The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 401 The old lady is paralyzed (2)
Xiao Mingyu smiled and stood up, "Father, it's time for us to go to the old lady's place. The first and fourth bedrooms have almost gone out now."

"Yes, I'm going to see the old lady right now. We can't just accept our fate like this. The government wants our lives, and our Xiao family must not stretch out our necks to be chopped off." Xiao Maoyang went out aggressively.

Xiao Mingyu secretly thought, this is not necessarily the case.The government wants to chop off the meat of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family is now a fish on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered.It doesn't work if you don't cut the meat.

Xiao Mingyu insisted on following Xiao Maoyang and Mrs. Han to the old lady's yard.

Seeing the person in Dafang, Tan's eyes were red and swollen, obviously from crying.

Xiao Maoyang didn't care about these, rushed over, and said to the two brothers Xiao Minghui and Xiao Mingzhen: "The government is trying to bring down our Xiao family. You two brothers represent the big house. You must not compromise with the government, you know?"

Xiao Minghui was expressionless and said nothing.Xiao Mingzhen smiled wryly, "Wu Shu, let's discuss this matter later."

Xiao Maoyang snorted coldly, and rushed to Xiao Maoheng's side again, "Fourth brother, what do you mean, is it also a compromise with the government?"

Xiao Maoheng looked around, his eyes were very scattered, and he smiled awkwardly: "Fifth brother, this is a big matter. How can a big matter be decided easily. Besides, the old man can be managed in prison. You are the most beloved son of the old man, don't you Don't you care about the old man? If you disregard the old man's safety for a little money, then how can we be worthy of being sons of men."

What Xiao Maoheng said was high-sounding, Xiao Maoyang sneered again and again, "I didn't see that the fourth brother still has such sentiments."

"Fifth brother was joking. I am the old man's own son. As a son, how can I not care about my father's safety? Fifth brother, I think you are a fool in your studies. If you work hard as an official, you will be happy in the capital city." , why bother to come back to Zhongzhou and follow us to be afraid. Just like big brother, the sky is falling here in Zhongzhou, and he said that the court ordered officials not to leave their posts without authorization, so we have nothing to do with him.”

Tan looked at Xiao Maoheng suspiciously, "Fourth brother, if you gossip behind someone's back, you will go to hell and have your tongue pulled out."

Xiao Maoheng was very embarrassed, "Sister-in-law misunderstood, the old lady is here, everyone should not say a few words."

In just two or three days, Mrs. Xiao seemed to be ten years older.The old lady Xiao swept everyone indifferently, "The old man was not rescued, how do you sons and grandsons still have the face to come back to see the old man?"

Xiao Minghui immediately knelt on the ground and walked up to the old lady Xiao, "Old lady, my grandson deserves to die. My grandson wanted to stay in prison with the old man, but the people in the yamen refused to agree. Old lady, the old man is getting old , the prison is dark and humid, and the old man is not in good health when he enters. He had a high fever yesterday, but the fever subsided today, and he spent a lot of money to send some medicine in. Old lady, the old man is not in good health. , and let the old man stay in the prison, my grandson is worried that there will be unbearable consequences."

Does this mean that Mr. Xiao's body has reached a critical moment?Xiao Mingyu was startled.

The old lady Xiao jumped up, picked up her crutches and hit Xiao Minghui hard on the back, "Minghui, please speak clearly, what happened to the old man?"

Xiao Minghui cried: "Old lady, the old man can't get up anymore."

"Ah..." Mrs. Xiao couldn't bear the stimulation, she fell headlong and fell down.Nanny Wen supported the old lady Xiao in time, and everyone shouted anxiously: "Old lady, old lady, there is nothing wrong with you."

The old lady Xiao said weakly, "Help me to sit down." Her eyes turned black, and she had no strength in her feet.After being dragged for a few steps, he returned to his seat.

Everyone knelt down and asked Mrs. Xiao to take care of herself.

The old lady Xiao looked at everyone viciously, "Fourth, tell me. Since the old man is so sick, why didn't you bring him back. You are a son, so is that how you respect the old man?"

Xiao Maoheng was extremely innocent, "Don't be angry, the old lady, my son has no chance to see the old man at all. After Ming Hui and his second brother came out, they only said that the old man was sick, and the two of them didn't say a word on the way. The son only treats it as a general problem, how could he know that the old man can't get up anymore. If he had known earlier, the son would rush in and rescue the old man even if he rushed in."

"It's all nonsense to say now." Mrs. Xiao held back her anger, "Minghui, tell me. What's going on, why did you bother to hide it in the first place?"

"Old lady, grandson can't do anything about it. Both grandson and second uncle are doing things according to the old man's orders. The old man said that about his situation, he must wait to see the old lady before he is willing to speak. He said that he was worried that we would act impulsively." It is not good for the Xiao family." Xiao Minghui cried, "Old lady, there is no need to hesitate any longer, we must find a way to rescue the old man as soon as possible."

"Save, of course we have to save." The old lady Xiao panted heavily, "I will ask you first, what did the government say, why didn't the old man be rescued. You guys, explain clearly to the old man. If you don't know clearly, just Get the old man out."

Xiao Mingzhen stood up and said, "Reporting to the old lady, my grandson brought a total of 15 taels to the yamen today. This money saved my eldest brother and second uncle, and the rest is not enough to save the old man. My grandson also thought about it, first save the old man alone." Come out. But the people in the government said that if you want to save the old man, 15 taels is not enough. The grandson can't, so he can only rescue the elder brother and the second uncle first. The grandson is not doing well, please punish the old lady."

Mrs. Xiao's eyes turned black for a while, "Then tell me, how much does the government want before releasing him?"

Xiao Mingzhen hesitated, and Xiao Maoyang jumped out, "Old lady, the government has made it clear that they want to bring down our Xiao family. It is useless for us to move out the names of the eldest brother and the Han family today. The government only listens to the prince's orders. The royal family wants to clean up our Xiao family, how can we just let it go. I think the government has already figured out our Xiao family's property, and they will not let us go until our Xiao family offers all the property with both hands. Old lady, my son thinks that we You can’t compromise with the government. You absolutely can’t encourage this unhealthy trend.”

"I beat you to death as an unfilial son. According to what you said, you don't even want your father to fight with the government." The old lady Xiao pointed at Xiao Maoyang and cursed, "You better shut up, if If you dare to talk too much, I will make you unable to eat and walk around."

Xiao Mao blushed angrily, "Old lady..."

"Don't dare to say one more thing, I will tell you to get out." The old lady Xiao didn't give Xiao Maoyang any face.

Han surreptitiously tugged on Xiao Maoyang, "Sir, it's useless to talk too much."

Xiao Maoyang was so angry, he clearly knew that the government had dug a hole, but everyone still jumped down.How stupid.

The old lady Xiao asked Xiao Mingzhen, "Mingzhen, tell me, how much does the government want to release him?"
