Old Ma was dumbfounded. "Your Highness, you mean — —"
The King of Zhongyuan slowly said.
"Old Ma, do you know that the Prince of Zhongyuan's residence has been deployed for so many years, spent so much effort in planning, and paid a huge amount of wealth that even an ordinary aristocratic family would not dare to imagine — — Everyone was so careful, from beginning to end to contact each other — —"
"Finally — — when the net was about to be formed — — they were all caught in one fell swoop. For the person in charge, how hard is it to accept."
The King of Zhongyuan took a deep breath. "Don't you think our residence is like this pool of fish?"
The housekeeper's gaze also turned sharp. "Your Highness, you mean, there is a traitor among us?"
The King of Zhongyuan nodded lightly, a hint of mockery in his eyes. "Yes, a traitor, a traitor who has an overview of the overall situation and understands everything!"
The King of Zhongyuan's sharp eyes fixed on the housekeeper Old Ma's face, like two red-hot needles, pricking his face.
Staring at him like this, he slowly said, "Years of planning to defeat the West Wind, the golden carp is still unable to become a dragon; conceited that he has the world's plan, his subordinates are all heroes; in dreams, in the field, above the clouds, under the clouds, suffering; weaving a net of the world, hiding three sons in the depths of the palace; waving his sleeves to raise the military and political will, planning to bring the Zhongyuan into his pocket; everything is ready, waiting for the right time, but all is in vain; What is the end of this life, who in the world can answer his doubts?"
The housekeeper Old Ma suddenly looked excited, exclaiming in admiration, "Your Highness, good poem. Your Highness, good poem. "
"— —"
The King of Zhongyuan closed his eyes slightly, gently exhaling.
I'm asking you a question — — why did you give me a good poem?
Things had already come to this point, could it be that they still couldn't be honest with each other?
"This traitor is that poisonous fish. This traitor is constantly spitting out bubbles, implicating all those who have come into contact with him. They are all implicated in the calamity of death, and it is difficult for them to escape. "
A slight smile appeared on the King of Zhongyuan's dignified face, but the smile lines on his face were cold and callous.
The housekeeper's face was full of anger, gnashing his teeth. "Your Highness, who is that person? Who is so crazy!? Do you know? "
"I know. Of course I know. If I still didn't know until now, wouldn't I be extremely foolish?"
The King of Zhongyuan looked at the butler's face. His eyes became increasingly cold, but there was also a hint of sadness and emptiness in them.
The steward said with righteous indignation, "Please give the order, Your Highness. Even if I have to risk my life, I will not let this person go! This person has committed a heinous crime and deserves to be killed! "
The King of Zhongyuan said quietly, "Old Ma, do you really think so?"
"Yes! This subordinate is so angry that his belly is about to explode! "
The King of Zhongyuan chuckled. "Then why don't I tell you? That person … is you."
"Yes …" The butler stood rooted to the ground, his mouth agape as he stared blankly at the Prince of Zhongyuan.
The King of Zhongyuan was very close to the butler. He looked at the butler with an oppressive gaze. Gritting his teeth, he smiled and said in a low voice, "Yes, it's you!"
"Your Highness?!" The butler took a step back in panic and almost fell into the pool. "Your Highness, you … I … I'm innocent … This … I'll be … loyal to you for life …"
A self-mocking expression appeared on the King of Zhongyuan's face. "Hurhurhur … loyal to you for life … hurhur, hurhur, hahahahaha …"
He suddenly burst into laughter. He laughed so hard that he rocked back and forth and tears came out of his eyes.
Tears of laughter flowed down his cheeks, but he was still laughing. "Hahahahaha … I'm dying of laughter … hahaha …"
"This is too funny! This is too funny! "
The King of Zhongyuan laughed maniacally, not caring about his manners at all.
"Old Ma, since you're so loyal to me, please tell me honestly … Can I still see my son? Can I still see the Crown Prince and his family? See them for the last time? "
The King of Zhongyuan bit his lip so hard that it bled.
The butler panicked. "Your Highness … What's wrong? I just received news that the Crown Prince's carriage is about to enter Fenghai … You'll be able to see them soon! "
"I'll be able to see them soon … hahaha … I've already seen them!" The King of Zhongyuan laughed bitterly. His entire body was trembling.
He took out his phone from his bosom. There were dozens of pictures in it.
The butler's gaze was fixed on the name of the caller.
Yin Yang Guest!
"Take a look, take a good look, my loyal butler." The King of Zhongyuan did not care about what the butler was looking at. Now, he no longer cared about anything!
He was still laughing maniacally. "Take a look! Take a look! I've seen it. You, take a look too. "
The butler trembled incessantly. "Your Highness, Your Highness …"
"I'll show you!"
"… Yes."
The butler picked up the phone and flipped through the pictures one by one.
The pictures were all of corpses. There were men, women, and young children. There were even a few pictures of families who had died neatly together.
The King of Zhongyuan looked at the weeping willow in the mansion. Its bare branches were swaying in the breeze.
Occasionally, there would be a soft sound, and a branch would break off and fall. It would fall into the dust.
