Chapter 239: Accident or Murder?
"Are you telling me the conditions?" Qiao Nianxi lowered the corners of his eyes slightly, and a chill was added to his calm face. (5) ∨ eight (5) ∨ eight (5) ∨ read (5) ∨ books, .●.●o
can feel that the secret in Hu Ba's mouth is related to himself, even if he cares, he can't show it, the so-called psychological tactics, the momentum must first overpower him!
"No!
Hu Ba paused, looked up at Qiao Nianxi, his eyes rolled, and hurriedly said good words: "Isn't this to save your life, if the third lady saves the life of the slave, this right should be to repay you!"
Qiao Nianxi was quite satisfied with Hu Ba's reaction, and nodded: "Then tell me, if your secret really satisfies me, I don't mind running this trip." ”
"Ouch, thank you, Miss Three!"
Hu Ba hurriedly kowtowed to Qiao Nian, got up and raised his head, with a touch of mystery on his face: "Uncle was killed in Bukong Mountain back then, not Qingyuan Mountain!"
"What did you say!"
Qiao Nianxi's face froze, turned his head to look at Hu Ba, and a cold light flashed between his eyes: "What do you know, say it quickly!"
Hu Ba trembled at Qiao Nianxi's sharp gaze, and suddenly regretted telling Qiao Nianxi this, but the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't take it back if he wanted to, so he could only bite the bullet.
"Before the uncle came back, he wrote a letter saying that he wanted to go from Qingyuan Mountain, but in fact they walked on the Bukong Mountain, and there was a cliff barrier in the Bukong Mountain. ”
Saying this, Hu Ba's face became serious, as if he was thinking about the picture at that time, and his brows frowned slightly.
Speaking of which, the uncle was very good to those of them who grew up in Qiao's family since childhood, but it is a pity that such a good person did not end well.
Qiao Nianxi's scrutinizing gaze fell on Hu Ba's face, although it didn't look like he was lying, but this person had been with Qiao Hongyuan for many years, so he couldn't easily believe it, thinking about it, there was a touch of scrutiny between his eyes
"How do you know this? Since you know, why don't you tell Hou Ye to let them go and find the corpse?"
Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I heard Master Wunian say that the Qiao family was searching in Qingyuan Mountain like crazy at that time, if he told the truth at that time, it would be a credit, but Hu Ba has been hiding it for so many years, which is obviously unreasonable!
"Everyone received a handwritten letter from the uncle and was sure that he was on the path of Qingyuan Mountain, what qualifications do I have to talk nonsense in front of the master?"
Hu Ba looked up at Qiao Nianxi, the expression on his face changed and finally regained his calm, and sighed: "I didn't follow the uncle at the time, I heard about it from Xingwang, Xingwang was with the uncle at that time, and he was the only one who came back, he came back with his last breath, and he swallowed his breath after only saying this sentence to me." ”
Qiao Nianxi looked down at Hu Ba, his eyes were sharp and compelling, knowing that he had reservations in his words, he thought about it and said: "It seems that Master Hou has raised a loyal minion, but what if I tell you that I can detoxify the poison of the soul?"
Hearing the word "broken soul", Hu Ba's face changed, and he looked up at Qiao Nianxi, full of surprise and panic!
"You...... Where's my mother!"
As he spoke, Hu Ba suddenly stood up and was about to walk towards Qiao Nianxi, but before he could get close, he was stopped by Saiyue.
Qiao Nianxi looked at Hu Ba, her face remained unchanged, and she seemed to be very satisfied with his reaction, and the corners of her lips hooked up a weird smile: "Don't be so nervous, your mother is fine, at least you don't have to be forced to take chronic poison every day." ”
Hu Ba was so shocked that the corners of his mouth kept trembling, and for a while, as if he wanted to understand, his knees bent, and he knelt in front of her with a plop.
"If the third young lady can save my mother's life, Hu Badao Mountain and Sea of Fire will endure it!" As he spoke, Hu Ba lay on the ground and kowtowed three times to Qiao Nianxi.
For so many years, the reason why Hu Ba has been loyal to Qiao Hongyuan is completely because his mother was secretly cut off by him, it is said that there is no antidote to the broken soul, and the way to continue his life is to continue to take another chronic poison, the two poisons restrain each other, and fight poison with poison.
Hu Ba has been dependent on his mother since he was a child, although he has done a lot of bad things, he is also a filial son, and it is precisely because of this that he has to stay by Qiao Hongyuan's side.
It is precisely because of this that Qiao Nianxi chose him, after all, he has been by Qiao Hongyuan's side for so many years, maybe he can know some clues about the poison in his mouth, but he thought that he would be pulled over when the time came, but he didn't want to send him to the door himself.
Thinking about it, Qiao Nianxi glanced down at Hu Ba, stabilized her mind and said: "I won't use your mother to blackmail you, but since I saved your mother, you should repay me, you are a smart person, what to say and what to do, you don't need me to say." ”
Hu Ba's eyes sank, and before he opened his mouth, a layer of fine sweat oozed from his forehead, and after thinking for a long time, he raised his head, and his face was a little more solemn.
"Uncle's matter, I have some fragmentary clues, most of them are speculation and have not been investigated, after all, my mother is controlled by Hou Ye, I dare not joke with her life. ”
As he spoke, Hu Ba furrowed his brows, seeing that Qiao Nianxi's face was still calm and unchanged, and continued: "Before the uncle went out, the Hou Ye sent all the cars in the house to be repaired, and the strange thing is that after the uncle left, Jiang Chengcheng, an old man who had worked in the car shop for ten years, left. ”
Qiao Nianxi's face turned pale, as if he heard something from Hu Ba's words, and turned his head to look at him: "Go on!"
