I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 17

Gu Buquan bowed to County Magistrate Lu, and County Magistrate Lu went to stand in front of the wine table very cooperatively, and looked behind him, proudly said: "Miss Buquan is right, anyone behind me can be behind. Including you, Butler Zhu."

"This doesn't explain anything." Zhu Ding waved his hand, his face full of disdain, "Hey, when will it be the turn of a coffin woman to ask questions in my Zhu Mansion?"

The big wrench on his thumb shone green in the sun, making his face green.

"Hey, when is it the turn of a butler in the Zhu Mansion to show off his power here? Those who don't know think that you are always the master of the Zhu Mansion. Are you the master of all the orphans and widows in this house?"

Gu Buquan responded leisurely, neither in a hurry nor in annoyance, and Zhu Yuanbao lost his temper immediately, especially the big wrench in Zhu Ding's hand made him dizzy, do you think it's annoying or not?
"My son is here, but there is no servant in my Zhu family to speak. My father is gone, and now I am the master, entrusting Brother Stupid and Miss Incomplete to investigate the case and find out the murderers who killed my father and Miss Qiao'er , and give justice to the deceased.”

"My son, you have finally grown up." Mrs. Taichang had tears in her eyes.

Zhu Yuanbao was colorful all over, and a piece of cloth had been torn off his chest by Gu Buquan. His appearance was very ridiculous, but at this moment, in the eyes of his nine mothers, he finally looked like a man, worthy of being the head of the Zhu family. .

"I, this old slave, have been loyal to Zhu's mansion, which is a lesson from heaven and earth."

Zhu Ding immediately changed his face, rushed to the side of Master Taichang's body and wailed loudly, and kept saying that he wanted to go with the master. The servants and guests enthusiastically persuaded him once more, and then stopped in aggrieved manner. .

"Before worshiping the hall, where are you?" Just after the silence fell, Ling An's husky voice sounded again unexpectedly.

"Uh..." Zhu Ding was stunned, and everyone was staring intently at him waiting for his answer.

"Let me tell you, Butler Zhu was not far from the bride at that time." Gu Buquan said, "I came down from the wall just to see the bride, but Butler Zhu blocked my sight."

At that time, Gu Buquan accidentally "falled from the sky" and landed on Ling An's back. Hua Rattle was chasing after them all over the ground, shouting and killing. The scene was very chaotic. The master waved his gold-encrusted cane furiously.

"Wait a minute..." She suddenly remembered something, and looked behind Zhu Ding suspiciously, when an old voice sounded from outside the door.

"There is no doubt that the murderer is Zhu Ding."

As soon as the words fell, an old man with a white beard and an old woman with white hair suddenly appeared in the courtyard of the Zhu Mansion.

Everyone looked at the visitor curiously, only Zhang Dashan seemed a little uneasy, and A Huan also began to bark uneasy.

The old man and the old woman hunched over and supported each other, they trembled in front of Zhu Ding and then quickly separated, forming an angle between Zhu Ding and Gu Buquan.

Ling An obviously realized this, and couldn't help frowning, and blocked Gu Buquan with his arm, protecting Gu Buquan behind him.

It's just that Gu Buquan didn't appreciate it at all, instead he left him and stood in front, because, like the cloaked man, these two people had never seen each other before.

Are there too many strangers in Maple Leaf Town recently?

She looked out the door cleverly, but there was no figure of the cloaked man, wondering if he was hiding in a corner and peeking?
Zhu Ding was stunned by Ling An's question at first, and was thinking of words to refute Gu Buquan's identification of him, and then he was startled by the sudden appearance of two people. Old Kuchai, who couldn't even stand still, couldn't help but sneer.

"Where can cats and dogs come to Zhu's mansion to talk nonsense? Is Zhu's mansion the county government court where you can play around at will?" As he spoke, he squinted at the county magistrate Lu, completely ignoring the county magistrate.

"Butler Zhu, what are you talking about? Although the courtroom of the county government is a bit dilapidated, not everyone can go up there to play around. Unless, butler, you want to go? Then I have to think about it. What should I use to greet you, an honored guest. But you can rest assured that this officer was born in a family of poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and righteousness. I don't want to have the same knowledge as the big housekeeper, let alone avenge my personal revenge. The case must be tried fairly. "

Seeing that the spearhead had turned to Zhu Ding, County Magistrate Lu felt he was finally free from suspicion, and he was in a good mood immediately. He spoke politely to Steward Zhu, but every sentence was sinister.

