Chapter 419
When he saw the subordinate panicked, Mi Zhu was very unhappy in his heart. As the current helmsman of the Mi family, he is very strict with the servants in his family. , That's right, he and Liu Bei are still very compatible on weekdays, especially on the issue of treating subordinates. At least he also thinks that people are human beings and should not be treated like goods or animals. ‘
But on the other hand, he treats his subordinates very strictly. thinks that only subordinates who have done their duties well are worthy of him to take seriously, and for those who have not fulfilled their duties well at all, there is no need for that.
In the past, those subordinates of the Mi family also demanded of themselves like this.
It is not for nothing that the Mi family can grow into today's three major families in Xuzhou with only two brothers, and it is not without reason that the Chen family, which is not inferior to the old fox Chen Qi. As one of the three major families, the Cao family is now pressed by the other two families, and it is not unreasonable.
But now, this subordinate is so flustered, which really makes Mi Zhu very dissatisfied. If Liu Bei wasn't next to him, he wouldn't want outsiders to see the joke, I'm afraid he would have already started to clean up this guy.
However, just when Liu Bei was thinking so in his heart, the words of that subordinate made his expression freeze suddenly.
It's hard to imagine what Liu Bei and Mi Zhu's expressions were like when they heard the news. As for Guan Zhang, Mi Fang and others, they didn't react, and there was still a slight smile on their faces, but the former was smiling, while the latter was smirking.
After all, he has never been optimistic about Liu Bei, and he doesn't think that his brother's choice is correct, compared with Liu Bei, in fact, he is still more optimistic about Yan Shao. However, since his brother has chosen so, it seems that he has no other way to be a younger brother except to believe in his brother's choice.
What's more, the Mi family has invested too much in Liu Bei today, and there is no possibility of retreating at all, and now there is no other way than to go black on a road. But this time, after Mi Fang, who was smirking, heard the words of the subordinate, the smile on her face gradually froze.
"What's the matter, how could Miss be gone!" Tightly grasping the subordinate who came to report the news, Mi Zhu couldn't help but ask sharply.
In the past, Mi Zhu has always been known for being lenient and kind, and he has a considerable degree in common with Liu Bei in this regard, and the two will be so compatible with this also has a considerable degree of relationship. But now, at such a critical moment, Mi Zhu really can't be reconciled.
It was also the first time for that subordinate to see Mi Zhu's expression, and he was a little stunned for a while.
Liu Bei, who was next to him, had not yet reacted to the seriousness of the matter at this time, but instead pressed his hand on Mi Zhu's arm and said in a wide voice. "Zizhong, don't be in a hurry, ask slowly, maybe there is something wrong."
Until this time, Liu Bei had not considered the possibility of the woman escaping the marriage. But it's no wonder that Liu Bei thinks so, it's really too unlikely that this kind of thing is too likely, and the possibility of something going wrong in a certain link is greater than this.
Guan Zhang and the others, who were standing behind Liu Bei, also nodded, obviously not considering the possibility of the woman running away. After all, in their eyes, their brother is a rare hero, even if he is worthy of a woman in the royal family, he is absolutely worthy.
Now they are even more annoyed that the thief who came out of nowhere actually followed their sister-in-law who kidnapped them...
Especially Zhang Fei, who was already angry when he spewed rough air out of his nose.
When Mi Fang and Mi Zhu were shocked, they also guessed a certain possibility when they heard the news, and because of this Mi Zhu, they were so shocked, and after hearing Liu Bei's persuasion, Mi Fang on the side also smiled bitterly.
But it's useless to say anything else right now, the two of them have to pray, their little sister just runs out for a turn, don't make any big problems, otherwise...
Glancing at Liu Bei, who didn't seem to take it seriously, the two secretly complained...
No matter how lenient Liu Bei is now, and how much he relies on them, after all, he is Xuzhou Mu and the nominal master of Xuzhou, if he really falls out, it will be absolutely unfavorable to the Mi family...
Especially in this matter, the Mi family still has no reason, if Liu Bei really wants to target the Mi family, they don't even have a reason to fight back...
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but they still cleaned up their mood, took Liu Bei and others to Mi Mansion together, and secretly prayed in their hearts, hoping that things would not develop in the direction they were most worried about.
It is true that Xuzhou is a big city, but any city will be divided into multiple areas, such as residential areas or commercial areas. Generally speaking, the area of the residential area is the largest, but it is also the most divided, because there are also people who are differentiated, there are upper floors, there are middle floors, and naturally there are lower floors...
And human beings are precisely creatures who like to treat others differently...
Therefore, the huge city of Xuzhou not only has various areas including commercial areas, but also residential areas are divided into several grades. There are places that resemble slums, places where ordinary people live, and places that are dedicated to the residence of the dignitaries and magnates.
Theoretically, the number of these dignitaries should be the smallest, but in reality, the area where these people live is almost much larger than the area where normal residents live.
The reason is also very simple, who makes the family a dignitary. Normal people are basically a small house, and if there is a small yard, it is already good, and ordinary people can basically be satisfied.
But those in the upper class are different, they not only need to have a big yard of their own, but more importantly, there are countless people to support. In many cases, in order to take care of these upper-class people with less than ten people, the servants below and the like all add up to hundreds of people, how can it be possible if so many people live in a large enough place?
However, even if the area is large, in the final analysis, Xiapi is only a large city after all, and it is also a large city in ancient times, and the so-called large area is only relatively speaking. The group left Liu Bei's mansion and arrived at Mi Mansion almost without too much time.
As the woman's home, Mifu is naturally dressed up very festively, with lights everywhere, making people see that there must be something happy happening here. However, this place, which was supposed to be a place of great joy, is now a mess, and the position in front of the gate of Mifu is full of headless flies. Everyone was messed up, and many soldiers ran out with weapons in hand, and they didn't know who they were going to fight for.
