Chapter 238 The City of Sea and Sky (7)

"This..." The old man looked at Zhu Zhu in surprise. Although he tried his best to hide some details, Zhu Zhu seemed to have smelled some clues. "Although Tu Lao Er was domineering, he must have been afraid of being involved in the prison lawsuit. He must have thought that no one could stand the humiliation and torture in the end, and he would have to die." Zhu Zhu laughed, "Your opinion is indeed unique, but in my opinion there should be another hidden truth. This matter was a bit strange from the beginning. Since the Tu brothers came back after learning a lot of skills, they naturally thought that they could get back if they could take revenge. If they really wanted to avenge their father, how could the news spread? The only possibility is that they were not sure of winning, and they did not want to be defeated with the Zhang brothers, and both sides were injured. So they deliberately spread the news and used this to scare Zhang Da away."

Zhu Zhu suddenly looked at the old man, his eyes became extremely cold, and he said, "If I guessed correctly, Zhang Da should have killed Old Man Tu back then." "The old man was captured by Zhu Zhu's momentum and couldn't help but nodded, "Yes! Zhang Da was indeed Zhang Da who killed Old Man Tu back then." Zhu Zhu seemed to have expected that the old man would answer like this, and said without pause: "They knew that although Zhang Da was idle but worldly, he would go out to avoid the limelight after hearing this news. And things were indeed as they expected, Zhang San escaped overnight, leaving Zhang Er and Zhang San to temporarily take charge of the dock business. So they found out the news, and Cheng Zhang San did not suddenly take action that day, injured Zhang Er, and took the opportunity to seize the dock land deed, robbed all the business."

The old man was surprised and said, "You...how did you know so clearly?" At this time, Dongfang Yue and You Ruomeng were also very surprised, unable to think of how Zhu Zhu knew. Zhu Zhu looked at the Zhang family's house and said, "Actually, the Tu brothers had decided to get the business from the hands of the Zhang brothers from the beginning. It was just an excuse to avenge their father!" Dongfang Yueqi said, "Why did the younger brother say this?"

Zhu Zhu smiled indifferently, "When Zhang Da killed old man Tu, he relied on gold and silver to bribe the government, so he would be at peace. Instead, his business became bigger and bigger. The Tu brothers knew the benefits and interests of the disaster, so they first seized the dock and relied on the money they obtained from the business, and then they threatened and humiliated the Zhang brothers and retaliated against them. Even if the Zhang family sued the government, it would be useless. Therefore, all the people in the Zhang family would endure all kinds of humiliation and survive to this point."

The old man was just trying to find a way to escape, but when he heard what Zhu Zhu said, he was shocked and sweated. His words were not the same as the facts, and it seemed as if he had seen it with his own eyes. I guess his scheming could not escape Zhu Zhu's wise eyes.

"After gaining a foothold in the fishing village, the Tu brothers kept tortured Zhang Er and Zhang San. This move was intended to vent their hatred. The more important thing was to force Zhang Da to come back, and he wanted to take the opportunity to kill all the Zhang family to eliminate future troubles. However, Zhang Da was afraid to show up for a long time. They had to torture Zhang Er and Zhang San in every way, and even Zhang San's wife did not let go... In fact, the Tu brothers had wanted to give up, but another thing scared them, which made them torture Zhang Er and Zhang San even more severely, and even smashed Zhang family things like robbers. All of this seemed to be because of the hatred back then, but there was actually a shocking secret hidden behind it."

Zhu Zhu's expression became heavier and his eyebrows almost got together. Dongfang Yue and You Ruomeng were a little immersed in hearing this, but they didn't know that Zhu Zhu had stopped. The old man's eyes were filled with fear, as if he saw a poisonous snake approaching. He quietly retreated, trying to escape from the place of trouble, but he didn't want to hit You Ruomeng. She shouted, "Brother-in-law, where are you going?" The old man seemed extremely panicked and waved his hand and said, "No... I haven't gone anywhere."

