"When did Dongchang become so interested in this case of chicken and dog thieves?" Meng Yan Shi Ran walked in from the door.

"Master Meng!"

On this occasion, Meng Yan didn't want to greet Sai Xiaoyu, so he just nodded slightly.

"Master Meng, you came just in time, take care of your subordinates, you really don't understand the rules at all!" Cao Qin's wicked people sued first.

"Yes, Zhang Xuan, how do you have to live with Master Cao?"

"Returning to Lord Meng, it's like this......

"It's such a small case, you have to make trouble to the point where water and fire are incompatible, don't you want outsiders to see the joke?" Meng Yan smiled.

"How does Lord Meng want to solve it?" Cao Qin asked with a cold face, anyway, he had a thought that he would never let Meng Yan feel better.

"I heard about it just now, this old Hu confessed, last year, the Jiao sisters and brothers lost a sum of money on the grounds that Jiao Hong was not there, is this year also a repeat of the Jiao sisters and brothers?" Meng Yan smiled slightly.

"What does Master Meng mean that the Jiao brothers and sisters have framed this surnamed Hu?" Cao Qin's face changed slightly.

"The official didn't say that, since there is a precedent in the past, then the official has reason to suspect that Jiao Hong deliberately created a murder, and then let himself disappear and hide, and then Bai Jiao's used Jiao Hong's account management as a reason, no one is there, so he will not be paid, and the wages of these workers will be relied on." Meng Yan said, "Lord Cao, do you think this hypothesis of this official is reasonable?" ”

"No, my lord, we don't have a debt ......" At this time, Bai Jiaoshi suddenly shouted, defending himself.

"Bai Jiao's. Do you want the official to bring you a few of them, and remember how you ordered someone to beat them out? Meng Yan asked sharply.

"People's women......" Bai Jiao's frightened eyes were suddenly silent under Meng Yan's fierce eyes, and he didn't dare to speak for half a minute.

"Lord Cao, I have to say, the efficiency of your East Factory is really a little low, after looking for so many days, no one has found it, this official really suspects that you are doing with the money that the court gave you?"

"Why does Lord Meng have to hold the gun and stick together, where is Jiao Hong. You know best! ”

"Didn't I say it just now. In order to repay the debt, Jiao Hong directed a good scene of assassination, and then hid out, no wonder you haven't found it for so many days! Meng Yan smiled. Seemingly. This is to find Jiao Hong. It had to fall on his sister, Bai Jiao's. ”

"Lord Meng wanted to take Bai Jiao's family back for questioning, but the official did not stop him. But this guy surnamed Hu stole the owner's property, and this official will also take it back for questioning. Cao Qin said.

"Stealing the property of the master's family, can there be any physical evidence?"

"Of course there are witnesses, Bai Jiao, the head mother of the Bai family, is a human witness, as for the physical evidence, it will be there when the official searches the family surnamed Hu!" Cao Qin said.

"Lord Cao must think that this Uncle Hu stole the property of the master's family, and he must be able to find evidence in his house?" Meng Yan sneered, the thing that Dongchang did to frame him was not much less than that of the previous Jinyi Weibei Ya.

It is lucky to be targeted by Dongchang and bankrupt, but if you don't get your family ruined, these people have no humanity at all, and some only have greed and interests.

"This case is actually very simple, the official will break it now, Lord Cao, do you want to supervise it?" Meng Yan Road.

"Lord Meng wants to judge the case on the spot?"

"Can't you?" Meng Yan said, "It's just a theft case, it's not that complicated, the official only needs a stick of incense!" ”

"Okay, this official wants to see how Master Meng broke this case within a stick of incense!"

"Zhang Xuan!"

"The lower official is here!"

"Prepare, just in this courtyard, this official is going to be promoted to the court to ask about the case!" Meng Yan commanded.

"Whoa!" Zhang Xuan nodded, and quickly prepared with the people, and after a while, the open-air public hall where the eight brocade guards acted as officials was ready.

"Mighty ......"

"Take the plaintiff Bai Jiao's family!"

