Chapter 172: The Jiang Family's Tricks
Who made him do it, to be honest, the guy himself didn't know, he only knew that the man was angry when he looked at it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info suddenly appeared in front of him that day, and then gave him a large handful of silver, and didn't let him do anything, just let him think of a big fire next to the Xiao family's treasury.
It doesn't matter whether the warehouse can be lit or not, but this fire must be big.
Someone supported the man to act, Xiao Chuxuan had already guessed it early on, but she really didn't expect that the envoy's original intention was not to burn down the warehouse, but to light a large enough fire on the edge of the warehouse.
After making sure that what the guy said was the truth, Xiao Chusu directly ordered the third shopkeeper to escort this master to the firewood room and lock him up, and then Ming'er would send this person to the official office. This guy, although hateful, but what Xiao Chuxuan said just now was just to scare, and after making sure that this guy was telling the truth, she didn't bother to see this annoying face. Leaving the affairs of the guys to the three shopkeepers, Xiao Chusu returned to Xiao's mansion.
People went back to Xiaofu, but they didn't have the intention of sleeping, after all, who secretly supported the fire in the cloth workshop, she can't be clear now, how can she have the heart to sleep? After returning to the Xiao Mansion and entering the study directly, he sat down for a long time, and he really looked at the eldest lady and thought for a long time, and Xiang Zhu, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help but say.
"Miss, let's rest today, I really want to think about it, and it's too late to think about it tomorrow."
The eldest lady doesn't care for her body like this, Xiang Zhu really can't stand it, but Xiang Zhu's persuasion can't get into Xiao Chu's ears. The lock twisted his eyebrows, rested his elbows on the table, raised his hand and gently rubbed his eyebrows, that is, his eyebrows were locked to the extreme, Xiao Chusu said suddenly.
"Xiangzhu, who did what you said this time?"
"This ...... Xiang Zhu really didn't dare to guess. ”
The guy said it there is equivalent to not saying it, and the one or two that the eldest lady guessed in her heart are not people who can be wronged casually, so Xiao Chu's questioning, Xiang Zhu did not dare to judge. In response to this, Xiang Zhu said: "That guy didn't know whose support he had received, but he was greedy when he saw that large handful of silver, so he asked someone to use it." And the secret envoy is also cunning, and if he wants to come to the middle, he is afraid that it is not a person from his family, and now it is even more difficult to guess. ”
"Indeed, if it is as I guess, it is impossible to leave too many clues. The person who is the opposite of the buddy is categorically impossible to be his own person, and it is like this that it is difficult to determine. ”
I thought that the guy might be able to say something, but the thief who made the move was a first-class treacherous master, and he didn't let his own people contact the guy at all. Even if the guy asks himself to pull it out, this vine will only be a broken vine.
Such a cunning person really makes people feel more and more angry the more they think about it, and the color below them sinks a lot, and even the breath is pressed because of this heaviness. This incident is by no means ordinary, so who is behind the scenes, Xiao Chuxuan has to find out.
Knowing the temperament of the eldest lady, I know that if I can't determine this person, I'm afraid there will be no possibility of sleeping peacefully. Therefore, after listening to Xiao Chuxuan's gritted teeth, Xiang Zhu also tilted his head and thought.
"I haven't left too many clues, but as long as I have done it, I will definitely leave a trace. The eldest lady can't find anything from the guy right now, so why not change the way and leave this matter to the fourth young master. ”
"You mean to hand over this matter to Chu Rui?"
Xiang Zhu's words made Xiao Chu a little confused, and when he looked at Xiang Zhu at the moment, he didn't know for a while. Also because of the eldest lady's difficult fascination, Xiang Zhu said with a smile: "It seems that the eldest lady should really have a good rest, such an obvious thing has been ignored." ”
"What's the matter, if there's a way, say it quickly, I don't have the heart to joke with you now."
Xiang Zhu immediately said, don't be annoyed. Although the guy we found out today didn't say anything, but didn't the guy also say it, the one who gave him money to do an errand was a man who was angry. The most popular person in Kyoto is the Kidnapper Alley in the north of the city, and this person may be able to find out what the kidnapper alley is. ”
One mind is wondering what the He family did this time, but he threw this obvious clue out of the clouds. Because of Xiang Zhu's reminder, Xiao Chuxuan suddenly said: "Yes, how did I forget the guy who docked with the guy, the guy didn't know who supported him, but the one who gave him the silver didn't necessarily know." As long as this person is found out, who did this thing will be cleared. ”
People are like this sometimes, when it is clear that the solution to one thing is in front of them, but they will always go around in a big circle, which is time-consuming and laborious. Because of Xiang Zhu's reminder, Xiao Chushu was clear at the moment, his mind flashed suddenly, and then he looked at Xiang Zhu, Xiao Chusu said.
