Chapter 270: Wang Cang solves the case
Following Wang Xu's instructions, Dian Wei didn't say much, arched his hand, and left quickly. In the midst of everyone's discussions, in a moment's time, a pretty maid came over.
Although Qingwen is the maidservant in charge of the VIP courtyard, Wang Xu, the maid in the house, knows everything. So he was not unfamiliar, and before he could get there, he asked sternly: "Qingwen, do you know what I called you over?" ”
"The slave knows! The guard had already informed the slave that it was because of the theft of the lady's ring. Hearing Wang Xu's inquiry, this Qingwen seemed calm and calm, without any discoloration at all.
"Hmmm! Well, since you know, I won't repeat it. The ring was stolen in the main courtyard, and according to the guards on duty, there were only seven people who entered the main courtyard today, and you were one of them. Saying that, Wang Xu paused, his eyes were gradually turning stronger, and he looked directly at Qingwen and said, "Now in front of everyone, I'll just say it!" Among the seven people, Xiaoyu and the five of them are personal maidservants, and they can steal anything, but it is impossible to steal this ring. And the woman in the VIP courtyard is even more unlikely, so, for now, you are the most suspicious. If you really take it, then take the initiative to admit your mistake, there is still room for this matter. Otherwise, if it is found out, I will not spare you. ”
Wang Xu's momentum, how can Qingwen resist. Although Qingwen felt that she had the bottom in her heart, she couldn't help but be a little panicked in the face of his fierce eyes. When even the "poof" fell to his knees. "Master, slaves don't dare! This was definitely not the work of a slave. ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu was not in a hurry, he looked at Qingwen deeply, and his tone slowed down a little. "Oh? So who do you think it should be? Could it be that someone else can sneak into my mansion and steal it under the noses of the guards? ”
In the face of Wang Xu's questioning, although Qingwen had been prepared, her heart was still "pounding". It's just that at this moment, the arrow has to be released, so there is no half of the mouth to relax. "Master, the General's Mansion is heavily guarded, and the slave and maid think that this is unlikely, and it should be done by the people in the mansion. However, the slave can swear to the heavens, and she has never done it. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone who watched this scene was discussing, except for Liu Biao, Sun Jian and other celebrities, almost all began to deduce. Wang Xu was also silent, staring at Qingwen with his eyes, and thought to himself: This matter is indeed very strange, and now there is no evidence, but he can't wronged others. It's just that Qingwen is the most suspicious at present, so I have to talk to her more and test it out.
Thinking of this, Wang Xu was about to speak, but an unusually crisp children's voice suddenly came from behind him. Although it is a little childish, the words that can be said are very positive. "Third brother, this maid is right, the General's Mansion is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for ordinary people to come in."
Hearing this, everyone instantly looked at the person who spoke up, and when they saw that it was Wang Cang, who was 11 years old, they all showed a trace of consternation.
As a relative, Wang Fei did not go to the barracks to be on duty today, so he was also in the house. And at this moment, Wang Qian is not there, as Wang Cang's own brother, he couldn't help but scold: "Wang Cang, don't say much, what do you know at a young age?" Retire! ”
Seeing this, Wang Xu waved his hand disapprovingly, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay, let him say it!" The fifth brother has been smart since he was a child, maybe he has some unusual opinions! ”
"This ......" Wang Fei was obviously a little hesitant, but at this moment, in front of everyone, he couldn't contradict Wang Xu. In the end, he arched his hand and said no more.
However, Wang Cang was not deterred at all, and did not show any discoloration in the face of everyone's eyes, but stepped forward and said to Wang Xu with a smile: "Third brother, this maid is right, this matter should be done by someone in the house." ”
said, but did not explain his reason, but turned his head to look at Qingwen who was kneeling on the ground and said: "Qingwen, since you are willing to swear to the sky, everyone must believe that you didn't do it, but who do you think did it?" ”
As soon as these words came out, many people couldn't help but laugh, thinking that he would say something, but they didn't expect to say such childish words. Wang Fei wanted to step forward to stop drinking, but unfortunately, Wang Xu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop it. He was very interested in Wang Cang's unexpected appearance, although he was very idiotic to say, but at the moment, Wang Cang's demeanor was calm, and he was not a child making stupid mistakes at all, so he still wanted to wait for him to continue, and see what amazing moves he would make. Anyway, even if it's a joke, it's nothing, after all, it's just an 11-year-old child.
