The Secret Service in Beijing claims to offer inquiries, but of course it does more than just inquire about information. As long as the customers are willing to pay, the business scope can be very wide.
I thought I had picked up a big deal, but I didn't expect to offend the British public.
Now the British Duke wanted to find the person. In order to make amends, Ange almost devoted all its efforts to help find him. Within a few days, all the people Zhang Fu wanted were found.
When the master and servants returned to the house, Zhang Jin realized that his daughter-in-law had been locked up in the woodshed for a day, and she had not received any water or rice.
The servants guarding the door refused to let her go, saying that she had offended the madam.
The father and son hurriedly called for the Duke.
Zhang Fu clasped his hands behind his back, faced the guards at the door, and ordered in a cold voice: "Let him go."
A few stout women were a little afraid of the Duke's aura and wanted to get out of the way, but Grandma Sun led someone over from the other side and blessed him.
"The Grand Duke, it was the Grand Concubine who ordered him to be locked up. When the Grand Concubine asked the question, the An family concealed it, which was disrespectful to the Grand Concubine. Thinking that Zhang Jin and his son followed the Grand Master through life and death, the Grand Concubine said, Guan San
It is enough for God to teach you a lesson."
He looked like he was being disturbed by something trivial, and as he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Jin and his son aside.
Zhang Fu squeezed her hand tightly behind her back and suddenly kicked her out violently, kicking her to the ground.
Grandma Sun didn't react for a while.
The mother-in-law who was guarding the country and the two maids who came with Grandma Sun opened their mouths in shock. They had never seen the Duke kick someone before. They shrank aside in fear.
Only Zhang Jin and his son remained calm. They knew why the Duke was angry.
Zhang Fu remembered what his little daughter-in-law said, that Mrs. Sun was just a servant, but she had the guts to pour poisonous wine on his Rou'er!
My heart is filled with hatred.
Seeing that she was about to get up, he kicked her in the chest and kicked her firmly to the ground. Is the strength of a military commander something that ordinary people can withstand?
There was a thud and he fell to the ground, hitting his head heavily on the green bricks.
Grandma Sun clutched her chest, touched her head, the world was spinning, and she immediately started wailing.
"Someone, pull her in and lock her up!"
When Zhang Jin and his son heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward and took hold of Grandma Sun under her armpits, dragging Grandma Sun into the woodshed.
"Madam, Madam..." Grandma Sun was being dragged, calling Madam wailing.
Zhang Jin and his son ignored her, quickly dragged her into the woodshed, threw her into a corner, helped An out, and locked the door of the woodshed.
"Without my order, no one is allowed to visit, and even water is not allowed!"
The strong women guarding the door were as restrained as cicadas and could not make a sound. They could only nod their heads in fear.
The Wang family was in charge of the report, and the news was immediately heard.
She frowned. Grandma Sun was her confidant, her personal maid, her dowry, and who in the whole family didn't know about it. How could her son treat her face like this?
What kind of medicine did Zhang Jin and his son give him to lower his head? She just summoned people for questioning. The An family was very tight-lipped and refused to tell the whereabouts of Zhang Jin and the Duke of Guo these days, or even the whereabouts of her son.
They all covered it up and only said what the Duke of the country ordered.
She was annoyed for a moment, so she locked him up. Is the Duke going to stand up for a servant?
He and others hurried to Zhang Fu's yard.
As soon as he entered the door, he ordered: "Please let Grandma Sun go quickly. She is my personal servant. I have many things waiting for her to do. I am not used to doing anything without her."
I thought my son would follow him everywhere as usual, but unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, there was no reply from my son.
She looked up and saw her son looking at her with complicated eyes.
Wang's heart suddenly suddenly asked, "What's going on? What mistake did Grandma Sun make? You kicked her and locked her up again?"
"She knows best what grandma Sun has committed. Mother, you also know it." Zhang Fu's voice was cold.
"How did you talk to your mother?"
Mrs. Wang was also angry. Seeing that her son refused to let him go, she turned around and shouted outside: "Come here, let me let Nanny Sun go."
"Dare!" Zhang Fu shouted.
Mrs. Wang was stunned. Her son had never disobeyed her. Today's behavior made her feel a little strange.
When Zhang Jin saw it, he waved his hands quickly and ordered the servants and maids brought by Wang to disperse. He also dispersed the servants in the Duke's courtyard. He stood guard at the entrance of the courtyard to prevent others from approaching.
In the room, Zhang Fu had a painful look on his face, "Mother, when I wanted to marry Rou'er, you finally agreed. After she entered the house, she behaved according to the rules and obeyed you. Why don't you like her?
She, can’t you tolerate her?”
Wang's heart skipped a beat. How could someone who had been dead for ten years suddenly be mentioned?
"What else did you ask her to do?"
Wang's attitude towards a stranger made Zhang Fu feel chilled. "Mother, she is my first wife and your eldest daughter-in-law. She is not an irrelevant person."
"Even if it's your first wife, what's the matter? She's been dead for ten years, and her bones have turned to ashes. Why do you still mention her? Now that you are the Duke of the country, how many people are staring at you and staring at you?
Our family has so many things to do that we can’t cope with them, so why don’t you worry about killing someone?”
Zhang Fu suffered from angina.
"What did she do wrong that made her mother so intolerant of her? In the end, she forced her to drink poisonous wine and didn't even let me see her for the last time."
"What did you say!"
Mrs. Wang was extremely surprised. Apart from her, the only ones who knew about this were Mrs. Wu and Grandma Sun. How did Zhang Fu know?
Grandma Sun would never dare to reveal it, not even to her husband or children. The Wu family would not know it either, unless she did not want Zhang Jie to be the heir apparent.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I do that? No matter how unhappy I was with her, I would never do that." Wang denied.
Zhang Fu closed his eyes in pain, "Mom, there will always be traces of what you have done. Even if you think it was handled cleanly."
Mrs. Wang shouted at him excitedly: "What are you talking about? Are you drunk too much or have you listened to what people outside said? Are you doubting me now?"
Seeing her son looking at her with a knowing look, his eyes full of pain and sorrow, Wang suddenly did not dare to look into his eyes.
Swinging his sleeves: "I don't know what to say. Don't forget ethics and filial piety. Is it unreasonable to spread the word about your old mother who has doubted you during the Chinese New Year? If Grandma Sun makes you unhappy, you have to lock her up."
She no longer said anything about letting Grandma Sun go, and turned around and went out.
Zhang Fu fell on the chair in pain and covered his cheek with his big palm, feeling the pain surge through him.
Mrs. Wang left Zhang Fu's courtyard, feeling frightened in her heart. She walked faster and faster, returned to her own courtyard, waved people away, and sat on a chair alone, unable to recover for a long time.
How did Zhang Fu know?
Where did he know it? Did anyone see it back then? Is there anyone else who slipped through the cracks?
Mrs. Wang went through what happened that year in her mind.
From the people she brought to the village, she sent everyone away. Obviously she, Grandma Sun and Wu were the only ones there at that time, and then there was Li Xinrou.
Who would tell Zhang Fu about this? Or did Zhang Fu guess it himself?
No, he said with certainty, he must have got the news from someone.
Therefore, he has taken Zhang Jin and his son with him these days. They are not staying at the house during the Chinese New Year. Are they checking out someone or something? Where did Zhang Liang go?
