Chapter 177: Too bold, too dark
Shang Ruyi looked at him for a while and said, "You have a hard mouth."
「……」
"It's a pity that other people's hard mouths are because of innocence, but yours are hard mouthed for quibble. Well, let you die to understand, after all, I have two pieces of evidence in my hands."
Hearing her say this, everyone present was also shocked.
Aunt Hui hurriedly said, "Yes, which two?"
Just as they were talking, Yu Wenye quietly glanced at Mu Xian, who had retreated to the side, Mu Xian understood, and immediately retreated carefully, and at the same time, Shang Ruyi had already said: "Actually, I am sure that he is the person who crossed the kiln cup, because of the date on this list."
"Date?"
When Aunt Hui saw it, she was suddenly shocked, and Hu Hua's face suddenly changed.
Shang Ruyi said calmly: "On the day the Yue Yao Cup was stolen, Chang Wan was locked up in the firewood room, and the pawnshop naturally had nothing to do with her; And from that day on, only the people in your tea room will go out; At the same time, I asked She'er to order all the back doors and side doors of the Guogong Mansion to be closed, and only let you enter and exit through the side doors, so I can remember the people who entered and exited clearly."
"On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, on that day, you carried the food box to the Listening Crane Tower to get refreshments; On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, you will also go; The twenty-eighth of the lunar month is Chen He, and the twenty-ninth of the lunar month is Li Sande...... Hu Hua, do you want me to be clearer?"
Hu Hua's face gradually lost its blood color, and it turned white inch by inch almost from his neck.
He looked at Shang Ruyi, then at Aunt Hui, and at Guogong, who had been silent, his legs were already trembling like pipa strings, but he still insisted and said, "But, even if the little one goes out that day, how can he see that the little one must have taken something? There are so many guests, maybe it's someone from another house—someone from another house?"
Shang Ruyi said, "It's all come to this point, and you still want to blame others?"
Hu Hua stiffened his neck and said, "Small, the villain is innocent."
Shang Ruyi shook his head in disappointment: "The word innocence came out of your mouth, it was really tainted."
After speaking, she sneered and said, "Actually, I only need to send someone to invite the courtiers of the Dengfeng and let him recognize the person to end the matter."
Hu Hua immediately showed a frightened expression.
Shang Ruyi looked up at the sky outside again, and said, "It's just that it's late now, and it's so cold, so I don't want to go far. Have you forgotten that even if you become a cup, you are afraid that the pawn ticket will be ruined by you, but you will never destroy the silver that comes."
That Hu Hua's face suddenly turned pale.
Without waiting for him to argue anything, Mu Xian's heavy footsteps sounded outside again, this time more eagerly.
I saw him striding in from outside with a cloth bag in his hand, and put the things directly on the table: "Guogong, second son, young lady, this is what his subordinates just found in Hu Hua's house, a bag of thirty taels of silver, as well as a hanging of money and some loose money."
As soon as Yu Wenyuan saw the thirty taels of silver, his face immediately sank: "Hmph!"
At this moment, Hu Hua had nothing to argue, so he knelt down in fright, and kowtowed to them again and again: "Guogong, Guogong forgives the sin, spare the villain this time!" ….
Where would Yu Wenyuan pay attention to him, only Shang Ruyi said coldly: "Hu Hua, you don't do a good job in the tea room, you want to steal things, or steal at the funeral of your wife, and what you stole is the Yue Yao cup left by your wife, and you have to blame Chang Wan who serves your wife, are you too bold, or are you too dark-hearted, and you want to make your lady's spirit in the sky unpeaceful?!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of some people in the dining room had changed drastically.
Yu Wenyuan said angrily, "Drag it down!"
Seeing that Mu Xian was about to go around and arrest him, Hu Hua was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, crying so much that he was crying, desperately begging for mercy: "Guogong spare my life, young lady spare me!"
Shang Ruyi said coldly while making Mu Xian's eyes slow down, "I just made my words clear, I made it earlier, I should just turn myself in and get out of the house; But if you steal something, you don't recognize it, that is, you are a thief with an iron heart, since you are a thief, these forty boards
But you can't run away. When I was beaten, I thought about it clearly, and in the future, would I dare to steal again!"
