The coachman was originally just an outsider, but after this series of threats, he had given up.
Therefore, when he fell to the ground, the coachman immediately said to Zhu Zanxun, "Young master, spare me! I will tell you everything. I will tell you everything I know."
Zhu Zanxun just showed a non-committal attitude towards the driver's begging for mercy.
"Didn't you just tell me that you just happened to be passing by? What else do you want to say now?"
Faced with Zhu Zanxun's words, the coachman was immediately dumbfounded. He only let out a brief sigh.
Then he immediately said, "Master, it's not what you think. I can recruit you. I can recruit anything. I just talked nonsense. Just give me a chance."
Seeing the coachman's appearance, Zhu Zanxun said coldly, "Since you want to say it, then explain it properly. If I hear a lie from you, I won't be polite to you! I'll deal with you." There are plenty of means, you only have one chance, seize it!"
Hearing Zhu Zanxun's warning, the coachman didn't know Zhu Zanxun's character. After all, the young master had always lived in seclusion. However, it was precisely because of this and the fact that he had witnessed the atrocities committed by the people above the Zhu family on their subordinates that the coachman simply did not dare to show off in front of Zhu Zanxun.
He only said yes one after another, and then he couldn't wait to tell everything he knew.
"Young Master! The person who ordered me to do this is the Second Young Master."
Zhu Zanxun was not surprised by what the coachman said. He just nodded and then motioned for the coachman to continue.
In order to survive, the coachman naturally just continued to say, "The second young master used to give me a sum of money every month, and he not only gave me money, he also gave it to the doorman and other women who guarded the entrance to the garden every month. One piece of silver per month."
"What did he want to do by giving you all this money?" Although Zhu Zanxun had roughly guessed Zhu Yuewu's intention, he still couldn't help asking the coachman.
After a brief moment of surprise, the coachman said in a low voice, "He asked us to monitor the movements of the young masters, especially the movements of you and the master. As for what he wants this information for, I don't know. I just know A week ago, he specially gave me a sum of money and asked me to focus on your affairs. I received the order and happened to know where you were going, so I took this news and went to the Second Young Master to claim credit. , I just didn’t expect that the second young master would let me continue to follow you after hearing about it. I agreed to him for the sake of money."
After saying this, the coachman only glanced at Zhu Zanxun cautiously: "Master, you should know what is going to happen next."
Hearing what the coachman said, Zhu Zanxun just nodded in agreement.
The coachman saw Zhu Zanxun nodded, and then asked cautiously, "Young Master, can you let me go?"
Facing the coachman's words, Zhu Zanxun said coldly, "Let you go? When did I promise to let you go? You followed me secretly, but I let you go. Then wouldn't everyone else follow suit in the future?" you?"
Upon hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, the coachman was immediately dumbfounded.
However, thinking back carefully, Zhu Zanxun seemed to have never admitted that he wanted to let him go from beginning to end. For a moment, he just wailed in his heart. It seemed that his life was probably not guaranteed.
However, just when he thought there was no way out, Zhu Zanxun gave him another hope.
"But since you have a good attitude in admitting your mistake, I can give you a lighter sentence. So today you go to the yard to get twenty sticks. After receiving the twenty sticks, you can leave the Zhu family."
Upon hearing that Zhu Zanxun said that he was not going to beat him to death, the coachman had a glimmer of hope. However, when he thought that he would be beaten twenty times, he might not be able to bear it. Ye'er just received ten sticks, and he died on the same day.
Although as a man, he may be rougher and thicker, he has received ten more sticks than Liu Ye'er.
So thinking of this, the coachman only looked sad again.
"Young Master
, if you give me twenty sticks, I won't be beaten to death. Please ask the young master to lighten my punishment some more! "
When he heard that the coachman was bargaining with his young master, the boy on the side couldn't help but scold the coachman.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zanxun suddenly said, "Do you want to reduce the punishment?"
The driver naturally nodded in agreement.
At this time, Zhu Zanxun said, "It is not impossible to reduce the punishment, but you have to cooperate with me in a play."
"Young Master, tell me! I will definitely cooperate." In order to survive, the coachman immediately shouted loudly.
Every day at noon, Crested Ibis will go home for lunch.
Although Mrs. Zhu is no longer here, Zhu Izhi's habit has not changed.
And because Crested Ibis had to have lunch at home, his sons almost always had to come back for lunch no matter what happened.
But no one expected that it was already past noon today and almost everyone in the Zhu family had arrived, but Zhu Zanxun still hadn't shown up.
