Chapter 0015 May 5th
He Jintang gritted his teeth and said, "Nonsense? This is what my sister-in-law said before she died! Haha, I said my sister was in good health, how could she suddenly die of illness!"
"My sister passed away not long ago, and my mother also died of depression. Hahaha, I finally understand why!"
He Jintang acted like a madman, so I stepped forward and pulled him to calm him down.
At this time, Master Liu Feihe and his apprentice were also attracted by the quarrel and came into the house.
He Jintang was probably too stimulated and kept cursing, while He Jiuye seemed to have aged ten years and sat dejectedly on the chair.
"Master Jiu, can you tell me what happened back then?" Liu Feihe asked in a deep voice.
He Jintang laughed bitterly: "What else can it be? Someone told me today that your father killed his son-in-law first and then his daughter in order to protect the ancestral secret of your He family. I dismissed it. Haha, I didn't expect it to be true!"
I saw Master He Jiu's face was turning pale and blue, and I said, "Master Jiu, this matter concerns your granddaughter's life, and it cannot be taken lightly."
Master He Jiu was startled: "Granddaughter? What granddaughter?"
I immediately told them how the He couple had suffered and what happened to He Baoer.
"You...you mean Zong Ze has a daughter and I have a granddaughter? She...her name is Bao'er?" He Jiuye stood up excitedly, "When was she...when was she born? What day was it in the lunar calendar?"
I was very surprised to hear this. I didn't expect that after Mr. He Jiu heard that he had a granddaughter, the first thing he cared about was when she was born.
Master Liu Feihe and his disciples also looked surprised.
However, after He Zongze and his wife passed away, none of us knew the specific situation of He Baoer. He Jintang was cursing, while He Jiuye had a gloomy face.
A Biao asked someone to investigate and soon sent back the birth information of He Baoer.
He Zongze and his wife left Jiangcheng to go abroad in the second week after He Qianxue passed away. At that time, Mrs. He had just become pregnant.
Later, He Baoer was born abroad on May 5th of the lunar calendar. By this calculation, in about thirteen days, the little girl would be exactly five years old.
"May 5th, haha, May 5th..." After hearing this, Master He Jiu's face turned pale and he sat there muttering to himself.
I felt it was quite strange when suddenly there was a scream from the kitchen.
"What's going on?" A Biao asked loudly with a frown.
The He family's cook ran out of the kitchen with a pale face, shouting, "The phone... there's something wrong with the phone!"
Incoherent.
A Biao glared at her, pulled her quickly into the kitchen, and came back hurriedly with a serious expression and a mobile phone .
"It's...it's A Yue's call. I don't know...I don't know how it turned out like this!" The cook's voice was trembling, and she was obviously very scared.
The Ah Yue she mentioned was a servant who used to work in the He family. She had a good relationship with him. He had just sent her a video call. She picked it up and was so scared that she screamed, "There's a ghost!"
The video shows a gloomy house, which is empty except for a tattered rocking chair in the middle.
There was a girl sitting on the rocking chair. She was wearing a dark red skirt and barefoot. She looked to be about five or six years old.
A paper man's head was covering her head, which looked very strange. She sat there straight, but the rocking chair was swaying, moving her up and down, making a creaking sound.
No wonder the cook was so scared, the scene was really creepy.
My first reaction was that this girl should be He Baoer, but I couldn’t tell from the video whether this girl was dead or alive.
The others present also obviously realized this. He Jintang shouted into the phone: "Is it Li Kun? Let Baoer go!"
No one answered the phone, only the rocking chair continued to creak.
Master He Jiu said in a deep voice: "Li Kun, I know it's you, if you have anything to say, come to me!"
After a while, a voice sneered and said, "Master He Jiu, you have recognized the wrong person."
The voice was hoarse and sharp, like fingers scratching an iron pan, and it sounded very uncomfortable.
He Jiuye's face was as gloomy as water: "Whose friend is this? What hatred do they have against our He family that would make them do such a cruel thing?"
The voice let out an unpleasant laugh: "We are just some unknown people who accidentally heard about Brother Li's tragic experience. We were so angry that we came to help him seek justice."
It seems that this person is in cahoots with the fake Qin Ran. Judging from his tone, he should be Li Kun whom he met later.
Master He Jiu said calmly, "This Li Kun married into our He family as a son-in-law, he eats our food and wears our clothes, but he is a ruthless person with evil intentions. How has our He family done anything wrong to him? Besides, this is our He family's family affair, we don't need friends to worry about it, right?"
The voice laughed and said, "No one in the world can handle injustice, but we just can't stand it!"
Master He Jiu asked coldly, "Were my son and daughter-in-law killed by friends?"
"Let's be frank. Your son and daughter-in-law were too stubborn. We had no choice but to take strong measures. What a pity, what a pity." The voice was blunt.
I saw veins bulging on Mr. He Jiu's forehead and his hands were shaking. It was obvious that he was extremely angry, but his skills in cultivating his qi were indeed first-rate. The more times like this, the calmer he became.
He Jintang, however, could no longer hold back and shouted angrily, calling the other party a non-human!
The voice laughed and said, "Master He Jiu, this is your granddaughter. Is this your first time seeing her?"
Master He Jiu put his hands behind his back, clenched them, and said calmly: "My friend is a master, why bother with a little girl, lest you be laughed at!"
The voice said, "Hey!" "We are just nobody who can't stand up to the public. Why should we be afraid of being laughed at?"
Then a hemp rope suddenly fell from the roof and was wrapped around He Baoer's neck.
"What do you want to do?" Mr. He Jiu finally couldn't help but lose his composure.
He Jintang cursed even louder.
"Mr. He Jiu, we are fair people. Before we deal with you, we have a few more questions to ask you. But you'd better tell the truth and don't tell any lies, otherwise, hehe!" As the voice spoke, the hemp rope around He Baoer's neck suddenly tightened.
There was a cry of surprise in the room, and Master He Jiu hurriedly shouted: "Don't hurt the child!"
I only heard the voice asking, " Were you the one who ordered Brother Li to be beaten to death and then drowned in the river?"
Master He Jiu said, "That's right, I was the one who ordered the beast to be beaten to death. I only regret that I didn't grind his bones to dust!"
The voice chuckled, "It seems that what Brother Li said is true. Your father-in-law is very cruel and merciless!"
Master He Jiu had a sullen face and said nothing.
The voice then asked the second question: "I heard from Brother Li that his wife He Qianxue was strangled to death by you personally? Is that true or not?"
The hall was silent.
I saw that Master He Jiu's face was livid, and everyone's eyes were focused on him. He Jintang's eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
"You'd better tell the truth. If you tell a lie, you may never see your granddaughter again." The voice said sinisterly.
Seeing that Mr. He Jiu remained silent, the hemp rope around He Baoer's neck tightened again, and everyone exclaimed.
"Wait!" Master He Jiu yelled, clenching his teeth tightly, with a distorted and extremely ferocious expression on his face, "That's right, I strangled Xue'er to death with my own hands!"