"Xiangzhu, immediately send someone to the cloth workshop, and ask the three shopkeepers not to rush to send that guy to the yamen. And tomorrow morning, you go to the market and look around, be sure to find a good one. As for Chu Rui, let him go to Kidnapping Alley tomorrow and invite Chen Liuxiang over. I have to think of a picture of the person I met with my buddy that day, and then ask this Chen Gongzi to be a good student to identify, but he is a person from Abduction Lane. ”
Xiao Chu's words fell, Xiang Zhu hurriedly responded, and after responding, he no longer delayed, but hurriedly went out to advise.
The next day, the third shopkeeper brought the guy into Xiao's mansion according to Xiao Chu's wishes, and Xiang Zhu had already asked people to go to the market to find a scholar with good work. As for Chu Rui, the eldest sister's affairs should be followed, although the landlord of Kidnapping Lane is not a good one, but fortunately, Chu Rui is also a friend with him, so Xiao Churui's words of trust have just fallen, and this Chen Liuxiang responded to his invitation and came to Xiao's mansion.
Chen Liuxiang, who has always heard of this kidnapping alley, is the first time to meet today, I thought this should be a rude overlord, but now I look at it head-on, and it is not as I thought, although it is a little angry, but it can still be on the table in appearance. If this is put aside, Xiao Chuxuan will definitely have to take a closer look, after all, this person and his fourth brother can talk very well.
It's just that right now, the person who meets the guy is the one who matters, so Xiao Chuxuan only glanced at it a few times, and then ordered the guy to carefully depict the appearance of the man, and then the scholar painted it.
Although the guy doesn't know the man, fortunately, his memory is okay, and Xiang Zhu is a person who can do things, and the scholar he found is really good. So after thinking about it, he drew the appearance of that person, and after the scholar's pen fell, Xiao Huan stepped forward to take the danqing to Chen Liuxiang.
took Danqing and looked at it carefully, and Chu Rui, who was sitting next to him, was also idle, and he refused to slow down half a step when he saw that the painting had been completed. After getting together with Chen Liuxiang, he looked at the person on the painting with him.
Although this Danqing is painted according to the man's depiction, it also paints a bit of charm, and after a careful examination, Chu Rui frowned and said: "This person, he looks a little familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere." ”
I always felt that this person looked familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a while, because I thought about it, I locked my eyebrows, and my face was slightly suspicious, but I couldn't think of where this person had seen it after thinking for a while, Chu Rui turned his head directly to look at Chen Liuxiang, and then asked: "Brother Chen, are you familiar with this person?" ”
did not answer, but twisted his eyebrows to look at the person in the painting, and it was like this that he stared at about a cup of tea, and Chen Liuxiang's eyebrows were obviously locked deeper. The eyebrows were deeply locked, obviously remembering something because of the painting, and when he saw that Chen Liuxiang's face was obviously inappropriate, Chu Rui couldn't bear it anymore, and asked again.
"Do you recognize a word, and don't squeak for a long time, do you want to die in a hurry?"
Chu Rui is not a forbearant master, so he waited for a long time and didn't see Chen Liuxiang speak, and he couldn't wait. It was Chen Liuxiang, Xu listened to Chu Rui's unhappy urge, but also nodded and said.
"This person has been haunted in Kidnapping Alley."
"Really!" As soon as he heard that Chen Liuxiang had seen this person, Chu Rui's eyes lit up instantly, and even Xiao Chu's eyes flashed. With his eyes lit up, his face was already blooming like a flower, and Chu Rui hurriedly said: "Where have you seen it, you should say it quickly, my sister is looking for this thief urgently." ”
"Although this person is from Kidnapper Lane, he is not a person who is easy to catch, if he just asks the Xiao family to find it, I am afraid he will not be able to find it."
There are not only ruffians and hooligans in Kidnapper Alley, but also many people who really have real skills, so Chen Liuxiang's words are backward, and Xiao Chu's eyebrows have shrunk. It was Chu Rui, who didn't realize that this was a difficult thing at all, but responded instead.
"What's this, the young master doesn't have you, but it's just a thief, I don't want to disappoint Brother Chen."
"Since the fourth prince has spoken, of course I will not disappoint you."
"Good brother."
As soon as he saw Chen Liuxiang's response, Chu Rui's eyebrows and eyes were about to fly, and there was even a little smug in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Chuxuan. This bastard boy in his own family has made people brothers with all his heart, but this land tyrant is obviously ......
Chu Rui in the hall didn't see anything, but Xiao Chu in the hall saw that it was called a Qingming, this Chen Gongzi, and he really treated his fourth brother very well. Although as the eldest sister, this kind of thing should be curbed, but now she really has to rely on Chen Liuxiang's help, so this is one thing.
I didn't see it for the time being.
