Chapter 48: Interrogating Shen Cong
Lu Yunxi immediately turned her head away, wiped her cheeks with a handkerchief at will, and then raised her head, glanced at Qing'er, and sniffed the tip of her nose, "Can you send someone to detain it?"
"Buckled. Qing'er saw that Lu Yunxi's eyes were red and swollen, and her heart was also tight, don't look over, and looked at Si Tingyan twice.
He looked confused, looking at the master and servant, not knowing what their riddle-like conversation meant.
Lu Yunxi didn't care much, and only saluted Si Tingyan, "Please leave this matter to the son." If there's anything you need me to help you with, just let me know. ”
After speaking, Lu Yunxi instructed Qing'er to send Si Tingyan out of the house, and he was about to go out of the courtyard with his legs.
Seeing this, Qing'er couldn't care so much, and stepped forward in a few steps to block Lu Yunxi's way.
Lu Yunxi raised the corners of her eyebrows in confusion and stared at Qing'er.
"Miss, you're still grounded. At this time, if you go out rashly, I am afraid that the lord will know about it and punish you again. ”
Hearing this, Lu Yunxi also looked embarrassed.
Qing'er's words are good.
I am grounded, I just made such a fuss yesterday, if I leave the house now, I am afraid that it will make Lu Ziyou unhappy.
It's okay for the rest, I'm afraid that Lu Ziyou will be angry for a while and really lock himself up in the mansion, so how can he track down the murder of his mother in the future?
Thinking about it, Lu Yunxi was in a hurry for a while, and turned around several times in place.
Seeing this, Qing'er stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Or the slave maid will order someone to bring him to the mansion and ask?"
"No way!" Lu Yunxi immediately refused, "Isn't that a startling snake? That person is not an important role in the end, I want the person behind him." ”
"That ......"
Qing'er had no choice for a while, standing in place, anxious.
"Miss Lu. Seeing this, Si Tingyan stepped forward slowly, bowed to Lu Yunxi, and said in a low voice, "If you have anything difficult to do, I can do it for you." ”
Hearing this, Lu Yunxi turned his head sideways and stared at Si Tingyan's dark pupils, and there was a little more joy on his face.
Si Tingyan is a good choice!
Thinking about it, Lu Yunxi stepped forward quickly and told Si Tingyan the whole story of the matter one by one, "If you can detain this person, you can tear a hole in him." Whether it's the troublemakers at the time of the opening of the Dye-Tide Pavilion, or the matter of my mother's parents, I think I can make progress. ”
Si Tingyan also nodded knowingly, and saluted, "I'll go with Qing'er, and I will definitely ask this person clearly." ”
"Everything has a son of Laus. ”
After Lu Yunxi finished speaking, he turned his head sideways, raised his chin, and gestured to Qing'er.
Seeing this, Qing'er stepped forward quickly, turned sideways, and made a gesture of invitation to Si Tingyan.
Seeing the two leaving, Lu Yunxi sat down on the stone bench, and another sour feeling surged in his heart.
Although Yun Ran is only the daughter of a merchant, she was also raised by Jin Zun Yugui, but in this squire's mansion, she was killed in vain!
This Shilang's Mansion is really a place where you can't eat people and don't spit out bones!
Qing'er led Si Tingyan all the way to the outside of the money village where Shen Cong was detained.
This Shen Cong had been taken by seven or eight servants to a hut that had been prepared early in the morning, with a gray sack on his head.
He lay on the ground, writhing and squeaking.
Qing'er pointed to the sack and said to Si Tingyan, "I was worried that he was shouting indiscriminately, so I ordered someone to gag his mouth." ”
Si Tingyan nodded, raised his chin, closed the fan in his hand, pointed at the sack with the tip of the fan, and said in a deep voice, "Untie it for him." ”
The little guy on the side untied the sack on Shen Cong's head.
Only then did he take the rag stuffed in his mouth, and Shen Cong scolded, "Which way are you on the road? Dare to do something to me Shen Congshen's second master, and you don't ask who I am, don't be afraid ......."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the little guy on one side step forward, raised his hand and slapped him hard.
When did Shen Cong suffer such a loss?
I was beaten for a while, don't look over, and stare at the little guy who did it in surprise.
Si Tingyan chuckled, squatted down, and looked at Shen Cong's cheeks that were a little deformed because of anger, "Shen Cong? ”
The light was too dim just now, and Shen Cong saw Si Tingyan's face clearly at this moment.
He instantly bared his teeth, his cheeks moved a little closer to Si Tingyan's face, and said in a loud voice, "Who did I think it was! It turned out to be you! I have no grievances with your Xinglin Pavilion, why do you want to arrest me?"
Si Tingyan shook his head and stretched out his hand to Qing'er, but his eyes were still staring at Shen Cong, "Today's matter has nothing to do with Xinglin Pavilion, I have something to ask you." ”
Qing'er had already placed a money bag in the palm of Si Tingyan's hand.
Si Tingyan weighed it, took out a silver ingot from the money bag, and shook it twice in front of Shen Cong, "Shen Cong, do you know what the crime of stealing the official family's silver is?"
"What kind of theft? What nonsense are you talking about, I don't understand!" Shen Cong said, don't look over, don't look at Si Tingyan.
"Not stealing?" Si Tingyan snorted coldly, turned over the ingot of silver, and pointed to the sign on the silver, "This is the mark of the Shilang Mansion." If you hadn't stolen it, where did it come from?"
"Yes......"
Shen Cong was about to blurt out, but when he thought of something, he stopped talking again, "Anyway, it's not stealing!"
"Shen Cong, who will believe what you say?" The corners of Si Tingyan's lips twitched, revealing an indifferent smile, "The silver of this Shilang Mansion came to you for no reason, you said that it was not stolen, could it be that Lord Shilang personally handed it to you?"
Shen Cong turned his back to Si Tingyan, "Anyway...... I didn't steal it anyway. ”
"In that case, Qing'er, go and report to the official. As he spoke, Si Tingyan stood up and walked out.
"What is the official doing?" Seeing this, Shen Cong was taken aback and said in a loud voice.
"Since you refuse to tell the origin of this silver, I can only report to the official. Shen Cong, don't blame me for not reminding you. This theft of official silver will be punished by five years in prison, and the heavy responsibility will be assigned to the frontier. You have been showing off your military might in the capital for a long time, and I don't need to go into detail about how many people you have offended, right? Think about it carefully, if those people know that you have been arrested by the government, won't all those grudges in the past have to take advantage of this time to settle a clear understanding with you?"
When Shen Cong heard this, his heart tightened.
He lowered his head, drooped his eyelids, put his two hands together, and thought for a long time before he raised his head and looked at Si Tingyan, "However, I really didn't steal this silver." In fact, it was given to me by Song Lan, the eldest lady of the Shilang Mansion. ”
"Why does our lady give silver?" Qing'er took Shen Cong's words, raised the corners of her eyebrows, stared at Shen Cong with a little displeasure, and said in a deep voice.
