The word "godfather" made Zhu Cheng's shoulders tense up.
He looked at Xu Jian in disbelief.
Where did the news leak out?
The other one who was speechless was Shan Shen.
He asked Li Yuanfa to leave Shuntian Mansion, but he really had no news at all.
He doesn’t know a thing about godfather!
However, just by looking at Zhu Cheng's expression, Shan Shen knew that Duke Fu Guo was asking a crucial question.
I don't know where to go. After all, Shan Shen has been an official for many years and often handles various cases. There is no clue about it on his face.
He sat up straight and took a sip of hot tea, looking calm and understanding.
This posture was obviously bluffing Zhu Cheng, especially Xu Jian's calm and calm look of having everything under control, which made Zhu Cheng more and more convinced that the identity of his "godfather" had been exposed.
Thinking again of what Xu Jian just said...
Could it be that the woman really sold him?
wrong.
If she sold him, she wouldn't be able to run away, so she wouldn't be so stupid.
His wavering and hesitation did not escape the eyes of Shan Shen and Xu Jian.
Shan Shen coughed lightly and signaled Xu Jian to keep up his efforts and give Zhu Cheng some strong medicine.
Xu Jian smiled and said, "It's enough for your outsider to have a godfather. You have a biological father who has been granted the title of British Duke. How can you find it fun to have a chamberlain as your godfather?
Don't tell me that he's not your godfather. You and his goddaughter live together, so half a son has to call him daddy, right?
Does the British father know that you have found such an in-law for him? "
Zhu Cheng took a deep breath and asked: "Which law says that a chamberlain cannot take in a goddaughter? And which law says that I cannot take in a chamberlain's goddaughter?"
"That's not the case," Xu Jian was not affected by Zhu Cheng's attitude. "If the chamberlain didn't watch the gold bricks being buried with his own eyes, and you didn't dig up the gold bricks, then it doesn't matter if you provide him with a pension until the end of his life."
Zhu Cheng:......
Previously, Shan Shen was in the vanguard and Xu Jian was in the rear. The two of them had so much trouble with Zhu Cheng that Zhu Cheng's mood was no longer as peaceful as it was at the beginning.
His position has been disrupted by waves of attacks.
Xu Jian was very aware of Zhu Cheng's situation, and also knew that he could achieve more results by pointing directly to the center than by showing his cards right from the start.
"Are you thinking that since BRIC has become a banned book, even if I sneak your godfather into the Yamen, the crime will not be serious enough?" Xu Jian asked, "It's only been more than ten years, but his old face is still in the palace. There is always someone who recognizes it.
Whose gold bricks did he bury? Do you think the Holy Spirit doesn't care?
With such a person involved, the British father no longer thinks about protecting his son. He has to think about how to protect his own head and that of the rest of his family first. "
Zhu Cheng even forgot to breathe.
It wasn't until he was suffocated that he took a few deep breaths.
Why?
Even if Xu Jian knew his "godfather", why would he still know his identity, the ownership of the gold brick, and his highness...
This is impossible!
No, now is not the time to surrender.
The gold bricks are gone. No matter whether they were mined by someone a few years ago or by Gao An, they are gone.
Without BRIC, everything is just "guessing" and lacks evidence.
Just as he secretly told himself over and over to hold on still, Zhu Cheng saw Xu Jian stand up.
Unhurriedly, Xu Jian walked up to Zhu Cheng. Then, he bent down and kept his voice extremely low so that Shan Shen and Master could not hear him.
"Your Majesty's illness is very strange, and the recipe for death is also very strange," Xu Jian said, "If I am not mistaken, Your Majesty's wife will fall ill. Does it have something to do with your godfather?
Since he has a prescription in his hand, do you think he has never used this prescription on others before Madam?
Let me give you a heads up, Your Highness Prince Ding.
The Queen Mother has decided to give the king a son. Do you think she will let you and the British government go? "
Zhu Cheng's head seemed to be filled with lightning, and it exploded.
how come?
