Chapter 77: The truth is green on green, a happy couple
Staring at Sun Shaozong, the discontent on Zhu Hu's face gradually faded, replaced by a bitter smile that was a mixture of helplessness and admiration.
After a while, he reached out and untied the jade buckle, casually threw it on the round table beside him, and said with a faint sigh: "Brother Sun's reputation of 'divine judgment' is indeed well-deserved. Zhu is willing to admit defeat."
This obviously means admitting guilt!
There was a sudden uproar in the hall, and someone who was usually on good terms with Zhu Hu stamped his feet and said, "Brother Zhu, you...what on earth are you doing this for? Although Zhu Peng has become more domineering after getting married, he has always trusted you - could it be that he did something to let you down behind your back?!"
Zhu Hu shook his head and said with a sad smile: "It's not that he is sorry for me, but I am sorry for him - the child in that woman's belly is actually... mine!"
Although he did not explicitly say who 'that woman' was, who among those present did not know that Minister Wang's daughter was now six or seven months pregnant?
The first one was someone else’s seed, and I didn’t expect the second one was also someone else’s seed - Zhu Peng can really be called the leader in the cuckold world!
The uproar around them became louder, and in the chaos, someone could be heard cursing angrily, "Zhu Hu, you usually appear to be so righteous, but I didn't expect you to behave like such a beast..."
"I don't want to either!"
Zhu Hu roared suddenly, suppressing everyone's voices, and then smiled bitterly: "I have no interest in that woman at all. It was only after I was drunk that she dragged me to bed!"
"Since then, I have been in a state of panic all day, fearing that this matter would be known by my third brother, but that woman seemed to be fine. Every time I ran into her at home, she would even secretly tease me!"
"More than two months later, my third brother suddenly found me and said... that woman was pregnant with his child! My heart skipped a beat at that time, and I secretly went to find that woman and found out that it was indeed the evil seed I planted that day..."
As he spoke, he felt regret, shame, and fear...
All these negative emotions rushed to Zhu Hu's face at once, making him look like a patient in the late stage of mania.
And when he mentioned Zhu Peng again, he no longer called him "younger brother" or "third younger brother".
"After that, I was even more worried all day long. Until one day, Zhu Peng suddenly came up with a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone. He said that he could not only measure Brother Sun's quality, but also take the opportunity to get rid of the two annoying guys!"
"He had planned it well at that time. If Brother Sun couldn't find the 'real murderer', he could take the opportunity to ridicule and suppress Brother Sun, so as to prevent Brother Sun from challenging his dominant position among his peers."
"If Brother Sun finds out about Wang Bingxian and Jiang Yunhe, he can use Brother Sun to get rid of them!"
When Wang Bingxian and Jiang Yunhe heard this, they gritted their teeth in hatred.
Sun Shaozong smiled and interrupted, "If that's the case, Zhu Peng should have prepared some backup plans, right? Otherwise, not only will the two brothers Wang and Jiang not have a good ending, but he himself will also be branded as unkind and unjust."
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Brother Sun."
Zhu Hu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Jiang has already completed the reinstatement. The copy of the official document from the Ministry of Personnel is in his hands now..."
"What?!"
Jiang Yunhe was stunned and said, "Since the restoration has already been accomplished, then...then why did he still plot to frame me?!"
"Brother Jiang."
Zhu Hu shook his head and said helplessly: "It seems that you still don't understand. Zhu Peng doesn't care what you and Brother Wang think, and he doesn't care whether you can be reinstated. What he cares about is Brother Sun's current reputation!"
"As long as there is a chance to save Brother Sun's face, helping you find a sinecure before you die, what difficulty would it be for him?"
"Whether Brother Sun can find out the 'truth' or not, Zhu Peng is ready to label you as 'repaying kindness with enmity'!"
"As for my brother..."
As he spoke, he turned his sympathetic gaze to Wang Bingxian: "A few days ago, Zhu Peng took advantage of your drunkenness and asked you to sign a divorce letter. The date was before the 'official selection' last year, which is enough to prove that Brother Wang took the initiative to 'sell his wife for fame'."
"This damn bastard!"
Hearing this, Wang Bingxian, who had always seemed a little timid, finally flew into a rage and rushed over to "whip the corpse" to vent his anger.
There were obviously a group of big and strong men around him, but none of them had any intention of stopping him.
But Wang Bingxian rushed to Zhu Peng's body, raised his hands and stamped his feet for a while, and finally threw his sleeves in anger and said bitterly: "Although he is despicable and vulgar, I am not ashamed to learn from Wu Zixu!"
There is no doubt that he was greeted with countless contemptuous looks.
Based on his cowardly nature, the accusation of 'selling his wife for fame' may not be an injustice to him!
After despising Wang Bingxian, Zhu Hu continued, "That day, Zhu Peng excitedly described this ingenious plan to me, but I only had one thought in my mind - if he is really poisoned to death, then I won't have to worry anymore in the future, right?"
"So I made a small addition to his 'brilliant plan'."
"I originally thought that with Wang and Jiang in front as the 'front' and Zhu Peng's own plan behind as the 'inside', I would be safe if I hid in between, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated Brother Sun - ah, it's true that you will suffer the consequences if you do evil!"
With Zhu Hu's final sigh, the truth of this tortuous case was finally revealed.
All those involved in the case, regardless of whether they have extenuating circumstances, will be punished by law.
The only exception is probably the daughter of Minister Wang...
wrong!
After this incident, I’m afraid no one in this world would dare to marry her. Forcing her to marry her can be considered a punishment.
At least that's what Sun Shaozong thought at the time, until...
--Dividing line--
More than four months later, the Jia Mansion set up a temporary martial arts training ground.
"Second brother, save me!"
Xue Pan rushed to Sun Shaozong excitedly, and shouted in shock: "Just now...just now a matchmaker came to my house and proposed a marriage for me!"
Sun Shaozong took a half step back without leaving a trace, frowned and asked: "Is that woman ugly?"
Xue Pan thought about it carefully, then shook his head vigorously.
"Then why are you so flustered?!"
In Sun Shaozong's opinion, for a woman to marry a notorious double-headed man like Xue Pan was already a blessing from the Xue family's ancestors, not to mention that he wasn't ugly.
Xue Pan said anxiously: "But...but she is unlucky in marriage!"
It turns out that this is a second marriage, no wonder this guy is so reluctant.
Sun Shaozong patted his shoulder calmly and said, "Don't worry, that's all superstition."
At the same time, what he was thinking in his heart was: It would be best if that woman could be killed, so as to get rid of a scourge in this world!
Xue Pan was even more anxious: "But...but besides being a jinx, she also steals other men!"
This problem is a bit...
Sun Shaozong was surprised: "Whose daughter is this? With such a reputation, how dare she take the initiative to come and propose marriage?"
Generally speaking , women with such a reputation are either alone for the rest of their lives or married far away. How could anyone dare to take the initiative to propose marriage?
Xue Pan said with a sad face: "Second brother also knows, she is the only daughter of Minister Wang of the Ministry of Personnel!"
I'm going to
This... this is really the case of fish looking for fish, shrimps looking for shrimps, and turtles looking for big turtles!
