The housekeeper kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't think of a word, so he looked at Xia Hai not far away beside him with a look for help.

Xia Hai saw it, sat up straight, cleared his throat, and before ......he finished speaking, Xi Muyun blocked his words and said sharply: "I think the housekeeper is also a neat person, so he can't even speak clearly, why should Master Xia speak for his subordinates?" ”

Xia Haihua was blocked back, and his face was a little unhappy, but there was no way.

The housekeeper is still there, "Although there are only so many years every year, but the reward given on the last holiday is a lot, so ......"

"Say this, do you ask the county order letter? A lifetime of savings is used as an introduction. Xi Muyun turned his head to look at the county master.

The county magistrate shook his head and said with a serious face: "Don't think about fooling us with this sentence, you should also buy a house and land at home, just use your savings over the years, don't wait for us to find out in Nankai, you have to know what kind of fate it is to lie in the court!" ”

The housekeeper was trembling again, trembling and speechless.

Xi Muyun looked at Xia Hai, "There is only you in this world who can spend such a big price to rectify me, isn't the price high enough last time you burned the factory?" People are really persevering, and they don't know how to grow wise. ”

Xia Hai's face was swollen and red, and he couldn't say a word.

Xi Muyun turned his head to look at the housekeeper again, smiled and said, "Aren't you still telling the source of the money?" Is it really for people to look up? ”

The housekeeper opened his mouth, as if he wanted to speak, but he glanced at Xia Hai with a little weakness and swallowed everything he wanted to say.

Xi Muyun saw that he had the heart to say, but the old master was unforgettable, so he immediately pressed forward, "You must know that theft is not a trivial matter. In particular, if a servant steals the goods of his master's house, he shall be punished by chopping off his hands. ”

The housekeeper is already so old from the business, if he doesn't know if he can survive the frost trip, besides, after a few years of imprisonment, I am afraid that he will be dying old and unable to take care of himself.

He immediately shook his head, waved his hand and said, "No, it's not like that, I didn't steal it." ”

Xi Muyun pressed forward step by step, and seeing that he looked flustered, he was confused, so he asked, "Didn't Master Xia pay this money and let you customize these two things to frame me?" ”

The butler immediately shook his head, his lips trembling, not knowing what to say.

Xi Muyun didn't ask anymore, turned his head to look at the county master and said: "Now you must have made a decision in your heart, no matter what, as long as you investigate carefully, you will find that whether it is the crime of theft or the crime of deliberately framing and framing, they will always take one." ”

The county magistrate nodded, still thinking about how he could get some oil and water from this war, so he replied absentmindedly.

Xi Muyun frowned slightly, "County master? ”

Only then did the county master raise his head, "I will investigate well, Master Xia, you must know that there is an essential difference between what I investigated and what you admit by yourself." ”

Xia Hai's brows were slightly thick, obviously he couldn't make a perfect and reasonable explanation for this matter.

He just turned his head to look at the butler, who took a step back, obviously not wanting to be chopped, and it seemed that this person was also unreliable.

He was about to think about what kind of rhetoric to use to cover up the past, when suddenly a person walked in with a big grin outside the door.

He fixed his eyes and saw that this was not his son Xia Xian? Why was he involved in this? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get nervous, immediately stood up, and asked sharply, "What are you doing here?" Don't hurry up and give me back. ”

"Dad, I'm here to explain one thing, otherwise Uncle Qin will be suspected for no reason, and it won't be good." After Xia Xian finished speaking, he looked at Uncle Qin, and said in a tone of reproach: "Although this matter is kept secret from my father, you can't do this at this critical moment." ”

The butler looked surprised, as if he didn't know what was going on.

Xi Muyun knew at a glance that Xia Xian had come to relieve them from the siege.

Thinking of this, Xia Xian explained the reason, and immediately said: "Lord County Commander, no matter whether this matter really has other hidden secrets, but in order to prevent the two from openly colluding in the court, it is better to separate the two and ask where the money came from, what is the secret they want to keep?" Butler, at this time, even the owner of the secret is willing to say it, and you have no reason to hide it, right? In other words, it is simply borrowed as a pretext. ”

The butler wiped a cold sweat and showed a little confusion on his face, but he quickly returned to normal.

Lord Prefectural Commander smiled and said, "Of course." ”

Xi Muyun asked the two to be placed in two separate rooms.

Xia Xian originally wanted to play Lai Pi, get close to the housekeeper, and whisper something to him, but before he could speak, he was stopped by Xi Muyun, "Since you have a clear conscience, why should you be afraid of this?" ”

Xia Xian glanced at him coldly, with a slight smile on his face, "You woman is really amazing, I heard that you and your husband's family have canceled the marriage contract, it is better to marry me, how to marry my next family, and ensure that the glory and wealth are endless." ”

"Not everyone in this world is as superficial as you, and besides, if I want an inexhaustible wealth, I can create it with my own hands, not by a man, you know?" Xi Muyun said coldly.

Xia Xian obviously couldn't understand what he said, in this era, women are just vassals of men.

His spiritual level is probably only left at this level, thinking that women are just random to play with.

He didn't say anything more, perhaps because he couldn't find any words to refute it.

The two of them were quickly taken to different rooms to give an explanation of what was going on.

wrote their confessions on two pieces of paper, took them out, and asked the county magistrate to compare them.

When the county master saw it, he sneered and said: "Before you make a confession, you dare to say this in the court, it's too big, this is a crime of contempt for the court, Master Xia, don't you admit it?" Do you want your son to bear such a charge? ”

Xi Muyun ignored them, took the paper and looked at it casually, only to find that what was written on Xia Xian's paper was to take the money as a dowry and ask to marry the housekeeper's youngest daughter, and what was written on the housekeeper's paper was that the young master gave him the money so that he could pay off his gambling debts.

There is obviously no way to connect the two with completely different answers.

Xia Xian was slightly annoyed, he had clearly reminded him about what he was talking about just now, but he didn't seem to hear it, maybe he still lacked some tacit understanding.

Xi Muyun knew that except for the fact that the victory and defeat had been divided at this time, there was really nothing to argue.

Xia Hai stood up suddenly, "Tell you that this is not over." ”

Xi Muyun sneered, and then said: "Good and evil have their own rewards, by the way, when will I get the reputation loss fee?" ”

Xia Hai snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away.

The county magistrate stood up, glanced at Xi Muyun, and then said, "This ......"

"Lord Prefectural, you just need to urge him to complete this matter." Xi Muyun smiled faintly.

The county magistrate has a lot of words, and he can't say it in his throat.

Xi Muyun seemed to know what he meant, and said with a smile: "Since those two things are used as evidence, they must be left in the county office." ”

The county magistrate suddenly brightened up and looked at Xi Muyun, "Miss Xi is really smart. ”

"Even if you are smart, you should use it on the right path, otherwise the end will be like Xia Hai now, I don't know how much money he has for him to squander." After Xi Muyun finished speaking, he turned around and left.
