Chapter Eighty-Six: Top of the List!
"Master Jiang, what should we do with that person named Wu Ping, are we going to use her to hook up-"
Jiang Qiming waved his hand and refused, "No, I know who the person behind her is, you just need to take care of the person and bring it up as a witness when the trial is held in a few days." β
After speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly asked: "How is the situation in the Lu Mansion, is there any news coming out?" β
Hearing this, Steward Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Mrs. Lu has woken up, but my lord, it's not too early now, if you want to visit, it's better to go again tomorrow." β
Seeing the sunset, if you go to visit the Lu Mansion at this time, it will take at least half an hour to go back and forth, plus the skill of speaking, it will definitely be dark when you come back, and there are still a bunch of things to deal with in the mansion at the moment, the game has just ended, and Lord Jiang will definitely not be able to bear it if he is so busy.
"No need, prepare the wagon and supplements, I'll go and see it now."
The master spoke, and the subordinates couldn't reverse it, Steward Zhao followed Jiang Qiming's instructions to arrange everything, and watched the carriage staggering away.
Unexpectedly, the young girl turned out to be Lu Li's wife, and she had offended her by not knowing Mount Tai before, I just hoped that she would never hold a grudge, Steward Zhao secretly prayed in his heart.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Lu Mansion, Jiang Qiming got out of the carriage and walked straight to the inner courtyard under the leadership of the little servant. The bedroom was brightly lit, and he was led by the maid into the outer room outside the bedroom to wait.
After a while, Xia Wanrou came out first, and then Su Xiaoman was helped out by his subordinates, and when he saw him coming, he first saluted, "Master Jiang, you are here." β
Su Xiaoman's face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and he was supported by the maid, as if a gust of wind could blow it down, Jiang Qiming couldn't bear it when he saw it, and hurriedly got up to apologize: "Mrs. Lu, yesterday's incident was my housekeeper's incompetence, which made you feel wronged." β
"It's fine." Su Xiaoman sat down, covered his handkerchief and coughed lightly, his voice was a little hoarse: "Did Master Jiang find out about the embroidery?" The emperor didn't blame, right? β
Without waiting for Jiang Qiming to speak, Xia Wanrou on the side couldn't sit still, "Xiaoman, when is this coming, don't think about these messy things!" If I had known, I shouldn't have let you participate in this competition, it would have been a waste of time and trouble, and now I still ......."
As she spoke, Xia Wanrou's eyes turned red again, and she almost cried again.
Who would have thought that just participating in the last competition, he would be able to make such a big noise, if he hadn't arrived in time that day, what kind of situation Xiaoman would have encountered, Xia Wanrou didn't dare to imagine at all.
Seeing this, Jiang Qiming sighed and ordered someone to send the supplements he brought, "Mrs. Lu, you are so restive, I will come to visit after the matter is clear." β
Xiao Man hurriedly got up, "But right awayβ"
"Mrs. Lu, I already know about this matter, you don't have to worry about it anymore, I will handle it." Jiang Qiming interrupted her, as if he deliberately didn't want Xia Wanrou to know about this matter.
Su Xiaoman was stunned, then nodded, and didn't ask more.
Seeing that the time was not early, Jiang Qiming put down the tonic and left, Xia Wanrou took her hand and whispered for a while, and went back after a while.
Early the next morning, Xiaoman shouted that he wanted to go out to the west of the city.
She didn't suffer much damage, she was just too tired before, plus the summer heat, so she lay down for so long, and now she woke up, and learned that today was the day to announce the noun, how could this Xiaoman still sit still.
Pearl wanted to persuade, but Xiaoman insisted on going her own way, and Jade was also lobbying on the side, so she agreed so vaguely.
The three of them rode in a carriage, and in order to ensure safety, they took four more small servants, and the group went from the east of the city to the west of the city.
In the morning, the large market in the east of the city had not yet dispersed, but because of the name of the land mansion on the carriage, the pedestrians on the street gave way one after another, and the road was smooth.
When I arrived at Jiang's house in the west of the city, the sign at the gate had already been blocked, and Xiao Man got out of the carriage with Pearl's hand, and walked towards the crowd with joy.
"Madam, if you want to know the noun, just let us come, why go out in person, there are a lot of people outside, in case the push and shove hurts you, what can we do." Pearl chattered worriedly.
Jade pouted and complained, "Pearl, we're all out, what are you still talking about, disturbing the nature of Madame." β
"I'm also doing this for the good of my wife, do you see it, there are so many people, do you want my wife to squeeze in to see it?" Not to be outdone, Pearl replied.
The two of you said a word to me, but Xiao Man didn't seem to hear it, she excitedly shook off the pearl's hand, and got into the gap in the crowd with her waist, but the two girls behind her didn't notice it.
The notice board surrounded the three layers inside and three layers outside, Xiaoman finally squeezed in, she followed her name from bottom to top, and finally found herself at the highest place, she couldn't hide her joy, "I'm the first!" β
The people around him shouted with envy or jealousy, Su Xiaoman blushed embarrassedly, looking at the three words "Su Xiaoman" that ranked first on the list, a heart in his chest almost popped out.