Wang Cang didn't pay attention to these at all, and still looked at Qingwen with an innocent smile on his face, looking very kind.
When Na Qingwen heard such an inquiry, she was secretly happy in her heart, and as soon as her mind turned, she smiled slightly: "This matter, the slave maid is not good at guessing out of thin air." ”
"Oh! That's right. Hearing this, Wang Cang's face was suddenly full of regret and looked very disappointed.
But then he walked to Wang Xu's side, pulled the corner of his clothes, and said with a slight smile: "Third brother, can you let me ask the others too?" Maybe you can ask! After speaking, he quietly gave Wang Xu a look.
Seeing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this Wang Cang is really interesting. After thinking about it, he turned his head and saw that Xu Shu also nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll let you ask first." ”
"Thank you, third brother!" Wang Cang smiled suddenly, and immediately did not hesitate, looking like a little adult, he arched his hand to Dian Wei in a proper manner: "Trouble General Dian to bring the rest of the suspicious sisters over, is it okay?" ”
"Huh! It doesn't matter, it's a matter of duty. For Wang Cang's polite request, Dian Wei also smiled honestly. It's just that his eyes are looking at Wang Xu.
This time, Wang Xu hesitated for a moment, mainly because since he wanted to bring all of them, he would inevitably bring Cai Yan over, and it would be more troublesome at that time. However, with so many guests present at the moment, it would be very bad if there was no one with them. After a quick calculation in his heart, he nodded. "Dian Wei, when you invite Cai Wenji, be polite and tell the truth."
Hearing this, Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, he didn't know who Cai Wenji was, but he was not stupid, and he quickly understood. He said "no" and turned to leave.
After a while, Cai Yan, Xiao Yu, Xiao Min and other five close attendants were all brought over. It's just that Cai Yong didn't follow, obviously he trusted Wang Xu very much, and he didn't want to be exposed in front of everyone, after all, Liu Biao, Sun Jian and others still knew him. As for Cai Yan, she has always been that gentle and elegant.
"Slaves and maids (people's daughters) see General Wang." In front of everyone, the girls bowed very solemnly.
Wang Xu smiled slightly, but he also said with relief: "The reason for inviting you to come, I think Dian Wei has already explained, so I have to be wronged." As he spoke, he smiled at Cai Yan alone, signaling her to feel at ease.
After seeing Cai Yan smile back, he turned his head to look at Wang Cang, pointed at Cai Yan and said, "Fifth brother, this sister is a distinguished guest, if you ask, you should pay attention to etiquette." ”
"Third brother, rest assured!" Wang Cang didn't hesitate at all, and nodded yes.
Then he looked at a few people carefully, and then asked again. And the words asked were very strange, all of them were just one sentence: "Has my sister ever taken it?" ”
Of course, this kind of questioning could not have a result, and all the women did not hesitate, and immediately shook their heads and said no.
Seeing this, the guests couldn't help laughing. Even Wang Xu was a little puzzled, what is going on with this Wang Cang? Are you really stupid? In history, he is one of the seven sons of Jian'an, although he is only 11 years old, but since he is out, he will not be so stupid, right? And as far as you can observe for yourself, he's also a very smart person, huh?
Just when Wang Xu was puzzled, Wang Cang's next move was even more surprising. It seemed that because he couldn't ask the result, his expression was very frustrated, and then he turned around and said coquettishly to Wang Xu: "Third brother, I don't think the sisters are the ones who do this kind of thing, so it's better to just forget it!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the guests burst into laughter.
Seeing Wang Cang making such a fool of himself, not only Wang Fei, but even Wang Yue and Wang Kai couldn't stop scolding. "Stand down!" "Fifth brother, don't mess around!" "Fifth brother, step aside!"
However, the two elders, Wang Hao and Wang Yan, did not say anything, glanced at each other, and chose to let their brothers and sisters deal with it. And Wang Xu was also very disappointed, he didn't expect it to end like this, sighed, and was about to refuse out loud, but Xu Shu next to him secretly pushed him.
Although Xu Shu didn't say anything, Wang Xu had a heart-to-heart connection with her, and of course she understood that she was asking her to agree. Although I don't know why, I didn't hesitate without any hesitation, and even nodded: "Okay! Since my fifth brother pleaded for the thief, and now it is difficult to find evidence for a while, I don't want to wronged the good person, so let's expose this matter! ”
In an instant, everyone looked at Wang Xu in a daze, very puzzled. No matter how you look at it, there is a need to investigate this matter, so forget it? The guests were not easy to speak, but Wang Fei and Wang Kai immediately said urgently: "Third brother, can't this matter be left like this?" On the wedding day, the token was stolen, but it was very unlucky! ”
"Huh! I don't believe in this, just a ring, forget it! Wang Xu immediately pretended to be magnanimous and waved his hand and smiled.
