Chapter Seventy-One: The Boss Is Missing
Lin Shuran looked down and found that the panicked crowd was like frightened beasts at this time, all rushing in the direction of Dengchuan Tower.
Because the Lei family did not close the door of the building at this critical moment, but let the family guard the entrance and exit, and let the people in in an orderly manner to avoid the delay, so everyone regarded this place as a safe place, and the desire to survive made them desperately come in this direction.
Even if Lin Shuran goes downstairs now, she will be blocked by the crowd that comes in, so Lei Yingying is right, she can't go down at all now.
"Sister Ran, I know you are worried about those children of the Xu family, but now your safety is equally important, don't worry, my eldest brother and General Xu have gone out, there are still guards and horses in this city and people from the capital mansion, I believe it will be controlled soon, this is the capital after all!" Lei Yingying forcibly pulled Lin Shuran to sit down on the side, knowing that she was concerned and chaotic, but staying here now was the best way to choose.
Lin Shuran also knew that what Lei Yingying said was right, and soon several teams of people appeared and began to maintain the chaotic order, and there was also news from the teahouse that Xu Minghao and they were all safe, so Lin Shuran didn't have to worry.
After a while, Xu Junze also sent someone over to tell Lin Shuran that Xu Mingye and they were all safe, but Xu Mingchen and Lei Yan hadn't found the two of them yet.
"Sister Ran, don't worry, it won't be okay with Lei Yan to follow, don't look at his heartless appearance, in fact, that kid is very good, and his martial arts are also high, it must be two people who have found a safe place to hide!" Lei Yingying was not worried at all, and hurriedly comforted Lin Shuran and said.
Lin Shuran nodded, she also believed in Xu Mingchen, that child has always been cautious and old, and he should not let himself be in danger.
Soon, the chaos caused by the crowded stampede was controlled, Xu Junze and Lei Zhanpeng came forward to lead the troops to control the chaos, and the other was responsible for appeasing the frightened people, and the two of them were also working together for the first time, and they were very harmonious and tacit.
After the outside calmed down and the people of Dengchuan Tower went out and returned home in an orderly manner, Lin Shuran also saw Xu Minghao and Xu Mingye, and saw that they were all right, so he could really feel at ease.
"Hasn't your eldest brother come back yet?" Lin Shuran let the children get into the carriage first, there was no way to continue watching the lanterns, it was also very late at this time, she had to take these children home quickly, but Xu Mingchen didn't come back for a long time, and she was still very worried.
"Sister Ran, otherwise you take the children back first, and when your eldest comes back, I will let someone send him back, or maybe he is home now, you go back first!" Lei Yingying also beat a drum in her heart, it is said that Lei Yan is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter, why didn't he come back with Xu Mingchen?
Lin Shuran nodded, with the Lei family and Xu Junze here, Xu Mingchen should be able to find Xu Mingchen soon, maybe it is really like Lei Yingying said, Xu Mingchen has already gone home first.
However, when he returned to the house and asked, he realized that Xu Mingchen had not come back at all, Lin Shuran first appeased Xu Mingye and Xu Minghao, and specially asked people to hang two more lamps at the gate, and even told the little man guarding the door to tell her as soon as Xu Mingchen came back.
Seeing that when he passed, he beat the drum of the fourth watch again, but he hadn't heard Xu Mingchen's news, and even Xu Junze hadn't come back, Lin Shuran was even more anxious.
Chunxi saw that Lin Shuran couldn't sit and lie down all night, and her own young lady really regarded the young masters of the Xu family as her own children, so she accompanied her.
Fortunately, Lin Shuran didn't let him wait too long, Xu Junze came back with Xu Mingchen, and seeing that Xu Mingchen was unharmed, Lin Shuran had a smile on his face.
"It's the child's fault that the mother is worried!" Knowing that Lin Shuran had been worried about himself, Xu Mingchen was full of guilt and uneasiness, Lin Shuran's worry and concern for him made him seem to think of his deceased biological mother, and the anxious and caring look in their eyes was exactly the same.
"Where have you been? Why did you come back so late? Lin Shuran saw that their father and son's faces were not very good, especially Xu Mingchen, who looked very tired, and his eyes seemed to be hiding his thoughts.
Xu Mingchen glanced in the direction of Xu Junze at this time, and saw that he nodded slightly, so he explained to Lin Shuran that he and Lei Yan had been looking at the lanterns, and after the crowd suddenly rioted, the two of them wanted to go back to Xu Mingye and them, but they were taken away by the crowd in the opposite direction.
Later, they were about to take the path back to Dengchuan Tower, but found that a few masked people put Zhao Pei, the little prince of the Qing Palace, in a sack to resist and go, the two of them saw that the situation was critical, so they followed, and then found that the gang threw Zhao Pei into a deserted alley, punched and kicked him, and the posture seemed to beat him to death.
So, he and Lei Yan hurriedly rushed up to save Zhao Pei, and also arrested the gang of beaters and sent them to the capital mansion, but without waiting for torture, the gang recruited, saying that they took someone else's money to do things.
"Those people didn't know that the person they beat was the little prince of the Qing Prince's Mansion, at that time in the yamen of the Beijing Mansion, when they heard that it was the little prince, they were all too frightened to move, and when they asked again, they told the truth, the person they were going to beat was not the little prince at all, but-" Xu Mingchen stopped when he said this, and a look of injury flashed in his eyes.
"And who?" Lin Shuran always felt that Xu Mingchen's expression at this time was wrong.
"It's me! Because it was dark, they mistook the little prince of the Qing Palace's for me, because the two of us were dressed very similarly tonight. Xu Mingchen replied in a low voice.
Lin Shuran felt very strange after hearing this, could it be that Xu Mingchen had offended someone before? So those people take advantage of the chaos tonight to deal with Xu Mingchen? This is not impossible, although Xu Mingchen has never been too troublesome, but in the past, these children of the Xu family have not offended people openly and secretly!
"Is there a trial of the mastermind behind the scenes?" Lin Shuran asked again.
Xu Mingchen shook his head, but he thought that the Beijing Mansion and the Qing Prince's Mansion would investigate the case as soon as possible, after all, Zhao Pei, the little prince of the Qing Prince's Mansion, was beaten by those people and his nose was swollen, but for some reason, he seemed to have a premonition that he had guessed who the person who was going to kill him was, but he had completely nothing to do with them, and they didn't let him go?!
Lin Shuran saw that Xu Mingchen looked tired with a heavy heart, so he stopped asking about it and asked him to hurry back to his room to have a good rest.
After Xu Mingchen left, Xu Junze had already changed into court clothes, there was chaos in the city last night, and the emperor asked people to pass on the decree, and this morning the civil and military ministers had to enter the palace early to discuss matters.
"I have instructed my subordinates, there are no guests in the house today, you have a good rest at home, I will go to the palace!" Xu Junze left in a hurry.
Lin Shuran didn't say a word to him, last night's chaos happened too suddenly, and there were many people, thinking that there would be casualties, and she had no intention of sleeping, who was going to hurt Xu Mingchen?
