Chapter 8 The Crisis Is Approaching

The back of the Xiao Mansion is where the rulers of the Xiao family live.

Passing through the picturesque pavilions and water pavilions, through the doors, you will come to the depths of the Xiao Mansion. Here, the main people living here are Xiao Lian's family and those clan elders.

Xiao Shuo hurriedly walked through the path paved with jade slabs and came to this place. He looked up at the two guards guarding the back house in front of him and said, "Xiao Shuo has something important to report to the patriarch, please ask the two brothers to make it convenient." ”

These two guards are full of energy, their eyes are sharp, and they give people the feeling that their cultivation is not weak. A smile appeared on the guard on the left and said: "Commander Xiao is tormenting the little brother, who doesn't know that you are usually valued by the patriarch, and please ask the commander to mention it more often." ”

Another person also said: "What's more, the head of the house said that you can go to the head of the house at any time during the day without notifying." It can be seen that you are the most trusted confidant of the head of the family, and we will need you to take care of it in the future. ”

Xiao Shuo smiled and waved his hand: "Brothers, where are you talking about this, we are both on an errand in the Xiao Mansion, so we should work together, and the safety of the Mansion on weekdays is still labor, brothers." ”

While the three of them were laughing, Xiao Shuo had already entered the back house, and he didn't look at the surrounding scenery, but walked straight to a house. At this time every three days, Xiao Shuo would come here to report the situation to Xiao Lian.

Xiao Shuo walked to a room, and before he could knock on the door and speak, a voice had already come from inside: "Xiao Shuo, come in." ”

Xiao Shuo was taken aback, thinking in his heart that the cultivation of the master of the family was getting more and more advanced, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

In the past, he also followed Xiao Qing, and after Xiao Qing showed signs of regression in his cultivation, he decisively changed hands to Xiao Lian, and it was for this reason that he became one of the first people to follow Xiao Lian, so he was deeply valued by Xiao Lian.

While his mind was turning, Xiao Shuo didn't dare to delay, and raised his feet and entered the door.

This is a very luxurious room, all kinds of rare treasures are placed in various positions in an orderly manner, there are several calligraphy and paintings on the wall, the brushwork is vigorous and powerful, the painting is full of meaning, it is the painting master Zhang Yun himself. The whole room shows the strength of the owner everywhere.

In the deepest part, a row of bookshelves stood by the wall, and no one could have imagined that this was such a luxurious study room without seeing this full of books!

There was a table and chair in front of the bookshelf, and a person was frowning and thinking about the book in his hand at this time.

He is a tall man, and when he sits there, he can feel a momentum emanating from him, and anyone who looks at it will think that he is a character.

Xiao Shuo bowed to the middle-aged man, lowered his head and said, "Patriarch, my subordinates have something important to report today." ”

The middle-aged man was Xiao Lian, he sat on a chair covered with the fur of foreign beasts, nodded to Xiao Shuo and said, "Say, how has it been in the past few days?"

Xiao Shuo didn't look up, and said cautiously: "Family master, I still haven't found any place in Su Lun's house where I can hide things, I guess it may be that he is hiding somewhere else, or carrying ...... with him."

After saying some of his guesses, Xiao Shuo opened his mouth to say something, but he was a little hesitant.

"Say whatever you want! It's been so long, and there's no progress at this time, and that little bastard is there for a day, and I'm not comfortable for a day!" Xiao Lian frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Home...... I feel that Suren has sensed something, and from the reaction of his maid, I can feel that she is trying her best to avoid mentioning Suren to me. Suren seems to have known our purpose. ”

"Hmph! the little mongrel is quite guarded!" Xiao Lian's eyes were gloomy, "The heirloom of the Xiao family has disappeared since Xiao Qing died, and I have been searching hard for the past two years, and now I finally have some clues, but I was discovered by the little mongrel." ”

"Xiao Shuo, since he has noticed something, you have been going less recently, now you hurry up and go to the Wanyun Chamber of Commerce, according to Miss Yan Er's news, Yan Ziyun doesn't know about this matter yet, you go to the Wanyun Chamber of Commerce now to find the Wang in charge of the warehouse, remember not to let Yan Ziyun find out, after getting there, let him find a way to take out the things first, it will change later!"

"Head of the family, why didn't we just take it back and force Su Lun to open it?"

Although Su Lun is powerless, he is scheming, and he will not give me things directly, and we still need him to expand the family business, and it is not good to directly extort a confession from him. That's why I set out to ask you to investigate, and who knew that you hadn't asked for anything for so long, but instead let him find out. ”

"Originally, if we could get the key smoothly, we could start the plan with Miss Yan Er, but now we may need to think about it in the long run. Thinking that if the plan failed, the reward that Miss Yan Er promised would also be in vain, Xiao Lian's face became more and more bad.

Xiao Shuo noticed Xiao Lian's emotions, and the cold sweat on his head flowed down at once, but he knew that the person in front of him was ruthless, although he was good to him, but it was also on the basis of his ability to do things, and now if he spoiled his big things, he must have absolutely no good fruit to eat.

"The head of the family, the subordinates will go here, and at the same time, they will also pay close attention to Su Lun's movements. Please also ask the head of the family to give his subordinates a chance!" Xiao Shuo's somewhat trembling voice showed the turmoil in his heart.

"Hurry up, do a good job for me, it's more of your benefit, if you cheat and play tricks, hehe......" Xiao Lian squinted and looked at Xiao Shuo.

"The subordinates don't dare, don't worry, the subordinates will definitely do their best to serve you!" Xiao Shuo listened to Xiao Lian's tone and didn't mean to punish him, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly assured.

Then, he didn't dare to stay, bowed, and hurried out of the study.
