Chapter 41: The Matter of the Main Hall

Xiao Jiu was taken aback by San'er's slap and then said, "Little me... I... I really didn't steal! Butler, you have to believe in little me! ”

San'er smiled and said, "I didn't say it must be you, I came to you today just to let you restore the experience of you entering this main hall last night." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Pass? Restore? The housekeeper doesn't understand? Xiao Jiu looked down at the ground and said suspiciously.

Zhang Renshan also didn't understand San'er's meaning and opened his mouth to ask: "San'er, what are you going to do?" What kind of restoration? ”

"Oops! Why don't you understand? It's to show us what Xiao Jiu experienced last night, let him play it again, I can deduce something, after all, what Xiao Jiu experienced, you and I don't know, only he knows! San'er explained.

As soon as Zhang Renshan heard that this was the case, he hurriedly said to Xiao Jiu: "That's okay!" Xiao Jiu, hurry up and repeat what you experienced last night! Okay, let's analyze and analyze what the hell is going on with you!? ”

Xiao Jiu had no choice but to nod, and then retreated from the main hall, covering the door of the main hall, San'er said that he began, Xiao Jiu pushed the door and walked in, first looked around, and then his right hand made it look like he was carrying something, sweeping around, San'er saw this and hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" Are you sure the door was like this when you came in last night? ”

"It can't be wrong, I saw that the door was so hidden, I thought someone came in to inspect it," Xiao Jiu said with certainty.

"Okay then! You continue! San'er said again.

Xiao Jiu heard San'er say to continue, so he started to walk around the main hall again for a while, and then was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped, San'er saw this and said, "Everyone else in that room, let's go down first!" There's nothing to do with you here" As soon as the subordinates heard this, they all walked out of the main hall, leaving only Zhang Renshan, Xiao Jiu and San'er inside.

Zhang Renshan saw that San'er was only gone, so he asked, "San'er, who are you?" ”

"There are a lot of people, and you don't know what Xiao Jiu experienced last night, if it is rumored out, then it will be fine!" San'er looked at Zhang Renshan and said.

After hearing this, Zhang Renshan nodded and urged Xiao Jiu to continue the performance, but San'er stopped again, Zhang Renshan turned his head to look at San'er and was about to speak, but San'er said first: "Xiao Jiu, I'm afraid you saw that thing at this time!" That's why you stopped, right? ”

Xiao Jiu didn't speak, nodded, then looked at the top of his head, pointed to the beam of the main hall, and said, "I... I... I just... At... The upside-down hanging that I saw there... Hanging upside down... Grimace scared the hell out of me at the time! ”。

"Then you planned to break down the door and escape, but you found that the main door was suddenly closed, and you panicked and hid in the corner of the main hall, intending to avoid the entanglement of the evil spirit, right?" San'er speculated.

"That's right! Butler, how do you know! At that time, I was really frightened, and I didn't know where to run, so I had to hide in the corner and close my eyes and pray! Xiao Jiu looked at San'er in surprise.

When Zhang Renshan heard this, he felt that these might be Xiao Jiu's blind fabrication, so he coughed to remind San'er, San'er knew Zhang Renshan's intentions after hearing it, and quietly waved his hand to signal Zhang Renshan's peace of mind, he had his own measure, and then looked at Xiao Jiu and said: "Then when you saw that evil ghost last night, you didn't do anything else!" Just scared? ”

Xiao Jiu heard San'er say this, so he nodded helplessly and said, "Actually, last night, little me... I... At that time, I was scared and my legs were weak, and I sat on the ground with a butt, and the little one finally climbed to the corner of the wall and hid, but I didn't expect to be caught by the young master as a thief in the end. ”

San'er looked at Xiao Jiu and then said, "Are you sure you didn't make any noise?" ”

Xiao Jiu didn't speak after hearing this, but muttered something, Zhang Renshan really couldn't hear it clearly, so he said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, otherwise Lao Tzu will send you to the official!" ”

"Don't, don't! Young Master to be honest, I... I... I was indeed startled when I first saw the evil ghost, and then I cried out, and then I sat down on the ground, and then I saw that the door of the main hall was slammed shut for some reason, and the little one was so frightened that he screamed again, and then crawled away on the ground, and the little one was timid and afraid of things since he was a child, and what happened last night was like this...... Ay! Xiao Jiu covered his face and said embarrassedly.

