One hundred and thirty-five chapters, I invite you to dinner
Chapter 135, I’ll treat you to dinner
Hua Youxian also knew that it was difficult to get out of here on foot, and it would be easy to be overtaken if he ran away along the road, so he hid in the dense forest next to the mountain road, planning to wait until dusk and take the opportunity to climb onto a truck transporting ore. The truck hid in the ore pile and left the deep mountains.
It should be said that he had been very cautious and his escape was very successful. However, he did not expect that Boss Xiang could react very quickly and could catch up with him in the deep mountains and forests. He chased him all the way up the mountain. Hua Youxian did not escape after all, but he was very lucky. I met You Fang and others.
Although Hua Youxian was scared, he could still keep his composure at the moment. He hunched his neck and hid between You Fang, Taoist Qianbei, and Shen Shenyi, and briefly told what happened, although he couldn't introduce all the details in a short time. , but things are clear enough.
You Fang was expressionless, but looked at Hua Youxian with sympathy and admiration in his eyes. The child's situation was indeed very pitiful, but he was definitely a smart, independent-minded person who knew how to tolerate. Maybe his parents were too honest. He didn't teach him much, so he suffered a big loss the first time he came out to enter the world. Fortunately, he didn't accept his fate and tried his best to break free, and almost succeeded.
It can't be said that he was almost there. Although he was caught by Xiang Tianhua again, he happened to bump into You Fang and others. He had succeeded. Next, it was Xiang Tianhua and related people who were unlucky!
No one said a word. Taoist Qianbei looked at Xiang Tianhua with eyes like two invisible sharp knives. Xiang Xiaoli's expression was almost like pork liver that had been frozen in the refrigerator for three days. This Songhegu who had just ascended the throne The door owner asked in a calm, soothing, low and inexplicably depressed voice: "Xiang, Tian, Hua, are these all true?"
The cold sweat on Xiang Tianhua's face had dried. He wanted to escape, but in front of so many experts, there was no hope of escape. So many eyes were like knives, as if he was standing in an invisible hail of bullets. Xiang Xiaoli did not get angry. The tone was very calm and gloomy, making people feel frightened. This meant he had murderous intentions.
He was already confused, and at this moment he said something that was perhaps the most inappropriate thing to say in the world: "Second uncle, please calm down. Uncle Zuohu also knows about these things, but the secret magic crystal is in short supply, and he did not blame me. Yes. He has taken away many crystal stones, and in the past six months, fellow Jianghu disciples have exchanged quite a few privately with me. Someone is here, can't you stand up and say something for me?"
Xiang Xiaoli and Xiang Yinghua shouted at the same time: "How dare you!" At this time, a figure rushed out and stopped in front of Xiang Tianhua. It was Xiang Xiaoli's son Xiang Fenghua. He opened his arms and advised: "Father, cousin, please Calm down your anger, if you kill Tian Hua right now, you won’t be able to explain it to Xiang Jia!”
Xiang Tianhua's words undoubtedly admitted that what Hua Youxian said was true, but he dragged Xiang Zuohu and Jianghu colleagues into it. How could Xiang Yinghua and Xiang Xiaoli not be angry? At this moment, they had murderous intentions. If Xiang Fenghua had not stopped him, he would have been killed on the spot. Then there would be no way to verify what he said, and it would be even more unclear. If word spread, it would definitely be a bigger scandal.
You Fang watched coldly and could tell that this matter had nothing to do with Xiang Yinghua or Xiang Xiaoli. These two people had no knowledge at all, otherwise Hua Youxian would not have the chance to tell the truth. Transfer Hua Youxian from Xiang Tianhua The person who grabbed it was Xiang Xiaoli, and the first person to ask questions was Xiang Yinghua.
Seeing that Xiang Tianhua was trying to shirk the blame and actually involved his long-missing father, Xiang Yinghua couldn't believe that Xiang Zuohu was no longer around. No matter how much he swore at people, he couldn't defend himself, and he almost killed someone in anger.
Xiang Xiaoli's anger had a deeper meaning, and he was not sure whether Xiang Zuohu had anything to do with it.
If Xiang Zuohu has nothing to do with this, then Xiang Tianhua is talking nonsense. If Xiang Zuohu does know, it is impossible to publicize it to anyone. Now that Xiang Tianhua says this, dirty water is not only poured on Xiang Zuohu, but also Xiang Zuohu.
Instead, he insults the entire Songhe Valley Xiang family, and then bites fellow Jianghu comrades in order to protect himself. If he just names a few names, this matter will become a big deal, and the Xiang family will offend all the major sects in the Jianghu sect!
