Chapter 135, I invite you to dinner
Hua Youxian also knew that it was difficult to get out of here on foot, and it was easy to be caught up if he escaped along the road, so he hid in the dense forest next to the mountain road, planning to wait until dusk, take the opportunity to climb into a large truck transporting mineral sand, and hide in the mineral sand pile to leave this deep mountain.
It should be said that he was already very cautious, and the escape operation was very successful, but he didn't expect Xiang Boss's reaction to be extremely fast, and he was able to catch up with him in the deep mountains and dense forests, and chased him all the way up the mountain.
Although Hua Youxian was afraid, he could still calm down at the moment, shrunk his neck and hid between You Fang, Qianbei Daoren, and Shen Shen, and briefly told the story of the matter, although he couldn't introduce all the details in a short time, but the matter was clear enough.
You was expressionless, looking at Hua Youxian with sympathy and appreciation in his eyes, this child's experience is indeed very pitiful, but he is definitely a smart, assertive, and forbearant material, maybe his parents are too honest and didn't teach him too much, and he suffered a big loss the first time he came out to break into the world, but fortunately he didn't accept his fate, and tried every possible way to break free, and almost succeeded.
It can't be said that it was almost a bit, although he was caught by Xiang Tianhua again, but he happened to bump into You Fang and others, he had succeeded, and then it was time for Xiang Tianhua and related people to be unlucky!
Everyone didn't say a word, Qianbei Daoist looked at Xiang Tianhua's eyes like two invisible blades, Xiang Xiaoli's face was almost the same as the pig liver that had been frozen in the refrigerator for three days, the newly enthroned Songhe Valley Sect Master, asked in a calm, soothing, low and inexplicably depressed voice: "Xiang, Tian, Hua, are these true?" ”
The cold sweat on Xiang Tianhua's face had dried up, and he wanted to escape, but in front of so many masters, there was no hope of escaping at all, so many eyes were like knives, as if he was standing in an invisible rain of bullets. Xiang Xiaoli didn't get angry, his tone was very calm, gloomy and terrifying, this was already a murderous machine.
He was already stunned, and at this moment he said something that perhaps the most unspeakable thing in the world was: "Second Uncle is angry, Uncle Zuohu also knows about these things, but there is an extreme shortage of secret crystals, and he doesn't blame me." There are a lot of spars that he has taken away, and in the past six months, there have been a lot of private exchanges from me, and someone is here, can't he stand up and say a word for me? ”
Xiang Xiaoli and Xiang Yinghua shouted at the same time: "Presumptuous! At this time, a figure rushed out and stopped in front of Xiang Tianhua in time, it was Xiang Xiaoli's son Xiang Fenghua, he opened his arms and persuaded: "Father, cousin, please calm your anger, if you kill Tian Hua at this moment, Xiang Jia can't explain it clearly!" ”
Xiang Tianhua's words undoubtedly admitted that what Hua Youxiao said was the truth, but he pulled Xiang Zuohu and his fellow Jianghu in, how could Xiang Yinghua and Xiang Xiaoli not be angry? At this moment, the killing machine was moved, if it wasn't for Xiang Fenghua to stop him, it is estimated that he would be able to slaughter him on the spot, then there is no way to verify this statement, but it is even more unclear, and it is definitely a bigger scandal when it spreads.
You Fang watched coldly, and could see that this matter had nothing to do with Xiang Yinghua or Xiang Xiaoli, these two people didn't know at all, otherwise Hua Youxian would not have had the opportunity to tell the truth. The person who snatched Hua Youxian from Xiang Tianhua was Xiang Xiaoli, and the first person to ask was Xiang Yinghua.
Seeing that Xiang Tianhua wanted to shirk responsibility, and even got involved with his father who had disappeared for a long time, Xiang Yinghua couldn't believe it at all, Xiang Zuohu was no longer there, no matter how much he spewed blood, it was impossible to justify it, and he almost killed someone in a fit of anger. And Xiang Xiaoli's anger has another deep meaning, Xiang Zuohu has anything to do with this matter, he is not sure.
If Xiang Zuohu has nothing to do with this, then Xiang Tianhua is nonsense, and if Xiang Zuohu really knows, it is impossible to publicize it to anyone. At this moment, Xiang Tianhua said these words, the dirty water is not only splashed on Xiangzuo Fox, but insults the entire Songhe Valley Xiangjia, and then bites the same people in the rivers and lakes in order to protect themselves, just say a few names, this matter will be a big trouble, and the Xiang family will offend the major factions of the entire Jianghu Fengmen!
