Chapter 53 Accident
The wedding of the Wei and Xiao families was extremely grand. The Wei family prepared a lot of gifts for Xiao Qinghe, which took up five cars. Together with the accompanying maids and guards, the team was quite large and attracted many onlookers along the way.
The crowd was too crowded and a woman was squeezed out. As luck would have it, she bumped her head against the Wei family's carriage and died with blood all over her head. A group of people ran out and surrounded the Wei family's carriage, shouting that human life was indiscriminate.
The noise was so loud that more and more people gathered to watch, and the two adjacent streets were so congested that traffic was impassable.
Qingshu briefly recounted what he had learned and whispered, "Sir, the road ahead is blocked. Do you want to try another route?"
"Um."
After getting permission, Qingshu immediately turned the car around.
Shen Qingyuan's expression in the carriage was somewhat serious, and Chunxi immediately sensed something was amiss.
Both the Wei and Xiao families are prestigious families with great reputations. Moreover, today is the important day when Xiao Qinghe returns home. If something unexpected happened, they would definitely pay a large sum of money to settle the matter peacefully and would never delay their business. Could it be... that someone is deliberately causing trouble?
Just as this thought came to mind, there was a sudden commotion outside the carriage, and Qingshu shouted, "Sir, something bad has happened."
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage was stopped abruptly.
Chunxi couldn't help but lift the curtain and look back.
The crowd that had just been eager to squeeze in to watch the excitement was now running out like crazy.
Because of the panic, many people fell to the ground, but the people behind them continued to run out. The originally wide streets were suddenly blocked by the flow of people, and some people were even trampled underfoot and wailed.
It will kill people!
Chunxi's face changed slightly. She turned her head to talk to Shen Qingyuan, but Shen Qingyuan had already got off the carriage.
"Qingshu, protect the young lady."
After leaving these words behind, Shen Qingyuan strode forward against the flow of people.
"Sir, I'll go with you!"
Qingshu was about to jump off the carriage when Chunxi grabbed his belt and pulled him back: "Why are you going? At a time like this, of course we need to find help and rescue people!"
Chunxi said this and slapped the horse's butt, and the carriage immediately made a way through the chaotic crowd.
Qingshu hadn't gotten used to Chunxi's identity yet, and his eyes widened: "You..."
"Don't be so fussy, just go to Jingzhao Prefecture and call as many people as you can."
As he was speaking, the carriage had already arrived at an open area. Chunxi pushed himself up with both hands and jumped off the carriage.
Qingshu screamed, "Young Madam!"
Chunxi rolled over to relieve the force and stood still, waving at him: "I'm going to the clinic to find a doctor, let's go our separate ways."
Qingshu: “…”
No, you should at least let me be mentally prepared. I was almost scared to death by you just now!
Chunxi was quick on his feet and quickly gathered together the doctors and waiters from several nearby clinics.
She asked the doctor to bring a lot of gauze and trauma medicine, and rushed back to the place where she had just been. Those who could run had already run away, and those who could not escape were all sitting on the ground wailing in pain.
The further you go in, the more shocking it becomes.
There was constant wailing in the teahouse closest to the accident site.
This teahouse was right in front of the Wei family's carriage. When they heard that someone had died, many people rushed into the teahouse to watch the excitement. Later, the crowd rioted, and these people tried desperately to get out of the teahouse. However, the door of the teahouse was so small that after someone fell, the crowd was blocked here.
In the end, people were pressing down on each other, layer upon layer. Everyone stretched out their arms, wanting to leave this place, but they were pinned down by the people around them and could not move.
The person pressed underneath had turned pale and was no longer breathing.
The originally leisurely and peaceful teahouse has become a hell on earth.
The doctors and servants following Chunxi all changed their expressions.
If the young woman had not paid some medical fees in advance, they would not have come with her. How could a riot happen at the foot of the imperial city?
But the scene before them made them feel cold all over.
What's going on?
Could it be that some traitor is trying to force his way into the palace and usurp the throne?
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and save them!"
Chunxi's loud roar brought everyone back to their senses, and then everyone watched her holding onto the pillar at the entrance of the teahouse and climbing up to the second floor.
Everyone: “…”
Whose wife is this? Why is she so aggressive?
The situation inside is even worse than it looks from the outside.
The teahouse has four floors. Business is good on weekdays, but today, in order to watch the fun, almost every floor is crowded with people. The lobby on the first floor is packed with people, and the stairs on each floor are also crowded.
You have to go to the top floor.
Chunxi was just trying to find a way to go upstairs when Shen Qingyuan's voice came from upstairs: "How did you get in?"
Following the sound, Shen Qingyuan had already cleared the stairs on the fourth floor, and those who had been rescued were following him to help.
His hair was a little messy, but his expression was calm and he didn't look embarrassed at all.
Chunxi said loudly, "I've asked Qingshu to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to find some doctors. I'll have a ladder sent over right away to get the injured out for treatment."
Without waiting for Shen Qingyuan to answer, Chunxi ran back to the box facing the street and called for help.
By the time Qingshu arrived with the Jingzhao Prefecture's yamen runners, Chunxi and Shen Qingyuan had already built a passage using rope ladders and bamboo ladders and rescued many people.
With the help of the yamen runners, the rescue process was faster.
Shen Qingyuan came to Chunxi only after the teahouse was completely empty.
Chunxi immediately said, "Sir, I will go to a safe place first before looking for help."
She was so tired that she was sweating, but her eyes were shining, like a puppy wagging its tail and asking for a pat.
Shen Qingyuan's mind moved slightly, and he raised his hand to push away the loose hair at her temples and praised: "You did a great job."
If it weren't for her, who knows how many more innocent souls would have died today.
Chunxi narrowed her eyes and was about to speak when she suddenly felt a burning gaze.
Turning her head, she saw Wei Lingze standing not far away with a gloomy face, looking at her and Shen Qingyuan.
It felt like I was watching an adulterer.
Chunxi frowned slightly, and her chin was suddenly pinched. Shen Qingyuan straightened her head and said solemnly, "What's so good about it?"
Chunxi replied in a low voice: "I didn't think it was pretty, he was glaring at me and I wanted to glare back."
"Um."
Shen Qingyuan responded and turned his head to glare back on Chunxi's behalf.
At this time, the prefect Li Mingde arrived with a group of people, surrounding Wei Lingze like a swarm of people.
"Master Wei, you captured the culprit so quickly. That's really impressive."
"In such a chaotic situation, Lord Wei was able to remain calm and prevent these people from succeeding in their schemes. Such wisdom is truly not something that ordinary people possess."
A group of people praised Wei Lingze non-stop, wishing to praise him to the point that he could do anything.
Chunxi curled her lips.
She still thinks her parents are the best.
After all, the culprit can be caught slowly, but so many lives are gone, and no amount of work can make up for it.
Shen Qingyuan didn't like to take credit for himself, nor did he care about what others said. He was about to leave with Chunxi when Wei Lingze's voice came over: "Such a big thing happened, and Lord Shen just left after watching the excitement. Does he still have any sense of responsibility as a parent official?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone surrounding Wei Lingze looked at the two of them with disdain.
Chunxi: “…”? ? ?
No, a bunch of flatterers look down on those who save people?
It's simply the opposite of Tiangang!