It would be nice if Lu Li was here, and he could celebrate the good news with him, but it's a pity that Lu Li is far away in the north now, and he doesn't need to know how the man is now, and how long this battle should take to end......
Su Xiaoman was distracted, and was suddenly pushed, she hurriedly turned around, and was about to reprimand, but saw a small-scale riot break out behind her.
"Hey, hey, hey! The people in front of you are ready to leave after reading it, don't get in our way! β
"That's it, the people in front of you go away, don't get in the way!"
"Don't crowd the people in the back, the signs are going to fall!"
"Don't squeeze!"
I don't know what's going on, there are suddenly more people around the billboard, people are crowded, for a while this person's feet are stepped on, and for a while that person's hat is squeezed away, everyone complains, Xiaoman is blocked in the middle of the crowd, his feet have left the ground, and there is no way to get out.
The tip of Xiao Man's nose was sweating, and the pearl and jade were still waiting for him outside, if they couldn't see him for a long time, they would be anxious, but now......
She looked at the few more big men around her, and wanted to hide back in fear, but there were so many people, she could only be dragged by the flow of people in the direction of the big man, and there was no way to retreat.
And those big men with fierce eyes, their eyes staring directly at Su Xiaoman, they knew that they had bad intentions at a glance.
Xiao Man gritted his teeth and dragged the clothes of the people behind him to hide back, but the big men were still approaching, they were tall and mighty, and they were not affected by others at all, seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Xiao Man was getting more and more anxious.
She couldn't help but raise her voice and shouted, "Pearl! Jadeite! β
It's a pity that the crowd is crowded, the complaints are louder and louder, and Xiaoman's voice is almost drowned, she looks at the big men in panic and helplessly, her hands and feet are weak, and a lot of cold sweat comes out.
Closer, those people got closer and closer, as if they could drag Su Xiaoman over as soon as they stretched out their hands.
Su Xiaoman bit her lip tightly, and she was still unwillingly retreating, but those people came too fast, and the cold sweat on Xiaoman's forehead kept dripping, and she had no time to wipe it, so she could only retreat with all her might.
Suddenly!
Xiao Man is empty!
The person who was standing behind her was suddenly carried away by the flow of people, she was overjoyed, she didn't care about the sinister smile of the big man, she didn't care about calling for help to Pearl and the others, she hurriedly turned around and ran out of the crowd desperately, rampage to the crowded place.
At the time of the big gathering, most of the people in the city went to the east of the city, and now the streets in the west of the city are sparsely populated, Xiaoman has been injured before, and now he feels out of breath after just running a few steps, and his temples are yin and yin pain, and his vision is a little blurred.
"Give me chase! Don't let her run away, or you'll all die!" β
There was a man's roar behind her, Xiao Man hurriedly turned around, but saw that the big men had already caught up, she panicked, she didn't know what she tripped under her feet, and almost fell to the ground.
"Chase!"
The group of people was getting closer and closer, Xiaoman ran helplessly on the street, and the people passing by just hid aside in fear when they saw this, and they had no intention of saving Su Xiaoman at all.
She was even more desperate, her steps became heavier and heavier, Xiaoman gritted her teeth, and had to look around, trying to find a place to hide.
Just when Su Xiaoman was desperate and anxious to cry, the smell of food suddenly wafted in front of him, and the sound of Xiao Er's send-off.
"Guest officer, it's delicious, you can come again next time~"
Is that! Baiwei Zhai!
Su Xiaoman suddenly felt hopeful, and the steps under her feet were not as heavy as before, she bit her lip and accelerated her pace, and rushed into Baiwei Zhai regardless of the big man before the big man caught up with her.
"Hey, did you come alone, guest officer? You eatβ"
Before Xiao Er finished speaking, Xiao Man gasped and interrupted, "You're quick... Go to the Wei Mansion and invite Lord Wei Xiuyuan to come! You go! β
Xiao Er was a little confused: "Guest officer, you don't have to eat when you come to Baiwei Zhai, let me go and ask Lord Wei to do something?" β
Xiao Man was so tired that she almost collapsed to the ground, she tugged on Xiao Er's sleeve and frowned anxiously, "I don't have time... I don't have time to explain to you, you hurry, go quickly! Afterwards, I will thank you very much! β
Money can make ghosts grind, as soon as Xiao Er heard that he was rich, where could he still care about greeting guests, he helped Su Xiaoman to the chair on the side and sat down, and ran away without looking back.
Not long after Xiao Er ran away, the door of Baiwei Zhai was kicked open, and several big men broke in with hideous faces, and they hurriedly glanced at the diners who were eating in the hall, but they didn't see Su Xiaoman's figure.
The leader commanded angrily: "Search for me!" Gotta find that little slut for me! β
"Yes!"
Several big men got the order, lifted the table and threw stools to find it, and the diners who were eating were naturally dissatisfied, but because of the fierce appearance of the other party, no one dared to step forward to stop it.