At that moment, he really had the intention of killing people, but he was stopped by his son Xiang Fenghua and reminded him not to be impulsive, killing people on the spot was more troublesome.
Xiang Xiaoli let out a sigh of relief, slowly put down the hand that had been raised, and said as calmly as possible: "Xiang Tianhua, it's not enough for you to do your own evil, and your heart is too dangerous. …… If there are fellow Taoists who have exchanged for spars from you, it is just a normal relationship, and there is no difference between buying and selling in the world, and it has nothing to do with this matter, please don't mention another word. …… Fenghua, if he dares to mention what fellow rivers and lakes he has made with privately mined spars, he will be slaughtered immediately! ”
Xiang Xiaoli made it clear that mining spars is one thing, and the way of mining spars is another. It seems that Xiang Tianhua mined a lot of spars privately and did not hand them over to Songhe Valley, so he must have traded with his fellow Jianghu in private for his own benefit. If there are fellow Taoists in the rivers and lakes who use any benefits to exchange spars with Tian Hua, it has nothing to do with what Hua Youxian said, don't get involved.
This is just a normal exchange, but it doesn't sound good to say it at this time, so Xiang Xiaoli gave his son an order, if Xiang Tianhua mentions this stubble again, he will be killed immediately!
Then he saluted at You Fang Chang again: "Thank you, Mr. Rand, if you hadn't drunk it unintentionally, you would have almost deceived this beast, not only would the evil deeds be unstoppable, but if the incident happened, I would also have a hard time saying it." Since you asked, please continue to ask. ”
This is good, in order to avoid suspicion, Xiang Xiaoli still asked You Fang to carry this drudgery, but on the surface he was grateful. It's not easy to ask, and I don't know who I'll offend if I'm not careful. You Fang didn't ask Xiang Tian Hua, and continued to ask Hua Youxian and said, "This little brother, why didn't you call for help when you saw us just now?" Even if you can't speak, it's good to make a look. ”
Hua Youxian couldn't figure out who these people were, and he couldn't understand what they were saying, but he understood who was protecting him, and he replied when You Fang asked, and said with a smile with a somewhat cowering face: "I heard the boss call him second uncle, thinking that you were all in the same group." ”
You Fang continued: "You misunderstood, this uncle is a good person, you escaped, how many workers are still locked up there?" We're going to get them all out. ”
Hua Youxian: "There are twenty-eight people, I asked, all of them have learned the craft of stonemasonry, they put forward this requirement when they recruited, my father is also a stonemason, I have learned the craft since I was a child." ”
At this time, Xiang Yinghua suddenly interjected, walked over and said softly: "Little brother, don't be afraid, we not only want to save you, but also thank you, can you answer me a few words?" How long have you been locked up there, how many treasures has that villain found, and what are they like? ”
Seeing that this big sister is so beautiful and kind, she just opened her mouth to help him, so Hua Youxian told the truth. He was trapped in the canyon for fourteen months, during which time he picked up a total of twenty-three treasures from his boss, and although he did not know what the specific name was, an expert could understand it by listening to his description.
In these fourteen months, the workers in the mine mined a total of seventeen tungsten stones, three wolframite, one silver coral, one fluorite, and one swallowtail twinite. Hua Youxian's surname is very good, and this is the only major event in his life since this period of time, and he described it very clearly.
Xiang Yinghua frowned and said, "In the past fourteen months, if I remember correctly, Xiang Tianhua only handed over thirteen tungsten stones from Songhe Valley. In addition to the mine, tungsten stone is already produced in this mine, and wolframite crystals can occasionally be seen every one or two years, and the number of submissions is probably the same as before. It seems that the spars mined in the mine were all intercepted by Xiang Tianhua privately. …… Today, the incident happened suddenly, and Xiang Tianhua was not prepared, and he needed to carefully search his residence in the mine. ”
Xiang Xiaoli nodded, and then asked, "Fellow Daoists, what should we do with this beast?" ”
Everyone didn't speak, they still looked at You Fang intentionally or unintentionally, since it was him who came out, then he came out to the end, it was not appropriate to say anything at this time. Xiang Xiaoli also looked at it with an inquiring look, and You Fang had to bite the bullet and say: "In my opinion, if you abolish the cultivation, report the case to the police for disposal, and let the police investigate, no one has anything to say." ”
This kind of suggestion is really speechless, whose business is whose business, it involves a major criminal case with a bad surname, and there are three foremen and 28 workers in the mine who need to be rescued, how to punish, how to compensate, and who else is involved? There are too many people involved, and it is not suitable for Xiang to solve it privately, if Xiang Xiaoli is really frank, then the official business will be handed over to the public security.