Xiang Xiaoli could clearly distinguish what was minor and what was serious. At that moment, he really wanted to kill someone and silence them, but his son Xiang Fenghua stopped him and reminded him not to be impulsive. Killing someone on the spot would be more troublesome.
Xiang Xiaoli took a long breath, slowly put down his raised hand, and said something as calmly as possible: "Xiang Tianhua, it's not enough that you brought it upon yourself, your heart is too sinister... If there are any fellow Jianghu people who have ever been there,
The exchange of crystal stones for you here is just a normal interaction. It is no different from buying and selling in the world. It has nothing to do with this matter. Please don't mention it again... Fenghua, if he dares to mention it for personal use again,
Any comrades Cai Jingshi has made friends with will be killed immediately!"
Xiang Xiaoli made it clear that mining crystals is one thing, but the method of mining crystals is another. It seems that Xiang Tianhua secretly mined a lot of crystals and did not hand them over to Songhe Valley, so he secretly and
The Jianghu comrades must have made some deals to benefit themselves. If there are any Jianghu comrades offering Tian Hua any benefits in exchange for crystal stones, it has nothing to do with what Hua Youxian said, so don't get involved.
This was just a normal exchange, but it didn't sound good to say it at this time, so Xiang Xiaoli gave his son an order. If Xiang Tianhua mentioned this again, he would be killed immediately!
Then he bowed to You Fang Chang and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Rand. If you hadn't accidentally drunkenly drunk today, you almost let this beast deceive you. Not only would the evil deed be unstoppable, but if something happened in the future, I, Songhe Valley, would also have a say."
It’s hard to say. Since it’s you who asked, please continue to ask.”
It's better this time. In order to avoid suspicion, Xiang Xiaoli still let You Fang do this hard work. On the surface, he was very grateful. It's not easy to ask, and you don't know who you might offend if you are not careful. You Fang didn't ask Xiang Tianhua.
, continued to ask Hua Youxian: "Little brother, why didn't you call for help when you saw us just now? Even if you can't speak, just wink."
Hua Youxian couldn't figure out who these people were, and couldn't quite understand what they were saying, but he understood who was protecting him. He answered You Fang's questions, pointed a timid smile and said, "I
I heard the boss call him uncle, so I thought you were all in the same group."
You Fang continued: "You misunderstood. This uncle is a good person. You escaped. How many workers are still locked up there? We need to rescue them all."
Hua Youxian: "There are still twenty-eight people. I asked, and they all have learned the craft of masonry. They mentioned this requirement when they recruited workers. My father is also a mason, and I have learned the craft since I was a child."
At this time, Xiang Yinghua suddenly interrupted, walked over and said softly: "Little brother, don't be afraid. Not only do we want to save you, but we also want to thank you. Can you answer me a few words? Where are you being held?
How long did it take, how many treasures did the bad guy find in total, and what were they like?"
When he saw that this elder sister was so beautiful and kind, and she just wanted to help him, Hua Youxian told the truth. He was trapped in the canyon for fourteen months, during which time he asked the boss for a total of
He picked up twenty-three treasures. Although he didn't know the specific names, an expert could understand them from his description.
In these fourteen months, the workers in the mine mined a total of seventeen tungsten crystals, three black tungsten crystals, one silver coral, one fluorite, and one swallowtail twin crystal. Hua Youxian
He has a very good memory, and this was the only major event in his life during this period, and he described it very clearly.
Xiang Yinghua frowned and said: "In the past fourteen months, if I remember correctly, Xiang Tianhua only handed over thirteen tungsten stones from Songhe Valley. Except for that mine, there are already tungsten stones produced in this mine.
Black tungsten crystals are occasionally seen every one or two years, and the number turned in is probably consistent with the past. It seems that all the crystals mined in the mine were intercepted by Xiang Tianhua privately... Today something happened suddenly, Xiang Tian
Hua is not prepared and needs to carefully search his residence in the mine."
Xiang Xiaoli nodded and asked: "Comrades, how should we deal with this beast?"
Everyone didn't say anything, but still looked at You Fang intentionally or unintentionally. Since he was the one who took the lead, he should be the one to the end. It was not appropriate to say anything at this time. Xiang Xiaoli also looked over with questioning eyes, and You Fang could only force himself.
He nodded and said: "In my opinion, if you abolish your cultivation, report the case to the police, and let the police investigate, no one will have anything to say."
