Tang Jiao waited for her hair to dry and fell asleep.

I got up early the next morning, and after breakfast, I went to the weaving workshop.

Ming came a little late, and his face was not very good.

Tang Jiao saw it when she came in.

"Mother, but you're not feeling well?" Tang Jiao asked.

Ming shook his head, hesitated for a moment and said: "The weather has been cold recently, I think that there are still two horses in my warehouse, and I want to take out the sleeves for your sister and brother to make winter, I opened the warehouse this morning, and I didn't find it after looking for a while." ”

Tang Jiao put down the shuttle and plectrum in her hand, "But I missed a place?" ”

Ming shook his head, "That fur is a good fox fur, your grandmother was reluctant to use it back then, I carefully locked it in a mahogany box, I opened it today, and a few Chen Bu are gone." ”

"Is there a thief in the house?"

"No, the more valuable things in my storehouse are still there." Ming was puzzled.

"I think mother, you should go back and take out the list of dowries back then, and let people take a good inventory of the treasury to see if there are any other things missing."

Ming hesitated again, "No, it's not a big deal, it's a lot of effort." ”

Tang Jiao looked at Ming's confused appearance and was a little helpless.

"Mother, let me ask you, is the lock on the door of your storeroom broken?"

Ming's head shake?

"Is the lock of the box where you store the leather broken?"

Ming still shook his head.

Tang Jiao clapped her hands, "This is terrible, that is your warehouse, and the thing is missing when the lock is not broken, so it is designated that someone in the house stole it." ”

"If you don't catch this thief, maybe you will steal something from you in the future, those are the dowries given to you by your grandfather and grandmother, and they are also your thoughts, do you want to see this thief move the hearts of the two old people?"

Ming bit his lip, "Then I'll go back and take a look." ”

Ming left in a hurry.

She has always had a good temper, and on weekdays, the people below make big mistakes and are not punished severely, resulting in a lack of majesty in the house.

Now that things are stolen from the warehouse, it must be an internal thief.

Tang Jiao was not at ease, so she called the fat girl and asked her to go back with Ming.

Tang Jiao ate lunch here, and in the afternoon the fat girl ran back, pouting and looking bad.

"What, who made you angry?"

The fat girl snorted and went to the bench next to Tang Jiao.

"Didn't the slave and maid follow the lady back to take stock of the treasury? I don't know if I don't know how to count a lot of things that are missing, so Mrs. asked all the people in her yard, and guess what? ”

Tang Jiao asked while making silk, "How?" ”

"It's Aunt Chun!"

Tang Jiao was surprised, stopped and looked at the fat girl, "Are you sure?" ”

Fat girl Nunu mouthed, "The key to Madame's treasury is in her hands on weekdays, and when things are gone, who else can she be?" She still doesn't admit it. ”

Tang Jiao twisted her eyebrows.

She thought of the people who were close to Aunt Chun on weekdays.

I thought of the days of prosperity in the second room in recent times.

Yesterday, she wondered where the silver in the second room came from to raise the extra two mouths.

So it's here!

"Maybe it's really not Aunt Chun."

"Miss can help her speak."

Tang Jiao was helpless, "What can I do for her?" Think about it, Aunt Chun'er and her family are all working in the Tang Mansion, and she does some sneaky things, but she implicates both her man and son, do you think she has the guts? ”

The fat girl thought about it.

Although Aunt Chun is a broken mouth, she is not very bold, and she is quite a little cringe.

The fat girl was deflated, "Who else can it be, Madame is about to cry." ”

Tang Jiao thought about it, but decided to go home.

These subordinates knew that the Ming clan would not be severely punished, so they naturally did not tell the truth.

Moreover, this matter involves the second room, and Tang Jiude supports the second room, and the Ming family can't take out that courage.

hurriedly returned to the Tang Mansion, and before the person entered the Ming courtyard, he heard Aunt Chun'er's cry.

When Tang Jiao entered, she saw people kneeling in the courtyard, wronged one by one, and the subordinates next to her lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.

Tang Jiao walked over, and Aunt Chun immediately knelt down two steps.

"Miss, you are the master of the slave and maid, it is really not the slave and the maid who stole it, even if you give the slave and maid a hundred dares, the slave and maid will not dare to touch the lady's dowry."

A handful of snot and a handful of tears, to the point that he really looked wronged.

"You get up and speak first." Tang Jiao helped her up.

Aunt Chun avoided Tang Jiao's hand and kowtowed twice, "If Miss doesn't make the slave and maid the master, the slave and maid will kneel here and not get up." ”

Tang Jiao glanced at her twice, and then took two steps back.

"Since you want to do this, then reply on your knees like this."

There was a momentary pause in Aunt Chun's crying.

"You ask, but you are in charge of the key to my mother's treasury where the dowry is kept?"

Aunt Chun'er trembled and said "yes".

"And where do you store this key?" Tang Jiao asked again.

"It's in the box next to Madame's makeup."

"Have you ever lent someone a key?"

Aunt Chun thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "No, in addition to the key to the treasury, there is also the key to the door of the lady's courtyard, where do the slaves dare to lend it to outsiders." ”

She knelt, Tang Jiao couldn't see her face, but she could also see the small movements of her fingers, which was obviously uneasy.

"Really? I'll give you another chance, and you should think about how to answer. ”

Tang Jiao's voice was faint, but when Aunt Chun heard it, it smashed on top of her head like a hammer.

She was completely panicked at this moment.

But there is no good fruit to eat by offering that to the man.

She hesitated, "The slave really doesn't have a ......"

Then she heard Tang Jiao interrupt her with a sneer.

"I don't want to make yourself feel better, but I don't even care about the life or death of your son and your man."

Aunt Chun was suddenly paralyzed with fright, and fell to the ground, "Slave, slave and maid know that she is wrong, please don't blame my man and son." ”

Tang Jiao glanced at her lightly, "It's too late, I just gave you a chance what are you going to do?" ”

Saying that, Tang Jiao left her and raised her feet to walk into the house, Aunt Chun'er was already sweating profusely on her head, and hurriedly went to catch Tang Jiao.

Tang Jiao waved her sleeves to avoid her touch, and the fat girl also stopped her.

Tang Jiao glanced at the trembling subordinates in the courtyard, and said coldly: "Since you are the slaves and maids of this courtyard, you have to recognize your master, what is the use of eating inside and outside, what is the use of keeping it?" ”

How could a group of people have ever seen such a Tang Jiao, and they were so frightened that they knelt down.

"Pull her out and sell her."

The two little guys in the courtyard looked at each other, but they didn't dare to step forward.

After all, Aunt Chun is the steward of their yard, and she used to be in charge of all of them, so they didn't dare to do anything to Aunt Chun.

Tang Jiao's eyes fell on them and smiled angrily.
