In the dense night, the light of the torch reflected Amo's face. Half of his body was in the dark, and the other half was illuminated by the fire. Coupled with his pair of blue pupils that were different from ordinary people, the whole person showed a A sense of both good and evil, light and dark.

"By the way, I forgot that you can't talk." Zhu Yu's tone was cold because of disappointment. He turned around and went into the room to get a pen and paper, handed it to Fuman who was full of complacency, and said, "Here he."

Fuman took the pen and paper, and threw it directly in front of Amo. The brush was full of ink, and the ink was splashed on Amo's face. He was pressed to the ground by several servants, let alone writing. , unable to move his body, he raised his head slightly and looked at Zhu Yu with an indifferent expression.

"Let me ask you, where are you going tonight?" Zhu Yu squatted down, looked at A Mo at the same level, and then said to the servant, "Let him go and let him write."

"How can we do that! If he flies again, how can we catch him!"

Fuman became anxious and shouted to stop Zhu Yu, but Zhu Yu ignored Fuman at all and repeated what he said just now, "Let him go."

Zhu Yu's voice was obviously filled with suppressed anger, and the servants quickly let go of their hands when they saw this, A Mo slowly stood up from the ground, and stood silently on the spot.He didn't pick up the pen and paper on the ground, but just looked at Zhu Yu quietly.

"Pick it up." Zhu Yu said, with a tone of command.

"Did you hear that, our young master told you to pick up the pen!" Fuman shouted at Amo with a face of contempt. He has long disliked Amo these days, and today is a bad breath, but he must be good Showing off his might, if Zhu Yu wasn't on the sidelines, he would have gone up and stomped on A Mo's face a few times.

"I'm talking about you." Zhu Yu turned to look at Fuman with frost in his eyes, "Pick it up and hand it to him."

"Why me..." Fuman couldn't bear it anymore. He bent down reluctantly, picked up the pen and paper he had just thrown out, and stuffed it on Amo's body. He didn't go to pick up the pen and paper, and the thing fell to the ground again, and the pen barrel was broken.

"You lowly slave! How dare you refuse to take the pen and paper that the young master gave you?" Fu yelled angrily, "What do you think you are? Did you give you shame? I don't know how arrogant you are? You are just a slave It's just a lowly slave bought in the market!"

"Shut up!" Zhu Yu felt that Fuman's words were extremely harsh. Even if Amo had kept a lot of secrets from him, he didn't want to hear someone say that about Amo. He suddenly realized that he no longer regarded Amo as a servant. Looking at it, as for Amo's position in his heart, he was confused for a moment.

Yeah, why is he so angry?If he was in the past, he would probably have executed Amo long ago, so why would he go to war so violently?What exactly does he want to see Armor write?

Zhu Yu ordered Fuman to fetch a new pen and paper again, and handed it to A Mo, but A Mo still didn't pick it up.Zhu Yu only felt that the anger in his heart was gradually expanding. Could it be that Amo's care and consideration for him before were all fake, and everything was really as Fuman said, just looking for opportunities to rob Zhu with bandits government?

The tragedy of Zhu's family being destroyed in the previous life is vivid in my mind, the scorching flames seem to be still burning my skin, the words of my father before he died, and the sharp pain when I was stabbed in my heart, all of them are like a revolving lantern in Zhu Yu's eyes. It appeared in front of my eyes, making Zhu Yu even more difficult to breathe, and trembling all over.

"Do you want to write or not?" Zhu Yu pulled out the horsewhip from his waist, and slowly pointed at Amo, "Or do you want to try the taste of the horsewhip?"

Amo stood there without moving, and the expression on his face was unwavering. It seemed that he had no intention of writing at all.Zhu Yu's patience finally disappeared, he raised his whip high, and was about to drop it on A Mo's body.

Snapped!There was a crisp sound of the whip, and the whip fell, but it didn't hit any part of Amo's body, but hit the ground only a few centimeters away from Amo.At the last moment when the whip fell, Zhu Yu abruptly changed the direction of the whip.

"Lock him up."

Zhu Yu tried his best not to sound so trembling, he didn't want to see A Mo's eyes that seemed to be breathtaking, or—— he didn't want to see A Mo who was hiding something from him.

Amo didn't resist when he was taken away by his servants, he didn't even look at Zhu Yu again, the light of the torch gradually disappeared into the night with him, Zhu Yu's whole body was shrouded in darkness, his eyes were pitch black, he couldn't see anything gone.

***

It will be Zhu Yu's birthday in a week, and everyone in the mansion began to prepare. In the past, Zhu Yu's birthday banquet was quite grand. The mansion would invite the most famous theater troupe in the city, not to mention the guests. Invite some foreign dancers to perform exotic dances.

However, due to the impact of the war this year, foreign dancers could not be invited. In order to make up for it, Mr. Zhu specially invited some famous singers from the main city, thinking of adding to the fun of Zhu Yu's birthday banquet.

