Chapter 88: More useful than that piece of shit
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 vital question.
I don’t know who I am, but after all, Shan Shen has been an official for many years and often handles various cases, so there will definitely be no clues on his face.
He sat upright and took a sip of hot tea, with a calm and understanding attitude.
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.
She wouldn't be so stupid if she sold him.
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 the good work 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 Duke of England. What fun is it for you 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 be called 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 none of it," 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, and Zhu Cheng's mood was no longer as peaceful as it was at first.
His position has been disrupted by wave after wave of attacks.
Xu Jian is very aware of Zhu Cheng's situation, and also knows that by pointing directly to the center now, he can achieve more results 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.
Until he felt suffocated, 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 a few years ago or were mined by Gao'an, they are simply gone.
Without BRIC, everything is "guessing" and lacks empirical evidence.
Just as he was secretly telling himself over and over to hold on still, Zhu Cheng saw Xu Jian stand up.
Xu Jian walked up to Zhu Cheng without haste. Then, he bent down and kept his voice extremely low so that Shan Shen and Master could not hear him.
"My lady is very sick, and the way to die is also very strange," Xu Jian said, "If I am not wrong, my lady 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 not used this prescription on others before Madam?
Let me give you a heads up, Your Highness King 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 have been filled with lightning, and it exploded.
how come?
The chamberlain clearly said that this recipe was reliable, safe, and would never go wrong, so why did he reveal his flaws?
Furthermore, His Highness King Ding?
That thing that cut off his descendants, did he 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 brilliant and ashen expression.
Zhu Cheng will definitely remain tight-lipped about the BRIC matter.
Once he confesses, it will be related to Li Mi. Even if he bites him to death because he is jealous of money and just wants to squander it, and has no dealings with Li Mi, he will still be unable to eat and walk around.
In order to protect himself, he will most likely push the Queen out and describe himself as a fool who was deceived by women, which is 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 news.
Compared to the "missing" gold bricks, the seriously ill Mrs. Zhu is living proof.
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 you have figured it out, when do you say it?
Think slowly, I'm not in a hurry. "
After saying that, Shan Shen also walked out.
Leaving Zhu Cheng's sight, Mr. Shan's anxiety quickly crawled onto his face.
"Master," he asked Xu Jian, "who is the chamberlain? Is this case so deeply involved?"
"Can't we wait for Zhu Cheng to tell us who it is?" Xu Jian said, "You can also ask the outer room."
This answer is the same as whether it is said or not.
Shan Shen was not very satisfied, but when he thought about how Duke Fu came to Shuntian Mansion...
He suddenly understood.
He was moving reinforcements on his front foot, but there was such a Bodhisattva on his back foot. It wasn't just that he moved it carefully, but that the Holy Spirit 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 seems to be in serious trouble.
“Then what did you whisper to him later?” Shan Shen asked again.
Xu Jian did not answer, but gave him a meaningful look.
Shan Shen pursed his lips.
This is a big matter.
It is definitely not something he can ask at will.
With his fingers as a needle, he sewed up his mouth.
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 press him harder, and you found an excellent opportunity.”
Xu Jian said: "Being polite and polite are also my advantages."
Shan Shen touched the tip of his nose. These words were very familiar. He had just said them today.
Thinking about it this way, Shan Shen was also a little happy.
“Let’s go to the outer room and ask.”
It is 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 an English duke. There is still a way to survive.”
“He said he was motivated by money and knew nothing 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?"
Has he never harmed anyone? Hahahaha what a big joke!
Oh, the poisonous powder knocking down is really different from pushing someone to death with a slap!
That **** is useless! "
Xu Jian, who was sitting on the big chair with her hands folded across her chest, nodded with satisfaction.
This queen will say anything when she is angry.
It’s indeed more useful than that piece of shit.
