Chapter 606: What a Crime?
I didn't sleep well for a few days in my hometown, and after returning home, I slept on the chaise longue.
Lie Changan changed his clothes and prepared to go to the barracks, he had also delayed too much official business because of this matter in the past few days, so he had to go to the barracks to deal with it quickly.
It's just that before going out, when Lie Changan passed by the lobby, he suddenly took a look and turned around and walked towards Nanyuan.
When my grandmother heard Lie Chang'an's footsteps, she immediately stood up, and saw him striding with his head held high, his face as calm as water, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, guessing that it seemed that she had retreated with her whole body, and she was safe.
"Grandmother."
Lie Chang'an walked in and bowed.
Grandmother nodded, her eyebrows and eyes were kind, and she showed a relieved smile, "It's okay if you're fine, it seems that the matter has been clarified, is it really Pei Song's self-theft?" ”
Lie Changan frowned, his thin lips opened lightly, "No." ”
"Oh?"
Grandmother's face sank, "He didn't admit his guilt?" ”
"He didn't do it, so why is he guilty?"
Lie Changan's eyes stared directly at his grandmother, as if he could see through people's hearts, and asked meaningfully, "Why does grandmother have to think that it is Pei Song without any evidence?" ”
Grandmother asked with a smile, "Grandmother is just guessing, after all, if he didn't confess, how would you be safe?" Only then did my grandmother guess that the matter must have come to light. ”
Lie Changan pondered for a moment, and said, "Grandmother, there is one thing I want to ask my grandmother in person, and I ask my grandmother to tell me the truth." ”
"Just say it."
"On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, why did my grandmother send off the people in the house early to rest?"
Grandmother said very calmly, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I want them all to have a good rest, which can be regarded as a reward for their hard work in the Liefu." ”
"However, my grandmother has never planned to do this on Mid-Autumn Festival in the past few years, so why is this year so special?"
Grandmother's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and she said coldly, "What do you mean by that?" Are you interrogating a suspicious grandmother? ”
"Chang'an doesn't dare."
Lie Chang'an remained silent, neither humble nor arrogant, "It's just that Chang'an is very curious, why did my grandmother dismiss the people in the house at the same time in advance on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival to rest, and it should not be a coincidence that 300,000 taels of silver disappeared from the treasury on the second day." Chang'an just guessed whether it was someone who took this opportunity to steal his grandmother's key and conspired with others to steal the 300,000 taels of silver. ”
"Your speculation is nonsense!"
Grandmother's face suddenly sank, and she scolded angrily, "The people in the house are all trained by me, and I never have the courage to do such a thing!" And I have already stated that the key to the treasury kept here by me is impossible for even Mama Gui to get except me! When you say this, you still suspect your grandmother! ”
Grandmother looked at him with disappointed eyes, "You really chill Grandmother!" If you are the grandmother who raised you with hard work, you can also doubt it, why do you believe in your hometown so firmly? She also keeps the key to the treasury, so she doesn't have this suspicion?! ”
"Grandmother."
Lie Changan heard that his grandmother's words were definitely deliberately aimed at his hometown, his eyes deepened, and he said in a displeased tone, "With the identity of her hometown, there is no need for her to take these 300,000 taels of silver privately, and you know this very well." What's more, as my wife, it is impossible for her not to know that if she touches this official money, she will inevitably implicate me, and what good will it do her? ”
