119 Lost Property (2nd Watch)
Song Ning came out to see the excitement.
Wei Qing and several people were there, and even Pu Hansheng opened the door and came out, standing next to her, and looked into the courtyard together.
In the courtyard, all the monks and monks in the temple were standing, and everyone was indignant and angry at the moment.
The quarrel was a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby figure and a crow-blue coat, who was pointing at the monks and scolding at the moment: "These gold, silver and jade objects are all customized by the guests and me, and I came to deliver them." β
"It's worth tens of thousands of taels."
"Now that it's lost in your temple, I'm not looking for anyone you are looking for?"
"What's more, when I moved in yesterday, the little monk who came to bring me water saw with your own eyes the things in my baggage."
"You stole these things."
As the chubby man spoke, he howled weakly: "This is my lifeline, if I want to lose it, I will just cut my neck." β
"Don't worry, don't worry, since the thing is lost, and it is such a valuable thing, we will definitely help you find it together." Mingjue presided over and said, "Lao Wei has already asked the disciple to report to the official, and the people from the official office will come later, and the matter will definitely be investigated." β
Ma Santong didn't know when he walked to Song Ning's side, and said in a low voice: "It didn't take long for him to listen to the lecture of the great monk in the courtyard, and when he returned to the room after listening, he lost it." β
Song Ning remembered this person, and when she came in, she saw him sitting at the back with three other pilgrims, listening to the lecture.
Moreover, when she entered the courtyard of the row, all the way she came, and all the doors were closed except for the seven of them, which were open.
"Donor, your surname?" Mingjue asked the man who lost something,
The middle-aged man who lost something replied, "My name is Zhang Runtian." β
"Master Zhang, don't worry, when the official comes, he will find out."
Zhang Runtian pointed to the hollow little monk: "No one in this courtyard knows that I brought money, except for him." β
"Last night, he came in and brought me tea and saw me counting things."
"I didn't leave my room until noon, and in the afternoon he called me to go to a three-quarter hour class, and when I came back my things were gone. It's not that he can have anyone. β
Everyone's eyes fell on the hollow body.
"I didn't." Hollow was startled and knelt down for Mingjue, "Master, the apprentice didn't take anything from Master Zhang." β
Zhang Runtian asked him, "Then did you see my things yesterday?" β
Hollow nodded: "I brought water in, and I did see that you were counting objects." β
"ButγBut I haven't touched your things, I swear to the Buddha."
Hollow is not very old, so frightened, his eyes are suddenly watery.
"YouβReally, no?" Mingjue asks hollow.
Hollow folded his hands and replied, "Back to Master, there is no apprentice." β
Mingjue shook his head and asked him to get up, and said to Zhang Runtian: "Master Zhang, let's wait for someone from the official office to come." β
Suddenly, another tall man in his thirties, wearing a long sword, said, "We were all listening to the lecture in the afternoon, and the little monks were almost there. β
"It was only when these people came that the abbot and the hollow little master left to pick them up."
"You don't have time to steal."
The one who spoke was also one of the four pilgrims.
The remaining two pilgrims, one of whom was an old woman of about sixty years old, although she was old, her eyes were clear and she seemed very energetic. The other was a tall and thin old man, wearing a single black robe. His leg was lame, and he was holding a bamboo pole in his right hand, and he couldn't stand for a long time listening to everyone, so he leaned half against the wall.
"That's right." The old woman's afterglow also glanced at Song Ning and the seven of them, "Just these seven children lost their things when they came in noisily." β
As soon as she said this, Wei Qing and Fang Ruijie, who had been watching the excitement, were immediately furious.
"What did you say, we stole his stuff?" Wei Qing was simply laughed angrily, "You don't ask, who is the father of the five of us?" β
"As for his 10,000 taels, put it in front of us, and we can't look down on it."
"As for the other two, I don't know, especially the traitor."
As soon as his words fell, he heard a voice say sarcastically: "Gongzi Wei, your father's monthly salary is eighty stone rice, and he has to save ten thousand taels for ten years, so you can't look at it?" β
The wounds on Wei Qingqi's buttocks were all ruptured, and he suddenly turned his head and pointed at Song Ning: "Song Shi'an, are you on a par with the young master?" β
"Who can stir up trouble!" Song Ning said.
"Master beat you to death." Wei Qing is coming to fight Song Ning.
Tang Bingzhong and Zhuo Qin hugged him and persuaded him.
Mingjue has a head and two big, even if he is a monk, he is also on fire, he said: "Two donors, things are already very messy, you two don't add to the chaos." β
"He stole it, he is still a traitor, it must be him." Wei Qing pointed at Song Ning, "Mingjue preside, arrest her." β
Everyone's eyes fell on Song Ning.
Ma Santong slipped back.
"He actually brought a Taoist priest to the temple, and she was clearly uneasy and kind." Fang Ruijie said.
Ma Santong silently pulled his Buddha dust into his trousers.
Song Ning didn't look at it, and said in a low voice: "Your pants are too tight, and it's indecent to stuff them in." β
"There is no big girl or little daughter-in-law, what's indecent."
