Smuggling Daming

Zhou Zhong left in a hurry that day, and there was no news in the next two days. It seemed that the Chinese New Year was about to come, but Zhou Zhong was still missing. Steward Xu was going to report to the government, but he was stopped by someone just after leaving the mansion, and they finally learned some information about Zhou Zhong.

"Aunt Wang, that's how things are. The young master took over the master's business and offended some people in the business. The young master went out in a hurry that day. Although he didn't tell us much, I think it should be to deal with this trouble, but we don't Do you know where the young master has gone?" Wangcai and Fugui knelt in the hall with dejected expressions on their faces, and behind them, the dozen or so guards who came with them also knelt on the ground.

After receiving Zhou Zhong's order, they have been doing their best to protect the Zhou mansion, but two days have passed, and Zhou Zhong who went out alone has no news, which makes Wangcai and Fugui very anxious.Just at this time, Butler Xu was going to report to the officials. They knew that Zhou Zhong didn't want too many people to know about his involvement in smuggling, so this matter must not be exposed to the government, so they stopped Butler Xu. Then he went into the mansion and told all about Zhou Zhong in Shuangyu Port.

"This...how is this possible? How could Chong'er give up his status as a scholar and take over his father's business?" Aunt Wang said with tears streaming down her face. In her opinion, Zhou Zhong was a talented child. It is also the hope of the Zhou family, as long as he can be admitted to Juren, then the Zhou family can be honored, but now Zhou Zhong has given up his great future.But she chose a road full of risks, which made her really unacceptable.

The bracelet next to Aunt Wang is almost in the same mood, but she thinks more than Aunt Wang, because in her opinion, brother must not want his family to suffer with him, so he followed his father's old path and risked his life Dangerously involved in smuggling in exchange for a lot of wealth, but now something happened to my brother.This made Zhuan'er extremely sad, and Bai Junwan, who was lying beside her, burst into tears.

Sisters Bai Junwan and Bai Mengwan were also present. They also did not expect that before, they wanted to find help from smugglers to smuggle overseas. As a result, they searched the port for many days but failed to find anyone willing to let them board.But he didn't expect that there was a living smuggler beside him.

Compared with the grief of Aunt Wang and Bracelet, Steward Xu finally showed the demeanor of a general manager at this time, and he stood up and said to Wangcai and Fugui: "You said that our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and Xie's Chamber of Commerce are leaving now. It’s very close, and they teamed up to kill a few opponents before, so now that the young master is missing, the Xie family should know something about it, right?”

"We have already sent someone to notify the chamber of commerce. Sanniang and Uncle Tuo should ask the Xie family, but we found out that the fleet schedule of the Xie family at the port is also very abnormal these two days, so Steward Xu you The guess should be very reasonable." Wangcai and Fugui are not stupid, and they also guessed that Zhou Zhong's disappearance was related to the Xie family, so they also made a lot of preparations in the past two days, just because the time is too short, now I can't see any big reaction from the Xie family.

"Xie's family? Is it sister Lingyun's family?" Bracelet suddenly asked.

"Yes, Miss. The Xie family is one of the four major smuggling chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Port, and they are very powerful. Even in the heyday of our Nanyang chamber of commerce, we were only on par with the Xie family." Wangcai immediately reported.

When Zhuaner heard that it was indeed Xie Lingyun's family, she pondered for a moment, and immediately said to Butler Xu: "Butler Xu, do you think this is good? I will go to see Xie Lingyun in my private capacity, maybe I can find out what's the situation?"

Hearing Bracelet's words, Steward Xu was also very tempted, but this family is now headed by Aunt Wang, so he had to look at Aunt Wang.Aunt Wang pondered for a while after hearing this, but she still couldn't make up her mind and said: "I don't know if Chong'er is alive or dead now, if this matter is related to Xie's family, if Zhuang'er goes to them at this time, will there be any harm?" Danger?"

Hearing what her mother said, Zhuo'er was very anxious. In order to get news from her brother, she was willing to take no matter how big the risk was.But at this moment, Bai Mengwan and her elder sister Bai Junwan looked at each other, and then Bai Mengwan stood up and said: "Aunt Wang, if you are worried about sister Zhuan'er, why don't I go with her, and then I will dress up as a maid and come It’s good to have someone to take care of you.”

"This..." Aunt Wang heard that Bai Mengwan, an outsider, was willing to help, which made it difficult for her to refuse, and she really wanted to know Zhou Zhong's situation, so she finally nodded and said: "Okay, Steward Xu, go rent a car, and send Bracelet and Mengwan to visit Xie's mansion in an open and aboveboard manner."