The waiter clearly said that this recipe was reliable, safe, and would never go wrong, so why did he show his flaws?
Moreover, His Highness Prince Ding?
Did that person who had no descendants ever use this method to attack King Ding?
How dare he? !
After Xu Jian said this, he slowly walked out of the room, ignoring Zhu Cheng's extremely exciting and ashen expression.
Zhu Cheng will definitely remain tight-lipped about the BRIC matter.
Once he confessed, he would be related to Li Mi.
Even if he bit him to death because he was jealous of money, just wanted to squander the money, and had no dealings with Li Mi, he would still have to walk around without food.
In order to protect himself, he would most likely push the Queen out and describe himself as a fool who was deceived by women, which was better than losing his head because of his involvement with the deposed prince.
But Xu Jian couldn't let Zhu Cheng escape.
Whether it was the chamberlain or Li Mi, he had to dig three feet into the ground to dig out the person.
Fortunately, Lin Yunyan gained a lot from there and gave him new information.
Compared with the "missing" gold bricks, the seriously ill Mrs. Zhu Si is living evidence.
In the side room, Shan Shen also got up.
He said to Zhu Cheng with a cold face: "Don't underestimate the yamen's work. Now you can say that you are more decent. When the British public is in a state of distress, will you still have this dignity?
When do you figure it out, when do you say it.
Think slowly, I'm not in a hurry. "
After saying that, Shan Shen also walked out.
Out of Zhu Cheng's sight, Master Shan's anxiety quickly crawled onto his face.
"My lord," he asked Xu Jian, "who is the servant? Is this case so deeply involved?"
"Don't we have to wait for Zhu Cheng to tell who it is?" Xu Jian said, "You can also ask the outer room."
The answer is the same as what was said and what was not said.
Shan Shen was not very satisfied, but when he thought about how Duke Fu came to Shuntian Mansion...
It dawned on him.
He moved the reinforcements in front of him, but there was such a Bodhisattva in his back. It wasn't just that he moved it carefully, but that the Holy One had prepared it from the beginning, right?
Perhaps, the clues behind the case have already been seen by the Holy One.
Tsk!
The British government seemed to be in serious trouble.
"Then what did you whisper to him later?" Shan Shen asked again.
Xu Jian didn't answer, only gave him a meaningful look.
Shan Shen pursed his lips.
This is a big deal.
It was definitely not something he could ask at will.
Using his fingers as a needle, he sewed the lip shut.
Xu Jian was happy for a moment and said, "I was the one who overstepped my authority and said a lot just now. Master Shan, please don't blame me."
"Alas," Shan Shen waved his hand, "I signaled you to push him tighter. You found an excellent opportunity."
Xu Jian said: "Being polite and being kind are also my strengths."
Shan Shen touched the tip of his nose. These words were very familiar. He had just said them today.
Thinking of this, Shan Shen was also a little happy.
"Let's ask in the outer room."
It was much easier to interrogate Madam Wang than Zhu Cheng.
Especially, after she thought Zhu Cheng had betrayed her.
"The gold brick was not found, the banned book was not buried by him, and the person was not killed intentionally."
"He is the son of a British duke. There is still a way to survive."
"He said he was motivated by money and didn't know anything else."
"It was your idea to dump the body. He had never harmed anyone. He was so panicked that he didn't know what to do. Whatever you say is what he said."
Madam Wang suddenly raised her head and said sharply: "He has never harmed anyone? Then who harmed his wife?
He hasn't harmed anyone? Hahahaha what a big joke!
Oh, being knocked down by a poisonous fan is indeed different from pushing someone to death with a slap!
That shit is useless! "
Xu Jian, who was sitting on the big chair with her arms folded, nodded with satisfaction.
This lady Wang will say anything when she is angry.
It's definitely more useful than that piece of shit.
Thanks to book friends Yuan Qi Ziheng and Xu Bicheng’s official girlfriend for the reward
