It was noon when I finally saw the people I sent back to do the work. One of them was missing, probably because they were lost yesterday. However, I was so confused that I had no other ideas. As long as I could get this done, it didn't matter how many people died.
I'm almost dying, why should I care about you guys? When you chose the boss, you didn't care about my life or death, so there's no need for me to feel guilty about you now.
When some children's clothes and toys were thrown out, everyone in the team didn't understand what was going on. Some people recognized that these were their children's clothes, but why did they appear here?
"Second Young Master, what's this?"
The old housekeeper said in some confusion that his grandson's clothes were also in here. Did the second young master send someone back to get the child's clothes to ward off evil spirits?
This kind of situation has never happened before. Not only the old butler was puzzled, but everyone in the team was puzzled. However, some smart people saw some clues. You all are the confidants of the chieftain, or the confidants of the eldest young master, and something might happen.
"I won't say anything else. I've already taken care of your children. You don't have to look for them when you go back. As long as you behave, I guarantee they'll be safe. But Uncle, you can't live."
The second young master had already thought of everything he needed to think of. There was one person who had to die, and that was the old butler in front of him. The old butler had been loyal to his father for so many years. Even if you caught his little grandson, this guy would not listen to you.
"Second Young Master, what are you doing? I'm loyal to the chieftain. I've served your family for so many years, risking my life countless times. Second Young Master, have you forgotten? When you fell into the water as a child, who rescued you?"
The old butler could hardly believe his ears. In his opinion, even if there was a power struggle, it would not endanger his life. He had favors for both the old master and the two young masters, especially the second young master in front of him.
"That's why I call you Uncle. If it weren't for you, I might have died. But I didn't feel happy when I was alive. You know my current situation better than anyone. How did those uncles die? Wasn't it because they didn't seize the position of chieftain? I don't want to count the days, so I have to do my own thing. You guys are all my father's confidants, and my eldest brother's confidants. You just follow me well, and I won't treat you badly in the future. Otherwise, this child's life will be in danger. It's easy for you to survive. Just get rid of Uncle."
Meng Chuan is also a ruthless person. Not only did he capture the children of these people, but he also asked them to pledge their allegiance. Some people may not care about the life and death of their own children, and they will go back and complain. But if you join forces to kill the old housekeeper, can you explain it clearly when you go back?
Everyone knows the position of the old steward in the chieftain's heart. If you guys take action here, even if you go back and confess to the chieftain, I'm afraid he will not forgive you.
The Second Young Master probably couldn't think of so many things on his own. All of this was the idea given to him by Zhang Jiuli. Although it seemed cruel at first, if you think about it carefully, only in this way can you control these people and cut off all their escape routes. Only then can they follow you and continue to move forward. Otherwise, why would they help you?
"Second Young Master, was it that bastard Zhang Jiuli who asked you to do this? Do you know what he has in mind? That bastard wants to dismantle our village. If you listen to him, the entire village will be in danger."
The old housekeeper instantly understood that from the meeting with Zhang Jiuli two days ago to the various actions today, all of this was driven by someone, and Zhang Jiuli must be the driving force.
"Uncle, you're right, but there's one thing you have to understand. No matter what his intentions are, I have a stake in this matter. If I don't listen to him, Uncle will be my fate. Do you want me to be hacked to death?"
Meng Chuan has thought it through clearly. Zhang Jiuli will definitely have some ideas about this matter, but no matter what Zhang Jiuli's ideas are, he must do this now, because he knows very well that he only has this one chance. After his eldest brother takes charge of the transport team again, he will not even have such a small chance. By then, his eldest brother will feel that he is in danger. Maybe his father is not dead yet, but maybe he will die first.
The old housekeeper understood it all in an instant. He knew that it was useless to say anything about today's matter, because the second young master in front of him was determined. If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. In the inheritance system of the chieftain master, only one person can survive, and that is the future chieftain.
"I know the Second Young Master will definitely do it today, so I won't say much else. If the Second Young Master becomes a chieftain one day, will you spare the lives of my descendants?"
The old butler threw away his weapon. He knew there was no point in struggling. Figures flashed around. The second young master had already made arrangements here. No one could escape.
"Uncle, don't ask for so much. They are not my family. I have no way to keep them. I don't want to lie to you in the end. Even though you saved my life back then, I can't lie to you at this last moment."
After Meng Chuan finished speaking, he stabbed the old butler in the thigh, seriously injuring him. Then he turned his head and swept his cold eyes over his father's confidants. You people either take action, or you and your children will die together. Political struggle is so cruel, there is no second choice.
"Only those who stabbed him can leave. If you don't do anything, and I mean don't do anything while he's still alive, then you don't have to leave. This includes your entire family. I guarantee that they won't survive tonight."
Mengquan wiped his knife and went to wait by the side. As for whether you guys live or die, that is probably your own business. Anyway, the weapons have not been collected. The knives are in your hands. It depends on how you choose. Whether you follow me or go back and inform on me is also your own choice.