This kind of suggestion really makes people speechless. Whose business is their business? It involves a major and vicious criminal case, and there are still three foremans and twenty-eight workers in the mine who need to be rescued. How to punish, how to
Compensation, who else is involved? Too many people are involved, and it is not appropriate for Xiang Xiaoli to handle it privately. If Xiang Xiaoli is really candid, then the matter should be left to the public security.
Some people nodded, while others frowned. Handing it over to the police was also a troublesome matter, because ordinary police officers couldn't understand what Xiang Tianhua wanted to do by tricking these workers back and digging for those worthless crystal stones? You Fang added a few more words at the right time:
"Large pieces of monolithic mineral crystals have been very popular in the collectible and ornamental market in recent years. Good ones in good condition are very valuable. In addition, I heard that there are black-hearted brick kilns in other places that specialize in tricking ignorant teenagers into doing coolies, so it is possible that they appear in the mines.
... People who should be saved must be saved, people who should be arrested must be arrested, and things that should be taken care of must also be taken care of."
These words may sound incomprehensible, but they are actually reminding Xiang Xiaoli and letting the police understand the motive of committing the crime. In fact, no matter what the motive is, it is this kind of behavior that should be punished, let alone mining crystal stones, no matter what the purpose and benefits are.
None, you should be shot if you do such a thing!
After saying this, he suddenly turned to Taoist Qianbei and said, "When we met in Hongbin Industrial Park, we thought it was already dark, but we didn't expect it!"
Taoist Qianbei didn't bother with this. He raised the gourd and took a sip of wine and said: "Between gain and loss, the heart of the Tao must be guarded."
Xiang Xiaoli's expression was gloomy, and he finally sighed and said: "Fenghua, you should destroy Tian Hua immediately. I will take the initiative to call the police to Xiang Jiaying and order people to sneak into the canyon and keep an eye on that place without disturbing anyone. No matter what, I will punish you."
Those who deserve to be punished, rescue those who deserve to be saved... My comrades, this matter is an insult to the family tradition of Songhe Valley, and I am extremely ashamed of Xiaoli! I will deal with it according to Mr. Rand's words. I have no partiality, please.
Everyone, please be a witness."
Shen Shenyi advised: "Uncle Xiaoli, there is a big tree with dead branches, so you don't have to be too ashamed and angry. Listen to the child's story. This matter was done very secretly. How did you know about the filth before it was exposed? Today Mr. Rand accidentally spoke up and cleared the door of Songhe Valley in public to clear your name. Otherwise, if it were leaked and spread in the future, it would be really hard to say or not."
Xiang Xiaoli once advised Shen Shen Yi in this way, but now he has come back again. It is not appropriate for others to speak, but Shen Shen Yi is the only one who can say this. Don't forget that he came here because of Sun Fengbo's murder.
Xiang Fenghua then escorted Xiang Tianhua into a car, followed by several Xiang family disciples, and drove two off-road vehicles down the mountain. Everyone on the mountain could see clearly that one of them was running out of the mountain at the fork in the road. , another car entered the canyon.
Everyone stood on the mountain without leaving, silently waiting for something. After waiting for three hours, they could hear the siren coming from the road below while holding their breath, and then saw Xiang Fenghua's car leading a few people. A police car rushed to the entrance of the canyon, and out of the car were not only criminal policemen with pistols, but also armed police soldiers with live ammunition. This scene was really quite big!
Everyone just watched silently. At this time, Hua Youxian came to You Fang and asked weakly: "This kind-hearted brother, I don't dare to stay here anymore, can you send me away first? I will be grateful for the rest of my life. Your great kindness."
The child has also noticed that he offended a rich and powerful family. It seems safe at this moment. If he falls out later, who knows if he will be retaliated against? Who can guarantee that Xiang Tian Hua's associates will be retaliated against? Is there no fish that slipped through the net? It seems that You Fang is a trustworthy person and he keeps his word. He wants to take advantage of the opportunity and leave quickly. This mentality is completely understandable.
He thought his voice was very low, but he was surrounded by experts with keen senses, and almost everyone heard it. Xiang Yinghua suddenly spoke, and first said to Xiang Xiao: "Second uncle, if we talk about personal and physical evidence in this case, "That's enough. You can let the kid go. He's scared." He then turned to You Fang and said, "Mr. Rand, can I ask you to send him away from Suichuan together?"
Before You Fang could answer, Hua Youxian had already knelt down with a plop and kowtowed: "Thank you, my benefactor, brother, and thank you, the fairy sister! I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life, and I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity!"
