Chapter 19: Suspicion Returns
It wasn't long before Dean and the others came to a dilapidated wooden house. Because Tang Huan led the way, he was not bumped into by others halfway.
"Uncle Hei, it's me." Tang Huan walked to the door, knocked on the closed door, and called softly.
"Jiaowa, I'm back so soon." After Tang Huan's words were finished, a few rustling sounds slowly came from the dead room.
Although Uncle Hei's words seemed ordinary, in Di'an's ears, his pupils shrank slightly. What an old fox, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
There was a knock in the door, and the door opened.
Uncle Hei walked out step by step with a wooden cane, although his body looked weaker than last time, but there was a wordless power in his every move. Although the thick white eyebrows on the forehead almost obscured the vision, the eyes the size of soybeans were like two vicious wolves hiding in the grass, crawling motionless, just waiting for the appearance of the other party's Achilles' heel.
"This is Di Langjun." As soon as he came out, his eyes fell on Dian's. Regarding Dian's sudden arrival, he only raised his eyebrows slightly, and then quickly returned to normal.
Uncle Hei's voice was a little hoarse, as if there were a lot of gravel stuck in his throat, which was very unpleasant. However, Dean didn't care about so much, he arched his hand at Uncle Hei, and replied unhurriedly: "It's the junior." ”
"The humble house is shabby, and I have wronged Di Gong." Uncle Hei hunched his back and stepped aside.
Dean naturally understood Uncle Hei's intentions, so he didn't say much, and walked in with Tang Huan.
Uncle Hei coughed towards the firewood room next to his right, and the young man dressed as a small slave pushed open the door and walked out. Uncle Hei gave the boy a look, then turned around and walked into the room.
"The old slave pays a visit to Di Gong." As soon as he walked in front of Dian, Uncle Hei bent his knees and knelt on the ground.
Uncle Hei's sudden move really caught Dean off guard, but fortunately, he was extremely adaptable, so he immediately leaned down and was about to help Uncle Hei up. But when he grabbed Uncle Hei's arms, he found that Uncle Black was like he was glued to the ground.
"Uncle Hei, if you have anything to say, I will do my best." He didn't continue to pull alive, but stopped what he was doing.
"Woo woo......" Uncle Hei raised his head, but he was already over the age of six, but he cried like a wronged child, "Di Gong, Ah Lang died unjustly!" He said with tears in his eyes, although his eyes were extremely sad, but also with a little relief, and finally he didn't have to bear the torture in his heart anymore.
Tang Huan couldn't stand it anymore, and just wanted to come over and persuade him, but saw Dean shake his head. He knew that what Uncle Hei needed at the moment was not comfort, but a hearty cry. Only in this way can Uncle Hei eliminate the long-standing emotions in his heart. And only when Uncle Hei has no psychological burden, then the next conversation will become smoother.
"The old slave has lost his temper, and he still looks forward to Di Gonghaihan." Uncle Hei cried for a while before he gradually came back to his senses.
Dean comforted Uncle Hei while helping him up: "Uncle Hei is serious. However, the past is gone, and Uncle Hei must not be too obsessed. I believe that this is also what Tang Mingfu wants to see. ”
Uncle Hei nodded obediently, then bent down and arched his hand: "I'm annoyed that Duke Lao Di is worried." The old slave has been with Ah Lang for more than 30 years, and he has long regarded him as his own child. Now that he has died in vain, the old slave's heart has long been empty. If it weren't for the great revenge, it wouldn't have been postponed to this point. ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but wipe the tears in his eyes with his sleeve, and then turned to Tang Huan and said, "Jiaowa, the old slave is unwell, can you bother to go to the kitchen to make some good tea to entertain Di Gong?" ”
Before Dian could say anything, Tang Huan replied unhappily: "Uncle Hei, don't ......" He was only halfway through the words, but he saw that Uncle Hei's eyes darkened slightly. Although her original intention was only to target Dian, but rejecting Uncle Hei on the spot would inevitably save his face, so realizing this, she swallowed the words on her lips.
"Okay." She nodded compromisedly, glared at Dean who was stealing fun, and walked out the door.
"I'm very picky about my tastes, so I have to cook it myself." Dean walked to the door and yelled at Tang Huan, who was drifting away, and then no matter how Tang Huan reacted, he turned to Uncle Hei and said, "You are really cautious enough, even she can't believe it?" ”
Uncle Hei shook his head, stretched out his hand to make a gesture, and explained with a frown: "Although the old slave heard that Ah Lang said that there is this niece, he has never seen it before, so it is better to be careful." Moreover, the old slave can see that she is a filial girl, and letting her know some things that she shouldn't know will cause her a lot of unnecessary trouble. And if she has three longs and two shorts, what face will the old slave have to see Ah Lang after a hundred years. ”
"So you chose me to be your pawn?" Dean walked over to a couch and joked as he sat on it.
Dian's words were very sharp, but Uncle Hei didn't even lift his eyelids after hearing it. He slowly walked to Dian's side, arched his hand at Dian, and said respectfully: "Di Gong, Ming people don't say dark words, if you want to ask, just say it directly." ”
"Just tell me about the troubles you talk about." Dean touched his chin and replied with a smile.
"This has to start with the rape more than ten days ago." Uncle Hei nodded, and after a long sigh, he fell into the memory.
Eighteen days ago, Uncle Hei drove back to the Tang Mansion in a carriage as usual. Although he is over the age of six, because he practiced a few tricks when he was young, Tang Qi will take him with him every time he goes out. He's not a groom, though. In fact, he would only drive when Don Qi went to see that person.
Although Tang Qigui is the lord of a county, every time he meets that person, he always hides, as if he is afraid that a third person will know. However, although Tang Qi was always tight-lipped about this matter, he was not so guarded against Uncle Hei. Although he didn't directly tell him what the person's surname was, he also inadvertently revealed the identity of the person who came, a close confidant of a high-ranking official in Hangzhou. Although Wu Kang's county order and the secret contact between Hangzhou officials were a little abnormal, Uncle Hei didn't think about it so much, and this was not something he should think about.
After returning to the Tang Mansion, Tang Qi went to the study to deal with the day's official business, and he also placed the carriage and horses in the stable. He wanted to go back to the house to change his clothes, but he didn't want Xiao Si to run over with a look of urgency.
Xiaosi is an abandoned baby raised by him, although he is a mute, but for him who has no children under his knees, it is also a rare family happiness.
"Bah, ah......" Xiao Siyi ran in front of him, and before he could breathe, he kept gesturing.
Although to outsiders, Xiao Si's language is as obscure as a wordless heavenly book, Uncle Hei knew what Xiao Si wanted to express in a moment.
"You can see it!" After listening to Xiao Si's description, Uncle Hei couldn't help but widen his eyes. The lady actually stayed in a room with a man in black for half an hour, and the door was closed...... He didn't dare to think about the following picture, and was about to go to Tang Qi with Xiao Si, but after taking two steps, he stopped again.
After all, this matter is not trivial, if Xiao Si is wrong, then the guilt is not small. Therefore, he had always been cautious, so he decided to investigate first, and in a short time he came outside the room. As soon as he listened to it, two waves of anger lit up in his eyes.
He has always been steady for the first time, he didn't control his emotions, and he didn't tell Ah Lang as planned, so he kicked the door open.
