Chapter 145: Who is the mastermind
What the?
Shiro's words were like pouring cold water into a hot oil pan and frying the pan.
The villagers in the courtyard stared at each other in disbelief with wide eyes in astonishment, is this true?
Even Qiduo and Xu, who especially disliked the Zhao family, looked at Shiro with disbelieving eyes.
How is this possible?
No matter how annoying and shameless the Zhao family is, they won't do such an obscene and dirty thing, right?
It's really not something that a human being can do!
Without waiting for Patriarch Tan to question it, Old Man Tan was angry first, and his originally blood-red face turned purple under his anger.
Originally, he came to see Shiro stealing things, but he was already so angry that he wanted to strangle Shiro to death. Unexpectedly, Shiro didn't regret it well, but instead led the matter to the Zhao family.
It made him so angry that he almost vomited blood.
You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, if you don't make this matter clear today, this Tanjiazhuang will not be able to stay in the future.
Grandma asked her grandson to steal something from another son's family, if this word spread, wouldn't the eight generations of the Tan family's ancestors be scolded.
Old Man Tan pointed his finger at Shiro with a trembling finger and scolded, "Shiro, what nonsense are you talking about there, why did your grandmother ask you to come?" In the middle of the night, how could your grandmother let you come here, brute, the family is unfortunate! ”
Because he was too angry, Old Man Tan scolded and couldn't understand his hatred, got up and came over, and kicked Shiro with both feet.
Shiro was kicked and screamed, "Grandpa, don't hit me, it's really grandma who asked me to steal lotus roots." ”
"You still dare to talk nonsense, see if I don't kill you." Old Man Tan is going to kick again. Patriarch Tan stepped forward and grabbed him.
"Dick. Don't get excited. I'll be sure to find out about it. Patriarch Tan said seriously.
At this time, Wu and Tan Decai pulled away from the crowd and rushed over.
Wu saw Shiro lying on the ground curled up, very pitiful, and hurriedly pounced, shouting with red eyes, "Shiro, Shiro." What's wrong with you? ”
Tan Decai was a little confused, and he still didn't know what was going on.
They were also woken up by the movement of the Qiduo family, but they did not rush over to help immediately, but stood at the moon gate and listened to the movement.
But because of the wall, I can't see or hear clearly, and I don't know the specific situation.
Instigated by curiosity, Tan Decai and his wife, Erlang, and Yang also took San Lang and several people came over to take a look.
Who knew that he had just arrived at the gate of the hospital. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard Shiro's screams and talking. They rushed over without thinking about it.
"Dad, what the hell is going on?" Tan Decai glared and asked Master Tan.
"What's going on? You're embarrassed to ask me, you don't know what to do with your own beasts? Old Man Tan's eyes breathed fire, and he scolded Tan Decai's nose.
Tan Decai still had a blank expression.
Qiduo took two steps closer and said coldly to Tan Decai, "The fourth brother led a group of people to my house to steal lotus roots, doesn't the third uncle know?" ”
"Ah, stealing lotus roots? How could it be, Shiro wasn't that kind of person. Tan Decai immediately denied it.
At night, Shiro said that he was going to sleep at Wang Xiaodao's house, but he didn't expect to cause such a big disaster.
If you knew this, you shouldn't have promised him to go out.
"Third uncle, everyone has seen this matter." Seven cold reminders.
Seeing that this matter had evolved from a simple matter of stealing to a matter of family affairs, Patriarch Tan made a decision in order to take care of the face of the Zhao family.
asked the other three to wait in the courtyard, and he, together with Old Man Tan, Qiduo, Xu, Tan Decai and his wife, went to Tan Debao's house to interrogate Shilang.
But Old Man Tan rejected Patriarch Tan's decision, "No, Patriarch, let's talk about this matter in front of the big guy, anyway, this unvirtuous and unfilial ghost thing has already made a fool of itself, and I will no longer hide it." ”
He was thinking that if Shiro was interrogated in private, even if Shiro admitted that this matter had nothing to do with the Zhao family, the villagers might not all believe it, thinking that it might be that the patriarch and him privately forced Shiro to change his mind.