Chen Liuxiang was already in response, Xiao Chu thanked himself, and after thanking him with the support of Xiangzhu, Chen Liuxiang left Xiao's house.
is the land tyrant of Kidnapping Alley, and has his own set of methods, although that person is not easy to find, and it is not easy to catch, but Chen Liuxiang personally took action, as long as it is in Kidnapping Alley, there is nothing he can't find and can't catch. But after a day's work, the person who made Xiao Chu was extraordinarily interested has been firmly tied to the Xiao Mansion.
For the person who paid the money and entrusted the gang to set fire to the murder, after the guy identified and determined that it was this person, Xiao Chuxuan directly pried out from his mouth who entrusted this matter.
Xiao Chusu is a woman, this person has a hard temper, naturally it is impossible for Xiao Chusu to answer what he wants to know. People are hard, how can Chen Liuxiang obviously intend to help, others may still be a little stubborn, but this Chen Liuxiang, who in the kidnapping alley is not afraid of his prestige.
I don't know if Chen Liuxiang has been called in the kidnapping alley, so there is no need for Xiao Chushu to bother thinking about sending it to the Xiao Mansion, and he will answer after asking.
This person's confession verified Xiao Chushu's previous conjecture, and because the matter had been cleared, Xiao Chusu directly sent the two people from Uncle Lian's office. As for her, she sat down and pondered this one thing.
I have long been suspicious in my heart, but it is difficult to determine who did it, but now the confession of that man has revealed the person who instructed him. After hearing the man's words, Xiang Zhu's face was also uneasy, and he felt angry in his heart, looking at the eldest lady who was silent, Xiang Zhu said.
"Miss, report to the official."
"Reporter? What officer? ”
"Naturally, it was the burning of our cloth workshop, and Xiangzhu really couldn't imagine that this Jiang family could really do such an evil thing. The fact that he bribed the men in our cloth workshop with money and set fire to the edge of the treasury is so bad that he can't bear it. If you don't report to the government today, you can't guarantee that there won't be more disasters next time. ”
This arson was instigated by the Jiang family behind the scenes, and the Jiang family had already set up a trap to destroy the Xiao family's business. Now he is taking advantage of the eldest lady's return to her hometown to worship her ancestors and is not in Kyoto, and she is doing such an unsightly evil thing behind her back. If there is one, there will be two, and who knows when there will be another three.
For this Jiang family, Xiang Zhu is angry, and he must report to the official if he mentions it. It's just that Xiang Zhu reported to the official this time, but Xiao Chusu's eyebrows were locked tighter, looking at Xiang Zhu, the micro village was half loud, Xiao Chusu said: "You said to report to the official, then you should say, how do we report?" ”
"Now that we have someone to testify, is it possible that the Jiang family cannot be convicted?"
"It's just this witness, Xiang Zhu, do you really think you can count? There are only human witnesses and no physical evidence, and the Jiang family will definitely not admit it. Xiangzhu, don't forget, the Jiang family is not an ordinary family in Kyoto, even if they report the case, it is impossible for Lord Luo to punish him, since he can gain a foothold in Kyoto, there are more or less hidden people behind him. Lord Luo is a Qing official, and he will never use our words to punish the Jiang family when the evidence is insufficient. Besides......"
"What are you talking about?"
"Besides, since the Jiang family dares to do it, they must have made full preparations, and it is not easy to find evidence of their crimes. What's more, this time, with the two so-called human witnesses we have at hand, don't say that we can't sue the Jiang family, maybe we will have to ask someone to beat me up at that time. Frowning tightly, Xiao Chu said with a solemn face.
It's a trivial matter if she can't tell the Jiang family, but now what she is worried about is that not only will she not be able to sue at that time, but she will also cause a commotion for herself.
Xiao Chushu didn't understand what he said, so he also asked, and Xiao Chushu sighed after asking.
"Don't forget, the cloth shop didn't have an accident this time, don't say it's a person, and you haven't burned a single or two pieces of cloth. If we bring our own guys to the yamen to complain, you feel that you are the treacherous person of the head of the Jiang family, but you take advantage of the situation to beat a rake, saying that we deliberately framed and deliberately made false accusations. ”
There was no loss, no evidence, just a guy from the cloth mill and a ruffian from Kidnappers Alley. Relying on these two people alone, they want to sue the Jiang family for evil, which is simply a fool's dream.
This matter was angry, but he didn't think of this, and now that Xiao Chu opened his mouth, Xiang Zhu suddenly realized that this matter was really not something that could be sued if he wanted to. When it was already sinking below, Xiang Zhu said, "So forget it?" ”
"Naturally, this matter can't be settled like this, it's just ......"
"Miss, can you still bear the side?"
"Hmm." Ying nodded, and with a slightly long response, Xiao Chu muttered: "I just always feel that this matter is not like this, and the head of the Jiang family is probably not just as simple as setting fire to the warehouse." ”
