C758 Gift
He'll be out soon.
The small door opened and a head popped out.
The originally excited face immediately became cold when it saw Old Iron Head.
"Who is it? How dare you knock on the Shangguan Mansion's door? Do you want to die? "
It was not because this gatekeeper was arrogant.
It's because most people who came to the Shangguan family would greet them in advance or hand over their invitation cards. Therefore, the door knocker of the door is usually not used. It even needs to be cleaned from time to time. Otherwise, it will easily rust.
Now that an old man in ordinary clothes had suddenly appeared and knocked on the door, the gatekeeper naturally became angry.
Old Iron Head said with a bitter face, "There... There is a young master who wants to see your family's Old Master Shangguan. I... This little one is the one who leads the way. It has nothing to do with me."
"Ah?!"
The gatekeeper was furious and said in a deep voice, "All the cats and dogs want to see the old master? Do you have a letter of invitation?"
"No... No."
"[Do you have a referral?]"
"No... No."
... "Then there should be a letter, right?"
"I still don't have one."
"You!"
The doorman was furious. "Are you f * cking here to cause trouble? Hurry up and get lost, or else we might break your head! "
With that, he closed the small door with a bang.
Old Iron Head turned his head to look at Xiao Yun with a bitter face.
Xiao Yun wouldn't come out at this time.
If he needed to work hard to enter the door, then he would have a miserable life.
Sure enough.
Sahu flipped over and got off the carriage, then carried a package and went over. He said to Old Iron Head, "I told you, you have to send this thing in. What's the use of knocking on the door? When I passed by a tea house, the shopkeeper knew how to behave. He also knew how to do things. Why can't you make such a big blacksmith shop? Tsk tsk, hurry up and knock again."
After saying that, he handed the package over to him and returned to the carriage to watch the show.
Old Iron Head was about to cry.
He knocked on the door again with a trembling voice.
This time, the small door opened very quickly.
The gatekeeper did not reveal his head. Instead, he walked out directly with a stick in his hand. The stick was surrounded by shock. If the stick hit his body, it would cause trouble.
Waving the stick, the gatekeeper shouted loudly, "Don't f * cking run, watch me beat you to death!"
Old Iron Head hurriedly handed the box in his hand over and said, "I forgot to say just now. There's something, there's something!"
The gatekeeper's movements were suspended in the air.
He frowned.
Then he pursed his lips and said, "If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have known whose family you were from. You're so undignified, so old, and you don't know the rules. I wonder what that person kept you for."
He took the box and asked, "Who gave this to?"
Old Iron Head felt wronged and said with a bitter face, "This... is for Old Master Shangguan. In the end, he opened it himself. Otherwise... there will be a problem."
"Humph, deliberately mystifying! Alright, you just wait here obediently and wait for the report."
As he spoke, the gatekeeper carried the box back.
With a clang, the small door also directly closed.
After the gatekeeper entered the room, he first shook the box out of curiosity.
Clang! There was a sound of something inside.
He narrowed his eyes and wanted to open it at the first possible moment.
But after thinking about it, he gave up.
Curling his lips, he took the box and immediately went to the yard to find the manager. After saying what had happened, the manager looked at the box curiously.
"The person who came didn't leave behind any names?"
"He asked, didn't say! Sigh, he seems to be sick. I couldn't make a fart out of three kicks, so I asked for quite a while. Only then did he remember that there was such a box. Sigh... It's the first time I've met such a stupid person after being on duty at the door for so long."
" Mm... Alright, you can leave now. I'll hand over the box. "
"Ah, then I'll have to trouble you, Manager."
The gatekeeper was obviously unwilling.
Actually, it was very difficult for him to meet the old master at home. This was actually an opportunity. If the things inside were good, the old master would be happy to see them. Perhaps taking advantage of his excitement, he will also be promoted... Although there was a lot of money from the gatekeeper, after working for a long time, he still felt bored.
However, there was no chance anymore. He just had to wait in the future.
He didn't think too much about it and directly went back to the door to wait for the news.
In any case, whether the door opened or not had nothing to do with him anymore.
On the other hand, the steward immediately carried the box to the big room and saw Old Master Shangguan.