Only by interrogating in front of others can the villagers be convinced and know what the truth is all about.
already has a disgraceful grandson, but you can't add another unvirtuous and vicious wife.
Patriarch Tan originally wanted to cover up Old Man Tan's ugliness, but seeing that he insisted on doing so, he didn't insist, so he nodded and agreed.
But in order to make what Shiro and Wang Xiaodao said more credible, under Qiduo's whispered suggestion, Patriarch Tan still decided to try the four separately.
Bring Shiro, Tan Sen and the man who is born first and come to judge Wang Xiaodao first.
Wang Xiaodao is the youngest, so he should be the easiest to tell the truth.
"Wang Xiaodao, what's going on today?" Patriarch Tan asked......
"It was Shiro who ran to us after dinner, saying that his uncle's family dug up 2,000 catties of lotus root today, and it happened that his uncle and fourth uncle were not at home at night, so he could start stealing the lotus root and selling it, and he could earn a lot of silver." Wang Xiaodao replied.
"Then, how many of you will respond?" Patriarch Tan continued to ask with a dark face.
"Well, we were afraid of his fourth uncle, but when we heard that his fourth uncle was not at home, we were bolder. We climbed over the wall and came in, and after picking the lock of the house where the lotus root was kept, Shiro walked in first, who expected to be caught by a trap, if he hadn't screamed at the time, he wouldn't have made a movement, we ...... "Wang Xiaodao 1510 told what happened.
The tone was a little unwilling, thinking that if Shiro wasn't too bad, he would have succeeded now.
At the same time, he couldn't understand how there could be a trap in the upside-down house, could there be a beast in that house?
Fortunately, Qiduo has an extra heart tonight, otherwise these people's tricks will really succeed.
"Wang Xiaodao, what nonsense are you talking about there, our Shiro is not that kind of person, don't pour dirty water on him." Tan Decai and Wu both rebuked Wang Xiaodao at the same time.
Wu directly pounced and scratched Wang Xiaodao's face a few times.
"I'm telling the truth, if Shiro hadn't come to call us, we wouldn't have been unlucky tonight, really." Wang Xiaodao covered his face and said hatefully.
"Daughter-in-law of virtue and wealth. That's enough. You stay and go. Patriarch Tan drank in a deep voice.
Wu and Tan Decai had to stand aside.
"Wang Xiaodao. When Shiro went to look for you, did he say that he was instructed to come to Nanachi's house to steal things? Patriarch Tan asked again.
Wang Xiaodao hesitated, not knowing how to answer this question.
"Say it quickly." Patriarch Tan urged.
"Shiro said that Grandma Tan Er asked him to do this, and we didn't believe it at the time, Shiro said that Grandma Tan Er had a quarrel with Uncle Tan." Wang Xiaodao said very affirmatively.
Patriarch Tan's eyes tightened, and he asked again, "Then how are you going to divide the spoils?" ”
"After the sale of the money, everyone will share it together." Wang Xiaodao replied.
Patriarch Tan asked the other two more, which was similar to what Wang Xiaodao said.
They all said that Shiro was instructed by the Zhao family. I had to come to Qiduo's house to steal things.
The most reluctant brought Shiro up, and the facts are almost clear, he is the mastermind.
Patriarch Tan pointed at Shiro and scolded, "Shiro, this matter is clearly provoked by you, you made a mistake, you don't want to repent, and you actually framed your grandmother, it's really hateful."
Early tomorrow morning, I will send you to the yamen. Let the county magistrate lock you up for a while, and see if you dare to mess around like this. ”
Shiro didn't want to deny that he took the initiative to summon Wang Xiaodao and others to steal. Anyway, he knew that this was paper that couldn't hold the fire, and the others would say it sooner or later.
But as for the mastermind, he still insisted on his previous statement.
"Patriarch Grandpa, it's really my grandma who asked me to do this, grandma wants Uncle to give us some lotus root, but Uncle doesn't agree. After dinner, my grandmother came to my uncle again and said that I would let my sister-in-law Ming'er go to Luhuapo to help work, whether she did it or not, and give my sister-in-law 50 yuan a day, but my uncle refused again.
