Chapter 32

Xiao Nianyou said with a trace of pride: "Since I have already been framed here, why didn't I go and see who framed it. Butler, the Xiao Mansion operates as it should. Don't panic, go and tell Old Master Xiao, this young master is not Something will happen!" Xiao Nianyou smiled calmly, without any panic.

Du Zhongheng stomped his feet heavily, and hurriedly ran to the inner mansion.The nurses are still keeping a close eye on the people in the government, causing the pressure on the people in the government to double.

The leader's heart is wide open, if Xiao Nianyou refuses to be arrested, it will be really difficult. Fortunately, Xiao Nianyou is not confused, and his words and deeds make him think better.

After Xiao Nianyou was arrested, the Xiao family was in chaos immediately. It was not as good as what Xiao Nianyou explained, how can the chaos be maintained if a backbone is pulled out?Perhaps Xiao Nianyou is too unaware of the influence he has on others in the mansion.

After hearing Du Zhongheng's announcement, Mrs. Xiao couldn't sit still for a long time. She seemed to be a few years older in an instant, and her waist seemed to be even more bent when she was leaning on crutches.

Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly sent someone to inquire, and hearing the news of the inquiring, angrily pointed at the ground with his crutches and shouted: "Go and tie Wang Hu here!"

Wang Hu's whole body was tied tightly with ropes, like a house crab waiting to be sold, unable to move.All the servants carried Wang Hu like a crab, and threw him down in front of Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao looked at Wang Hu who was kneeling on the ground. With his dark skin and wearing a coarse black dress, he suddenly looked like a black crab.

Old Mrs. Xiao looked at the crab, but couldn't smile at all, and his eyes burst into flames: "What is the reason, please tell me clearly! If you don't explain clearly, be careful, I will kill you!"

"Old man! It's the little one who didn't think well. I didn't expect to cause such a big disaster. It's the little one who made a mistake. The old man should punish the young one! Send the young one to the government and replace the young master!" Although Wang Hu said he was grateful Lin Fei's kindness is willing to help Jingyuan, but she still has feelings for Xiao's family, especially the kindness of knowledge.

What Wang Hu said was so sincere that even Mrs. Xiao's anger could not help being extinguished by three points.In fact, Wang Hu had thought of leaving at first, but he believed that Jing Yuan always had her reasons for doing so. He believed in his heart that Jing Yuan would not be so cruel to the Xiao family, and Linger was the eldest daughter of the Xiao family.Therefore, Wang Hu did not leave, but took the initiative to admit his mistake, and of course he would not confess Jing Yuan.

Mrs. Xiao raised her eyelids and said in a deep voice, "Slowly explain the matter clearly."

Wang Hu explained in detail how there were so many people in the morning, and later he listened to Guanshi Liu's suggestion in order to save time in queuing.Wang Hu directly asked Liu Guanshi to remove the official grain so that he could open the door for business earlier.I originally planned to use the private food here to make up for it, but I never thought that such a thing would happen just after leaving the warehouse.

Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but frowned deeply after hearing this: "Wang Hu, Wang Hu, you have always been the most careful and prudent, why did this happen! You don't know if this is stealing official food, or it is an official helping Yitian City. Liang, is this such a big crime? Is it worth it just to save so much effort?"

Mrs. Xiao suddenly felt something was wrong as he was talking. It was such a coincidence that the officers and soldiers from Guanshi Liu's branch arrived at the Town God's Temple just after he arrived.If this is the case, then there must be a reason. Is it someone who is jealous of the status of the richest man in the Xiao family's capital and intends to smear or have other plans?
In addition to finding someone to go there, Mr. Xiao also supervised it himself. The old fried dough sticks for many years made him realize the seriousness. He was going to report the rice grains he had gathered to the emperor, lest the number of the emperor's kisses be wrong, let alone the incident involving so many people. Life and death, if Xiao Nianyou's head is cut off in anger or even the Xiao family is sealed up, then the whole Xiao family will really lose everything.

The emperor was drinking tea when he heard the report, and after listening to the description of the kneeling officials in the capital, he angrily smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces: "Xiao Nianyou is rich and unkind, stealing and selling food for relief officials, he should be punished for his crime!" It seems that the image of Xiao Nianyou has suddenly faded in his heart, this is life-saving official rations, he Xiao Nianyou dared to put his hand on the official rations.

Li Xiao, the official who reported, knelt on the ground, not daring to argue, his head was covered with sweat.Someone reported that the Xiao family was selling official food, and what he said seemed to be true. He immediately sent officers and soldiers to investigate and deal with it. Sure enough, the real people got the stolen goods, but he also knew that Xiao Nianyou was a celebrity in front of the emperor, so he entered the palace without making decisions. Miansheng asked the emperor for a ruling.

Seeing that the emperor didn't say a word, Li Xiao risked his life to say a word because of his 30-year friendship with Xiao Su, and said, "The Xiao family and Xiao Su have already collected all 30 tans of rice."

The surrounding palace people were even more silent, fearing that they would accidentally offend Longyan and lose his head.The air was tense and suffocating as if frozen.

At this moment, Princess Linghua strolled over, came outside the palace, and quietly asked the eunuch who served the imperial court about the emperor's situation.

The eunuch standing in front of the door frowned and reminded in a low voice: "Princess, don't go in, the emperor is angry right now. Wouldn't it be possible for you to go here and hit the head of anger?"

After hearing this, Princess Ling Hua frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know why the Emperor is angry?"

The little eunuch looked around and whispered: "I heard that the Xiao family stole and sold the official food for relief, the emperor was furious and wanted to chop off Young Master Xiao's head."

After hearing this, Princess Ling Hua's brows relaxed, and she was secretly happy, she came at the right time, but her face was indifferent, but her eyes were full of confidence: "Understood, don't worry, I have my own way! Hurry up and report to the palace."

Princess Linghua's confident tone made the eunuch suspicious for a long time, but the rules of handling affairs in the palace had already formed the eunuch into the habit of being careful and self-protecting. He looked down at the emperor's boots, waiting for the emperor to show them off.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and was slightly displeased, the timing of Princess Linghua's request for an audience was really wrong, his eyes were very cold.

The little eunuch who passed on told his grandpa to beg his grandma from the bottom of his heart, glanced at the silent emperor, and even doubted whether he had come by mistake, he shouldn't have the courage to pass on for Princess Linghua.

The emperor glanced at the faint figure of Ping Ting outside the hall, he frowned and whispered: "What is she doing here at this time?"

"Perhaps there is something urgent, Your Majesty! Princess Linghua seldom seeks out His Majesty on her own initiative!" The chief eunuch Xiao Zhuozi bowed and said softly.

He could remember the last time in Princess Linghua's Palace of Yongfu, Princess Xiao Muling, Princess Fengying called him Uncle Xiaojiuzi kindly, but he was so happy from ear to ear, even though later he personally told Princess Fengying not to call him like that , because she is a princess, how can he, a eunuch, bear this title.

But Xiaozhuozi is used to the hypocrisy in the palace, and the innocent and lovely Princess Fengying's call from the heart made Xiaozhuzi suddenly find the feeling of being a human being. For a person with a complexion, this feeling is really good, and it makes him happier than winning a silver reward.

Princess Fengying personally fed him the fruit. Holding the fruit in her soft and waxy hand, she ate one for herself and fed Xiaojiuzi one. Princess Fengying's eyes were full of smiles. The voice said: "Ling'er eats one, and Uncle Xiaozhuzi eats one. Uncle Xiaozhuzi eats it quickly, it's so sweet!"
