Chapter 18: The Ring

"What? She's hired? ”

The man was already a little flustered because Fang Jinglin was gagged, and he had just been beaten from behind, and his brain was muddy.

"Of course, but my third aunt is the Qin family after all, so naturally I can't pursue it, as for you, ....."

Jiang Zhi said, stopped leisurely, looked at the man's flustered look, very satisfied, for the prisoner, it is necessary to use psychological tactics, and surrender without a fight.

"Don't, miss... Second lady, it's all my ghost who lost my mind and took the third lady's twenty taels of silver, that's why I did such a thing, second lady, you spare the little one. ”

As the man spoke, he crawled straight to Song Yi on his knees, his body trembling like sifting chaff.

"Don't touch me!"

Song Yi felt the man's hand, and the disgusting scene just now seemed to be in front of her again, she took a few steps back, and shouted in a somewhat sharp voice.

"Don't be busy begging for mercy yet, what evidence do you have to prove that my third aunt instructed you? I can drop you from the light hair. ”

Jiang Zhi dragged the man back and asked.

“.… Yes, the twenty taels of silver are still on me. ”

As soon as the man heard that there was hope, he quickly took out the twenty taels of silver in his arms and handed it to Jiang Zhi.

"The Qin family's silver ingots, what can't be proved, is there anything else?"

Jiang Zhi took it and looked at it, and then shook her head with some disappointment.

"No more,...... I... There really isn't any. ”

The man's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Take it down, give it to your cousin, and send him to the Yamen of the Shoji for torture."

In Jiang Zhi's previous life, she saw a lot of such eyes, dodging everywhere, and didn't dare to look at people, all of which were expressions that only some inferior liars would have.

"Ahh Don't, miss, you spare me, I.......there is one more thing, but if I hand it over, you must let me go. ”

The man hesitated.

"Then I'm going to see if it's worth it first."

Jiang Zhi said, his eyes looked at the man for a moment, which made him full of oppression.

"Yes, it's a ring, I looked at it in excellent condition, so I stole it from the third lady, and I wanted to sell it for a few more money."

As he spoke, the man took out an emerald ring from his arms and handed it to Jiang Zhi with some reluctance.

Jiang Zhi's body stiffened suddenly, this jade ring, whether it was the style or color, was the same as the ring she saw that night.

The emerald green color under the sunlight, and the light refracted made Jiang Zhi almost certain that this was what the man in black was wearing, exactly the same.

"Third aunt, this ring is yours?"

Jiang Zhi pinched the jade-colored ring, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and her voice asked with a hint of urgency.

Fang Jinglin looked at the ring in front of her, lowered her head and stroked her index finger, and suddenly turned blue with anger, a good ring was taken away by this idiot.

But now she can't admit it, as soon as she admits it, it is equivalent to the end of everything, after thinking about it, she shook her head painfully, gritted her teeth and said:

"No, I don't know this ring, he lied, he just wronged me, niece and daughter, you can't trust him, he's a liar."

"Where did you get this ring?"

Jiang Zhi took a deep breath, tried to calm herself, and asked.

"I said, it's not mine, how do I know where he came from, you ask him, besides, is this your attitude towards me, I'm your third aunt."

Fang Jinglin looked at Jiang Zhi's eyes, she didn't know why, she trembled a little from the bottom of her heart, she hurriedly raised her voice to hide the fear in her heart.

Looking at Fang Jinglin's attitude, Jiang Zhi knew that Fang Jinglin was not going to admit it, so she put the ring in her hand, put down the disappointment in her heart, and said:

"Third aunt, I remember that before the eldest aunt left, a certain amount of money was allocated to each room, let's check it now to see who is missing twenty taels."

"No, I don't allow you to check, my money can't be checked."

Hearing this, Fang Jinglin jumped to her feet, if she continued to investigate like this, it would not only be twenty taels of silver, but her private money would not be stripped away at that time.

Hearing Fang Jinglin's words, Qin Ziya, who was standing on the side, stirred the handkerchief vigorously, and it was difficult to hide her disappointment, this third aunt was a fool.

It's just to scare her, and it turned out to be the original form, and there is another point, that is, the third aunt actually went to find the person herself, wouldn't she hand it over to the maid.

'Smack'

As soon as Fang Jinglin's words fell, a crisp voice came.

Covering her face, Fang Jinglin looked at the person in front of her with some shock, she never thought that this person turned out to be Song Yi, how could this be.....

"Third brother and sister, you are too much."

Song Yi heard the conversation between Jiang Zhi and Fang Jinglin, no matter how stupid she was, she knew who did it.

Thinking that she had almost lost her innocence, her face turned pale with anger, she pointed at Fang Jinglin, and said angrily, this is the first time she has beaten someone.

"Song Yi, you're crazy, you dare to hit me,"

Fang Jinglin exploded in an instant, for so many years, in addition to being pressed by Changfang and the old lady, she really hasn't been beaten by anyone, let alone Song Yi.

Song Yi was also angry, she regretted it after beating someone, she shouldn't be so impulsive, hearing Fang Jinglin's words, she said apologetically:

"Third brother and sister, it's my fault to do it, but what you did went too far, I'm so angry."

"Third aunt, do you recognize this person, why did you do this?"

Qin Ziya grabbed Song Yi's arm, looked at Fang Jinglin pitifully, her eyes blinked at the man kneeling on the ground, and her voice said with a choked voice.

Fang Jinglin was going to make a move with Song Yi, but suddenly saw Qin Ziya's hint, rolled her eyes, sat on the ground with her face covered, and suddenly started crying, as if she had been greatly wronged, and said while crying:

"I....what did I do, my second sister-in-law beat me like this for no reason, just this man, I don't even know who my name is, I slander me with red mouth and white teeth, you just do it, is it just bullying us in the third room is a concubine?"

"You mean I wronged you?"

Song Yi looked at Fang Jinglin with surprise in her eyes, she didn't expect that at this time, she would still be so messing around, and at the same time, a trace of doubt rose in her heart.

"Isn't it, apart from this person indiscriminately biting me, what evidence does this person have that I colluded with him to frame you... Second Miss, what kind of grudge can I have against my second sister-in-law and against my second girl, why don't you think about it. ”

Fang Jinglin said as she pretended to wipe her tears, and then said:

"Second sister-in-law, I have been with you for so many years, don't you know who I am, even if I usually have a mean mouth, how can I ever hurt anyone, you have wronged me so plainly, I really... It's better to be dead. ”

After saying this, he stood up, closed his eyes, and rushed towards the red lacquered pillar in the center, but his heart trembled.

Song Yi saw Fang Jinglin struggling and ran into the red lacquered pillar in the house, and suddenly her heart was at a loss, and she stopped the person.

"Third brother and sister, what are you doing here?"
