What caught Chen Qiu's eyes, which Chen Qiu had seen before, was Butler He of the Qiao family.
Butler He was acting sneaky at the moment, as if he was afraid of being discovered by others, and he walked straight towards the guest room where Chen Qiu was.
Chen Qiu hesitated and hid in the cabinet next to him. He could see outside through the narrow gap.
After making sure that no one was around, Butler He pushed open the door to the room. He immediately frowned: "Such a strong musty smell. It's been a long time since there have been guests."
Then, he touched his head and said to himself, "Huh? Where did I put it?"
He seemed to be looking for something, rummaging through boxes and cabinets one by one. Chen Qiuxin also picked it up. This guy was about to turn to his side.
Chen Qiu was well prepared. Once he opened the cabinet, he would do it immediately without letting him make a sound.
But in the end, Butler He did not find Chen Qiu's cabinet, but opened a box next to him.
"Fortunately, everything is there." Butler He wiped off the cobwebs on the box and took out everything inside. Chen Qiu took a closer look and was instantly shocked.
Butler He is really ruthless. He has been very greedy in the Qiao family over the years! There are a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and even some antiques inside, all of which seem to be valuable, especially a few emeralds.
The crack in the window shines on it, giving off a faint green light. If you take out any one, it will be a priceless treasure, an absolute old thing.
"Qiao Jihai." Butler He sighed and said: "You can't blame me. I have been working very hard in the Qiao family these years, working as a cow and horse for three generations of you, but I always have to think about my own future. These things
, even if it is the reward for my dedication for so many years, I have worked hard all my life, and it is time to enjoy it after I leave."
The things in the cabinet were all secretly hidden by Butler He over the years. He thought that one day he would leave the Qiao family and live his own life, because during these years in the Qiao family, he had had enough of the three generations of the Qiao family.
brutal.
This group of Qiao family members are too cruel in their work. Even if they are cruel to outsiders, they are also cruel to their own people. Even some very sincere subordinates, if they make even the smallest mistake, Qiao Jihai will get angry and punish them severely, and
Butler He, who has followed Qiao Jihai for many years, has naturally witnessed many tragedies.
Now, as soon as Qiao Jihai died, his desire to escape became even stronger. The huge Qiao family was like a cage, which made people unable to breathe.
"You can't blame me, Brother Qiao." Steward He rarely expressed his true feelings. He sighed deeply, as if he was holding his breath: "Then Chen Qiu is too cunning. Even you can't deal with him. How can your two grandsons be his opponents?
Now the Qiao family seems to have the upper hand, but in fact, Chen Qiu has not exerted any strength at all. I can't sleep all night. If I continue to stay at the Qiao family, I will definitely be doomed. I'm sorry, brother Qiao, I can only do
Now that we share the blessings with the Qiao family, we can’t share the hardships, so you won’t blame me, right?”
"But it doesn't matter. You're dead. You can't blame me if you want."
After making sure that his treasure was still there, Butler He turned to leave. However, as soon as he stood up, he was suddenly stunned.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and he stood there as if frozen, his body trembling slightly, because at this moment, he was staring at the ground in horror, and his heart was shaking violently.
This is a guest room, but how can there be any guests in the Qiao family? So they are basically just people who eat dust. It is also the place where Qiao Yu arranges the least number of patrols.
Because it has been uninhabited all year round, a lot of dust has fallen on the ground, but Butler He saw the footprints, and judging from the outline, they belonged to a man. The most important thing is that the footprints were obviously left just now!
This also means that there is someone else in this room besides him.
For some reason, when Butler He thought of this, a person subconsciously popped into his mind.
That is Chen Qiu!
He looked slightly sideways, observing the movement of the footprints. He became increasingly convinced that there were other people in the room at this moment!
But no matter who is hiding, it will not do him any good, because just now he accidentally confided his feelings. If the Qiao family hears and reports this, he will also be in danger.
Thinking of this, Butler He couldn't help but feel frightened. He pretended to be calm and put away the treasures in an orderly manner. He wanted to pretend that he didn't know anything and left, but when he got up and turned around, a face suddenly appeared in front of him.
before.
Although he had guessed that there was someone else in the room, when he suddenly appeared, Butler He turned pale with fright and opened his mouth to shout.
Naturally, Chen Qiu couldn't allow this guy to reveal his identity, so he immediately strangled his neck and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, just be honest!"
Butler He was extremely frightened. He didn't expect that Chen Qiu actually came! And he hid for such a long time!
After Butler He regained his composure, Chen Qiu released him and asked: "I'm going to ask you a few questions. You answer me honestly. Of course, you can also shout, but my plan failed. Then you have these treasures."
..”
Chen Qiu's meaning was very clear. If he didn't feel good, it would definitely make Butler He suffer terribly.
"This..." Butler He hesitated. He hesitated for a moment and finally sighed deeply.
Chen Qiu said calmly: "I heard everything you said. Since you don't want to stay at Qiao's house now, I can help you, as long as you meet my requirements."
Butler He was still unwilling to give up. After all, he had been in the Qiao family for so many years. Although the Qiao family had done many evil things, he still had some feelings. He didn't even need to use his brain to think about what Chen Qiu wanted to ask.
He didn't want to betray the Qiao family, but he had so many treasures that he had not fully enjoyed after devoting half his life to the Qiao family. Thinking of this, Butler He felt a little aggrieved. He gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, as long as I know everything, I
I’ll tell you everything.”
Chen Qiu smiled happily, which was why he didn't kill Butler He directly. As the steward of the Qiao family, this guy had more rights than those people, which was an unexpected surprise.
"It's very simple. Tell me the current distribution of power in the Qiao family and where Su Waner is being held."
Butler He narrowed his eyes and thought briefly: "Qiao Yu is an unpredictable person. On the surface, the distribution of power is mainly in the backyard and the courtyard, but secretly, I don't know. Qiao Yu has never told anyone
Only he himself knows."
"Continue." Chen Qiu nodded. From the look on Butler He's face, it didn't look like he was lying.
Butler He said in a deep voice: "Su Waner is locked up on the rockery in the courtyard."
"Where?" Chen Qiu was stunned and didn't understand.
"The rockery in the courtyard." Butler He added: "The rockery is actually a dungeon, but the entrance can only be seen from above. But now there are many people guarding it, and it is also the most strictly guarded place.
If you want to go in, it's almost impossible."
"Chen Qiu, I know you are very powerful. Qiao Mo and Qiao Yu combined cannot be your opponent."
"But you shouldn't be so reckless today. Qiao Yu has already set up a dragnet to target you. It's easy to step into this courtyard, but it may not be that easy to get out."
