Chapter Ninety-Five: Cooperation

The death of the head of the family is difficult for anyone to accept. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Just like the death of Master Tao, the family members are all sad and depressed.

Seeing that she still wiped the corners of her eyes, the Xiao family invited her in, and then sent someone to spread the word.

It didn't take long for her to be led directly to Xiao Lan'er's courtyard by the little girl.

After entering this person's boudoir, the two have seen each other for a long time, and both of them have their fathers died early, and their eyes are inexplicably wet.

After the two sat on the bed, Xiao Lan'er hugged her.

The eyes that were already swollen and unbearable, tears fell again.

Tao Xiushui patted the man: "Don't cry, everything will pass"

Xiao Lan'er wiped her tears and smiled reluctantly: "Yes, now our situation is the same, it's really miserable."

"That's why I came to you to discuss something."

Xiao Lan'er has never gone out to see anyone since Old Man Xiao died.

If she hadn't heard that Tao Xiushui was here this time, she wouldn't have seen anyone.

At this time, I heard my friend say this, and hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"

Tao Xiushui sank before he said solemnly: "I want to see your brother and say something."

"My brother?" Xiao Lan'er doesn't know when the relationship between the two has developed to this extent, and they will meet when they say they will meet.

Tao Xiu was stunned when she saw this person, knowing that she wanted to be crooked, and hurriedly said:

"Yes, your brother, but don't think about it, I have something to do with him."

Xiao Lan'er thought that as soon as her father died, their brothers and sisters would become lonely, not to mention that they would be married, and they would be alone, and they were sad and didn't make any jokes, and continued:

"You wait, I'll call the maid to call him"

Tao Xiushui saw that his friend's mood was still low, and comforted him again: "The elder has passed away, we should all mourn and live well, and we can't let them go uneasy."

Xiao Lan'er reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth and replied, "Yes, but I really miss my father......"

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't stop crying.

Tao Xiushui knew that Xiao Lan'er needed a vent, even if the daughter of an ordinary family cried, it was impossible to cry in front of others, even if she didn't dare to relax her family, this girl's sadness these days must be suppressed, she couldn't support it, and it was good to cry and vent the depression in her heart.

"Lan'er, if you're really too sad, just cry! you don't have to hide it in front of me, you can cry as much as you want."

Xiao Lan'er cried loudly when she heard this, and she cried loudly without suppressing it at all.

Her maid Xiaomei saw that Miss was like this, and she was also wiping her tears on the side, wanting to step forward to dissuade her, but she was also stopped by Tao Xiushui.

"Let her cry!

She looked at Xiao Lan'er and said:

"Lan'er, you can vent to your heart's content! But I hope this is the last time you cry, when people have setbacks, you can't cry like a child who hasn't grown up, after all, you are an adult now, your mother must be very sad and sad, you have to be strong in front of her." ”

The sadness in Tao Xiushui's heart is just a regret for the sudden death of the deceased, and the other emotions are much lighter.

It didn't take long, and the mother-in-law outside came to report that the eldest son was coming.

Xiao Lan'er also stopped crying, and hurriedly went to wash her face before coming out.

Xiao An has also been very bad these days, although he used to take care of family affairs, but he felt that the burden on his shoulders was not so heavy.

Now it's different, his father died suddenly, and everything is on him alone.

He wasn't in the mood to go out this morning, and he didn't change his clothes, when he suddenly heard that his sister was looking for him, and he didn't even eat a bite of breakfast.

When I entered the house, I saw my sister with red and swollen eyes and an indifferent face.

Tao girl?

Tao Xiushui saw Xiao An enter the house and stood up and saluted by himself.

Xiao An didn't clean himself up today, and he looked a little sloppy, this was the first time he had seen outsiders unkempt.

His face was ashamed, and he blamed his sister for calling him when he had a guest.

coughed lightly and said, "Gu Ran Tao is also here, then I happen to have something to do, and I'll ...... another day."

Tao Xiushui didn't expect this person to leave as soon as he arrived, so he interrupted and said: "Xiao Gongzi I asked Lan'er to find you, because I felt something strange about something, so I discussed it with you, you see what to do."

Xiao Anxin was strange, and he didn't know what was going on, so he had to sit down and say, "Miss Tao, please speak."

Tao Xiushui thought for a while and said, "I think Uncle Xiao's death and my father's death are a little strange."

"What do you mean by Miss Tao?" Xiao An didn't understand why the person in front of him said this.

Xiao Lan'er was even more surprised: "How is this possible?"

Tao Xiushui said indifferently, "Have you heard that some merchants in the city have died of illness recently?"

Xiao An also heard about it, but he was sad that his father died suddenly, so he didn't notice it at all, and nodded and said, "I did hear some."

"Then can Xiao Gongzi notice a detail, these deceased merchants are the same people who were arrested and put in prison that day with Uncle Xiao and my father. ”

Xiao An was surprised when he heard this, and finally knew what the girl in front of him was going to say, but he retorted:

"This ...... How is that possible?"

Tao Xiushui smiled indifferently, "Xiao Gongzi can go and check this matter, naturally it will be clear"

Xiao An's face instantly turned gray and ugly, and he gritted his teeth and secretly said that if his father really let people be killed to death, he would never let this person go.

The room was quiet for a while, and Xiao Lan'er reacted and said:

"Xiushui, are you saying that my father, your father, and the merchants who died in the city were all killed by the county government?"

Tao Xiushui looked at the brother and sister in front of him and replied:

"I'm not sure, but the deaths of my father, Uncle Xiao and others are indeed strange, what is the cause, as long as you look into it, you will know"

Xiao An looked at the girl in front of her with an indifferent face, and she was about to check the official mansion when she opened her mouth, and she was somehow touched in her heart.

A girl wants to find out the cause of her father's death, let alone a seven-foot man.

With a face of shame, Xiao Rong's voice sank and said, "I am willing to find out this matter with Miss Xiao."

Tao Xiushui wanted to cooperate with this person, after all, there were some things that it was inconvenient for her to come out of a girl's family, and with the help of the first son of Baicheng, she would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

said with a smile: "Thank you Xiao Gongzi for your help"

"Miss Tao is polite, this is also my duty as a son of man"

After the two finished talking secretly, they went separately to check on the merchants in Baicheng.

Until this evening, the two met again, and the people who found each other were a pair, these days, except for a white-bodied man in a private house in the south of the city, the other people who died unexpectedly were all merchants, and no more, no less, were all merchants who delivered goods to Beijing with Mr. Xiao and Mr. Tao, and they were all peers who had been in prison together.

Tao Xiushui looked at the pale face of the son in front of him, and said leisurely:

"Now you can believe what I say! There are thousands of coincidences in the world, but there are no such coincidences."

Xiao An nodded, "Indeed, then what should we do next?" Seeing the girl in front of him with a firm look in his eyes, he asked indifferently.