My grandmother was very angry, saying that my uncle didn't know what to do and was not filial, and she wanted to teach him a good lesson.
So, my grandmother looked for me, and knew that I was popular, so I asked me to find a few people, and while the uncle and fourth uncle were not at home, they came in over the wall to steal and sell the lotus root. Shiro explained.
"You...... You brute, how can you slander your grandmother like this......" Seeing that Shiro said it vividly, Old Man Tan only felt that his face was surging with blood.
Yang, who had been watching the excitement, had a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
Hmph, old woman, your good grandson has made you famous today!
Zhao, who was still lying on the bed and sleeping, didn't know if he was really lying down and was shot this time.
Qiduo's family watched coldly from the side, waiting for the truth to come out.
Wu's eyes rolled, and he immediately said, "Patriarch, Shiro, you grew up, what kind of person is he, you should know that he is so honest, how can he do this kind of stealing and touching dogs."
My grandmother is dissatisfied with my uncle.,It's a well-known thing.,Grandma wants to punish the uncle.,That's why I let Shiro do it.,Shiro did it for the sake of filial piety.,There's no way.,So I did it.。 ”
"Nonsense, those people in the family, why did your grandmother only look for you Shiro, and you have those brothers in your family, why do you want to call outsiders, it's just nonsense." Patriarch Tan didn't believe that the Zhao clan would do such a foolish thing.
"Patriarch, it's true, it's my grandmother who told me that the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle were not at home at night and went to Luhuapo to guard the pond. Otherwise, I would not have known that they were not at home. Shiro said busily.
Shiro's performance tonight surprised Nanduo, if memory serves, he's a particularly non-talkative person.
When he went back to Yutan Town to sell snails, in the morning, the words he said added up to no more than ten words.
But tonight, he is sharp-tongued and eloquent, and he is like two people on weekdays.
After a long time, I have seen people's hearts, this is true, and under the kind and honest face, there is such an ugly heart.
"Shiro, I also saw that you were gone, I always thought you were an honest and honest person, it turned out to be a bad-hearted white-eyed wolf, after your grandmother finished talking to your uncle, your grandmother went back to the house to sleep, when did you call you to speak.
Just because I know that your grandmother is innocent, I insist on interrogating you brutes in front of everyone and returning your grandmother's innocence. If you are obsessed with Shiro again, then I will have to hand you over to the yamen to deal with, our Tan family does not have a rebellious descendant like you. Old Man Tan said with a choked voice.
Qiduo nodded, and when Old Man Tan refused Patriarch Tan's suggestion to interrogate Shiro in private, she guessed that this matter might really have nothing to do with the Zhao family.
Patriarch Tan made sense, if the Zhao family really wanted to use such an obscene means to deal with their own family, they would definitely let Erlang Saburo and them do it, and it was impossible for Shilang to find outsiders.
Although Zhao is shameless, if she wants Shiro to tell outsiders that she wants to calculate her son, it is impossible, in front of outsiders, she still needs some face.
And even if the stealing is successful, after selling the lotus root, she will have to give the money to outsiders, according to Zhao's temperament of treating money as life, how can she be reluctant.
Shiro relied on the Zhao family for the matter, just because he knew that the Zhao family did not like his family very much, and there was a conflict yesterday, so it was easier to be convincing to say it.
If the Zhao family is the mastermind, then his responsibility will be light, and he can escape the catastrophe.
Okay, you Tan Shilang, you think really carefully, I really underestimate you.
Qi Duo thought so in his heart, but the testimony of several other people was not good for the Zhao family.
Patriarch Tan asked Shiro again if this matter had anything to do with the Zhao family, and said that if Shiro didn't tell the truth, he would send it to the Yamen.
Koshiro insisted that it was Zhao who instructed him.
Old Man Tan was so angry that his hair stood on end, but he couldn't change Shiro's words.
Patriarch Tan was also embarrassed, so he had to ask someone to call the Zhao family over. (To be continued......)
