Chapter 352: Did You Steal?
But at this moment, no matter how much Lu Siniang argued, she seemed too pale and powerless.
She didn't have any evidence to prove that it was the second shopkeeper who sold the hank to her.
In Zhu Xinghe's heart, he actually didn't want to save this unknown Lu Siniang.
She didn't speak, and Ling Tianhan didn't speak either. Although Shuangxi's heart was anxious, when he saw that the masters didn't speak, he naturally wouldn't speak.
The master of the Ye family looked at them like this, and thought that they were "admitting defeat".
Seeing this master swaggering forward, he snorted coldly at Lu Siniang: "This skein is such a valuable thing, how can you exchange it with a small emerald?" ”
Then he turned his head and clenched his fists at Lord Qi in the hall: "Your Excellency is wise!" She is the culprit who stole our Ye family's skein, and please give our Ye family justice! ”
"No, I'm not!"
Lu Siniang really felt desperate at this moment, and cried to Na Qi: "I didn't steal it, I would never do such a thing!" Ask for an adult's knowledge, ask for an adult's knowledge! ”
Lord Qi just wanted to help Lu Siniang, but he had nowhere to start.
could only frown and looked at Zhu Xinghe and Ling Tianhan, who were standing behind Lu Siniang: "Since you are with her, you can't get around it." Did you instruct it? But what else is there to argue? ”
So Zhu Xinghe said, this Lord Qi is a smart person! clearly knew that they didn't want to pay attention to this matter, or to help Lu Siniang involve them.
Zhu Xinghe is willing to give this Lord Qi a face, for the sake of him being a rare good official.
So he glanced at Ling Tianhan, and Zhu Xinghe took a step forward: "Since my lord said so, I also have some doubts, and I want the Ye family to explain clearly!" ”
Lord Qi seemed to be relieved, knowing that Lu Siniang would not die, and smiled at Zhu Xinghe: "Excuse me." ”
The Ye family looked at Lord Qi like this, and they were also anxious: "What do you mean, my lord?" Now that the human and physical evidence are all there, is it difficult for adults to give this thief a chance?! It is said that the adult is the most wise and martial person in this water town, and now it is so difficult to even make decisions for us?! ”
The Ye family uses the radical method, but unfortunately, everyone knows that Lord Qi will not care about this radical method at all!
Sure enough, Master Qi just glanced at the Ye family coldly, and then snorted coldly: "Is it the official who decided the case, or your Ye family who decided the case?" Otherwise, let this court and ask your Ye family to do it?! ”
"You-"
Boss Ye was naturally angry, and he stepped forward to reason with Master Qi.
But he was pulled by Aunt Zhang and the teacher on the side.
The second shopkeeper's words, Boss Ye naturally ignored them, but this master spoke very usefully.
Seeing that the master frowned at Boss Ye, his tone was already extremely impatient: "Can you not be so impulsive?!" Is there anything you can't say that Lord Qi can't finish? ”
Obviously, Boss Ye was afraid of this master, and raised his eyes to look at the master, but he was silent and silent.
Lord Qi nodded to Zhu Xinghe: "Madam, please come forward and say it!" ”
Zhu Xinghe stepped forward, but he ignored Lu Siniang, who was looking at him for help, and instead looked at the witnesses brought by the masters.
The first thing to ask is naturally the little guy who is in charge of sprinkling and sweeping the backyard of the Yuelai Inn: "Sanwu, you said that last night, you saw Miss Lu go to the room where the box was placed, when did you see it?" ”
Sanwu raised his eyes, but met Zhu Xinghe's cold eyes, and immediately lowered his head: "Yes...... It's almost time to be sub-hourly. ”
Zhu Xinghe nodded slightly: "Why don't you sleep when you're a child?" Want to peek at the guests in the backyard? ”
A "peeking" makes Sanwu's behavior very unbearable.
Sanwu blushed slightly, and hurriedly explained: "Can't I get up and pee?" ”
"Okay."
The corners of Zhu Xinghe's mouth were slightly hooked: "But I remember that the place where a little guy like you lives has a thatched house, and you can't use the guest's thatched house." And even if you want to use the guest's thatched house, I'm afraid you won't pass by the place where you can see Miss Lu, but you said that you saw Miss Lu when you got up to go to the thatched house, how can this be explained? ”
In three or two sentences, Zhu Xinghe forced this Sanwu into a "dead end".
Sanwu was stunned, instinctively glanced at the master, and then looked at Master Qi: "My lord, the little one is not lying!" The little one couldn't sleep yesterday, got up to pee, and then walked around the yard to see if there were any places that hadn't been cleaned, didn't it work? ”
If you force it to explain it like this, there is nothing wrong with it.
Zhu Xinghe raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the second shopkeeper again: "There is one more thing to ask the shopkeeper." ”
The second shopkeeper was a sleek person, and he also looked at Zhu Xinghe with a smile, looking very kind: "Madame, excuse me." ”
Zhu Xinghe pointed to the three empty boxes: "Your Ye family is also an imperial merchant in the Ming Zhen Dynasty, and I see that there are a lot of people you brought this time." How could it be so negligent in storing these goods? Putting this item in a warehouse like her that she could enter casually with no effort? Isn't this just a clear statement to everyone, come and grab the goods? ”
Zhu Xinghe's words were actually not polite, but it also made the second shopkeeper have no way to find any reason.
I only looked at the second shopkeeper for a moment, and then stumbled and said, "This ...... There's a reason for that! ”
He hesitated, as if wondering why.
Zhu Xinghe waited and didn't rush.
After a while, the second shopkeeper spoke: "We have walked through this Yuelai Inn several times, and every time the innkeeper will set up a special room for us to put the goods." There has never been anything wrong, so how could we have thought that this time it would be such a mistake? ”
This argument is valid, but it is too reluctant.
Zhu Xinghe pursed his lips and sneered: "So the second shopkeeper means that you want to use the luck given to you by an innkeeper to do this business?" I think the possibility of being robbed and the probability of not being robbed are five or five points, can a person who does business really trust the innkeeper of this small town in Bishui like this? ”
Seeing that things were about to be wrapped around Zhu Xinghe's three or two sentences, the second shopkeeper scratched his ears and cheeks, and even the master became anxious: "Okay!" Madame's statement is not wrong, but it shouldn't have been like this! The fact is that your Miss Lu is wearing our skein, do you still have to argue for her that she didn't steal?! ”
