In front of a small table in one corner of the hall, Er Dong Hao was half crawling sitting, holding a gla.s.s of red wine in his right hand, he was shaking it non-stop. The wine in the cup followed his movements and drew a curve in the air.
There was a man standing respectfully three steps behind him.
"Aunt went to look for Zhang Xiao, right?"
There was no question mark in Er Dong Hao's words. It could be seen that he was not surprised at all that his aunt would go and find Zhang Xiao.
Even if no one had pa.s.sed the message to him, he would have guessed.
The man hesitated, not knowing whether to answer or not.
If the answer was yes, it would give the family head the impression that they still had to hide everything even if they knew. If the answer was no, then he was lying to the Patriarch. From the Patriarch's tone, he had obviously guessed it.
There was no response from behind him, Er Dong Hao turned his head and glanced at his hands, then s.h.i.+fted his gaze back to the wine in the cup.
"They went to the Dragon Court Hotel to eat."
Er Dong Hao said again.
The man even broke out in a cold sweat.
It was still cold in the spring, and he needed to wear two more outfits when he went out. But now, he felt like he was in the middle of a scorching summer.
Er Dong Hao laughed on his own, no one dared to guess the thoughts behind his smile, they could only hear him express his meaning.
"Since the Dragon Court Hotel is the territory of the Mu, she must be on guard against my aunt. Naturally, she has to go to the Dragon Court Hotel for a meal, no matter what my aunt wants to do to her, it will be impossible for her to succeed."
He had a good grasp of Zhang Xiao's character.
"Is Yi Xiu Jie alive or dead? Is there any news that has come back? "
Er Dong Hao finally changed the topic, allowing the man to sigh in relief. While Er Dong Hao wasn't paying attention, he secretly raised his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
He was a small leader of the Erjia's information network, and today he was in charge of delivering the message to the patriarch.
"I've long since escaped from my life, but I need to stay in the courtyard for a long time." It would take them several hours to return to the T City from there. Yi Xiu Jie's injuries had not completely recovered, so it was not appropriate for him to return.
Er Dong Hao sneered twice: "He sure is lucky. He didn't even run into him when he fell down like that."
Er Dong Hao had hoped for Yi Xiu Jie's death.
Although he did not care about what happened to Yi Xiu Jie, he still hoped that Yi Xiu Jie would die.'s existence was a hindrance to him.
Both public and private were obstructing him.
"It was Yi Pei Nan who protected him at the last moment. Otherwise, he would have died on the spot."
Er Dong Hao pursed his lips, and after a long while, he said: "Yi Pei Nan really cherishes that nephew of his."
Back then, he had wanted to take Yi Pei Nan's life, but in the end Yi Pei Nan was lucky. He didn't die from alcohol poisoning, and lived for a few more months.
"Did you find out why something happened to Yi Xiu Jie? It took him a few days to get into trouble. I think he must have found something. " It could be seen that Er Dong Hao was very clear about what he was doing.
The man replied respectfully, "Yi Xiu Jie has not woken up yet. This subordinate has no way of knowing that the people from Yi Village have seen Yi Xiu Jie, but no one knew that his father was poisoned to death, so they all thought that he had died of an advanced stage liver cancer."
Er Dong Hao frowned, he turned and glanced at his subordinates, and said coldly: "Can't you gather any useful information?"
It was definitely not because Yi Xiu Jie was unfamiliar with the road, it was definitely due to his mood being affected.
The man lowered his head and began to sweat again.
"You guys are getting worse. How can you fight against the flame door?"
Although Er Dong Hao's words sounded light, it actually carried a lot of accusations.
"Your subordinate is too weak."
What else could the man say other than to admit that he had not done well?
"It's impossible for Yi Xiu Jie to not be able to find out after returning here without doing anything?" Er Dong Hao emphasized his tone of voice.
The man thought for a moment, then replied: "Because there is a highway to be built, and it coincidentally pa.s.ses through Yi Village, many of the fields and mountains in Yi Village are requisitioned to build the highway, and Yi Xiu Jie's father's grave area is also expropriated, because Yi Xiu Jie is not here, and everyone thought that he would never return, so the clan's old man stepped in and helped him dig up his father's grave, but because he did not find a good place to bury his son, he temporarily stored his father's grave area in the Yi family's ancestral hall."
"What else?" Er Dong Hao's expression turned into one of deep thought.
"After Yi Xiu Jie returned, he went to the ancestral hall to pay respects to his father."
"Wors.h.i.+p?"
This caused the man to be shocked, what else could Yi Xiu Jie do other than pay respects?
Er Dong Hao put down the wine cup, turned around and leaned against the small counter. His sharp eyes landed on his subordinate's body, causing more and more cold sweat to pour out from the subordinate's body, and it all gathered into beads of sweat.
"Patriarch, your subordinate wasn't good in his work, so I can only find out about this."
The man wanted to kneel to Er Dong Hao.
Er Dong Hao continued to stare at him coldly.
When he really wanted to kneel down, Er Dong Hao said a sentence of amnesty: "Alright, you may leave."
As if he had been granted amnesty, the man let out a heavy sigh of relief. He hurriedly took a few steps back, then turned around and walked out. As he walked, he lifted his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat that had been forced out.
Their Patriarch felt more and more oppressed.
Leaning against the counter, Er Dong Hao remained silent for a moment. Then, Er Dong Hao turned around again, this time not lying on his stomach, but holding the gla.s.s of red wine, bringing the wine cup to his lips. He opened his lips slightly, and gently sipped the wine in the cup.
Yi Xiu Jie's father's ashes were all over the Yi family's ancestral hall. If Yi Xiu Jie wanted to confirm that his father really died from poison, would he take advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, and lift the lid to check the color of his father's ashes?
Er Dong Hao would investigate things that he cared about thoroughly and do his best.
He didn't like fighting a war without a chance of winning.
Yi Xiu Jie's father had already confirmed that there wasn't any cancer before he died. (The ashes of people who died of cancer were said to be black too) The old doctor from Ren Rui had already confirmed this point. If the ashes from easy father were black, there was only one possibility, and that was that he was poisoned to death while he was alive, not dying from cancer.
He didn't need to dig up his father's grave. All he needed to do was open the lid of the urn and you could see the color of his father's ashes.
Would Yi Xiu Jie know how to do it?
Er Dong Hao felt that Yi Xiu Jie would do it.
In that case, Yi Xiu Jie had peeked at his father's ashes in the Ancestral Hall, and discovered that his father's ashes were black, proving that his father had been poisoned to death.
Just by thinking about it with his toes, Yi Xiu Jie could also think of the person that could poison his father.
Er Dong Hao started laughing in a low voice, laughing in an extremely sarcastic tone, "Yi Xiu Jie, I really didn't expect that you would face the most difficult and painful of decisions. Your biological mother killed your biological father, so the back of your hand is all flesh. How are you going to choose? "
