Zhu Zimo's visit to Zou Yang was temporarily notified by Zhu Hui, and it was impossible for outsiders to know about it within a period of time.

Therefore, Zhu Zimo dared to conclude that they were assassinated in the forest on the outskirts of Beijing, and it could only be that an internal ghost passed on the fact that he was going to Zouyang.

At that time, those people were afraid that they had already received orders from their master not to ask him Zhu Zimo's life, otherwise, Zhu Zimo was very suspicious that he could still sit here so calmly now!

In Lin Zhiwu's heart, Zhu Zimo is the master, and he is the master who will be loyal to protect him all his life, so no matter what kind of danger Zhu Zimo encounters, Lin Zhiwu will not hesitate to block it for Zhu Zimo.

Even if one day, the arrow shot at Zhu Zimo was to take Zhu Zimo's life, Lin Zhiwu would not hesitate to block it again! This is also the reason why Zhu Zimo said that Lin Zhisheng helped outsiders harm his own brother.

Lin Zhisheng is still too young after all......

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't!" Lin Zhisheng shouted loudly, and the violent aura in his eyes protruded.

Suddenly, Lin Zhisheng slipped out of his sleeve and held a dagger in his hand, and the snow-white dagger blade refracted a dazzling light when it was illuminated by the sun.

Raising the dagger, Lin Zhisheng rushed towards Zhu Zimo with all his might.

Glancing at Lin Zhisheng, who was holding a dagger high and rushing towards him, Zhu Zimo didn't move, still sitting on the chair and playing with the token without words and pictures.

"Stop!Zhisheng!!"

Just when Lin Zhisheng was only one step away from Zhu Zimo, a sharp shout suddenly came from somewhere behind Lin Zhisheng, and he stopped Lin Zhisheng's steps rushing forward.

Lin Zhisheng turned his head in disbelief, and when he saw the figure standing by the door behind him, he opened his mouth a little stunned, and his voice was a little dry: "Brother...... Brother ......"

Next to the carved door behind Lin Zhisheng, stood Lin Zhiwu with a complicated expression.

Looking at Lin Zhisheng, Lin Zhiwu's eyes were very complicated, and his thoughts were a little ethereal:

After Lin Zhiwu and Steward Liu discussed the matter, they went back to the front hall to find Zhu Zimo, but they only saw a group of maids cleaning in the hall, and the bodies of Zhu Hui, Chen Rou and Zhu Ziyao had also been carried out of the front hall.

didn't see Zhu Zimo, so Lin Zhiwu casually grabbed a family member who was mopping the floor by the hall door and asked, "Second young man...... What about the new head of the house?"

The housekeeper looked up at Lin Zhiwu and then lowered his head to do things again, and only replied lightly: "The new head of the family has sent someone to order, if Deputy Steward Lin comes to find the head of the family, let Deputy Steward Lin go to Zhisheng's bedroom." ”

Lin Zhiwu listened to the words of the family, although he felt strange, he didn't say anything, turned around and went in the direction of the lower courtyard where the family lived.

Along the way, Lin Zhiwu saw many people from the Zhu Mansion who were full of gloom.

"Zhiwu, how did you discuss it with Steward Liu?" As soon as Lin Zhiwu stepped into the door of Lin Zhisheng's bedroom, Zhu Zimo's voice sounded in his ears, very light and light, and he couldn't hear the emotion.

Lin Zhiwu turned to the left to face Zhu Zimo, who was sitting behind the bookcase, bowed his head, and said: "Zhiwu and Steward Liu have found a fortune teller to calculate their lives together, and the old man, the eldest lady, and the eldest young master are not suitable to go out to the funeral together." The funeral of the eldest lady and the eldest young master five days later, that is, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, is the most suitable day. As for the master, the fortune teller said that based on the eight characters of the master's birthday, it is best to go out of the funeral eight days later, that is, the tenth day of the first month. ”

Zhu Zimo nodded, his right index finger resting on the bookcase tapped the desk for a while, and his voice was still light: "Let's go out of the funeral according to the day you count! ”

"Yes. Father. Lin Zhiwu lowered his head and respectfully agreed.

"Go and stand behind the door!" Zhu Zimo suddenly looked at Lin Zhiwu and said such a sentence.

Lin Zhiwu thought he had misheard, and looked at Zhu Zimo in a daze for a long time without taking a step, until Zhu Zimo repeated that sentence again, and Lin Zhiwu was sure that he had heard it correctly.

Surprised and stunned, Lin Zhiwu obediently obeyed Zhu Zimo's words after all, and retreated to the back of the door to stand.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiwu finally understood the reason why Zhu Zimo asked him to stand behind the door, just to let him see and hear with his own eyes, what kind of person his own brother is!

"Brother...... You...... How could you be here?" Lin Zhisheng still had some difficulty accepting Lin Zhiwu's sudden appearance.

Lin Zhisheng is not afraid of anything, he is not afraid that Zhu Zimo will find out his identity as a fine worker, and he is not afraid of death, but the only thing he is most afraid of is that his brother Lin Zhiwu knows what he has done, Lin Zhisheng is really afraid that his brother will be disappointed in him.

Raising his head and closing his eyes, Lin Zhiwu took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, lowered his head and opened his eyes again, the complicated look in Lin Zhiwu's eyes had dispersed.

Looking at Lin Zhisheng steadily, Lin Zhiwu asked him word by word: "Why are you doing this? Is there anything wrong with you? Or do you think that the life of the Zhu Mansion is not satisfactory, and you want to find a good way back for yourself as soon as possible?"

