"Left, left team."
He knelt on the ground, his lips trembling, "Captain Zuo, please spare me. I was just forced to do this."
"If you have anything to say, go and talk to the Second Miss." Zuo Fei came over and pulled him out of the kitchen.
When the housekeeper came back from the restroom and saw this scene, he immediately had a bad feeling, "Captain Zuo, what happened?"
"Bring the medicine here." Zuo Fei ordered, then pulled the man away.
The housekeeper suddenly thought of something and walked quickly into the kitchen. When he saw the opened medicine bottle and the paper bag of medicine powder that had fallen next to it, his face suddenly changed.
He slapped himself and said, "I'm going to die. Why is he going to the toilet?"
If Zuo Fei hadn't discovered it by chance, if the head of the family had drunk the medicine, then...
The housekeeper was terrified and hurried out with the medicine.
When they arrived at the study, Zuo Fei threw the man to the ground and told him directly that the young man had drugged him.
After hearing this, An Lan and the elders all looked gloomy.
"Second Miss, I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please spare my life." The young man knelt on the ground and kowtowed to An Lan for mercy.
An Lan leaned back in her chair, her face stern and her eyes cold. "Tell me, who ordered you to do that?"
"I……"
An Lan didn't have the patience to waste time with him and said, "Zuo Fei, send him to the torture chamber. I don't believe we can't pry his mouth open."
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you." Hearing the word "torture hall," the young man panicked, "Yes, it's Young Master Anyang."
"I was forced to do this. Young Master Anyang said that if I didn't do as he said, he would kill me."
Anyang?
An Lan frowned, thinking of the relationship between An Yang and her son, and was a little unconvinced by what the young man said.
The Second Elder said, "Young Master Anyang doesn't look like that kind of person."
An Lan narrowed her eyes. "You said An Yang ordered you to do that. What evidence do you have?"
"It was really Young Master Anyang who asked me to do this. How could a commoner like me have the guts to murder the head of the family? Second Miss, I really didn't lie to you." The man said hurriedly.
"Oh, I remember now. Master Anyang and I met in the bamboo forest a while ago. That's when Master Anyang gave me the medicine. There's surveillance over there, so he should be able to capture it."
Hearing this, An Lan looked at Zuo Fei and said, "Check the surveillance."
Zuo Fei understood and took out his cell phone to send a message to the monitoring room.
After a while, the monitoring room captured the video and sent it over.
Zuo Fei opened the video and saw that Anyang walked into the bamboo forest and the young man followed him in. After a few minutes, the two of them came out of the bamboo forest one after the other.
He showed the video to An Lan and the elders.
The young man knelt on the ground, his eyes full of fear.
He begged for mercy, "Second Miss, I've told you everything. Please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again."
An Lan glanced at him and said to Zuo Fei, "Send him to the torture hall for further trial."
Then she looked at the young man and said, "If you tell a lie, you should know the consequences."
"Second Miss, I am telling the truth. Please forgive me..."
Zuo Fei asked his men to take the man away directly, then looked at An Lan, "Second Miss, how should we deal with Anyang?"
"Things like attempting to murder the head of the family must not be forgiven lightly." The Fourth Elder said, "Regardless of whether it's true or not, I suggest that we detain the person first."
The other elders also meant the same thing.
An Lan thought for a while and said, "Zuo Fei, go and bring An Yang here."
"Yes." Zuo Fei walked out and saw the housekeeper standing at the door with medicine.
"Left Team, I..."
Zuo Fei reached out and took the medicine bowl from him, "Go to the punishment hall and receive your punishment."
"Yes." The butler breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed his fault for being careless this time. It was better to be punished with twenty lashes than to die.
Before going to capture Anyang, Zuo Fei gave the medicine to Lian Xun for inspection.
When Dali learned that Zuo Fei was going to arrest Anyang, his expression was a little conflicted. "Master, Master Anyang is not that kind of person. He would never do such a thing."
Zuo Fei glanced at him and said calmly, "How do you know it's impossible? You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Not everyone is as indifferent to power and status as the young master. They can give up everything, including family and friendship, to get what they want."
He patted Dali's shoulder and said, "The important thing is that someone has accused him now. Until the truth is revealed, we can only temporarily wrong him. The most urgent task now is to quickly find the young master."
He nodded vigorously, "I understand."
…
An Ci slept until the evening.
The old lady made a bowl of noodles for each of them and put a poached egg in it.
The two of them were not picky about food and were very hungry, so they finished the bowl of noodles very quickly.
Shen Mo took the initiative to take over the task of washing the dishes. An Ci looked at the old lady and said softly, "Grandma, I'm sorry to trouble you so much."
