Chapter 738: Second Brother, Listen to Me
When you enter the main hall, you will find a luxurious marble floor.
The servant brought mellow tea and snacks, and then retreated. After a long time, I didn't expect that Master Cao still didn't appear.
Just when Zheng Puxi was waiting impatiently, the butler Gongsun, who had appeared in the yamen before, stepped in from outside and bowed in return, "It's not a coincidence, the master has a deal, and he has to go to the appointment, and he has already left the house first." Adults have something, please advise. ”
I didn't expect to wait for a long time, but I couldn't see Master Cao.
"It's okay to bring Master Cao up." Zheng Puxi said coldly, sitting in the chair with a straight body, driving coldly and solemnly.
Jun Zilin didn't forget to look at the second brother secretly, and sighed in her heart for a while, but she didn't expect that the second brother, who has always been chic and active, would also have such a steady and old age, just like two people. But such a second brother really doesn't dare to beg for cheapness with him.
Her eyes flashed, and she was about to retract her gaze, but coldly met Zheng Puxi's suddenly slanted gaze, the eyes of the two met, Jun Zilin didn't have time to retract, and saw Zheng Puxi's eyes softened for a moment, showing a faint smile and comfort to her.
- Still from the second brother.
Seeing this, Jun Zilin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The housekeeper of Gongsun coughed lightly, and did not intend to hand over anyone, only saying that the eldest prince was unwell and could not come out to meet people.
Then Jun Zilin saw the second brother take out a piece of rice paper from his waist, unfold it, and throw it on the table, so that the housekeeper could see it, "Do you recognize this thing?" ”
Butler Gongsun lifted his old eyelids and glanced at the table. Jun Zilin also took advantage of the situation to sweep her eyes, and suddenly froze, isn't this the jade pendant in her dream!
Semi-circular moon shaped, inlaid with gold obsidian jade pendant.
Cold white jade does not exist alone in the world, it is generally attached to stones or jade ornaments, and the amount is not much.
The dream that Jun Zilin had before was just thinking about it day and night, and the situation in the dream was chaotic. Fortunately, she refined this jade pendant and found that there was a small amount of cold white jade in it, which could be used as medicine.
But I didn't expect my brother to look for this jade pendant? He wouldn't be looking for Han Baiyu to use medicine, right?
"This is the jade pendant that the eldest prince wears closely." Steward Gongsun lowered his eyelids and said without humility or arrogance.
He didn't tell a lie, Jun Zilin had seen Cao Pengyi bring this jade pendant in Chunfeng Tower before.
"Since the eldest prince Cao is unwell, you will bring this jade pendant on behalf of the official. If you can't do it, don't blame the official for picking it up in person! Zheng Puxi said in a solemn voice.
Steward Gongsun was not afraid of his intimidation at all, but said, "I don't dare to disobey my lord, but this jade pendant is my eldest son's personal belongings." Although the adults are local parents, they can't take it by force, what do you want, these little people below will give it away, right? ”
When Zheng Puxi heard this, his face turned ugly for a while.
This butler and his master breathe out of one nostril, and even the level of pitiful appearance.
"This official is here to make it clear!" Zheng Puxi took a deep breath and said in a calm tone: "Before Ruan Yu'er died three years ago, she was holding this jade pendant in her hand!" The official wants to take the jade pendant away, or even take the eldest prince Cao away, you can do it. ”
The butler of Gongsun was like a piece of wood, but after hearing this, he replied in extremely clear words, "In this case, the villain has to go and ask the eldest son, please wait." ”
As soon as he left, Jun Zilin asked, "Brother, is this jade pendant really in Ruan Yu'er's hand before she died?" ”
According to Ruan Tan'er and Yuan Xiucai, that's exactly what happened. Zheng Puxi stood up, stood with his hands in his hands, and stared at the Huawu mansion, "In the case of Yuan Xiucai, Ruan Yu'er died too strangely, so we retry this case." ”
As he spoke, Jun Zilin's heart was already thinking quickly.
Yesterday, when she went to Lin Mansion, Mrs. Lin deliberately revealed the matter of the female gentleman, and also mentioned the name "Ruan Yuer" at the moment;
Now Jun Zilin has bumped into this name even if she doesn't check it.
Moreover, Ruan Yuer and the female gentleman in Lin Mansion are all related to the Yuan Xiucai case.
So what is the role of Zhonglin Mansion?
People's psychology is always like this, more is better than less. Especially a family like Lin Fu, coupled with the nature of a businessman to drive profits. Matters that are not in their own business, and have nothing to do with their own interests, how can they do so much, let alone be so enthusiastic about helping each other. Especially Mrs. Lin, with this person's character, she would not do such a thing.
This case of Yuan Xiucai is a bit complicated.
"Second Brother ......"
Jun Zilin wanted to say something, but Zheng Puxi raised his hand to stop her and motioned her not to speak.
At this time, I saw the butler Gongsun enter from outside, holding the semi-moon-shaped obsidian jade pendant in his hand, and presented it to the front and said, "My lord Mingjian." The eldest son of my family is very distressed by Ruan Yu'er's death, but the sacrifice of the jade pendant is only to help the adult solve the case, not to admit anything, please don't wronged the good person. ”
Zheng Puxi took the jade pendant, chuckled and glanced at the housekeeper Gongsun, and said coldly, "This official will handle it impartially, but since there is no ghost in his heart, why do you say this?" Okay, this official won't bother much, farewell! ”
After coming out of Cao's Mansion, Zheng Puxi walked back to the Yamen, glanced at Jun Zilin, and instead ordered his entourage to follow from a distance, not so close.
He changed his previous coldness and looked at her with a smile, "Sister, did you frighten you?" Brother, if I am in my place, if I am as giggling as before, I will not be able to serve the people, so you should not be afraid. ”
The big palm touched Jun Zilin's hair and rubbed it.
"I naturally know your troubles, second brother, but can you let me see the jade pendant?" Jun Zilin smiled at him and said in a normal tone.
Zheng Puxi put away the jade pendant instead, and looked at his sister with sharp eyes, "You have been looking at this jade pendant from time to time, I guess you came to Cao Mansion for this jade pendant, why?" Could it be the case of Yuan Xiucai—"
'Second brother, you're thinking too far! ’
Jun Zilin tilted her head and vetoed his words, "Although I often do autopsies or something, but since I came to Lingzhou, I have never paid attention to such a thing. The reason why I want this jade pendant is entirely because ......"
'Lin Mansion? Zheng Puxi replied on her behalf, with a displeased face, "You healed that little boy Lin, didn't you?" Before, a servant saw you enter and leave the Lin Mansion, and you became more and more reluctant to listen to your brother, didn't you? ”
"Second brother, listen to me."
"Needless to say. Anyway, when you grow up, you have your own opinions, and you don't have to obey me in everything. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Zheng Puxi waved his hand, not wanting to argue with his sister.
"If I talk about Yuan Xiucai's case, can you allow me to speak?" Jun Zilin stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Puxi's sleeve, pretending to look at the brother in front of her pitifully, and asked weakly.
"I just hope you don't talk about him under the guise of the original Xiucai case." Zheng Puxi smiled and stroked his sister's delicate little face, her pitiful appearance really made him can't bear to blame her.