Lin Zhiwu's voice was very indifferent, but Lin Zhisheng's heart trembled terribly.

After all, he is a sibling brother from childhood to adulthood, Lin Zhisheng knows that the more Lin Zhiwu speaks, the more angry he is, and Lin Zhisheng is really scared at the moment.

Dropping the dagger in his hand with a "clang", Lin Zhisheng turned around and knelt down towards Lin Zhiwu with a "bang", and his voice trembled a little: "Brother, Zhisheng is wrong, you won't have a word if you want to beat or scold Zhisheng, just ask you not to be angry with Zhisheng, okay?"

Aside from looking at Lin Zhisheng who was kneeling on the ground, Lin Zhiwu's voice was still cold: "You go and admit your mistakes to the master! If the master is willing to forgive you, I will have nothing to say." ”

Lin Zhiwu was very heartbroken, really heartbroken! This is his own brother who was pulling him up! Should he say that he is obsessed or should he say that he is too stubborn?

Lin Zhiwu has never had any unrealistic expectations for Lin Zhisheng, he only hopes that he can honestly stay in the Zhu Mansion and be a subordinate of his duty, he believes that his grandfather will not treat the two of them badly, and he has indeed never treated them badly.

But why, who can sue him, why did things turn out like this?

Listening to Lin Zhiwu's words, Lin Zhisheng just lowered his head and bit his lower lip, but did not turn around to admit his mistake to Zhu Zimo.

He, Lin Zhisheng, can kneel down to his brother and admit his mistakes, but he will never admit his mistakes to Zhu Zimo!

Squinted at Lin Zhisheng, who didn't move on the ground, Lin Zhiwu's tone was a little unkind: "What's the matter? You don't even listen to my words? You only listen to the master you recognize now, right?"

"I ......," Lin Zhisheng opened his mouth and said the word "I" and stopped.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Zhiwu's voice was very indifferent, but his words were full of determination: "If you still treat me as your brother, go and confess your mistakes to your master immediately, otherwise, I don't have the right to be your younger brother!

If the late father and mother knew that his brother had taught his younger brother to betray his master, what kind of face would he have to see his father and mother under Jiuquan in the future? ?

was shocked by Lin Zhiwu's resolute words and raised his head, Lin Zhisheng's eyes were full of disbelief.

However, when he saw Lin Zhiwu not even looking at him, the disbelief in Lin Zhisheng's eyes was slowly replaced by pain.

He lowered his head and bit his lower lip vigorously, and when he raised his head again, Lin Zhisheng's eyes were firm: "Brother, I'm not wrong! You just don't know the identity of the master, if you knew, you would also feel that the choice Zhisheng made back then was right." Master Zhu has a life-saving grace for you and Zhisheng, and Zhisheng will never forget it in this life and in the next life. But the second young master has no grace or virtue for us, but the master Yu Zhisheng has the grace of recreation. Zhisheng is loyal to his master, not only to repay his kindness but also to have a good back road for your brother, he will treat his master every day, at least he will not hurt his brother!"

"Are you going to be angry with me before you are willing?!" Listening to Lin Zhisheng's words, Lin Zhiwu didn't hold back after all, and roared angrily at Lin Zhisheng in front of Zhu Zimo.

"Do you know who gave you food and clothing for so many years? Do you know who healed my injuries when your brother and I were seriously injured? Do you know who rescued me when your brother and I wandered around the ghost gate several times over the years?!!

Lin Zhisheng was frightened by Lin Zhiwu's sudden outburst of monstrous anger, and only looked up at Lin Zhiwu blankly.

Lin Zhiwu looked down at Lin Zhisheng, who was kneeling on the ground and looking at him in a daze, and took a deep breath to suppress all his anger.

Then, Lin Zhiwu suddenly knelt down on Zhu Zimo's knees, his forehead slammed on the ground in front of him, and his voice was firm and powerful: "Master, all the mistakes are Zhiwu's fault." Zhiwu lost his father and mother when he was young, and only two of my brothers were left in the family, as the saying goes, the eldest brother is the father, and Zhisheng made such a big mistake because Zhiwu had no way to teach in the past. Zhiwu didn't dare to ask for anything, only dared to ask Ye Nian to spare Zhisheng's life for the sake of Zhiwu's loyalty to the master over the years, if the master wanted to punish him, he would punish Zhiwu, and Zhiwu would never complain!"

At this moment, Lin Zhiwu really had nothing else to ask for, only to ask Zhu Zimo to be merciful and let go of his only brother Lin Zhisheng.

"Brother!!" Lin Zhiwu's words made Lin Zhisheng wake up suddenly, but he only shouted his brother and opened his mouth and stopped talking.

At this time, Lin Zhisheng didn't know what else he could say. Lin Zhiwu made such sacrifices to protect him, he knew it well.

"Ask the master to punish Zhiwu. Raising his head and kneeling opposite each other, Lin Zhiwu didn't look at Lin Zhisheng, but just looked at Zhu Zimo behind Lin Zhisheng with firm eyes, pleading.

As long as Zhu Zimo can let Lin Zhisheng go, he wants Lin Zhiwu's life, and he will admit it.

Zhu Zimo, who had never spoken or moved, glanced at Lin Zhiwu who was kneeling by the door, suddenly put down the token in his hand gently, stood up leisurely, and walked around the bookcase to the door.

After stopping by the door for a while, Zhu Zimo continued to walk towards the courtyard outside the house, leaving only a sentence that was not light or heavy, and drifted in the wind: "This is your Lin family's housework." ”
