Chapter 182
When Butler Cao heard the news of Huo Zhirou's return, he quickly ran out of the study. When he really saw Zhan Lingqing, his old tears burst into tears.

"Little Miss, you are finally back."

Huo Zhirou looked at the elder who was loyal to the Huo family in front of him, tears filled his eyes, and he hadn't seen each other for almost two months. Butler Cao's hair turned gray a lot because of the bad things about the Huo family, and he was also getting old How old.

Huo Zhirou saw that Steward Cao was going to salute her, so he quickly helped Steward Cao up with both hands, and said to Steward Cao, "Uncle Cao, get up quickly, these days, I really worry you."

"The old slave is all right, Miss, Eldest Young Master, have you found Eldest Young Master?" Butler Cao said anxiously.

Just the day before yesterday, Steward Cao was called by the magistrate. When he saw the dead body of Li Guanshi, his face turned pale with fright. A few days ago, he received a letter from Huo Jiancheng, saying that he brought Guanshi Li back to deal with the Huo family. In order to prevent implicating Huo Zhirou in the matter of being smashed, Huo Zhirou was asked to stay in Yuanmen temporarily, but now, an accident happened to Huo Jiancheng and his party, Li Guanshi was killed, but Huo Jiancheng's whereabouts are unknown.

These days, Butler Cao couldn't sleep because he was worried about Huo Jiancheng.

When Huo Zhirou heard Steward Cao's question, with tears in his eyes, he shook his head and said, "I haven't found my brother yet."

After Huo Zhirou finished speaking, he sobbed.

Yuan Bohan on the side watched Huo Zhirou cry again, stepped forward to hug her, and comforted her in a low voice.

Seeing the intimate behavior of his young lady and Yuan Bohan, Butler Cao's eyes flickered. The relationship between the eldest lady and Yuan Bohan seems to be a little closer, and the strength of Yuanmen might really be able to help find the eldest young master.

Thinking of this, Butler Cao couldn't care less about Huo Zhirou's intimate behavior with Yuan Bohan at this time, and then he stepped forward and bowed deeply to Yuan Bohan, and said, "Master Yuan, I beg you to save my young master." !"

When Yuan Bohan heard Steward Cao's words, he cast his eyes on Steward Cao, and replied kindly: "Don't worry, Steward Cao, Yuan will definitely try his best to find Mr. Huo."

Steward Cao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Yuan Bohan's assurance. With Yuanmen's help, he hoped that the young master could be found soon.

When Huo Zhirou heard Steward Cao's voice, thinking of Yuan Bohan's embrace of her at this time, the two of them were intimate, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She put her hand on Yuan Bohan's chest, and gently pushed him , distanced himself from Yuan Bohan.

Yuan Bohan felt Huo Zhirou's movements, and frowned at her dissatisfiedly, but seeing Huo Zhirou's red ears at this time, he immediately understood, and a smile flashed across his eyes.

Huo Zhirou coughed a few times to hide her embarrassment at this moment, and said to Steward Cao: "Uncle Cao, how is your family?"

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Butler Cao shook his head helplessly, and replied: "Nowadays, there are rumors in Jincheng that the Huo family has offended people who shouldn't be offended. Many people in Jincheng keep a distance from Huo's house. The servants are also panic-stricken, these days, many servants have wrapped up their packages and ran away!"

When Steward Cao said this, he changed his helpless expression, revealed anger on his face, and said through gritted teeth: "These guys, the Huo family usually treats them well, but now that something happened to the Huo family, they want to escape! It's just a dream! The few people captured by the old slave locked them in the woodshed, and when you come back, Miss, I will deal with them properly!"

When Huo Zhirou heard Steward Cao's words, he sneered and said, "It's understandable to fly separately in a catastrophe! Uncle Cao, if these servants who escaped were not slaves of the Huo family, according to the Huo family's rules, Huo family can't afford to kick out such a servant with different intentions after hitting the board!"

"Yes, Miss!" Steward Cao nodded upon hearing Huo Zhirou's words.

"As for the slaves of the Huo family who want to escape for their lives!" Huo Zhirou's eyes showed evil spirits, he really thought that the Huo family was easy to bully, he was being bullied outside, and the house was still unstable!
"It's up to you to deal with it according to the Huo family's rules!" Huo Zhirou said bitterly.

The Huo family's family rules, the slaves of the family betrayed the master, and they were sent to the quarry to work for nothing. They will die there for the rest of their lives. Compared with death, the torture of life is more painful.

Steward Cao nodded when he heard Huo Zhirou's words, "I know, I will do it right away. Miss, you rushed all the way back. The old slave has already ordered his servants to clean up your yard. You should have a good rest."

Huo Zhirou sighed silently, she didn't have the time to rest at this moment, and said to Steward Cao: "Uncle Cao, go get busy!"

"Yes!" Uncle Cao responded and left.

"I have something to do when I go out, let Yuan Yin serve you by your side, don't leave the house until I come back, you know?" Yuan Bohan said to Huo Zhirou after Steward Cao left.

Hearing Yuan Bohan's words, Huo Zhirou nodded, grabbed his hand, and said, "Be careful when you go out!"

Yuan Bohan patted the back of Huo Zhirou's hand, looked at Yuan Yin who was standing aside, Yuan Yin bowed to Yuan Bohan, and said respectfully: "Don't worry, the servant will take good care of Miss Huo. "

"En!" Yuan Bohan nodded, turned around and walked away...

Yuan Bohan left the gate of Huo's house, and the guard beside him said respectfully: "Master, do you want to take a carriage?"

