Chapter 66: Exposed
Everything is as usual, Peng is in charge of checking people, Wei Wei sneaks over, Jiang Ci is on the floor, just like a few nights ago, the cycle continues, and the cycle comes.
Only the sudden fireflies and noisy voices in the middle of the night broke the calm and ordinary tranquility in the middle of the night.
From the sound of hurried footsteps from far and near, it was destined that tonight would not be a night that could be a beautiful dream until dawn.
"Quick, quick, the people behind follow!"
The noisy voices mixed with the chaotic footsteps woke up Jiang Ci, who was still asleep.
As soon as he sat up and lifted the quilt, and was about to go to the door to see what had happened, a great movement came towards his room, and before he could shake his head, the door was kicked open, and the ashes hidden in the cracks rose and fell all over the man's black robe.
The strong man who took the lead was followed by several small servants, all carrying big red lanterns, which brightly lit up half of the room.
But fortunately, the curtain covered Wei Wei on the bed, and he could barely see Jiang Ci alone.
Seeing this, he hurriedly commanded the strong man with a stick in his hand: "Find out where the thief is hiding!" Don't hurt your son! ”
When the strong man heard the sound, he looked around the room, but the tightly closed curtain made him suspicious, and without saying a word, he waved his stick and attacked in the direction of the half-dim bed, the speed was so fast, fortunately, Jiang Ci reacted quickly enough, got up and stopped the person on the bed, and shouted loudly: "Stop!" There are no thieves! It was at this moment that the strong man stopped, but the stick in his hand was still hanging in the air.
"Jiang Gongzi, we are thinking about your thoughtfulness, offended!" Steward Peng hurriedly stepped forward and said, without leaving Jiang Ci time to respond, and directly instructed the strong man: "Why are you still stunned?" Check it out for me! ”
The strong man with brute strength nodded stupidly, stretched out his hand to push Jiang Ci away, and the moment he pinched Jiang Ci's arm, he threw him away and roared at everyone: "Are you questioning whether this son is harboring thieves now?" Breaking into my son's bedroom in the middle of the night, disturbing my peace and not talking, and now I want to forcibly search my son's bedroom? ”
At this moment, Wei Wei on the bed was also awakened by the noise, rubbing his half-open eyes, and just wanted to get up and lift the curtain to see what happened, but was robbed by Steward Peng's sharp voice: "Jiang Gongzi, where do the little ones dare to question you, it's just that this is about the safety of you and the entire Hundred Flowers Banquet boys, if there are really thieves in the pavilion and an accident, no one can afford it!" And Mr. Lao cooperates with us! ”
"My son also knows that Steward Peng is loyal to his duties and cares about the safety of the cabinet, but this tent is full of intimate clothes, and you even have to inspect my son's private belongings, isn't it appropriate? Besides, this son is still resting and sleeping, if he really enters the thief, how can he not know! You don't treat me like a three-year-old! ”
Jiang Ci scolded coldly, thinking that he would force them back, but he knew that this Peng steward had nothing to fear.
"Young Master Jiang, the little ones don't want to offend you like this, but who would leave the bed and not sleep and lay on the floor on this cold floor?" Steward Peng slanted his mouth and blew, his eyes looking at the futon spread on the ground at his feet.
Suffered...... Forget about the floor...... Don't panic, Jiang Ci, think of ideas!
Jiang Ci thought for a while and made up a reason: "Oh, you say this, this is my habit all along, these thousands of people have thousands of habits, isn't it that I sleep on the bed, and Steward Peng has opinions?" Besides, can you show evidence of the thieves in my house? ”
Steward Peng chuckled and said, "Young Master Jiang, look at what you said, how dare the little ones be so unruly if they have no basis for it." ”
Although he used honorifics on his lips, his tone was full of disdain, and he looked at a small guy behind him as he spoke: "Xunwei, tell Jiang Gongzi what you just saw!" ”
"Yes, Steward Peng." As soon as his words fell, a villain with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks heard the voice, Jiang Ci couldn't help but feel that this person was very familiar, but he couldn't remember whose entourage he was for a while.
The little guy bowed to him, and then began his wonderful performance, that is, these nonsense words, which reminded Jiang Ci of who his master was, after all, such nonsense language skills were not learned from his master Sun Qiong, who else could he learn from?
