"Father! Why did you abandon your son so cruelly? Father, wake up! Open your eyes and look at me!"
A shrill and painful wail spread throughout the Huo family, and countless servants rushed in one direction. Even some of the servants in charge and the two remaining concubines hurriedly walked out of the room, under the guidance of the maids. Get running.
Yi Niao was cracking melon seeds alone and stood at the door watching the excitement outside.
Liao Meng and Xu Yue were sitting quietly in the hall, drinking tea and talking a few words in a leisurely manner.
The pig demon who had just finished eating was lying on the ground sleeping.
"Hey, the white cloth has been pulled over here. It seems that the old man has finally returned to the west." Yi Niao said nonchalantly.
"Don't stand at the door and make sarcastic remarks, or you might be put in a sack and beaten up." Liao Meng shouted.
When Yi Niao heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong in the eyes of the two servants outside the house, so he walked into the house angrily, sat down at Meng's table, and started drinking tea.
"I don't know what happened after we left. Why did this old man suddenly drive to the west?" Xu Yue said in confusion.
"It should be the handiwork of that miracle doctor." Liao Meng said calmly, "I can't tell the difference between that person and his cultivation level may be higher than mine."
"Still above you?! Seventh-grade?! Don't scare me. There are many seventh-grades in Jiuzhou. We are so lucky, can we also bump into a seventh-grade?" Yidiao was a little surprised.
"I wasn't sure at first. I was still wondering if this man was really just an ordinary doctor, but after the old man died, I didn't think so anymore." Liao Meng's expression turned serious and he said slowly, "Because we The first thing I heard just now was the cry of Huo Jia, the eldest son of the Huo family, which means that as soon as he walked out of our place, he went to Huoshan's yard with his back legs and saw the old man!"
"Does this mean that the miracle doctor killed the old man?" Yi Niao asked with some doubts.
"I'm just a guess. Because first of all, the second young master definitely doesn't want the old man to die. He only hopes that the miracle doctor can save the old man. Only in this way can he have a chance to inherit the family property. And I don't think Huo Shan's face looks like a duplicitous person. In order to repay the life-saving kindness of the old man of the Huo family, he was willing to sacrifice his freedom to protect the Huo family for so many years.
So the problem must lie with the two priests and disciples who never show up.
Huo Shan is a fifth-grade master, and we have just seen how cautious he is. I think it is impossible for ordinary people to make small moves in front of him.
And to say the least, even if the miracle doctor killed Mr. Huo because of his identity as an ordinary person, Huo Yi, the second son of the Huo family, should have reacted after doing such a thing to the miracle doctor he swore to hire. , at least I will still do the mourning and mourning thing. "Liao Meng said.
"It's okay if we don't know. Someone who knows will come and answer our questions soon." Xu Yue said.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a well-dressed middle-aged man in exquisite clothes walked in.
Although there were still tears on his face, the smile on his lips could not be concealed.
"Three distinguished guests, I am Huo Xiaolong, a subordinate of the eldest son. The eldest son said that he had important matters to deal with tonight and could not entertain you personally, so he asked me to take over for him. If you need anything in the house, you can give me orders. I will try my best to satisfy you all." Huo Xiaolong said respectfully.
Huo Xiaolong has always been Huo Jia's most loyal and capable general. He has followed Huo Jia for twenty years.
Twenty years have turned a young talent into an old man over fifty years old, and Huo Jia has truly trusted him.
In the past twenty years, his only hope is that Huo Jia can ascend to the position of head of the family. In this way, he will be able to survive and become the leader of the Huo family by virtue of his power from dragon. The chief steward above.
He believed in his own merits and also believed in Huo Jia's character.
Originally, when he heard that the second son Huo Yi had found a miracle doctor, he was still worried about Huo Jia, but he never imagined that things would end in such a ridiculous way.
"What's going on with the old man? Can you tell us?" Liao Meng asked.
Huo Xiaolong was stunned when he heard this, and then after thinking for a moment, he turned around and shouted away the servants outside, and closed the door again.
"Distinguished guests, I can tell you these things. I believe that the eldest son will not say anything. But please do not spread it. Otherwise, the consequences will not only be bad for you, but also bad for me." Huo Xiaolong's expression said seriously.
Liao Meng nodded and said, "That's natural. I will never spread this matter to outsiders."
Huo Xiaolong looked at the other people, and they all nodded, saying that he would never leak this matter.
Huo Xiaolong then said, "Just now, after the eldest son left your place, he went to the yard of housekeeper Huo Shan to see how the old man's illness was being treated.
The result was a terrible sight. The second young master and Butler Huo Shan were lying outside the yard, while the old man inside the house had already passed away. As for the two priests and disciples invited by the Second Young Master, they had already disappeared without a trace. "
"From this point of view, the murderers should be the two miracle doctors. As for whether the second young master was involved..." Liao Meng pondered.