"No need!" Yuan Bohan abandoned the carriage and planned to take a walk in Jincheng. The atmosphere in Jincheng at this moment feels much less popular than it was a few months ago. The people in the city are all cautious and cautious. Influenced by the Huo family incident.

Seeing this, Yuan Bohan frowned immediately. The Huo family is the richest man in Jincheng, and the Huo family was smashed. Logically speaking, the impact on ordinary people is not too great. Why does it always make him feel that something is wrong? ?Did something else happen in Jincheng that he didn't know about?

At this moment, Yuan Bohan stopped in his tracks, looked at a corner not far away from the corner of his eyes, and a bloodthirsty sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. There are people who are not afraid of death!
Yuan Bohan continued to walk towards the Feihe Tower, such idiots would naturally be dealt with!

"Master!" The steward of Feihe Tower had already received the news, and was waiting for the master's arrival at the gate.

"En." Yuan Bohan responded lightly, and after sitting down in the main seat in the hall of Feihe Tower, he asked in a faint voice: "During this period, apart from what happened to the Huo family, what else happened in Jincheng?" occur?"

The steward heard Yuan Bohan's question, and immediately said respectfully: "Go back to the master, after the Huo family's accident, the Ji family became the largest merchant in Jincheng, and the Ji family raised prices in Jincheng, and even joined forces with other merchants in Jincheng to boycott Yuanmen."

"Ji family..." Yuan Bohan's eyes sank when he heard the steward's words, "Is there a problem?"

"Ji's eldest son, Ji Junchi, is now in the capital, and met Leng Tianji from the Leng family." The steward informed Yuan Bohan of the good news.

"Leng's family, hum!" Yuan Bohan snorted coldly when he heard the steward's words. The Leng's family is Si Haoran's natal family. Could it be that this guy is not being honest and stretched out his hand to Jincheng again? He really never forgets this Feng Ling!
Feng Ling...

Yuan Bohan frowned. He didn't tell Huo Zhirou about this matter. He wanted to hide it from her, but now it seems that it won't work. Feng Ling is a disaster for the Huo family. Once the court knows that the Huo family has The Feng Ling of the Empress Yuan is not a good thing for the Huo family!
"Did outsiders break into the Huo family recently?" Yuan Bohan asked after pondering for a while.

"Yes!" The steward replied affirmatively, "There will be some guys who tried to break in in the middle of the night, and we caught them. Unfortunately, the moment they were caught by us, they all committed suicide by taking poison."

He committed suicide by taking poison again, and Yuan Bohan's face sank like ink. This time, Yuan Bohan felt that the hidden hand behind him was hiding too deeply. This terrifying conspiracy was not only aimed at the Huo family, but also at the Yuanmen!

"Master, I personally inspected these men who took poison, and there is no trace of traces on their bodies, not even a mark." The steward showed a distressed expression on his face.

When Yuan Bohan heard this, he pursed his mouth tightly and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Huo Jiancheng, is there any news about Situ Fan?"

"Small incompetence, there is no news yet!" The steward knelt down and replied with a face of shame.

Yuan Bohan heard the steward's words, gusts of cold wind radiated from his body, and the temperature in the hall dropped to freezing point in an instant.Yuanmen always wanted to find someone, but they could find them in three days, but now after so long, there is no news at all!

"Crack!" Yuan Bohan patted the armrest heavily. At that moment, the armrest of the chair broke in two. Seeing this scene, the steward in front of him turned pale with fright, as if the armrest was his head. Generally, bursts of cold sweat break out on the back.

"Go down, send people to continue searching! Also, find some trouble for the Ji family. Since he has found the capital, you don't have to be polite. I'll see how many chess pieces there are in Jincheng." Yuan Bohan was cold. He ordered to the steward in a calm tone.

When the steward heard Yuan Bohan's order, he quickly said "yes", and then exited the hall to handle errands. When he got out of the hall door, the steward's legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground. After digging the ground three feet, he must find Huo Jiancheng, otherwise he would be in charge. It really might break his head off!

"Master!" After the steward left, a man in black came out and said respectfully: "Master, I have caught the guy who was secretly following you, removed his jaw, and found the poison from the gap between his teeth." , and now his subordinates are interrogating him."

"En." Yuan Bohan heard his words, and said in a faint voice: "Be sure to pry something out of his mouth!"

"Yes!" The man in black heard Yuan Bohan's order, responded and disappeared into the hall.

Yuan Bohan rubbed his aching brows, if it was really the words of the imperial court, they would really force Yuanmen to rebel!
Yuanmen, don't just sit around and wait for death!
But at this time, Yuan Bohan didn't know that the secret guards he sent to monitor Helian Guanyu were dealt with by Helian Guanyu. Helian Guanyu looked at the man in black lying in the pool of blood, with an indifferent smile on his lips. smile.

"My lord, the city ahead is Jincheng. After receiving the news, Yuan Bohan rushed back to Jincheng with Huo Zhirou." An Wenchang said to Helian Guanyu in a low voice.

"Oh?" Helian Guanyu raised his eyebrows, "What happened?"

"A major event happened to the Huo family, and Huo Zhirou's elder brother disappeared." An Wenchang replied.

Helian Guanyu touched his chin, with a slightly regretful smile on his face, he sighed softly and said, "I have to sleep in the wilderness again tonight! Yuan Bohan, why are you moving so fast! "

When An Wenchang heard Helian Guanyu's words, he bowed his head respectfully, and did not answer. In the carriage not far away, Caixia's white fingertips were tightly grasping the curtain of the carriage, her face pale and frightened. Looking at the scene outside, the body trembled...