The guests at the banquet are naturally insiders, and Mr. Zhu will send invitations on time every year. Businessmen who want to do business with Zhu's house will naturally not give up such a great opportunity. They will bring generous gifts when they come to congratulate, so Every year when Zhu Yu celebrates his birthday, Zhu's house will receive gifts with soft hands, and the warehouse will not be able to pile them up.

When Zhu's house was busy, it was the day when Amo was imprisoned. These days, Zhu Yu would ask people to send paper and pens in, but he never saw Amo write a word. Amo only ate a small amount every day. For the rest of the time, he just sat against the wall in silence. Zhu Yu questioned him several times, and only A Mo’s eyes responded to him. Zhu Yu couldn’t understand what the eyes were trying to express. Why are you so upset.

"Young master, young master, look at the guest list this time. They are all famous and famous people! They are all here for you, young master. Look at how face you are!" Fu Man excitedly ran to Zhu Yu and handed him Being on the list, he has been busy these few days for Zhu Yu's birthday banquet, so he has done his duty.

"Did people come here after me?" Zhu Yu glanced at the list casually and pushed it to Fuman, "They came here after my father and Zhu's business, I still understand the truth of."

"Hey, no matter what they came here for, don't you want to congratulate the young master on a happy birthday?" Fuman put away the list and said, "It's a pity that Zhufu, who would come here every year, didn't even let the invitation come this year." Sent, it seems that the master is really angry, but Zhu's mansion is also, how dare you frame our Zhu's mansion, and now you have broken ties with our Zhu's mansion, and the business is not easy to do, it's really self-inflicted."

"Don't talk nonsense, what evidence is there that Zhu Mansion framed us?" Zhu Yu retorted, "I haven't bothered to investigate the mole these few days. Does my father have any clues?"

"This matter is really progressing. I only heard yesterday that the master fired several shopkeepers. It seems that because of the incident last time, it was said that those shopkeepers deliberately planned it out of their own interests!" Fuman replied. .

"Did my father say who was behind those shopkeepers?" Zhu Yu frowned and asked.

"This is embarrassing, how could the master tell me about such a big matter." Fuman scratched his head and said.

This is also true. Mr. Zhu was able to get to where he is today, naturally there are some means. It is extremely embarrassing to have an insider in the family, and he will definitely not publicize it. Zhu Yu himself asked his father several times. The old man avoided answering, and that humble Fuman naturally wouldn't know more than Zhu Yu.

"Forget it," Zhu Yu sighed, "Amo, he still refuses to write anything?"

"That lowly slave didn't even look at the pen and paper that was delivered every day. He beat him and scolded him. He didn't move like a stone. In my opinion, young master, you just throw him into the wilderness." Hey wolf, if he is really an informant of bandits, if he is eaten by wolves, he will not harm us, right?" Fuman said with a full stomach of resentment.

"You must not abuse lynching, Fuman, I remember you said before that Ah Mo can fly, right?" Zhu Yu looked out the window, the sky is gloomy today, covered with heavy clouds, "Then why doesn't he leave this place? Woolen cloth?"

"We are guarded every day, where can he go?" Fuman looked at Zhu Yu suspiciously, "He can't fly even if he wants to, the young master doesn't want him to go, so naturally he can't go."

"I don't want him to go...so he can't go?" Zhu Yu repeated this sentence, and suddenly laughed, "That's how it is."

"Young master, you've been acting strange recently. Do you care so much about that lowly slave?" Fuman said sourly, "When you were unhappy before, it was because of Master Zhu, but now you have changed."

"Have you investigated what I asked you to investigate?" Zhu Yu directly ignored Fuman's words and asked.

"Of course you don't dare to neglect what the young master ordered. We have been guarding the past few days until almost dawn, but we haven't heard the sound of a night cat meowing, and there is no suspicious person outside the wall. Maybe we have noticed some wind." Fuman said , "Or we can send Amo to the government and let the government investigate carefully, maybe we can find out something."

That's right, sending it to the government is the most appropriate way. Amo can't speak, and he refuses to write. No one knows where he went at night, who he met, and what he did. Amo sent to the government...

"Fuman, if we want to send A Mo to the government, then what are we charged with?" Zhu Yu murmured.

"Then you don't even need to think about it. It must be bandits who intend to commit crimes against the Zhu family." Fuman replied, "Don't worry, the prefect has taken so much money from our Zhu family, and he will definitely investigate."

"Yes, the government will definitely investigate carefully." Zhu Yu said, but he didn't feel relaxed in his heart. He looked at the small table in his room, where there used to be a dish cooked by Amo every day, but now But it has been empty for many days, just like Zhu Yu at this moment, his heart is empty.

"The government's punishment is so severe that the dumb can be forced to make a sound. Let's see if that lowly slave will be recruited!" Fuman was still talking, but Zhu Yu didn't want to hear it anymore. He waved his hand to signal to Fuman Shut up.

"I'll discuss the matter of sending Ah Mo to the government later." Zhu Yu rubbed her temples and closed her eyes slightly, "I just want to have a good birthday right now."
