Yan Cigui

Chapter 89 What’s wrong (two updates in one)

After Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, she didn't even need Xu Jian and Shan Shen to ask. She went on one by one.

Beside the writing desk, the master was writing furiously.

“He has been in frequent contact with his godfather, so his wife noticed the clues. He has good eyesight and can see through the identity of his godfather at a glance.”

"It seems that the wife advised him not to have any contact with his godfather, so as not to harm the family business, but Zhu Cheng was afraid that she would tell her, so he tried every means to silence her."

"The godfather was well-informed and gave him a prescription to add to the Madam's anti-aging medicine soup. Who knew that Zhu Cheng was a coward, so he didn't add enough medicine, and the Madam poured it out but didn't pour it completely. Finally, he I had to keep adding to it to make Madam look like that.”

"Comparing my feelings, I pity his wife. She has been hanging on her life like this for eight whole years without any relief."

“It’s said outside that Zhu Cheng is so good to her and doesn’t give up on her. Oh, it makes me laugh. Zhu Cheng doesn’t even blush when he says this.”

“How many good people can there be in the British government? It seems wrong to say so. It’s not them who are lying there in pain. It’s enough to get a good reputation and have a share. It’s a matter of turning a blind eye.”

"Only my daughter cares about her. I don't know what kind of blessing Zhu Cheng got in his previous life to have such a kind-hearted daughter. She speaks harshly but is gentle in dealing with things. She sometimes comes to my place and looks at her like this. For a moment, I felt pity for her. She didn’t know anything. If she knew it was her father who did this to her mother, I don’t know how much tenderness she would have left..."

“My godfather asked me to keep an eye on Zhu Cheng. What’s the point? Does such a useless thing dare to say that he has harmed his wife?”

"My godfather told us to dig for those two boxes of gold bricks. It's not because I'm interested in getting rich. With a humble life like mine, I'd be satisfied with a little gold and a few jewelry pieces. How dare I think about gold bricks? Still two boxes.”

"Who knows what my godfather is thinking. He has been buried for so many years. He didn't dig it out sooner or later, but he decided to dig it out at this time. If he had said earlier that he could have done it when Laoshi Alley was empty, why would he lose it in the future? In Gao An’s hands.”

Wang Niangzi East and Western Section, there is no order when thinking of what to say.

Master took notes one by one, feeling heavy and uncomfortable in his heart.

In his life, he has remembered trivial squabbles between neighbors, and murder cases in which a whole family was killed because of a disagreement. He has also almost written down a book of charming words, and there are also weird and weird nonsense that are incomprehensible.

 Having seen a lot, I used to be able to accept any confession I heard, but now I just feel uncomfortable.

 Looking at Shan Shen quickly, he saw that Mr. Fu Yin was also serious. Thinking about it, the master was probably in the same situation as him.

 They are all fathers.

 They all have daughters.

His daughter is already married, and the daughter of a Shan family is waiting to be married. But as a father, how can he feel comfortable when he thinks that his daughter is very likely to meet a **** like Zhu Cheng?

 Eight years!

　　Even if you fail every time, you can pass three subjects!

 This does not even include Kai Enke!

Xu Jian listened for a while and said calmly: "I have said so much, why not talk more about your godfather."

By coincidence, Mrs. Wang’s stomach growled with a rumble.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Sir, the prison food smells like it, and I'm not full."

Shan Shen is a flexible person.

As long as Madam Wang is honest, what does it matter if she gives you a good meal?

The yamen went out for a trip and quickly prepared a bowl of hot noodle soup, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a plate of mutton.

Shan Shen was stunned for a moment and said to Xu Jian in a low voice, "I didn't do this before."

 They live in Shuntian Mansion and are not that wealthy.

The yamen servant was called to explain: "That's what Mr. Zhu Si left. The white-cut mutton looked clean. It's a pity that it was dumped. Anyway, they slept on the same bed, so they probably don't mind."

Zhu Cheng definitely did not eat prison food, but the British government was afraid that he would not be able to get used to the big pot of rice in the yamen, so he sent the food himself, and the yamen servants checked it before sending it in.

The Queen was sitting cross-legged on the ground, eating with gusto.

“Is prison food hard to eat? Yes, you have been following Zhu Cheng these past few years, and you have always been able to eat and drink well,” Xu Jian said casually, “What did your son eat?”

Madam Wang raised her head and glanced at Xu Jian, as if she was pondering his words.

  Xu Jian did not see any concern for the child from her reaction.

　　After thinking about it, he added: "Would you like to give your son some food?"

There was enough food on the table, and Mrs. Wang really couldn't finish it, so she didn't refuse: "Give him some as he pleases, he is still young and can't eat more than a few mouthfuls."

At this time, not only Xu Jian heard the clues, but also Shan Shen and Master frowned.

Generally speaking, even if a mother is hungry, she will always be thinking about her child's food.

Of course, in this big world, it’s not surprising that there are mothers who don’t love their children.

 The yamen servant packed some food.

As if he was not interested in waiting for Madam Wang to finish her meal, Xu Jian stood up and walked out of the house, standing on the porch with her hands behind her back to enjoy the breeze.

