Chapter 59: It's hard to argue
Unfortunately, she guessed wrong. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Chunqiao really invited the big butler.
When Cheng Yizhi saw Zhong Liyue, all the skin on his skull was pulled together. As soon as he entered the door, he muttered: "I just said that you are a trouble, and Zhao Yan will not believe it!" ”
Zhong Liyue stood up with interest, her current identity is a maidservant, and there is no reason to sit when she sees the big housekeeper. This group of people is looking for her fault everywhere, and she needs to be careful not to be talked about.
"Is the chief butler here to interrogate, or is he moving to the front hall?" Chun Qiao asked respectfully with his head down.
"Forget it, didn't you say that the evidence was conclusive? Take it for me to see. Cheng Yizhi almost confirmed what Chun Qiao said in his heart.
Chun Qiao looked at Nian Qiu and ordered, "Bring over the eldest young master's collection of books and silver." ”
"Yes." Nianqiu nodded, glanced at Zhong Liyue embarrassedly, and dragged the book in her hand with stiff movements, and sent it to Cheng Yizhi with the silver.
Zhong Liyue glanced at them calmly, waiting for the group of beam-jumping clowns to start the performance.
Cheng Yizhi has long been accustomed to Zhong Liyue's appearance of 'dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water', and he has also deeply understood her argumentative ability, so he doesn't bother to care about her attitude. Glancing at the 'evidence', Cheng Yizhi put his hands behind his back and asked in an arrogant tone, "Where did the rest go?" ”
Zhong Liyue secretly rolled her eyes and didn't speak.
"Ask you! Why not? Cheng Yizhi said angrily.
Zhong Liyue pretended to be surprised and looked at Cheng Yizhi, "Is the big housekeeper asking the slave?" ”
"Who's not asking, you're asking? Didn't you steal it? Cheng Yizhi said anxiously.
Zhong Liyue smiled and said in a leisurely tone: "The slave didn't steal anything. ”
"People get stolen goods, you can't deny it!" Chun Qiao's voice was not loud, but his tone was unusually cruel.
Zhong Liyue didn't understand what happened to Chunqiao today, and she couldn't understand where she offended her, so in the face of all this in front of her, she always felt that they were joking with her, so her tone was more casual: "Big housekeeper, even if it's going through the motions, you should first ask the protagonist of this case about the cause of the whole thing, right?" Although Chun Qiao must have reported to you on the way here, it doesn't seem appropriate to use this kind of opening statement when you see the protagonist of this case, right? The chief butler is not afraid of being deceived and wronged a good person? ”
As soon as he heard Zhong Liyue's tirade about going around in circles, Cheng Yizhi's head hurt unconsciously, and he said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense!" I'm a big butler, can I teach me how to do things? ”
"But the chief butler rushed up and asked, 'Where did the rest go?' Zhong Liyue pretended not to understand.
Cheng Yizhi secretly gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "I'm asking you, apart from these, where are the rest of the stolen thieves hidden by you?" ”
Zhong Liyue shrugged, since he didn't want to communicate, then forget it. So his face immediately turned cold, and his proud tone was mixed with a trace of disdain: "Based on Chun Qiao's words alone, the big housekeeper thinks that the slave is stealing, is it too arbitrary?" ”
Cheng Yizhi pursed his mouth and said, "Okay, then let me ask you, where did this book come from?" And this silver? ”
Zhong Liyue said simply and clearly: "The book was borrowed by the slave maid from the eldest young master, and when he comes back, he will know whether it is true or false." These two taels of silver were earned by the slaves and maids selling things on the street before they entered the house, so they were bits and pieces, not whole. ”
Cheng Yizhi scoffed: "Tell me how your country daughter's family earned this money." On the day your sister burned down the kitchen, why didn't you take out the money to pay off the debt? ”
Zhong Liyue avoided the weight and said lightly: "These two taels of silver are simply not worth mentioning in front of the huge debt of three hundred taels, what can you do with it?" ”
"Your father was so frightened that he fainted, and in a hurry, you have money, will you not say it? If you have the ability to earn two taels of silver, why is it difficult to earn three hundred taels? But you are willing to be a maid, don't you have ulterior motives? ”
Cheng Yizhi is also a little clever, and this time the question is very good.
Zhong Liyue was speechless for a while.
She can't tell everyone that she was willing to sell herself into slavery in order to escape marriage, right?
Who believes?
It's hard to argue this time.
Cheng Yiyi saw Zhong Liyue's dumb mouth, and his heart suddenly felt proud, he took advantage of the victory to pursue and continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, when Zhaoyan comes back and confronts you, you will know what you have stolen, and then see how you quibble!" ”
Zhong Liyue laughed, "Okay, then wait for the eldest young master to come back and confront each other." ”
Zhong Liyue thought that Cheng Yizhi would lock her up in the firewood room and wait for Shen Zhaoyan to come back. Who knew that on the way here, he had already sent his family to the government to report the case, and asked the arrester to come to the house to arrest her.
When the two catchers came in and grabbed her two arms without saying a word, she was stunned, stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, and said angrily: "Are you crazy? ”
Before this, she had always thought it was a joke, and the fuss was over. No matter how much Chun Qiao hates her, it will never be like this! But things went beyond her imagination.
Cheng Yizhi didn't explain anymore, and waved his hand dashingly, signaling to take her away quickly.
At this time, a person came in from outside. When he saw the scene in front of him, his expression was slightly stunned, then he looked around at the people in the room, and finally fixed his eyes on Cheng Yizhi's face, "Cousin, what the hell is going on?" ”
"Excuse me, why are you here?" Cheng Yizhi asked puzzled.
Shen Jinyan's fair face was slightly red because of anxiety, and he said with concern: "I saw that Yu Kuai entered the mansion and ran to the courtyard of the eldest brother, so I came over to see what happened." ”
Cheng Yizhi pointed at Zhong Liyue with his mouth, and said contemptuously: "Oh, a female thief was found in your eldest brother's yard." ”
Shen Jinyan turned his face to look at Zhong Liyue, looked her up and down for a moment, then shook his head, and said with an innocent face: "She doesn't look like a thief at all. What did she steal from my eldest brother? ”
"Will the thief be written on the face? Honestly, you trust people too easily! Look, this is your eldest brother's cherished collection. Cheng Yizhi picked up the book on the table and handed it to Shen Jinyan, and said, "There are still some broken silver taels left, and you have to wait for your eldest brother to come back to know how much you have stolen." Do you know how much money your eldest brother put in the yard? ”
Shen Jinyan shook his head helplessly, coughed twice, and then said sympathetically: "Since it will be clear until the eldest brother comes back, it means that it is not clear now." How can a conviction be made in a situation where it is not clear? Cousin, where is there a way to survive where my daughter's family goes to that kind of place? ”
Although his voice was gentle and his appearance was weak, his words made sense.
Cheng Yizhi glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and said: "I don't know, this is all evidence of her theft, and she can't shirk it, she said that she earned it herself, you said that she is a little girl in the countryside, what do you use to make money?" Your eldest brother is the head of the Shen family, and there is no room for mistakes. I, as a big housekeeper, have the responsibility to protect the safety of the house, and I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than miss one. ”
