Chapter 71 The boss is missing

Lin Shuran looked down and saw that the panicked crowd was like frightened beasts, rushing towards the Denchuan Tower.

Because the Lei family did not close the building door tightly at this critical moment, but asked the servants to guard the entrance and exit, and let the people in in an orderly manner to escape, so everyone regarded this place as a safe place, and their desire to survive made them desperately go there.

Coming from this direction.

Even if Lin Shuran goes downstairs now, she will be blocked by the crowd coming in, so Lei Yingying is right, she can't go down at all now.

"Sister Ran, I know you are worried about the children of the Xu family, but your safety is equally important now. Don't worry, my eldest brother and General Xu have gone out. There are also people from the City Guards and the Capital Prefecture in the city.

, I believe it will be under control soon, this is the capital after all!" Lei Yingying forced Lin Shuran to sit aside, knowing that she would be confused if she cared, but staying here now is the best choice.

Lin Shuran also knew that what Lei Yingying said was right. Soon several groups of people appeared and began to maintain the chaotic order. News also came from the teahouse that Xu Minghao and the others were 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 the others were also safe, but Xu Mingchen and Lei Yan had not found them yet.

"Sister, don't worry. You'll be fine if you have Lei Yan with you. Don't look at him as careless and heartless. In fact, that kid is very skilled and has good martial arts skills. The two of them must have found a safe place to hide!" Lei

Yingying was not worried at all and quickly comforted Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran nodded. She also believed in Xu Mingchen. The child was always cautious and mature and would not put herself in danger.

Soon, the chaos caused by the crowding and stampede was brought under control. One, Xu Junze and Lei Zhanpeng, led the troops to control the chaos, while the other was responsible for calming the frightened people. It was the first time for the two to cooperate, and they were in perfect harmony.

After the outside calmed down and the people in 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 fine, and then she felt truly relieved.

"Isn't your elder brother back yet?" Lin Shuran asked the children to get on the carriage first. She couldn't continue watching the lanterns. It was getting very late at this time. She had to take these children home quickly, but Xu Mingchen didn't come back. She

I'm still worried.

"Sister Ran, why don't you take the children back first, and when your boss comes back, I'll have someone take him back. Maybe he's gone home now, so you go back and take a look first!" Lei Yingying also felt nervous.

Gu, Lei Yan is not a careless person, why didn't he come back with Xu Mingchen?

Lin Shuran nodded. With the Lei family and Xu Junze here, they should be able to find Xu Mingchen soon. Maybe it was like what Lei Yingying said, and Xu Mingchen had already gone home first.

However, when he returned to the house and asked, he found out that Xu Mingchen had not come back at all. Lin Shuran first comforted Xu Mingye and Xu Minghao, and then specially asked someone to hang two more lights at the gate, and even told the boy guarding the door to hurry up as soon as Xu Mingchen came back.

tell her.

Seeing that it was past midnight and the drums were beaten again, but there was no news about Xu Mingchen, not even Xu Junze came back, Lin Shuran became even more anxious.

Chunxi saw that Lin Shuran had been restless all night. Her young lady must have really regarded the young men of the Xu family as her own children, so she stayed with them.

Fortunately, Lin Shuran was not kept waiting for too long. Xu Junze came back with Xu Mingchen. Seeing that Xu Mingchen was unharmed, Lin Shuran had a smile on her face.

"It's the child's fault that the mother is worried!" Xu Mingchen was filled with guilt and uneasiness when he learned that Lin Shuran had been worried about him. Lin Shuran's worry and concern for him reminded him of his deceased biological mother. Their eyes were filled with anxiety and worry.

The look of caring is exactly the same.

"Where have you been? Why did you come back so late?" Lin Shuran saw that both father and son looked not very good, especially Xu Mingchen, who looked very tired, and there seemed to be something hidden in his eyes.

Xu Mingchen glanced in the direction of Xu Junze, and when he saw him nodding slightly, he explained to Lin Shuran that he and Lei Yan had been watching the lanterns. After a sudden commotion broke out in the crowd, the two of them wanted to go back to find Xu Mingye and the others, but they were stopped.

The crowd was taken away in the opposite direction.

Later, they were about to take a small road back to Dengchuan Tower, but they found that several masked men packed Zhao Pei, the young prince of the Qing Palace, in a sack to resist taking away. Seeing that the situation was critical, the two of them followed them, and then found that the gang

The man threw Zhao Pei into a deserted alley, punched and kicked him as if he was going to kill him.

So, he and Lei Yan rushed forward to rescue Zhao Pei, and also arrested the group of people who beat him and sent them to the capital city. However, without even using torture, the group of people attacked him, claiming that they had taken someone else's life.

money to do things.

"Those people didn't even know that the person they beat up was the young prince of the Qing Palace. When they were in the Yamen of Jingcheng Mansion, when they heard that they were beating the young prince, they were all too frightened to move. After further questioning, they

To be honest, the person they were going to beat was not the young prince at all, but—" Xu Mingchen stopped here, with a hurt look flashing in his eyes.

"But who?" Lin Shuran always felt that Xu Mingchen's expression was wrong at this time.

"It's me! Because it was dark, they mistakenly identified the young prince of the Qing Palace as me, because we were dressed very similar 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 took advantage of the chaos tonight to deal with Xu Mingchen? This is not impossible. Although Xu Mingchen has never been a troublemaker, these children of the Xu family have also been very bright in the past.

Offend people secretly!

"Can anyone find out the person behind the scenes?" Lin Shuran asked again.

Xu Mingchen shook his head, but he thought that the Beijing Palace and the Qing Palace would investigate the case as soon as possible. After all, the young prince Zhao Pei of the Qing Palace was beaten black and blue by those people, but for some reason, he seemed to have a premonition that they had guessed that they were going to kill him.

Who is this person? It’s just that he has nothing to do with them at all. Why don’t they let him go?!

Lin Shuran saw that Xu Mingchen looked worried and tired, so she stopped asking about the matter and asked him to go back to his room and 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 sent someone to pass the order. All civil and military officials should enter the palace early this morning to discuss matters.

"I have told my servants that there will be no guests in the mansion today. You should have a good rest at home while I go into the palace!" Xu Junze left in a hurry.

Lin Shuran didn't say another word to him. The chaos last night happened so suddenly, and there were so many people, there must have been casualties, and she didn't want to sleep. Who wanted to hurt Xu Mingchen?
