Chapter 247: The Shadow of Death
(Thank you for the reward of "What is Winter" book friend 1888 starting coin, thank you!) )
Wang Sancai has never found the right time, and now he finally has the opportunity to say what he has always wanted to ask in his heart.
David. Blake sat up from the small bench all of a sudden, and without waiting for Fang Tong to speak, he preemptively said: "Wang Sancai, the dealer is not as calm as you imagined now, after I went with Fang Tong, I have been negotiating with Zhuang Zheng, and Fang Tong is not clear about many things." ”
"Yes, most of the time I spend my time with Miss Zhuang, and she keeps asking me about my eldest brother." Fang Tong did not deny David. Blake's words continued: "There was no accident with the black wind, it has grown a lot, and it is inconvenient to bring it with me, so I left it in the Zhuang family's mansion to accompany Miss Zhuang, and as for the rest, let David tell the eldest brother." ”
"How's that chick doing? What did you tell her? Wang Sancai couldn't help but ask more.
"Miss Zhuang has no problem with her state, but she is a little worried about her eldest brother, especially after hearing that David and I are here to ask for help, she is even more worried about her eldest brother." Fang Tong said truthfully: "But I didn't tell her the details, I just told her that eldest brother, you are imprisoned, and there will be no danger to your life." ”
"I'm bothering you, Kiri." Wang Sancai sighed, and Zhuang Biyun's appearance couldn't help but float in front of him.
Although Zhuang Biyun is just a little girl who doesn't understand the world, Wang Sancai can't forget her, and even those things that happened in the rainforest. It made him feel like it was yesterday.
I don't know if it's because Zhuang Biyun is his "guide" who came to the other world or for some other reason.
But now that he knew that Zhuang Biyun was fine, he didn't want to waste time in this regard, so he turned his head to look at David. Blake: "David, did Uncle Zhuang say anything?" I also heard from the raven just now that you told him that the dealer is not at peace within. ”
"That's right, you can listen to me first...... When I went with Fang Tong, I didn't see Zhuang Zheng, it was Mr. Hai who received us, but he didn't believe that we recognized Zheng Zheng, and he didn't believe that it was important for us to find Zhuang Zheng, and ......" Speaking of which. David. Blake deliberately lowered his voice: "And. I told Fang Tong that we had to tell Zhuang Zhuang himself about something important, and he still held on to us. ”
"So, there's something wrong with this Mr. Hai?" Wang Sancai couldn't help frowning.
But Fang Tong flatly denied it: "David and I thought so at first, but then we found out that he was just for the safety of the banker." Fear that we are the spies of one of their hostile forces. ”
"Why?" Wang Sancai asked.
Fang Tong immediately picked up: "Because just as he was about to throw me and David into the dungeon. Miss Zhuang happened to pass by and appeared. Miss Zhuang recognized me at a glance, and then Mr. Hai knew that there was a misunderstanding. Not only did he apologize to us, but he also personally sent someone to send a message to Patriarch Zhuang, who I heard at that time that Patriarch Zhuang was in a town outside Feiliu City. ”
"Fang Tong is right, we all thought we were going to finish at that time, but we didn't expect the solemn daughter to appear, fortunately she recognized Fang Tong." David. Blake still seemed to be a little apprehensive: "After that, he immediately asked the butler to arrange a room for us, and also showed us around the banker's mansion and some simple information about Feiliu City. ”
"And then?" Wang Sancai took a deep breath: "What do you mean by not being peaceful?" ”
Later ...... "David. Blake's tone sank, and he looked at Fang Tong complicatedly: "We didn't expect that the person who was sent by Mr. Hai to give a message to Patriarch Zhuang ...... He's dead. ”
"Even the carrier pigeons were shot down." Fang Tong added.
"The dealer did it himself?" Wang Sancai was suddenly in good spirits.
