Chapter 6 The witness is out
Mama Luo hesitated a little, always felt that Shi Qingxue had something to say, but she couldn't think of anything wrong, so she just nodded and said conclusively: "Yes!" The old slave saw with his own eyes that the altar of the ancestral hall was burned.
If the old slave has half a false word, let the old slave thunder and die! ”
Such a vicious oath has been spoken, and it is impossible not to be moved, and almost everyone present has to believe Mama Luo's words.
Qingxue looked at the ancestral hall in surprise at this time, "Huh? But the house in the ancestral hall is not on fire at all?! ”
"It can't be!" Don't talk about Mama Luo this time, even Shi Juncai is shocked!
"If grandmother doesn't mind, she'll know when she enters the house." Shi Qingxue didn't argue with them at all, and spoke directly with the facts.
Mo Shujun was worried about the tablet in the house, and when she heard the sound, she strode directly inside, and she didn't even pay attention to the shouts of her youngest son.
It was really not a wise choice to enter the wooden house that had been burned, Dong Hui secretly pulled Shi Qingxue's sleeve and reminded in a low voice: "In case the beams and pillars in the house collapse and your grandmother is injured, the group of people in the third room will not be able to turn the sky upside down?" ”
"It'll be fine, don't worry." Shi Qingxue couldn't speak, so she could only pat Dong Hui's hand lightly, and took the lead in the eyes of those people in the third room.
Everyone followed the house, but the next moment they were shocked by the scene in the house: the lights in the ancestral hall were dim yellow, sandalwood was swirling, and the main seat was enshrined Shi Lei's tablet, and everything was safe and sound.
"How so?" When Mo Shujun saw the scene in the house, she first breathed a sigh of relief, but then looked at Shi Qingxue in surprise.
It's all burned to ruins outside, why is there nothing inside?
Shi Qingxue's expression remained unchanged, but she turned her head and asked Mama Luo: "I'm also curious, how did Mama Luo see the fire in the house with her own eyes?" ”
"It's impossible, I'm obviously calling ......," Mama Luo shouted in surprise, and then shut her mouth suddenly, trying to pretend that she hadn't said anything.
Shi Qingxue then asked, "What are you knowing?" Just now you said that you saw the ancestral hall on fire, and now the ancestral hall is intact, how do you explain it? ”
Mama Luo's old face turned white, but she still bit her mouth: "The old slave really saw that the ancestral hall was on fire, how could it become like this, the old slave really didn't know, if Liuniang didn't believe it, you could find someone else to ask." ”
"Qingxue, you drink and ask like this, don't you want to be beaten into a move?" Shi Juncai suddenly interjected at this time.
Meaningfully asked: "Besides, when a normal person sees that the courtyard of the ancestral hall is on fire, they must think that the inner room is also on fire, but how do you know that the house is not on fire?" I'm afraid that's a bit unusual, isn't it? ”
These words are obviously accusing Shi Qingxue of deliberately framing Mama Luo.
Shi Qingxue didn't panic at all, looked at Mo Shujun's puzzled gaze, and slowly explained the reason for the matter: "Today's grandmother's birthday banquet, Qingxue remembered that grandpa used to get up early in the morning at this time in the past to worship God, in order to ask the gods to bless her grandmother's health." It's just that her mother asked Qingxue to meet guests in advance, and Qingxue had no choice but to let the maidservants Xia Mang and Dongshuang come to incense Qingxue first,"
Mo Shujun obviously also remembered Shi Lei's habit, her expression couldn't help but soften, she no longer doubted, and listened to Qingxue continue.
Xia Mang and Dong Shuang entered the house to offer incense, but saw three people sneakily breaking into the ancestral hall and setting it on fire. They arrested the three of them and tortured them, only to find out that it was Mama De Luo who instructed them to do evil. But by the time Xia Mang reported to me, Mama Luo had already set fire to the courtyard outside, so I asked them to protect the ancestral hall first, and at the same time plan to find out the thief! ”
After speaking, the corners of Shi Qingxue's mouth hooked, and she said to Shi Juncai unhurriedly: "If the third uncle still doesn't believe it, you can personally ask Mama Luo about the three 'human witnesses'." ”
As soon as she raised her hand, Xia Mang Dongshuang, who was originally hiding in the dark, pressed the three of them and walked out.
The three subordinates didn't bother to defend anymore, and knelt in front of Mo Shujun at once, and told them all about how Mama Luo used money to lure them to burn down the ancestral hall and frame Dong Hui.
"Mama Luo, now you dare to say that you didn't wantonly disrupt my grandmother's birthday banquet and slander my mother?!"
Shi Qingxue's words turned sharply, and the spearhead was pointed at Mama Luo, which frightened people to the ground, trembling and begging for mercy: "Liuniang forgives her sins, the old slave is just a subordinate, these are all three ......"
