Zi Su smiled indifferently: "The Zhou Mansion seems to be in full swing, but the mansion is fighting to the death, even if I don't have to take revenge in person, I'm afraid that the Zhou brothers will not end well." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Mr. Gu, I'll tell you the truth, I'm here to investigate a maid named Bicao this time, she may have been threatened by the second young grandmother Tan Baoli and almost poisoned the fifth young master."

"Is there such a thing? The fifth young master was so young, why did they treat him like this? ”

"Zhou Qingming killed the eldest brother Zhou Jinming and blamed the second brother Zhou Chenming, I just said this, the second young grandmother dealt with the fifth young master like this, it is said that it is for a prescription."

"Prescription?" Gu Junyi pondered for a moment, "Is it for the Ten Directions Dragon and Snake Pill?" ”

"The Ten Fang Dragon Snake Pill is the prescription of the Zhou Mansion?"

"That's right, this prescription is very mysterious, and the medicine is extremely difficult, it is said that it takes many years to make a pill, this medicine can detoxify all kinds of poisons, dispel evil spirits, prolong life, and the folk are rumored to have the effect of immortality. Back then, the Zhou family relied on this prescription to start, and with this prescription, the Zhou family clinged to the forces of all parties, and the sleek and sophisticated Zhou family ran the Zhou family into the current situation. It is said that this time, Master Zhou went to the capital to donate his official position, and he also went with this prescription. ”

"I see, no wonder Aunt Song said that getting this prescription is more important than getting the Wanguan family wealth of the Zhou Mansion."

Gu Junyi nodded and said: "That's right, the Ten Fang Dragon Snake Pill is the foundation of the Zhou Mansion, and the dignitaries and nobles in Jinling all covet this recipe, but the pharmaceutical process is secret, and only the Zhou family can make it, these people can only sigh at the Zhou family's prescription, and want to get a Ten Fang Dragon Snake Pill for tens of thousands of gold, and they want to have a good relationship with the Zhou family." Whoever Master Zhou passed on this recipe to was the one who would dominate Jinling in the future. ”

Zi Su said indignantly: "For such a prescription, brothers kill each other, and the descendants of the Zhou Mansion are like wolves of wealth." ”

Gu Junyi defended: "You can't say that. ”

"Why can't you say that, Zhou Jinming, Zhou Chenming, Zhou Qingming, which one is a good person?"

"I mean the fifth young master, at least he is young, not what you say."

"Okay, I also think that Aunt Song and the Fifth Young Master are quite pitiful, so I want to help them. It's just that I don't understand, since they think that Master Zhou will pass on the prescription to his youngest son, Fifth Young Master, why don't they start it as soon as possible? ”

Gu Junyi explained: "I heard about this earlier, and Master Zhou was the first to let out the words and wanted to pass the prescription to Zhou Jinming. According to your experience in the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Qingming took advantage of Master Zhou's outing, and used the strategy of killing two birds with one stone to kill Zhou Jinming and blame Zhou Chenming, so that it would be his turn to get the prescription from Master Zhou. Now that Zhou Jinming is dead, they think that Master Zhou may be like his father, after the eldest son dies, he will pass on the prescription to the youngest son, so they will do it to the fifth young master. ”

Shiso is now completely clear.

She couldn't help but wonder, "Mr. Gu, you seem to know a lot about the affairs of the Zhou Mansion." ”

"The matter of the Zhou Mansion, I have been investigating it since many years ago."

"You have already planned to deal with the Zhou Mansion, do you also have a grudge against the Zhou Mansion."

Gu Junyi said with a smile: "I, like the common people in Jinling who have been bullied and oppressed by the Zhou Mansion, have a grudge against the Zhou Mansion. ”

After speaking, he looked up at a wisp of clouds in the sky, as if recalling the distant past.

Zi Su faintly felt that if Gu Junyi hadn't had a hatred with the Zhou Mansion, he wouldn't have been planning for so many years, and looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to be willing to talk about his own affairs, which must have been an extremely painful past.

Gu Junyi suddenly asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Zi Su didn't want to continue to ask Gu Junyi about his purpose in doing this, so as not to embarrass him, so he smiled and said, "I'm wondering why Bicao listened to the second young grandmother?" ”

Gu Junyi thought for a moment, "A person can be threatened, family affection and love are the most likely for two reasons, one of which is that you suspect that her family is threatened, and the other is that her lover may be threatened, or her lover is someone next to the second young grandmother." ”

"Bicao doesn't seem to have a sweetheart."

"Zisu, how much do you know about Zhou Mansion and Bicao? Bicao is a maid in the Zhou Mansion, even if she has a sweetheart, she doesn't dare to tell others. ”

"You make a lot of sense to say that, it looks like I'm going to go back and find out if she has a lover."

Gu Junyi reminded: "Her scope of activity is in the Zhou Mansion, if Bicao has a lover, she must also be a person from the Zhou Mansion." ”

"I see, thank you, Mr. Gu."

"Zisu, you always call me Mr. Gu, as if I am an old man, besides, we are so familiar with each other, you call me Mr. feel a little unexpected. Can you change the name? ”

When Zi Su thought about it, he didn't seem to be very familiar with Gu Junyi, but he didn't like to call him like that, so he changed his name.