Coincidentally, Old Master Shangguan was discussing something with his grandmaster.
What they were talking about was naturally how to deal with the aftermath and arrangements after the young master snatched the gold coins back, including how to distribute the gold coins.
When they saw the steward enter, both of them shut their mouths at the same time.
However, they were still a little unhappy about the matter of him disturbing their mood.
"What is it? How flustered are you? "
The Advisor berated him harshly, causing the steward to feel wronged.
He hurriedly carried the box forward and carefully placed the box on the table. Then he said, "A strange person came to the door. Let's not talk about who he is. He didn't say who he came for but only said that he wanted to give the box to the old master. The servant saw that this was not an ordinary matter and was afraid that there might be an explanation for it. Thus, he rushed over to inform the old master. "
He spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes at the door.
Old Master Shangguan and the grandmaster looked at each other.
At the same time, they looked at the box.
Old Master Shangguan subconsciously reached out his hand to open it.
However, he was stopped by the grandmaster's gaze.
Old Master Shangguan didn't move or say anything.
The grandmaster smiled at the steward and said, "Open it and take a look. I wonder what is inside this box."
The steward immediately became happy and quickly came up to open the box.
When he opened the package, the box inside was made of wood. It looked a little ancient. The wooden board was made of lava and the copper buckle was green. It could be considered a good item. Usually, this kind of box would contain things like vases, pottery jars, and so on. It was quite valuable.
Old Master Shangguan and the grandmaster looked at each other again.
However, the grandmaster still did not move.
He only chuckled as he watched the steward sell his strength.
The lid of the box had a slide cover and a lock. There was a button in the middle. He swiped it to the left, and with a crack, the counter inside was opened. He pushed it slightly forward and lifted it again. The box was opened.
In that instant, the smell of blood rushed out.
It made the three of them immediately cover their noses and noses.
Especially the grandmaster, who was already prepared. He covered his face with a silk cloth and even used his sleeve to fan it.
However, the poisonous smoke or mechanisms that followed did not appear as he had expected.
On the contrary, Old Master Shangguan suddenly cried out in alarm and then shouted excitedly, crying and scolding loudly.
Advisor hurriedly came over to take a look...
He saw that there was a hand in the box.
A broken hand.
There were a few exquisite rings on his hand.
Those were all Young Master Shangguan's belongings.
It was obvious.
The owner of this hand must be the same as the owner of the ring.
The corners of the Advisor's eyes twitched violently.
Indeed.
The next moment, Old Master Shangguan shouted loudly, "Who is it? Who sent it here? Someone come, quickly come, go out and chop the person who sent the box to death. I want to chop him into meat paste and feed him to the dogs!"
Advisor hurriedly went forward and shook his head at Old Master Shangguan. He said, "Master, absolutely not!"
"Ah?!"
Old Master Shangguan said angrily, "Usually, I will let you make the decision for everything. Today, he has already killed his way over. Why won't you let me take revenge? You... you... "2
He was so angry that he almost forgot about it.
Advisor hurriedly said," Master, you misunderstood. This subordinate did not speak for the other party. It's just that... the other party sent over a hand. It's very likely that the young master is still alive. They tied up people's tickets! "
"Ah, this..."
Old Master Shangguan was shocked and froze on the spot.
The Advisor said in a deep voice, "If you really want to kill someone and steal their goods, this is the gift. It should be a human head, but now it was a palm. When this palm came, it meant... If they can chop off the Little Master's hand, they can chop off the Little Master's head. They had come because they were worried that the old master would think that they would not dare to do it. So they directly broke off one of their hands and sent it over, proving that they were serious... This was a trick that the kidnappers were used to, so it was very likely that the other party kidnapped a meat ticket. Now, the person who came is here to negotiate with the old master."
" How dare the thief come? "
The Advisor sighed and said helplessly, "Of course they dare to come. If that person doesn't come back... The young master can't come back either. The old master is afraid of the consequences. Now, not only can't they fight and kill, they even want to be treated with food and wine. On the surface, he had to give in. He had to wait until the young master was saved. At that time... Hmph hmph, they broke one of the young master's palms. We'll annihilate their entire family!"