"The Crown Prince and his family were found dead on the road at Xiaomang Mountain Pass this afternoon. Everyone, including the accompanying guards, men, women, old, and young, were all killed! Including my grandsons and granddaughters … "
The King of Zhongyuan took a deep breath. "The Crown Prince kept a few mistresses in Shangjing. Around the same time, their entire families, including the young children, all died an unnatural death!"
"Now, at this very moment, do you know how many people are left in the King of Zhongyuan's bloodline?"
The King of Zhongyuan smiled faintly. "I'm the only one left. I'm the only one left!"
"I am the only one who hasn't died yet. Everyone who is related to me, my bloodline, my …" The King of Zhongyuan clenched his teeth. With a cracking sound, he actually crushed one of his teeth.
"… Family!
"My family, my bloodline, none of them are alive in this world anymore!"
The King of Zhongyuan looked at the butler's pale face and trembling body. He slowly approached him, his gaze dark and oppressive. "Is this what you meant when you said that I'm about to be reunited with my son?"
The butler explained in a panic, "Your Highness, even if the Crown Prince met with an accident, it has nothing to do with me …"
"What a great 'nothing to do with you'. At that time, you were the one who suggested that I bring the Crown Prince back from Shangjing, because I'm afraid that something bad will happen if he stays there. After all, with the matter of the Cheng family's daughter, there's already a blood feud with the Crown Prince. It's better to let the Crown Prince and his family return to Fenghai. It's still our territory, and it's more secure …"
"So I listened to you and let them come back."
The King of Zhongyuan's eyes were bloodshot. He said, "Do you know? At that time, I knew it was you. But I mistakenly thought that it was the higher-ups' intention to let our family gather in one place. As long as we don't stir up trouble, I'll keep my bloodline … "
"But I never thought that you would be so vicious!"
The King of Zhongyuan's eyes looked like they were dripping blood, but the corners of his mouth were really dripping blood. He suddenly laughed loudly. "Funny! Funny! It's really f * cking funny! I thought that I had everything under control, that I was invulnerable, but I didn't expect that the biggest traitor was actually my mastermind! "
"He was the one who understood everything about me, arranged everything for me, and knew all the secrets of my bloodline, the first mastermind!"
"How ridiculous!"
"Jun Taifeng, if you don't lose, then the heavens are blind!"
The King of Zhongyuan raised his hand and slapped himself four times. He slapped himself so hard that his face swelled up instantly, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth!
But he didn't stop. He wasn't satisfied. After thinking for a while, he slapped himself a dozen more times. "You're stupid! You're so stupid! So stupid! "
"The mastermind is a traitor! Jun Taifeng, how f * cking blind are your eyes! "
The King of Zhongyuan gasped for breath. After a long time, he finally let out an earth-shattering roar.
"Who are you?!!! Old Ma! Who the f * ck are you?! "
The butler, Old Ma, stared at the King of Zhongyuan. His eyes were originally trembling, respectful, sorrowful, understanding, and empathetic … But slowly, the look in his eyes suddenly changed.
No longer trembling, no longer panicking. His originally stooped waist actually slowly straightened.
His pale face was still pale, but the usual humble and submissive look on his face had completely disappeared.
He straightened his body and stood in front of the King of Zhongyuan, presenting an indescribable sense of dignity. Then, he actually smiled faintly at the King of Zhongyuan.
He said clearly, "Hello."
The King of Zhongyuan glared at him fiercely, gritting his teeth and praising, "Not bad, not bad. This is your true face. You're really outstanding!"
The butler smiled and coughed. He slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, carefully opened the packaging, and put one in his mouth.
Then, he took out a lighter and lit it calmly. He took a deep breath and said emotionally, "I've quit smoking for more than a hundred years. Now that I suddenly smoke, I'm a little dizzy and not used to it."
"This is the last time." The King of Zhongyuan's eyes were bloodshot. "Very soon, you won't faint anymore."
"That's right. Once a person is dead, how can he still faint?" The butler puffed on his cigarette. The smoke curled up and almost covered his face.
"Who … who are you?" The King of Zhongyuan held back his temper that was about to explode and asked through gritted teeth.
"You're from the royal family? The Crown Prince? Or … the Nine Heavens Pavilion? Or the Left and Right Heavenly Kings? Or … or … the Minister and the Emperor? "
When he mentioned the last two people, the King of Zhongyuan's voice also trembled.
"Hehehe …"
The butler, Old Ma, laughed mockingly. He bit the cigarette butt and took a puff. "You really think highly of yourself. Do you think you're worthy of the Minister and the Emperor to specially deploy people to deal with you?"
The butler laughed mockingly. Suddenly, he coughed violently, tilted his head, and spat with a disgusted expression. "Ptui!"
He actually pointed at the King of Zhongyuan with the hand holding the cigarette and scolded with infinite disdain, "Can you have some self-awareness? Who the hell do you think you are! Do you think you're worthy of so many big shots scheming against you?! Can you be more shameless?! You've already lost your family, and you're still acting like an idiot?! "
"Where does your confidence come from?!"
