The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 358 Something Big Has Happened (4)
The boy pointed the way, but the person in charge was not familiar with the matter, so he asked the boy to lead the way quickly.Something serious happened, and he spent 100 taels of silver to escape, just to report to the Xiao family.

Just look for Mr. Xiao first.But Mr. Xiao fell asleep, and couldn't wake him up no matter how he screamed.The manager didn't have time to think about why, so he yelled at the boy: "Hurry up, take me to see the young master."

As soon as the steward saw Xiao Minghui, he threw himself on the ground and howled: "Master, it's not good. The mine collapsed, and many people died. The yamen led the officers and soldiers to seal the mine. They said that our Xiao family careless about human life, They also said that our mine abducted good people to become mine slaves. All the people in the mine were arrested, and the little ones managed to escape. Woohoo..."

Xiao Minghui was startled.He originally planned to be two days late, and return to Zhongzhou City after all the affairs in the house were settled.How did you get the news in the blink of an eye?Xiao Minghui barely managed to hold on, "What's going on, let's explain clearly. Why did the officers and soldiers close our mine? Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"Master, this matter is absolutely true. The officers and soldiers sealed off the mine, and now even a mosquito can't even think about flying out of it. It took a lot of effort for the small ones, and it cost hundreds of taels An officer and soldier who was bribed by money escaped to report to the young master. Young master, hurry up and think of a way." The manager burst into tears.

Xiao Minghui kicked him hard, "Since the mine collapsed and another person died, why didn't you report it immediately."

"Master, when the accident happened in the morning, the younger one sent people to report it. But the officers and soldiers guarded outside, and all the people sent out were beaten back. Then the officers and soldiers rushed into the mine and controlled all of us. "The steward roared, venting his inner tension and fear.

Xiao Minghun's face was pale.Conspiracy, this is a naked conspiracy.The mine collapsed, how could the officers and soldiers come so quickly.It is clear that they have been prepared for a long time, and they are sure that something will happen in the mine.In this way, the so-called landslides are also man-made in all likelihood.

Don't panic, absolutely don't panic at this moment.Xiao Minghui stabilized his mind and asked: "The officers and soldiers arrested everyone?"

The steward nodded.

Xiao Minghui asked eagerly: "What did the officers and soldiers say? What does the Yamen mean?"

The officer in charge shook his head, "The officers and soldiers only want to arrest people, arrest them whenever they see them, and don't let anyone go. The people in the yamen said that our mines disregarded human lives, and forced good people to be mine slaves. They also said that we didn't follow the rules, and dared to corrupt the Mo Palace. of silver."

"That's all?" Xiao Minghui's hands were trembling, but at this moment he couldn't fall, he had to hold on.

The steward nodded.Xiao Minghui asked angrily, "Where is the second master? The second master returned to the city yesterday, why didn't you notify the second master in time?"

"Eldest young master, I'm panicking, I don't know if there is someone behind the yamen. The young one dare not enter the city, so I came to find the young master. Young master, you can hurry up and get a charter, or we will all be ruined." .”

"Shut up." Xiao Minghui said with a straight face, "Go, follow me to find the old man."

"I found the little one. The old man fell asleep and couldn't wake him up no matter how he called?"

"How is this possible?" Xiao Minghui obviously didn't believe it.Mr. Xiao has a shallow sleep, and usually doesn't sleep during the day.Even if you really fell asleep, it is impossible not to wake up.

Xiao Minghui took the manager together to find Mr. Xiao.Mr. Xiao really fell asleep, and he didn't respond to how he called.Xiao Minghui came to his senses, someone had done it.Not only did they work on the mine, but the Xiao family's inner house was also not peaceful. Someone was staring at the Xiao family.Xiao Minghui shuddered.Not daring to delay any longer, he called the servant to give orders, and hurried away with the steward.The most important thing now is the matter in the mine, and he has to hurry to deal with the aftermath.

Miao Shouyi stayed by Xiao Maoyun's side, "Mother, Xiao Minghui has already left the house."

"Don't worry about him, he won't come back this time." Xiao Maoyun sneered.

Miao Shouyi asked, "Mother, when will the old man wake up?"

Xiao Maoyun smiled and said: "When the city gate is closed, it is the time when Mr. Xiao wakes up. Shouyi, we have finished what we should do, and it is time to prepare to leave for Jinzhou. Since something happened to Xiao's mansion, we will go back to Jinzhou tomorrow." leave early in the morning."

"Can we leave?" Miao Shouyi asked worriedly.

Xiao Maoyun nodded, and said firmly: "Don't worry, the old man found out after waking up, so naturally he has no time to deal with our family. By the time he suspects us, we will have left Zhongzhou long ago."

"The son obeys mother's arrangement."

The Xiao family is fried.There was an accident in the mine, many people died, the officers and soldiers sealed off the mine, Xiao Minghui had already set out to deal with the aftermath, the old man was unconscious, and the old lady was still angry about what happened before.These news spread throughout the Xiao mansion immediately.

Both Han Shi and Xiao Maoyang were startled, Xiao Maoyang turned around anxiously, shouting what to do.

Xiao Mingyu was relieved.These days, she has been restless in her heart, always feeling that something is about to happen.Before it happened, I kept thinking about this matter in my heart.Now that the matter finally came, Xiao Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief.That's it, the original problem is here.What I didn't understand before now has an explanation.

Although it is still uncertain whether the Wangfu's action against the Xiao family has anything to do with the second room.But Xiao Mingyu can link the recent events to the city.Xiao Mingqi was framed at the birthday banquet, which was not a big deal, but it affected Xiao Minghui's itinerary and prevented Xiao Minghui from returning to the mine in time, which made it easier for someone to tamper with the mine.

Then Xiao Maoyun was poisoned, don't care how it happened, this incident achieved two purposes, making the Xiao family's attention focused on this incident, leaving no time for other things.Secondly, Xiao Minghui's schedule was delayed again, which affected Mr. Xiao's energy.

Besides, it's very strange that Mr. Xiao fell asleep today, someone drugged Mr. Xiao?Who will be the drugger?
Xiao Mingyu suspected Xiao Maoyun, but he denied it in a blink of an eye.The collapse of the Xiao family is not good for Xiao Maoyun.Xiao Maoyun is in the Miao family and still needs the support of the Xiao family.Moreover, Xiao Maoyun's enemies are mainly the old lady Xiao and Xiao Maojie, who have little relationship with the entire Xiao family.

As for the second room, it was nothing more than fishing in troubled waters, hoping to get greater benefits.

Xiao Mingyu stood up, "Father, the most important thing now is to find a way to wake up the old man. For business matters, neither the fifth room nor the fourth room can help, and there is only one Xiao Minghui in the big room. Now there is an urgent need for the old man to sit down and stabilize the matter. Second, this matter is very strange, and the daughter thought that someone would be sent to guard the gates of the various places. Send someone to the East Mansion to check the movement, and ask the second wife of the East Mansion to come over to discuss the matter. They also sent people to keep abreast of the situation of the second uncle, the situation in the mine, and the progress of Xiao Minghui. Finally, they went to the Yamen to find someone close to the Xiao family and asked what was going on. What is the attitude of Bian. I will also contact other families to see if there is any other latest news."
