Chapter 49 A plan within a plan
There were only empty plates left at the table, and those who should have left had gone.
Only those who stayed now were Li Ji's true friends, because Li Ji had already instructed the old butler to let them stay in advance.
They were drinking wine and clapping their hands, watching the girls with their waists like green snakes dancing with their graceful postures.
When you look at a group of beautiful women, it's hard to pay attention to anything else.
So these people didn't know what happened in the backyard just now, and of course no one would have thought that anyone would kill Li Ji at this time.
The girls jumped from the stage to the ground, and slowly jumped into the arms of these people.
Some people's hands have begun to swim restlessly on the girls' bodies, and wine is something that can make people excited, and it is something that makes you have no resistance to women.
The old butler always showed up when it was time to appear, so now he appeared again.
The old butler walked up to the stage slowly, and said in a small voice: "The backyard has prepared rooms for you, and I can see that everyone is tired and needs to rest." ”
The rest of the dozen laughed and led the girls to the backyard, no matter what they had to talk about tomorrow, they only talked to the girls tonight.
Soon the place was empty, and only the figure of the old butler was left.
Suddenly, the old butler's eyes lit up, and he looked into the darkness ahead.
Two people slowly walked out of the darkness, looking at the old butler with strange eyes.
The old housekeeper looked at the two people who were walking slowly and said helplessly: "I said a long time ago that you two are not porters. ”
The two people who walked out were Xiong Yu and Xiaoyaozi.
Xiong Yu looked at the old housekeeper and said, "We're not. ”
The old housekeeper squinted at Xiong Yu and said, "Then what are you here for?" ”
Xiong Yu didn't answer, but said, "Li Ji is dead." ”
The old butler did not make a surprised expression, but said extremely calmly: "I have long thought that he will have today. ”
Xiong Yu stared at the old butler and said, "You know?"
The old housekeeper smiled and said: "Although he has long stopped walking around the rivers and lakes, the debts he left in the rivers and lakes have to be repaid by himself after all." ”
Xiong Yu looked at Xiaoyaozi with strange eyes.
Xiaoyaozi said: "Forget it, let's go, Li Ji is dead, and our revenge has been avenged." ”
Xiong Yu nodded, and the two of them no longer looked at the old butler, turned around and disappeared into the night.
The old housekeeper walked tremblingly, with a long sigh in his mouth, at this moment he showed the fatigue of an old man, no matter how shrewd he was, he was an old man after all, now he knew that Li Ji was dead, he had nowhere to go, should he consider finding a quiet place to end his old age quietly.
Regardless, the news of Li Ji's death spread throughout the town the next day.
The day after the birthday feast is a funeral, which is a funny and ironic thing.
All the houses that were still hung with red lanterns yesterday have been replaced with white lanterns.
People on the street were talking, speculating about how Li Ji died.
The speculation was terrifying, and in the morning there were eight theories, eight speculations about Li Ji's death.
The most reliable one is that in the middle of the night, when Li Ji was sleeping, a masked man with a height of nine feet killed Li Ji under the slogan of doing the right thing for heaven.
Anyway, now that Li Ji is dead, people are still very happy, although they can't show it on their faces, but everyone has already thanked the person who killed Li Ji thousands of times in their hearts.
What do you think when you wake up and find that someone who was still having a birthday party yesterday and has at least thirty years to live has died?
When Hong Tianda heard the old housekeeper say this sadly, he was stunned for a moment.
He even suspected that the old man in front of him was playing tricks on himself, but when he saw the old man dressed in white linen clothes draped over his body, he felt that he was not joking.
Hong Tianda glared at the old housekeeper and said, "You said Li Ji is dead?"
The old butler bent down and said, "Yes." ”
Hong Tianda shouted: "But yesterday I saw that he was still fine, why did he die after not seeing him overnight." ”
The old butler sighed: "Life is impermanent, who can know what their tomorrow will look like." ”
Hong Tianda said: "How did he die." ”
The old butler said, "I was killed." ”
Hong Tianda exclaimed: "But his sword skills are very high. ”
The old butler said indifferently: "His sword skills are not the best in the world. ”
Hong Tianda didn't ask, only whispered, "Where is Second Brother Li now." ”
The old butler pointed to the front and said, "It's in the front hall." ”
Hong Tianda's eyes were red and he strode forward.
Although the others were not like Hong Tianda, they also showed surprised expressions, the first day was a birthday banquet, and the second day was a funeral, which was definitely a thing that could laugh to death.
The people who had just left the day before gathered here again today, but everyone who came back had a very strange expression on their faces, and this kind of psychological shock was really difficult to accept.
The old housekeeper stood in front of Li Ji's coffin at this moment and said, "Thank you for coming to see Li Ji for the last time, I thank you for him." ”
Saying that, the old housekeeper left two lines of turbid tears, although there were people crying next to him, these were Li Ji's aunts and wives before his death, but all of them couldn't compare to a drop of the old housekeeper's tears.
Everyone standing below could see that only the old housekeeper was really sad, and the aunts and wives were only concerned about how much silver and how much house they could share.
Li Ji is dead, and the old butler can't continue to stay here, not everyone trusts the old housekeeper like Li Ji, and not everyone will reuse an eighty-year-old old man who doesn't know when he will die of old age like Li Ji.
That night, the Li Mansion set up a table again and put wine and food on it, and unlike yesterday, no one was talking noisily tonight.
Everyone quietly finished their meal and said hello to the old butler and left.
Slowly, there was only one person left, and only the old housekeeper was still on the table alone drinking a cup of champion red.
No one likes to drink tea that becomes cold and bitter, just as no one will ever have a relationship with a dead person anymore.
Li Ji's death proves exactly this.
But suddenly another person appeared in front of the old butler, and at once he blocked the light from the lantern.
The old housekeeper looked up and saw that it was Hong Tianda, whose eyes were full of red.
Unable Hong Tianda to speak, the old housekeeper poured a glass of wine for Hong Tianda and said: "I can see that Li Ji has made a lot of friends over the years, but you are the only real friend." ”
Hong Tianda drank it all and said, "How can you see it." ”
The old butler looked at Hong Tianda with blazing eyes and said: "You never appeared today, just because you don't want to see those hypocritical people, and you appear now just because you are Li Ji's true friend, and you want to see him for the last time." ”
Hong Tianda smiled and said, "I can also see that you are a good friend of Li Ji, I respect you." ”
The old butler raised his glass and drank it down, and his face immediately turned red.
Hong Tianda looked at the old housekeeper and said, "Don't be reluctant, I just want to know who killed Li Ji." ”
The old butler coughed and said, "You want to take revenge." ”
Hong Tianda said: "Someone has to do this, I don't think you can do it anymore, of course only I go." ”
The old butler said, "I can't tell you. ”
Hong Tianda glared at the old housekeeper and said, "Why can't you tell me." ”
The old butler grabbed the wine glass tightly and said, "Because I don't know who killed Li Ji." ”
Hong Tianda suddenly lay on the table as if deflated.
The old housekeeper patted Hong Tianda on the shoulder and said, "You are really Li Ji's good friend, but where does a dead man still need friends." ”
The meaning of this is that if you want to be a friend of the dead, you must first become a dead man.
Now that Hong Tianda is also dead, of course he can be Li Ji's friend.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in front of the light, and two more people sat opposite the old butler.
The two of them looked at Hong Tianda lying on the table in unison, and turned their eyes to the old housekeeper in unison.
The old butler also stared at the two of them, only to hear one of them, who was a little older, say to the old butler in a tone that seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "I don't know if we need to die to be friends with you." ”