San'er heard Xiao Jiu say this, smiled and said, "It's okay!" It's human nature to be afraid, not to mention that what you encounter is that fantasy thing, and there is nothing that no one is not afraid of, so I understand you, are you sure what you are saying now is true? ”

"Butler, what the little one said is true, there is no half a sentence of falsehood, if it is fake, let the little one thunder five times a day!" Xiao Jiu swore and said.

Zhang Renshan looked at San'er when he heard Xiao Jiu say this, San'er nodded in agreement, and Zhang Renshan said to Xiao Jiu again: "Then there is nothing to explain, if there is nothing, retreat outside first, I have something to talk about with the housekeeper, but you are not allowed to leave!" Maybe I'll have something to ask you in a moment! ”

Xiao Jiu hurriedly said yes when he heard this, then retreated from the main hall and waited outside the door.

When Zhang Renshan saw Xiao Jiu leaving, he turned his head and said to San'er: "Do you say that what Xiao Jiu said is true?" If it really is, is this hall really haunted? ”

San'er shook his head when he heard Zhang Renshan say this, and then said: "Let's not care if it's haunted or not, you come with me first!" I'll show you something! As he spoke, San'er led Zhang Renshan to the place where Xiao Jiu threw away the lamp in his hand last night, and San'er asked Zhang Renshan to take a look at the ground to see what he could find.

But Zhang Renshan's eyes widened and he didn't see anything for a long time, so he had to touch his head and look at San'er and smile, San'er sighed and said, "Yes!" I'll do it anyway! Look! San'er first used his hand to point to a puddle of water that had dried up on the ground of the main hall, and then said: "In Xiao Jiu's description, he said that he saw the grimace as soon as he turned around, and then he was so frightened that his legs fell to the ground, but I guess he still didn't tell the truth!" The reason is ......"

Before San'er finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Renshan: "What? I haven't told the truth yet, it seems that Xiao Jiu must have come to steal something, so what else are you talking about, someone is coming, ......"

"Wait a minute! I'm not done yet! Everything Xiao Jiu said should be true, but he didn't say some of it! Why! In fact, it's just shame! San'er forcibly interrupted Zhang Renshan's words and explained.

"Shame? What's the shame of? Zhang Renshan asked curiously when he heard San'er say this.

San'er smiled and pointed to the puddle of water on the ground and said, "I'm afraid this is what Xiao Jiu was scared by that grimace last night and stayed!" ”

As soon as Zhang Renshan heard that this was the case, he opened his mouth and said, "Hey! I thought why! Isn't it just peeing your pants! What's this! ”

"You said it lightly, if such a big living person is scared to pee his pants, you can tell people casually! Let others listen to it, and you can't laugh out of your big teeth! San'er looked at Zhang Renshan's disdainful expression and explained.

"That's what you say! It's also a shame to be scared to pee your pants! Zhang Renshan nodded.

"So, Xiao Jiu is so stubborn, he just wants to cover up the fact that he is timid, but this can be regarded as helping him!" San'er looked outside the door, and then said to Zhang Renshan.

"Can you help someone even if you're timid? What does San'er mean! Zhang Renshan looked at San'er inexplicably.

"You think! When Xiao Jiu came just now, didn't that person tell you! He was scared to pee, you said that with his guts, he dared to steal things from the house! That's impossible! So I dare to conclude now that Xiao Jiu is not a thief who steals things! San'er explained to Zhang Renshan.

"This ...... All right! It's up to you! How should everything in this main hall be explained? I heard with my own ears that there was a noise here last night! Zhang Renshan said firmly.

"Alright! Let's talk about the movements you heard first, you said that you heard the voices of two people in the back hall first, and then two screams, right? San'er said analytically.

Zhang Renshan nodded and said, "Hmm! That's right! And then there was a tugging motion! ”

"Hmmm! So good! Let's not think about who the two people who spoke, but I'll tell you what the two screams you heard and the sound of dragging things were! After San'er finished speaking, he raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Jiu who was standing outside the door.