It’s not surprising that he calls You Fang his benefactor, but it’s interesting to call Xiang Yinghua the fairy sister. The name Yueying Fairy is not entirely false. In the mind of this strange country boy, she is this kind of person. image.
Xiang Yinghua waved his hand, but of course he couldn't let him knock his head to the ground. He said apologetically: "Little brother, you don't have to thank me. In fact, my surname is also Xiang. The boss Xiang you mentioned is my cousin, and we are I feel sorry for you!" You Fang had already pulled him up easily.
…
You Fang was still driving, with Xiang Yinghua sitting in the passenger seat and giving directions, and Hua Youxian sitting in the back seat. Although it was on a bumpy mountain road, You Fang's car was driving very fast this time, as if he was flying in a fighter jet. It feels like the dozens of kilometers of road out of the mountain are very difficult to walk, but after merging into a highway, the road conditions are much better. It takes about two hours to enter Suichuan County, and it is already the beginning of the lights.
You Fang lent his mobile phone to Hua Youxian in the car and asked him to call his parents and make an appointment to meet somewhere. Hua Youxian cried and chatted on the phone. The agreed place was somewhere in Chenzhou. He
Asking his parents to wait there, he rushed there himself overnight.
After finally making the call, Youfang reminded Hua Youxian to tell his parents to turn off the phone immediately and stop contacting the outside world. Xiang Yinghua suddenly asked: "Hua Youxian, Xiang Tianhua promised to give you wages, how much do you still owe? One by one,
It’s all figured out.”
Hua Youxian counted on his fingers. The basic salary was one thousand and fifty per month. If he found a piece of treasure, all the workers would be rewarded one thousand each. The one he found would get another two thousand. Half a year later, Xiang Tianhua would give him a salary increase.
It was five thousand. Not counting the screening work, Hua Youxian found eight "treasures" with his own hands. In addition to the twenty thousand he had already asked for, after all calculation, he should still owe him sixty-eight thousand yuan.
Xiang Yinghua parked the car on the side of the road. At this time, the bank was closed, but the ATM could still withdraw money. It was troublesome to find an ATM to withdraw 68,000 yuan one by one. Xiang Yinghua took it
After getting the money, he returned to the car and handed it to Hua Youxian, saying: "Although it's not my fault, I have a responsibility to my family. This money can't compensate you for anything, it's just the wages you deserve."
You Fang watched from the car and sighed secretly. This amount of money cannot really compensate for the suffering Hua Youxian has endured, but it has nothing to do with Xiang Yinghua. So what if she doesn't give it? Hua Youxian wants it for himself.
Go and not go to the police to testify and recover compensation, which is actually equivalent to giving up. But Xiang Yinghua still settled the "wages" according to Hua Youxian's own words, without even saying a word. As for being beaten by Hua Youxian,
The 20,000 that he spent leisurely will be regarded as having been received, so it will be calculated by him.
After collecting the money and walking a short distance, You Fang also stopped the car and bought a pair of shoes, a pair of pants, a belt, a coat, a hat, and a travel bag in a mall on the roadside.
Hua Youxian changed his clothes, then watched him divide the money into several piles and put it away carefully.
We were supposed to have dinner, but Hua Youxian was not in the mood to eat. You Fang bought him a few meat buns and put them in his bag, and watched him get on a long-distance bus passing through Suichuan and heading to Chenzhou.
Only then did I let go of one thing on my mind.
Before getting in the car, he whispered to Hua Youxian in his ear: "On the phone just now, I heard that your home is in Wanxian County, Chongqing, but your parents are working outside, so go to another place and continue working, and don't stay after we meet.
Leave Chenzhou immediately, and there is no need to rush back to your hometown. You are a smart boy, and I don’t need to explain why. Although there may be nothing wrong, it is better to be cautious."
Hua Youxian left, and You Fang turned to Yinghua and said, "I'm deeply grateful for what happened to Sun Fengbo, and I admire you very much for what happened today! I haven't eaten anything since morning. Can I treat you to dinner?"
I heard that the local specialty of braised pig’s feet in earthen pots is good, so since I’m in Suichuan, I’d like to try it.”
There was so much fuss during the day that no one had lunch. It was already dinner time, and You Fang actually had the leisure to taste Jiangxi specialties. Xiang Yinghua wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he agreed and did not rush to get it.
Treating guests, he nodded lightly and said: "Mr. Rand is indeed thoughtful. Yinghua is also hungry, so thank you for your kindness. Let's go eat."
At this moment, her cell phone rang, but Xiang Yinghua didn't answer it or look at it. When the other party hung up, she turned off her cell phone.
