Chapter 31: The Thief
The nursing home of the Tang Mansion was searching, Tang Jiao and Chen Peiyao were drinking tea in the inner room, and they could see the excitement outside through the window.
The Tang Mansion is not small, and it is still easy to find something with such a big search.
In less than half an hour, the nursing home found where Tang Liu and the others lived.
Five people lived in two rooms, one for three women and one for two men.
Two rooms were searched, and two silk threads, a pair of jade bracelets, a pair of pearl earrings, and a brocade tunic were found inside.
The things were sent to Tang Jiude, and Tang Jiao and Chen Peiyao also came out of the inner room.
One of the two pieces of silk is the pair of different-faced silk made by Tang Jiao, and the other is from the hand of the Weaver Girl.
The pearl earrings are Tang Jiao's, which were given to her by Nullah Cheng last time, and the brocade coat is also hers, which Zou Niang made for her last time, and the one on Chen Peiyao is from the same piece of material.
As for the pair of jade bracelets, it belongs to the Ming family, and she will take it off because of the trouble of making silk, and she can't find it after coming and going.
Tang Jiude's chest rose and fell in anger, "Bring me those things that are not as good as beasts!" ”
Tang Liuwu was so frightened that he was trembling, and he was pushed over by several nursing homes.
"Explain to me what's going on, why are the things for the nobles in the palace in your house?"
The five fell to their knees and began to beg for mercy.
"It's none of my business, uncle, someone must be trying to frame me!" Tang Liu spoke first and put the matter on others.
The steward in charge of the search spoke, "Sir, this pair of silk of the young lady was found under his bed. ”
Tang Jiude kicked him in the chest, "You still dare to give me a quibble!" ”
"Uncle, I was wronged, it must be a pillar, he was in the same room with me, he stole something and hid it under my bed."
The pillar was not happy, "Fart, I'll take one of Miss's coats!" ”
Tang Jiao's movements to check the different face silk paused slightly, and she twisted her eyebrows to look at the pillar.
Gu Youwei was also stunned for a moment, and his long legs gave a kick to the pillar, "What the hell are you doing with Miss's coat?" ”
The pillar's cheeks flushed instantly, and his eyes flashed.
are all boys of this age, what else does Gu Youwei not know?
Angry, he gave the pillar another kick.
Tang Jiao also felt disgusted, she would never ask for this dress.
But this is what Zou Niang made for her.
She turned her head to look at Chen Peiyao, but saw Chen Peiyao's eyes looking at the pillar.
This is a ruthlessness that Tang Jiao has never seen, it is obviously just a look, but it is like a poisonous snake, giving people the illusion that there is no way to live if they are targeted.
Tang Jiao subconsciously made a swallowing motion.
For a moment, she seemed to see Lord Chen who was in a high position in the previous life.
It seems that he has been getting too close to him recently, and really treats him as an older brother, so that he has forgotten the future identity of this person.
Subconsciously took half a step back.
Chen Peiyao caught her movements, restrained the emotions in his eyes and looked at her.
What Tang Jiao wants, these big eyes can't hide it from him.
Chen Peiyao reached out and rubbed her head, the strength was soft, and Tang Jiao's tense body relaxed a little.
"Scared?"
Tang Jiao hurriedly shook her head, how could she admit that she was afraid.
"No, I just think my brother is a little strange."
The fingers on Chen Peiyao's side contracted slightly, "Don't be afraid. ”
Tang Jiao nodded, making her expression less stiff.
Over there, Tang Liu still didn't admit anything, and he had to put the blame on others.
And the three women who lived next door to him confessed to taking several other things in order to clear their name of stealing silk.
Tang Liu knew that the crime of stealing the different face silk was too serious, he couldn't admit it, and after looking left and right, his eyes fell on Tang Xiaodou in the outermost circle.
"Uncle, it's really not me, it's Tang Xiaodou, he must have stolen something and hid it under my bed."
Among the six people left, only Tang Xiaodou was estranged from Tang Jiude.
Now that the Alien Silk has been found, it doesn't matter whose crime it is.
What's more, Tang Xiaodou has no father, no mother, and no one to rely on, this thief is the best for him.
Tang Jiude naturally thought of this, and raised his voice to ask the nursing home to bring Tang Xiaodou over.
Tang Xiaodou was frank, he didn't expect the evil of these people in front of him.
"The master is not me, Tang Liu dislikes me and doesn't let me sleep in the same room with them, I live with the people in the house these days, they can testify to me."
But Tang Jiude just wanted to end this matter quickly, where would he listen to what he said.
"You are still quibbling, you don't learn well at a young age, and now I will have people twist you to the county government to see if you dare to do this kind of thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs."
said that Tang Jiude was going to ask the nursing home to take Tang Xiaodou away.
Tang Jiao knew Tang Jiude's thoughts and felt disgusting to him.
Xiaodouzi hadn't reacted yet, his face was full of astonishment and puzzlement.
He was still explaining, but no one listened to what he said.
Looking at his lonely and thin figure, Tang Jiao thought of himself in his previous life.
In the courtyard of the General's Mansion, she is not so isolated.
Tang Jiao was just about to step forward, and someone was one step faster than her.
Gu Youwei pushed away the two courtyards that were going to take Xiaodouzi away, and protected Xiaodouzi behind him.
Looking at his neat movements, Tang Jiao stiffened for a moment.
Isn't this going to defend people?
In her previous life, she was in such a situation, and I thought he could protect her like this.
Suppressing the emotions in her chest, she silently took a step back to Chen Peiyao's side.
"Master, I don't think this matter was done by Xiaodouzi, if you decide the case like this, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of other people in the house." Gu Youwei said.
Tang Jiude looked at him unkindly, "Do you know what you're doing?" Get out of here! ”
"Master, please investigate this matter carefully."
Gu Youwei's expression was firm, and his attitude was clear, he was not afraid of Tang Jiude.
Tang Jiao looked at Gu Youwei like this, and her eyes fell on the little bean behind him again.
Gu Youwei can defend Xiaodouzi like this, I am afraid that it is because Xiaodouzi has the same background as him.
"Bastard, have you forgotten who your master is? Don't even listen to me? If you make trouble, I'll send you all to the yamen! ”
"Come on, pull them both down!"
Tang Jiude wanted to end this matter quickly, and he didn't even look at Gu Youwei, who was usually important.
Tang Jiao looked at the relieved relatives of the Tang family, and felt uncomfortable.
She raised her foot and was about to step forward, when Chen Peiyao spoke.
"It's just right to send it to the yamen, the county order is clear today, and it will definitely help the Tang Mansion find out about this matter, at that time, I'm afraid that not only the murderer, but also the murderer's family and relatives will have a black spot on their backs, and I am seriously afraid that they will not be able to enter the imperial examination."
Tang Jiude valued the future of the Tang family the most, and when he heard that he couldn't enter the imperial examination, his eyes widened.
