Chapter 29: The Home Was Stolen
When Chao Lu's words fell, a person appeared behind Liu Ping, and Chao Lu stared at her straight and asked her for an explanation.
Who knows, Liu Xiuhe pretended to be innocent and asked, "Auntie, did something happen?" ”
"Hmph, she lost something in her own house, and came to our house to ask for it, and she really put something in our house!" Liu Ping clasped her hands to her chest, and her eyes were white when she spoke.
"What did you lose and come to our house?" Liu Xiuhe glared at Chaolu.
"Who knows she's such a troublemaker." Liu Ping was still not angry and turned Chaolu away.
Chao Lu didn't bother to pay attention to her, looked at Liu Xiuhe, and said the reason flatly, "The two pieces of cloth I bought today are missing, but you have been with me all the way today, only you know." ”
"So you suspect I stole it?" Liu Xiuhe's eyes widened, if it weren't for her aunt who asked her to follow the two of them, she wouldn't have bothered to spend all this time.
"I said, no one except you knows that I bought the cloth, I'm just analyzing, and I'll definitely come in and ask after a while, so if you explain it clearly, maybe it'll be fine." Chaolu looked into her eyes, and a coldness appeared in her eyes.
Liu Xiuhe looked angry, "He dares to come!" I didn't steal, I'm afraid he won't be able to? ”
At this time, the catcher came forward, and one of the catchers stepped forward and showed his knife, and shouted in a rough voice: "We are catching thieves, you better cooperate." ”
As he spoke, the other grabbed the brushes and paper and prepared to take notes.
"We heard that you know that her family bought cloth today, you better be honest, otherwise, my knife is not long-sighted!" As he spoke, he pulled out his dazzling broadsword.
Liu Xiuhe was calm and resolutely yelled back, "I didn't steal, it's useless for you to investigate me!" ”
"Ouch, the mouth is quite powerful, since you don't admit it, don't blame us for being ruthless, let me go in and search!" With a wave of his hand, the two remaining two went in and flipped around.
Chaolu watched all this coldly. It really doesn't look like she's stolen like this, but who else can you suspect besides her? Forget it, there is a way to catch fast, so let her family give it a try.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to go in, and he quickly turned out two pieces of cloth under Liu Xiuhe's bed.
"Didn't you say you didn't steal! What is this? It's really anyone, and I can't admit it. As he spoke, he shook his head and came to Chaolu with the cloth in his arms.
"Is this the cloth you said?" Looking at Chaolu, he looked at her from top to bottom, with a somewhat incredulous tone.
Chao Lu looked at him calmly, "It's my cloth, you can go and ask the shopkeeper of the cloth village at the east end of West Street in the town, the cloth I bought this afternoon." ”
Seeing that she was so confident, she also believed it, and glanced at the cloth, "You said it was yours, we still have to investigate, as for her, take it away for me!" ”
Catching fast said and glanced at Liu Xiuhe, and another catcher stepped forward to arrest her.
Liu Xiuhe struggled, using both fists and feet, "I didn't steal!" I didn't do it! Auntie, you can help me talk! I didn't do it! ”
Liu Ping's eyes were a little evasive, and he stepped forward hesitantly, "I said Mr. Guan, did you recognize the wrong person, this kid has been obedient since he was a child, and he won't do these things." ”
You didn't have these explanations, and looked at her coldly, "Who are you?" Don't you see me at work? Something to say in court! ”
Liu Ping saw that there was no way, so she went down the steps according to the fast catch, "Xiuhe, there is no way to catch my aunt here, tomorrow I will be judged, my aunt will go back to see you, you wait for your aunt for a few days, I will go to Lizheng and let her think of a way." ”
Liu Xiuhe was taken away in despair, and naturally looked at Liu Ping with wide eyes in disbelief.
Chaolu saw that Liu Ping didn't move, and glanced at her meaningfully, "The life in this prison is hard enough, but it's better than people's hearts!" With that, she went home and let Liu Qing go to comfort her.
Liu Xiuhe is really stupid, this time she put herself in. Chaolu thought and shook her head coldly.
Liu Ping was a little stunned, she didn't expect Chaolu to make such a big fuss about the two pieces of cloth, it was her own negligence, but she just wronged Liu Xiuhe.
The next day in the court, the boss of the cloth village was found as a witness, this is indeed the fabric of Chaolu, and Liu Xiuhe can't tell how now. The county magistrate slapped the table hard, and said angrily: "Boldly Diao Min, you are such a big burden, you actually did such a thing, come on, give me a hard beating!" ”
It's not a small amount, and by the time the beating is over, his ass will bloom, right? Liu Xiuhe kept begging for mercy, and her voice was very miserable. Although she didn't do anything good to herself during this time, she was not a very bad person in her heart, she might just be blinded by others and didn't see the truth of the matter for a while.
Chaolu thought that she didn't plan to let Liu Xiuhe be punished, after all, the person who stole the cloth was not her, and the person who was punished should be Liu Ping.
"Official, the child is not sensible, and when she sees that she looks good, she wants to play with it, and she has no intention of possessing it, and now that she has returned it, don't punish her." Liu Ping hurriedly spoke, if Liu Xiuhe was really beaten, then how should she explain to her brother?
"If you make a mistake, you will be punished, otherwise how will you let me manage it in the future?" The county magistrate stroked his beard with a righteous and awe-inspiring look.
"Chaolu, you are talking, the thing has been returned to you, do you want to watch him be punished so much?" Liu Ping looked at Chaolu, her voice sharp and vicious.
Chaolu glanced at her angrily, you have to have the ability, you say go, you have the ability to stand up and admit it generously.
"I received it, I don't have the heart to play around with her, as for how could she do this? I'm afraid that the adults know best, and this matter is also subject to a fair trial by the county order. Asaro politely spoke to the prefectural order.
The county magistrate saw that she was well-behaved and liked her, so he nodded in agreement with her, "What you said is very reasonable, if it weren't for the fact that the adults didn't teach her well, the child would definitely not understand this, so the adults would be punished for him." ”
As he spoke, the county magistrate took out a token and threw it to the ground, Liu Ping was pulled down on the bench by the officials on the side, and he was really hit fifty boards before letting go.
By the time it was built, Liu Ping's ass was already bloody. Liu Xiuhe stepped forward to help her, but she was also thrown away, and said a little meanly: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have suffered this kind of sin. ”
Chaolu stepped forward and looked at her with a smile, "What flowers to plant and what fruits to bear, isn't this the sin you found yourself?" ”
With that, Chaolu stared into her eyes, waiting for her to give a result. She didn't believe how long Liu Ping could hide now, the opportunity to sell the poor had been used by her this time, if Liu Xiuhe still believed her, then she would be blind.
Liu Xiuhe also noticed that something was wrong, she looked at Chaolu and then at Liu Ping, waiting for her reaction. Things had come to this point, and she had no reason not to doubt her aunt's intentions.
"Am I guilty of my own sin? If it weren't for other bandits stealing your cloth from my house, I would be where I am today? If I knew which it was, I'd have to clean her up. Liu Ping gritted her teeth and said.
