Hejiabao with the Sword Chapter 145 - What's in the Box
Under the guidance of the servants, Chen Dongzhi and the others could not remember how many corridors they walked through and how many rooms they passed through. It was not until they reached an inconspicuous house that the servants in front of them stopped and signaled to the three of them that they were already at their place.
.
Chen Dongzhi was curious about why this banquet place for a wealthy family should be magnificent. Why did the house look so dilapidated? He had no choice but to ask his servants: "May I ask your Excellency, does the ancestor want us to be here to serve as marquises?"
"
The servant seemed a little nervous, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead in this winter day. He said with a slight trembling: "Guests don't need to ask any questions. The ancestor and the head of the family are waiting for the three of us."
"Although our status is low, to find a place like this and even talk about having a banquet is a bit disrespectful." Tan Wu was young and energetic, and spoke in a low voice with a hint of annoyance.
After all, Chen Dongzhi was used to seeing big scenes. At this time, he realized that something was fishy. He stopped Tan Wu and continued to speak. He was about to ask the servant more questions, but saw that the servant seemed to be frightened by something terrible.
By the time Chen Dongzhi was talking to Tan Wu, he had already fled.
Chen Dongzhi felt more and more that something was wrong, so he turned to Tan Wu and Lao Zhan and said, "Something is wrong, Xiao Tan, Lao Zhan, let's leave now."
When Tan Wu and Lao Zhan saw that Chen Dongzhi didn't look like he was joking, they hurriedly followed Chen Dongzhi's instructions and turned around to head towards the way they came. Unexpectedly, a figure stopped in front of the three of them.
Chen Dongzhi looked closely and saw that it was He Ji, the third youngest member of the He family. He saw that his eagle eyes were looking at the three of them with evil intentions. As soon as he rolled his eyes, Chen Dongzhi quickly put on a smiling face and saluted He Ji repeatedly.
He said: "Hello, Mr. He, we three can just go in by ourselves. How dare we bother Mr. He to greet us in person?"
Without saying a word, He Ji glanced at the three of them with his sinister gaze, and then said coldly: "What's wrong, three of you, where are you going?
Chen Dongzhi was quick to think, and bowed to the He Kui brothers: "Replying to the third master, the three young men suddenly remembered that before leaving, my chief bodyguard told the three of us another extremely important matter.
Master, look at my stupid head, how could I have forgotten this matter? No, I just remembered it and I have to rush to the escort agency."
"A meal can't delay anything important. Don't be anxious. My eldest brother has already received the fate of our ancestors. He rushed to Fuyuan Escort Bureau to invite your escort chief Xiong to come to Hejiapu for a reunion."
He Jihan's yinhan eyes fell on Chen Dongzhi and the others. Not only did the three of them shiver, but hearing what He Laosan said, they could only turn around and walk back to the house with Tan Wu and Lao Zhan.
.
He Ji followed the three of them, and when he saw Chen Dongzhi's trembling hand touching the door, reluctant to push it open, he opened his mouth and said: "Boss Chen, my ancestor is waiting to entertain you three inside.
Please come in quickly and take a seat."
Seeing this situation, Chen Dongzhi had no choice but to bite the bullet, close his eyes, and push open the door.
Closing his eyes tightly, Chen Dongzhi did not feel any danger. Then he slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a large table more than ten feet long, filled with delicacies, and the ancestor of the He family was sitting on the main seat.
, looking at Chen Dongzhi with cold eyes.
Chen Dongzhi felt a little relieved when he saw that it was not what he thought. Then he winked at Tan Wu and Lao Zhan who were equally astonished behind him, and the three of them walked slowly into the house.
"Sit down." The ancestor of the He family showed no emotion in his cloudy eyes. He just made a faint gesture, telling the three of them to sit down.
Seeing that he could no longer refuse, He Ji behind him also put on a posture that the three of them would not listen. Chen Dongzhi had no choice but to go to the table with Xing and sit down opposite the ancestor of the He family.
The ancestor's turbid eyes passed over the faces of the three people, and then he said to He Ji who was standing behind the three people: "Go to the mountain gate of the other courtyard to greet your eldest brother. If he comes back, bring him here.
