Chapter 577: Selling the Golden Nest (29): Pretending to be crazy and stupid
Fang Pu's face was very ugly.
It could be seen that she was doing her best to help her uncle. However, he was attacked by Ye Zhenli and Cheng Ci in a row, and no one believed that his uncle was innocent.
In desperation, she had to look at Cheng Yinni again: "City Lord, I believe in you...... Can you trust me for once?"
After being silent for a long time, Cheng Yinni asked softly, "No matter what I say or do...... Do you choose to believe me?" Fang Pu nodded very decisively: "Naturally, I believe it, I believe everything you say!"
Cheng Yinnie gently pushed Ye Zhenli aside, and looked at Fang Pu with extremely sharp eyes: "If I say...... Your uncle killed meβbecause I saw that he was pretending to be crazy and stupid?
This sentence was like a bomb, and it detonated the whole room in an instant.
The person in question, Fang Zheng, couldn't stop laughing, and clapped his palms with a seemingly excited look: "I'll just say it! People are not crazy, people are meowing little white rabbits...... Meow~"
Listening to this incompatible cat meow, Fang Pu hugged Fang Zheng into his arms very distressed: "Uncle...... What should I do now? What should you do?"
Fang Pu's attitude was already obvious, she still chose to believe that her uncle was not pretending to be crazy and stupid, and she really ignored Cheng Yinni's kindness.
Cheng Yinnie whispered a few words in Ye Zhenli's ear, and Ye Zhenli pulled off the golden hairpin on his head and stabbed at Fang Pu: "Stupid woman, forget it if you're dead!"
"Xiao Pu, danger!" At this moment of danger, Fang Zheng pushed Fang Pu away, gathered his true qi in his palm, and withstood Ye Zhenli's attack.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zhenli didn't seem to really intend to kill Fang Pu, but just returned to Cheng Yinni's side with a backflip with a false move, and stretched out his thumb with a very admiring look.
In Fang Pu's stunned demeanor, Fang Zheng was still acting very energetically, picking up half of the silver hairpin on the ground and smiling stupidly: "Hey, hey...... It was so much fun, she went back again. β
After a disappointed sigh ended, Fang Puyou snatched the silver hairpin from his hand and threw it out of the window: "Uncle, don't pretend to be ...... How could you have been half crazy when you first came to save me?"
The conspiracy has been discovered, and it would be really self-deception to pretend to continue.
After some mental struggle, Fang Zheng finally returned to normal, and stretched out his hand towards Fang Pu with love: "...... Xiaopu, Uncle finally saw you again. β
Fang Pu frowned and took two steps back, and asked loudly, "Why are you pretending to be crazy and stupid to lie to me? Do you know how worried I am about you?"
Why did you kill the city lord? He is also a benefactor of our Fang family, otherwise how do you think you got out of the Golden Nest?"
Facing the aggressive niece, Fang Zheng just let out a heavier sigh: "Please believe that uncle is really in trouble." β
"I don't care if you lie to me, but I don't understand...... What kind of hardship can make you even kill your benefactor?" After that, Fang Pu turned her head out of the window strongly, and the people on the street did not make her eliminate the resentment in her heart.
Fang Zheng selectively remained silent, but Cheng Yinni sat down at the round table gracefully, and even kindly poured a cup of hot tea for Fang Zheng, who was standing opposite: "Sit down and have a cup of tea and chat! β
The man in front of him made Fang Zheng's heart very uneasy, from the moment he entered the door to the present, his heart had been hanging and had never fallen, and the assassination failure made him marvel at Cheng Yinni's martial arts and speed.
There was almost no other choice, Fang Zheng had to sit obediently over, and the first thing he blurted out was the word "I'm sorry".
But there was no guilt on his face, and this sentence was only for Fang Pu at best.
Cheng Yinni didn't care, and pushed the teacup over with a smile: "Pretending to be stupid is also a science, it seems that your knowledge is not very high! β
Holding the teacup with temperature in his hand, Fang Zheng asked with a cold face: "Even Ji Haitang's kid has been deceived by me, how did you find out that I was pretending to be crazy and stupid?"
Cheng Yinnie just smiled and didn't say anything, but he poured a cup of tea at a moderate temperature on his cuff while he was unprepared. With a "whoosh", Fang Zheng, who couldn't dodge, stood up angrily, pointed at his nose and scolded.
"Wait for the next generation, so presumptuous!" After saying these eight words, he hurriedly took a towel and wiped the tea stains, completely ignoring Cheng Yinni's smug little eyes: "You seem to love to be clean and tidy, this is really a good habit." β
"So you deliberately poured a cup of tea to disgust me?" With that, Fang Zheng threw the towel on the table very dissatisfied, right in front of Cheng Yinni.
