After hearing Zhu Zanxun's request to directly participate in handling the case, Mr. Zhu immediately refused because of Zhu Zanxun's physical discomfort.
However, facing his father's rejection, Zhu Zanxun showed a different determination than before.
"Father, I ask you to allow me to investigate Chunlan's case. After all, Chunlan and I grew up, and she has always taken care of my daily life. Her mother even died trying to save you. She can no longer be so unclear. He died for no reason!"
When Mr. Zhu heard this, he still disagreed and said, "Who said I want Chunlan to die inexplicably? Of course Chunlan cannot die in vain, and I have no intention of letting him die. Your second brother will investigate this matter, so you Don't worry."
After hearing Master Zhu's words, Zhu Zanxun immediately became more anxious.
"Father, Chunlan is the girl in my room, and my second brother is currently in charge of external affairs. I'm afraid he won't be busy at all at the moment. There is nothing going on in my room, so Chunlan's matter should be investigated by me. , for Li, it is more up to me to investigate." Zhu Zanxun showed extraordinary seriousness in investigating Chunlan.
Hearing Zhu Zanxun express such an attitude, Mr. Zhu no longer objected for a while, but he was obviously still worried about his eldest son. After all, he has been suffering from many illnesses since he was born. Except for going to school, Zhu Zanxun has only been in his own yard most of the time.
Not long after he married his step-wife, his condition became even more serious.
Because of this, he has actually given up on being the nominal eldest son among the successors of his family.
Even because of having this eldest son, he only became more aware that he should have more children, so that he would not have no successors due to the death of his eldest son.
Now the second and third children are in their prime. It's just that although the third child is of the right age, he has been timid and unable to achieve anything because of the pressure from the head-dressing lady.
On the other hand, the son he raised outside and gave birth to was very similar to himself when he was young, and he was quite capable at doing things. Not only was he the right age, but he also had a resolute personality and was even more capable in doing things.
Therefore, in his mind, the second child is more suitable to be his successor.
It's a pity that although the second child is a suitable existence, the eldest son, as the eldest son, is an existence that is difficult to overcome. Not to mention the uncles of the eldest son's natal family, it is impossible for the old guys in his own clan to accept it. A child who is neither a direct descendant nor an elder, and moreover, a child born out of another wife.
In fact, he has no special preference for these children to a certain extent. If Zhu Zanxun is healthy, he actually doesn't mind letting Zhu Zanxun continue to be the eldest son.
However, Zhu Zanxun's health was really not good. Even the fortune teller only said that he would probably not live to be twenty-five years old.
If a family wants to be prosperous for a long time, in addition to the existence of the leader who can control the overall situation, the person who controls everything must also be a healthy person.
It's a pity that the eldest brother is not in good health, and although the fourth child occupies the status of a legitimate son, he is really unlearned and unskilled.
So he doesn't consider his wife's children.
Now he is worried about how to make his second son recognized by everyone, so he can only ask his second son to perform his best in the hope of gaining recognition from some people. However, this was obviously not very effective, so at this time, he actually did not want his boss to show some talent.
Therefore, he wanted to say something more to persuade Zhu Zanxun. However, before he could speak, a gray-haired old man with a cane suddenly came to the door of the main hall.
As soon as he saw the elder, Mr. Zhu immediately did not dare to continue sitting in the big seat in the main hall. At that moment, he immediately stood up and said to the elder, "Uncle, why are you here?"
Even when he saw Mr. Zhu coming over so eagerly, the uncle didn't pay attention to Mr. Zhu at the moment. He just said with an unclear expression, "If I hadn't come over, I wouldn't have known you were so capable."
Although he said this, there was no lust on his face.
When Mr. Zhu saw him like this, he naturally felt something in his heart.
Clear and clear.
"What are you talking about, uncle? I just don't know what I did wrong."
"You're right." The uncle immediately said angrily after hearing this.
After hearing this, Mr. Zhu said no more. The uncle and grandpa shook him off, and then he sat directly on the table.
After sitting down, the uncle turned to look at Zhu Zanxun and said, "Zanxun, I heard that a girl died in your house?"
Zhu Zanxun naturally knew that this uncle was his staunch supporter. Since he asked questions, he would naturally ask questions to himself, and if he could come, it was probably because Butler Xu had gone to report the news early.
