"If that's all, it would be easy to get rid of, but the problem now is that Mrs. Zhao has gone somewhere, and these two people took advantage of my absence and secretly ran away somewhere!"
"I just found that handsome guy after a long search. I don't know where he went. He only made himself look wet."
"But Mrs. Zhao can't be found no matter what, so I can only arrest that handsome brother first, and then wait for you to come back and then punish her."
Zhu Zanxun also knew that Chun'an would not easily doubt others. Unless the person was really worthy of suspicion, Chun'an would not take action easily. However, now that Chun'an has taken action, there must be something wrong with Mrs. Zhao.
So Zhu Zanxun just followed Chun'an to the dungeon. There was no one in the dark prison, and there was only a listless Jun brother in prison.
As soon as Brother Jun saw someone coming, and the two people who came were the two people who had a good chat with his aunt this morning, Brother Jun immediately rushed over and said, "Young Master! This eldest young master, I was wronged! I really I didn't do anything! Please let me go! I don't want those eighty taels anymore. I just ask you to spare my life. I don't know anything! I won't talk nonsense! I beg you to spare me. Bar!"
Seeing Brother Jun being so excited, Zhu Zanxun couldn't help but glance at Chun'an and said, "Have you tortured him?"
When Chun'an heard this, he immediately snorted, "How could I do such a stupid thing? This kid has no future. From the moment I found him, he was always startled. I just suspected that there was something wrong with him, but he continued The problem is that he is also sister Jixiang’s cousin. How could I torture him to extract a confession? I just arrested him and waited for you to punish him!"
Hearing Chun'an's words, Zhu Zanxun no longer doubted Chun'an. He just said to Brother Jun, "I won't kill you, let alone do anything to you. Why are you acting like this? I Is it scary?"
Hearing Zhu Zanxun's question, Brother Jun immediately shook his head.
Zhu Zanxun then asked, "Then you have encountered something terrible?"
I have to admit that Zhu Zanxun's question was very accurate. Brother Jun immediately did not dare to talk nonsense.
He just looked at Zhu Zanxun silently, but he didn't remain silent for long before his stomach made a thunderous sound.
He was hungry, after all, he hadn't eaten anything from last night to tonight.
That is, in the morning, he went to the pond and picked a few lotus pods.
But there were only a few lotus pods, and something like that happened after he ate a few. At that time, he only wanted to escape from the Zhu Mansion, so how could he still be in the mood to eat those lotus pods.
In addition, he was frightened afterwards, so although he didn't eat, he couldn't remember it. Chun'an was looking for Mrs. Zhao everywhere, and he also wanted to rub this handsome man's energy, so he deliberately There was no food for Brother Jun.
Now that handsome guy's stomach was upset, and the situation was a little embarrassing for a while.
Zhu Zanxun saw Brother Jun's hunger, and then he said to the people around him, "Go to the kitchen and get two side dishes. I'm afraid it's too late to make them now, so I'll see if there's any left in the kitchen to heat up." Give him some to fill his stomach quickly."
After listening to Zhu Zanxun's words, the servants around him quickly left.
Zhu Zanxun just waited here silently for them to come back.
Brother Jun was still a little scared, thinking that the young master must also come to ask him what happened.
But he didn't dare to say anything, after all, the murderer was the second young master. The people in this house are one family. When he saw those things, they would only think about covering up each other. How could they care about their own life and death?
However, Zhu Zanxun didn't ask anything. He asked Chun'an to bring a table and chair, and then he sat directly on the table and chair and read the book.
Seeing that he didn't ask questions, Brother Jun breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he couldn't help but have new worries. He only peeked at Zhu Zanxun from time to time.
Seemingly sensing Brother Jun's scrutiny, Zhu Zanxun only said to Brother Jun, "Don't worry, I won't ask you anything until you've had a full meal. Also, you are a relative of my old friend." , I won’t do anything to you, you don’t have to be afraid!”
Although Zhu Zanxun said this, it did not dispel Brother Jun's doubts.
However, while waiting for the meal, Zhu Zanxun did not ask anything, and because he was bringing leftovers, the boy came back very quickly. He did not wait too long, and the boy brought the food to him. Brought over.
And even though it was said to be leftovers, the food was actually extremely delicate. It was a delicacy that Brother Jun couldn't eat on weekdays.
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Brother Jun swallowed in disappointment.
After a long time, he whispered, "Is this for me to eat?"
Zhu Zanxun nodded, and after he nodded, Brother Jun immediately started gobbling it up. He was really hungry.
