"Chunxiao, the Jade Buddha is gone, why did you say it was stolen, who do you suspect?"

Chunxiao calmly glanced up at Zhou Huaiyu, as if looking at an idiot, "Big girl, the Jade Buddha is gone, in addition to being stolen by someone, can it be that the Jade Buddha himself is hidden?"

Zhou Huaiyu continued to ask: "From last night to this morning, where were you and what did you do?"

"Back to the eldest girl, after the curfew last night, the slave went back to the room to sleep, until this morning, I learned that the Jade Buddha was gone, and then I hurried to tell the old lady, during which I didn't go anywhere, I didn't do anything!" The last sentence of the voice suddenly heavy, as if to tell Zhou Huaiyu that she had nothing to do with the theft of the Jade Buddha. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yan's belief in Buddhism, there is a special small Buddha hall at home, in which there are large and small Buddha statues, many of which are more noble than the Jade Buddha, but because the Jade Buddha was given to the old lady by the old marquis, so the status in the old lady's heart is not ordinary. Moreover, jade is fragile and not easy to sell, if it is really a thief who steals it, then wouldn't some bright golden Buddha be better than the jade Buddha?

Zhou Huaiyu boldly guessed that the person who "stole" the Jade Buddha must be someone who knows the situation of the Zhou family very well, and the real purpose may not be to steal and sell money, but to make the Yan family angry, of course, the object of this anger has to be her.

Isn't it "stealing"?

"Chunxiao, from last night to this morning, are all the slaves on duty in the Little Buddha Hall here?"

"They are all kneeling outside, the old lady lost the Jade Buddha, and blamed these things for not caring about them, so the slave and maid directly punished them to kneel outside and wait for the delivery. ”

Zhou Huaiyu nodded, "Xiao Tao, go and call the person in charge of the small Buddha Hall to come in." ”

After a while, a middle-aged woman in her forties came in, and the mother-in-law knelt on the ground with her body shaking, and opened her mouth to shout: "Old lady, madam, the slave and maid are wronged, wronged!"

"Shut up!" Zhou Huaiyu interrupted the mother-in-law's crying, "From now on, I will ask you to answer, and I won't say a word for others, remember, when answering, don't hesitate, if you hesitate, Xiao Tao, slap your mouth!"

Xiao Tao didn't say anything, but stepped forward directly and stood beside the woman, motionless like a mountain.

has been on the mountain for two months, don't look at Xiao Tao looks thin and small, one arm is a wooden bucket full of water, pick it up and leave, it is like playing, which makes Zhou Huaiyu admire. If she is beaten by Xiao Tao, I am afraid that this mother-in-law's face will be swollen for at least a day.

Sure enough, this sentence made the woman immediately stop talking, and swept back and forth on Zhou Huaiyu and Su's faces with a frightened expression.

At this time, Zhou Huaiyu had already spoken: "What's your name?"

"The slave husband's family name is Zuo. ”

"When did you lock the lock last night?" After the curfew, unless there are special circumstances, there are no special circumstances, and all courtyards must be locked and returned to the room and must not move around.

"At the beginning of the day. "The Hou Mansion of Wu'an stipulates that there is a curfew.

"Has anyone ever been in and out of the small Buddha hall again?"

"No one. ”

"Did you hear any special movements?"

"I didn't hear anything. ”

"Look up at me, can you promise that if I find out you're lying, believe it or not I'll cut out your tongue!"

The mother-in-law's expression was quite calm, but when she heard that Zhou Huaiyu was going to cut off her tongue, she immediately closed her mouth in fright and glanced at Su Shi quickly.

Zhou Huaiyu immediately laughed, "What do you think your mother does? Expect your mother to intercede for you when the time comes?Or, are you lying?" The last sentence Zhou Huaiyu said very slowly, and stared at her mother-in-law deadly, as if she wanted to see her through.

The woman was so frightened that she waved her hand again and again, "Big girl Mingjian, the slave didn't lie, didn't lie." ”

Zhou Huaiyu put his hand on his lips and made a "silence" gesture, and the mother-in-law quickly closed her mouth, but she still kept shaking her head. Zhou Huaiyu smiled and said, "I'll give you one last chance, are you willing to answer my question just now?"

The woman seemed to hesitate, opened her mouth, and finally closed her teeth again.

Zhou Huaiyu snorted coldly, and Xiao Tao immediately stepped forward at this time.

"Slap", the crisp and loud slap echoed in everyone's ears, and the woman had already covered her face and fell to the ground in horror.

In front of the old lady and the lady, the eldest girl really let a second-class maid slap her, you know, she has been serving by the old lady's side for more than ten years, and the Buddha statue in this small Buddha hall was not placed by her personally?

Zhou Huaiyu pointed casually, "You go over there and kneel facing the wall now, and from now on, don't say a word again." ”

The mother-in-law was full of resentment towards Zhou Huaiyu at this time, and when she heard this, she went to kneel down on the wall angrily, and when she walked to Chunxiao's side, she glanced at her.

None of this escaped Zhou Huaiyu's eyes.

It's another one.

"Who was in charge of the night watch in the small Buddha hall last night?" The Buddha statues placed in the small Buddha hall are either gold and silver, or jade, and even a small lamp holder is inlaid with precious stones, so there are two night guards every night.

Chunxiao is also a person from the small Buddha Hall, seeing that his own people were slapped by Zhou Huaiyu's little maid, he was already so angry that he gritted his teeth, and when he heard her question, he didn't even bother to answer, he turned around and left directly, and brought two little maids in after a while. The two little maidens were both in their teens, one of them had a pointed chin and slightly taller eyes, which were dripping and shrewd, and the other was thin and small, and the other was holding his hands and drooping his eyes, looking a little clumsy.

"Trouble Miss Chunxiao to take this little maid to the outside of the courtyard first, you must go farther, don't let her hear the problems inside, I will separate them for interrogation. Zhou Huaiyu pointed to the short maid, Chunxiao turned to leave, the little maid seemed a little overwhelmed, and then cautiously followed Chunxiao and walked out.

The little girl who was left behind smiled proudly.

Compared with the stupidity of the silkworm, sure enough, the masters like her cleverness more. And she smiled even more.

Looking at the little girl's appearance that she was not afraid at all, Zhou Huaiyu also smiled: "What is the little girl's name?"

"Back to the eldest girl, the slave is called the little finch. ”

"Little Sparrow, what a nice name, as clever as your person, I think you also know what is the reason for calling you to ask, don't be afraid, just say what you have to say, say well, this girl will award you two taels of silver!"

As soon as he heard that there was still silver, and it was two taels of silver, Xiaoque's eyes immediately widened, and he was about to kowtow to thank the master for his reward, when he saw that the original smiling master's face suddenly changed.

"However, you also have to remember that don't hesitate when answering, if you dare to hesitate for half a point, not only will you not be able to get the money, but you will also be driven out of the house by pulling out your tongue!"

Xiao Que, who was smiling with a smile on his face, suddenly turned snow-white, stared at Zhou Huaiyu with big eyes and frightened, and became short of breath.
