Chapter 48: The Beggar

"Don't worry, Jingjing, listen to me first!"

Li Tao couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Hua Jingjing so haggard and anxious, and even changed his title from Hua Xiaoniang to Jingjing.

Hua Jingjing realized her gaffe, and she let go of Li Tao. No matter how arrogant and rude Hua Jingjing usually is, she is only a teenage girl after all, and when she encounters such a thing, she is naturally a little dispossessed. She has never relied on someone so much as she does now, perhaps because her father and brother are not there, and Li Tao by her side has become her only support.

"First of all, I can conclude that your eldest uncle was killed by an acquaintance!" Li Tao pondered.

"Acquaintances?" Hua Jingjing was stunned.

"Little master, how did you find out?" Pei Yue asked strangely.

"Old Man Liu's family has a big business, there are hundreds of people up and down, and there are a lot of houses. I've been here for two days, and some of the courtyards haven't been there. And the murderer can easily find the house of the eldest young master of the Liu family, kill him and leave quietly without being discovered, how can he do it if he is not an acquaintance? ”

Hua Jingjing and Pei Yue couldn't help but nod when they heard this.

"Secondly, the murderer must have martial arts or great strength. The eldest young master of the Liu family is in the prime of life, how can someone not resist and call for help? Unless he was restrained by the murderer's move, he couldn't resist and call for help. ”

Speaking of this, Li Tao asked Hua Jingjing: "Jingjing, do you know that the Liu family has martial arts up and down?" ”

Hua Jingjing shook her head and said, "I don't know, but my grandfather must know!" I'll just ask! ”

Li Tao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't ask!" Don't ask! ”

"Why is that?" Hua Jingjing was puzzled.

"Not to mention that I'm just guessing, there is no evidence, if Master Liu investigates, it will inevitably make the Liu family panic, and he may not be able to catch the murderer. What's more, I have a gut feeling that the ultimate goal of the murderer is your grandfather! ”

"What? My grandfather? Hua Jingjing felt cool.

"I haven't finished what I said just now, I don't think the murderer killed the eldest young master for the sake of committing murder, he did it to prove something, otherwise why did he deliberately make these tragic things on the corpse after killing someone?"

"Li Tao! Isn't it the witchcraft of the 'life-snatching beggar'? Hua Jingjing remembered Liu Zhong's words last night, and her body began to tremble.

"Jingjing, if you think so, the murderer's purpose has been achieved, he just wants everyone to believe in that deadly beggar! If you don't believe it, just look at it, the murderer will definitely have a follow-up method! ”

Speaking of this, Li Tao suddenly remembered something, and he instructed Hua Jingjing: "Jingjing, what we said today, you must not tell anyone, lest it lead to death!" Also, you go and discuss with your aunt, and temporarily move to the guest room next door to me and Uncle Yue, so that we can take care of each other! ”

……

After burying his eldest son, Liu Gui seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. When I returned to the room and thought about it carefully, I realized that Liu Zhong's words were not bluffing. Immediately, they increased their manpower to search for the whereabouts of the beggar.

After a few days, not only did the beggar not be found, but the second young master's good person suddenly died in the room mysteriously like the eldest young master overnight. At this time, Liu Gui was convinced of Liu Zhong's words, and hurriedly ordered hundreds of people up and down the Liu family to search day and night.

Finally, in a stinking garbage heap, housekeeper Liu Zhong found the figure of a beggar.

As soon as Liu Gui received the news, he sent eight big arrogants to pick up the beggar.

Before the sedan chair could be stabilized, Liu Gui knelt down in front of the sedan chair and pleaded with tears in his eyes: "God...... Beggar, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and asks the immortals to raise their noble hands to let go of the small family, and the villain is grateful for generations to come......"

After saying that, Liu Gui howled and kowtowed.

But the beggar didn't seem to hear it, and there was no movement in the sedan chair for a long time.

Until the blood knocked out of Liu Gui's forehead slowly flowed down the terrain to the front of the sedan chair. The beggar limped out of the sedan chair barefoot with the support of everyone.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the beggar seemed to be moved with compassion, he slowly raised his head and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven's will! ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head and said to Liu Gui, who was kneeling: "As long as you give up all your belongings and leave here, you will be able to protect your Liu family without hindrance!" ”

Li Tao and Hua Jingjing, who were standing side by side, glanced at each other: they finally knew what the beggar wanted.

Since ancient times, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great! At this point, Liu Gui had already put everything out of the way, and when he heard that he was saved, he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, beggar......"

Who knew that the beggar's face suddenly changed, he waved his hand, and pointed at Liu Hua, who was standing aside and was scared, and said with a smile: "However, this young master still has to stay." I was given this leg by him. Now, I want him to pay it back with blood! ”

After the beggar finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and pointed to his stump leg that was dragging on the ground.

As soon as the words came out, it was like a thunderclap, and everyone was stunned.

Just when Liu Gui didn't know what to do, Liu Hua stood up and said awe-inspiringly: "The eldest husband does things alone, as long as you let my family go." Kill or chop whatever you want! ”

The beggar sneered, and then gave an order: "Tie him up for me!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and didn't know what to do, and looked at Liu Gui in unison.

After a long time, Liu Guicai wiped a handful of old tears, sighed, and choked up in his throat: "From today on, this beggar is your new master, and you will have to listen to him in the future." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out a trembling finger and pointed at the beggar standing beside him.

Only then did everyone tie Liu Hua up and carry him in.

That night, Liu Gui packed up, took the remaining two sons, and quietly left Liu's mansion by moonlight, and went to Shucheng with Mrs. Hua to join her daughter and son-in-law.

Late at night, the Liu family's compound looked extremely eerie and terrifying, and a few bright lights were lit on a stone table in the garden before a hint of vitality was faintly revealed. Under the light, there was a cacophony of chatter and laughter intermittently.

"Beggar, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid the Liu family's huge family business wouldn't be my turn! Come, little brother, I will toast you first! The person in front of the beggar turned out to be Liu Gui's youngest son, Liu Hua.

"No, no, no......" The beggar smiled and waved his hand, and said respectfully: "If you want to respect, you should also respect Brother Liu first!" If he hadn't come up with advice, I wouldn't have been where I am today! ”

"Hmmm! The beggar was right. Come, Brother Liu, little brother toasts you! Liu Hua poured wine for Liu Zhong, who was full of pride, as he spoke.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey! Come on, come on...... Young master, oh, no, no, no...... Master, then I'll do it first! ”