Seeing that her mother finally agreed, Zhuo'er finally felt relieved, she and Bai Mengwan went to change their clothes, and then headed towards Xie's mansion in the carriage driven by Steward Xu himself.

At this moment, in the hall of Xie's house in Songjiang City, a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s was walking back and forth anxiously.I saw that this middle-aged man was not tall, with a square face and phoenix eyes, and his appearance was very dignified, but at this moment his two thick eyebrows were tightly frowned, as if he was in infinite distress.

Just as this majestic middle-aged man was walking back and forth, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then the ordinary-looking Aunt Shui walked in quickly and reported to him: "Master, the four we sent out The fleet has returned two teams, but none of them found any trace of the lady!"

"Idiots! They are all idiots! We Xie's family raised you for what to eat. You have been missing for two days now, but you haven't even been found. What's the use of me raising you!" I saw this middle-aged man. After hearing Aunt Shui's report, the man was so angry that he slapped the table and yelled at her.This middle-aged man is none other than Xie Da, Xie Lingyun's father.

"My servant is ineffective, please punish me!" It was the first time Aunt Shui saw Xie Da get so angry, plus she watched the young lady being taken away by Shangquan Honger, so it can be said that she will bear the main responsibility Therefore, at this moment, he knelt down in fright, not daring to look at Xie Da again.

"Punish you? Will punishing you bring Ling Yun back? If you don't send me more people to look for her, if you can't find anyone, you will all die at sea!" Xie Da roared again.He only has a daughter like Xie Lingyun. Although he is usually very strict with her, in his heart, he loves this sensible and well-behaved daughter the most. Thinking of the possible abuse that his daughter may suffer now makes him feel like a knife is twisting his heart.

After hearing her master's roar, Aunt Shui didn't dare to say anything anymore, she stood up and turned around to urge her subordinates to look for Miss.But Xie Da still felt distraught, walking up and down the living room by himself, unable to sit down at all.

After a while like this, there was another sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then a servant timidly walked in and reported: "My lord, the eldest lady of the Zhou family is visiting outside, saying that she wants to visit the lady!"

"No, tell the people outside that if anyone asks about Lingyun, I will kick them all out!" Xie Da heard that someone came to visit his daughter who didn't know if he was alive or not, and it made him even more angry lofty.

"Yes, my little one obeys!" The servant promised, turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment Xie Da finally came to his senses, stopped the other party immediately and said: "Wait, the eldest lady of the Zhou residence you are talking about is Zhou Hai's daughter ?”

"Master, it's that Miss Zhou!" The servant replied as he said.

Xie Da heard that the other party was Zhou Zhong's younger sister, and now he finally didn't dare to let the servant drive her away in a rough way. He thought about it for a moment, and then told the servant: "Go and tell Miss Zhou, just say Your young lady has been staying overseas and hasn't come back, so please ask her to visit again another day, and your tone must be more polite, and don't show any flaws!"

"Yes, master!" The servant promised, turned and left, and Xie Da also calmed down at this time, sitting in the hall and meditating, he was thinking about what the Xie family should do in case of the worst possible situation. situation encountered.

Bracelet and Bai Mengwan outside the mansion waited anxiously for Xie Lingyun's response, but what they didn't expect was that Xie's mansion actually said that Xie Lingyun was not there and hoped they would come back another day, which made Bracelet very disappointed.The shrewd housekeeper Xu also proposed to meet the head of the Xie family, but unfortunately he was also declined.

I didn't get any useful news from Xie's family, and I didn't even see Xie Lingyun's face, which made Zhuan'er even more anxious. On the way back, I cried again, and when I returned home, I cried again with Aunt Wang. Fan.Zhou Zhong is the only man in the family, and also the backbone of the family. His disappearance is tantamount to a catastrophe for the Zhou family. Fortunately, there are housekeeper Xu's help inside and outside, and the comfort of the Bai sisters. That's why Aunt Wang and Bracelet didn't do anything stupid.

This year is destined to be an extraordinary year. When other families are immersed in the lively and joyful atmosphere of the new year, the Xie Mansion and Zhou Mansion are in bleakness. When the year is over, there is still no news from Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun. And now five or six days have passed since they disappeared, and many people have even begun to speculate that Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun may have encountered misfortune, but no one dared to say it.

Compared with the bleakness of Zhou Mansion and Xie Mansion, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun's life on the deserted island is not easy. Although they have solved the problems of water source, food and housing, the harsh natural environment on the island is far beyond their experience. Imagine, for example, just tonight, the small island where they live finally ushered in an unprecedented storm. This is undoubtedly a huge risk and challenge for Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun on the island. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