Cheng Yinni crossed the hand cream on his chest and said lightly: "I just don't understand...... How could a true madman use his hands to smooth out the folds of his cuffs once or twice?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Fang Zheng, was stunned, and this inconspicuous detail was quickly recalled by everyone.
Cheng Ci was the first to raise his hand in support of her, Lord City Lord: "I also saw that Uncle Fang did smooth the folds of his cuffs with his hands, and more than once!"
After glancing at Cheng Ci with a teachable look, Cheng Yinni picked up the curtain on the ground and placed it on the table: "A real madman who wants to tear off the curtain has already torn it off, will he wait for us to come before he does it?" This is clearly for us to see." β
"How did I notice!" Ye Zhenli patted his head with annoyance: "The furnishings of this room are very neat, there is no trace of destruction, and even the bedding on the bed is neatly placed." β
Cheng Yinnie smiled and said: "It's not too late to find out now, but everyone's attention was attracted by the meowing rabbit at the beginning." β
As soon as he heard this, Fang Zheng was really ashamed of himself, and he couldn't wait to find a place to get in.
His eldest niece, whose curiosity had skyrocketed, also sat down: "City Lord, I apologize to you on behalf of my uncle." I hope you don't remember the villain, and don't be like him. β
Cheng Yinni said: "I am very broad-minded, of course I will not be as knowledgeable as the elderly. β
"You ......" Under Fang Pu's stern gaze, Fang Zheng had to take back the finger that was raised towards Cheng Yinni, no matter how big his dissatisfaction was, he could only hide it in his heart and could not vent it.
With a light "snort", Fang Pu twisted his head towards Cheng Yinni again: "City Lord, why did my uncle kill you?"
"Why don't you ask me?" Fang Zheng muttered dissatisfied.
"Because I'm afraid you're going to lie!"
Fang Pu's answer was also so choking, which immediately aroused Fang Zheng's greater dissatisfaction: "Xiaopu, how can you talk to your uncle like this?"
"Okay, okay......" Cheng Yinnie was very kind and comforted: "You two uncles and nephews have been reunited for a long time, don't hurt the harmony of the family for my business, this is not worth it." β
After the table was full of people, Cheng Yinni solemnly put the three letters on the table: "In fact, all the secrets are in these letters. β
Looking at the envelopes with traces of damage but extremely familiar, Ye Zhenli couldn't help but fall into confusion.
"It seems that none of these letters were written to you! Most of them were written by Ji Haitang's father to me and my father...... Could it be that you and Uncle Fang have known each other and have a grudge before?"
"Of course not!" Cheng Yinni immediately gave a negative answer.
"Even if that's the case, do these letters have anything to do with the two of you?" Ye Zhenli questioned again.
Cheng Yinni said: "Of course it has nothing to do with me, but these letters have a lot to do with Ji Haitang, his father Ji Wei and Uncle Fang." β
Fang Zheng's face suddenly became ugly, and his whole body trembled slightly because of his weak heart, even the teacup he held in his hand shook with it, and the tea leaked out inappropriately, soaking a large piece of the tablecloth.
Fang Pu, who was closest to him, looked over worriedly, and the dissatisfaction in his heart had already disappeared: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?
Ye Zhenli said in a word: "This still needs to be asked, it must be a thief!"
This time, Fang Pu didn't make any further rebuttals, but only asked about the content of the letter.
"I can't be sure of the specific reason, but I can guarantee one thing: as early as more than ten years ago, the business of selling Jinwo was no longer under Ji Wei's jurisdiction, and it was replaced by your uncle. β
"What does the city lord mean by this?" Fang Pu showed a puzzled expression.
After opening a letter casually, Cheng Yinni said, "Then I'll be a little simpler...... Therefore, Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the existing uncle of the Fang family coerced Ji Wei's son to force him to become his puppet.
I have to say that Ji Wei is really a very responsible and good father who loves his son very much. At the same time, he was a kind and good man, he was very rich and used it wisely. β
After a pause, he added in a tone full of regret: "Of course, his misfortune also comes from his excessive kindness. He rescued a cold, hungry homeless man in the middle of a bitterly cold night and made him his butler.
But the steward had a crooked mind, and he took a fancy to the inexhaustible wealth of his master's family, and wanted to take it for himself. So he hid him in the name of taking care of the young master, and threatened his master: If he didn't hand over the golden nest, he would lose this son forever.
I have to say, this housekeeper is very smart. He hid the young master in a very hidden place, and no one except him knew where the child was.
For the sake of the child's safety, Ji Wei could only endure the pain of handing over the foundation he had created to the housekeeper, and obey him all the time, not daring to slack off at all. β