When the yamen servant passed by, Xu Jian stopped him and whispered: "Ask the nanny what the child likes to eat and what taboos he has."

Shan Shen also came out. After hearing this, he thought carefully and said, "What do you mean, the Duke of the country, that the child was not born in this outer room?"

Before Xu Jian could answer, Shan Shen stroked his beard and continued his analysis: "Shouldn't it be right? With her big mouth that pours out everything, if she raises a son for Zhu Cheng who has nothing to do with her, she will I’ve been shouting for a long time.”

Xu Jian chuckled and agreed with Shan Shen's description.

“I didn’t think about it before, but I just had an idea,” Xu Jian said. “There’s nothing to lose by asking a few more questions.”

 Not long after, the yamen servant came back from prison.

"The child doesn't eat mutton," he said, pouting at Madam Wang who was using her chopsticks inside. "Don't you even know what the child eats and doesn't eat? The wet nurse knows that very well, and she thought The yamen took care of the child and was willing to give him some good food, so he carefully mentioned the taboos. "

 Xu Jian has it all.

 After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Mrs. Wang finally finished eating.

Shan Shen said: "My stomach is full, isn't it time to say godfather?"

Mrs. Wang said it, rambling here and there, but there was no important word.

"Do you think that the Bricks are gone anyway, and the world is so big, as long as you don't betray him, he will be safe?" Xu Jian squinted at her, "Zhu Cheng is useless, an abandoned son; you were also caught, and you Abandon yourself, don't show your godfather, and everything will be fine.

But you seem to have forgotten that if you don’t care about your son, your godfather may not care about him, right?

It allows you to raise the child without complaint. Whose child is it?

Don't try to blame your godfather. He has no descendants and cannot give birth to a son. "

The Queen frowned and swallowed.

"It's okay if you don't say anything. I'll find a few old people from the palace to recognize you," Xu Jian said. "I'd be more relaxed if I were you. Anyway, I've already said a lot, not less than this."

Prison food is so unpalatable, you don’t want to eat it every day before you go on the road, right?

 Tell me more. From now on, whatever Zhu Cheng eats for three meals, you will eat the same.

You only have a few months to live, so be kind to yourself. "

 The Queen’s face fell.

A pair of slender willow-leaf eyebrows, with their eyebrows furrowed into a furrow, looked at Xu Jian coldly.

Is this the Duke of Fuguo?

 It’s just too young.

If it were someone older, she would still have the cheek to wink a few times, soften her voice and say a few ouch.

 Ke Fuguo Gong looked at it and refused to accept that trick.

She has seen a lot of people, and she has managed to develop some discernment.

 A young man with a distinguished family background like the Duke of Fu will like delicate little girls.

She has a pretty face and makes people feel happy at first glance, but her temper is not that good. When her temper gets angry, she can say a few cruel words, and if she disagrees with her, she will immediately throw a bad face...

To put it bluntly, a daughter with a lot of money and a lot of love and care from the elders in the family can attract such a noble young man to the point where she is the only one in his heart.

That kind of expensive and coquettishness is that she will not be younger than a teenager.

 Let alone her now.

She was woken up by a knock on the door in the middle of the night. She got caught in the rain while setting up a ladder for Zhu Cheng, and was then thrown into a cell, leaving her hair disheveled and embarrassed.     It's better to save some energy and don't do such embarrassing things.

  It failed to win over, but it was a joke.

As for the governor, he might be able to admire Xu Niang, but with the Duke of Fu nearby, he must value his official title, and he would not be so foolish as to be seduced by a female prisoner.

 Looking at his appearance, Shan Fuyin is not that kind of fool.

Mrs. Wang understood the situation and sighed: "If you are going to draw a cake for others, why not draw a round and fragrant one? You said I am going to go on the road, how can I be more active?"

Xu Jian asked calmly: "The world is really a pie, do you dare to take it? I said you can't die, do you really believe that you can survive? Or are you as naive as Zhu Cheng?"

Mrs. Wang is not naive at all.

“That child was indeed not born to me,” she said honestly, biting her lip, “when my godfather handed him over to me, he seemed to be only one month old.

 The godfather didn’t tell me his specific origins, and I didn’t ask.

 You can really ask the old man in the palace to identify it. I think it is what you have thought about.

This is really not something I did to Zhu Cheng. He has been in love with me for a long time. Does he know whether I am pregnant or not?

 He insisted on saying that he was his son and had nothing to do with me. "

Shan Shen’s mouth twitched when he heard this.

Then what’s wrong with Zhu Cheng?

　　He is positive when he recognizes a rootless godfather; he is still positive when he recognizes an irrelevant son.

　　　To say that I have such a deep relationship with Wai Shi that I don’t mind raising a stepson...

 The child was not born from the outer room, and the relationship with the outer room was not deep at all!

Without looking at the outside room, he opened and shut his mouth and sold him to the sky.

"I really don't know the whereabouts of my godfather. He has always seen the beginning but not the end of the dragon," Madam Wang said. "I used to have a hard time. My parents died. If I hadn't run so fast, God knows, I would have been sold to the old man. When I was young, I was sold to a flower house.

