"Young Master, there is actually no point in following me back. It's better to just let me go back alone!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest young master of the Liu family was indeed unwilling.
He intuitively felt that Zhu Chengzhi wanted to go away and never come back.
So he immediately retorted, "That's not okay! I can't promise you!"
The eldest young master of the Liu family obviously didn't realize what he said, but in fact it was exactly what Zhu Chengzhi wanted.
He only thought that Zhu Chengzhi really wanted to go back.
When Zhu Chengzhi saw that he had been fooled, he naturally wanted to do it.
Later, when Zhu Chengzhi returned, the eldest young master of the Liu family also followed Zhu Chengzhi back to the Zhu Mansion.
After returning to the Zhu Mansion, Zhu Chengzhi only found that the current Zhu Mansion was undergoing a major change of blood. The servants who were valued by his second brother in the past were only moved to some marginal corners.
However, the servants from my hometown were assigned to important positions in the past, and now none of the servants in my second brother's yard have disappeared.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Chengzhi was even more sad.
The eldest young master of the Liu family had no such thoughts. He just chirped beside Zhu Chengzhi like a noisy little bird.
The eldest young master of the Liu family just chirped, "I'm telling you, don't think you can get rid of me. If I don't agree to be thrown away, don't even think about getting rid of me!"
With the chatter of the eldest young master of the Liu family, the stressful schedule, which was originally full of worries, seemed much easier.
However, this relaxation did not last long. Unexpectedly, when the two of them passed by a garden, Zhu Chengzhi saw a familiar person here. That person seemed to be the old man in his second brother's former yard.
In the past, these people were only responsible for following the second brother in his yard.
However, I didn't expect that this person would be arranged to pull weeds in this garden.
When he saw this situation, Zhu Chengzhi was angry and a little excited.
He took the initiative to greet the man and said, "Do you still remember me?"
When he heard someone talking to him, the man who was pulling weeds under the sun raised his head and casually glanced in the direction of the person.
However, after seeing clearly who the visitor was, the man immediately knelt down in front of Zhu Chengzhi with a plop, "Third Young Master! You are back! You are finally back!"
Zhu Chengzhi felt a little sad in his heart. He asked in a low voice, "Why are you here? Weren't you in the second brother's yard before?"
The man just thought that Zhu Chengzhi didn't know about Zhu Yuewu, so he took the initiative to say to Zhu Yuewu, "Young Master, you don't know something. The Second Young Master's yard has been burned by fire, and the Second Young Master was also burned to death." Inside, not even the bones have been found.”
Although Zhu Chengzhi had heard about these words for a long time, when he heard Zhu Yuewu mention this again, Zhu Chengzhi still couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"How could this happen? When did this fire happen?" Zhu Chengzhi couldn't help but ask with concern.
Hearing Zhu Chengzhi's concern, the servant couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know what all this is about. I only know that after the eldest young master imprisoned the second young master in his house, the fire will be over in three days." The second young master was burned to death, and I heard that the cause of the fire was really strange. It was started when the eldest young master went to visit the second young master."
"And there was no fire or fuel in the yard at that time, but there was a fire in the house, and only the second young master and the eldest young master were in the house at that time. But the second young master died, but the eldest young master could still live here. Okay, no matter what I think, I find it strange, but I don’t dare to tell anyone. If I tell them, they will beat me. Moreover, after the second young master’s yard was burned, the eldest young master will not let others rebuild the second young master’s yard. Instead, he just dismissed all the other people in the Second Young Master's yard. Only those of us who had nowhere to go, he agreed to stay. But if we stay, we can't actually do anything good. Do you think all this is too strange? ?”
Zhu Chengzhi was already a little suspicious of his elder brother, but now after listening to the servant's words, he only felt that it was more likely that his second brother had done this.
So now Zhu Chengzhi feels even more resentful towards his eldest brother.
And he didn't have time to think much at the moment, as a group of people led him and the eldest young master of the Liu family directly to Zhu Zanxun.
Zhu Zanxun was somewhat surprised by the arrival of the eldest young master of the Liu family.
"Young master, why are you here?" Zhu Zanxun first motioned for the eldest young master of the Liu family to sit down, and then asked.
The young master of the Liu family who was questioned was obviously a little angry, "Didn't you say you wanted your brother to apologize to me? It's only been one night, why did you ask him to come back? You're not bullying me!"
I heard that the eldest young master of the Liu family was raising an army to investigate.
Zhu Zanxun couldn't help but chuckled, "Young Master Liu, you may be mistaken. I asked Chengzhi to come back not to take back what I said before. I just have something to explain to him. After the explanation, he will go back again." "
After hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, the eldest young master of the Liu family was obviously still a little doubtful.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Zhu Zanxun nodded slightly, "Of course it's true."
