Chapter 7: Something to be happy about
The conversation just now seems simple, but it is mixed with the calculations given by various expert think tanks from my hometown:
When facing Thor and Lina, he was as strong as possible at first, using Stockholm psychology to control the other party's psychological expectations and pave the way for the next conversation.
As for the mention of "possible IOUs", it is just an attempt, because IOUs do not necessarily exist, everything is reasoning and speculation.
It doesn't matter if the IOU doesn't exist, you can cover up the past with words, such as their father carrying the IOU with him, or something like that.
The matter of the IOU planted a seed of doubt in their hearts, as for ...... It was a complete surprise to blow the words out of Thor's mouth.
All of the above foreshadowing is for one goal...... Persuade the brother and sister not to receive the money!
There is a prerequisite for the appearance of this sentence, that is: it is an established fact that the two barons secretly murdered their father.
At this time, the brother and sister "have" only two paths to choose.
I believe that Zhu Ping will uphold justice for them.
Trust that the owner of the IOU can pay.
It seems that there are two paths to choose, but on the two options, Zhu Ping has already secretly marked the answer for them.
"My think tank group is amazing! Far away in another starry sky, after just a few words can play people around, no wonder Uncle Xiaohuang said that a Zhuge Liang can withstand thousands of troops......"
Zhu Ping sighed at the greatness of wisdom, and his mood was a little excited.
After all, in this world, the wise man in his hometown is his own think tank, his own wisdom.
There is no doubt that knowledge is the most unassailable power in the world.
……
The doorway of Hall Castle.
A man and a woman, about fifteen or sixteen years old, leaning on their tiptoes, looked up into the building through the steel welded iron door.
In addition to the many types of maids in a functioning castle, there is another set of valet configurations, such as a butler, a coachman, a valet, etc.
Even at the entrance of a small castle, there are several male servants to act as doormen.
This is the decency that belongs to the aristocracy.
"Zhuping Hall", who has little money, really wants to maintain dignity, but unfortunately the scandal of killing employees has caused a stir, so that the male servants have united to boycott the Hall family.
Employee boycott of employer...... He didn't believe it without the help of those two barons, but now the facts no longer mattered.
"Anyone? Is there anyone in the Hall family? The girl whispered twice into the courtyard.
"Sister, let's go back! I haven't opened the door for so long, obviously I didn't take it seriously. The boy felt a little undignified.
The siblings are Thor and Lina.
Apparently they took the bait...... Phew, they made the right choice for themselves.
Soon, a maid with a tiger's back and a bear's waist trotted in the iron gate, and her tall size made her naturally look down at the two children in front of her.
"You're brother and sister Thor and Lina, aren't you? I've been waiting for you for a long time. She spoke in a proper and cordial tone, and led the way when she spoke.
The two hairy children followed obediently like little quails.
The siblings walked through a luxurious estate they had never seen before, and over a corridor of birds and flowers.
As far as the eye could see, there was a man facing the morning light, with his back to them.
Against the backdrop of the nascent rising sun, the figure is unusually tall, lonely, and mysterious.
The man waved his hand, and Nina's maid walked back with small steps down, and soon there were only three people left in the courtyard of the manor.
"You're here!"
The voice was deep and magnetic, and apart from being slightly familiar in tone, the brother and sister could hardly even recognize this as Sir Zhu Ping, whom they had seen yesterday.
"What are you looking for us for?" The young man was very inward-looking, and when he said this, his status had already been reduced by half.
"Nope! Strictly speaking, it's not that I'm looking for you, it's that you need my help, am I right? Zhu Ping turned around and looked at the brother and sister with a smile.
"We don't need your mercy!" The boy denied it, but the tougher he became, the more he was uneasy and timid.
It's like a little boy who doesn't want to admit that he turns on the lights all night because he is afraid of the dark at night.
Zhu Ping suddenly found that in the parallel world, it is very interesting to use intelligence to tease other people's emotions.
"You need money to finish your education, you need money to continue to live a decent life, you need money to eat and drink.