After finishing a bowl of rice and a large plate of braised lion's head, he finally remembered that what he ate seemed a little too careless. If someone poisoned it, wouldn't he be poisoned to death?
However, the meal was already finished and he didn't feel any discomfort, so the poisoning should be impossible.
When Brother Jun thought of this, he continued to eat with peace of mind. This time he chewed slowly and stopped chewing the peonies.
After silently finishing several large bowls of rice, Brother Jun finally belched and put down the bowl and chopsticks when he was sure that he really couldn't eat any more.
He looked at Zhu Zanxun with envy. Life was really easy for rich young masters like them. They were fed so well, dressed so well, and surrounded by groups of maids and slaves, looking majestic.
If I had a few more beautiful concubines, my life would be even more comfortable.
However, this is just his personal imagination.
Zhu Zanxun asked in a low voice, "Are you full?"
Faced with Zhu Zanxun's question, Brother Jun nodded, "I'm full."
After hearing this, Zhu Zanxun whispered, "Since you are full, can you tell me where you and Mrs. Zhao went?"
When Brother Jun faced Zhu Zanxun's question, he remained silent again.
Chun'an felt angry when he saw that he was like a dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.
He just immediately gave a lesson and said, "Master is asking you something! You are mute! Why don't you speak."
Hearing Chun'an's words, Brother Jun just complained incessantly.
He couldn't say anything else, so he could only whisper, "I've said everything I should say, but you don't believe me when I say it, and you insist on letting me say it even if I don't. So what do you want to hear? What do you want?" Just listen to what you said, okay?" Brother Jun said helplessly.
However, in Chun'an's eyes, Brother Jun's helplessness was like playing rogue.
He clearly felt that he couldn't do anything to him, so he treated himself so blatantly.
So Chun'an said angrily, "Don't be so glib! I want to hear the truth! Don't think that my master is easy to talk and easy to fool!"
But as soon as Chun'an finished speaking, Zhu Zanxun said to Chun'an, "Chun'an, you go down first, and everyone else goes down first."
After hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, Chun'an was obviously not convinced, and he wanted to say something else. However, Zhu Zanxun only said to Chun'an, "Chun'an, listen to me! You go down first!"
Chun'an had no choice but to go down now.
Then after everyone left, Zhu Zanxun whispered, "I can tell. You are worried. I guess you were threatened by something, so you didn't dare to say anything."
"Now there are only you and me here. You can tell me your story. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. After all, Jixiang was once a maid in my courtyard. I still want to return her bond of sale." Well, since you are his cousin, I naturally won’t do anything to you.”
"Can you tell me what happened now?"
It must be said that Zhu Zanxun's words were very sincere. For a moment, Brother Jun had the urge to tell him about the difficulties he was encountering now.
"My clothes actually got wet at that time. It was because I went down to the pond to pick lotus seeds and eat them. My aunt and I didn't eat in the morning.
I just wanted to get something to eat, and happened to see the lotus flowers growing happily in a nearby pond, so I went down to the pond. "
"After that, I was busy picking lotus seeds and didn't notice how my aunt was missing. In short, when I landed on the shore, I couldn't see my aunt anymore, so I had no choice but to look for my aunt everywhere, but it didn't matter where I went. I didn’t see my aunt either, but I got lost myself.”
Hearing Brother Jun's words, Zhu Zanxun did not refute. He just asked in a low voice, "Did you find your aunt later?"
Brother Jun immediately shook his head, "Not really."
"Since you didn't find your aunt, then why did you lie and say that your aunt went to the toilet when Chun'an asked you where your aunt went?" Zhu Zanxun continued to ask.
After hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, Brother Jun didn't say anything for a long time.
He looked at Zhu Zanxun in silence. After a long time, he whispered, "I...I don't know why I said that at that time."
Zhu Zanxun said in a low voice, "I also think there is something wrong with what you said. If you are really looking for your aunt everywhere, then when Chun'an asks you, you should tell the truth. After all, only by telling the truth can Chun'an help you." It is much better to find your aunt than to look for her alone."
After hearing Zhu Zanxun's analysis, Brother Jun said nothing. After all, this was indeed what he said and he couldn't refute it at all.
Zhu Zanxun went on to say, "Actually, after Chun'an arrested you, he searched everywhere in the house for your aunt."
"However, he almost turned the entire Zhu Mansion upside down, but he still couldn't find your aunt. Moreover, he also asked the guard at the door, and the guard only said that neither of you two had ever left the house!"
"To be honest, I think this is very strange, and I guess your aunt is no longer alive. And you must have seen something at that time, right?"
