Chapter 69: Thieves are Hard to Prevent
Ten days to go.
Since Su Yi came back from writing a letter, Liang Yue has started the mode of living with her fingers broken.
When the countdown reached the penultimate day, a very unpleasant thing happened in the house.
The reason is still unknown, because the two people who were caught by Zhao's mother refused to speak first, even if they were tied together by ropes, they turned their heads away, and they all looked like they would rather die than give in.
Liang Yue was accompanied by Qinglian in the garden to bask in the sun, her whole body was warm and comfortable, and when she was drowsy, she couldn't help but hear the noisy movements, so she frowned and opened her eyes, so she saw Zhao's mother and the two little maids who were caught, as well as the maids who were curious to poke their heads to see the lively little maids. However, after being glared at by Zhao's mother, the subordinates who originally wanted to come up quickly dispersed, what should they do.
Mother Zhao was obviously very angry, and took a few breaths before saying to Liang Yue: "Young lady, these two bastards sneaked into the young master's study, and the old slave happened to pass by, and when he heard the movement inside, he called the guards to come, and caught them at once, and they had already searched their bodies, and they stole the young master's seal." ”
"Oh?" Liang Yue sat up straight, looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice, "There are guards outside the study, how did you two get in?" Whose orders were you given? Who instructed it? ”
Two little guys, one of them was a little older, but he was born with an honest and responsible appearance, Liang Yue had some impression of him, so she pointed at him and said, "Your name is Wang Zhong?" Then you can talk about it. ”
Wang Zhong was named, his whole body trembled suddenly, and he subconsciously wanted to look at the other little guy next to him, but Zhao's mother snorted coldly: "It's such a good name for nothing!" The young lady told you to say that, and you said yes! See what he does?! ”
Liang Yue added faintly: "The seal in the mansion is not so fun, if you don't tell the truth in front of me, then you have to send it to the mansion, I believe that after a stick is served, there will always be a time to tell the truth." ”
Qinglian also interjected: "It's not just a stick to serve, the subordinate stole the master's things, even if it is a thread, it is enough to beat the body to death with a stick and chop up the corpse and feed it to the dog!" ”
Qinglian's voice was crisp, but she said these words with a straight face, if she didn't say anything else, this momentum alone was enough to bluff people.
Wang Zhong only felt that he was covered in a cold sweat, and the sun in the sky was obviously not big, but he felt dizzy in front of him, and he could hardly support it to pass out.
"As long as you tell the truth, maybe I can still spare your life, and it's not impossible to let you leave the house safely." Liang Yue knew that the scare was almost over, so she lightly threw out a temptation that was not big for Wang Zhong.
"Whew!" Who knew that Wang Zhonggang raised his head in surprise, but was preempted by his accomplices. "You are all big worms that eat people and don't spit out bones! Wang Zhong, you are a fool, can you believe their words? Be careful that you just tell the truth, and they will kill you when they turn around! ”
Wang Zhong's face turned pale in an instant, and he lowered his head and closed his mouth again.
"What's his name? Which yard? Liang Yue turned her head and asked Zhao's mother.
Mother Zhao thought for a while and replied: "Young lady, this person's name is Desheng, who was originally serving in the old man's courtyard, but recently he was staying by the housekeeper's side. ”
"Go and ask the butler to come over." Now Liangyue has to think about it a little more, what can the two little guys understand? Dare to go to the study to steal things, if it weren't for someone to cover for them, the study is guarded by a nursing home, and the two of them can't get in with a hundred guts.
Mother Zhao was so shrewd, she immediately understood what Liang Yue meant, called the two nurses, and went to the front yard to arrest people in person.
After a while, a cry of injustice came with messy footsteps, and Zhao's mother had already tied people up.
A burden, which looked heavy, was also thrown to the ground.
Liang Yue raised her eyebrows, her gaze swept over the faces of the two little guys, and finally landed on the butler's body. "Seeing that the matter is revealed, he wants to leave his accomplices and run for his life?"
The housekeeper's face turned pale, and he didn't know if he was frightened or really wronged, so he immediately shouted: "Wronged, young lady!" I was wronged! This Mother Zhao was indiscriminate, and when she came up, she tied up the old slave, and told the old slave to tell the truth, the old slave didn't know anything! ”
Mother Zhao angrily reprimanded: "There are all human and material evidence, you dare to say that you are wronged!" ”
"The old slave is wronged, young lady, before the old man went to the countryside Zhuangzi, he specially instructed the old slave to take care of the house, the old slave has been in the house for more than 20 years, and there is no merit and hard work! How can you listen to the words of the villain and wronged the good guy! Young lady! ”
The housekeeper cried out with his neck in his hand, and his old face was full of tears, looking extremely miserable.
Liang Yue said: "Then tell me, whose burden is this?" It's a silver ticket inside, isn't it? You say you have been wronged and you don't know anything, so why should you run away with your baggage? ”
Qinglian stepped forward and opened the baggage, okay, a pile of thick silver tickets, a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry that looked valuable, and a few bags of broken silver.
The butler immediately said, "It's not mine!" This is, this is ...... It's for the two of them! Yes, young lady, these are the two of them who have put me here! It has nothing to do with the old slave! And he wailed and cried out for injustice.