You guys, you need my help!
Of course, I also know that you are not just here for money, but also to find the truth about your father's death, and to practice the justice in your heart. Zhu Ping's voice was serious.
This trick is called killing!
The expression of resistance on Thor's face instantly became stunned, and he suddenly felt that the man in front of him was not so annoying.
Lina, a freckled girl, took two steps forward and bowed: "Generous and kind Sir Zhu Ping, we really need your help.
If you are willing to help us, I will deliver the IOU left by my father to you.
If the money is returned, you can take a 50% of the money as a reward. ”
"Sister!" The boy was stunned.
Zhu Ping calmly looked at the girl with some freckles on the bridge of her nose in front of her: "Miss Lina, you are a smart girl, you should understand that this note brings you not wealth, but crisis." ”
"Why?" The young man questioned Zhu Ping, apparently he still couldn't figure out the situation.
Zhu Ping glanced at the young man approvingly, very satisfied with the plattering player, and responded: "Those two barons murdered your father, one is because they don't want to pay.
Two! They also wanted to get rid of the only human witnesses.
Want them to pay? Hehe, this has nothing to do with the amount of money, as long as the money is paid, then they are equivalent to a disguised admission that the employees who bought me embezzled my assets.
As a nobleman who cherishes his reputation, will he admit it? Sorry, not at all!
Not only that, but now that the human evidence has been removed, it seems that there is only one physical evidence left! ”
Zhu Ping raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The IOU in your hand, the only physical evidence, is likely to be exchanged for not gold coins, but a knife to the neck......"
The faces of the brother and sister suddenly turned pale.
The elder brother is a dumbfounder, his brain is full of paste, and he just understood the "cause and effect" after Zhu Ping's mention.
My sister is smart, and she has a guess in her heart, but she doesn't want to believe it, or she can't believe it.
If the nobles want to hire someone to murder their brother and sister, it is a disaster for them, and it is normal for them to escape.
You are weak and helpless, and you have key evidence, who will you kill if you don't kill you...... Zhu Ping broke through the fog that shrouded the incident.
In fact, they have no choice for a long time!
Zhu Ping didn't continue to speak, he was waiting......
The siblings were silent, they were thinking about ......
It seems that her sister Lina has thought it through.
She lifted the hem of her skirt and made a very standard bowing etiquette: "Kind Sir Zhu Ping, I apologize for the previous offense of myself and my brother."
Because of our ignorance, we have made you suffer an unjustified wrong.
I know that a few words will not undo the damage in your heart, but if I could, I would be your employee or even a maid, driven by you, and help you save your reputation on the outside. ”
The children of this world are too precocious! Snatched all my lines...... A trace of astonishment flashed in Zhu Ping's eyes, but it was quickly hidden, and if he was surprised, the character would collapse into a villain.
His idea, as his sister Lina said, is indeed to make them his bargaining chips to save his "fame and fortune".
I didn't expect the girl to be so smart and speak her mind first.
Occupy the initiative.
This is a smart and clever girl, the seedling of a domineering female president who can play with countless people in the palm of her hand in modern times.
The girl noticed Zhu Ping's stunned and smiled, which was a faint polite smile.
Zhu Ping readily agreed to Lina's proposal, and the two sides reached a series of cooperation, while his brother Thor was still confused and confused.
In order to show kindness, when the two children went home to pack their luggage, Zhu Ping asked Nina's maid to bring some people to help.
Soon, Zhu Ping was the only one left in the courtyard.
He looked intently at the clock with a swaying rope in one hand and a piece of paper in the other.
There are no quartz clocks, not even a qualified ruler, let alone a vacuum environment, an atomic clock, or a lithic caliper...... and other cutting-edge equipment.
The problem of data accuracy can only be blamed on the smart people on the other side of the planet.
Looking at this string of familiar words, the corners of Zhu Ping's mouth were slightly hooked, and he traveled thousands of miles away, but at least he didn't lose contact with "home".
It's something to be happy about, isn't it?
