mountain chase

"Jingsheng! Oh my god, Jingsheng! What's going on with you!! Jingsheng..." After leaving the gate, he saw Qiao Shu rushing towards him with a panicked face.

Frowning, Fourth Master Qiao asked, "Who brought her here?" This "she" - of course refers to the second Miss Qiao, Qiao Shu.

Looking at the scene, the guards on one side naturally understood that they violated Fourth Master Qiao's taboo, so they didn't dare to talk too much. They immediately went up to two people, took one with each hand, and got them all into the car.

Along the way, apart from the chug of the car, no one dared to speak. Even Qiao Shu, who was sitting in the car behind, bit her lip with an aggrieved face, not daring to make any more noise.

The car drove back to Qiao's compound.

After getting out of the car, Qiao Hui followed behind Fourth Master Qiao. Although she was the elder of Fourth Master Qiao in terms of seniority, the Qiao family is now headed by Fourth Master Qiao, and her own man was rescued by Fourth Master Qiao. That's why Qiao Hui had some good eyesight, and followed the man into the house obediently.

After closing the door, the butler had been standing in the hall waiting for quite a while. Seeing Qiao Hui behind Fourth Master Qiao, he was just taken aback for a moment, and immediately ordered his servants to send Qiao Hui and Liu Jingsheng to the guest room upstairs. It is respectful and courteous.

Downstairs, Fourth Master Qiao was still sitting in the mahogany chair in the hall. Although his face was still the same as when he first walked in, the butler knew in his heart that Fourth Master Qiao must be fine this time. Very angry.Thinking of this, the housekeeper felt an indescribable effort and grievance in his heart!

His fourth master...how could he be wronged by the Japanese!

Are times really different?

The housekeeper thought about the batch of goods that Fourth Master Qiao was thinking about just now before he left, Fourth Master—is the Dangguo really worth so much for you?

——This idea suddenly popped up in my heart.

The butler wished he could slap himself immediately.Yes, from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and now to the Anti-Japanese War, his fourth master has never been afraid of anything, and has never been moved by anything. That's because, no matter how noisy it is, China will always be in his family matter.But now it is different.

Fourth Master Qiao didn't care about anything in his life, but he couldn't help but care about the land where he was born and raised.

This is the root of the Joe family!

"Sir! Sir, it's not good!" A man suddenly ran in from the back door, stumbling.

"What's the matter? I didn't see Fourth Master here!" Lowering his voice, the housekeeper frowned and asked.

"Japanese! The Japanese don't know where they got the news, and they are going to Wuxi Wharf!" The man was sweating, panting heavily.

"What!" Eyes widened, the butler's voice was unconsciously too high - Wuxi Wharf was the wharf where they transported the goods from Nanjing.This pier has always been under the control of the Qiao family, and there are people dressed as hawkers within a radius of ten miles who have been watching. Now—how could such a thing happen!

"Housekeeper, what's the matter?" Over there, Fourth Master Qiao, who was sitting in the hall, was also alarmed.

"Fourth master!" Hastily walked over, this matter is no small matter, the butler knew that there was no way to solve it by himself. "An accident happened at Wuxi Wharf."

"Huh?" He looked up.

"I heard that some Japanese have passed by!"

Pausing for a second, Fourth Master Qiao said, "Go and bring me Qiao Hui and Wang Min. Also, immediately send a telegram to the person in charge over there, asking him to throw away all the unnecessary things on the ship, so that we can start the ship." How fast can you drive as many blocks as you want.”

"Yes!" Pursing his lips, the housekeeper went out immediately after Fourth Master Qiao finished his orders.

Less than half a minute later, Wang Min quickly walked into the room, "Fourth Master, are you looking for me?" He is the steward of this house, although he is not the housekeeper of the Qiao family, he has experienced everything big and small. of hand.

"Gather all the people in this yard now, and ask them to pack up valuables within 2 minutes, and go as far as they can. You know the warehouse in Qiao's mansion. Leave me five cars in it. For the rest, all the tires were punctured. When they are all gone, you spill the oil from the warehouse on the road coming in from the door, and go too."

Wang Min was stunned when he heard this, but he reacted immediately and nodded solemnly: "This subordinate will do it immediately!" After saying that, he ran out quickly.

"Why, why don't you come over? Big aunt." Raising his eyebrows, Fourth Master Qiao looked at the woman standing around the corner leisurely, "Use my sympathy to save your husband and delay the time, and then find someone to serve it My place, aunt, when my father was alive, I didn't see that you have this ability."

"Little, little Sier..." Looking at Fourth Master Qiao's indifferent eyes, Qiao Hui's legs began to weaken—at this moment, Wang Min had already issued the order, and the entire Qiao Mansion started a riot like never before. .The servants running around, the sound of things being moved made Qiao Hui's heart flutter, "I, I didn't mean it..."

"You didn't do it on purpose, of course I know you didn't do it on purpose." Fourth Master Qiao stood up, "I think Qiao Yanyun has given you a lot of benefits." He thought of his little aunt whom he met at the gate of the police station just now , although that mocking smile was only half, and even though Qiao Yanyun was still afraid of his status, that woman couldn't hide her complacency anymore.

"I, I..." Before she could speak, Qiao Hui was already crying.She actually didn't want to, but Yanyun is her own sister, she begged so hard, what can she do!

But Fourth Master Qiao has no time to pay attention to her now.When the butler came back out of breath, Fourth Master Qiao was coming down the stairs on the second floor. He was holding a small lockbox in his hand, and it arrived in the butler's hand: "The elite talents of Qiao's mansion are ready. , you take it and go to Chongqing first."

"This..." After taking the lockbox, the butler suddenly remembered, "Fourth Master, I'm leaving now, what about you?!"

"I still have things to do. You don't have to worry about it." Withdrawing his hand, Fourth Master Qiao said flatly.He lowered his head, ignored the anxious housekeeper beside him who was sweating, and said to Qiao Hui, "I don't want to take care of your business anymore. Auntie, from today onwards, you and little auntie will no longer be my Qiao family." The person. From now on, you can just do it yourself."

"I..." Staring, Qiao Hui half opened her mouth, she was speechless!She didn't expect that Fourth Master Qiao didn't kill her, but - how would she live after leaving Qiao's house?

"Fourth Master! The Japanese will come over soon, if you don't leave, there will be no hurry!" Regardless of the boundaries between master and servant, the butler grabbed Fourth Master Qiao's sleeve.

"Butler," brushing away the butler's hand, Fourth Master Qiao looked up at the white smoke that had gradually risen from the study on the second floor, "What you have to do now is not to care about me, but to do it well and I'll leave it to you." This thing——" he pointed to the lockbox, his eyes so firm for the first time, "it's what you should do. As for this, just leave it to me."

"Fourth Master..." He couldn't speak anymore.

The housekeeper didn't know what to say to make his fourth master change his mind!

But Fourth Master Qiao didn't give him a chance. He walked out of the main house of the Qiao family. Outside, the well-armed guards of the Qiao family stood upright one by one. Only for the country!