"Oh? So, what happened today has nothing to do with you? Nothing to do with it? ”
The housekeeper nodded again and again: "Yes, yes!" Young lady, you know everything, the old slave is wronged! Even if there's anything wrong, it's the fault of both of them! It's not about the old slave! Young lady, if you want to fight or kill, just find the two of them! ”
Liang Yue suddenly smiled and said to Mother Zhao: "Okay, Mother Zhao, plug his mouth for me, it's annoying to hear it." ”
Mother Zhao got the order, and directly shook the fabric in the bag that she didn't know what it was, and stuffed it into the housekeeper's mouth.
Regardless of his struggles and whimpering, Liang Yue looked at Wang Zhong and Desheng again, and said coldly: "See, the loyalty of the two of you is like this, in exchange for this, once the East Window incident happens, you are the one who bears the blame, and you are the one who died, and he has nothing to do at all, what do you say you are still holding onto?" Wait for him to bite you back, and then die for him? ”
Wang Zhong's face was entangled, and Desheng glared at the housekeeper who was shut down with a resentful expression.
Seeing that they still didn't speak, Liang Yue lost her patience, and said to Zhao's mother: "Since they don't want to say it, then report to the official and send it to the government office, and say hello by the way, those punishments are all over again, and if you survive, you have to tell the truth, and if you die, you will throw them into the river to feed the fish." ”
As soon as he heard this, Wang Zhong couldn't hold it anymore, and suddenly shouted: "Slow! ”
"It's late, I'm not in the mood to listen. Mother Zhao, send people to the government office. Liang Yue sneered in her heart, at this time, she still refused to say it directly, and still wanted to negotiate conditions with her?! It's a dream.
Sure enough, what Liang Yue thought was good, although Wang Zhong opened his mouth, he still wanted to talk about a life-saving condition, but Liang Yue actually said that he didn't want to hear it, and directly asked him to send it to the government. It's worth it! Once inside, does he still have the life to come out alive?!
"Young lady, young lady and slow, young lady is angry! The little one says! Say anything! I don't want to go to jail! Under the fear, Wang Zhong has no confidence, don't talk about any conditions, he just wants the young lady to listen to him finish speaking, maybe he behaves well, and the young lady will be magnanimous and spare his life?
Seeing Wang Zhong's cowardice like this, Desheng showed a trace of disdain in his eyes, but he didn't scold again, but glanced at the housekeeper and said hatefully: "I also said, what do you want to know, I'll say everything." ”
Liang Yue seemed to laugh, and said deliberately: "Then let's say it, if there is a lie, I will have someone pull out your tongue, how about it?" ”
Wang Zhong and Desheng both shook their bodies and looked at Liang Yue in disbelief. They only knew that the young lady Liangyue was the righteous daughter of the Xue family, and she was just a woman's family, but they didn't want to see that this young lady was not a soft persimmon to be manipulated, but they were the ones who were bold and confused for a while......
So far, where do the two of them dare to have other thoughts, and they rushed to say it, everything they knew, they didn't dare to omit a word or fake, and they talked for a long time before they could confess everything one by one.
And Qinglian had already prepared her pen and ink, and she was recording it quickly.
Until everything was finished, Wang Zhong and Desheng were relieved at the same time, the days of being coerced were not easy, and now that they were exposed, they actually felt relaxed. looked at the housekeeper on the side again, where was the arrogant appearance of the previous grievance, and his face was already decadent.
"Qinglian, have you written it down?" Liang Yue said that she was very satisfied, took the several pieces of paper handed over by Qinglian, and looked at them one by one.
Qinglian was holding a brush in her hand, and it didn't prevent her from getting angry, but she stepped forward and kicked the housekeeper fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Eat dog things inside and outside!" ”
"Alright, keep it up." Liang Yue carefully folded the paper and gave it to Qinglian again. Then he said, "Put the two of them in the firewood room and watch them carefully, and as for the housekeeper, put them in the basement dark room." ”
Su Yi is coming back soon, and this matter is very involved, so let's wait for him to come back and deal with it.
As soon as Liang Yue spoke, the three of them were immediately escorted down.
Mother Zhao couldn't help but be a little worried: "Young lady, the old slave always feels unsteady in her heart, there is a hidden guard in the courtyard and this kind of thing can happen, the old slave is worried about ......"
"This is someone eyeing our Su family, they are secretly in the dark, no matter how worried they are about prevention, there will always be a time when they will be exploited." Liang Yue interrupted her words, suddenly laughed, and said in a cold voice, "Order, block the news of today's matter, and don't spread a word." Mother Zhao, if you go to the courtyards and beat again, I don't believe that those small fish and shrimp can calm down! ”
Mother Zhao's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded in response, seeing that Liang Yue had a decision in her heart, she was also a little relieved, and looked forward to the young master's coming back soon.
"Let's go back to our room, it's getting dark." Liang Yue sighed slightly, pressed down the worries in her heart, and only made a light appearance.
She is well aware of the responsibility on her shoulders now: she is calm, and the people below will be at ease. Su Yi is not here, she is the backbone of the Su family.