.”
"I will obey my father's order." He Ji accepted the order and left.
Chen Dongzhi did not dare to say anything, so he had to sit quietly with Tan and Zhan. Chen Dongzhi caught a glimpse of the wooden box brought by the three of them on the seat next to the ancestor.
Feeling flustered for no reason, Chen Dongzhi and the others could only pretend to be calm and wait quietly.
The ancestor sitting across from the three people was extremely calm, without the old and shabby look in the main hall. He just kept stroking the wooden box on the seat next to him with one hand.
About half an hour later, perhaps because he had been sitting for a long time, the ancestor slowly stood up and walked slowly around the hall with his golden staff.
The sound of the golden staff hitting the ground again and again was like a drum beating on the hearts of Chen Dongzhi and the others, making the three of them panic.
Chen Dongzhi clearly knew that the only person in front of the three of him was an old man, so why was he still so panicked?
Just when the ancestor of the He family reached the tenth circle, the door behind Chen Dongzhi and the others was suddenly pushed open, and a sinister sound came into the house.
"Dad, eldest brother is back."
Hearing this, the ancestor of the He family stopped and his eyes did not move for a moment. He just said with a hint of sadness: "It's good to come back. It's good to come back. Let him bring that person to see me."
"yes."
He Ji followed the order and came out. Not long after, in the astonished eyes of Chen Dongzhi and the others, they saw He Kui striding over carrying a man covered in blood.
This man was covered in injuries and had long been unconscious. When the three of them saw the man's blood-stained face clearly, they couldn't help but exclaim.
"General escort chief."
Chen Dongzhi and the others stood up suddenly. They never expected that this man covered in wounds was actually their chief escort, Xiong Feng.
Normally, the chief escort and everyone are like brothers, and everyone in the Fuyuan Escort Bureau also has a very good relationship. Seeing the chief escort's behavior, Chen Dongzhi and the others suddenly turned red and yelled at He Kui: "Let go of my family."
Dart head."
Although Tan Wu was about to enter the industry, Xiong Feng took care of him the most. Knowing that his wife had just given birth to a child, he always sent people to secretly stuff some money into his home. Tan Wu refused several times, but Xiong Feng was the one who took care of him.
Got some education.
It's not easy for a woman to marry you. You can't make others suffer after giving birth to a child. The monthly salary of an escort who just entered the industry is small. He knows that no matter how hard it is, you can't suffer the child. Under Xiong Feng's repeated insistence, Tan Wupu
I accepted it with tears in my eyes.
The feelings in the world are so pure. Tan Wu had not had time to repay Xiong Feng. Now seeing the chief escort's state of not knowing whether he was alive or dead, his blood instantly surged and he was about to step forward to snatch the chief escort back from He Kui's hands.
However, Chen Dongzhi reached out to stop him. The veins on Tan Wu's neck popped out and he shouted at Chen Dongzhi: "Brother Dongzhi, what are you doing?"
Although Chen Dongzhi was fat, he was extremely angry when he saw the chief escort's face covered with blood, but he still retained a trace of consciousness. He knew the skills of the chief escort. He Kui's neat clothes were already impressive.
The way the chief escort looks like, his skills are definitely not rivaled by the three of them.
Stopping Tan Wu and Lao Zhan who were about to act impulsively, Chen Dongzhi suppressed his anger and said to the expressionless ancestor of the He family opposite, leaning on a golden staff: "Ancestor, what do you mean?"
"Giggle..." The ancestor of the He family seemed to be poked by Chen Dongzhi's words, and the oozing laughter spread throughout the room. But with a smile, the wrinkled face of the ancestor of the He family suddenly appeared again.
He suddenly turned to sadness and turned around abruptly, his cloudy eyes filled with tears of sadness.
Perhaps it was excessive sadness that made the wrinkled face of the ancestor of the He family become abnormally distorted. The ancestor of the He family slowly walked to the place where he was sitting just now. He raised his old hand, whose veins were clearly visible, and gently brushed the wooden box. The mouth of the wooden box
The child suddenly opened.
