Chapter 417: Lost the Jade Pendant
Chapter 417: Lost the Jade Pendant
After the people gathered together, they were a little confused, before the owner of Zhao Zhuang did not tell them what would happen, today I suddenly saw so many people to the villa and thought that they were the guests of the owner of Zhao Village, but I didn't expect to have something to do with them.
"Owner, please pick out the people who usually serve you closely."
Shen Bing originally wanted to hand over the initiative of the whole matter to Chu Ruoyao, but after hinting a few times with his eyes, Chu Ruoyan didn't pay attention to her at all, and had no choice but to speak by himself.
After listening to Shen Bing's words, Zhao Zhuang hurriedly ordered four people to come out.
"These four people are the ones who usually serve me closely."
"Master, what the hell is going on?" These people who were pointed out were very puzzled, and couldn't help but ask Master Zhao.
After looking at Chu Ruoyan and Shen Bing a few times, Lord Zhao nodded when he saw them, and then decided to tell the people about the matter.
"The owner of this village wants to say one thing today, who of you has been in my house these days? Did you ever see a jade pendant when you entered the house? ”
Hearing Zhao Zhuang mention the jade pendant, the people noticed that the jade pendant that Zhao Zhuang had been wearing was gone.
"No, I didn't."
Everyone shook their heads, but they all had their own guesses in their hearts.
"The jade pendant I usually carry with me is lost, and no outsiders have entered or left the villa during this time, so this jade pendant must not be able to escape here." Zhao Zhuang said categorically.
Although he has searched all over the villa in the past few days, he is actually looking for it secretly, and he has not gone to many details in order to avoid startling the snake.
After hearing that Lord Zhao's favorite piece of jade pendant was lost, everyone present gasped, you look at me, I look at you, listening to Lord Zhao's tone, this thief who stole the jade pendant may be among them.
"Therefore, today I specially invited King Yan and Miss Shen of Dali Temple to find out the owner's favorite jade pendant."
After telling what had happened, Lord Zhao took a few steps back and came to Shen Bing's side.
"Miss Shen, everything you want to say next has been said, if you want to ask anything, just ask!"
Shen Bing looked at the people with some headaches, this villa is very large, so there are also a lot of people, there are more than twenty people present, not to mention the people scattered in other parts of the villa.
If you check them one by one, I don't know when you will find the head. After Shen Bing thought of this, he looked at Chu Ruoyao for help, he hadn't spoken for so long, and at such a point, it was time for him to help himself.
Chu Ruoya was very excited to see Shen Bing look at him like this, and he had been waiting for Shen Bing to ask for help from him.
"You all tell me what you did four days ago. If there is a testimony to each other, let us speak to the king together, and then we can leave. ”
After Chu Ruoya gave a few words to these subordinates, he called a few of his guards to come to him, and soon, with the help of those guards, he eliminated a large part of the people, and finally left five people, and there was no way to explain his whereabouts.
Chu Ruoyan and Shen Bing circled around these five people a few times, all the while looking at their expressions, these five people looked very nervous, even if they didn't take the jade pendant, they might have done something else.
"Tell me what you were doing that day?" Chu Ruoyao pointed to the first servant and said.
After hearing the question, the man in gray raised his head very nervously: "Villain...... The villain loosened the soil in the garden that day. ”
"The villa is so big, and the garden must not be small, why are you the only one who loosens the soil and doesn't see the shadow of anyone else at all?"
Chu Ruoya obviously didn't believe what this servant said, and asked him again and again, and the gray-clothed man soon began to sweat on his forehead, and his hands kept clutching the corners of his clothes.
After Shen Bing glanced at him a few times, he noticed a strange phenomenon, when Chu Ruoyao asked this man, the only maid among the five people was also paying attention to the movement here, even more nervous than the man in gray.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Bing stood in front of the maid coldly, and frightened her into exclaiming.
"Ahh
As soon as the maid shouted, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and when he saw so many people looking at him, he immediately lowered his head.
"I ask you, what the hell are you looking at? Why don't you watch it now? You put your head up. Shen Bing's tone gradually became serious, and the maid hesitated for a long time before slowly raising her head, but she didn't dare to make any contact with Shen Bing's eyes at all.
"You two know each other?" Shen Bing asked, pointing at the man in gray and the maid.
The two shook their heads in unison: "I don't know." ”
"Don't recognize?" Shen Bing sneered, "How can you not know each other when you are working in the same mountain villa?" Or are you hiding something? ”
After listening to Shen Bing's words, Lord Zhao immediately became angry: "Say, is the jade pendant you guys take!" ”
"Back to the owner, we really haven't done anything like this."