Therefore, Zhu Zanxun only said, "Uncle, this is what happened. And this girl is not an ordinary girl. Her father once saved my father's life. Her father died because of my father." , there was only one girl in their family, but in the end, this girl also died, and her death was really strange."
Hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, the old man just said, "Oh? I wonder what the strange method is?"
Facing the old man's question, Zhu Zanxun only said softly, "She was burned to death in the hut in my stepmother's garden. Logically speaking, the chance of a living person being burned to death in the hut should be low. Yes. After all, the latrine is only so big. If there is a fire, is it impossible for her not to come out?"
After hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, the old man only nodded in agreement.
"What you said makes sense!"
"We can't ignore this matter." Then the old man seemed to come to a conclusion after thinking for a moment.
Faced with the old man's conclusion, Mr. Zhu immediately cooperated and said, "Of course we cannot ignore this matter. I, Zhu Izhi, have never been so ungrateful as I am today."
After hearing what the old man said, Mr. Zhu couldn't help but said to him, "Uncle, don't worry, I can't just ignore your affairs."
However, even in the face of Mr. Zhu's comfort, the old man had no emotion at all.
He just asked calmly, "In that case, who are you going to arrange to do this?"
Obviously, after all the nonsense said before, this sentence is the key to everything.
Mr. Zhu only said in a low voice, "Zan Xun is in poor health, so naturally he is not suitable to investigate this matter. The third child is unable to take responsibility, and the fourth child is even more ridiculous, so I think this matter can only be handled by the second child." Go and do it, this guy is quick at work and in good health, so it’s a good idea to let him run errands.”
After Mr. Zhu said this, he only glanced at the old man sitting at the top. He saw that there was no special resistance on the old man's face.
Mr. Zhu only thought that the old man agreed to his proposal.
So he immediately added, "I'm going to ask someone to bring my second son here."
However, before he could finish his words, Zhu Zanxun interrupted his father's words, "It's better not to trouble my second brother with this matter about my father. He is busy with things. It would be good if I could help him deal with some things." ..
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhu immediately interrupted and said, "How can that be done? You are in poor health. If something happens to you because of this, who will inherit my family business."
Hearing Master Zhu's words, Zhu Zanxun only sneered sincerely in his heart.
His father always said one thing and did another.
Whether he is worried about his own health or that he cannot inherit the family business, what he is really worried about is that he is afraid that he will steal the limelight from his second son.
But he still said it so nicely.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zanxun could not help but feel a surge of hatred in his heart.
"Father, this is not troublesome. My second brother is already busy enough. I just solve this little problem at home. What's more, compared with Chunlan's matter, which can't be brought to justice, it's so hard for me to investigate the case." It’s nothing.”
Hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, before Mr. Zhu could speak first, the old man who had been silent couldn't help but take the initiative to speak, "What do you mean just helping him? You are the eldest son of our Zhu family and a member of our Zhu family." In the future, how can that wild boy from outside be qualified to help you? Even if you ask him to help, it will be
You think highly of him. So if you say such depressing words again, don't blame me, my uncle, for not caring about anything. "
When Zhu Zanxun heard this, he immediately said, "Uncle, my health is not good."
"What's wrong with your poor health? You're smart and studious, how can those people have such methods as you?"
After saying this, the old man turned to look at Zhu Zanxun again and said, "Boy, tell me what your plan is?"
Facing the other party's question, Zhu Zanxun only said softly, "I want to review Chunlan's case, and I don't want Chunlan to be unable to recite her eyesight."
After hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, the old man immediately nodded in agreement, and then said to Zhu Zanxun, "Good boy, of course this is what you should do, but they don't understand, so you That's right."
After saying this, the elder then only cast his gaze on Mr. Zhu's face.
He then turned to look at Mr. Zhu and said, "What did you just say?"
"I said this matter can be left to the second child?" Mr. Zhu immediately whispered.
"Leave it to the second brother? What can the second brother do for you? Don't be fooled by that boy. I think that boy is very cunning and has no good intentions."
Hearing the old man's words, Mr. Zhu's face only became a little embarrassed.
"Uncle, you can't say that. The second brother is also of my blood. I still imagine him and I when we were young. How can you say that this kid is arrogant?"
However, in the face of Mr. Zhu's attempt to muddy the waters, the uncle immediately scolded him, "How do you look at each other? You are an outsider, or an outsider who has been with other men outside. How big can this child be?" What’s the chance it could be your child?”
