Chapter 044: Water Falls

"The slave is wronged!" The two little girls didn't admit it, and hurriedly shook their heads to deny it, "This purse is not a slave's!" ”

"A large group of people in the courtyard saw that they were searched from under your two pillows, and who were they who were not you?"

The two girls looked at Tong Xue tremblingly, with a panicked look in their eyes.

Tong Xue sneered at the corner of her mouth, and now she knows that she is afraid, is it too late!

"You two are just the last class sweepers, the monthly silver is only two taels, these thirty taels of silver, even if you don't need a penny in the house, you have to save more than a year. And the two of you are starting to receive moon silver in the spring of this year, where can you save this more money? Or three ingots of whole silver! ”

Tong Xue stared at the two of them fiercely, and the words she said were even more like a basin of ice water, and she threw her head at the two of them, making the two of them shiver excitedly.

However, what Tong Xue said next made them tremble.

Tong Xue looked at the two of them, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and her voice changed, "Could it be that you two stole this silver?" If this is the case, then you can only be handed over to the government, I heard that there are many sensational torture instruments in the prison cells in the capital that are specially used to serve prisoners who do not tell the truth! ”

The two never expected that the truth would develop to this point.

Hearing that Tong Xue was going to send them to the official mansion, those flickering eyes couldn't help but widen!

Ordinary people still have a heart for the government and the old party, let alone these two eleven or twelve-year-old girls!

This money is obviously not theirs!

They did take money, but it was far less than that, and it was sewn with needles and threads in the seams of the close-fitting undergarments!

However, the eldest girl said that the money was found in their room, that is, it was found in their room, and they did not even have room for defense!

In the present situation, if they do not say what they are behind the accusation, they will have to confess the crime of stealing, and if they want to overturn the crime of stealing, they must admit that they have received money and have been instructed by others.

Tong Xue looked calm and relaxed, and clearly told them that they would either recruit the mastermind behind the scenes, or wait to go to prison!

But that's not what the man told them at the time!

She said that pearls have a strong temperament and a good face, even if they overhear this, they will not stand up to them in person.

It was precisely because the man repeatedly promised that nothing would happen, and persuaded them to earn twenty taels of silver just by using their mouths, which was the monthly silver of the month, that these two girls were moved, who knew that they would end up in this situation?

If he had known this, he would have lent them ten guts, and they would not have dared to take the money.

"Slave move! Please forgive the girl, the slave and maid have not stolen the money in the house! The girl in the younger grade, who was a little cowardly in the end, stared at her for a while, and suddenly burst into tears, prostrate on the ground, and said with a handful of snot and tears.

As long as one of the two psychological defense lines collapses, the remaining one is the end of the strong crossbow, and it is only a matter of time before they admit their mistakes.

The old girl glanced at the crying little girl indignantly, touched the ground with her head, and said, "The slave and maid are also recruited." ”

"Tell me everything you know, and I will be light-hearted, and I won't let you suffer in your cell." Tong Xue looked at the two of them for a long time.

"It was Sister Jade who told the slave maid to say this!" Their voices trembled, and they uttered the words almost simultaneously.

Hugh had to talk nonsense in front of the girl, Jade and Pearl are both big girls in front of Madame, and the two have always gotten along well, how could they do such a thing! And what good is it for the little girl to say bad things about pearls? At this moment, outside the Rising Sun Hall, a mother-in-law in a dark blue gown with an angry expression said angrily.

The person who came was Jade Niang, who is now in charge of the melon and fruit trees in the house, and is quite decent in the house.

Jade Niang was called by Tong Xue when she told Cai Lan to search the house of the two girls.

Jade Niang is worthy of being the old man in the house, and she will pick the jade clean in three or two sentences.

Jade and pearl are both big girls in front of the Lu family, and the two of them perform their own duties, so there is really no need to exclude each other.

When Tong Xue heard this, she also showed an angry look on her face, "I didn't think that the two of you would be unwilling to tell the truth until now!" Come on, first the scissors cut the little fingers of these two people! I heard that ten fingers are connected to the heart, see if you still dare to have sharp teeth and sharp mouths, full of nonsense! ”

Everyone in the room didn't expect that Tong Xue would say such cruel words!

What made them even more stunned was that a girl beside her, who was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, really took out a pair of smooth and shiny scissors from the sewing basket of Duobao Pavilion, walked over, grabbed the hand of the younger girl, and despite her desperate struggle, she cried again and again, "clicked", and neatly cut off a section of her fingernails.

But after struggling for a while, the girl was already scared into a cold sweat.

"The slave is telling the truth, please see the girl!" The girl saw that the scissors were about to scissor fingers again, and she couldn't break free, so she closed her eyes in fear, looking like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Cai Lan turned around and pointed the scissors at the older girl, "I was not skilled for the first time, and the scissors cut off, what about you?" Do you want to be cut? ”

"The slave and maid are also telling the truth, and they dare not hide half a sentence! If there is half a lie, slave and maid, slave and maid are willing to die to apologize! ”

People can't die on the ground, but they have to bear the pain of broken fingers, the girl just imagined it, and her whole body couldn't help but twitch violently, and her lips trembled.

Cai Lan put away the scissors and walked back to Tong Xue's side three feet behind the right and stood still.

"Now do you have any objection to this girl's words?" Tong Xue looked at Jade Niang with a smile and said.

Jade Niang didn't think that this teenage girl was so cruel that she was a little weak and short of breath for a while.

She didn't do anything hurtful to herself, so she thought about her tone and said, "This matter can't be based on the words of the two of them. ”

"That's nature. Since my mother has entrusted this matter to me, I will do everything I can to convince everyone. Tong Xue said, turning her gaze to the two little girls kneeling on the ground, "Tell the matter as it is." ”

This time, no one interrupted again.

"Yesterday, because of the injury of the second girl, the house seemed to be extremely busy, and the slave was instructed by Sister Jade to go to the treasury to get medicine, and accidentally dropped a century-old ginseng to the ground and broke it in half. The slave was scared silly, and Sister Jade said that she would hide this from everyone, but asked the slave to do her a favor. After the continuous fright, the older girl seemed calmer at the moment and told the story

Presumably, everyone is paying attention to the explosion in Tanggu in Tianjin today. Ruochen also brushed up on Weibo for an afternoon, mourning for the victims, and deeply felt that those firefighters were the bravest and most admirable people in the world. When I saw a long Weibo explaining that the firefighters were asked to enter the scene, he wrote a sentence, "We are always teaching others to run out, but we are going inside", and the fire brigade never said "give it to me", but "follow me", and instantly became tearful. Ruochen's place of work also had a fire last winter when he was about to go on winter vacation. At that time, when I received a call from the school and rushed to the school at night to call the students who were on leave and staying outside to ensure their safety, although I knew in my heart that they would not go there and that there was no fear for their lives, when I held the mobile phone to dial, my hands still trembled and my heart was pounding. The fire started on the fourth floor, when a girl was rescued by firefighters, and the firefighter who entered the innermost part of the fire was dragged out by his companion and was seriously injured and hospitalized because of excessive inhalation of dust and toxic gases. Life is always full of accidents, in the face of natural disasters, as ordinary people, you really feel very small, and those heroes who know that life and death are unpredictable, but still rush forward regardless of their lives, they are so great!