At this time, Mi Zhu and they returned, and immediately let these people have the backbone of the backbone, and they surrounded them one after another.
"Sir, sir..."
"Sir, you're back..."
Everyone looked up to Mi Zhu, as if there was a way as long as he came back. But it's no wonder they're like this, it's really too big this time. Mi Zhen's identity has always been extremely important in the Mi family, and she is deeply loved by Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, no one dares to offend on weekdays, and now she is about to become Liu Bei's wife.
Who is Liu Bei? That is the hero who saved Xuzhou, and he is now the Xuzhou Mu. Not to mention them, even if the two heads of their own family meet Liu Bei, they have to be polite and give three points.
Now that the young lady is gone, these subordinates must be responsible.
"Don't mess around, what's going on!"
Looking at these unsuccessful subordinates, Mi Zhu asked sharply.
Those subordinates looked at each other, not knowing what to say, in fact, most of these people didn't really understand what was going on, after all, they were just some subordinates, and Mi Zhen had a conflict with Mi Zhu before, and they had been confined to the courtyard, and they were not allowed to go out at all, so it was impossible to have any contact with them.
Even if Mi Zhen disappeared, they actually learned about it after listening to the people in the courtyard, but in fact, they didn't know anything at all.
Fortunately, although they didn't know anything, but someone inside knew, so they saw a housekeeper of Mifu hurriedly walked out from inside, bowing in front of everyone, when he saw Liu Bei, he was obviously trembling, but after looking at the two masters with a strict face, he still said the matter.
It turned out that this morning, the next person planned to deliver the meal to Mi Zhen's room.
Although Mi Zhen was grounded after the conflict with Mi Zhu, she is still the eldest lady of the Mi family after all, and she enjoys treatment that exceeds that of ordinary people, and it is even more impossible to abuse her in this regard, otherwise Mi Fang will not agree, and Mi Zhu herself will not be able to do this.
To be reasonable, in terms of his love for this sister, he is not inferior to Mi Fang at all, but when he acts, he, as the eldest brother, can put the interests of the family above everything.
However, when the next person opened the door and walked in, he found that Mi Zhen, who was supposed to be in the room, had disappeared.
At first, the subordinate thought that Mi Zhen was resting, or went to the courtyard, but she didn't pay attention. After all, no matter how big a mistake Mi Zhen makes, he is the eldest lady of the Mi family, and the yard where he lives is indeed a little smaller than she used to be, and it is definitely not comparable to ordinary people. In the whole courtyard, there are even small pavilions and rockeries that Mi Zhen uses to relax.
But after the subordinates searched around the courtyard and found no trace of Mi Zhen, she and the other subordinates in the courtyard changed their faces, because they understood that something was wrong.
The news of Mi Zhen's disappearance soon disappeared, and after a while, the entire Mi family already knew the news.
Soon the whole family went out, wanting to find Mi Zhen who didn't know why she was missing, but this move was in vain, they searched for a long time, but they still didn't find Mi Zhen's figure, and they had no choice but to send someone to Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, and told the two of them about the matter.
Now almost the entire family has run out, wanting to find the missing young lady, of course, there are those thieves who dare to kidnap the young lady and chop them into meat sauce one by one Until this time, the people of the Mi family did not think that Mi Zhen might actually run away by herself, and there was no kidnapping link at all.
After hearing these words, Mi Zhu took a deep breath and didn't say anything.
It should be that this situation is not strange, or he should have expected it a long time ago, he can even imagine that in fact, Mi Zhen is very likely to have left by herself, and there is no kidnapping plot at all. But there is no way to say all this, not to mention that everything has not been covered yet, and his judgment may not be correct.
And as long as Mi Zhen didn't run away by herself, things didn't come to the point of no return.
It's just that...
Soon, Mi Zhu's idea was shattered, because after a while, someone had already run out, still holding a letter in his hand, saying that it was found under Mi Zhen's pillow.
To be reasonable, under normal circumstances, such a thing cannot be seen in the open, at least it should be seen in private, especially when Mi Zhu has begun to suspect that Mi Zhen actually ran away by herself. If the contents of the letter are known, if it matches Mi Zhu's guess, then the Mi family will become a laughing stock.
It's a pity that he can't do this, because Liu Bei is by his side...
Anyway, Liu Bei is also engaged to Mi Zhen, and he is not an outsider, not to mention that Mi Zhen is equivalent to her fiancée, Liu Bei is at the scene at this time, how could Mi Zhu not show Liu Bei? Of course, he can also do this, but the result of this is that there will be a gap between him and Liu Bei, which is definitely something Mi Zhu is unwilling to do.
As a last resort, Mi Zhu could only open the letterhead and let Liu Bei and his two brothers, along with himself and Mi Fang, read it together.
As it turned out, the above was exactly what he had guessed.
Mi Zhen is from her own family, and she was not taken away at all...
However, the most terrible thing is that Mi Zhen actually wrote clearly on it, she is going to Qingzhou to join Yan Shao...
Today's Qingzhou and Xuzhou are already hostile forces, no matter how close the relationship between Mi Zhu and Yan Shao was in the past, the two families can only be old and dead in the future. And after being taken away from a county, Liu Bei's relationship with Yan Shao was very complicated.
And now, his unmarried wife actually wrote in the letter that she was going to Qingzhou to find her opponent...
Without mentioning Mi Zhu, Mi Fang secretly glanced at Liu Bei's face next to him with her eyes, and found that Liu Bei, who could maintain a smile no matter what the situation, had completely disappeared from the smile on her face...
"Now, things are going to be in trouble..."
As if sensing the anger coming from beside her, Mi Fang lamented.
