Chapter 228: The Scapegoat
The private prison on the basement floor of William's house seems to be a forgotten and spurned corner by the world, separated by a wall, bright outside the wall, and rotten in the prison, which is stark and ironic.
It was early morning, and occasionally a cold wind blew from the cracks in the wall, rubbing "Woo... Woo...".
Blowing up the dust on the ground, floating in the air, filling the entire dungeon, mixed with the smell of sourness, erosion and decay, penetrated into Bao Tongtong's heart, and the fear was inexplicable.
There are no lights, no lighting objects, just a trace of light that has finally come in from outside, shining very brightly and leaving.
At this time, this dungeon, where I don't know how many corpses were buried, ushered in a new guest, Bao Tongtong.
He was dragged hard by the two servants, and no matter how much he yelled, cursed, and even struggled to hit his own legs on the ground, he could not stop them, dragging her arms and letting them slide on the ground, step by step towards the deeper room.
Finally, in this extremely dark environment, Bao Tongtong saw a glimmer of light, and then he was led into the innermost room.
There were all kinds of torture instruments on the walls of the room, and each one was stained with the blood of many people once upon a time.
On the other hand, Bao Tongtong was the same, but even if he didn't want to do it anymore and struggled desperately, he couldn't stop it, and the two people told him to throw him out of the room.
"It's coming!", the butler's voice gently reached Bao Tongtong's ears with an unexpected gentleness.
Bao Tongtong was stunned for a long time, and then turned his head and set his eyes on the big butler he hadn't discovered just now.
The location of the chief butler was relatively oblique, he didn't notice it at first, and all his eyes were focused on those torture instruments, thinking that he had made some big mistake, the head of the family, or which clan elder, caught him here without the support of his young master, and wanted to rectify him well.
What he didn't expect was that the first person he saw was the chief butler, and the chief butler's expression was not right at all!
"Big, big butler, do you want me to have any orders? The little ones must do it", Bao Tongtong was already frightened, and after rolling on the ground, he got up, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the big butler three times, and said tremblingly with a crying voice.
Then, neither of them spoke, and fell into a brief silence, but Bao Tongtong could hear his heart still pounding, accompanied by a deathly silence that made him feel more and more terrifying.
Ahem. The butler pretended to cough, stood up and walked forward.
Bao Tongtong, who had been keeping his head down, saw his feet appear in front of him, and then the big butler reached out and helped him up, and said with unprecedented kindness.
"Xiao Bao, don't be nervous, Uncle doesn't have anything important for you to do, don't worry, sit down first!"
While talking about the big butler, he led Bao Tongtong to a reclining chair, and pressed him to the chair without saying anything.
Immediately after, a cold flash flashed in Bao Tongtong's eyes, and a sharp beard knife was grabbed by his butler.
"Great butler, this... Bao Tongtong's pupils shrank suddenly, and he wanted to sit up urgently, but he was pressed on the reclining chair by the big butler.
I only heard the big butler's tone cold, and said unhappily.
"Call uncle, don't always call the big housekeeper, it's too raw?"
"Yes, uncle, but you are", Bao Tongtong saw that after the big butler took out the razor, he compared it to his face, and the cold touch of the razor instantly passed through his skin and entered Bao Tongtong's nerves, making him shiver.
Then he saw the chief butler pick up a grinding stone from the side, hook his hands on the back of the knife, and began to touch it gently, while saying thoughtlessly.
"The most important thing in this life is face, if you are not clean, you have no face, and if you don't have face, you can't see people. ”
Bao Tongtong nodded noncommittally, the chief butler had finished sharpening the razor at this time, walked to his side, picked a little wax from the side and applied it to Bao Tongtong's face, and continued, said kindly.
"Your father, that is, the former third housekeeper, has been a housekeeper for our old baron for a lifetime, and has shaved his face for a lifetime, every time the baron goes out, your father will make the baron decent, but only since your father's death, the razor baron has not been touched again, but something happened to William's family today, and someone needs to repair his face, so today I can only replace the old baron to shave your face. ”
Of course, this old baron represents William Warner's father who played himself badly, and the big housekeeper is now bringing up the old things again, Bao Tongtong didn't understand it at first, but when Bao Tongtong heard that William's family had an accident, and someone needed to repair his face, he finally heard something wrong with this sentence.
Immediately afterwards, Bao Tong bounced off the recliner.
Immediately, the door had already been closed, and suddenly the hole opened, and two strong men ran in and pressed him back into the chaise longue.
Wait until this time for the big housekeeper to pick up the mention again, take it seriously, carefully, use the sharp razor in his hand, one by one, over and over again, through the face and neck, and begin to give Bao Tongtong a gentle face.
At this moment, Bao Tongtong's round eyes were wide, his fists were clenched, and he wanted to struggle, but his body had already been fixed on the recliner, and he couldn't even move his head.
Then, I only heard the big butler continue to speak slowly.
"Baron Warner is a hero, but he is still too young, too sensitive, and has done something wrong, and now he needs to give him a face-fixing like your father. ”
When Bao Tongtong heard this, he struggled more and more, and the big housekeeper was still not obscene, and continued to shave Bao Tongtong's face, which had already been scratched by excessive struggle, and said at the same time.
"Remember Uncle's words, you ordered the poisoning, and you sent it, and it has nothing to do with William's or the Baron. ”
"Why?", Bao Tongtong roared frantically, while staring viciously at the close butler.
And the big butler just smiled slightly, lowered his head, and just looked at Bao Tongtong face to face, and the big butler said unscrupulously.
"I'm sure you'll agree, after all, you don't want to die at home, but if you can bear all the sins alone, your wife and your children will be treated the same as the children of the family in the future, go to the best prophetic school, and do the best material life, and vice versa. Forget it, think for yourself!"
With that, the chief butler and the two servants walked out of the gloomy room, leaving Bao Tongtong lying on the chaise longue, like a man who had been drained of his soul, looking at the top in a daze.
Half an hour later, the old priest of the Fire Temple, Zha arrived as scheduled, and arrived at the most luxurious council hall in William's Manor, and just as he was seated, Bao Tongtong gritted his teeth and walked in.
Immediately, the two looked at each other, and somehow, they immediately rubbed a strong smell of gunpowder.
