"What are you talking about?" Lu Xiufang was confused.

"Gardenia, tell Grandma Zhu what happened."

After listening to this story, Lu Xiufang suddenly got up angrily, couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, and was about to go out: "Okay, this eats something inside and outside!" In vain I was so good to him! There is nothing wrong with him in the shop, and he actually sells the owner for glory! See how I clean him up! ”

"Don't worry," Qingwan hurriedly stood up and held her down: "The show has to be played little by little." ”

Lu Xiufang looked at her sister-in-law and reluctantly stopped: "Hmph, let him be proud for a while, this kind of villain, don't teach him a lesson, pay it back!" ”

"If there is no gardenia, it is really not so easy to find out the truth," Qingwan smiled: "How did you get out, we won't ask, I'm afraid that I will suffer a lot of grievances because of this." ”

"No, no," Gardenia said busily, "what can be done for the two ladies, the slave maid is not happy." ”

"Changyong, this kid, has a good eye," Lu Xiufang sneered: "It's just that he doesn't deserve such a good girl." ”

"Alright, look at your anxious red head and swollen face, gather the guys." Qingwan said with a smile.

Lu Xiufang gritted her teeth angrily, came to the front, and asked all the people in the shop to come over, along with the guys, maids, etc., and stood in a room full of people.

"The secret recipe in the shop was stolen, and everyone knows it," Lu Xiufang looked around at the people who bowed their heads in front of them, and said sharply: "Who is so deprived of conscience and betraying the Lord to seek glory, I already know who he is, if I can turn myself in early, maybe I can still be lightly dismissed, otherwise, don't blame me for dealing with it on the contrary!" ”

There was silence below, and some of the people were sweaty or expressionless, but no one dared to come out and say anything.

Lu Xiufang sneered: "It seems that this person is really a dead duck with a hard mouth!" I've given him a chance, but if he doesn't seize it, he won't blame others! Come on, search all the rooms for me again, I don't believe it, I can let this villain get away with it! ”

At the sound of the order, none of the guys dared to delay, and they hurriedly searched the houses in the front row and carefully inspected them one by one.

Changyong has been sandwiched between everyone, and there is no wave on his face, but his hands are tightly clenched into fists that are not easy to see.

Although they have been checked once, the box was found last time, so no one dared to be careless, and even carefully inspected every corner.

"What, is this all done?" Qingwan looked at everyone.

"Please make it clear." The guys didn't know why, they looked at each other, and one of them boldly stood up and asked.

"If you want to check, you have to let go of every place," Qingwan pointed to the top of the room: "Only look for the bottom, can't you hide things on it?" The secret recipe is just a few pieces of paper, where can I not put it? ”

"Yes, yes," said the men, and some people went up to search, but found nothing.

Lu Xiufang had a cold face: "If there is any omission, see what I do with you!" ”

There was no trace of any signs in the first few houses, and the room where Changyong lived was in the middle row, and when it was his turn there, his face turned pale.

"Owner! There's a box on this beam! ”

Sure enough, a guy found something and shouted.

Chang Yong lowered his head, his fists clenched tighter and tighter, but he couldn't help but tremble.

"What box?"

The guy hurriedly climbed down and presented the things, Qingwan opened it and saw that there were a few pieces of paper neatly placed inside, which were those secret recipes!

Seeing this, everyone present was shocked, and Changyong had already knelt down with a thud: "Two proprietors Mingjian!" The small ones were wronged, and this is clearly a blame for it! ”

"Planting?" Qingwan sneered: "The secret recipe was found on the beams in your house, do you have anything else to say?" Who planted it for you, and how did it get dirty? ”

Chang Yong was speechless, and said for a while: "Since you have the intention to blame the trouble, you must have the means, although the little one doesn't know who he is, but he can swear to the sky, this thing is by no means a small thing!" ”

"Really?" Qingwan looked at him: "You swear by it, but the evidence is conclusive, how can I believe what you say?" ”

Changyong gritted his teeth: "Two owners! The little one knew, this must be Cheng Yong's grudge, so he came up with this poisonous plan! ”

"What do you say? Cheng Yong has been imprisoned, how can he come out and frame you again? Qingwan knew the truth of the matter, so he couldn't help but be shocked to hear that Changyong not only didn't admit it, but could still say such a thing.

"Not bad!" Changyong simply insisted: "In order to get himself out as soon as possible, Cheng Yong transferred the secret recipe to Xiao's place, not a small casual talk, he used to have a lot of dealings with people in the rivers and lakes, so even if he was imprisoned, there may not be no one to help him." ”

"People in the rivers and lakes? How do you know? Qingwan stared at him closely, and the gaze that pierced people's hearts made Changyong can't help but lower his head.