Therefore, Zhu Ibis's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although Zhu Chengzhi and Zhu Zanxun were born from the same mother, the relationship between the two brothers was obviously not good.
Zhu Chengzhi just said sarcastically, "Why hasn't my good brother come yet? Is he going to hang out somewhere?"
Hearing Zhu Chengzhi's words, Zhu Yuewu on the side pretended to be humane and said, "Chengzhi, that's the eldest brother. Although the eldest brother went out today, his sister-in-law is back. It's time for the eldest brother to come back. I guess he was delayed by something." .》.z.br>
After hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, Zhu Iizhi finally set his sights on his future daughter-in-law.
"Where did you and Zanxun go today?"
Hearing Zhu Izhi's question, Shen Fanghui could only whisper, "Returning to the master, the eldest young master and I went to the rouge shop and the clothing store. He said he would prepare some women's things for me."
Hearing this, Zhu Iuzhi's face brightened slightly, but then he just continued to ask, "Then where is he now?"
Shen Fanghui naturally only tried her best to cooperate with Zhu Zanxun and said, "He probably went to change clothes."
However, the expression on her face was obviously still a little unnatural.
Then Zhu Chengzhi immediately took advantage of the opportunity and said, "Sister-in-law, please stop covering up for my eldest brother. I'm afraid that my eldest brother didn't go to change clothes at all, but went out to fool around and hasn't come back yet."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Izhi's anger fell on him, "Shut up! Don't blame your brother for what you did."
And when Zhu Ibis was reprimanding his ignorant son, Zhu Zanxun also appeared at this time, but there was only one person behind him. This combination was naturally very strange in the eyes of others.
However, because of the presence of the Crested Ibis, no one dared to speak first, and the Crested Ibis naturally saw the situation here, so he only glanced at the human escort behind Zhu Zanxun when he arrived at the lobby and said, "This What happened?"
Seeing his father questioning him, Zhu Zanxun only kicked the coachman who was tied into a rice dumpling.
It was also at this moment that Zhu Yuewu saw clearly what the tied driver looked like.
Once he saw the other person's face clearly, it was Zhu Yuewu's turn to face him coldly.
He said why his good brother didn't show up for so long. It turned out that he was preparing to make a living for himself again.
But he couldn't say anything at this moment, and Zhu Zanxun said to the man at this moment, "Father is asking you something, why don't you answer him quickly?"
After hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, the coachman immediately said, "Master, please forgive me. I shouldn't have done this. I am guilty. I will never dare to follow the young master again."
As soon as he heard the word stalking, Zhu Iizhi's face obviously became very embarrassed.
"Following? Why are you following the eldest young master?" Zhu Izhi asked coldly.
The coachman who was questioned by the Crested Ibis only watched secretly
He glanced at Zhu Yuewu, and then before Zhu Yuewu's warning eyes lit up, he immediately said, "You villain, villains are also ordered by others."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuewu was ready to strangle him to death. He wondered if this kid would expose him.
At this time, Zhu Ibis clearly realized something, and he immediately asked, "Who is instructing you?"
In this short moment, he recalled almost all the people who had been against him in the past.
However, these people were either dead or injured. He really couldn't think of anyone who would have the guts to send someone to his home as an undercover agent.
But I didn't want it to be just when Zhu Izhi was suspicious and Zhu Yuewu was so worried. The coachman suddenly whispered, "The person who ordered the villain is Butler Cheng."
As soon as he said this, Zhu Iuzhi immediately arranged for the servants around him to quickly call in Butler Cheng, who was in charge of the affairs of the outer courtyard.
Soon, a thin, middle-aged man with a long beard and a gentle look walked in from the outer courtyard.
As soon as he saw the coachman and looked at the person sitting above him, he already understood what had happened.
But he still said, "Master, what do you want from me?"
Zhu Iizhi just looked at the housekeeper coldly and said, "What do you think I can do to you?"
Butler Cheng shook his head in confusion, "I don't know."
"Do you know this coachman?" Zhu Zanxun suddenly asked.
Butler Cheng glanced at the coachman, then smiled and said, "Young master, you are joking. I am in charge of this coachman, so of course I know him."
"Then do you know what this slave did just now?" Zhu Zanxun then asked again
Butler Cheng naturally shook his head.
Zhu Zanxun said, "He is following me."
After the words fell, he just added, "He also said that you gave the order to follow me."
Upon hearing this, Butler Cheng immediately smiled awkwardly and said, "This is no nonsense. How dare a villain follow you, young master?"
