Chapter 69: The Identity of the Thief Is Finally Revealed
Lin Mei was not angry when she heard this, she grabbed Qingying's arm with a smile, walked towards the warehouse with a relaxed step, and said politely, "I'm not so stingy, besides, Shu Wangjin talked to me when she went to Los Angeles, Mrs. Shu and Master Shu are good people, so I don't have to be so afraid of them on weekdays, and accompany them more......"
It turned out that Shu Wangjin had a night talk with Lin Mei on the night before he rushed to Los Angeles, but at the end, Shu Wangjin pleaded with Lin Mei with a heavy face, hoping that she could take care of her parents more, and if there was anything offended, he would personally apologize to Lin Mei when he came back.
Qingying Ren Lin Mei pulled herself, and thought to herself: Shu Wangjin is really thorough, and everything has been appeased, no wonder he can leave Beijing so reassuringly......
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over quickly, first saluted Lin Mei, and then whispered, "Miss Lin, Miss Qingying, a few days ago, I deliberately released the news according to your orders, and as you expected, those thieves couldn't wait in an instant, and they didn't dare to start two days ago because of the increase in the guards in the warehouse, and they jumped over the wall in a hurry last night, and just let the Han steward who was guarding here catch it!" ”
"Caught? Where are they kept? Take us to see it! Lin Mei couldn't stop laughing when she heard the news, although this idea and trap were laid by Shu Wangjin a long time ago, but no matter how you say it, she also has her part, which is called honor!
"Is Steward Han Zhao also there?" Qing Ying frowned suspiciously, although Han Zhao was only the manager of Shu Mansion, his status was also high in front of his subordinates, how could he personally guard it?
The middle-aged man saw at a glance that Lin Mei was just an empty appearance, and the real person in charge was Qingying next to her, but Lin Mei was the master, so he replied to Lin Mei's words first, "Miss Lin, the villain will take you there...... Miss Qingying, since the last time the goods in the warehouse were lost, Steward Han blamed himself very much, and vowed to catch the thief, and he had been guarding it for several nights. ”
"How many nights? And what about him now? Are you still guarding over those thieves? Lin Mei only felt strange when she heard this, so she asked casually.
"After catching that group of thieves last night, we persuaded Steward Han to go back and rest, presumably we will come later." The middle-aged man hung his head in front of him and led the way, and he knew everything about Lin Mei's questioning.
Qingying took half a step back and silently followed behind Lin Mei, trying to do her duty to do what a maid should do, she couldn't change the temper of the eldest lady on weekdays when she first entered the Shu Mansion, and was honestly cleaned up by Mrs. Shu to get rid of her previous bad habits, and no longer think of herself as the former Miss of the General's Mansion.
"I see...... Big brother, thank you. Lin Mei saw that the middle-aged man's dress was not like an ordinary person, so she solemnly thanked him, but she didn't expect to provoke the middle-aged man's surprised gaze.
"Miss Lin doesn't have to be so polite, this is our duty as subordinates......"
When the two were polite, they suddenly came to the firewood room used to hold the thief who stole it, and there were many guards guarding outside the door.
"So many people guarding? How terrible must that thief be...... I, I'm not going! Lin Mei stood at the door and hesitated, pulling Qingying's sleeve and whispering, obviously thinking about the group of bandits she encountered when she came to the capital.
"Miss Lin, the eldest young master said, if you don't want to go in for interrogation, let me send you back first, the thief has been caught, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to the next person." Qingying saw that Lin Mei was really frightened, so she proposed to send her home.
Lin Mei bit her lower lip and frowned and looked at the firewood room, she didn't want to live up to the expectations of Shu Wangjin and Mrs. Shu, but ......
"Let's go back first......"
Qing Ying didn't mean to blame on his face, just nodded lightly, turned his head and whispered a few words to Uncle Liang who was following him, and then helped Lin Mei to walk out, his voice was slightly soft, "It's me who is not good, I actually forgot that you met bandits when you came to Beijing......"
Shu Wangjin also took this matter into consideration, so he said that if Lin Mei really didn't want to interrogate those thieves in person, she didn't have to force it.
"Miss Lin, I just think that you ...... Really happy and lucky. "What a blessing to meet a man like Shu Wangjin! Everything has been considered, everything has been arranged, in such a dynasty where men are respected, how rare is a man like Shu Wangjin!
"Huh? Again...... What's wrong? Lin Mei looked at Qingying in surprise, really puzzled what was going on.
Qingying lowered her head and smiled faintly, with a rare smile on her face, "It's okay, I'll send you back to the house first, and the things here can be handed over to Uncle Liang, and then I'll come here again." ”
"I'm really sorry, it would be nice if Yufei was here, she is the smartest of the three of us, and this kind of mind-stirring thing is often handed over to her......"
Who knew that before Lin Mei's words were finished, three or four people rushed out of the firewood room, dressed in black, and the black cloth covering their faces had already been uncovered, so they ran out with their bare hands, and when they saw Lin Mei standing nearby, they couldn't help but have a trace of cruel light flashing in their eyes, and they wanted to come over and kidnap Lin Mei before everyone could react.
Qing Ying swept his eyes coldly, jumped over directly on his tiptoes and kicked the leader of the bandits aside, standing firmly beside Lin Mei and staring at those tall and strong black-clothed bandits, and snorted lightly with disdain in his mouth.
"Miss Lin, are you okay?" Uncle Liang hurriedly hugged him and asked anxiously.
Only then did the other guards react, and rushed forward with the long knives in their hands to surround the four fierce-looking bandits, and the guards led by them were obviously unable to get over their faces, and shouted angrily, "You are so bold! Dare to steal to the Shu family! ”
"I'm fine...... Uncle Liang, please rest assured. Lin Mei also shouted Uncle Liang with Qingying, and then turned her head to look at the group of thieves who were surrounded by the guards of the Shu Mansion, and unintentionally put her right hand on her wildly beating hearty liver, raised her eyebrows and said, "You are so brutal, are you really just here to steal medicinal herbs from the Shu family?" "Why did these people seem like outlaws to her......
"Medicinal herbs?! What herbs? Uncle is here to steal gold! One of the young men with scars on his face slurped hard, glared at Lin Mei, and then raised his head and said no more.