Bai Jiao was brought up, although she was a little panicked, but when she saw Cao Qin sitting on the side, her mind seemed to settle down suddenly.

"Bai Jiao is, this official asked you, when and where did you find out that your family's belongings were stolen?"

"It's this morning!" Bai Jiao was determined, knelt on the ground and said.

"What and how many of the lost possessions have been lost?"

"This ......"

"Bai Jiao's, answer this official's question!"

Bai Jiao's face turned pale, she had the ability to frame casually, she didn't think about these details at all, she originally thought that when she arrived at Dongchang and Sanmu, this old Hu would admit it herself, where would she have thought that there would be such a change.

"How much money did you lose?"

"The women just found that their belongings were missing, and they don't know how many?" Bai Jiao hurriedly lowered his head and thought about countermeasures.

"This official asks you again, when did Uncle Hu leave the Bai family?"

"Yesterday afternoon."

"When?"

"It's not time yet!"

"Okay, where are your belongings, and who knows them?" Meng Yan asked again.

"Put it in the study, and the people who know it include the people's women and the ......"

"Who else?"

"The women don't know." was asked aggressively by Meng Yan, Bai Jiao's panicked all of a sudden, a lie is a lie, and if it can't withstand rigorous scrutiny, he will be destroyed first.

"Take Bai Jiao's to the side, and bring Uncle Hu up!" Meng Yan commanded.

"Uncle Hu, this official asks you some questions, you have to answer them truthfully, otherwise this official will ask you a crime of falsely accusing the master's family!"

"The big man is on top, the villain doesn't dare!"

"Okay, Uncle Hu, when did you come to work in the Bai family, what do you usually do, and what is the salary?" Meng Yan asked.

"The villain came to the Bai family to work this spring, usually mainly cleaning the courtyard and pruning flowers and trees, as well as feeding the livestock, the salary is 12 times a month, and the main family also takes care of a meal."

It turned out to be a gardener and a handyman.

"Has the Bai family paid your wages?"

"I gave it for the first three months, but I deducted three times a month, saying that I would give it together at the end of the year, I thought at the time. It's also good to save zài's main family, at the end of the year, there is a sum of money for the New Year, but I didn't expect that in the fourth month, the main family said that there is a big business to turnover, and the salary will be settled together at the end of the year. ”

"If you don't get paid, how can you live?"

"You can borrow money from the master's family, but you still have to pay interest on the money you borrow...... Uncle Hu sighed.

After Zhang Xuan, who was making the record, listened to it, he almost couldn't help but smash the inkstone into Bai Jiao's face, which was too much. He was so greedy for money. No wonder Bai Xinyuan had to testify in front of his neighbors that he gave Su Xinzhai to his daughter.

This is really a pair of wonderful siblings.

"So, the main Bai Jiao clan owes you a total of one hundred and seventeen wages?" Meng Yan asked.

"Yes, my lord!"

"Not so much, sir. He also broke one of my bowls. Broke a broom. And scissors, all of which will be compensated to me! Bai Jiao was not convinced.

Uncle Hu trembled angrily, how could there be such a master. I'll clean your yard, this challenge is broken, and you're going to count him?

And scissors, so to build branches and flowers, you have to bring your own scissors?

As for the broken bowl, it was just a clay pot, which was used to hold feed for the donkeys at home.

Even if these are counted as his, they don't add up to the usual money, and the Jiao sisters and brothers are ruthless in calculating the accounts, and they directly erase a fraction of his salary.

That's seventeen, and it's almost enough to catch up with his salary for a month and a half.

"Uncle Hu, when did you come home yesterday?"

"The villain remembers that it's not dark yet, it's bright, but I don't know exactly what time it is." Uncle Hu said.

"Then when did you come to the Bai family today?"

"Around the hour."

"Are you alone?"

"No, I met Mama Zhang, the cook of Baifu, at the door, and I entered the house with her." Uncle Hu said.

"Do you know where the Lord's house hides its belongings?"

"How does that villain know, the main house guards us like a thief, how can it be possible for us to know this, the study is locked, and if we get a little closer, we will be scolded!" Uncle Hu said.

