The Queen's Guide to Wealth

Chapter 90
The man wanted to think about it, but the decisions of the masters, how can a small person like him make irresponsible remarks.

The sky was gloomy and snow was about to fall. The man quickened his pace, but the old man couldn't keep up.

"Slow down, old man, I can't keep up."

The man stomped his feet: "It's really troublesome. After a while, it will snow and the road will be even more difficult."

Sure enough, not long after I walked forward, the snow fell, and it was so white that it even covered my sight.

If things continued like this, the man was afraid that the three of them would get lost in the wind and snow. Seeing a forest ahead, he wanted to take shelter first.

When they walked into the forest, they realized that they were not the only ones who came here to escape the wind and snow.

I saw six or seven people dressed as servants and servants who had already set up a shed to cover the snow, lit a fire and gathered together to keep warm.

The old people surrounded by them have gray hair and well-dressed clothes, either rich or expensive.

The man didn't want to have anything to do with them, so he picked up some dead branches in the forest and lit a fire not far from them.

The old man was none other than Xie Xian who was sent away by Xie Qiming in the morning.

It stands to reason that Xie Xian set off early in the morning, and the carriage he was riding in should not have appeared here even if there was a snowstorm.

But Xie Xian, as the head of the Xie family, has controlled the Xie family for decades. If he hadn't voluntarily delegated power to Xie Qiming, how could Xie Qiming have taken over the Xie family in such a short period of time.

Xie Xian's original intention was to hand over the rights of the Xie family to Xie Qiming, and he only had to think about how to help Jinbo ascend to the throne.

He always felt that Xie Qiming was weak, and he was a good hand in business, but he was still clueless about politics.

It is an indisputable fact that I am old, and I no longer have more energy, and I care about everything like before.

But he never expected that his elder brother changed his temper, and by the time he wanted to take back his authority, it was already too late.

Regarding Xie Qiming's change, Xie Xian couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, it turned out that his son was not weak.

It's just that it feels a little uncomfortable to treat his own father like this.

If he didn't want to leave, there were plenty of ways, but being trapped in the capital by his own son, there was really nothing he could do.

How about doing what Xie Qiming wanted, leaving the capital and having more room to play.

So when Xie Xian left the capital, the first thing he did was to contact people and inquire about Jinbo's whereabouts.

Only when he finds Jinbo can he proceed with his next plan.Coincidentally, it snowed, so I went into the woods to rest.

As soon as the man lit the fire, a man who looked like a servant came over.

Throwing a leather wine pouch to the man: "My master gave it to you to warm you up."

The man didn't want to pick it up, he hated this man's condescending attitude, but the old man next to him picked up the wine bag, bowed his head and thanked him repeatedly.

The servant said with a bit of arrogance: "My master called you to go and answer."

Without raising his head, the man snapped off the thick wooden stick with a "click" and threw it into the fire.

He said in a muffled voice, "No."

The servant let out a "tsk", thinking to himself, taking the things and not showing face, the ordinary people also raised their airs, and was about to explode when the old man next to him came forward.

"I'm very honored, I'm very honored, let's go now, don't keep the master waiting for a long time."

The child coughed heavily, and the old man gave the man a look of "Don't worry", and followed the servant.

Xie Xian was very approachable, he didn't put on airs, and learned that the old man was a native of the village outside the city.

Then he asked about the princess's gang. The old man is also a smart person, and he knows about the affairs of the village, so it's best not to discuss it with outsiders.

He said something half-truthful, a secret that most people know, Xie Xian saw that he couldn't find any useful information, so he stopped asking.

However, the old man seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, and began to talk about trivial matters to Xie Xian endlessly.

Xie Xian drank bowl after bowl of good tea, which made Xie Xian a little annoyed.

Until the old man mentioned how dangerous it was to escape from the capital today from a disaster.

When Xie Xiancai learned that such a major event had happened in the city, he immediately became worried, and managed to maintain calm. Wouldn't all previous efforts be in vain?
Qiming insisted on sending me out of the city at this time, did he know that such a thing would happen in the capital?

Xie Qiming, who was informed of this, also looked confused at the moment. He knew that the city gate would be locked and the tax burden would increase.

But such a serious stampede accident happened, and so many people were killed and injured, she never expected.

At this moment in Xie Qiming's study, Jin Xi was anxiously waiting for his response.

Rescuing the wounded requires a lot of medicinal materials, and resettling these people also requires a lot of supplies. Now, except for the Xie family, no one can afford these things.

Xie Qiming regretted that he did not agree to the conditions of the three officials last night.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was responsible for this disaster, and he finally understood that the astrologer and Nanzhu were not omnipotent, some unexpected emergencies, even if they were as strong as Xinghui, they would be helpless.

He called Xie Zhong who was on the side, and took Jinxi to prepare medicinal materials and collect supplies.

The snow fell harder and harder, and Jin Xi was sent away. Xie Qiming stood in front of the window, and couldn't help worrying about Xie Xian, who had set off early in the morning.

It's almost a day's journey to Qiyue Town. With such a heavy snowfall, nothing should happen.

He wanted to send someone to chase after him, but he thought that the city gate was locked, and it was such a snowy and windy weather, so he simply forgot.

It was getting dark, and the snow still had no intention of stopping. Those who avoided the wind and snow in the woods had no choice but to spend the night in the woods.

Xie Xian has two carriages, and when he goes out, he brings a complete set of things. Even in such a snowy weather, it's okay to spend the night in the woods.

The three people in the village were in a bit of trouble. In such weather, the three of them might freeze to death in the woods before tomorrow morning.

With his life at stake, the man still lowered his head and followed the old man to Xie Xian's camp, at least he survived a cold night.

Early the next morning, although the snow had lightened, it still had no intention of stopping.

The man went out of the woods to explore the road, and the snow had already reached his knees. Let alone the road, there was a vast expanse of whiteness at a glance, and nothing could be seen.

Xie Xian and his party were also trapped. In such weather, it was difficult to walk, let alone a carriage.

The situation in the capital was not much better. Many believers who came to participate in the sacrifice came from all over Dayou.

After experiencing a catastrophe like yesterday, exhausted physically and mentally, and having nowhere to eat and shelter, after a blizzard last night, many people did not die in the stampede, but froze to death in the blizzard.

Many houses in the capital city were also temporarily built on the ruins. After a night of wind and snow, many of the weaker houses had collapsed.

Many people, again, have nothing and are homeless.
