Zhu Cheng had heard Xu Jian's tone before sowing discord.
That kind of ridicule, sarcasm, the joke is clearly written on his face, making people want to jump up and punch him twice.
But now, there is nothing like that on Xu Jian's face.
Zhu Cheng even saw some sympathy in it.
Yes.
Xu Jian is also the son who was abandoned by his biological father.
Therefore, seeing that he was also given up, Xu Jian's original attitude of watching the fun changed.
That's right.
Zhu Cheng talked to himself.
Xu Jian and Shan Shen both turned to look at him.
Zhu Cheng did not avoid their gazes, and said without blinking: "My father has long been in contact with the thing that will cut off his descendants."
Xu Jian remained silent and lightly opened her eyes.
Shan Shen analyzed the reason why Zhu Cheng suddenly relented.
He has always been good at reading people's hearts, and after working with Xu Jian for a few days, he quickly figured it out.
"Master Zhu Si," Shan Shen stepped forward and said in a low voice, "that is your biological father after all, and there are all the brothers. You are hopeless after all. Can they have the slightest chance to read your confession?
Okay, you can think about it later."
It appears to be persuading, but in reality it adds fuel to the fire.
If Zhu Cheng were calm, he would probably be able to tell the difference.
But now he has lost his ability to think, and his head is filled with the word "abandoned". When he listens to Shan Shen's words of persuasion, his heart is so angry that he almost spurts out of his eyes.
Why?
Why!
"From the beginning to the end, I was doing things for my father. He stopped showing up himself and asked me to deal with the eunuch for him," Zhu Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "What's the result?
I had to kill him. My only daughter separated from me. We had quarreled many times. Now that she knows her mother is poisoned, how can she not hate me?
You said before that she stabbed my mother-in-law with scissors? If I were outside, she would love to stab me with scissors!
That outer chamber was arranged by the king's chamberlain, and the son is not mine.
I can accept it, I can accept it!
Who asked Li Mi's son to call me daddy? I, Zhu Cheng, have also become the father of Lao Li's family!
But in the end, what am I left with?
There is nothing, not even my father..."
Zhu Cheng was so excited that he punched the bed board beneath him and scratched the top of his hair.
This is the best time to ask questions.
Shan Shen asked hurriedly: "The fourth master knows that the son is Li Mi's? Who is his biological mother?"
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm already a joke," Zhu Cheng laughed, looking very miserable, "After I got Achan, I drank too much and got into a fight with someone, and I was injured.
The doctor said that a man can still be a man, but he can no longer be a father.
I'm just such an empty shell, what kind of son can that stinky bitch give me?
The son was brought back by the dead eunuch to be raised well. I asked him later and he said he was the son of Li Mi and his biological mother was unknown."
"Where is the king's servant now?" Shan Shen asked again.
"I don't know," Zhu Cheng finished, and when he saw Shan Shen frowning, he added, "I really don't know, I've even told you private matters like that, and I'm still going to hide it for the person who will cut off my descendants?" p>
Shan Shen smiled dryly.
Just scold others, why did Zhu Cheng include himself in it?
If you think so, of course you can’t talk about it.
Zhu Cheng was finally willing to explain the problem. If he was offended and acted like a gourd, it would be troublesome.
"Then how did you contact him in the first place?" Shan Shen asked.
"A few years ago, he had a house in Cherry Hutong in the south of the city. Since the beginning of last year, he has stopped living there," Zhu Cheng said. "He came to Liuguo Hutong twice without revealing his whereabouts."
"What are you communicating about? Li Mi's affairs?"
Zhu Cheng shook his head: "I'm just an errand boy. For specific matters, he and my father communicate through letters. Anyway, he gets burned after reading them.
All I know is that the eunuch is very concerned about the changes in the court.
At the beginning of this year, he came to Liuguo Hutong to show his face, checked on the child's condition, and asked some trivial questions.
Come back in the summer and ask me to find someone to buy Lao Shi Xian.
Just buy it, I asked Li Yuanfa and others, but they couldn’t compete with Jing Dajuan.
Master Shan, please listen to this. Does that damn eunuch trust me?
If he could trust me, he would have told me about the gold brick earlier. In spring, when there is no ghost in Lao Shi Alley, how can it be done by digging up the ground?
It doesn’t matter if it’s later, I’ll have to buy Laoshi Alley even if I spend some money. The alley is in my hands, and Li Yuanfa can dig it as he wants.
The dead eunuch didn't say anything until Jing Daguan pressed his fingerprints. What can I do?
Isn’t this the result?”
Shan Shen showed sympathy.
Xu Jian never interrupted and listened carefully to Zhu Cheng's confession.
Only this paragraph is indeed consistent with what the princess asked Aunt Wang to go to Liuguo Hutong to find out.
At the beginning of the year and in the summer of the previous month, someone saw an old man looking for the outer chamber twice. The old man was the king's chamberlain.
"After Jing Daduan pressed his fingerprints, did the king's servant say BRIC?" Xu Jian asked, "Did he go to Liuguo Hutong again at that time?"
Zhu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to avoid it. Then he thought that he was confessing honestly, so he said: "No, I was walking on the street, and he used a beggar as a messenger to ask me to go to the elegant restaurant in the side restaurant.
I went in, and the old lady was there too. The dead eunuch told us about the gold bricks and said he would dig them out no matter what.
Who knew it would be a banned book and Gao An would catch him!"
Shan Shen asked: "The letters between the king's chamberlain and the British prince have been burned. Do you still have evidence in your hand?"
Zhu Cheng was discouraged.
"No," he smiled bitterly, "That's my father. Can I think of guarding against him? I wholeheartedly run errands, but he..."
Shan Shen patted Zhu Cheng on the shoulder.
Zhu Cheng said: "These are all true words. I don't think Mr. Shan is a fool."
Xu Jian and Shan Shen came out of the wing.
Shan Shen folded his hands in front of his chest and said: "What I heard must be the truth, and the confession is true, but I can't produce evidence, especially I don't know the whereabouts of the king's servant..."
Xu Jian suggested: "Mrs. Wang mentioned Liu'an Town, and Zhu Cheng also mentioned Cherry Hutong. You need to read the deeds for both places."
Shan Shen agrees.
Xu Jian added: "I didn't lie to Zhu Cheng just now. If the British master really wants to cut off the throne, he may arrange something in Zhu Cheng's study. You can go and see it."
Just leave.
When a group of people arrived outside the British Government House, the atmosphere here was already very different from when they arrived early in the morning.
Yu Lin stood guard outside the gate upright. When he saw Xu Jian arriving, the leader saluted.
Zhu Chi is here to welcome you.
Knowing that the situation was not optimistic, he could only calm down when facing people from the Yamen.
"My father is in the bedroom," Zhu Chi said. "He collapsed when he came back from the palace..."