Some nodded, others frowned. It's also a troublesome thing to hand over to the public security, because ordinary police can't understand what Xiang Tianhua wants to do when he tricks these workers back and digs up those worthless spars? You Fang added a few words in a timely manner: "Large whole mineral crystals have been very hot in the collector's and ornamental market over the years, and they are in good condition and are very valuable." In addition, I heard that there are black-hearted brick kilns in other places that deceive ignorant teenagers to work as coolies, so it is possible to appear in the mines. …… Those who should be saved must be saved, those who should be arrested must be arrested, and things that should be dealt with must also be addressed. ”
These words sound inexplicable, but they are actually reminding Xiang Xiaoli and making the police understand the motive for committing the crime. In fact, no matter what the motive is, it is this kind of behavior that should be punished, let alone spar mining, even if there is no purpose and benefit, you should be shot if you do this kind of thing!
After saying this, he suddenly turned his head and said to the Qianbei Taoist: "You and I met in Hongbin Industrial Park, I thought it was already very dark, but I didn't expect it!" ”
Qianbei Daoist didn't take this stubble, raised the gourd and took a sip of wine and said: "Between gains and losses, in the heart of the Dao." ”
Xiang Xiaoli's face was cloudy, and he finally sighed and said: "Fenghua, you immediately abolished Tian Hua, I Xiangjiaying took the initiative to call the police, and ordered someone to quietly enter the canyon to keep an eye on that place and not to alarm, no matter what, punish those who should be punished and rescue those who should be saved." …… Fellow travelers, this matter is insulting to the door style of Songhe Valley, and I am ashamed to smile! As far as Mr. Elander's words are concerned, I have no impartiality towards my family, and I ask you to bear witness. ”
Shen Shenyi persuaded: "Uncle Xiaoli, the tree has dead branches, you don't have to be too ashamed, listen to the child's story, this matter is extremely secret, how do you know the dirt before it is revealed?" Today, Mr. Rand inadvertently opened his mouth to break it, clean up the Songhe Valley door in public, and return your innocence, otherwise it will be leaked and spread out, which is really good to say. ”
Xiang Xiaoli once persuaded Shen Shenyi like this, but now that these words are back, it is not appropriate for others to speak, but Shen Shenyi can say this, don't forget that he was killed because of Sun Fengbo.
Xiang Fenghua immediately escorted Xiang Tianhua into a car, and several disciples of the Xiang family followed, driving two off-road vehicles down the mountain. Everyone could see clearly from the mountain, one of them went out of the mountain at the fork in the road, and the other entered the canyon.
Everyone stood on the mountain and didn't go, and they didn't speak silently waiting for something, they waited for three hours, and they could hear the siren on the road below with bated breath, and then they saw Xiang Fenghua's car leading a few police cars to the entrance of the canyon.
Everyone was just watching silently, and at this time, Hua Youxian came to You Fang and asked weakly: "This kind big brother, I don't dare to stay here, can you send me away first?" I will be grateful for your great kindness for the rest of my life. ”
This kid can also see that he has offended a rich and powerful family, and he seems to be safe on this occasion, once he turns around, who knows if he will be retaliated against? Who can guarantee that there will be no fish that slipped through the net among Xiang Tianhua's accomplices? It seems that You Fang is a trustworthy person, and his words count, and he wants to take the opportunity to leave quickly, this mentality is completely understandable.
He thought he was speaking in a small voice, but he was surrounded by people with keen senses, and almost everyone heard it. Xiang Yinghua suddenly spoke, and first said to Xiang Xiaoli: "Second uncle, if the human and material evidence in this case is enough, you can let this child go, he is frightened." Then he said to You Fang: "Mr. Rand, can I ask you to send him out of Suichuan together." ”
Before You Fang could answer, Hua Youxian had already knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed: "Thank you, big brother benefactor, thank you fairy sister!" I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life, and I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity! ”
It is not surprising that he calls You Fang his benefactor, but it is very interesting to call Xiang Yinghua the fairy sister, and the name of the Moon Shadow Fairy is not completely false, in the mind of this strange country boy, she is this kind of image.
