Yan Cigui.

Chapter 89

After Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, Xu Jian and Shan Shen didn't even need to ask, one after another, she continued talking.

Beside the book case, the master is writing vigorously.

"He has been in contact with his godfather a lot, and his wife found out the clue. She has good eyesight, and she can see through the identity of the godfather at a glance."

"It seems that Madam persuaded him not to get in touch with his godfather, so as not to harm the family business, but Zhu Cheng was afraid that she would speak out, so he tried every means to silence her."

"The godfather is well-informed, and gave him the prescription, and asked him to add it to the nourishing medicine soup used by the wife. Who knew that Zhu Cheng was a coward, and the dose of the medicine was not enough, and the wife didn't pour it completely. In the end, he I have no choice but to continue to add to make my wife look like that."

"Comparing my heart to my heart, I feel pity for his wife. For eight years, she has been hanging like this without a single relief."

"It was also said that Zhu Cheng was so kind to her and never gave up on her. Oh, I laughed so hard, Zhu Cheng didn't blush when he said this."

"How many good people can there be in the British government? It seems that it is not right to say that. They are not the ones lying there in pain. It is enough to get a good name and share. It is a matter of turning a blind eye."

"Only my daughter loves her dearly. Zhu Cheng doesn't know what kind of blessings he has accumulated in his previous life to have such a kind-hearted daughter. She speaks harshly, but handles things gently. She sometimes comes to my place, just look at it like that For a while, I feel sorry for her. She doesn't know anything, if she knows that her father did it to her mother, I don't know how gentle she can be..."

"Godfather asked me to stare at Zhu Cheng, what is there to stare at, such a useless thing, dare to say that you have harmed your wife?"

"The two boxes of gold bricks were told by my godfather. He asked us to dig them out. I didn't do it just because of the money. I'm such a lowly life. I'm satisfied with a little gold and a few pieces of jewelry. I don't dare to think about gold bricks. Still two boxes."

"Who knows what godfather thinks, buried for so many years, he didn't dig sooner or later, he just wanted to dig at this time, but he said earlier that he could do it when Honesty Lane burned down, why would he pay for it? Gao An's hands."

Mrs. Wang went to the east section and the west section, and said what she thought of, and there was no order.

The master took notes one stroke at a time, feeling heavy and uncomfortable.

In his life, he had remembered trivial quarrels with neighbors, murderous cases of beheading his whole family due to a disagreement, and almost remembered a book of eclectic speeches, as well as strange and incomprehensible monster nonsense.

I have seen a lot, and I could accept any confession at first, but today I just feel uncomfortable.

He took a quick look at Shan Shen, and saw that Mr. Fu Yin was also very heavy. Thinking about it, the master probably had the same situation as him.

They are all fathers.

They both have daughters.

His daughter is already married, and the young daughter of Mr. Shan is waiting in her boudoir, but as a father, when he thinks that his daughter is very likely to meet a bastard like Zhu Cheng, can he feel at ease?
Eight years!
If you fail the test every time, you can take three subjects!

And that's not counting Kaienko!
Xu Jian listened for a while, then said lightly, "I've said so much, why don't you tell me more about your godfather."

It was also a coincidence that with a grunt, Mrs. Wang's stomach growled.

Her eyeballs rolled: "Gentlemen, the prison food tastes bad, I'm not full."

Shan Shen is flexible.

As long as Mrs. Wang is honest, what does it matter if she gives a good meal?
The yamen servant went out for a trip, and quickly prepared a bowl of hot noodle soup, another dish of stir-fried vegetables, and a plate of mutton.

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

They Shuntian Mansion, not so rich.

The yamen servant was called in to explain: "It's what Master Zhu Si left. The white-cut mutton looks clean, which is a pity. Anyway, they sleep on the same bed, so they probably don't mind."

Zhu Cheng definitely didn't eat prison meals, but the British government was afraid that he would not be used to the big pot meals of the yamen, so they sent the meals themselves, and the yamen servants checked them before sending them in.

Lady Wang sat cross-legged on the ground, eating with gusto.

"Prison food is unpalatable? That's right, you've been following Zhu Cheng for the past few years, and you've never lost money in eating and drinking," Xu Jian said casually, "What did your son eat?"

Lady Wang raised her head and glanced at Xu Jian, as if she was pondering what he said.

Xu Jian didn't see any concern for the child from her reaction.

After thinking for a while, he said again, "Do you want to give your son something to eat?"

There was enough food on the table, Mrs. Wang really couldn't finish it, so she didn't refuse: "Just feed him some, he can't eat a few bites even if he is young."

This time, not only Xu Jian heard the clue, but Shan Shen and the master frowned again and again.

