Chapter 289: Confession

Xia Hai was completely relieved when he heard this, isn't there no evidence yet?

He was indeed worried about the origin of those two treasures, but he didn't care about it when he thought that the power behind the Treasure Pavilion was not small, so he could gain a foothold in the capital, and he would not be easily manipulated.

When Xi Muyun mentioned it just now, he was really worried, and when he heard his words later, he gradually relaxed, since he couldn't grasp the handle on this matter, and Zhang Li was not in personal contact with him, and the money he gave him was not through the silver ticket and silver village, but directly gave him the cash, such a sum of money, for him, was just a small amount of money, and it was not worth mentioning in all his assets, so through this, there was no way to involve him in this matter.

When he thought of this, his heart also relaxed, there should be no handle at all.

Xi Muyun smiled and said: "But I asked a friend in the capital to go to the Treasure Pavilion to investigate who ordered these two things in the name of investigating the case, but I found an interesting phenomenon, Master Xia doesn't want to hear it?" ”

Xia Hai's face turned pale.

She was so powerful that she could even investigate the things in the Treasure Pavilion, which Xia Hai never expected.

Xi Muyun continued to smile and said: "The person who ordered these two things is actually your housekeeper, these two things cost a total of two thousand four hundred taels, but it is really a lot of money, Master Xia really spared no effort in order to defeat me, where is this money spent, it has to be spent on doing this kind of thing, if Master Xia doesn't believe it, it is better to find someone from the Treasure Pavilion to confront it, and then everything will be hammered, and there will be no place for Master Xia's face." ”

Xia Hai's brows were furrowed, and panic was written on his face.

Xi Muyun chuckled, "Will Master Xia continue to resist, or will he explain the situation now?" ”

Xia Hai didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, he sneered and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me? ”

"Oh, could it be that Master Xia's housekeeper did it alone, but I don't know how much salary Master Xia's housekeeper has a year, and he can afford such a valuable thing, not to mention that I don't have any grudges with Master Xia's housekeeper, so why do you want to treat me like this?" Xi Muyun said with a sneer.

Xia Hai gritted his teeth, and then said: "I'm afraid you have to ask him these questions, why don't you invite him over and see what he has to say?" ”

Xi Muyun nodded, this incident happened suddenly, Xia Hai should not be prepared, he did this just to delay time, or he believed that the butler's loyalty to him might be for the sake of his innocence, and he might bear this charge.

Thinking of this, Xi Muyun took a deep breath, it seems that this question is still a little difficult, but if it is a temporary decision, he will definitely be able to find some flaws in the other party's words, so he agreed.

The butler has always followed Xia Hai, so he was soon invited to the court.

The county magistrate asked: "We found out that you once ordered a pearl shawl and a hosta in the treasure pavilion in the capital, what are these pearl shawls and hostas used for?" ”

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, "What pearl shawl and hosta?" ”

"Don't pretend to be stupid here, our people have already gone to the Treasure Pavilion to investigate, and confirmed that the person who ordered these two things is you." The county magistrate said coldly.

The housekeeper turned his head to look at Xia Hai, and Xia Hai's eyes showed a different emotion, and he glanced at him again.

The public security driver's license only reacted, and it turned out that this matter was exposed, so I wanted a home in the court. I think I want a home. asked him for questioning, and seeing what Master Xia meant, he wanted to make himself guilty.

Thinking of this, the housekeeper only denied it a little, and then said: "Yes, I did it, those two things I did right, I used them as a seal to frame Xi Muyun, because she made our master very uncomfortable, I really can't see it, so I will do this." ”

Xi Muyun didn't feel strange, but felt that these two people cooperated very tacitly, and it was really not easy for Xia Hai to have such a loyal servant.

But it doesn't matter, thinking of this, she stood up, smiled and said, "In this way, everything is done by you alone, the housekeeper, and it has nothing to do with Master Xia, right?" ”

The housekeeper nodded, "Yes, I just can't see it, that's why I will do this, ruin a girl's reputation, county master, I don't know how this matter should be judged in the law, so I won't go to jail." With that, he was triumphant.

The county magistrate thought for a while, nodded and said: "There are clear provisions in the law on the crime of Y defilement, and the others have nothing to do with this matter, and this matter does not seem to constitute the crime of Y defilement, but the two of them have already made a bet, I am afraid that they will fulfill the gambling contract." ”

"This has nothing to do with me." Xia Hai immediately said: "So, I don't have to pay 20,000 taels of silver, you still have to apologize to me, are you convinced?" ”

Saying that, he straightened his chest, fortunately the housekeeper knew the severity and helped him cover up the past, otherwise he would really be embarrassed in this court.

Xi Muyun smiled, the villain's appearance, she could really see it, but she didn't care, she just stood up and asked: "I also said just now, if it has something to do with your people, you have to compensate me, you also agreed, don't change the concept here, thinking that using your own housekeeper to blame you has nothing to do with it?" Also, Lord Prefectural, do you think an ordinary housekeeper can have so much money? ”

The county lord nodded, "What you said makes some sense, and the housekeeper is also Master Xia's person, in case it is for Master Xia to take the blame or that Master Xia instructed him to act, this matter is inseparable from Grandpa Xia." ”

Xi Muyun smiled, "Hey, that's maybe, maybe the housekeeper is a loyal person, after all, the conflict we had before was really not small." ”

Xia Hai didn't know what she meant by what she said, just looked at her.

Xi Muyun stood up, looked at the housekeeper and said, "How much does Master Xia give you in a year?" ”

The butler thought for a moment and said, "Fifty taels of silver." ”

"That's not bad, set up as the housekeeper of a large family, but think about it, those two things together cost more than two thousand taels of silver, that is, almost your savings for more than forty years, and you have to eat or drink to be able to save so much, not to mention that you can't be a housekeeper at the beginning and earn so much money, right? Your heart for your master is really sincere, but this sincerity is a bit fake. ”

When the county master heard this, he also felt reasonable, looked at the housekeeper and said, "How many years have you been a housekeeper in the Xia family?" ”

The housekeeper couldn't say a word in shock, and a cold sweat broke out on his head.

Xi Muyun sneered, "You must know that these are verifiable, if you lie, it is contempt of the court." ”

The butler then hesitated and said, "Fifteen years." ”

"It's not short, haven't you eaten or drunk all these years, and saved your own money? Even if it is a day off for the holiday, Master Xia will give you a reward, which can be regarded as your life's savings, are you really so generous to solve me, the enemy of Master Xia? This in itself is not logical, if this money was given to you by Xia Hai, it makes sense, he is rich, how can he care about this money? Xi Muyun said a word, forcing the housekeeper to have no way out.