Having no money and starving, I became a thief. Once I stole from my godfather and was caught by him.

 Maybe he felt sorry for me, or maybe he wanted to raise an obedient chess piece, so he accepted me as his goddaughter.

　　is not bad either.

Since then, I have never been hungry, and I don’t have to do strenuous work. I have had good food and drink for so many years, and my life has been worthwhile.

If not, he might have died somewhere..."

 When talking about her own experience, she probably felt it deeply in her heart, and Madam Wang’s voice became hoarse.

Shan Shen looked at her and sighed secretly.

 You can see it, it’s true.

　　It is much more genuine than Zhu Cheng’s previously false and affectionate words.

Madam Wang felt sorry for herself for a while, then she managed to cheer up and said, "My godfather calls himself Wang, and others call him Wang Yuanwai. He used to live in Liu'an Town on the outskirts of Beijing.

 After I moved to Liuguo Hutong, he seemed to no longer live in Liu'an Town. He has a residence in Beijing. I don't know where it is.

Zhu Cheng may know that, after all, when he first came into contact with his godfather, I had nothing to do with him. "

Seeing that Mrs. Wang had nothing new to say, Shan Shen asked the yamen to **** her back to the prison.

 Then, Xu Jian and Shan Shen continued to interrogate Zhu Cheng.

 With Mrs. Wang's confession, Shan Shen was no longer as polite to Zhu Cheng as before.

"Your outer chamber has explained everything," Shan Shen said. "If you accidentally harmed Li Yuanfa, you might be able to escape unscathed. But if you murder your wife, it will be different."

Zhu Cheng opened his mouth to deny it, but when he saw Xu Jian looking at him coldly, he didn't dare to speak when the words came to his lips.

Shan Shen just pretended not to notice Zhu Cheng's fear and hesitation, and continued: "You recognize your father and raise your son, what are you trying to do?"

“I don’t want to raise my son?” Zhu Cheng blurted out.

Shan Shen looked at him with a dull face: "I told you, I am not a fool."

 Zhu Cheng shrank his neck.

Xu Jian rubbed his eyebrows and looked tired: "You are not tired, Master Shan and I are tired.

In this way, at dawn tomorrow, you can go directly to the imperial study room to speak.

 Talk about Eunuch Wang, talk about Eunuch Wang and his master, and say that Eunuch Wang saw the gold bricks being buried more than ten years ago, and why he wants to dig them out now.

 Let's talk about the time when your relationship with Eunuch Wang was discovered by your wife, and you used powdered medicine to harm her.

After reading the prescription for the medicinal powder, I estimate that your biological father, the British prince, will have enough time to kneel in front of the emperor. The old man will drink the prescription and see if the symptoms are the same as before.

Don't say I don't respect the elderly. Once this powder recipe comes out, no one in the Zhu family, old or young, can run away. "

 At this time, Zhu Cheng was anxious.

Xu Jian has already made it clear before that it was the poisonous recipe used by the king's servant to harm His Highness King Ding.

That big-mouthed woman has already explained everything, and it is of no use for him to stand firm.

"I, I really didn't know it would be like this..." Zhu Cheng wiped the sweat on his forehead, "She recognized the **** and said that I colluded with the rebels and she wanted to report him.

 I just recognized such a person, how could I know that he had ulterior motives?

 But she didn’t even listen to my explanation. How could I dare to let her speak out?

The **** gave me a prescription that could silence my wife.

I promised that the prescription would not kill her. I really didn’t want her life. I just thought it would damage her throat and make her unable to speak. I even used a small amount. I don’t know. She would end up like that.

I went to the dead **** to ask for an explanation, but he didn’t think there was anything wrong with him and said he had no more women to compensate me.

 That woman turned out to be a snake-hearted person and talked nonsense!

  She said the son is not mine? She said I knew it well? Nonsence!

 I want to know, can I think of taking my son home? If my father and the others hadn't stopped me, I would have admitted it long ago!

　　The dead **** said he wanted to dig gold bricks before, but he didn’t give a reason. I didn’t want to do it, so I guessed that the origin of his gold bricks was unknown!

 But they threatened me that if I didn’t dig, they would tell everything about me. I could only...

 I was forced to get to this point step by step, I, I..."

Zhu Cheng was still talking to himself, and then he saw Xu Jian smile.

 Very cold and sarcastic.

Xu Jian did not hide her disdain at all: "Are you three years old this year? Others lead you in everything, where are your own feet? Stop saying such exculpatory words, you are not that innocent. Master Shan said that you What's coming?"

Seeing his eyes fall on him, Shan Shen laughed dryly.

It seemed that the handsome face of the Duke of Fu could not express such nonsense, so Shan Shen followed his lead and repeated what he had said before.

"If you can figure it out with your butt, don't say it's over your head."

 Zhu Cheng couldn't pretend anymore.

 He grabbed the notebook beside the couch that was given to him to amuse his time, and threw it at Xu Jian and Shan Shen.

The injured body couldn't exert much strength, so the script didn't fly far and fell to the ground without touching Xu Jian's shoes.

 On the contrary, it was Zhu Cheng whose muscles and bones were sore and he was moaning.