Xiang Yinghua waved his hand, of course, he couldn't let him really knock his head to the ground, and said apologetically: "Little brother, you don't have to thank me, in fact, my surname is Xiang, the boss you said is my cousin, and the people of our family are sorry for you!" And You Fang had already pulled him up.
……
Still You Fang drove, Xiang Yinghua sat in the co-pilot seat to show the way, and Hua Youxian sat in the back seat. Although it was on a bumpy mountain road, this time the car drove very fast, and it was like riding a fighter jet. The road out of the mountain is very difficult to walk, but after merging into a road, the road condition is much better, and it is about two hours after entering Suichuan County, when the lights are already on.
You Fang lent his mobile phone to Hua Youxian in the car, asked him to call his parents, and made an appointment to meet somewhere, Hua Youxian cried and chatted on the phone, the agreed place was still somewhere in Chenzhou, he asked his parents to wait over there, and he rushed over overnight.
Finally finished the phone call, You Fang reminded Hua Youxian to tell his parents to turn off the phone immediately and not to contact the outside world again, Xiang Yinghua suddenly asked: "Hua Youxian, Xiang Tianhua promised to give you wages, how much do you still owe?" Count it all out. ”
Hua Youxian counted with his fingers, the basic salary is 1,000 and 5 per month, find a treasure, all the workers will be rewarded with 1,000 each, and the person who will find it will get 2,000 more, and after half a year, Xiang Tianhua will give him a salary increase, which is 5,000 per month. The screening work is not counted, Hua Youxian found eight "treasures" with his own hands, in addition to the 20,000 yuan he already wanted, he should still owe him 68,000 yuan.
Xiang Yinghua let the car stop on the side of the road, at this time the bank was closed, but the ATM can also withdraw money, and it is troublesome enough to find an ATM to take out 68,000 yuan one by one, Xiang Yinghua took the money back to the car and handed it to Hua Youxian and said: "Although it is not my fault, I am responsible for the family, this money can't compensate you for anything, just the salary you deserve." ”
You Fang watched from the car and secretly sighed, this money really can't compensate for the suffering that Hua Youxian has endured, but it has nothing to do with Xiang Yinghua, so what if she doesn't give it? Hua Youxian is going to leave on his own, and if he doesn't go to the police to testify and recover, it is actually tantamount to giving up. And Xiang Yinghua still settled the "salary", according to what Hua Youxian said, he didn't even say a word, as for the 20,000 yuan that Hua Youxian spent, he counted it as having already received it, so he counted it.
After receiving the money, he walked a short distance, and You Fang also stopped the car, bought a pair of shoes, a pair of pants, a belt, a coat, a hat, and a travel bag in a shopping mall on the side of the road, and returned to the car to let Hua Youxian change his clothes, and then watched him divide the money into several stacks and put it away carefully.
He was supposed to have dinner, but Hua Youxian was in the mood to eat, You Fang bought him a few meat buns and put them in a bag, and watched him get on a long-distance bus that crossed Suichuan to Chenzhou and left, so he let go of a worry.
Before getting into the car, he whispered in his ear Hua Youxian and said: "I called just now, I heard that your family is in Wanxian County, Yucheng, but your parents are working outside, so change places and continue to work, don't stay in Chenzhou and leave immediately after meeting, and don't be in a hurry to return to your hometown, you are a smart child, the reason doesn't need me to say more." It may not be much, but it's better to be cautious. ”
Hua You walked away, and You Fang said to Yinghua: "I am deeply grateful for the matter of Sun Fengbo, and I admire it very much!" I haven't eaten since the morning, can I invite you to dinner? I heard that the special flavor of simmering pig's feet in a clay pot here is good, since you have come to Suichuan, you can just go to taste it. ”
During the day, everyone didn't have lunch, and now it's dinner, and you have the leisure to taste the special flavors of Jiangxi. Xiang Yinghua wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he agreed, and he didn't rush to ask for a treat, but nodded lightly: "Mr. Rand is really thoughtful, Yinghua is also hungry, then thank you for your kindness, let's go to dinner." ”
At this moment, her mobile phone rang, but Xiang Yinghua didn't answer or look at it, and when the other party hung up, she turned off her mobile phone.