After hearing that Zhao Zhuang was suspicious of them, the two immediately knelt down in front of him.
"Then why are you so nervous?" Chu Ruoyan asked.
"Because...... Because ......" The two looked at each other, their lips twitched a few times, and they looked like they didn't dare to speak.
"Because we have made a private decision for life." The man in gray gritted his teeth and took the initiative to kneel forward and climb a few steps, blocking the little maid, "All this is a small fault, I hope the owner will not punish her." ”
After saying this, the man in gray immediately closed his eyes and prepared to meet the storm, but there was no movement after half a day.
He looked up at Zhao Zhuang Zhuang, Zhao Zhuang Zhuang's face was full of anger, if this was usually placed in a loud reprimand for them, today may be due to the presence of Yan Wang and Shen Girl, so he did not get angry.
"It's not something to be seen about, why did you keep spitting it before?" After hearing them say this, Shen Bing breathed a sigh of relief.
It didn't matter if she breathed a sigh of relief, so that the owner of Zhao Zhuang, who wanted to be angry, also swallowed his anger back, and could only echo Shen Bing's words again and again.
"Indeed, this matter is not a big deal at all, you don't have to kneel there all the time, let's get up!"
"Thank you, owner, Miss Shen."
After hearing the relaxation in Zhao Zhuang's tone, the two of them quickly stood up from the ground, patted the soil on their bodies and stood aside honestly.
"Since you have made a lifelong decision, then I will be a witness today, Master Zhao, you will not punish them in the future."
Shen Bing was worried that the two of them would be punished by Lord Zhao afterwards, so he negotiated the conditions with Lord Zhao in advance.
"Miss Shen has spoken, she will naturally obey in the next place, you can go down first, but the things in the villa must not be neglected, otherwise you will be punished in the future."
After Lord Zhao finished speaking to the two of them, the two of them left with a thousand thanks. Chu Ruoyan and Shen Bing set their eyes on the remaining three again, these three people seemed to be very honest and responsible, and they couldn't see any clues from them at all.
"Let's go, take us to where you live."
After Chu Ruoyan finished saying these words, he went to the house where the servants lived with Lord Zhao Zhuang and Shen Bing. The courtyard where these people live is relatively small, and several people live in one room, but they all have their own cabinets.
Chu Ruo ordered his guards to step forward, open every cabinet, and carefully search for it. Although Master Zhao had searched for it before, he had never entered the servant's room.
After turning over all the cabinets, the guard shook his head at Chu Ruoyi, indicating that he had not found anything.
Chu Ruoyan was a little surprised by this result, he frowned and thought for a long time, judging from the looks of the three people just now, one of them must be this thief, and now in the villa, I haven't heard of anyone going out during this time.
"I wonder if any of these people are going out in the next few days?" Chu Ruoyu said this to Lord Zhao Zhuang when she said this, but her eyes looked back and forth on the three of them.
When he heard the second half of the sentence, the eyes of one of them obviously hesitated, and Chu Ruoyan seized this opportunity and immediately came to him.
"Are you going out in the next few days?"
Before the servant could come back to his senses, Master Zhao Zhuang had already spoken first: "His Royal Highness King Yan is really a clever plan, you have already found it yourself before you say who it is." ”
"I ...... It is true that I will leave this villa and go to the capital, but it is also to help the villa buy some supplies. ”
As soon as this man admitted that he would leave the villa in the first half of the sentence, he began to make excuses later.
"Did you take the thing? Take it out! Chu Ruoyao's sudden question made this person's eyes stunned for a moment, and then he began to shake his head.
"The little one doesn't understand what His Royal Highness King Yan is talking about."
"When I was checking the cabinet just now, you were the only one of the three who was the most nervous, and you were the only one who was the most nervous, and you were the only one who breathed a sigh of relief when the guards found nothing."
After Chu Ruoyan said this, she glanced at Shen Bing proudly, as if she wanted her to praise herself, but Shen Bing was indifferent to Chu Ruoyao's small movements, and kept staring at the three of them.
After seeing that she was left out, Chu Ruoyan was very helpless, so she could only continue to speak: "If you didn't hide something in the cabinet, why did you have such an expression?" Even if you didn't take the jade pendant, then did you do anything to be sorry for the villa before? ”
"I don't know, I don't know anything!" The man's spirit was on the verge of a breakdown.
Seeing him say this, Chu Ruoyu gestured to his guard, who stepped forward and put a rope in the man's hand.
