Chapter 317 Why did she admit it directly?
The donkey cart was still parked not far away. Two people were left to guard it, and the other ten people put on masks and quietly approached the house.
Unlike the last time when he kicked the door directly, this time Huo Bing reached out his long knife and placed it on the door bolt, moving it to the right little by little until he heard the door bolt click. He reached out and pushed it lightly, and the wooden door slowly opened.
The room was pitch black. Knowing that there was an old maid in the inner room, Huo Bing took Feng Xing and Feng Tao into the inner room, while the other men guarded the door.
"Ah~ Who are you? You bold and unruly people! What are you going to do to me, an old woman?"
"Do you know who my master is? Be careful or your body will be destroyed!"
"Please don't kill me, I'll give you whatever you want..."
The voice coming from the inner room changed from arrogance at the beginning to low pleading at the end, all in just a moment. Feng Meng raised the corners of his mouth. Needless to say, it must have been his two sisters who took action.
In the room, Huo Bing had already blown the fire stick to light the oil lamp on the wooden table.
The light was as small as a bean, and the wick swayed to illuminate the room.
Although the room was not big, it was fully equipped with a kang, a kang table, new quilts, mattresses, wooden cabinets, camphorwood boxes, etc.
Lying on the ground was an old maid and two little maids who were kneeling tremblingly.
Feng Xing took a few steps forward and opened the wooden cabinet, only to see it filled with various fabrics and clothes. She was deeply moved by what she saw: wealthy families are really different, even if it's just a servant coming out to do something, they are so thorough and particular!
She lived alone in a house with a large courtyard, and she even found another room to store her grain, so as not to disturb her peace.
No matter how high the status of a nanny is, she is still a servant, right? But she still has two maids serving her;
There was a row of tall, large wooden cabinets, containing more than twenty sets of winter clothes, from inside to outside, large and small. Judging from the colors and styles, they must belong to the old nanny alone.
There were five camphorwood boxes. The two top boxes contained new bedding, the two in the middle contained clothes, probably belonging to the two maids, and the bottom boxes contained various odds and ends.
Feng Tao emptied the three camphorwood boxes, leaving only a few small changes of silver.
Obviously, the silver and money are not mainly kept here.
Lai Ma was pulled off the kang in her underwear and prostrated on the cold ground, tears and snot streaming down her face. Thinking of her previous warning, her pleading voice became much lower: "Please spare my life, my dear! No, please spare my life, my lady! As long as you let me go, I will give you all this silver!"
She shouldn't have taken this job just for Aunt Qiu's trust!
Not only did I have to travel thousands of miles from the capital, but I also had to look for people and endure the cold, and I didn't have enough food to eat or sleep well. Nothing was good about it, and nowhere was as prosperous and comfortable as the capital.
Feng Tao sneered, and her words were particularly fierce and unreasonable: "Even if I don't let you go, the silver will still be ours! You don't even need to give it to us."
The color drained from Nanny Lai's face, leaving it pale and her whole body swayed with fear.
Why not let her go? Are these people out to kill her for money?
She gritted her teeth and said, "I, I still have some money. If you let me go, I'll give it all to you!"
"We'll talk about this later." Feng Xing pulled the armchair near the window and placed it behind Huo Bing. She said, "Sister, sit down and ask carefully. We're not in a hurry."
Feng Tao turned her wrist and threatened angrily: "Yes, if they dare not answer properly, let's see who is stronger, my fist or their body!"
This time, to use Jiang Xiangzhong's words, they came not only to know the facts but also the reasons behind them.
These people want Huo Bing's life, they want to know why!
Lai Ma Ma lowered her head, her inverted triangle eyes moving rapidly in thought. After a moment, she looked up at the person sitting in the armchair and asked tentatively, "Are you Huo Bing?"
"Yes." Huo Bing admitted readily, but he showed no intention of taking off the mask on his head.
My mother specifically told me that I could be flexible in my attempts to get answers, using both true and false statements, but I should avoid revealing my appearance if possible. Otherwise, it would be impossible to draw a portrait, and it would be safer.
Nanny Lai took a deep breath, then quickly lowered her head, her mind racing as she thought of a solution.
At the same time, I thought of Liu Sheng with resentment. He was so useless!
With so much silver and food, he confidently said yesterday that he had recruited 350 to 360 people. If the previous batch of disaster victims could not be found, 500 people would not be a problem.
Even though he couldn't find the victims, he still gathered nearly four hundred people and went there. It was just a small village, but in the end, the main character Huo Bing escaped!
What the hell is this? Idiot!
Huo Bing couldn't see Lai Ma's expression, so he asked in a low voice, "Tell me, why do you want to kill me?"
Nanny Lai wondered how much Huo Bing knew. A nine-year-old child can remember things, but Huo Qinglin's mother only cares about herself and doesn't tell her the truth. Isn't it normal that she doesn't know?
She couldn't lie completely, because Huo Bing wouldn't believe it. Only a mixture of truth and falsehood could convince people: "...your mother is not a good person. She knew that the master loved someone else, but she relied on her family background to marry the master. She was arrogant and domineering in the mansion, disrespecting her parents-in-law, making things difficult for the concubines, and treating the servants harshly. She didn't take anyone seriously.
Later, unable to bear the loneliness, she even had an affair with the groom. Until your maternal grandfather's family committed a crime and the whole family was exiled, your mother took you with her after she knew that your biological father was not the master.
You are not the master's child. If you remind the master that he is cuckolded every day, the master will hate you! That's why he wants you dead. This is really not the master's fault. The only one to blame is your mother, who is not a faithful woman! She is a vicious woman, and it is also your fault that you were born into a bad family and became the daughter of a vicious woman! "
Huo Bing left the mansion when he was less than nine years old, so even if he could remember things over the years, his memory would have been fuzzy. He certainly didn't know that Huo Qinglin had married the master with a beautiful wedding dress and helped him rise to prominence.
As her biological mother, it was natural for Huo Qinglin not to tell her about the disgusting things she did. There was no loophole in what she said!
Feng Xing and Feng Tao frowned when they heard this and looked at Huo Bing with worry.
They all felt that what her mother did was wrong, but she was Sister Bing’s biological mother, wouldn’t she feel even worse?
She never expected that the person who killed her was her own father! No, she didn't know who her father was...
Huo Bing frowned slightly, lost in thought for a moment, and then nodded slowly under Nanny Lai's expectant gaze: "You're right."
Nanny Lai was delighted but didn't dare show it on her face. She quickly replied, "Yes, yes, I dare not lie. You..."
"In the past, I was always confused as to why I was narrow-minded, violent, cruel, and ruthless, and why I wanted to kill people to vent my anger from time to time. Now I understand that it was because I was like my mother.
Well, since that's not my biological father, there's no need for you three to stay. Xingzi and Taozi, bring the hemp rope over here, and I'll personally send the three of them off! "Huo Bing stood up, his eyes becoming fierce.
The smile on Nanny Lai's face froze.
Shouldn't Huo Bing feel guilty and blame himself, or even offer to die as an apology?
How did she admit it directly?
She also wants to kill people to vent her anger from time to time. Her mother is not a cruel person at all!
