Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Truth

Faced with his wife's worries, Master Huang replied easily, "It's okay, I have entrusted the British Minister Warsaw to handle this money." A full 30,000,000 taels of silver! ”

"According to my current situation, the imperial court may not be able to be preserved. The revolutionary party is not the peasants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they have their own program and beliefs! The woman spoke out about her concerns.

"Alright, that's not something you should worry about. By the way, the photo of the two of us with the baby has been washed out that day, and I specially asked them to frame it. Master Huang picked up the picture frame and walked to the antique connoisseur. The antique connoisseur waved his hand at him, and Master Huang couldn't see him at all. The new photograph hanging on the wall is the one that the antiques connoisseur had seen earlier on the fireplace.

The elevator rang again. A servant was pushed out of the elevator, followed by several uniformed men. The officer at the head was very young and bearded.

"Master Huang, we're meeting again!" The bearded man pulled out a cigarette and stuck it in his mouth. When the woman saw the officer smoking, she was afraid that the smoke would hurt the child, so she carried the child to the dining room and sat next to the antique connoisseur. The antique connoisseur looked at the baby and felt very cute, with a smiling face and eyelashes.

Master Huang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "It turned out to be Adjutant Wang!" What's the matter? ”

"Our chief has a good temper and will not embarrass you Qing court lackeys, but I don't have such a good temper. At present, the war is tense, and Yuan Shikai was entrusted by the Qing court with an important task to coerce the six towns of Beiyang to come to Hankou to suppress it, and the enemy's vanguard is less than 100 miles away from Hankou City. We are short of food and medicine now, so the tariffs of the Great Qing Dynasty must be handed over to us, so that we can win this battle. Adjutant Wang said straight to the point.

"I still say the same thing, the tariffs are managed by the British, but all the accounts go from me." Master Huang said.

Adjutant Wang rubbed his hands, "I knew you would say that!" "Adjutant Wang took a wooden box from his subordinates and handed it to Master Huang." I heard that your daughter is about to reach the full moon, and I will give you this gift as a congratulatory gift! ”

Master Huang took the wooden box and looked at Adjutant Wang's cunning face, he was very worried in his heart, he opened the box, and what caught his eye was a chopped palm. On the ring finger was a ring of green jadeite, which he recognized, a personal gift from Warsaw. Master Huang quickly covered the box and said angrily, "You actually dare to kill the British minister, aren't you afraid of the British revenge?" ”

Adjutant Wang flicked the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it with his foot, "I was wrong just now, it seems that you are not only the dog of the imperial court, but also the dog of the British." Before his death, Warsaw had already admitted that it was you who hid the tariffs, and he just didn't say how to get the money out. Adjutant Wang loaded his pistol as he spoke, and then aimed it at Master Huang's forehead. I asked one last time, where was the money? ”

Seeing her husband being held at gunpoint, the lady put the child on the sofa and rushed to the gun. "Isn't your revolutionary party revolutionizing for the people? Who exactly is your gun pointing at now? ”

"Madame asked well, of course you are not the people, you are the scum who looted the people's fat and ointment, and transferred China's wealth to foreigners!" Adjutant Wang put the muzzle of his gun on his wife's head. "Master Huang, if you don't say it, if you don't say it, your wife's life will be explained."

Old Man Huang's face was very painful, and he was silent for a few seconds and said, "The map of the warehouse where the money is stored is in the safe of Wanqi Bank, which is a secret warehouse set up by the British in Hankou, and the key to open the warehouse is the heirloom jade seal!" ”

The antique connoisseur was overjoyed, and the safe contained a map of the location of the silver. As long as you can find the key and password to open the safe, and match the jade seal, it will be a full 30 million taels of silver! This is an astronomical amount, and the key and password were originally entrusted to Zhang Zhong, but now in the hands of the revolutionary party, all the mysteries have been solved.

At this time, Adjutant Wang's face was extremely angry, "What? I still want to pass on the jade seal of the country, and that thing is in Beijing! How could I possibly get it! ”

Madame smiled and said, "Aren't you revolutionaries powerful?" When you capture Beijing, you will naturally be able to get this money. ”

"Who told you to kill Warsaw, now not only will you not be able to get the jade seal, but you will not even be able to get the key to the safe. You rebellious parties are destined to be unable to compete with the imperial court. Master Huang said categorically.

Adjutant Wang sighed, "Hey. Immediately after that, he fired two shots in succession, and Mrs. and Master Huang fell to the ground one after another. The lady stretched out her hands and kept looking at the baby beside the antique connoisseur, who was crying loudly at the sound of the gunshot. Adjutant Wang walked up to the antique connoisseur, he picked up the baby, and gently slid the muzzle of the gun on the baby's face, "Don't worry, I'll send you to see your parents right away." ”

When the baby heard Adjutant Wang's words, instead of crying, he laughed. She gently touched the muzzle of the gun with her fingers, and her mouth made a hehehe-heo sound. Adjutant Wang was shocked, "Why aren't you afraid of me?" ”

Adjutant Wang's men stepped on the panicked servant and shot him.

"Be quiet, don't scare the kids!" Adjutant Wang hurriedly covered the child's ears with both hands.

"Sir, what now?" The subordinate asked.

"Confiscate all the valuable things in the house, and kill all the remaining people in the house. We must not let others know that this is what our revolutionary party has done. ”

The subordinates were ordered to rush to the third and first floors respectively. Master Huang's parents, two nephews, and a younger sister. The gardeners, cooks, and more than a dozen servants of the Huang Mansion were all shot dead. Everything is the same as folklore, they cut holes in the walls, then stuffed the bodies into the holes one by one, and sealed them with cement. Some people are not dead yet, they are desperately crying out, desperately begging for help. Adjutant Wang walked back and forth among the people who were killed with the child in his arms, strolling leisurely. The miserable cries of the women, as well as the strange laughter of the children in Adjutant Wang's arms, echoed in the yellow mansion for a long time.

"You girl is too heroic, why do you laugh more and more when people die! They're all your relatives! Adjutant Wang laughed.

The antique connoisseur was disgusted by this miserable picture, and gradually the lights in the room dimmed, and all the people in the room disappeared, and Schubert's tunes on the old record player came to an abrupt end. The antique connoisseur rubbed his eyes and found himself still sitting in front of the fireplace. He turned on his flashlight and shone it on the wall of the fireplace, where the old picture hung just like the one he had seen when he first entered the house.

"Zla", the door of the pedestrian passage suddenly opened, and the lock on it was gone. The antique connoisseur left the second floor and walked towards the third floor.
