Hua Tao had already finished drinking two cups of tea in the living room, Hua Tang hadn't shown up yet, Hua Qi had been lying in the room reading novels, seeing that the time was almost up, before leaving the bedroom and entering the kitchen, she had to see if there was any of her favorite dishes on today's recipe.

"Hey, Qi girl..."Hua Tao came over and asked, "What's the matter with the owner, I've been waiting for a long time!" Whether he kills or punishes, he has to see me and tell me in person, right? ”。

"Well, that's right!" Hua Qi replied approvingly, "The owner of the village is upstairs, if you are in a hurry to go up yourself, aunt and grandmother, I still expect to find food on this tree, but I dare not disturb his tranquility...".

Hua Tao shook out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to her as if he was playing a trick, "Grandma, do you know what the owner is looking for me?" ”。

"Ahh Well... Fifth brother, you are very good-looking here, but the owner is not interested in these, and you use it to bribe me..."Hua Qi stretched out his hand and snatched it, and seemed to be very expert in studying it carefully, "An object from the Song Dynasty? It should be worth some silver, right? ”。

Hua Tao smiled slightly disdainfully and asked, "This month's deadline has not yet arrived, why did the owner suddenly order all of them to withdraw?" Isn't it... Something happened again? You've been fooling around here all day, and you can't hear the news at all, right? ”。

"It turns out that Fifth Brother wants to inquire about inside information? You just want to buy me off with such a gadget, are you embarrassed? Hua Qi looked up at the expression on Hua Tao's face and knew what he wanted to ask, and laughed twice, "You don't really think I'm thirteen years old this year, do you?" ”。

"It depends on how much the inside information you give me is worth, and I won't do anything about losing money!" Hua Tao took off a bracelet with a few copper coins from his wrist, shook it in front of Hua Qi's eyes, and asked, "How about this?" But if you dare to fool me...".

Hua Qi snatched the bracelet and played with it, and threw the jade pendant back into Hua Tao's hand with disgust, and then reminded very intimately, "I heard... What an accident! The owner of the village has been looking for something these days, and this matter is not only the owner of the village is tracking, Mr. Kang and Master Lan have also asked, maybe... The consequences are severe! ”。

"The consequences are serious... What's the matter? Hua Tao didn't think about it for a while, and then asked, "They want to find something, what does it have to do with me?" ”。

Hua Qi glanced upstairs, and then replied mysteriously, "Fifth brother, are you dementia?" There are so many masters in the Hua family, if this matter has nothing to do with you, why doesn't the owner look for someone else, is it because it is not pleasing to your eyes? ”。

"He's always looked at me unpleasantly!" Hua Taowu muttered to himself, these cousins of the Hua family are all using the power of 'Yanliu Villa' to mess around outside, and sometimes they do too much to cause trouble and have to find Huatang to settle down, so Huatang is more or less unpleasant to these Hua family members.

Hua Qi put the bracelet on his wrist and looked at it with satisfaction, and said with a real face, "I heard that I lost a bead a few years ago, and someone got it out through special channels." The owner doesn't know where he heard about it...".

Hua Tao's face changed slightly, and then asked, "It's been so long since the owner of the village remembered it, is this hindsight useful?" Besides, does this have anything to do with me? It's all his own brothers, why is he staring at me...".

"Hey, don't get so excited! If it really has nothing to do with you, what are you afraid of? Hua Qi waved his hand impatiently, "You don't believe what I said, Fifth Master, don't talk nonsense to me here, go up and explain to the owner, is there anything to do with him...".

Hua Tao's originally slightly nervous face became a little pale, and when he saw Hua Qi wanting to leave, he stopped her and asked, "What does this have to do with Mr. Kang?" Why did he and Young Master Lan meddle in these idle matters, this is the Hua family's own business! ”。

"Fifth master, whose family's affairs and who wants to meddle are not up to me, a child, to have the final say. Don't compete with me here, keep your sharp teeth and explain to the owner..."Hua Qi quietly pointed behind Hua Tao and motioned for him to look back.

