Chapter 908: Deadlocked
After a while, there were footsteps again. Xiao Xuzi hid behind the tree again, carefully hiding his figure in the moonlight.
Vaguely seeing what came was also a little eunuch. Not tall, but a bit fat. Zhao Tiezhu greeted him as soon as he saw it, and the two of them muttered that they didn't know what they were talking about.
Xiao Xuzi waved his hand, and the two little eunuchs who came with him rushed out, and the three of them pressed the two people to the ground together.
"Light the lantern!" Xiao Xuzi spat and said.
"Who of you, why are you arresting us!" Zhao Tiezhu and the little eunuch were still struggling.
After taking the lantern and lighting it, Xiao Xuzi saw clearly who the little eunuch was.
"How are you?" Xiao Xuzi's brows furrowed!
This little eunuch who came to the joint turned out to be from the front yard! It's called Zhao Xiaoquan.
The eunuch in the front yard colluded with Zhang Tiezhu? How does this not make sense? The front yard is full of people from the eighth master, how can it be possible to harm the eighth master's heir?
"Father-in-law Xu?" Zhao Xiaoquan's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.
"What are you two doing here?" Xiao Xuzi said with a calm face.
"No, no!" Zhao Xiaoquan suddenly shouted and said, "I, I just sent him silver." ”
"Silver? What kind of silver to give? Why did you give him money? Xiao Xuzi asked.
Zhao Xiaoquan's eyes flickered, and he hesitated and didn't speak.
"Go back to the front yard and call the master." Xiao Xu Zi said.
It was impossible to wake up the eighth master and Mao Tongtong in the middle of the night. And his identity is not enough, so he still has to let Chen Guo come and interrogate him properly.
Chen Guo didn't keep vigil by the eighth master's side today, so he rested in the front yard. Xiao Xuzi escorted the two to the front yard and called him up.
"Caught someone?" Chen Guo asked while getting dressed, "Which courtyard is it?" ”
"It's Mrs. Zhang's courtyard and the people in our courtyard." Xiao Xuzi replied.
"What?" Chen Guo was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't even wear his clothes, "You said the people in our courtyard?" Our front yard? ”
"Hmm. Zhao Xiaoquan and Zhao Tiezhu in Mrs. Zhang's courtyard. Xiao Xu Zi said.
"How is that possible?" Chen Guo was surprised.
How could these two people who couldn't fight together collude to do such a thing in private! If so, who is behind them? And who can take advantage of the people in the front yard? It's incredible.
"I couldn't believe it either. But we came out of Mrs. Zhang's courtyard and followed Zhao Tiezhu to the garden, and finally waited for Zhao Xiaoquan.
Chen Guo didn't delay anymore and walked out quickly. It's too strange, he needs to ask.
Zhao Tiezhu and Zhao Xiaoquan were locked in the utility room. When Chen Guo entered, Zhao Xiaoquan began to shout grievances, and said, "Father-in-law Chen, the two of us are just doing a little family matter, and we haven't done anything unseemly!" Me, me and he are cousins! ”
"What?" Chen Guo raised his eyebrows, "You are cousins?" ”
Zhao Tiezhu's age doesn't seem to be too young, but Zhao Xiaoquan is just a teenager. These two turned out to be cousins, which is really unexpected!
"I'm not lying! Really cousins! If Gonggong Chen doesn't believe it, you can check it! Zhao Xiaoquan said again: "We made an appointment to meet in the garden tonight because there was an accident at his family and he was short of silver." I'm sending him money! ”
Zhao Xiaoquan is much stronger than Zhao Tiezhu in the front yard, and he has no expenses on weekdays, so he has saved some savings.
"Grandpa Chen, tell the truth! I really just asked him to borrow money. My mother was seriously ill and didn't have any money for medicine. Zhao Tiezhu also hurriedly spoke.
Those who can enter Baylor's Mansion to serve can find out their family history clearly. These two people are so likely to tell lies that it doesn't make sense.
"Xiao Xuzi, have you searched their bodies?" Chen Guo asked.
"Not yet." Xiao Xu Zi said.
"Search!" Chen Guo spoke.
At this point, the two of them didn't resist anymore, and obediently searched Xiao Xuzi.
Until the two of them were stripped to only a pair of underwear, except for twenty taels of silver, Xiao Xuzi did not find anything suspicious.
"Keep the two of them here for now, and I'll find out the situation tomorrow." Chen Guo said.
Xiao Xuzi left two people to guard Zhao Tiezhu and Zhao Xiaoquan, and followed Chen Guo out of the utility room.
"Master, there doesn't seem to be any flaw in the words of these two people." Xiao Xu Zi said.
"No flaws?" Chen Guo glanced at him and said, "Maybe these two people have been good to each other for a long time?" Once you get caught, say so that you can keep the person behind it. Zhao Tiezhu is a sprinkler eunuch, how did he communicate with people outside? Since he and Zhao Xiaoquan are cousins, why never talk about this relationship? He doesn't want to go any further, and is willing to be a sweeping eunuch all the time? ”
"When the master said this, it seems that there are loopholes everywhere." Xiao Xuzi admired the way.
"It's just that where is the motive of these two people for harming the second elder brother? And who is behind it? Everyone in our front yard can move, so it's not easy! Chen Guo frowned again.
Xiao Xuzi didn't speak, which was also what he couldn't understand.
"Go and rest, you've worked hard these days. Tomorrow will be busy in the morning. Chen Guo said.
"Master, let's rest early." Xiao Xuzi nodded and retreated first.
Chen Guo sat on the bed, but he never fell asleep again.
Ever since the second elder brother had an accident, the eighth master has always wanted to find out what happened. But a few days have passed, and there is no clue about anything. Everyone has suspicions in their hearts, but they can't find evidence. I thought that the truth of the matter would come to the surface when I caught someone today, but now based on the confessions of the two, it seems that the truth can't surface again.
When the sky was bright, Chen Guo hurriedly went to Yile Garden.
The eighth master didn't have an early dynasty today, but he still got up early. When Chen Guo came, he was boxing in the courtyard.
Chen Guo saw that he had finished a set of punches before he stepped forward and told him what happened last night.
The eighth master wiped his sweat and said, "You go to check this matter, find out and then report it." The two were locked up first. ”
"Yes. The minions have already commanded them to go down. It can be found out in a maximum of two days. Chen Guo said.
The eighth master nodded and didn't say anything more.
When Mao Tongtong knew about this, it was already two days later when Chen Guo found out the results.
This time, the eighth master listened to Chen Guo's report in front of her.
"Lord Belle, judging from the minions' investigation, what Zhao Tiezhu and Zhao Xiaoquan said is true. Including the person who sent Zhao Tiezhu the news of his family, and how Zhao Tiezhu contacted Zhao Xiaoquan, the minions have checked them one by one, and there is indeed nothing suspicious. Chen Guo said.
This was a bit of a surprise. Even the eighth master was a little surprised. I didn't expect to work hard to catch two people, but in the end, it was useless.
Once again, things are at an impasse.