"The second young master is absolutely inseparable." Huo Xiaolong said with a sneer.
Xu Yue lowered her head and said, "Amitabha."
Huo Xiaolong's words also contained a message, that is, the second young master had no chance of saving his life this time.
After all, if the people he brought did something like this, the opponent's eldest son would not let go of such an opportunity to beat up the drowned dog no matter what.
Huo Jia will definitely bite Huo Yi to death, let him bear the responsibility of buying murder and killing his father, and completely drive him into the abyss.
As for where this priest disciple has gone, that is not something they are considering now.
Of course, even if the Huo family can still find the killer doctor, the result will probably be in vain.
The person who can make Huo Shan unable to fight back and knock him out will definitely not be an easy person. Unless the Huo family can find more powerful people than Huo Shan, then there might be a chance to find some traces.
"Please also bring a message to the eldest son. We will prepare to leave here tomorrow." Liao Meng said calmly.
Huo Xiaolong was a little puzzled and said, "Ah, if any of the distinguished guests are dissatisfied with the Huo family's reception, you can tell me if you need anything. I will definitely satisfy you."
"No, no, we are very satisfied with the warm reception of the Huo family, but we still have important matters to deal with first. We appreciate the eldest son's kindness," Liao Meng said.
"This... you guys have something important to do. Can you tell me a few things? Is there anything our Huo family can do to help?" Huo Xiaolong asked.
"Fellow Daoist Meng is here to accompany me to track down the source of zombies here. If necessary, we will definitely tell you." Xu Yue said with a smile.
Liao Meng also nodded, "It is our unshirkable responsibility to subjugate demons and eliminate demons."
Seeing these two righteous men, Huo Xiaolong couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration in his heart, and he immediately bowed, "I am honored to see the heroic spirit of these two righteous men today. I really admire them."
At this time, Yiniao felt that Xu Yue's words "Conquer Demons and Eliminate Demons" were particularly harsh in his ears.
…………
The next day.
After breakfast, the pig demon was pulled out by Yiniao and put on the carriage. Yiniao sat bored in the car, chatting with the pig demon all the time.
"How do you think these people can get into a car with such ink marks? There are too many red tapes in the human race. Even saying farewell has to have a ceremony. How troublesome! You see, our demon race is different. Just leave as soon as you say, if you have nothing to do, I will fly directly to your house if I want to visit, and just say something when you leave."
The pig demon hummed twice, "I think the Huo family is really enthusiastic. I want to give a thumbs up to their cooks. The food they cook is really delicious."
Yi Niao looked at the large group of people standing at the door of Huo's house with disdain. Huo Jia led a large number of young men who were enthusiastically surrounding Meng and Xu Yue, chatting endlessly.
"Brother Meng, I won't say too much. Anyway, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you can come to me at any time. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Huo Jia said with a serious face.
Liao Meng still looked indifferent, "Brother Huo is so upright and upright, I admire him endlessly."
"To be honest, if it weren't for the mundane affairs, I would really like to follow you two to slay demons and uphold the right path. I also want to let those evil zombies have a taste of my skills!" Huo Jialue Said with regret.
"Haha, there are so many monsters and monsters in the world. Mr. Huo Jia, there is no need to worry. After you have taken care of the matters at hand, you can put everything down and go out to travel and correct the path!" Xu Yue comforted.
"These are troubled times, so you two dear friends must take care of yourself along the way!" Huo Jia waved, "I have some gifts prepared here, so please don't refuse."
After Huo Jia finished speaking, without waiting for Meng Xuyue to speak, Huo Xiaolong led a few servants to carry large and small bags of things and stuff them into the Yiniao cart.
The pig demon grunted, seeming to complain that there were too many and too heavy things.
Yi Niao curled his lips and whispered, "Maybe it's all food!"
The pig demon instantly calmed down.
Huo Jia took Meng and Xu Yue to chat for a while before letting them leave.
Watching the convoy of Meng and his entourage go away, Huo Jia always had a smile on his face.
At this time, Huo Xiaolong whispered from the side, "Eldest Young Master, several clan elders who originally took refuge with the Second Young Master said they wanted to abandon the dark side and join the bright side, so they came to join you. Do you want to see how these people are going to be dealt with..."
"Haha, a bunch of clowns. Didn't they have fun being Huo Yi's dogs before? Now that they saw Huo Yi being arrested and interrogated by Huo Shan, they knew that the limelight was not right, so they came to be the wall again. Huh, let's give them a break first. Yes. Once Huo Shan takes care of Huo Yi's crimes, I will be able to take over the entire Huo family."
Huo Jia looked up at the plaque with the words "Huo Mansion" written on it, and saw that the two words carved with gold lacquer were so dazzling, even if there were two white ceremonial lanterns hanging next to them.