The little one got up to go to the toilet, and as soon as he got out of the toilet room, he saw a black shadow jumping over, and the little one was worried that it was a thief, so he secretly followed him to see where he was going, and then he followed him all the way to the other courtyard of the sons. Who knew that this little thief sneaked into Jiang Gongzi's house, and the little one was afraid of Jiang Gongzi's safety, so he called Steward Peng, and the little one didn't dare to lie, and what he said was true! ”
Xunwei's words were full of suspicions, and after Jiang Ci heard it, he sneered without a while: "Your name is Xunwei, right?" Sun Qiong's retinue? Your kung fu foundation for lying is still not as strong as your master. What you just said is ridiculous! To put it mildly, there are many houses in this courtyard, and they are complicated, and it is dark at night, and how did you manage to bring them all in such a quick time from the time you never came to my house? And so sure you didn't bring the wrong house? ”
Xunwei was dumbfounded by Jiang Ci's words, and he couldn't say why, and when he was thinking of other ways, his eyes blurred and saw another pair of small shoes under the bed.
"Steward Peng! This! This has a spare pair of shoes! Looks like...... It's still a pair of women's shoes! ”
Xunwei's voice pulled everyone's eyes over, and just when Jiang Ci wanted to bend down and take Wei Wei's shoes, he was suddenly preempted by Steward Peng: "Master Jiang, don't cover it up anymore, now the evidence is conclusive!" This harboring thief is a big deal, you just wait to go to Lord Yan to explain! ”
After Steward Peng finished speaking, he glanced at the strong man, and the strong man and several servants who were also tall and tall stepped forward to shackle Jiang Ci's hands and feet, and then walked in the direction of the tent.
Just when Steward Peng's hand was about to touch the indigo curtain, Jiang Ci's stopping voice came from the side: "You stop me!" ”
Later, taking advantage of the attention of those strong men, he used all his strength to break free, and stretched out his arms to block Steward Peng's arms.
He raised his eyes solemnly and stared at Steward Peng, like a majestic tiger protecting food, and his eyes looked extra terrifying under the reflection of the lantern.
"Don't even want to touch anyone! Inside, it's my wife. He uttered such a sentence word by word, and as soon as he said it, the whole room was dumbfounded.
The flaming lantern fell to the ground, shattered the bamboo skeleton heavily, and the red wax inside accidentally slipped off the platform, burning half of the lantern.
"Jiang Gongzi! You! You! You! This! Steward Peng was so angry by this sudden answer that he couldn't speak, and then turned his head to the people and ordered: "You guys, wait at the door, don't let him run away, I'll go and tell Lord Yan and Lord Liu." ”
After saying that, Steward Peng flung his sleeves and left the house angrily, and hurried towards the residence of the two adults, and the servants also obeyed his orders and strictly guarded the door of Jiang Ci's room.
Just as Xun Wei was leaving, Jiang Ci clearly saw the sinister smile on his face.
When the room was quiet again, he lit an oil lamp and gently lifted the curtain that he had been protecting behind him.
"Little crying bag, what tears are you shed?" He sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out a hand and slowly wiped away her tears for Wei Wei, there was no trace of reproach in his tone, but gentle as the moon.
Xu was scared by the sharp voices outside just now, and Xu blamed herself in her heart, Wei Wei cried even more fiercely when she saw the comforting smile on the corner of Jiang Ci's mouth, and said with a sob: "It's all ...... It's all because Wei Wei is disobedient...... I just want to follow...... Trouble again......"
Jiang Ci didn't blame her, he just scratched her little nose, and her face was filled with a good-looking smile: "Good-looking eyes are for laughing, not for crying, understand?" ”
"Well......" The little girl rubbed her eyes rudely, raised her head slightly and sniffed hard, trying to hold back the tears back into her stomach.
At this time, two heavy knocks sounded outside the house, and the person who spoke was Steward Peng: "Gongzi Jiang!" Lord Yan is waiting for you in the front hall! Let the little one take you there! ”
Jiang Cishan glanced at the figure on the window, did not answer a word, rubbed the little girl's fluffy hair, then stood up and tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the door.
The moment he opened the door, a slightly chilly wind swept in, and he quickly stepped out of the threshold and locked the door heavily, for fear that the sudden wind would cold her girl.
Outside the house, the silver moon was like a veil, sprinkled with night frost, Jiang Ci walked towards the moonlight, his face was calm.
