Chapter 118: The Sixth Man Who Shouldn't Be Present
There were no further changes on the road to Wanhualou, Xia Fan came to the backyard of Wanhualou unimpeded, until he reached the outside of Ning Fei'er's house, and then quickly took off the night clothes he was wearing, and then threw them into the ethereal ring like the medicine ding.
After doing this, Xia Fan returned to Ning Fei'er's bedroom, looked at Ning Fei'er, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and after making sure that Ning Fei'er had not woken up during the previous period, Xia Fan took off the clothes on his body, and then got into Ning Fei'er's bed, and lay side by side with Ning Fei'er......
At the same time, in the courtyard of the patriarch of the Xia family, Xia Ya was sitting in the living room with a serious face, and on the floor of the living room, there was a corpse that had obviously died because of having his throat cut!
In the entire living room, except for Xia Ya, only the old butler stood next to the corpse with his hands down.
"There are four people killed by Bloody Clothes with his own hands, and the corpse in front of me is the fifth person, and there is also a figure who escaped with the medicine tripod, which is the sixth person...... That's the case, right? ”
After staring at the corpse for a long time, Xia Ya asked.
"Yes, after Bloody Clothes came to inform the specific situation, I went with Bloody Clothes, and carefully inspected outside the Third Elder's mansion, and only then did I find this corpse. When the body was found, the body was lying in an inconspicuous corner outside the Third Elder's Mansion, and there were no traces of a fight or any other way around, and it could be seen that it should have been a real master who killed it. ”
The old butler spoke
"Has anyone else seen this corpse other than you?"
Xia Ya continued to ask.
"It's gone. After I found the corpse, I felt as if something had gone wrong, so I took matters into my own hands, and let Bloodcoat and the other remaining bloodservant chase after them like the five bloodguards who had left before. Then he brought the body back alone. ”
The old butler replied
"Hmm...... It's a good job, according to the news from within the Liu family, there should only be five people in total who came to our Xia family tonight. But now that there is a sixth person, until we are sure where the sixth person comes from, we should assume that the sixth person does not exist. The medicine tripod was stolen, and it was stolen by the Liu family! As for the corpse, let's put it in a private cell and refrigerate it with ice cubes. ”
Listening to the old housekeeper's answer, Xia Ya nodded and spoke.
This arrangement seemed to be somewhat unexpected by the old butler.
So after hearing Xia Ya's instructions, the old housekeeper raised his head, glanced at Xia Ya strangely, and said, "What if the sixth person is from the City Lord's Mansion?" With this incident, we can cut out the stubborn diseases within the family, and at the same time, we can also put pressure on the Liu family, and if the sixth person is from the City Lord's Mansion, the benefits we can obtain from the whole thing will be further improved. What do you think...... You shouldn't hide the existence of the sixth person, right? “
The old butler asked with some confusion.
"Uncle Zhou, as the leader of a force, when making an important decision, the most taboo is often lack of greed. Everyone understands the truth that when the water is full and the moon is full, but there are few who can really do this. Many times, the more you want to gain, the more you will lose as a result. Moreover...... I have a gut feeling...... The mysterious sixth person who suddenly appeared was not from the City Lord's Mansion. “
Speaking of this, the corners of Xia Ya's mouth turned up slightly, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"You mean ......"
Hearing Xia Ya say this, a figure unexpectedly appeared in the old housekeeper's mind.
But then the old butler shook his head vigorously, as if talking to himself, and said, "Impossible, I have seen this corpse...... He is a member of the Liu family's dead soldiers, and his strength is either a fourth-grade martial artist or a fifth-grade martial artist, although the second young master has entered the realm at a rapid pace during this time, he should only be in the realm of a fifth-grade martial artist, how could he kill an opponent of this level? ”
"I don't know about this, but if I'm not mistaken, during this time, your confidence in that stinky boy has always been much stronger than mine, why don't you have that momentum today?"
Xia Ya looked at the old housekeeper's hesitant look and couldn't help but quip.
"Ahem, I do have full confidence in the second young master, but any confidence must be based on a reasonable foundation...... I don't think that with the current strength of the second young master, he has the ability to quietly kill an opponent of this level, it has nothing to do with confidence. ”
After thinking about it, the old housekeeper still gave a more pertinent answer.
"Whether it's that stinky boy or not, let's not talk about it for now. Even if it was really him, since he didn't greet us in advance, then he had his own thoughts, and even if we asked, he probably wouldn't admit it. In that case, we should be completely unclear. ”
Xia Ya said, got up from his seat, walked to the old butler's side, looked at the corpse, and continued: "But whether that stinky boy did it or not, we have to hide the existence of the so-called sixth person. Taking 10,000 steps back, if this matter is really the City Lord's Mansion secretly doing something, then if we want to use this to put pressure on the City Lord's Mansion in order to seek more benefits for ourselves, it is definitely the most stupid thing to do. ”
In the end, Xia Ya's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he remembered something, and continued in a rather emotional tone: "Many times, I suffer losses...... In fact, it is taking advantage. ”
"Yes, I understand, then I'll carry this corpse to the private cell first."
The old housekeeper seemed to understand Xia Ya's meaning a little, and the puzzled look on his face was much less.
"Well, in addition, no matter who the sixth person is, this Li Dai Taozhuang's drama must eventually be pulled to the Liu family, since the Liu family has made such an arrangement, then no matter whether they really get the medicine tripod or not, this pot must also be carried by them. Let the blood servants maintain the pressure on the Liu family, but do not have a real conflict, we have prepared enough evidence for this matter, in this case, it is the best choice to put pressure on the Liu family from the level of the law. Take this ...... We can also take a look at the attitude of the City Lord's Mansion! ”
After Xia Ya arranged these, the old housekeeper bowed slightly, lifted the corpse on the ground, put the corpse into the private prison first, and then left the patriarch's mansion.
In the entire living room, Xia Ya was the only one left.
Standing in the empty living room, Xia Ya looked at the murky night outside through the window, and muttered to himself, "This bastard kid...... It's really a nuisance...... Is it him......"
