"Are you someone else? Tell me!!"
Hua Chen was furious and asked.
"It's... it's 'Hua Wu'... let me know!"
The housekeeper had to give the person's name.
"'Hua Wu' is a guest again?"
The housekeeper looked at Huachen's face. The sweat on his face was dripping down like soybeans. His mouth trembled a few times. Finally, he couldn't dodge anymore and had to say word by word:
"I am the family steward of 'Hua Gaobi', and I am from the same hometown as you, so I urgently asked him what he would do, and I did not think of anything else. Please forgive me for my impatience and inattention!"
"when!"
As soon as Hua Chen heard the words "Hua Gaobi", he had already grabbed the tea cup held by the maid next to him. At this time, he hit the butler's head without any bias, and all he saw was Suddenly, a wisp of bright red blood flowed down his forehead. The housekeeper didn't dare to wipe it, so he just let it flow down, until drop by drop hit the ground, and splashed out a bunch of blood on the ground, attracting the attention of those around him. Ants lined up to carry and lick food.
The servants behind the butler were all so frightened that they all knelt down in one piece. From the angle of the ground, everyone exchanged nervous glances with each other, full of trembling, just waiting for Hua Chen to surrender.
"Hmph! How brave! Let me drag you down, punish you with thirty sticks, and you will not be allowed to eat for three days!"
"My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me!..."
The housekeeper was dragged into the backyard by the servants in charge of housekeeping. The other servants also cried and begged for him.
"Thirty sticks are too heavy! Someone will die!"
…
"Shut up! If you talk too much on his behalf, I will be punished with him!"
Huachen shouted in a deep voice, which frightened the servants who were just about to cry out for the butler. They all covered their mouths tightly, fearing that he would be the next one to be dragged down.
Everyone only heard the sound of "ouch, ouch" coming from behind, getting weaker and weaker, and then there was no sound.
"You won't really be beaten to death, right?"
Several servants discussed secretly in private.
"You are all here! You made your own decision and tried to make the decision for me, and this is what you ended up with! Let me remember it all!"
After the servants brought back the beaten and dying housekeeper and "displayed" him in front of everyone, Hua Chen said something bitterly, then tossed his sleeves and went back to his main hall.
"You, come with me!"
"Brother", the temporary leader of the trusted Yamen soldiers, glanced at the pitiful housekeeper, sighed, and was "named" to discuss important matters.
This requires a mission.
"Brother" received the order, gathered all his yamen soldiers, and selected five of the strongest and most reliable ones. They practiced in secret for three days and took them out to rehearse the planned route. Everything was ready. All I owe is a dark moon night.
Three days later, it was the time when the moon was waning, the legendary "dark and windy night", and the planned time point: arrived.
"Brother" took this action team of six people and sneaked outside Hua Gaobi's house under the cover of night. At this time, it was Hua Yue's "Qiqi". Inside the Hua Gaobi, there were plain candles and white curtains. The family memorial ceremony has come to an end after the "burial" was completed.
It was past midnight, and the candles in the memorial hall in Washington D.C. were gradually running out of power and needed to be replenished.
At this time, the old housekeeper Hua Wu saw that all the young servants were falling asleep due to lack of physical strength. The hard work for many days was also difficult for these children.
So the old man decided to go out to the back hall in person, holding a lantern and holding the oil statue, to add oil.
Just as he was trembling, filled up the gas, carried out the door, and was about to walk to the mourning hall, he had not taken a few steps when suddenly, he was suddenly patted behind him. He was stunned and turned around, only to see a man in black. He stabbed an exquisite double-edged beryllium knife into his chest.
Hua Wu was suddenly stabbed. He was unprepared and without saying a word, he grabbed the sleeves of the man in black and slowly fell down. The oil also spilled all over the floor, and the lantern he lit to illuminate the road was There was a "sudden" moment of flames. When the flames touched the oil in the ground, they suddenly burst into flames, so high that they illuminated the surrounding area brightly.
But in this photo, the aging but solemn face of Hua Wu Jiazai was also clearly shown!
The man in black couldn't help being stunned when he saw it:
He knows it!
"How could it be him?"
The man in black took two steps back. He wanted to escape immediately, but when he saw that Hua Wu's sleeves had been set on fire, he suddenly couldn't bear it. He picked him up and threw him into the pond next to him. Then he saw him His body, like a heavy stone, sat silently at the bottom of the pond, without any movement.
As soon as the fire started, the crackling sound quickly woke up the soldiers and servants who were still sleeping just now. Then, shouting and people stampeded, and the fire-fighting team turned the originally peaceful and sad Night, everything was torn apart, including Hua Gaobi's heart.
The six-person team successfully set off several fires in the corners of various houses, attracting the attention of the entire Washington DC. Gu Dong couldn't care about the west, and couldn't put out the fire everywhere. The fire even burned into the mourning hall.
Overnight, through everyone's efforts, although the fire was extinguished, it still left Washington in a mess, as if it had been struck by thunder, and it was unbearable to look at it.
How could Hua Gaobi endure such a tone?
The death of his father had already made him deeply grieved. Hua Wu, the family leader who had brought him to his home since he was a child, disappeared without a trace after an inexplicable fire, which made his heart burn with five fires and he couldn't control himself.
"Even if you have to rummage through the flowers and plants, clear out the ponds, see people alive, or see corpses after death! Let me find them!"
Finally, while renovating the house, clearing the pond and digging the soil, finally, the body of Zaihua Wu from his hometown was lying quietly at the bottom of the pond. It had been soaked and swollen and turned white. Some parts All the bones were exposed, it was so painful that it was so miserable that it was unbearable to watch.
This kind of "Hua Wu" was Hua Wu, the family leader who Hua Gaobi had never seen before. He couldn't believe that this swollen and deformed face, as pale as paper, was the one he knew and was familiar with. The Hua Wu who treats him like his own grandson, the "grandfather" who is amiable, loves him and cares about him all the time!
"Your Excellency! Please look at this thing! The family leader did not drown to death."
The medical officer in charge of the autopsy had carefully examined Hua Wu's body and found the exquisite double-edged beryllium knife on his chest. He pulled it out and then performed a thoracotomy to examine the lungs. He found that there was no smoke in the respiratory tract. , no water to choke, clean, it can be seen that the real cause of his death was this small beryllium knife.
