Chapter 12: Trouble

She walked into the side hall, only to see two plainclothes inside, a clerk holding a pen to make records, and a black-faced judge sitting in front of the hall, it should be a person in the palace, Mrs. Xu looked at her with fierce eyes, and Master Xu was sitting on the other side drinking tea.

I want to know that during the Spring Festival, even the government is on holiday, leaving only a few people on duty, Xu He's family was stolen so much gold, silver and jewelry, if others know, others will only question how a county order can have so much property, so no matter who stole it, he is doing things in the name of the public, so he naturally has to hide it, especially at this lively moment, everyone is fine, idle and panicked, and the rumors spread the fastest.

Mrs. Xu had a warning in her eyes and spoke: "This is the child of an old friend of my lord, named Tan Ran." ”

The judge nodded and asked, "Miss Tan, did you see anything wrong in the mansion last night?" ”

Tan Ran shook his head: "I rarely go out in the house, and all I am familiar with in my daily life is a few maids and wives in the yard, and I don't know anyone else." ”

Mrs. Xu interjected: "As for the maids beside you, they shouldn't have left your side without my orders." ”

"I'm not a serious lady, the maids can run wherever they want, just ask them about their whereabouts, why bother to ask me."

"Aren't you scared?"

Tan Ran laughed: "Madame is doubting me?" ”

"Who else in the entire mansion but you?" Mrs. Xu is now eager to put this charge on Tan Ran's head, so she doesn't care whether she did it or not.

Tan Ran clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Madame is so capable, she doesn't need evidence, just by looking at it, she knows who the thief is, and she is powerful." ”

Mrs. Xu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Master Xu's heavy cough: "Women's family, what do you know?" Then he said to the two, "Go ahead with the trial." ”

The approval asked again: "Then you should carefully talk about all the people you met yesterday." ”

Tan Ran frowned and thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Yesterday I was in the courtyard during the day, and the maids who served on weekdays came and went in the courtyard, and I didn't go to the middle hall to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner until the evening, after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I was ready to go back to the yard to sleep, but the road was not very familiar at night, I didn't expect to go around to the lotus pavilion, my feet slipped, I fell, I waited there for more than two hours and no one passed, so I had to slowly return to the yard by myself, when I returned to the yard, the maids and mothers-in-law were outside to watch the fireworks, I got some water to wash and sleep, Maybe everyone got together and had a good time, and they didn't meet anyone. ”

Tan Ran was knocked unconscious and fell in the pavilion for more than two hours, and she wasn't sure if anyone had come to her yard in the middle, and found that she was not there, so she could only tell the truth and tell the truth and tell the story of last night.

The approval stared at Tan Ran and asked, "How is the young lady's injury?" ”

Tan Ran hurriedly said: "It's just that I twisted my muscles, go back and apply a hot towel, it's already much better." ”

The approval was silent, and then stared at Tan Ran sternly, and said sharply: "Do you know what was lost in the mansion last night?" ”

Tan Ranxin said that you are also a trick to scare children, so she will not be fooled, but she made a panicked look on her face, and said squeezed: "I heard, I heard that Uncle Xu lost a few extremely important official letters. ”

The trial continued to say sharply: "This official letter is tied to several lives, do you think about it again, did you see anything wrong last night?" ”

Tan Ran made a look of trying to think, and then wondered: "I really haven't seen it." ”

Master Xu said impatiently: "Okay, okay, go out, what can she know as a girl." ”

Tan Ran hurriedly left, and Xu He's words continued to come later.

"Waste, waste, all a bunch of waste! I can't find anything, what is the master raising you for! Hurry up and find me, if you dare to come to my house to steal something, this official will definitely cut them to pieces! ”

"Phew, it's all that little slut, there was no such thing in our family in previous years." Mrs. Xu pinched her handkerchief, and saw that Tan Ran was angry in her heart just now: "Master, if we find a name, take down that girl, and go directly to prison, she will wander around all day long." ”

Xu He was impatient: "Make trouble, tell you to get rid of people as soon as possible, you haven't finished dealing with it for a year, and you still come to make trouble with me." After a pause, he said angrily: "She is a girl, and she took the opportunity to put her in prison, is it to make the whole county see my jokes?" If I want others to say that I can't know people clearly, the father of the family who set for my children is corrupt, and my daughter steals, will I still have face in the future? ”

Mrs. Xu held the handkerchief and cried: "What should I do then?" ”

Xu He was annoyed when he saw the woman crying: "Didn't you say that you would dissolve the marriage contract when her uncle came over, you can give me some peace during this time, and wait well." ”

Mrs. Xu promised to obey, and the clerk and the trial were invisible when the couple quarreled, and the two did not quarrel at this time, so they glanced at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
