Chapter 91: Designing to Catch Thieves
Wu Lao couldn't help but say when he heard the words of his subordinates: "Liu Kuang is Liu Ye's younger brother, and it is normal to look at the rewarded items, if he likes any object, it is not impossible to ask Liu Ye for it." Why take such a big risk to steal? ”
Chen Lin and Qin Sheng knew that Zhang Shumo and Liu Kuang had a holiday, so Chen Lin explained: "Liu Kuang and Zhang Shumo had a holiday, and it is not ruled out that he stole things in revenge for Zhang Shumo." ”
Zhang Shumo thought about it, but scratched his head: "But how did Liu Kuang know that I was taking care of these items?" If he didn't know, how could he steal and get revenge on me? ”
Peng Mao narrowed his eyes after hearing this, and knocked his crutch fiercely: "Today, General Su specially mentioned the matter of transferring Zhang Shumo to the Cao Yuan, and I told Zhang Shumo's duties today, so Liu Kuang probably knew that Zhang Shumo was responsible for guarding these items." It's just, does he really have that much courage? ”
During the banquet, Liu Kuang touched the jade pendant in his arms from time to time, and his heart was very comfortable: although he was deflated last time, he stole the jade pendant this time, and Zhang Shumo will definitely be severely punished, see how he still scares. Even if he was discovered, it can be said that his brother had already given the jade pendant to him, so he just took it away in advance, how can it be regarded as stealing? Haha, I'm a genius!
But Liu Kuang didn't know that a family member quietly came behind him and was already eyeing him.
Time goes back to before. Zhang Shumo let out a sigh of relief after hearing Peng Mao's words, and he said to Peng Mao: "Of course Liu Kuang has such courage! These things were given to his brother, to put it bluntly, these things are already from their Liu family, but they are temporarily stored with us, is it considered stealing Liu Kuang to take his brother's things? Even if it is discovered, we will not be able to speak, at most it will be a misunderstanding. ”
Chen Lin nodded: "That's right, what Zhang Shumo said has some truth, but what should we do now?" You can't go directly to Liu Kuang without evidence, right? And these are all our guesses, in case it is really not Liu Kuang's take, we will have no room for maneuver. ”
Qin Sheng thought for a long time and said to everyone: "I have a plan, please listen to whether it is feasible." Let's treat it as Liu Kuang blatantly took the jade pendant away now, and let's tell him like this when Liu Ye comes to get something. If Liu Kuang took it, he would definitely not dare not admit it, otherwise it would really become a theft. If it wasn't Liu Kuang, let's explain the words of the next person to him, and then we can find the jade pendant in the open. ”
Peng Mao shook his head after hearing this: "It's not proper, if it wasn't for Liu Kuang, it means that we are derelict in our duties, and everyone knows about it, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Shumo knelt down on one knee and said to Peng Mao: "Mr. Peng, if it is an ordinary thief, how can he only steal a piece of jade pendant?" So it must be Liu Kuang who deliberately stole the jade pendant in order to retaliate against me! There is no time to think of a perfect plan now, if it is not Liu Kuang, this crime of dereliction of duty will be borne by me alone. ”
Peng Mao's eyebrows were wrinkled together: "Are you going to do it according to Qin Sheng's plan?" ”
Zhang Shumo shook his head: "Liu Kuang came at me, so I have to solve it in my own way." Of course, I need you to do me a favor. ”
"Help what?" Peng Mao asked.
"I need someone to monitor Liu Kuang's every move, I need someone to sprinkle ink on the way from the venue to the side courtyard, and finally I need you to accompany me to perform a play!"
During the banquet, Liu Kuang was proud of his plan, and when he thought that Zhang Shumo would be punished later, Liu Kuang's heart was very happy.
At this time, Peng Mao hurriedly came to the banquet with a group of people from the Cao Yuan, and the people who originally pushed the cups and changed the lamps knew that something was wrong when they saw Peng Mao's anxious expression. Liu Kuang didn't expect the people in the Cao Yuan to find out that things were lost so quickly, and he couldn't help the excitement in his heart, waiting to see Zhang Shumo make a fool of himself.
Su Han was quite unhappy when he saw Peng Mao coming to the venue with so many people: "Peng Mao, what kind of system do you have to bring so many people to the venue?" Disturbing Zhang Xiangye's Yaxing, I'm asking for you! ”
Peng Mao hurriedly knelt down, and the people of the Cao Yuan knelt on the ground together.
"General Qiyu, my subordinates don't want to disturb your lords' Yaxing, but this matter is very important, and my subordinates have to say it!" Peng Mao said anxiously.
Zhang Lu glanced at Zhang Shumo, who was kneeling in the crowd, and then said to Peng Mao: "It's okay, the true Yaxing is not so easy to disturb." If you have anything, say it. ”
Peng Mao lowered his head: "The subordinate ordered Zhang Shumo to take care of the treasures that His Majesty gave to you, who knew that when I went to the side courtyard just now, I found that Zhang Shumo actually fainted and fell to the ground, after checking, we found that there was a jade pendant missing from the items given to General Liu Ye!" ”
"What? Someone dared to steal something in the General's Mansion, he was impatient! Su Han slapped the table heavily, and then looked at Zhang Shumo: "Who knocked you unconscious, have you ever seen that person's face clearly?" ”
Zhang Shumo hurriedly replied: "Back to the adult, that person stunned me from behind, so the villain didn't see the appearance of the person who came, and I only saw him wearing a pair of official boots before fainting!" ”
"Seriously!?" Zhang Lu stood up violently after hearing this, you must know that only the imperial court officials will wear official boots!
Zhang Shumo's eyes swayed, revealing a hesitant look: "Back to the adult, the villain was dizzy when he was beaten, and now he is not sure, but it seems that it should be official boots." ”
"Nonsense! According to your words, isn't this thief an official of the court? A bearded general scolded Zhang Shumo, and then said to Zhang Lu and Su Han: "Master Zhang, General Su, according to what I have seen in my humble duties, this guy is derelict in his duties, and he is afraid of punishment when he loses something, so he deliberately said so!" ”
Su Han frowned: How could anyone dare to steal on such an important day today? And Peng Mao has always been steady, why did he bring the people of the Cao Yuan to make trouble here? There must be something else strange about this matter, so let's wait and see what happens.
After listening to the bearded man's words, Zhang Lu looked at Zhang Shumo, and then said to Su Han: "General Su, this matter is quite strange, whether it is the caretaker's dereliction of duty or not, in short, if something is lost, someone must steal it." Even His Majesty's reward dares to steal, don't you really take me as a prime minister in your eyes! ”
Su Han hurriedly saluted Zhang Lu: "Don't worry, Lord Zhang, this incident happened in the General's Mansion, and I will definitely find out about this matter!" After speaking, Su Han shouted to his subordinates: "Come on, gather everyone in the house and interrogate them one by one." And the people who have been to the house today, all of them have been arrested for me, and I want to see who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head! ”
When Liu Kuang heard Su Han's words, he was frightened into a cold sweat: I don't know which person who doesn't have long eyes went to hit the surname Zhang, but he really killed himself. I obviously took the jade pendant before, and I'm afraid no one will believe it when I say it now. If this jade pendant is searched out, then it will not be washed by jumping into the Yellow River!