Zhu Zhu glanced at him lightly, but continued as if nothing had happened: "The Tu brothers have always coveted an extremely important thing in the Zhang family. That thing must be more important than those dock businesses, and their lives, so in the face of the Tu brothers' humiliation, the Zhang brothers have never reported to the official."

Zhu Zhu suddenly sighed, "The Tu brothers said they were revenge but were actually looking for that thing. When they were looking for nothing, they put their hearts on Zhang San's wife, wanting to marry Zhang San's wife and then learn the news from her. But they never thought that Zhang San and his wife were deeply in love, and they would never leave him even if they were raped."

Zhu Zhu suddenly turned to look at the old man, his eyes filled with silence and coldness as if it was thousands of years of ice. The old man felt a deep chill in his heart, which made him breathless. "Now Tu Lao Er and Zhang Er both died of misfortune, only Zhang San's wife orphans and widows left, you feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. You have to take advantage of the fishing and use the help of the soldiers guarding the city to secretly snatch that thing, right?"

The old man was extremely scared and looked at Zhu Zhu in panic, "How did you know these...? I... I don't know anything." Before he finished speaking, the old man suddenly turned around and ran towards a house next to him.

Dongfang Yue was stunned and shouted, "Where are you running?" The house was next to the Zhang family's house, only more than ten meters away. The old man suddenly pushed open the door like he was running for his life, and in the blink of an eye he got into the room. Dongfang Yue was about to break into the door, but Zhu Zhu reached out and stopped him, "He is just an ordinary person, just ask him slowly."

Then he stood under the window and said to it: "Although you have the intention to steal, you have no intention of killing people and robbing people. If you go to find the soldiers guarding the city, Zhang San's wife, let us leave it, we will not pursue it. Otherwise, you will be like the willow trees in the courtyard." The old man was hiding in the window and looking quietly. Zhu Zhu waved his hand. A bowl-thick willow tree in the courtyard suddenly broke into two pieces. At this time, he found that he was holding a silver-white sword in his hand. He was immediately frightened and asked in a trembling voice: "You... are you talking about it true?"

Zhu Zhu said loudly, "Of course it's true!" The old man shrank and came out of the room, but behind him was more than ten men and women, like a wealthy family. More than ten people knelt down in front of Zhu Zhu and the other two, looking panicked, and the women were crying in a low voice. The old man said, "I'm just confused for a moment, and I hope the knights can spare my whole family's life."

Zhu Zhu said: "As long as you let Zhang San's wife orphan and widow go, you will not have any worries about your life." The old man was nervous but hesitated for a while, and the old, weak, women and children cried in fear. Dongfang Yue couldn't bear it and said, "You go back to the house! We will never harm you." The old and young people gradually settled down and thanked him and returned to the room.

Not long after, Zhu Zhu and the other two rushed out of the fishing village and headed towards the dock. Just now, it was to make the old man mistakenly think that the whole family was in their hands and he was worried and dared not do anything randomly. In fact, he asked the old man to lead the way to find the place where Zhang San’s wife and son were located and rescued them.

The old man walked along the beach road toward a building facing the sea. There was a row of blue three-story wooden buildings. The red-lacquered gallery columns were more conspicuous against the black walls. In front of them, facing the white sand beach. From the wooden buildings, you can see the magnificent sea surface of the East Rift Sea from the wooden buildings.

Zhu Zhu and the other two pretended to be tourists traveling by the beach, walking slowly on the beach, but their eyes were always on the old man. The old man finally stopped outside the third small building, stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker several rhythmically. Then he saw a soldier wearing iron armor coming out. The two whispered a few words, and then entered the wooden building together. Youruomeng asked: "Brother Zhu, will Zhang San's wife and the mother and son be in that wooden building?" Zhu Zhu frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "It's hard to say!"

As he was talking, he saw the old man stumble out of the wooden building and vaguely heard the sergeant cursing: "You old man is ignorant, you will even be sent to prison." The old man knelt down there and begged: "Sir, every word I say is true. That piece of gold was given by an outside star pattern scholar, and it has nothing to do with Zhang San's wife and mother."
