After a long time, Xiao Chen was embarrassed to speak: "It is precisely because they have no connection with the silver treasury at all that they are the most suspicious. ”

Xiao Chen seemed to have gained confidence, and said confidently: "I heard what Nian'er said that day, so I went to the silver vault for a turn, admittedly, there is no trace in the silver vault, and it is locked well on weekdays, if someone really steals it, it is definitely his own person, how many people can he call Lao Li, who is in charge of the silver vault, let down his guard?" ”

"You're spewing blood! That's not how my grandfather ......."

Where can the young man's blood and qi Fang Gang stand Xiao Chen's slander for no reason, the younger of the two grooms suddenly burst into a loud shout, and the brother next to him hurriedly blocked his mouth, but this stall has already made Xiao Chen catch the handle, originally her statement was a bit far-fetched, but now it was the two grooms who hit the south wall by themselves.

The two grooms couldn't say that Xiao Chen, but they also knew that Chu Nian was the main thing at the moment, so they hurriedly looked at Chu Nian for help, and saw Chu Nian smile: "Since Madame said so, then bring the old housekeeper and Lao Li up." ”

The groom at the bottom couldn't hide it, the two brothers glanced at each other, and said: "Grandpa is the housekeeper of the Chu family, our brothers have been in the field, and we can't make a lot of money, so grandpa arranged for us to feed the horses, and please don't blame grandpa, our brothers and sons have always treated the horses diligently, and there is absolutely no slackness." ”

The two brothers glared at Xiao Chen fiercely, because of Chu Nian, they didn't have a seizure, but Chu Nian next to him only laughed and didn't answer.

Chu Nian lowered his eyes and looked kind: "Second uncle, don't worry, they didn't make any mistakes, they just shouted up and asked." ”

Old housekeeper

may still be afraid of Xiao Chen's identity as the head of the house, but Lao Li has never given himself a good face to people who can't see it, even Chu Hezhou didn't have a good face from Lao Li back then, at this stall, I saw Lao Li snort coldly, blew his beard and glared: "I'm afraid that someone has found something to do and pushed it on others." ”

As soon as these words came out, no one in the room dared to move, most of them whispered to Xiao Chen, the old housekeeper and Lao Li are both old, at first glance they look a little younger than the old lady, but they are not much younger, the beard and hair are gray, and the thirty big boards go down, wouldn't it be a call for the two old men to return to the west in advance?

The old lady can be regarded as pouring a basin of cold water on Xiao Chen's family, originally Xiao Chen's family also saw that Chu Nian had been following his own wishes, and besides, he was also in a hurry to convict these people, and the thousand taels had nothing to do with her, but now she didn't expect the old lady to interject, which made Xiao Chen not know what to say.

Taking Xiao Chen's reaction into his eyes, Chu Nian smiled slightly, and hurriedly comforted the old lady and said, "Grandma, don't be angry, she is angry, won't she worry her granddaughter and grandson?" ”

At this point, Xiao Chen's mouth was blocked, and no one disturbed Chu Nian's trial, Chu Nian looked at the old housekeeper and Lao Li at the bottom: "Don't be afraid, since the two of you have worked hard for the Chu family all your life, I naturally won't do anything about the two, but there is indeed a thousand taels of silver lost in the warehouse, and Uncle Li has also heard about this, I don't know if there are any clues in the hearts of the two?" ”

"Isn't it that you secretly embezzled the money in the treasury, how can you keep accounts?"

Lao Li lowered his head: "This time it is indeed the old man's dereliction of duty, and the old man pleaded guilty, but."

What the hell is going on with these two children? ”

In the eyes of others, things seem to have come to a stalemate, although Lao Li has a strange personality, since he started to take care of the accounts, the Chu family's silver treasury has not made any mistakes, this is the first time to make a mistake, but if Lao Li really stole this thousand taels of silver, he would not have the face to stay here.

Chu Nian naturally won't let down the people who are pinning their hopes on him right now, but now is not the time.

After a while, Xiao Chun sneaked in from outside the door, but fortunately, everyone was talking, but no one noticed her, she shook in front of Xiao Chen, and then diligently served tea and water, and when she refilled Chu Nian's cup, a rattle accidentally fell from her waist.

"What is this?"

With that, she took the rattle, put it on the side of her face and shook it, and the rattle suddenly made a crisp sound. With a harmless smile on his face, he carefully put away the rattle, and then retreated to Xiao Chen's side, standing quietly, and no longer moved.

Chu Nianshui's eyes narrowed slightly, and immediately fell on Xiaochun, his eyes thoughtful.

Immediately afterwards, I only heard a "poof", and saw Lao Li kneeling on the ground, his head buried very low, as if he didn't want people to see the trace of submission in his eyes.

The moment Lao Li knelt down, a look of pride suddenly appeared on Xiao Chen's face, she glanced at Xiao Chun with side eyes and appreciation, then looked up at Chu Nian and said, "Since Lao Li has already confessed, just drag him and their accomplices down and beat them to the eighty boards, no, beat them until they die." ”