"You have always called me by my name, then I will also call you by your name in the future, Gu Junyi."

Zi Su returned to the Zhou Mansion and told Aunt Song about Bicao's family situation, and asked Aunt Song if Aunt Song had a sweetheart.

Aunt Song doesn't know much about this matter, and it's normal for a master not to know about people, so Zisu can only secretly rely on her own observation and ask others.

There are not many people in Aunt Song's yard to serve, plus Shisu, there are three big girls in Bicao, and another maid named Lan Yin has been serving Aunt Song, Lan Yin has a cold temperament and doesn't like to talk, and Zisu has almost no contact with her after her resurrection.

Zi Su didn't directly ask Lan Yin about Bi Cao's feelings, and under the side knock, Lan Yin didn't reveal anything about Bi Cao's sweetheart in the Zhou Mansion, but Zi Su could feel that Lan Yin seemed to be unfriendly to her expression.

It's no wonder that the latecomer of Shisu is on top, and he can't help but serve the fifth young master, and he is so loved by Aunt Song, Lan Yin, who has served Aunt Song for too long, must feel uncomfortable.

Zi Su thought to herself, the fifth young master was poisoned and rescued, if her guess was correct, the person who coerced Bicao would definitely look for her, these days, staring closely at Bicao, she can always find something.

The strange thing is that Bicao has been taking care of the fifth young master Zhou Kunming for the past few days, almost day and night, and has never left Aunt Song's yard, the fifth young master has gradually recovered his former vigor, and Bicao's body can't support it and falls ill.

Zi Su went to see the sick Bi Cao and found that her expression was a little different from the past, her expression was in a trance, and her eyes were still red as if she had cried, which made Zi Su even more suspicious of her.

That night, Shiso pretended to go to bed early and closed his eyes to listen to the movement of Bicao, who lived next door.

Shiso had almost no sleep all night, but he didn't hear any movement from Bicao.

Could it be that I was wrong? Bicao doesn't have any sweethearts in the Zhou Mansion at all?

Until dawn, a few thrushes were heard outside the courtyard.

Shiso grew up in the countryside since she was a child, and she is very familiar with the sound of bird calls, and vaguely she feels that the calls of these two thrush birds are low, not as crisp as they usually hear, and they seem to be imitated by people pinching their noses?

After a while, I heard the sound of the green grass room gently opening, followed by the sound of slight footsteps, and Shiso quietly followed.

Bicao opened the gate of the yard, looked at the door, and found that there was no one, so he hurriedly lowered his head and kept walking forward.

Shiso tiptoed and followed closely.

Bicao suddenly sped up her pace, turned a corner, and seemed to be walking in the direction of the third young master's courtyard.

Shisu was about to catch up when he suddenly heard someone talking to Bicao and quickly stopped.

That voice was Zhou Qingming's servant Fuchun.

Fu Chun smiled and said, "I said that you are really capable, and you will not be able to leave Aunt Song's yard for a few days and nights." ”

"You also know about the Fifth Young Master, Aunt Song is ordered to serve day and night."

"Aunt Song, are you the only maid in the courtyard? What about Shiso and Ranin? Will you serve people? ”

Bicao was silent.

Fuchun said again: "Bicao, I see that you have lost a lot of weight today, I feel distressed when I see it." ”

Shisu's heart moved, could it be that Bicao's sweetheart is Fuchun?

Fu Chun is Zhou Qingming's person, so it was Zhou Qingming who arranged to poison the fifth young master?

This is not right, that day in the garden, why did the second young grandmother Tan Baoli deliberately look for trouble? They're bitter enemies.

Thinking of this, I suddenly heard Fu Chun scolding: "Dead girl, just touch your little face, you dare to fight back." ”

Bicao said in a low voice: "Fuchun, aren't you afraid that I will tell the third young master?" ”

Fu Chun said impatiently, "Dead girl, dare to threaten me, you wait." ”

"Fu Chun, you know that I am the third young master's person, and you still dare to speak to me like this?"

"You are also worthy of being the third young master's person? You don't look at what your identity is? What the third young master likes is perilla. ”

"I'm too lazy to talk to you, what's the matter with the third young master asking you to call me?"

"Don't put up a fight for Lao Tzu, I don't know your mind yet, if you don't want Zisu to die, you won't secretly stuff money for the fat aunt, let her be heavier on Shisu, and Zisu won't be able to survive." On the night of Shisu's death, you can rest assured that you will appear in front of Shisu in the middle of the night, right? You're a woman who is too good at acting. ”

When Zi Su heard this, he was taken aback, he didn't expect Bicao to be this kind of person! I still thought she was a sister, it turned out that everything was fake, but fortunately I didn't tell her about my resurrection. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have died again.

The young masters and wives of the Zhou Mansion are so vicious, and the maids and servants are also vicious.

Bicao snorted, "Fuchun, some words are better for you to rot in your stomach." You tell me first, is it because the fifth young master is not dead because the third young master is looking for me? ”

I heard Fu Chun say: "I can't tell you for the time being, you will understand if you go with me to see the third young master." ”

Watching Bicao follow Fuchun into Zhou Qingming's courtyard, Zi Su realized that Zhou Qingming was his sweetheart.