Generally speaking, even if the mother is hungry, she will miss her child's meal.

Of course, the world is so big that it is not uncommon for mothers who do not love their children.

The yamen servant pretended to eat.

Seemingly not interested in waiting for Mrs. Wang to finish eating, Xu Jian got up and walked out of the room, standing on the porch with her hands behind her back to blow the air.

When the yamen servant passed by, Xu Jian called to stop him, and ordered in a low voice: "Ask the nanny what the child usually likes to eat, and what are the taboos."

Shan Shen also came out, and after hearing this, he thought about it and said, "What does the Duke mean, that child was not born in this outer room?"

Before Xu Jian could answer, Shan Shen stroked his beard, and continued to analyze: "Shouldn't it? With her big mouth that pours out everything, if she raises a son who has nothing to do with Zhu Cheng, she will It has already been called."

Xu Jian smiled lightly, agreeing with Shan Shen's description very much.

"I didn't think about it at first, but I had a flash of inspiration just now," Xu Jian said, "I don't lose anything by asking a few more questions."

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

"That child doesn't eat mutton," he said, curling his lips at Mrs. Wang, who kept chopsticks inside. "Doesn't the mother even know what the child eats and what he doesn't eat? That nanny is quite clear, and she thought The yamen took care of the children and was willing to give some good food, so they carefully stated the taboos."

Xu Jian has counted.

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

Shan Shen said: "My stomach is full, should I say godfather?"

Mrs. Wang said, rambling on and on, but nothing important.

"Do you think that the gold brick is 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, abandoned son; Abandon yourself, don't show your godfather, everything will be fine.

But you seem to have forgotten that if you don't care about that son, your godfather might not care, right?
Allows you to raise without complaint, who owns the child?

Don't try to push it on your godfather, he has cut off his sons and grandchildren, and he can't have a son. "

Lady Wang stiffened her neck and swallowed her saliva.

"It's fine if you don't say anything, I'll find a few old people from the palace to recognize you," Xu Jian said, "If I were you, I'd be more straightforward, anyway, I've already said a lot, so it's not too bad.

Prison food is so unpalatable, you don't want to eat those things every day before you go on the road, do you?
Tell me more, what Zhu Cheng eats for three meals in the future, you will eat the same.

You won't be able to live in a few months, so be nice to yourself. "

Lady Wang's face fell.

A pair of slender willow-leaf eyebrows wrinkled into a ravine, looked at Xu Jian coldly.

This is Duke Fu, right?
Just too young.

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

Ke Fu Guogong looked at it and didn't follow that.

She has seen a lot of people, and she has managed to practice her eyesight.

A young man of honorable background like Duke Fu would like a delicate little girl.

She looks beautiful, making people feel comfortable at first glance, but her temper is not so good. When her temper is up, she can say a few harsh words, and if she doesn't agree with her, she will directly throw a bad face...

To put it bluntly, a rich daughter who was loved and cared for by the elders in the family can win such a noble man so that she is all in his heart.

That kind of nobility and squeamishness is something that Mrs. Wang would not have even if she was a teenager.

Let alone her now.

She was woken up by knocking on the door in a dream in the middle of the night, and got caught in the rain when she was building a ladder for Zhu Cheng, and then she was locked in a cell, with her hair disheveled and embarrassed.

It's better to save some effort and don't do such embarrassing things.

If you can't win over, it's a joke.

As for the Fuyin lord, he might be able to appreciate Xu Niang, but with Duke Fu at his side, he definitely puts his official hat at the top of his list, and he definitely wouldn't be so foolish as to be seduced by a female prisoner with winking eyes.

Looking at his face, Shanfu Yin is not that kind of stupid person.

Mrs. Wang understood the situation and sighed: "Drawing cakes for people, at least draw a round and fragrant one? You said that I am going on the road, so where can I be active?"

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

Mrs. Wang is not naive at all.

"That child was indeed not born to me," she bit her lip, and said honestly, "When the godfather handed him over to me, he seemed to be only a month old.

Godfather didn't say his specific origin, and I didn't ask.

You can indeed ask the old man in the palace to recognize it, I think it is what you think.

It's really not me who lied to Zhu Cheng about this matter, he has been with me for a long time, can he not know if I have been pregnant?
He insisted that it was his son, and it had nothing to do with me. "

The corner of Shan Shen's mouth twitched when he heard it.

So what's wrong with Zhu Cheng?

He is active in recognizing a rootless godfather; he is still active in recognizing an irrelevant son.

To say that he has such a deep relationship with his concubine that he doesn't mind raising a stepson...

That child is not from the outside room, and the relationship with the outside room is not deep at all!
Didn't see the outside room opened and shut up and sold him out.

