Chapter 258: People get stolen goods
When the middle-aged man wanted to continue to ask, another official came over with an object. The middle-aged man took the purse, rubbed his hand twice, and his expression changed. Then he opened the knot of the purse and poured all the spices on the table. Flower petals and spices were scattered, and a red stone the size of a quail egg was interspersed.
It was the purse that Su Mo gave to Xia Zhi when he was leaving, and he just got close to smell the fragrance at that time, and never thought of opening it. It turns out that there is still such a thing hidden inside.
The middle-aged man picked up the red stone and said,
Tao Qianqian covered her mouth beside her and made a disappointed sound.
This is undoubtedly pushing her in the direction of the suspect, Tao Qianqian is not like such a white person, the only possibility is that this person is deliberate,
Xia Zhi didn't expect Tao Qianqian to choose to fall into the well at such a time, and turned her head to look at her. As a result, Tao Qianqian hid behind Mrs. Chen like a small animal that was afraid after being maliciously targeted.
The middle-aged man didn't want to wait any longer, and ordered.
Immediately, two officials stepped forward and tied up the summer solstice flowers.
Xia Solstice shouted and struggled, helplessly weak and weak, but the sturdy official was not able to resist.
Mrs. Chen and Tao Qianqian watched coldly throughout the whole process, and were shocked the moment they saw the stolen goods being searched. What little trust was left was completely depleted.
The middle-aged man said coldly.
Xia Zhi was taken away, and the Chen family didn't say a word for her, as if it had nothing to do with it at all. Is this an impatience to get rid of the relationship, worried about being involved, so it is so ruthless? Or a little more cruel, without the slightest fluctuation in the heart, an attitude that doesn't matter at all. Both possibilities contribute to the worst mood of the summer solstice.
In the hall of Wu's mansion, Xia Zhi was taken to the front of the hall by the official messenger and forced to kneel on the ground. Next to Luo Li, who was kneeling and crying in the morning, the old man Wu was seated, picked up the teacup and slowly blew it down and took a sip, and then gently put it back on the table.
Which one is this singing? Luo Li was also angry because of the so-called theft of the treasure?
Luo Li didn't look at Xia Zhi, but said with a crying voice,
Luo Li's tears slipped down like a pearl with a broken thread, but she stubbornly refused to wipe it away, letting it wet her clothes, looking even more pitiful.
Old Man Wu was unmoved and ignored Luo Li, but looked in the direction of the middle-aged man and asked lightly,
The middle-aged man stood up in response, bowed over and put the purse and the red stone on the table next to Old Man Wu, and said respectfully,
Old Man Wu picked up the red stone casually and looked at it twice,
Before the middle-aged man could answer, Luo Li grabbed the words, and choked after speaking, as if there were tears that could not be dried.
Old Man Wu doesn't care. made Xia Zhi suspect that the red stone was not a valuable treasure at all, and it needed such a mobilizing official.
Luo Li is planning to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.
Old man Wu raised his eyebrows,
Luo Li desperately asked for a certain punishment for herself, this is to increase the punishment of the summer solstice.
Old Man Wu frowned.
Xia Zhi understands it, this is obviously Luo Li's self-directed and self-acted frame-up. The red stone appeared in the purse, and it was probably Su Mo who Luo Li wanted to frame. However, what I didn't expect was that the purse arrived in Xia Zhi's hands by mistake, and Su Mo and Liang Xu had already gone away. So Xia Solstice became an unlucky substitute.
Xia Zhi's mouth was strangled by the cloth, and he could only whine and make a protest sound.
The middle-aged man said,
When Old Man Wu is mixed at this age, he is naturally well-informed, and when a middle-aged man says this, it obviously contains other meanings. So he ordered the strip of cloth to be untied, and asked,
Xia Solstice was about to be paralyzed after being strangled for a long time, and he moved his jaw before saying,
Luo Li immediately blocked, this is with the summer solstice,
Xia Zhi opened his mouth and didn't speak. At this time, it is not a good thing to involve Su Mo. Old Man Wu doesn't know how big his sphere of influence is, if Liang Xu and Su Mo are implicated, wouldn't it be Luo Li's way?
Luo Li is aggressive, and the whole thing is the momentum of cockfighting, which completely crushes the summer solstice.
Summer Solstice repeats this phrase.
Luo Li couldn't wait for Xia Zhi's confession, so she mentioned it first. “