"Xingwang came back that day, I met him at the door first, although he couldn't speak clearly, but I seemed to hear a 'harm' word, when I asked him to make it clear, Hou Ye arrived, and Xingwang died after him. ”
Hu Ba said while thinking about the situation at that time, although it was a long time, he still remembered it vividly.
After all, they are partners who have grown up together, and it is still difficult to let go of the pain when they see Xingwang die in front of them.
Qiao Nianxi's face was gloomy, and her hands were clenched uncontrollably under her sleeves!
The car shop guy who left suddenly, different routes, cliffs, stones, and the little guy who died without mentioning it in one breath, there seems to be an inextricable connection!
Thinking about it, Qiao Nianxi's nerves in his whole body tensed, and he forcibly suppressed the boiling emotions in his heart for a while, and glanced at Hu Ba: "Get up, I'll go with you to see Qiao Hongyuan!"
Hu Ba paused, listening to the three words "Qiao Hongyuan" that Qiao Nianxi said, his face froze uncontrollably: "Three, Miss San, you won't ......"
"Now there are only your scattered clues, no evidence, I don't know anything, and you haven't said anything!"
Turning his head and throwing a word to Hu Ba, Qiao Nianxi raised his feet and walked towards Qiao Hongyuan's yard, falling to the ground step by step, and the haze in his heart became heavy!
Hu Ba was stunned and instantly understood, and hurriedly got up and followed.
Wind Pavilion Temple.
Qiao Hongyuan didn't fall asleep all night, and now he is lying on the bed, a pair of dark circles under his eyes are particularly obvious, and the pain is difficult to suppress, and the humming sound in his mouth has not stopped!
Amber stood on the side and guarded all day, and listened to Qiao Hongyuan humming all day, occasionally turning his head to look at him with a bruised and swollen face, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but his heart was changing uncontrollably.
Qiao Nianxi walked as she walked, her mood gradually calmed down, and she followed Hu Ba around, but she didn't know how many corridors she had passed, and finally arrived at Fengting Courtyard.
This is the first time Qiao Nianxi has come to Qiao Hongyuan's yard, and a screen at the door is facing him, and the green mountains and green bamboos on the screen are floating between the light smoke, which is an elegant and indifferent feeling, but for some reason, the more he goes inside, the more he feels an irresistible disgust.
Maybe it's because this is how I feel about Qiao Hongyuan!
Suppressing the boredom in her heart, Qiao Nianxi followed Hu Ba inside, and the little guy who was guarding the door from a distance saw her coming, and shouted inside with a loud voice.
Qiao Hongyuan's snorting voice stopped suddenly, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the door, and hurriedly retracted his gaze to look at Amber: "I can't see a flaw in the injury on my face, right?"
Amber held the sword's hand for a moment, looked down at Qiao Hongyuan's face, and there was still no emotion in his voice: "I can't see it." ”
The injury on Qiao Hongyuan's face was not so serious, but he deliberately made it miserable just for the sake of acting, and it was no wonder that people didn't take his father seriously.
Qiao Hongyuan didn't have time to think about anything else now, listening to Amber's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly retracted into the quilt, closed his eyes and continued to hum.
Qiao Nianxi followed Hu Ba's guidance into the house, and when she entered the door, she first saw Qiao Hongyuan's beating eyelids, the corners of her lips hooked up a sneer, and she raised her feet and entered the room without speaking, just standing on the side and looking at him.
For a long time, Qiao Hongyuan couldn't hear Qiao Nianxi speak, and it seemed that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he opened his eyes tremblingly.
"Nian Xi, you're here!"
As he spoke, he seemed to be holding his body to get up, and his heart said that I had an injury on my body, and you as a daughter had to stop me from moving.
However, Qiao Hongyuan's thinking always stayed in the place where everyone complimented him, but he forgot that Qiao Nianxi didn't take his father seriously from the beginning!
"Is there anything Hou Ye looking for me?"
Qiao Nianxi watched Qiao Hongyuan grit his teeth and get up, his face was calm without a trace of change, and even turned around and sat on the chair next to him as he spoke, ignoring the bitter love scene he directed and acted in!
Qiao Hongyuan froze, turned his head to look at Qiao Nianxi, and his back molars were crushed, but now that he has a request, he has to stare at it, but he also has to laugh: "For my father, I have something I want to discuss with you!"
As he spoke, Qiao Hongyuan turned his head and glared at Hu Ba, and said in his heart that she couldn't help her, can't you see it? Starting
Hu Ba followed Qiao Hongyuan's side, and when he saw his glare, he instantly understood the meaning, and hurriedly went over to support him, with the same expression on his face as usual.
"You see, yesterday, His Royal Highness King Liang has punished your eldest sister and made her suffer in the prison of the Xingsi Mansion for another night, is your anger gone?"
Qiao Hongyuan said, his eyes looked at Qiao Nianxi's face, and his heart became nervous.
Qiao Nianxi took the tea handed by the maid and was drinking, listening to Qiao Hongyuan's words, his hands froze, and a sneer appeared on his lips: "Master Hou thinks that all this is to vent for me?"
I didn't pay attention just now, but now that I clearly heard Qiao Nianxi call himself "Hou Ye", Qiao Hongyuan's face was a little unbearable: "I'm your father!"
"So you remember?"
Qiao Nianxi raised her eyebrows and glanced at Qiao Hongyuan, and a weird smile appeared on her lips.
