Zhu Chi wanted to continue singing about the plight of the British father-in-law, but Xu Jian and Shan Shen looked like "You can say whatever you want, but I won't listen." He suddenly felt it was boring, so he gave up.
Xu Jian followed Zhu Chi to the British public.
The British Duke was lying on the bed, his face was ugly, his forehead was wrapped with thick gauze, and he was breathless.
"I, I..." The British father gasped and said, "I definitely didn't help Li Mi, no!"
Xu Jian said calmly: "Zhu Cheng has already told me, you'd better take a rest and don't get old again."
The British man's breath was stuck in his throat. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was angry with Xu Jian or Zhu Cheng.
Have you confessed all the unscrupulous things?
Could it be that Shuntian Mansion used torture?
Even if the son of his British duke is convicted of a crime, as long as the Holy Father does not take away his title of duke, the Shuntian Mansion will not be severely punished.
How dare Shuntian Mansion act randomly?
Shan Shen is not a stupid person, and it is impossible for such a mistake to happen.
Without a severe punishment, how could A Cheng confess?
It must be Xu Jian who tricked him again.
"You just go to Ah Cheng's study to check," the British father-in-law turned away, not arguing with Xu Jian, lest he be led astray again, "I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid of dying unjustly!"
Zhu Chi took people to Zhu Cheng's study again.
"After the fourth younger sister got sick and had an accident, the backyard was left to her and Ah Chan. The fourth younger brother lives in the study room every day." Zhu Chi pointed inside, "I haven't touched it. You can check."
At this moment, Shan Shen was not polite. With a wave of his hand, several government officials entered together.
Xu Jian did not go searching, but stood by the door and talked to Zhu Chi: "You are also unlucky to have such a brother, and you will cause trouble like losing your head."
Zhu Chi glanced at Xu Jian but did not answer.
Xu Jian added: "The Duke of your house has the final say, right? He really doesn't know what Zhu Cheng is up to?
Zhu Cheng himself explained that he was just running errands for the Duke of the country, and he didn't even know about the extraneous things.
It seems to me that you are probably being kept secret and beaten in the face.
I just don’t understand. Zhu Cheng is not a particularly capable person. Your father would rather run errands with him than talk to the other three brothers.
If I entrust this matter to you, I won’t necessarily be caught by the Yamen.”
Zhu Chi's face was tense, and his hands behind his back were tightly clenched.
His father had previously reminded him to be extremely careful about Xu Jian.
It seems that Xu Jian is young and has no yamen experience, and is not as good as the old fox Dan Shen, but in fact, this person has a lot of thoughts.
Zhu Chi remembered it, but what Xu Jian said made sense.
The fourth brother succeeds more than he fails.
At such a time, he actually bit his father back.
If he is caught by the Yamen, he will definitely handle the matter alone. Although he may not be able to save the British government, he will definitely not make things worse.
After browsing in the study for two quarters of an hour, I pulled out a piece of paper from a book that was left behind the bookshelf.
There is a birthday written on it, so it should be the child's. The biological mother's surname is Guan, and she is from Jiangzhou. It also says that blood is precious and she hopes to raise her properly.
Shan Shen clicked his tongue twice and handed it to Xu Jian: "Zhu Cheng will definitely not be able to run away..."
He glanced at Zhu Chi and didn't say the second half of the sentence.
This alone is not enough to drag the British public into trouble.
Continuing to rummage inside, Xuan Su followed a steward, came quickly from the outside, and saluted several people.
Shan Shen understood the idea and went to the study.
Zhu Chi also found an excuse and went to the other side, only quietly observing here.
Xuan Su handed a scroll of paper to Xu Jian.
Xu Jian opened it and raised his eyebrows.
The handwriting is very familiar, it is Cheng Yibo's handwriting, and there is an address written on it.
Xuan Su suppressed his voice and said: "My uncle sent it to Taohe Zhai, saying that you can just bring people around and you will be rewarded."
Xu Jian flipped through the note with his fingertips, and after keeping the content in mind, Xu Jian took a handful of fire folds and burned them.
"You go over first and inquire about the situation," he said, "Master Shan and I will set off later."
Xuan Su agrees.
Xu Jian greeted Shan Shen and said, "Let's change places."
Shan Shen's eyes narrowed.
Duke Fu suddenly suggested that his personal entourage should have brought some news.
Everyone has their own path, and Shan Shen is not a fool, so he won't go out of his way to find a source of information.
Since Duke Fuguo asked me to go, I’ll go.
It’s just an empty trip at most.
A few people were left to continue the search, and the rest set off with them.
Zhu Chi sent the person out with a bad premonition: What was written on the piece of paper that was completely burned?——
The place given by Lin Yu was in the south of the city, near an old alley near the South City Gate.
There are many people living in this area, so it can be considered a busy city.
When Xu Jian and others arrived here, the sun had already set to the west, and every household was preparing dinner, and their breath was full of the smell of food.
There was no smoke in the house they wanted to surround.
The door of the small courtyard is closed.
Xuan Su came forward and reported: "The door has never been opened, but there are people moving inside. After asking a neighbor, he couldn't tell who lived inside. He only saw a young man buying some ready-made food.
."
Shan Shen stroked his beard and asked, "Does this make someone knock on the door?"
"Don't knock on the door, let Xuan Su go in and open the door." Xu Jian said.
Shan Shen's smile froze on his face: "Fu Guogong, don't blame the lower officials for making ugly remarks. Although we are handling cases at the Yamen, we are not allowed to turn over private houses for no reason. How sure are you?"
Xu Jian chuckled.
He didn't know the condition of the house, nor how Uncle Chengyi found it.
But he knew that Uncle Chengyi was very reliable.
If Uncle Sincerity lets him surround you, then it must be worthwhile. Even if the king's servant is not in the house, there will be other evidence that can be followed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Shan, you will be indispensable for excellent performance at the end of the year." Xu Jian signaled Xuan Su with his eyes.
Xuan Su turned over to the wall without saying a word.
Shan Shen couldn't stop him at all, so he could only silently say "everything goes well" in his heart.
The door opened from the inside, and Xu Jian strode in.
This is a courtyard house, and the conditions inside are clear at a glance.
In the east wing, the young man heard the noise and ran out, shouting at the people who broke in: "You, who are you?"
Shan Shen held the Shuntianfu waist badge: "Are you the only one here?"
The young man subconsciously glanced in the direction of the main room.
Shan Shen hurriedly went inside.
Xu Jian went around to the back of the house, glanced at the old man who was about to set up a ladder, and said, "Don't you know that Zhu Cheng climbed the wall and fell on his back?"
The old man was shocked and looked at Xu Jian angrily.
Xu Jian looked at him several times and said: "Zhu Cheng is still young and can take his time. At your age, you shouldn't do such hard things, right? Eunuch Wang."
The old man tensed up and said in a loud voice, "You've got the wrong person. The old man's surname is not Wang."
"I really don't recognize Wang Liuliu, and the portraits of you and your goddaughter's confession don't look much alike." Xu Jian took two steps forward and looked closer at the old man. "With the beard stuck on and some facial features smeared with powder, if this is
Walking on the street, Zhu Cheng almost never recognizes you. But you have been away from the palace for more than ten years, why do you still have the air of a servant?"
The old man subconsciously took a step back.
There was a crisp sound and the flowerpot was kicked over.
Hearing the noise, Shan Shen in the room pushed open the window and stared at them with big eyes.
Xu Jianchong raised his chin to the old man and said slowly to Shan Shen: "Master Shan, have you taken off his pants?"