Hua Tang didn't know when he was standing in the living room, or the posture of leaning lazily in front of the window to look at the scenery, as if he was deaf to the conspiracy of the two people here.

"The owner..."Hua Tao hurried over and seemed to be very respectful with a smiling face, "The owner of the village is looking for me, what do you have to say?" ”。

"I haven't ordered it for the time being, I have a few questions I want to ask the fifth master..."Hua Tang still looked at the seaside outside the window, and said without looking back, "The fifth master should already know what I want to ask, right?" ”。

"Huh?" Hua Tao was stunned for a moment, Hua Qi shook the bracelet on her wrist a few times proudly, and then turned around slowly and went to her room, the reason why she was so coincidentally 'bribed' to reveal the news to Hua Tao was completely in accordance with the owner's intentions, otherwise how could she have the courage to make these small actions under Hua Tang's nose?

After Hua Tao wanted to confess this truth, his face changed again, Hua Tang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and because of his cousin's affection, he wanted to give him a chance to confess and be lenient, but this matter was too special for him to bear at all.

"Fifth Master should also know that Mr. Kang and Young Master Lan are very concerned about this matter, you have to give me an answer, and I can help you explain, otherwise..."Hua Tang turned around and his eyes fell on Hua Tao's face, and said lightly, "If you don't say it clearly, Mr. Kang may not give you a chance to explain!" ”。

Hua Tang's words carried a very dark intimidation and reminder, with Kang Ran's character and strength, if he wanted him to tell the truth, it would be a trivial matter at all. But if he misses this opportunity to confess and surrender to Mr. Kang, it is very likely that he will be tortured to extract a confession.

"But this... Owner, we are dear brothers, there are some things that I don't want to hide from you, and besides, I can't do it alone..."As soon as Hua Tao said a word, Hua Tang instructed Hua Qi, who had just gone up the stairs, "Call Kang Xing, just say that Hua Wuye wants to see Mr. Kang...".

"Huh? This... Zhuang owner, this is our Hua family's business, the fifth brother is his own brother, even if he makes a big mistake, this life and death punishment has to be decided by the Zhuang owner..."Hua Qi hurriedly helped to intercede, after all, Hua Tao is her cousin, she can't really fall into the ground.

Whether it was Hua Tang deliberately threatening and intimidating, the problems that their Hua family could solve by themselves should not involve outsiders, although it was because Hua Tang could think of his brotherhood at that time, Mr. Kang might not be so soft-hearted for him, even if he couldn't kill him and let him be ruined, it would be easy to go bankrupt.

Hua Tao hesitated for a few seconds and then knelt on the ground as soon as his legs became weak, and soon squeezed out a flattering smile, "Owner, after all, I am your fifth brother, for the sake of our love for the descendants of the Hua family, if I tell the truth, can you... Spare me and let me fall lightly? ”。

"Yes, the owner, don't be like him, an 'old money fan', the fifth brother is also short of money..."

"Yes, my subordinates are retiring..."Hua Qi didn't dare to say more because she knew the current affairs, but when she passed by Hua Tao's side, she reminded in a low voice, "If you really don't want to die, tell the truth, otherwise no one will be able to save you!" ”。

Hua Tang glanced at Hua Qi lightly and sat down at the tea table, Hua Qi quickly took a cup and poured tea, "Owner, please...".

"I remember that the fifth master seems to like to eat anchovies, let the dining room cook one for him and leave it for dinner..."Hua Tang ordered again.

"Oh... Yes? It's..."Hua Qi smiled bitterly, she had never heard that Hua Tao liked to eat fish. And as we all know, anchovy is spiny and will be very troublesome to eat, it seems that the owner does not want to keep his fifth brother to eat but wants to find trouble, if Hua Tao still wants to go around and around the trouble and want to fool the past, it is estimated that his trouble is really coming.

"The owner wants to ask about the bead? But it's been five years since that incident, and I can't remember many details clearly..."Hua Tao knelt on the ground and complained to himself first, "I was a middleman at the time, just to help them pull a line...".

The teacup lid in Hua Tang's hand fell on the mouth of the cup with a 'dang', although the sound was not loud, Hua Tao was still frightened.
