CHAPTER XVI
Rong Zixiao, who had been out in turmoil for a day, returned home, but the Rong Mansion was quiet. Since my grandfather died www.biquge.info there are fewer and fewer people in the family.
Uncle Chen, the housekeeper, greeted him and asked, "Has the third young master had dinner?" ”
"Not yet." Rong Zixiao replied as he walked: "What about Mother?" Did you stop so early? ”
"It's not. My wife answered a phone call in the afternoon and went out. Haven't come back at this time. ”
Rong Zixiao was walking upstairs to his room, but when he heard this, he stopped and asked, "Who called?" ”
"Mrs. didn't say anything." Uncle Chen replied with his eyes down.
"Hmm." Rong Zixiao nodded: "Then prepare dinner for me first, it's simpler." I won't wait for my mother, she hasn't come back at this time, she must have eaten outside. ”
Uncle Chen promised and was about to retreat, but Rong Zixiao stopped him again: "You will bring me to the room in a while." ”
"Yes." Uncle Chen replied respectfully.
Rong Zixiao returned to the room, took off his coat, thought about it, closed the curtains again, moved the tables and chairs in the middle of the ground, and made a large space.
After a while, Uncle Chen brought over dinner. It is very simple to have two meat and two vegetables, a bowl of soup and a bowl of rice, but it is also matched with both color and flavor.
Rong Zixiao was moving his hands and feet in the room, and when he saw him come in, he said, "I don't move, I feel like my body is going to rust." Let's put the food on the table over there. ”
When Uncle Chen saw that the table had moved, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask questions, he still put down the tray and advised, "Young master, eat it while it's hot." Now the weather is cold and the meals are getting cold fast. ”
Rong Zixiao walked over, sniffed, and praised: "It smells very good." He saw Uncle Chen hand the chopsticks to him, but he didn't reach out to take them, but stared at him and said, "I don't know why it's so fragrant, is there any special material in it?" ”
Uncle Chen trembled, but reluctantly smiled: "The third young master loves to joke the most. It's just some home-cooked meals...... It was Ah Xia who did it, if you want to know, I'll help you ask her. With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute." Rong Zi filial piety.
Uncle Chen's body was shocked again, but he heard Rong Zixiao say: "You took away the chopsticks, how can I eat?" ”
Chen Bo swallowed his saliva and handed the chopsticks to Rong Zixiao again, but he still smiled and didn't answer.
"Uncle Chen, how many years have you been working in my house?" Rong Zixiao asked.
"I've been doing it for half a lifetime." Chen Bomu replied with a grimace.
"Is there anything in our house that doesn't stand up to you?" Rong Zixiao asked again.
"What did the young master say. The master of the Rong family has always been kind-hearted, and he is the most broadband. ”
"So what is my father sorry for you?" Rong Zixiao then asked, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a fierce color that Chen Bo had never seen before.
Uncle Chen couldn't help but shudder.
"Why don't you answer?" Rong Zixiao stood up and pressed forward step by step.
Uncle Chen shook his head, and his face gradually turned pale.
"Since you didn't, why did you collude with outsiders to harm my father? In vain, I usually respect you as an elder, but I didn't expect that our Rong family raised a white-eyed wolf who betrayed the head of the family! ”
Hearing this, Uncle Chen turned around and ran, but Rong Zixiao only stretched his leg lightly and skillfully, and tripped him to the ground. It's just that he fell on the carpet, but he didn't hurt it.
Rong Zixiao stepped on his chest, and he couldn't move at all.
Rong Zixiao said in a deep voice: "Do you know why I vacated such an open space in the room? I want to kill you, but I don't want to dirty the house. So......" he drew a dagger and said, "I just need to gently plunge this thing into your heart, and you won't even scream, and you'll die quickly, and maybe there will be no pain." Then I'll roll you up with this rug, so that the house won't be dirty, and you'll have to be cleaned. He compared the dagger to Uncle Chen, and the cold light on it pierced his eyes. His chest was stepped on by Rong Zixiao, after all, he was an old man, and his breathing was a little difficult.
"How do you know?" He asked, gasping for breath. In this way, it is almost already admitted.
Rong Zixiao snorted coldly and said, "How do I know? My eldest brother and I never thought that outsiders alone could kill my father invisibly. There must be a mole in our family. And after knowing who killed my father, all you have to do is find out who the Rong family once had contact with him. Simple, right? It turns out that you are still some kind of distant relatives who are beating around the bush. I took your photo, and some people remember that you were in and out of the neighborhood many times last year. Uncle Chen, I never thought that this matter would be related to you! If my father knew, he would be the saddest. He took precautions, but he didn't guard against the murderer by his side all the time! ”
Hearing this, Uncle Chen closed his eyes and gasped for a while before he said, "I know that sooner or later there will be such a day, and I am also so old, I have already lived enough." It's just that even if I'm sorry for the master, I'm not sorry for the rest of the Rong family. Third Young Master, you are innocent and alone, why bother to dirty your hands to kill me. Therefore, I ask you for a favor, and let me go to the Huangpu River by myself, and come to a hundred. ”
Seeing that he was sincere, Rong Zixiao took back the foot that stepped on his chest and said, "I'm not afraid of you running away." It's not that you can't agree to me if you ask me for this favor. It's just that I don't understand one thing. Our Rong family treats you well, you are so old, you are alone, even if you are greedy for other people's money, where is there a place to use it? Why did you collude with outsiders to poison my father, and what are you trying to do? ”
"What's the picture? I don't know. Uncle Chen burst into tears for a while. Cloudy tears flowed down his wrinkled face to the carpet: "I should have died a long time ago." I can't figure out why I'm still alive in this world! He whimpered and cried. Rong Zixiao had no choice but to frown and watch from the side.
Finally, he stopped crying. Rong Zixiao said helplessly: "You get up." Looking at your appearance, I also have something in my heart, I won't ask you today, it's better for you to have a good time and say it all at once. ”
Uncle Chen slowly got up from the ground, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old. He wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "I know what you're going to ask." I say, I say it all! I put a kind of medicine in my master's meal. After taking this medicine, it will make people's hearts beat faster than usual. But if you don't eat it, you don't have any symptoms. So, he just felt unwell, but when it came time to check his body, I wouldn't give him food, so he was never noticed. ”