Zhu Ding put away his smiling face in an instant, and sternly yelled at the servants, "What are you doing for food? You can't even guard a single gate, so anyone can come in and out at will? Why don't you just blow these two old dead woods to me?" go out!"

The servant immediately rushed towards the old man and woman in a vicious manner, expecting to throw him out of the gate with his neck hanging like Carrying Sixi.

But I didn't want to, although the old man coughed and the old woman was panting, he stepped back a few steps extremely sensitively, and the servants fell to the ground like an arhat.

"A group of things that eat for nothing and have no use for birds." Zhu Ding was so angry that he stepped forward to do it himself.

"Slow down." County magistrate Lu cut off his voice, "Since the two elders came forward to identify the murderer, there must be a reason for their identification. If Butler Zhu has no ghosts in his heart, we can let the two of them make it clear, so that we can pay Butler Zhu back. Innocence, why cover your mouth and nose like this, it looks guilty, doesn't it?"

Zhu Ding waved his hand annoyedly: "Now it's important to reassure the master, who wants to listen to the nonsense of two country old bastards here?"

"My lord wants to hear." Zhu Yuanbao suddenly responded, pointing at his nine mothers, "They also want to hear."

The guests didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so they also responded: "We want to hear it too."

Steward Zhu never expected that the situation would suddenly take a turn for the worse, and he would become the target of public criticism. It seemed impossible to keep the two old men from talking.

"Since I, Zhu Ding, haven't done anything wrong, I'm not afraid of you biting people."

"Then let's borrow the precious land of the Zhu Mansion."

County Magistrate Lu dusted off his shirt, sat down in front of the wine table, and slammed the chopstick rest like a gavel, "I am promoted."

"mighty--"

Lu Yang and others lined up in two rows in front of them, and the Zhu Mansion's compound was turned into the county government hall, and the case really started to be tried as if something had happened.

"It's really funny, today you are co-authors who want to destroy our Zhu Mansion, right?"

Zhu Ding waved the hand with the big finger wrench, shrugged his shoulders, and regained his air of being the chief butler of Zhu's residence, squinting at the "court".

"I'm telling you, I, Old Zhu, are also the housekeeper of the Zhu Mansion. I have been in the officialdom with the master for decades. I haven't seen such a big storm? It's not your turn to play tricks in front of me."

Zhu Ding looked arrogant, but he didn't notice that the eyeballs of the old man and the old woman followed his big finger closely from beginning to end.

"The two elders are old, so they don't have to kneel. For the sake of fairness, Zhu Ding also doesn't have to kneel. You see, this official has always been so considerate and impartial."

The county magistrate Lu was a little moved when he said that, and asked the old man and woman very kindly.

"Who is the last name and where does he live, please report it quickly."

"My surname is Hei, my wife's surname is Bai, and I live at..." the old man's eyes rolled, and he replied, "I live at the coffin shop in Maple Leaf Town."

"My family?" Gu Buquan was taken aback, there was only one coffin shop in Maple Leaf Town, who else besides her family?

The old woman smiled sinisterly, and looked sideways at her: "You are Gu Quan's precious little apprentice Gu Quan in the coffin shop, aren't you? Your master has some distant relatives with the old man."

Gu Buquan looked at the two strangers in front of him more and more suspiciously.

In the past 18 years, I have lived with my master, but I have never heard from my master that he has any relatives.

A Huan in Zhang Dashan's arms barked uneasily again, the old woman stretched out her hand and touched its head, A Huan actually lowered her head and stopped barking, but Gu Buquan could see that A Huan's eyes were full of fear.

"Yo, I didn't expect that the coffin shop produced two masters with sharp eyes who can distinguish evil from evil."

Hua Yaoling came out in a very timely manner, with a twist of her buttocks, intentionally knocked Gu Buquan away from Ling An, and squeezed in between the two of them.

"Then what, don't be too busy chasing relatives for now, let's handle the case first."

County magistrate Lu patted the "gavel", and said seriously, "You two old men, black and white, you have identified Zhu Ding, the housekeeper of the Zhu family, what evidence do you have?"

no answer.

There was silence in the courtyard, only the coughing of the old man and the panting of the old woman.