David. Blake shook his head and said, "I don't know, but even if there are other forces in Feiliu City, it is impossible for them to be so wild on the dealer's territory, right?" ”
“…… You go on, what happened next? Wang Sancai sighed and changed to a sitting position.
David. Blake simply stood up, walked to the side of the bed, pinched his waist with one hand and supported the bed frame with the other, and said in a low voice: "Later, Mr. Hai asked me to stay with Fang Tong and Zhuang Biyun, and he personally went to that town to inform Patriarch Zhuang and told Patriarch Zhuang what happened, but I want to remind you that when Fang Tong and I rushed to Feiliu City, it was already dusk. ”
"Uncle Zhuang returned with Mr. Hai the next day?" Wang Sancai's heart moved.
David. Blake shook his head: "A lot happened that night. ”
"Oh?" Wang Sancai was stunned.
David. Blake took a deep breath: "That night, Fang Tong and I were conspired against, we learned the lesson of the day, and when we ate at night, we opened our eyes a little more, and then, Fang Tong found that the food was poisonous, even Zhuang Biyun's share was no exception, fortunately, there were a few small dishes that Zhuang Biyun didn't like to eat were not poisoned." ”
"You actually poisoned her too?" Wang Sancai couldn't help but be a little incredulous: "If there is a reason to kill you, then what is the reason for poisoning Zhuang Biyun?" ”
"We quietly ate a little, and when we returned to the room, we found that the poison on the silver needle was sweat medicine." Fang Tong continued: "They didn't want to poison us, they wanted to stun me, David and Miss Zhuang so that they could move at night." ”
"Actions at night?" Wang Sancai couldn't help but stand up.
"I don't know, this is my guess with Fang Tong." David. Blake shook his head slightly: "Because none of the three of us were unconscious, so, nothing happened that night until Zhuang Zhuang and Mr. Hai came back." ”
"What did Uncle Zhuang say?" Wang Sancai looked at David. Blake, casually glancing at the door, lowered his voice: "You were a guest in his house, but you were poisoned, even his daughter was no exception, what is his reaction?" ”
"When Patriarch Zhuang returned, he also brought back the body of the man sent by Mr. Hai to deliver the message, but the body had no head, and the wounds were neat and flat, as if they had been caused after death, and they did not find the body of the carrier pigeon." David. Blake's eyes flashed: "And Patriarch Zhuang ...... The first thing he did when he came back was to search the entire mansion overnight, but unfortunately he didn't find any clues, and he told us that since the last time he brought Zhuang Biyun back from the rainforest, he had noticed something wrong. ”
"I searched all night and didn't find it? Meals have to go through the hands of cooks and subordinates, right? Wang Sancai reminded that he didn't believe that as the head of the clan, he couldn't even think of a place that an outsider with no management experience could think of.
Sure enough, David. Blake smiled helplessly: "All the servants and cooks who handled that night died, because the food they ate also had sweat pills, and then their throats were cut in their sleep. ”
"It's going to get a big deal all of a sudden." Wang Sancai took a deep breath, and suddenly his heart moved: "No, since it has nothing to do with those cooks and subordinates, why do you want to kill them?" ”
"There's only one possibility." David. Blake stared at Wang Sancai tightly: "Those of them must know something, or although they are not directly related to them, they see things that they shouldn't see. ”
By David. As soon as Blake said this, Wang Sancai suddenly felt a chill rise behind him, and he didn't know what kind of trouble he would encounter on this trip, he only felt a shadow of death pressing on his heart, and it was even a little difficult to breathe.
He shook his head vigorously to suppress this heavy feeling, and deliberately changed the subject: "What about after that?" What about when you give Uncle Zhuang the evidence we have found? ”
But, David. Blake didn't answer this question first, but continued the previous topic: "Wang Sancai, before answering your question, it is necessary for me to remind you that after going to Feiliu City, you must guard against two people, because, except for the Zhuang Patriarch, only these two people have direct power in the Zhuang family.
