Chapter 175: Robbing a Car or Robbing a Person?
When the coachman in front of him got this sentence, he frantically threw off his whip and ran forward without any scruples, as if he didn't care about anything.
And the coachman who drove the carriage of Wang's mother and daughter behind him was also crazy, but instead of flicking the whip frantically, he got out of the car frantically and ran elsewhere.
The carriage without the coachman was isolated in the middle of the road, and in the carriage, the mother and daughter were huddled together, and they were no longer able to make a mistake.
I heard the bandit-like people outside the carriage shouting, "Grab your relatives!" Immediately, he frantically drove Wang's carriage to the fork in the woods on the side. After a short period of effort, it has disappeared without a trace.
I heard early that the eldest daughter Gao Ying was rewarded at the banquet, and Gao Wu led the whole family to wait at the gate of the General's Mansion. This is a sign of respect for royal gifts and proper courtesy.
But I was looking forward and waiting, but only one carriage came back.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Xi Yao and Bai Moyang jumped out of the carriage first.
As soon as Gao Wu saw that Wang's mother and daughter were not there, he hurriedly came down from the steps and said, "What about your mother and Lan'er?" Why didn't you come back together? ”
Xi Yao's face was pale (not because of her good acting skills, but because she had ground a few layers of fat powder just now), and looked at Bai Moyang hesitantly, and the two of them didn't dare to say it.
Gao Wu was originally an anxious person, but seeing the two of them like this, he was so anxious that he couldn't do it, so he slapped his thigh and said coldly, "You guys should hurry up!" ”
When the old lady saw that her son was about to lose her temper, she poked the crutches hard, "What are you yelling at?" Let the child take a breath and then say ......" and then said to Xi Yao in a soft tone, "Good boy, don't worry, speak slowly." ”
Xi Yao swallowed his saliva, as if he was greatly shocked and frightened, and said, "Shicai, we came out of the palace with our mother's carriage, and when we passed by the bend back to the city, suddenly both carriages were intercepted, and the group of people who listened to the voice seemed to be bandits, so I first asked, which carriage was rewarded just now?" Then, seeing that there were gold and silver treasures behind the carriage in which his mother and sister were riding, that is, the treasures that the Queen Mother had given him, he hijacked the carriage without saying a word. Our carriage was let back because there was nothing, and we didn't dare to rush forward, the other party was overwhelmed, I discussed with my eldest brother, and hurried back to report the news! ”
After Gao Wu listened to Xi Yao's words, his eyes darkened, he didn't stand firmly, and almost fell backwards.
For ordinary large families, being robbed by bandits is a small matter, and the name is a big matter, if the mother and daughter are not found back immediately, if the matter spreads, I am afraid that the entire general's mansion will be pointed at for the rest of their lives.
"You two idiots! At such a critical juncture, why don't you protect your mother and sister? Especially you, Gao Weiguang, as the eldest son of the General's Mansion, you look at your appearance, where is there a manly appearance, robbed by bandits, you actually ran back alone, what face do you have to be the son of the General's Mansion? Venting all his anger on Bai Moyang's body, Gao Wu almost collapsed at this moment.
When the old lady heard this, she was very unhappy, and hit the crutches twice again, "Okay, when is this?" Is it time for you to complain about your children? Hurry up and send someone out to find it! ”
"Grandmother is right, father, the son of Shicai also quietly sent people to follow those people, I guess there will be news this time!"
"What did you say?" Gao Wu's face turned pale, and he grabbed Bai Moyang's arm violently, "Who sent it out?" Is it reliable? ”
"Back to my father, he is the driver of the carriage, and he is also an old man in our house, he has the fastest legs and feet, and he is also smart, so he should be able to keep up."
"Okay, that's good, hurry up, hurry up and worry about all the guards in the house, follow me to save people!" Gao Wu gave an order, who dared not to obey, and several guards at the door responded in unison, "Yes!" "Immediately prepare for battle.
"Wait! You are making such a big fanfare, are you afraid that the whole capital will not know what is going on in our family? Do you want to be quiet, do you know? The old lady's tone was displeased, although the Wang family and Gao Gao Lan were not usually loved by her, but after all, they were from the General's Mansion, and if something happened to the entire mansion, the whole mansion would be implicated, so it should be dealt with calmly at this time.
After the old lady's reminder, Gao Wu sobered up.
In fact, if it was any aunt or concubine who was robbed today, Gao Wu would wave his hand and don't care, after all, if he chased it out and was discovered, he would lose the face of the entire general's mansion. Let Gao Wu choose between a concubine, an aunt and the face of the general's mansion, and he will not hesitate to choose the latter.
It's his wife and his favorite daughter who have an accident, and it's naturally good to be able to save both of them without making a sound, if something really happens, he should personally finish it halfway, otherwise if it really comes to the point of burying the reputation of the entire General's Mansion, his future will be ruined.
"You, go and gather all the guards and assemble at the side door, be fast!"
Bai Moyang naturally wanted to go with him, after all, the so-called "coachman" was sent out by him.
Xi Yao's remaining task is to accompany the old lady, and help the old lady back to her yard, although the people around her don't say anything, but they are really anxious in their hearts.
An hour later, Gao came in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the house, he looked anxious, "Mother, what's going on?" As soon as the daughter returned home from the banquet, she heard that something had happened to her brother and daughter-in-law...... Hurry over, do you have any news? ”
The old lady's face changed sharply, "How did you know about this?" "Because there is no news from Gao Wu and Bai Moyang's side, the old lady specially ordered the whole house to block the news, and no one is allowed to tell him, even her daughter Gao, Mrs. Shangshu, is hidden.
But I didn't expect that people would come when they got the news.
Gao's face was innocent, "Yes...... The outside knows it! ”
"What do you say? Got it all? Slamming down the table, the old lady almost jumped up from the table, and then sat down slowly, "What a sin, what a sin!" The face of the General's Mansion is all lost! ”
Realizing the severity of the problem, Gao didn't dare to say anything, and glanced at Xi Yao's direction schematically, and saw that Xi Yao just shook his head.
"Old lady, don't worry, my father and eldest brother are out, we should think about things for the better." Handing the warm tea to the old lady, Xi Yao persuaded her.
The old lady slowly pushed the tea aside, "Ying'er, you don't understand ......" She didn't even have the heart to drink tea at all.
At this time, the people guarding the mansion were like ants on a hot pot, just waiting for the news from Gao Wu and the others.
The only person who knows how things will develop is Xi Yao.