Zhang Renshan didn't understand at first, but after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized: "You mean to say that the two screams I heard were all made by Xiao Jiu when he saw that evil ghost?" ”

San'er nodded, and then Zhang Renshan's words said: "Hmm! That's right! As for the sound of dragging things, it was emitted on the ground when Xiao Jiu crawled to the corner of the wall after he was frightened to the ground! ”

Zhang Renshan was a little more strange now, and opened his mouth to ask: "I know the scream, but San'er, why do you think that the dragging sound must have come from Xiao Jiu?" ”

"It's simple, you can see with me!" After San'er finished speaking, he pulled Zhang Renshan to bow his head on the ground and began to inspect, only to see a few slender water traces sticking out from the side of the puddle of water on the ground, all of which were bent to the side.

After Zhang Renshan looked at it, he looked up at San'er and said, "This water trace seems to be ...... Flow in the direction I caught Xiao Jiu last night! ”

"Hmmm! Here's the proof! Didn't Xiao Jiu say it too! He crawled to the corner of the wall on his prostrates! That would naturally make a sound that seemed to be dragging something in the main hall, and this water trace also showed that Xiao Jiu was indeed not lying! That's why I said that the dragging sound you heard last night was made by Xiao Jiu," San'er explained.

"Oh! That's what happened! But how to explain the conversation between the two? Zhang Renshan looked at San'er suspiciously.

"That's hard to say, but one thing I'm sure of is that the conversation you heard last night was probably from a real thief," San'er said, looking up at the beams of the main hall.

"What? A real thief? It seems that we have really recruited thieves in our family! San'er, this is a big deal! We'll have to investigate! Zhang Renshan said nervously.

San'er just didn't seem to hear what Zhang Renshan said, and continued to look up at the beams of the main hall, I don't know what to look at, Zhang Renshan saw that San'er didn't pay attention to him, so he shook San'er's shoulder and said, "Hey! San'er, I'll talk to you! Did you hear me? Let's take the matter of the little nine sons in the past, but there is a thief in this family, we have to think of a way! You can't just watch this thief swagger in and steal something! ”

"Oops! Don't make any noise, I just thought of something, and you let me analyze it carefully! San'er thought with a frown.

Zhang Renshan didn't bother him anymore when he heard San'er say this, and went to the outside of the main hall alone, and whispered to Xiao Jiu's ear: "You kid, were you scared to pee your pants last night as much as this morning?" Don't quibble! There's evidence in the main hall! ”

Xiao Jiu heard Zhang Renshan say this, so he nodded and didn't speak, his face was red with shame, Zhang Renshan couldn't close his mouth when he saw Xiao Jiu's happy performance, and the people around him were very curious when they saw that the young master was stupidly happy, but they didn't dare to ask what the reason was, so they had to stand silently and look at Zhang Renshan, and Xiao Jiu! His face was white and blue for a while, and tears were about to flow out.

San'er heard Zhang Renshan standing outside the main hall laughing and walked out to see what was going on, and looked at Xiao Jiu's face with his eyes, and knew that this must be what Zhang Renshan said to Xiao Jiu, and without saying a word, Zhang Renshan was pulled into the main hall again, and then turned around and called a subordinate standing not far from the entrance of the main hall and told him to bring a bamboo ladder over, and the subordinate said yes and left.

Zhang Renshan saw San'er pull him in again, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Hey! San'er, did you think of something again! Why do you ask someone to bring the bamboo ladder over! Do you suspect that the two thieves escaped from the rooftop? ”

"Isn't it, let's not talk about it first, I'll talk about you first, what did you just do? What's the fun there? San'er looked at Zhang Renshan suspiciously.

"Me! I'm just kidding Xiao Jiu! I just asked him if he peed his pants last night! I didn't expect him to really admit it! So...... Didn't hold back! I just smiled! Don't you think that's a coke! Zhang Renshan said to San'er with a hippie smile.

"You! I'll just say that you have no conscience, and you still don't admit it! What's wrong with Xiao Jiu! You're still laughing at him at this time! You're ...... You let me say what you are good about! San'er counted down Zhang Renshan and said.

"Okay, okay! I'm wrong, I can't do it! I'm going to apologize to that little nine, don't you see it! Zhang Renshan said unconvinced, with a stiff neck.

"Oops! Come on! Things have already been done, and if you say that you are a young master and apologize to your subordinates, you will also lose your identity, so pay attention to it in the future! Don't do that! San'er persuaded.

"Okay! I remembered! Don't mumble! That's right! You haven't answered me yet! What was the use of asking that person to fetch the bamboo ladder just now! Zhang Renshan asked suspiciously.

"Just remember! Oh! Oh that! I'd love to go up to the beam! San'er looked up at the beam above the main hall again......