But as soon as the words fell, Qingwen's face changed, and she suddenly became anxious. In her thoughts, this matter has been planned for a long time, if she doesn't succeed, how can she please Xu Shu, wouldn't it be a waste of all her efforts? didn't have time to think about it immediately, so he pretended to hesitate and said, "Master, in fact, the slave maid has a little clue. ”
"Oh?" Wang Xu's steps were abrupt and slowly turned back.
But before he could speak, Wang Cang hurriedly laughed and said, "Sister! Why didn't you tell me earlier if you have a clue! Let me be so embarrassed in public, I don't know what the clue is? ”
In the face of Wang Cang's inquiry, Qingwen did not have the slightest vigilance, and when she bowed slightly, she slowly replied: "Back to the fifth son, the slave maid used to blame her because she didn't want to blame her, but this matter was just like that, and it was unlucky for the master and wife, so the slave and maid had to say it." Actually, I saw ...... today."
As she spoke, she paused with pretense of hesitation before she said softly: "Actually, I have seen this female guest named Cai Wenji enter and leave the main courtyard before, and when she came out, she was still holding a beautiful small box in her hand. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar and looked at Cai Yan one after another.
Cai Yan was even more stunned for an instant, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. When Dian Wei informed her before, he had already told her that she had temporarily found a title, called Cai Wenji. So, she knew right away that she was talking about herself.
Wang Xu also vaguely understood at this moment, and his eyes narrowed slightly. But now is not the time to say anything, so I didn't rush to speak, but watched quietly.
After a while, Cai Yan suddenly reacted, his face instantly turned red, and he was obviously extremely angry. It's just that, after all, he has lived under Cai Yong's education since he was a child, and he knows books and etiquette, so although he is extremely angry in his heart, he still maintains his demeanor and argues softly: "I have no grievances with my sister, why did my sister frame me like this?" Although the folk girl is mediocre, she also knows that etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame, morality and law-abiding, how can she do such a stealing thing? ”
As he spoke, he quickly turned his head to look at Wang Xu and explained: "General Wang, the people's daughter will enter the main courtyard today because I heard someone calling outside, saying that it was General Wang who called the people's daughter, so I went to visit the main courtyard!" But when he arrived, the main courtyard was empty, thinking that General Wang was busy with other things, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, and he had never entered any room, how could he steal anything? ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu didn't have time to express his position, but Qingwen was already competing with each other: "What is the evidence for what you said, the main courtyard is empty, if you go in and steal the ring, no one will know." The guards are guarding the gate of the courtyard, and when they see that you are a guest, they will not pay attention to such small objects, which is very suspicious. Besides, I saw with my own eyes that when you returned to the VIP Courtyard, you had a beautiful box in your hand, how can I explain it? Besides, is it not an excuse for you to say that someone has called, but you have never seen anyone, and you cannot testify against anyone? ”
was forced by Qingwen so aggressively, Cai Yan was also anxious. Thinking of the cause and effect of this incident, although he understood that he was framed, he couldn't produce any evidence, and a touch of sadness flashed on his face. "It is true that the people's daughter has not committed any theft, and I hope the general will see it."
"You have no evidence, but rely on your own words, how can you convince everyone?" Qingwen immediately retorted.
"Why did my sister wronged me so much." Cai Yan was already full of grief and anger at this time, seeing that everyone was looking at her suspiciously, she couldn't help but say indignantly: "You can go to my residence to search, and you can ask about my whereabouts, and you can know that what I said is true." If so, the women of the people are willing to die to apologize. ”
Of course, Wang Xu didn't believe that Cai Yan would do such a thing, there was no reason at all! It's just that the current words are very unfavorable to Cai Yan, and in front of everyone, he can't just ignore it, so he couldn't help frowning immediately.
However, Wang Cang suddenly laughed, attracted everyone's attention, and relieved Wang Xu. "Hahahaha! There is no need to search it, the ring must be with Sister Wenji, but it was not stolen by her! ”
After speaking, without waiting for everyone to react, he took a few steps forward, glared at Qingwen with angry eyes, and scolded: "What a poisonous scorpion woman, say!" Why? ”