The truth is actually obvious, Uncle Hu doesn't know where Bai Jiao's money is hidden, how can he steal the property?

"My lord, the mark has been checked, there is no trace of human pry on the door lock of the study, the window is also intact, and no suspicious traces have been found, and we have also found a large amount of gold, silver and treasure money in the place where Bai Jiao's said that the money was hidden."

"Come on, search Uncle Hu's body!"

"Whoa!"

The two brocade guards stepped forward and searched Uncle Hu up and down, but only found seven copper coins and nothing else.

"Bai Jiao, since you said that the property was stolen, why did the official find a large amount of property in the same place in your study, and what explanation do you have?"

"He just took a part?"

"It's not impossible, Lord Meng, this official Jian yì went to the house of this surnamed Hu to check it, and he must find something!" Cao Qin jumped up and said.

"Bai Jiao, you just said that you found out that the theft was this morning, right?"

"Yes!" Bai Jiao's heart was extremely weak, and he lowered his head and said.

"When did you find out?"

"Come together in the morning, the specific time, the women can't remember clearly......"

"Bold Bai Jiao, you not only slandered the good as a thief, but also openly deceived the official!" Meng Yan slapped the table, pointed at Bai Jiao's and shouted categorically.

"Master, the women don't dare, the women are wronged!"

"Bring Bai Jiao's personal girl Xiaoyuan up!"

When Bai Jiao looked at Xiao Yuan, his eyes suddenly turned black, and he fell down all of a sudden.

"Xiaoyuan, this official asked you, has your wife been to the study today?" Meng Yan asked.

"Back to my lord, my wife hasn't been to the study today!" Where did Xiao Yuan see such a formation, he was scared and trembling.

"Master Meng, it's not easy to conclude that Bai Jiao's is lying based on the words of a little girl, right?" Cao Qin said.

"Master Cao, you defend the Bai Jiao clan everywhere, which makes the official curious, do you have any special relationship with this Bai Jiao clan?" Meng Yan smiled.

"Master Meng, you are slandering, spewing blood!" Cao Qin was like stepping on a cat's tail, and his face changed suddenly.

"Lord Cao, why are you so excited, you have to be calm, calm, this official is just a joke." Meng Yan Road.

"Master Meng, the official won't tell you, this case will be reported to the factory company, please make a decision!" Cao Qin stood up and said sharply.

"Such a small case alarmed Father-in-law Cao, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" Meng Yan said, "What's more, this case is already clear and clear, Bai Jiao's deliberately framed Uncle Hu in order to rely on the workers' wages, in fact, the Bai family did not steal, right?" ”

"Whether there is a theft or not, we will not know until the house surnamed Hu is searched!" Cao Qin said.

"Bai Jiao's family hasn't been to the study today, so how did she know that the study was stolen, the official asked her the number of thefts, she couldn't answer, the official ordered someone to search Uncle Hu's body, only found seven copper coins, and Uncle Hu was not in the Bai family from yesterday afternoon to this morning, and there were people who came over this morning, and after he came to the Bai family, he didn't go anywhere, and the first person he asked to see was Bai Jiao's, and he never left Bai Jiao's sight after that, do you want to ask everyone in the Bai family again?" Meng Yan was already full of voice.

"Lord Cao still doesn't believe it, does he?"

"Zhang Xuan, this official ordered you to take a team of people to search this old Uncle Hu's house!" Meng Yan ordered.

"Whoa!"

Cao Qin's face was pale, and Meng Yan was his army.

"Lord Cao, please, if you want this official to go with you, I'm glad to do it!" Meng Yan stared at Cao Qindao.

"No need, the official believes in Lord Meng's judgment!" Cao Qin said.

"This can't be done, the above are all the words of the official, how can it be counted, let's ask Lord Cao to take a trip, figure things out, everyone can rest assured!" Meng Yan was unwilling to let Cao Qin leave so lightly.

If this case is not completely settled, this guy will still use this excuse to talk about things at that time.

The shamelessness of the East Factory cannot be underestimated. (To be continued......)