"Originally, this kind of thing, the little ones didn't dare to say it easily. But it is true that he has seen with his own eyes, and that men of great skill have come to him, and it seems very good. ”

"There must be evidence for everything," Qingwan said, "What evidence can be obtained for what you say?" ”

"If the proprietor doesn't believe it, you can go to the plum tree in the courtyard to check, and the little one has seen Cheng Yong bury something under the tree."

"Oh? Then why didn't you go back and forth at that time? ”

"The little one just saw that something was buried, and he didn't know what the bottom was, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense. The owner forgives the sin and does not report it, which is a small mistake! ”

"Okay," Qingwan sneered: "The matter must be thoroughly investigated, then we will go down to the plum tree to have a look." ”

Everyone came to the courtyard, and Qingwan ordered a few men to dig and search, but after a while, they found a wooden box!

"That's a lot of money!" Qingwan opened the box, and everyone craned their necks, wondering what was inside.

There was only a note, and Qing Juan sent it to Changyong: "It is clearly written on it, if you steal the secret recipe, you will be given a thousand taels of silver!" Is that the evidence you are talking about? ”

"It's true!" Chang Yong breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a loud voice: "It's this box!" The little ones see it with their own eyes! The owner, this is clearly Cheng Yong bought off the masters of the rivers and lakes, trying to steal the secret recipe, selling the owner for glory, and blaming the small one for this matter! ”

"However, although the details of the transaction are written on it, there is no signature."

"Cheng Yong has always been scheming, and he was afraid of being caught, so he didn't dare to leave his name."

"Since he wants to sell the secret recipe, why didn't he send it out immediately and put it on the beam of his room?"

Chang Yong was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The little one is unknown, but these things are definitely done by Cheng Yong!" Please be aware of it! ”

"Come on, bring Cheng Yong out for me!" Qingwan commanded.

Suddenly, the guys escorted Cheng Yong here, although he was imprisoned for many days, Cheng Yong was still neat and tidy, and his expression was calm.

"Meet the two owners!" Cheng Yong knelt down and saluted.

"Do you recognize this?" Qingwan handed the note to him.

Cheng Yong took a closer look: "Back to the owner, the little one doesn't know what this is." ”

"You are dying, and you dare to say it!" Chang Yong shouted loudly: "This note is clearly hidden under the plum tree, but now you don't admit it!" ”

Qingwan glanced at Changyong coldly, so frightened that he didn't dare to shout anymore.

"The owner, the little one doesn't know anything about this," Cheng Yong kowtowed: "What is buried under the plum tree?" The handwriting on this note is not written by a small one! ”

"Cheng Yong! Let's go into the shop together, like brothers, can you bear to frame me like this? The expression on Changyong's face was very painful: "You just tell the truth, why bother?" ”

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Yong stared at him like a torch: "You think I can't see it?" It's clearly your handwriting on it! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, and their eyes were all on Changyong's body.

"Our characters are all practiced after entering the shop, and they look almost the same, but you even beat me upside down, and you still refuse to let me go!" Changyong vigorously pleaded.

"Two ladies! This is a thing that the slave and maid have gotten, please look at it with the two ladies! Gardenia got a clear look, and immediately walked out of the crowd and handed over a note.

When Chang Yong saw it, his face suddenly turned like ashes, and he glanced at Gardenia with complicated eyes, which struggled with despair and hatred.

"Okay, there's another IOU," Qingwan sneered slightly: "It's quite complete." Changyong, is your name written on it? ”

Changyong didn't look at it at all, just lowered his head and didn't say a word.

"I really can't see it on weekdays, Changyong is highly used by the owner, and he even colludes with outsiders!"

"Hmph, isn't it all for a money? I don't know how much money I have to charge for selling it to others! ”

"If you are willing to pay a lot of money for a thousand taels to steal the secret recipe, can you sell it for less?"

The guys couldn't help but whisper.

"Changyoung! Who the hell are you going to sell the secret recipe to? Lu Xiufang said sharply.

Chang Young remained silent.

"Okay," Lu Xiufang sneered angrily even though she knew the details: "You have learned to be righteous, right?" It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, I won't admit it! Someone came, sent him to the yamen, and said that it was Zhu Fufa's words, and this kind of villain who betrayed his master should be killed according to the law! ”

"The owner spares his life!" Changyong became frightened, struggled as hard as he could, and shouted: "Say everything to the little one, please spare the little one by the two owners!" ”

Qingwan made a look, and the guys let him go, and Changyong knelt down and said busily: "If the little one says it, the two owners may spare the little one's life." ”

"Then it's up to you." Qingwan said coldly.

"This secret recipe is that the owner of the flower cosmetics shop wants to buy it, and I whispered to the little one several times, and the little one was dizzy for a while, so I agreed, please spare the two owners!"

"How much silver did he promise you to destroy your conscience like this?"

"Three thousand taels." Changyong hurriedly defended: "But the boss didn't believe his words, and he didn't give the little one now!" ”
