033, bad news

Wenwan bought a bite of crispy and osmanthus cake at a pastry shop called "Qinxiangyuan", and wrapped it in oil paper.

The umbrella was erected outside the shop door, and raindrops flowed down the top of the umbrella, and a small piece of water stain was dyed on the bluestone floor.

It was still raining outside at this time, and the ground was covered with water, which was wet.

She carried snacks in one hand and umbrella in the other, and walked towards the study not far ahead.

Song Wei also selected ink and paper in his study.

...

Lu Yanqing drove away the young men who were chattering in his ear just now, stood by the window and looked out, and suddenly a beautiful figure broke into his sight.

The woman wore a light green spring shirt. Although the fabric was not high-quality, she couldn't hold back her beautiful figure. Through the rain and fog, the face under the oil-paper umbrella became more and more hazy.

The traffic in the town is not large, and even the rain makes many people close their doors and stay in the house and are reluctant to come out.

On the quiet street, she walked slowly, and the oil-paper umbrella above her head looked like a white mountain tea blooming, which was eye-catching.

Lu Yanqing narrowed his eyes and turned around and walked downstairs.

...

When he arrived at the entrance of the study, Wen Wan put away the umbrella and gently swung the raindrops on it. He saw a young man dressed in wealthy clothes from afar, about twelve or thirteen years old coming here.

He didn't hold an umbrella and walked in a hurry.

With almost no hesitation, Wen Wan immediately turned around and entered the bunk, took Song Wei's hand and walked out.

In the sudden premonition, the young man would let his men force her to take her away later, and Song Wei was seriously injured because of saving her.

Wen Wan doesn't know this person, but since she has a bad premonition, the other party must be no good. The couple are just ordinary people, and they can't afford to offend these powerful people, so they can only hide.

Song Wei had just picked up the paper and ink pieces, but before he could pay, Wen Wan pulled him out. He looked puzzled, "What happened?"

Wen Wan clenched his wrist with her small palms and prevented him from folding it back. In addition, the other hand was carrying the wrapped snacks, which was inconvenient. She could only point to the oil-paper umbrella standing on the door panel with her eyes, intending to let him pick it up.

Song Wei bent down and pulled up the oil-paper umbrella to open it.

Wen Wan didn't want to stay and explain it to him, and directly pulled the man and walked in a direction that was contrary to the young man.

Lu Yanqing came over in the rain, but ended up empty-handed. He turned to look at the couple who had already walked away and frowned.

If he hadn't thought that woman looked familiar, he wouldn't have run over to look for her in the rain. Unexpectedly, she would have let her run away!

——

Wen Wan stopped after leaving this street and entering an alley where she could shelter from the rain.

He looked at Song Wei next to him. He was afraid that she would be wet to the rain just now, so he covered most of the umbrella on her head. Now his left shoulder was already wet.

Wenwan hurriedly used her sleeves to wipe him.

Song Wei grabbed her hand and said no.

Wenwan was worried that he would get sick after being in the rain.

Song Wei smiled and said, "I have a strong body, not that fragile."

After saying that, thinking of her unusual behavior just now, I couldn't help asking: "Why did you suddenly pull me away?"

Wen Wan smiled shyly and lied that she thought the shop was too expensive and could buy it again.

"Tell the truth?" Song Wei looked at her with a faint smile, with the charm of a mature man in his smile.

Even though he shared his bed with his bed every night, Wen Wan still blushed and her heart beat faster.

Seeing her embarrassing look, Song Wei's smile became stronger and he did not pursue her "loss of composure". He really changed his shop to buy cheaper ink and paper, and then the couple went to the town school to visit Song Yuanbao together.

——

Lu Yanqing returned to the private room and quickly ordered the servant to burn hot water to take a shower.

As soon as the man took off his wet clothes and soaked in the bathtub, he heard one of the people he had driven away just now. After pushing open the door, he anxiously said to the person behind the screen: "Little Marquis, the mine has completely collapsed, and all the workers in the cave have been buried."

Lu Yanqing is a second-generation ancestor who is walking sideways in the capital. Although he has suffered from human life, he is all humble slaves from humble origins. This is the first time he has encountered such a large-scale dead person.

After all, Mr. Lu is only twelve years old, and his experience is destined to be unable to afford the ability of an adult.

Therefore, just as he finished speaking, his face turned pale.

Cheng Fei didn't hear the response for a while, and he was even more nervous and asked, "Little Marquis, what should I do now?"

Lu Yanqing took a deep breath and asked with deep eyes: "How many people died?"

Cheng Fei shook his head, "I rushed over immediately, I don't know yet."

Lu Yanqing thought for a while and said with a harsh expression: "Anyone who is confirmed to be buried will be crossed out of the roster and a recreated roster will be created, leaving only the names of the living."

Cheng Fei was so scared that his legs became weak, "Is the little marquis trying to have a death without evidence?"

Lu Yanqing sneered, "As long as I don't admit it, those dead people have never worked under my hands, and their death has nothing to do with me."

"If they want to sue the government..."

"If Ningzhou Prefect and County Magistrate dare to take care of this matter, just wait to pick the black shisha!"

Cheng Fei thought about it carefully and felt that the little marquis was right.

The Dahuanshan Coal Mine itself is a violation. If the magistrate of Ningzhou and the county magistrate of Pingjiang County dare to accept this case, once the trouble broke out, the court will definitely hold them accountable first. When the scoop is too big, the two of them will only be able to take advantage of it.

——

It rained and the road was muddy and slippery.

It was already evening when Song Wei and his wife returned home from the town. Not only did the rain stop, but it was getting heavier.

Although they were wearing straw raincoats when they were riding in the ox cart, they were still half wet and went back to the house to change their clothes as soon as they entered the door.

Song Fang prepared supper and placed dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen.

The closed courtyard gate was suddenly slapped, and the sound seemed even more panicked and urgent under the rain curtain.

On the west room, Song Wei was still changing his clothes.

Wenwan saw that no one came out to open the door, so she opened the umbrella and ran over. When she opened the door, she saw that the person standing outside was her father, and she was stunned.

Wen's father was soaked all over, and he was covered with yellow mud from head to toe. He didn't know how many times he had fallen along the way. He looked so embarrassed.

Wenwan hurriedly pulled her father into it. If you have any questions, you should take a hot shower and change your clothes first.

But Wen's father stood still, with a weight of a thousand pounds under his feet, his eyes were extremely red, and his face was bleak.

"Wanwan, Dad, I'm sorry for you." He rubbed his face and choked up and said, "I took the initiative to come to the mine where your father-in-law went, but I didn't expect that the coal mine was illegal. After we went there, there was no such thing as fifty-degree work a day.

Those grandchildren did not treat us as human beings at all. If anyone did the work slow, they would serve him. Your father-in-law and I were both older people. How could we bear such a day and night work? Last night I discussed with him and prepared to find a chance to escape secretly, but I didn't expect that something happened in the mine early this morning, your father-in-law..."

Wenwan's face changed drastically, she grabbed Wen's father's sleeve and signaled him to finish his words.

"The mine collapsed, your father-in-law... didn't come out."

As soon as Wen's father finished speaking, he heard a "clang" sound. At some point, Mrs. Song, who had brought a basin of water, stood behind, and the basin fell to the ground.