Song Ning glanced at him.
Ma Santong pulled the Buddha dust out of his trousers again: "I forgot that you are." β
Song Ning pushed him away, raised his hand and pointed at Wei Qing: "There is no evidence, don't talk nonsense." β
Ma Santong leaned in and whispered in her ear: "You are more like a plaster in the countryside than Wei Qing." β
"That's what I want." Song Ning waved his hand.
Ma Santong retreated.
"Master Song." Mingjue said, "You are at peace, at ease!" β
Wei Qing jumped up and pointed at Song Ning: "Just what she stole and search for her." β
"Yes, we testify."
The other four chimed in.
"Four sons, do you see it?" Zhang Runtian asked excitedly.
The four of them kept nodding.
decided to leave Song Ning speechless.
"Only they have time to steal." The man with the sword who had just spoken.
"Master Song?" Mingjue looked at Song Ning.
Hollow raised his hand and said, "I, I testify that he has never left the room...... He simply didn't have time. β
Zhang Runtian glared at the hollow viciously: "That's what you stole it." β
"I didn't." Hollow shook his head.
Wei Qingzheng pointed at Song Ning to speak, but Song Ning raised his hand to interrupt everyone's words and said, "The thing was lost during the time we came in?" β
"Yes!" Zhang Runtian said, "The afternoon class is never from the hour to the hour. You came in at two o'clock, and it was over in a short time, and when we went back to the room to check, the baggage was gone. β
Song Ning bowed his head and nodded, "Where are you from, why did you bring so many valuables to the capital alone?" β
Zhang Runtian said: "I am from Baoding Mansion. My family has been buying and selling jade jewelry for three generations, and the trade with me is not as good as before. β
"Last month, I received an order, and the other party paid me 3,000 taels in advance, asking me to make three bat heads, two ghost noodles, and two Pixiu Hetian jade waist pendants."
"There are also three other golden hairpins and two pairs of jade grates."
"With the addition of the three thousand taels, I borrowed money and advanced seven thousand taels."
"If you don't believe me, just look at my account book, I remember it clearly, and I didn't adulterate or lie at all."
Song Ning took his account book and looked through it, returned it to him, and said, "Do you and your employer make an appointment to hand over here?" β
"No, the time we agreed on is October 15, that is, we will meet at Tianxiang Teahouse the day after tomorrow, and he will give me the final payment."
Song Ning nodded slightly: "Then why are you here today?" β
"A friend of mine happened to come to the capital in his carriage at noon the day before yesterday, and as soon as I saw that there was a car on the way, I took his car here, and I looked for it after arriving yesterday afternoon. Originally, I thought that this was under the roots of the imperial city, and it must be safe. β
"Unexpectedly, I lost something." He slapped his thigh, squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and broke down and cried.
Song Ning's gaze swept around everyone's faces, thoughtful.
Wei Qingdao: "You really stole the money, pretend to ask, and then take out the money?" β
Song Ning was having fun and stared at Wei Qing: "How about we gamble our lives?" β
"I didn't take the thing, you know very well. Why don't we compete with each other to see who finds the money thief first. β
"Whoever loses, dies immediately!"
"Do you dare?"
Wei Qing opened his mouth wide, stunned by Song Ning's words, he pointed at Song Ning and said, "You, you, and the master are still afraid that you won't succeed!" β
"Bet on it."
Tang Bingzhong grabbed Wei Qing and said, "You are confused, what are you gambling with him?" β
"My father said that the key to investigating a case is to have clues and be sure before you can start the court. Isn't it stupid for you to bet with him without knowing anything? β
Wei Qing was right when he thought about it, and pointed at Song Ning and said, "Don't gamble on your life, the master's life is very expensive." β
Song Ning bowed: "Then bet on something else." Whoever loses will kowtow a hundred times on Xuanwu Avenue and shout a hundred grandfathers to the other party. β
"Bet on it!" Wei Qingdao.
Song Ning snapped his fingers and said to everyone: "Please testify, I bet with Wei Qing that whoever wins will be the grandfather of the other party." β
No one dared to answer her.
Each of these demon kings of the mixed world has a prominent family, who would dare to supervise them to bet?
The monk didn't dare.
Qiu Yi was speechless, I really didn't know what to say, everyone used to say that Song Shi'an Hun in private, only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, if it wasn't for Song Yuanshi's protection and help, he would have lost the face of the Song Mansion a long time ago.
But looking at it now, Song Ning's is more muddy than Song Shi'an.
She hadn't seen any young lady like Song Ning.
The old man was worried that she would not be discovered and debunked at all, who would have thought that this was actually their young lady?
It's okay to make trouble.
"Good!" Pu Hansheng responded, "I testify! β
Ma Santong came up and pulled her, and said in a low voice: "You are tired of betting, a hundred heads knocked, how painful." β
"I'm not going to lose, and besides, I can die early."
Ma Santong's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up: "Shameless!" β
"Each other, each other."
