Siming and Rao Qingji were sitting face to face.
"I wonder what is your purpose in asking me to come here?" Rao Qingji was too lazy to waste time talking to Li Siming and went straight to the point.
Li Siming pretended to be harmless and said, "It's nothing, actually. I just heard that Brother Rao is famous and admired him, so I wanted to meet him."
"Is it that simple?" Rao Qingji asked back with a smile.
"It's that simple." Li Siming replied without blushing or beating his heart.
Rao Qingji had seen a lot of people, so naturally he wouldn't fall for it. He was sure in his heart that Li Siming was definitely not as simple as he seemed, but since Li Siming didn't take the initiative to speak, he would continue to act with Li Siming.
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Li Siming finally couldn't help it.
"Actually, I came to you today because I have something to ask of you. I want you to help me get rid of Li Siming and Xu Yingying, the man you kidnapped that day and the one who came to redeem her."
After Li Siming finished speaking, he took out a thick stack of silver bills from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"If you do a good job on this matter, you will be rewarded generously afterwards." Li Siming looked at Rao Qingji expectantly, thinking that since he had paid so much money, Rao Qingji would definitely be tempted.
