Chapter 163: It's Too Unfortunate
"Run?"
Qu Tuluo, who had been indifferent and deep, suddenly broke out, shook off Mr. Tong's intercepting hand, rushed to Zhong Chichi, and said angrily: "What's wrong with the squeeze?" Your Xiao family lost the dowry, why did you go to my house to ask for it? I gave you some stuff last time, and I fed the white-eyed wolf, didn't you? ”
Gesture to the courtyard full of dowries.
"For Xiao Sanlang's sake, I found the dowry for you, and I sent it to the door, I didn't even ask for thanks, and I was counted as a thief, what's wrong with you? If I don't do it, it's my cultivation progress! ”
Qu suddenly rushed with anger, rushing very close to Zhong Chichi, and a pair of fire-breathing phoenix eyes were a stone's throw away.
Zhong Chi admired it for a moment, then stretched out his index finger and poked it in her chest.
Qu Tuluo jumped back in fright, and glared at her with a flushed face.
Zhong Chichi smiled and said, "You didn't do it, isn't it because you can't beat me?" ”
Qu Tuluo began to roll up his sleeves.
Mr. Tong hurriedly grabbed her, and called "lord" in a low and bitter voice, and then she took a deep breath again, and turned her face away fiercely, indifferent, proud, and disdainful.
Zhong Chichi smiled and said, "How did you meet someone else transporting stolen goods so coincidentally?" Did you recognize it so coincidentally? ”
Mr. Tong glanced at Qu Tuluo vigilantly, and saw that she couldn't hold back and didn't have a seizure, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Zhong Chichi: "I'm ashamed to say that I originally did this kind of business, so I have some understanding of the bandits' deeds. ”
Zhong did not question again.
As far as she knew, the bandits did not enter the city after sending the dowry to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, so of course Qu Tuluo and his party who entered the city were not robbers.
As for Qu Tuluo's various doubts, she didn't bother to ask.
I just thought about it, and said with a smile: "When you went to that Zhuangzi last night, you didn't meet anyone from Jingzhao Mansion?" ”
Mr. Tong was stunned for a moment, speechless for a while.
Zhong Chichi smiled and said to Xiao Song: "Xiao Zuocheng sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion to say something!" Let's just say that the dowry has been recovered by the county uncle of Jinyuan, so they don't have to be busy! ”
Judging from this situation, it should be Qu Tuluo who took someone to copy the Zhuangzi one step earlier, causing the people of Jingzhao Mansion to pounce.
After Xiao Song pointed to the servant, he took Xiao Huaibi and Mr. Tong to say a few polite words.
“…… The hour of the Governor is near, and my lord will not disturb him. Mr. Tong politely offered his farewell.
Xiao's uncle and nephew accompanied Qu Tuluo and Mr. Tong to walk out.
When he walked through the courtyard, Qu Tuluo suddenly stopped, his eyes swept over a steward holding an account book in the court, and sneered: "Why don't I wait a little longer, and wait for you to get the account books in order before leaving?" If you don't have to save it, you have to slander me for stealing it! ”
The dowry in the courtyard had been counted for a while, and when they came out, the steward was holding the account book and frowning and looking through it, when he heard Qu Tuluo say this, he was stunned for a moment, and a trace of panic flashed on his face.
Zhong was amused for a long time, and said, "It won't be really less, right?" ”
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the steward.
The steward's face changed, and he looked at Xiao Huaibi hesitantly.
"If you have something to say, say it! Don't be sneaky! Qu Tuluo scolded this, and Mr. Tong behind him was powerless to support his forehead.
As a servant of the Xiao family, he could still hold up the scene, and the steward still asked Xiao Huaibi for instructions with his eyes, until Xiao Huaibi nodded, and then bowed his head and said: "Judging from the accounts, there are indeed two boxes missing......"