Then Zhu Zanxun only said to the eldest young master of the Liu family, "Young master, I have something to explain to my brother. Can you avoid it?"
Considering that he had come with him now, the eldest young master of the Liu family was not afraid that Zhu Chengzhi would not go back with him, so he only said, "Okay, since you told me so, I will do what you said." .”
As the words fell, the eldest young master of the Liu family went directly to another place.
When only the two brothers were left in the inner room.
Zhu Zanxun just took the initiative and said, "Chengzhi, I heard from Uncle Sun that you were quite obedient during your time in the Liu family."
Upon hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, Zhu Chengzhi couldn't help but sneered, "Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it. Why do you have to pretend in front of me now?"
Upon hearing Zhu Chengzhi's attitude, the boy beside Zhu Zanxun couldn't help but reprimanded him, "Third Young Master, why do you have such an attitude towards the Eldest Young Master?"
When Zhu Chengzhi heard this, he immediately said, "I have always had this attitude towards people. What other attitude do you want?"
Then he just turned to look at Zhu Zanxun and said, "If you can't understand my attitude, then don't ask me to come over."
Zhu Zanxun only whispered, "That's all. In fact, this is also the last time I see you. I came here this time to change your household registration to one person's household registration. I also changed your surname. When the Liu family grows up, After the young master decides to let you go, don't go back to Zhu's Mansion, I will arrange for Chun'an to send you somewhere else!"
Hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, Zhu Chengzhi was completely stunned.
What is this arrangement? This is really to cut yourself off from Zhu Mansion.
Although he had said this before, it was just verbal words.
But now these words seem to have become a real fact.
He really wanted to drive himself out of the Zhu family.
If it was before, he might have done it out of anger. After the other party said such words, he would just leave! Who cares about the surname Zhu?
However, the second brother has learned from the past.
He couldn't help but said angrily, "Why do you change my surname? My surname is Zhu, not anything else! And Yunzhou Zhu Mansion is my home, and my father didn't even say to drive me away! Why do you drive me away!"
I didn't expect Zhu Chengzhi to be so difficult to deal with.
Zhu Zanxun just said arbitrarily, "Why do you ask me? Just because I am your eldest brother! People say that an elder brother is like a father! Why can't I be your master!"
"Then have you asked my father what he meant?" Zhu Chengzhi said tit for tat.
Faced with Zhu Chengzhi's tit-for-tat confrontation, Zhu Zanxun simply said, "That's natural."
However, his affirmation could not convince Zhu Chengzhi at all. Zhu Chengzhi immediately said, "You are simply lying! My father has not come back until now. You said that my father will drive me away too! Where did you get this information!"
After hearing Zhu Chengzhi's question, Zhu Zanxun stopped saying anything.
He did not ask his father what he meant.
Because it is useless to ask his father what he means now, because his father will arrive in the capital soon.
Whether his father falls into the hands of Lu Zhizhang or stays in the hands of King Jin, there will actually be no good end.
As for the Zhu family, the nest was overturned and there were no eggs left.
So the only thing he could do was to send all relevant personnel away before that.
And these people naturally include his good brother.
However, he couldn't say this to Zhu Chengzhi, so after Zhu Chengzhi's words fell, he fell into a kind of silence, and his silence became a symbol of a guilty conscience in Zhu Chengzhi's eyes.
"Are you feeling guilty?" Zhu Chengzhi said excitedly, "I knew you were feeling guilty. Did you kill my second brother?"
Zhu Zanxun was a little surprised when he heard Zhu Chengzhi's accusation. After a while, he said to Zhu Chengzhi, "Who did you hear this from?"
Zhu Chengzhi obviously refused to communicate with Zhu Zanxun. He just expressed his emotions angrily, "Who else should I listen to? Now the eldest brother says that you killed the second brother! If not, that day Why didn’t the fire burn in other yards, but it burned down the second brother’s yard?”
"If that's not the case, why didn't there be a fire that day? But the fire suddenly became louder after you went there. The quarrel between you and the second brother didn't happen in a day or two. The second brother died in such a strange way, If they don't suspect who do you suspect?" Zhu Chengzhi just asked in an excited tone.
However, compared to Zhu Chengzhi, Zhu Zanxun seemed much calmer.
"Chengzhi, so you also think that I killed your second brother?"
Hearing that Zhu Zanxun seemed to want to clear his name, Zhu Chengzhi couldn't help but look at Zhu Zanxun with hatred.
Zhu Zanxun said word by word, "Who else could it be if it wasn't you?"
"It can be someone else if it's not me! But if you suspect me, that's fine. As long as you provide evidence, you can sue me. I'm waiting for you to sue me!"
Zhu Chengzhi glared at Zhu Zanxun angrily and said, "Don't worry, I will produce evidence to prove all this!"