"I really don't know the whereabouts of my godfather. He always sees his head but never sees his tail," Mrs. Wang said. When she was young, she was still sold to a flower house.

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

He may see me as pitiful, or he may want to raise an obedient pawn, so he accepts me as his goddaughter.

Not bad either.

After that, I haven’t been hungry, and I don’t have to work hard. After all these years of eating and drinking, the days are worth it.

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

When it came to her own experience, it was probably because she felt so deeply in her heart that Mrs. Wang's voice became hoarse.

Shan Shen looked at her and sighed secretly.

You can see it, it's true.

It is much more true than Zhu Cheng's affectionate words that were too fake to say before.

Mrs. Wang felt sorry for herself for a while, then pulled herself together, and said: "Godfather calls himself Wang, others call him Wang Yuanwai, and he used to live in Liu'an Town in the suburbs of Beijing.

After I moved to Liuguo Hutong, he didn't seem to live in Liu'an Town anymore. He had a residence in Beijing, but I don't know where.

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

Seeing that Mrs. Wang couldn't say anything new, Shan Shen asked the Yamen servants to take her back to prison.

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

With Mrs. Wang's confession, Shan Shen is not as polite to Zhu Cheng as before.

"You have explained everything in the outer room," Shan Shen said, "If Li Yuanfa was harmed by his negligence, he might be able to escape unscathed, but it will be different if you murdered Mrs. Zun."

Zhu Cheng opened his mouth to deny it, but seeing Xu Jian looking at him nonchalantly, he didn't dare to say anything when the words came to his lips.

Shan Shen 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?"

"My son, I don't want to raise him?" Zhu Cheng blurted out.

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

Zhu Cheng shrank his neck.

Xu Jian rubbed between her brows, and put on a tired look: "You are not tired, Master Shan and I are both.

In this way, tomorrow is dawn, you go directly to the imperial study and talk.

Talk about the eunuch Wang, talk about the eunuch Wang and his master, talk about the eunuch Wang watching the gold bricks buried with his own eyes more than ten years ago, why is he digging out now.

Let's talk about your dealings with Eunuch Wang, and after Mrs. Zun found out, you used medicine powder to harm her.

Read the medicine powder prescription, I reckon your dear father Yingying will have enough time to roll in front of the imperial court and kneel, the old man will drink the prescription to see if the symptoms are the same as back then.

Don't say I don't respect the elderly, once this medicine powder prescription comes out, none of you, old and young, in the Zhu family will be able to escape. "

Now, Zhu Cheng is in a hurry.

Xu Jian had already said it thoroughly before, that was the poisonous prescription of the king's servant to harm His Highness Ding Wang.

The big-mouthed woman had already confessed everything, and it was useless for him to stand up.

"I, I really didn't know this would happen..." Zhu Cheng wiped the sweat on his forehead, "She recognized the eunuch and said that I was in collusion with the traitor, and she wanted to report it.

I just recognize such a person, how do I know that he has ulterior motives?
But my wife doesn't listen to my explanation at all, how dare I let her speak out?

The eunuch gave me a prescription, saying that it could make my wife shut up.

It was agreed 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 speechless. I even used a small amount. I don't know. She will end up like that.

I asked the dead eunuch for an explanation, but he still didn't think there was a problem with him, and said that he had no women to compensate me for a woman.

In the end, that woman was talking nonsense with a femme heart!

She said the son is not mine?She said I knew it well?Nonsence!
I want to know, can I think about taking my son back home?If it hadn't been for my father and the others to stop me, I would have admitted it a long time ago!
The dead eunuch said before that he wanted to dig gold bricks, 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, if I don't dig, they will tell all about me, I can only...

I was forced to come to this step step by step, I, I..."

Zhu Cheng still said to himself, and then he saw Xu Jian smiled.

Very nonchalant, very sarcastic.

Xu Jian didn't hide her disdain at all: "Are you three years old this year? You are led by others, what about your own feet? Don't say such things as exoneration, you are not so innocent. Lord Shan said earlier that you What's going on?"

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

Fu Guogong's handsome face seemed unable to utter such stupid words, Shan Shen followed the lead, and repeated what he said earlier.

"Things that can be understood with your butt, don't say that you have gone through your brain."

Zhu Cheng couldn't pretend anymore.

Grabbing the notebook beside the couch for him to pass the time, he threw it at Xu Jian and Shan Shen.

The injured body couldn't exert much strength, and the notebook didn't fly very far, and landed on the ground without touching Xu Jian's shoes.

On the contrary, it was Zhu Cheng, with aches and pains in his muscles and bones, wailing.
