Chapter 387: In the Zhu family, it’s enough if one person dies of stupidity!
Seeing Zhu Heng was furious, the housekeeper had no other choice but to tell him the whole story of how the two young masters had gone to the Precious Medicine Pavilion to cause trouble the day before.
……
"Five hundred and fifty thousand taels?!"
Zhu Heng's eyes went dark and he almost suffocated. Seeing this, the housekeeper hurried forward to support him.
"These two bastards! Idiots!"
Such a big trap, can't they see it?
He is the great Zhu Heng, the Prime Minister, but how come all his children are idiots! !
"Don't they know who Liu Yi belongs to? Liu Yi's uncle is from the Ninth Prince's faction! Don't these two idiots think about their purpose for spreading this news?"
"He was just tricked this morning, and in the afternoon he learned the secret of the Fourth Prince's hidden treasure. And when someone instigated him, he went and stole it?"
"Haha, who would have thought that the sons of my great Zhu Heng are actually two thieves!!"
A mournful roar made the housekeeper feel uncomfortable and comforted him, "The eldest and second young masters were also set up!"
After all, even if the Zhu family was demolished, there would still be no 550,000 taels of silver!
Yesterday's incident was clearly someone deliberately instigating the two young masters to cause trouble! The eldest young master also said that they were framed by the Fourth Prince and the Princess, and that's why they committed such a theft in a fit of rage!
"A plot?" Zhu Heng pushed him away, filled with resentment. "Being plotted against once can be considered ignorant, but being plotted against repeatedly is stupidity! Absolutely stupid!!"
He rushed to Zhu Yao's room despite the housekeeper's obstruction, but the moment he entered the room, he saw Zhu Yao wrapped in gauze, with his calves and arms clamped in fixation plates. It looked like his hands and legs were broken, and his face was covered with redness, swelling and bruises.
That look is really miserable.
"father……"
Zhu Yao couldn't move. Seeing his father's purple face, he felt extremely regretful.
He already knew about the siege of Zhu Mansion. He never imagined that he would be so thoroughly tricked this time!
Even now, he still hasn't figured out how he got to this point!
Zhu Heng came here angrily, but seeing his expression, he swallowed back the curse that was about to come out of his mouth.
After all, he was his own son. He felt bad and looked even worse when he was beaten like this!
He said gloomily, "Who beat you like this?"
Zhu Yao shook his head. He didn't know either. Just after he met up with his second brother on East Street, he was ambushed and knocked unconscious by a stick.
After waking up, he was sent to Zhu's house. The stolen things were gone, and he and his second brother had their hands and feet broken.
Zhu Heng was even more furious after hearing this, "Don't you even have a single suspect?!"
Zhu Yao pondered for a moment, then said with a gloomy face, "It could be the Ninth Prince..."
After all, it was he who told him that there were valuable treasures hidden in the Fourth Prince's villa.
Zhu Heng also guessed this, but there was always something he couldn't understand.
However, Baili Moyan's current behavior really has no logic at all, he is just like a mad dog!
He is the Grand Tutor and holds the highest official rank, but his son is repeatedly framed!
Do you really think he's a vegetarian?!
He asked the servant to bring a stool, sat outside his bed, and said with a gloomy face, "Tell me everything that happened yesterday, word for word!"
Zhu Yao's eyes were filled with shame, and he finally told everyone the news he had received, as well as how he had smashed up the precious medicine pavilion and stolen the treasure house.
……
"Dad, I'm sorry. When I heard the woman who killed Zifeng appeared, I couldn't control myself at all..."
After hearing this, Zhu Heng was filled with rage. He had fallen for such a simple trick of instigation!
"Normally, you are the calmest boss. Dad has always been at ease with you and trusts you very much. But Zhu Yao, this time, you really disappointed your father!"
"Did Zhu Zifeng completely panic you?"
"She's dead! Died because of her stupidity!"
"It's enough for one person in the Zhu family to die of stupidity!" He didn't want all the children in the Zhu family to die of stupidity! Otherwise, it would be a failure for him as a father!
Zhu Yao looked at his father's cold face and couldn't accept it. "Dad, that's Xiao Feng! She's the apple of your eye! How could you say such a cold thing?"
So cold that he almost didn't recognize her.
"indifferent?"
Zhu Heng smiled coldly, and even a hint of hatred appeared in his eyes.
"I, Zhu Heng, hold the highest rank as Grand Tutor. I don't form cliques, seek personal gain, accept bribes, or engage in fraud! I've worked diligently for decades to earn a great reputation! Yet, as my daughter, she doesn't keep herself clean, and instead covets what doesn't belong to her!"
"I won't talk about her and the Ninth Prince anymore. If she can really succeed, as her father, I will definitely help her!"
"But what did she do?"
"To get that position, she chose the stupidest method!"
"Princess Zhaoming, who the hell is she? Your foolish sister actually thought of using Zhaoming to gain the position of Princess Nanyu! This plan is the most stupid of stupidities!"
Zhu Yao wanted to say, isn't it because you, father, are unwilling to help that she places her hopes on the eldest princess?
After all, it’s his daughter’s future, which is not as important as his nobleness!
Zhu Heng didn't notice his thoughts and continued, "She clearly didn't have to go to Beisha City, but she went there to show her loyalty to Baili Moyan, despite my objections!"
"What's the end?"
"In order to strike down Prince Li, they devised a sinister plot, not only murdering civilians, but also widely publicized Prince Li's scandals at the peace talks between the two countries, and even instigated Nangong Zhen's daughter to murder the royal heir!!"
"She prides herself on being clever and committing all sorts of evil deeds. Has she ever considered what kind of fate she will face once the truth is revealed?"
"Nangong Xiyun, her father is Prince Li's uncle! Who is Zhu Zifeng? Who would risk everything to save her life?!"
Zhu Heng's tone was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and his words were cold and ruthless, but if you listened carefully, you would find that there was actually a hint of sadness in his voice.
Zhu Yao's attention was only on those unpleasant words, and he didn't notice Zhu Heng's hidden emotions at all.
He looked at his father disappointedly and asked in confusion, "Dad, Xiaofeng is your daughter after all. How can you say these words so coldly and calmly?"
"She was just confused for a moment. If we weren't with her, she wouldn't have made such a big mistake!"
Zhu Heng looked at him and sneered, "A moment of confusion? Can she kill someone just because she's confused?"
"When you spoke for her, did you ever think about the people who died?"
Zhu Yao subconsciously wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't find the right words.
"The Emperor suppressed this matter and announced to the public that she died of a sudden illness. This is already a great favor to the Zhu family! And yet you are still not satisfied and are still thinking of revenge?"
"It's because of your foolish ideas that the Zhu family has reached this point!"
And all the good reputation he had painstakingly built up over decades was lost in one day!
Fourth Brother, Zhaoming, they are forcing him!
Force him to take sides!
In that case, great!
Come on then!
Zhu Heng has come this far from being a 16th-rank official, so how could he not have any means?
Since you want to destroy him, then no one should live!
"Dad, where are you going?"
Zhu Yao looked at the back of the person who left angrily, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold.
He always felt that things were going to change for the Zhu family from now on!
