Chapter 440: Murder Outside the Mansion

Outside the Hou Mansion.

There is a splendid decoration for the rich to relax and entertain.

In the box on the top floor of this place, at this moment, there is a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, who is pouring himself wine with a frenzied face, and let him drink it while slowly savoring it.

Just then, a doorbell rang outside the door.

"Come in. ”

The middle-aged man with the scar put down his wine glass, and then stared at the door with a serious face.

Crunch.

The door opened.

A young man walked in from outside.

Seeing this young man, the middle-aged man with the scar said without any change in his expression: "How is the Hou family on the other side?"

"Back to Brother Scar. ”

The young man who walked in said with a flattering face: "Sure enough, as Brother Scar expected, as soon as the Hou family's loser prince came out, he immediately summoned the major branches of the Hou family. Now the major branches of the Hou family have rushed from other places, planning to hold a 100-year-old banquet for the old lady of the Hou family in advance today to discuss how to solve the matter of the Hou family's crown prince's failure. ”

"Oh. ”

I saw the young man with the scar, stroked the scar on his face, and then said: "Among these branches of the Hou family, are there any outstanding clansmen?"

"Is it better?"

After recalling it carefully, the young man slowly spoke: "According to the situation we investigated, only the eldest and second marquis are barely getting ahead. When the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh families were separated, they didn't get any capital, and they did nothing all their lives, so they didn't have any achievements, so they could only barely mix a little food and clothing. However, among the three generations, there is a deputy county magistrate, which can barely be mentioned. As for the four generations, there are basically no characters that can be eye-catching. ”

"Oh. ”

I saw that Brother Scar responded lightly, and asked puzzledly: "I remember that among the second generation of the Hou family, it should be the eighth son, why is there only the news of the seventh son in the intelligence you investigated?"

"Brother Scar remembers well, the Hou family is indeed the eighth son. ”

The young man nodded and said in agreement: "But the eighth of the eight sons, when he was young, he disobeyed the old family master, refused to marry a powerful family, and eloped with an ordinary woman. Later, although he came back a few times, he never returned to his family tree, so he could only do nothing in a rural village in the north. ”

"That's right!"

Brother Scar breathed a sigh of relief, he originally had some nervous heart, but now he can let go completely, I saw him look up at the roof and said, "It seems that the Hou family has reached a dead end, and there is no chance to turn over at all." ”

"That's true. ”

The young man responded to Brother Scar and said, "How can those inactive people of the Hou family be your Brother Scar's opponents?"

"Okay, don't be a sycophant anymore. ”

Brother Scar shook his head, then poured a glass of wine for the young man and said: "Since the Hou family is already a grasshopper after the autumn, then you pay attention to it, and when the Hou family's 100th birthday banquet is held at its happiest, let me go in and give them a fatal blow and completely destroy the foundation of the Hou family for decades." ”

"Yes!"

The young man nodded, drained the wine in the glass on the table in one go, and then turned around and left: "Brother Scar, don't worry, we will definitely help you fulfill your long-cherished wish to take revenge on the Hou family." ”

"Hopefully. ”

Seeing the young man leave, Brother Scar took out a pendant from his clothes.

I saw Ye Xiaohu open the pendant, and looked at the photo inside the pendant and said: "Grandparents, parents and fathers, don't worry, I will definitely let you take revenge, so that those who harmed you back then will fall one by one, and your wives will be separated, and your family will be ruined." ”

......

The entrance of the Hou family mansion.

Unlike the banquet held by the Hou Family Mansion in previous years, this year it was held in a hurry, so there were not many guests on contact. The second is that the Hou family has declined year by year in recent years, and many people have completely given up on the Hou family and are unwilling to contact the Hou family.

"Hah. ”

"This year's old lady's 100th birthday banquet is really boring, and I can't receive a few guests a day. Seeing that the official day of the 100th birthday banquet is approaching, no one is coming. ”

"Whatever? Anyway, we are all people with foreign surnames, but we just work for the Hou family. If the Hou family can rise again, then it is naturally very good. If the Hou family falls, then can we also change to another family and work again? ”

"That's right, let's work hard. ”

At this moment, a taxi stopped on the opposite side, and a family of three came down.

It's not very expensive for three people to wear, but it's not very cheap either.

It's just that if you don't drive by yourself, then it's very bad, after all, who knows the layer of skin on your body in this year, whether it's real or fake?

"May I ask a few brothers, is this the Hou Family Mansion?"

I saw a young man in a family of three, who went straight to the Hou family mansion after getting out of the car, and asked softly: "We are the descendants of Mr. Hou Shousheng, and after receiving the call from the Hou family, we immediately rushed here to attend the old lady's 100th birthday banquet." ”

"Hou Shousheng's descendants?"

The person in charge of the gatekeeper obviously didn't know the eighth master who had been walking for decades.

However, since the family on the opposite side received a call to come to the Hou family's mansion, it must be a direct relative of the Hou family.

In this case, after hearing Ye Xiaohu's narration, the person in charge of guarding the gate said: "Since the three of you are invited, then please sign the name of this place, and then hand over the gift to us." ”

"Okay. ”

Ye Xiaohu nodded, then picked up the ballpoint pen on the side.

first wrote down my grandfather's name, and then wrote down the names of myself and my parents.

After writing and letting the staff of the Hou Family Mansion make sure that there was no problem, Ye Xiaohu put the gift on the gift platform on the side, and then followed an employee who was responsible for leading the way and walked directly into the interior of the Hou Family Mansion.

Walking in, Ye Xiaohu and the others understood how rich the Hou family was back then.

The so-called rockery, fake water, fake world, the Hou family mansion is full of all kinds of southern buildings, which makes people look at it at a glance as if they are in the south.

At this time, a stereotypical middle-aged man walked up, an employee who was responsible for leading the way for Ye Xiaohu and others, and when he saw the stereotypical middle-aged man, he immediately said respectfully: "Big housekeeper." ”

"Yes. ”

The stereotypical middle-aged man nodded, and then commanded: "Since there are guests, then you should go and get busy first, so as not to delay the guests." ”

The stereotypical middle-aged man turned to leave, so Ye Xiaohu and his party continued to walk forward, and soon came to the banquet hall.
