Chapter 73
Zhu Zixin said, pointing to the guard who was pressing down on the snake trainer.

"You are……"

Only then did Zhu Jing notice the guard and asked.

"Oh, back to Lord Hou, this subordinate is from His Highness the Crown Prince. Originally, the Crown Prince had an urgent business to discuss with Lord Hou, so he sent his subordinates to deliver the letter, but as soon as he arrived outside the wall of the Hou's Mansion, he heard the eldest lady shouting. The voice of help, so, regardless of etiquette, turned over into the courtyard wall of the Hou Mansion, and rescued the young lady."

"..."

After the guard finished speaking, three black lines flashed across Zhu Jing's forehead. The reason was too far-fetched. He deliberately tried to test it, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Where's the secret letter?"

When he asked such a question, Zhu Zixin couldn't help becoming nervous. She knew that the prince came in a hurry. How could he come up with a secret letter in such a short time?However, this matter is of great importance, she must not reveal the truth, otherwise, even the poisonous snake incident will be unclear.Therefore, Zhu Zixin hurriedly said: "Father, someone is going to murder your daughter. You don't investigate the case first, but you just want to do what you want. It won't be too late to ask for a secret letter after you're done with this matter!"

After hearing her words, Zhu Jing just glanced at her, his cold eyes made Zhu Zixin flinch involuntarily.

Then, Zhu Jing said to the guard again, "Where's the secret letter?"

"Oh."

Unexpectedly, the guard did not panic, but reached out and took out a letter from his bosom, and handed it to Zhu Jing respectfully.

This time, Zhu Jing was stunned. He was holding the letter in his hand, because he couldn't read it clearly at night. Therefore, after reading it several times, he put the letter in his arms. Then he looked at the snake trainer and asked, "Say, why did you attack the eldest lady? Who sent you here?"

The snake trainer looked up at the sky, gave Zhu Jing a blank look, and didn't speak.

At this time, the two sisters Zhu Zichan and Zhu Ziqi had also arrived. Standing behind Zhu Jing, when Zhu Ziqi saw Zhu Zixin, his eyes darkened for a moment. Immediately, his eyes became vicious again, as if he wanted to kill Zhu Zixin. She was only satisfied when she saw a hole in Xin's body.

"Hmph, don't tell me?"

At this time, Zhu Jing's voice sounded again.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Jing acted like a bully, stepped forward and pulled out a sword from the guard's waist, raised the sword with his hand and dropped it, one hand of the snake trainer was chopped off.There was only a scream of "Ah...!", and the snake trainer spurted out a stream of blood from his wrist, and the severed hand fell to the ground, still twitching continuously...

"what……"

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ziqi's complexion suddenly turned pale, and even his lips trembled.

She and Zhu Zichan screamed twice in unison.

The servants also shrank into a ball in fright at this moment, and retreated.

"Why, are you still unwilling to say? The old man asks a question, and if you don't say it, one hand will be cut off. If you ask another question, if you don't say it, it will be the other hand, followed by the leg, and then..."

After a pause, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Jing's lips, and he held the blood-dripping sword in front of his eyes, stretched out his left hand and touched the place where the blood was still dripping, and then said: "Next, It's your head, since you don't say who ordered it, the old man can only treat you as a murderer."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and wanted to cut it down again.At this time, Zhu Ziqi's expression on the side changed a few times, and he stared at the snake trainer without blinking, his eyes were full of nervousness and worry, and naturally there was a hint of viciousness.

I saw the snake trainer clutching his bloody wrist, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a sharp voice, "It's Er..." Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Ziqi suddenly pulled out the With a small knife, he threw himself at the man...

It was too late to say it, it was too late, Zhu Zixin saw this, without thinking, she rushed forward, grabbed Zhu Ziqi's hand, and asked in a cold voice, "What is Second Sister doing?"

I couldn't help feeling lucky, fortunately this Zhu Ziqi had never learned martial arts, otherwise, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to stop her.

"This man wants to murder my sister, Ziqi feels resentful, so naturally she wants to kill him to avenge her sister!"

Now that Zhu Ziqi is under the control of others, and eager to kill people to silence her, she could only swallow her anger.

"Really? Sister, I would like to thank my sister for her generous help. However, the mastermind of this case has not been found out yet. Wouldn't it be cheaper for the mastermind to kill him? My sister is still waiting."

Zhu Zixin looked at Zhu Ziqi, and saw a smirk on his lips. After finishing speaking, he tightened his hand, and Zhu Ziqi's knife could no longer hold it. It fell to the ground with a bang, and Zhu Zixin let go of his hand again. Pushing her along the way, Zhu Ziqi's center of gravity was unstable, and she took a few steps back before she could stand still. Her body was suffering from the last poisoning, and she hadn't recovered well. Even if Zhu Zixin didn't use her skills, she would still be the same Not her match.

Picking up the small knife on the ground, Zhu Zixin played with it for a while, looked at Zhu Jing and said, "Daddy can continue."

During this time, Zhu Jing had been watching all this with cold eyes. At this moment, seeing that Zhu Zixin was still able to speak easily, he couldn't help frowning.