"What?" Qu Tuluo was furious, rushed up and grabbed the account book, flipped through it twice, found that he couldn't understand it, threw it back again, turned around and said angrily: "I am kind enough to help you find the dowry, do you still want to be falsely accused?!" ”
"Jinyuan County Bo Duoxin!" Xiao Huaibi said softly, "Xu was disposed of by the bandits, or accidentally fell into the water when he was robbed, how dare Xiao be suspicious of his benefactor." ”
Qu Tuluo was about to argue, but was pulled behind by Mr. Tong and spoke on her behalf: "Xiao Lang is so reasonable, my lord will be relieved, then I won't bother anymore!" ”
After that, he hurriedly pulled Qu Tuluo to say goodbye and leave, and his steps were so anxious that he seemed to be afraid that she would say something difficult to clean up.
After leaving the gate of Xiao's Mansion, he hadn't gone far before Qu Tuluo's indignant voice came back: "He said how dare he, isn't that still doubting me?" ”
"Shut up!" Mr. Tong seems to be unable to bear it anymore, and he can no longer care about the identity of master and servant.
"This Jinyuan County Uncle is quite interesting!" Zhong Chichi smiled as he followed Xiao Huaibi and walked inside.
Xiao Huaibi said "um" and walked into the court, Xiao Song was already asking in front of him: "Which two boxes are missing?" ”
The steward said: "One box is silk, and the other box is the whole volume of "History of the Jin Dynasty"! ”
Xiao Song's face suddenly looked bad, and he wrung his eyebrows and said: "Zibo is okay to say, but the whole volume of "History of the Jin Dynasty" is extremely rare, and I heard that Cui Shiniang had a good collection of books before he specially brought it from Lanling, and I don't have comparable classics here, where can I make up for it at this time?" ”
In contrast, Xiao Huaibi was very calm: "Now that most of the dowry gifts have been recovered, my uncle doesn't have to worry too much, there is still a set of "Analects of the Analects" in Lanling's family, and when the nephew and Cui's confession are tolerated for a few days, send the family to go south as soon as possible to get the ......."
Even if the dowry can be made up, the precious classics are still lost, Xiao Song sighed a few words, seeing that the time is not early, and he has to rush to the yamen to Yingmao, so he can only put it down first.
Xiao Song is so old that he stomps his feet and stamps his wrists when the classics are lost, but Xiao Huaibi is still unmoved.
Zhong Chichi couldn't help but glance at him and asked, "Why aren't you sorry at all?" That set of "History of the Jin Dynasty", even in your Xiao family, can be regarded as an heirloom, right? ”
is not precious enough, and it will not be used to hire Cui's daughter.
Xiao Huaibi said softly: "Since it has been lost, it's a pity that it's useless, it's better to plan early!" ”
Zhong Chi Chi remembered his plan, frowned, and asked, "Why does it take two months to go back to Lanling, Changzhou?" ”
Xiao Huaibi said: "The family's feet are not as good as that of a lady, and it takes about three months to touch. ”
Zhong Chi Chi was a little crazy: "I can't wait for three months!" Is there no other way? Can't Cui's be accommodating? ”
Xiao Huaibi said with a straight face: "This matter is related to the sincerity of my Xiao family's treatment of the Cui family, how can I pray for accommodation?" ”
"Why don't I pray for accommodation for you?" Zhong said slowly.
“……”
Zhong Chichi is just talking, she went to ask for accommodation for the Xiao family, Xiao Huaibi is still shameless?
But it's too much time to go back to Changzhou to get it, the Xiao family has come to Chang'an, why don't you bring precious classics with you?
Wait a minute!
Zhong Chichi's heart suddenly moved, and he raised his head.
Xiao Huaibi had just changed into his official uniform and came out, and the light crimson color of the clothes made his elegant face a little more colorful, and Zhong Chichi couldn't take his eyes off it for a while.
For the sake of the next hire, Li Changwei gave him a few days off, even if something happened, today, Xiao Huaibi should also go to the Hongwen Pavilion to answer the law.
Zhong Chi stared at him for a long time, until he walked in front of him, and then he woke up and asked, "You originally had Emperor Ling's "Chess Fu" this week, if you use it as a dowry, is it just right?" ”
His eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded, "Yes...... It's a pity that it's already been given to Senior Brother Fu......"
Zhong Chi looked at him for a moment and said softly, "Why is it so unfortunate? ”
He nodded, "yes, that's a coincidence......