What was clearly contained inside was a human head. The head seemed to have been soaked in medicine. It did not have any smell of blood, but instead exuded the smell of medicine.
Chen Dongzhi and the other two stood dumbfounded on the spot. The dart the woman was carrying turned out to be a human head. There was no trace of blood on this person's face, and it seemed that he had not felt any pain when he died. Looking closely at the wound on the neck, it looked like a sword wound, but not like a sword wound.
, like a fly's wing, cut off at the neck, and looking at the face of the human head, it is 70-80% similar to He Ji.
"This...this..." For a moment, Chen Dongzhi didn't know how to speak. What the woman asked the Fuyuan Escort Bureau to send to the He family turned out to be...
His mind was in a mess, and he was still trying to recall it, but the ancestor of the He family spoke.
"Okay, what the Fuyuan Escort Agency has done is great. On the New Year's Day, my birthday is approaching, so why don't you give me my second son's head to celebrate my birthday?"
Chen Dongzhi regretted it at this moment. He did not listen to the advice of his boss and coveted the gold and silver in the woman's deerskin bag. This got him into trouble and he had trouble explaining. Then he looked at the two brothers He Kui and He Ji standing behind him.
His face was filled with sadness and his eyes contained murderous intent, approaching the three of them.
Only then did Chen Dongzhi remember that when the three of them handed the wooden box to the ancestor of the He family, his expression changed slightly. It turned out that at that time, he discovered that the wooden box contained his son's head.
They were lured to this remote hut in another courtyard, and then they attacked a few people. This forbearance and scheming, now that I think about it, are extremely terrifying.
At this point, Chen Dongzhi knew that he was at a loss for words. In a panic, his mind was in confusion. Who was this escort girl? What kind of grudge did she have with the He family? He did not hesitate to offend the most powerful person in Zangbei City.
family.
Although Chen Dongzhi didn't know the reason, behind him, He Kui and He Ji didn't want to let the three of them go. He Kui already had the power in his hands and was about to kill several people.
"Wait a minute." The ancestor of the He family gently raised his hand to signal his son to wait a moment.
"Let me ask you how you communicate with the escort." Although the tone of the ancestor of the He family was soft at this time, it could be felt that he was trying his best to suppress the murderous intention in his heart.
Lao Zhan was speechless by this scene, and so was Xiao Tan. Now only Chen Dongzhi was the only one who could still speak.
"I...we don't know...who the person escorting the escort is...and there is no way to contact her...we only know that she...she is a woman." Chen Dongzhi was also afraid that the He family would recognize the Fuyuan Escort Bureau as the murderer, so he hurriedly took the former escort into the hall.
Tell the ancestor of the He family what has not been said.
When the ancestor of the He family heard this, his old hand went to caress the head of the second son of the He family in the box, and his piercing laughter resounded throughout the house again.
"Didn't you tell me in the main hall that you have never met your employer? Why did you say that your employer is a woman? Is this... so easy to lie to me?"
While the ancestor of the He family was speaking, he saw the old palm waved in the air, and instantly a palm wind burst out from his palm. This palm wind came so fast that Chen Dongzhi was about to see the ancestor of the He family wave his palm.
I felt a strong force coming from my chest.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Dongzhi was thrown to the wall like a tattered rag soaked in water, and flew backwards, causing a dent in the wall behind him.
"Poof" Chen Dongzhi's fat body hit the ground heavily, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
"Do you want to say it now?" the old voice came again.
Chen Dongzhi was lying on the ground, feeling that his internal organs were about to fall apart. He also wanted to say something, but he had already told the truth and the He family didn't believe it. What should he do?
Looking at the owner who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and Xiao Tan, Lao Zhan, who wanted to help, Chen Dongzhi made up his mind to rescue everyone no matter what the cost.
He forcibly swallowed the sweetness in his chest, slowly stood up, and managed to speak.
"Ancestor He, I say, I say. However, I have a condition."
"Oh? The little old man has been in the world for decades, and no one has dared to bargain with the little old man."
The ancestor of the He family suppressed his anger, stared at Chen Dongzhi with his cloudy eyes and said.