In his impression, Zhu Zixin is not so courageous, not to mention those snakes, but the scene where he chopped off the snake trainer's hand just now can scare her half to death. Snake siege, and then seeing the bloody scene in front of him, he can react so quickly and think so clearly, which really makes him admire her, Zixin has changed!Really changed!Could it be because of her mother's death that she became what she is now?
Zhu Jing's frown became deeper and deeper...

"Father...it's time to ask questions!"

Seeing that Zhu Jing was silent for a while, Zhu Zixin thought that he was going to favor Zhu Ziqi again, so she said impatiently.

"Oh, I know."

Coldly, Zhu Jing replied, and the next moment, his eyes were like arrows towards the snake trainer, and his tone was cold.

"Say, who told you to attack the eldest lady with a snake?"

"I said, I said...Miss, it's the second miss, master, it was the second miss who ordered the younger one to use a snake to kill the eldest miss. Master, don't kill me, don't kill me, I say it, and I confess it!"

"You are talking nonsense! I don't even know you, how can I instruct you to kill eldest sister?"

Zhu Ziqi interrupted the man's words, and argued.

Then, she also hurriedly knelt down in front of Zhu Jing, crying and said, "Daddy, it's not my daughter. He spouted blood. After what happened last time, my daughter hasn't recovered yet. How can I contact Zhu Jing?" Seeing such a person? Please ask Dad to learn from you!"

"Second miss, you can't talk nonsense with red lips and white teeth. If you hadn't gone to the snake market today, asked me to plot to kill the eldest lady, and promised to give little Yi 100 taels of silver after the matter is completed."

Having said this, the snake trainer hurriedly looked at Zhu Jing again, and said, "My lord, every word I said is true, if there is any concealment, I hope the sky strikes with lightning, and I don't want to die!"

The man clutched the wound, the blood was still flowing, his complexion was pale, and his tone was weak, but at this moment, he couldn't care less about these things, he just wanted to save his life!Therefore, fearing that Zhu Jing would not believe him, he struggled and said hastily.

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, and said: "Master, in our business, it takes a lot of trouble to lure snakes out of the hole. If you don't believe me, you can go to the residence of the eldest lady and you will find out that those snake berries , it was the villain who asked the second lady to find a way to put it in the eldest lady's residence."

"You're talking nonsense. I haven't. I haven't been to the snake market. I don't know what snake berries are. You spit blood!"

Zhu Zixin still refused to admit it, and shouted.

"Say, what's with those snake berries?"

Only then did Zhu Zixin understand, so he asked in a cold voice.

"Snake...snakeberry..." Zhu Ziqi's eyeballs rolled around, and he stammered, "How do I know what happened to that snakeberry? The things in your yard came to ask me, saying Maybe you came up with this way to frame me!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Ziqi suddenly had an idea, and actually bit back, slandering Zhu Zixin.She suddenly clutched her chest and burst into tears: "Okay, Zhu Zixin, I didn't realize until now that you were the one who wanted to frame me, saying that I gave you the snake berries, and you and I are here because What happened last time has turned against each other, how can you accept what I gave you?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Ziqi hurriedly knelt down in front of Zhu Jing again, and cried out: "Father...Father, you must be the master for your daughter. The daughter really did not harm the elder sister. It is the elder sister who has ulterior motives. This is to frame her. Daughter! Father, my daughter is suffering!..."

As she spoke, Zhu Ziqi clutched her chest, took a few breaths, then fell down and passed out.

Zhu Zixin naturally knew that she was faking it, but Zhu Jing was still moved by her performance, and shouted anxiously: "Come on, take the second lady back to the room quickly, and invite the doctor to come."

"Yes."

Everyone was in a hurry, and they were about to take Zhu Ziqi away.

At this time, Zhu Zichan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Wait a minute! This snake berry was given to everyone by the second sister, I can testify!"

"..."

As soon as Zhu Zichan's words fell, everyone was shocked.

At this time, Second Aunt was being supported by someone. She had just walked not far away when she heard Zhu Zichan's words and almost fainted again. She pointed at Zhu Zichan with trembling hands and said tremblingly: "Chan'er, she is Your own sister, how can you do this?
After finishing speaking, he coughed violently, causing the wound on his buttocks again, and couldn't help crying with his teeth bared.

"My God, why did I, Ge Lirong, give birth to such a wicked girl! Even my own sister would be killed, are you born by me!..."

Seeing her mother like this, Zhu Zichan's eyes flashed with unbearable, but when she thought that her future could only depend on Zhu Zixin in the future, she became ruthless again and squeezed two tears, she said: " Mother, I know that I will hurt your heart by saying this, but it is the truth. I can't protect her just because she is my own sister. Besides, the elder sister is also my own sister. Why can't you do the same thing? Last time, my daughter was so remorseful because she did something wrong to her eldest sister that she always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to her, but she was really ashamed and dared not see her. This time, her daughter could not do any harm no matter what. It's the eldest sister's business! My daughter only hopes that the second sister can learn from this lesson and start a new life in the future. I believe that Daddy will give the second sister a chance, right?"