She deliberately accentuated the word "stealing", staring at Hu Hua with burning eyes.
This time, Hu Hua also panicked, and hurriedly said, "Young lady, I, villain, I just took things out, and it wasn't me who stole them!"
As soon as he said this, one of the people in the crowd immediately panicked.
I saw that the noble uncle stepped forward and said, "Okay, you Hu Hua, do you still want to climb around at this time?"
As soon as he stood up by himself, Shang Ruyi's face showed a little disdainful sneer, and Yu Wenyuan also looked at him with a frown, and the noble uncle suddenly came back to his senses, but before he could react, Hu Hua had already wiped away the snot and tears on his face, turned his head and pointed at him and said, "It's clear that you have lost something, and you are afraid that the young lady will come to search for it, so let me take the opportunity to listen to the Helou to get a snack and send the cup out and throw it away."
As he spoke, he turned his head to Shang Ruyi again: "Young lady, the little one can swear by the sky, the little one really didn't steal, it was Uncle Gui who stole the things!"
Uncle Gui pointed at him with a hideous face and scolded angrily: "You spew blood!"
That Hu Hua didn't entangle with him much, and only said to Shang Ruyi: "Young lady, I really didn't steal the thing, the villain is just greedy for money, Uncle Gui took the cup and asked me to take the opportunity to send it out of the house to throw it away, just don't let the people in the mansion see it, and give the villain a penny." Villain, villain is really confused......
Shang Ruyi glanced at the hanging money and the rest of the loose money in the cloth bag, sneered and shook his head.
She looked up at Uncle Gui, who was obviously flustered, and said, "This cup only passed the hands of three people—you, Hu Hua, and Chang Wan. Now that Chang Wan has been proven innocent, then her words are credible, do you remember, what Chang Wan said that day?"
「……!?」
The noble uncle was stunned.
Shang Ruyi sneered: "Chang Wan said very clearly, the cup was taken back and handed over to you for you to put in the book, but you want to say that there is no such thing, this is obviously false. Compare it to Hu Hua's words, and the matter is obvious."
「……」
"You decided from the beginning that you wanted to slander Chang Wan, so the things were handed over to you, and you were not registered; The East Window incident, you heard that I was going to search the house for this cup, and in order to protect myself, I could only destroy the cup and not leave traces in the house, so let Hu Hua take the opportunity to listen to the Crane Tower and send the cup out of the house, so that you can sit back and relax." ….
At this point, her words suddenly broke.
The people in the dining room all felt their breath stagnate, and they saw Shang Ruyi turn his head to Yu Wenyuan and said, "Dad, how to deal with this matter, please take it away."
I saw that Yu Wenyuan's face was calm, and he only glanced at the noble uncle coldly, and then said, "Get out of the house." Settle his wages, and from now on, he will not be allowed to go even half a step closer to the Prince's Mansion!"
Uncle Gui fell to his knees with a puff: "Guogong."
Yu Wenyuan didn't seem to want to see him at all, so he got up and walked out, and Shang Ruyi said to Aunt Hui quietly, "Aunt Hui, Uncle Gui's salary is going to trouble you. And Hu Hua too, there is no need to fight again."
Aunt Hui didn't have any joy or anger on her face, and said respectfully, "It's the duty of the old body."
After speaking, he walked up to your uncle: "Come with me."
The noble uncle cowered, got up and went with her, and the rest of the teahouse dispersed.
Shang Ruyi pointed to the silver in the cloth bag on the table and said to Mu Xian, "You take this money and go to Dengfeng again to redeem the cup." Be careful not to break it."
Mu put away the cloth bag first: "Yes."
With that, he turned around and walked out.
There were only three people left at the dining table in the dining room, as well as Tusheer, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little quiet.
Yu Wenye, who had been silent, suddenly said, "How can you be sure that he will definitely take the cup and go out? What if he is determined to throw things away?"
Shang Ruyi glanced back at him and said with a wry smile, "I'm also gambling."
"Bet?"
"If there are enough people around him that day, naturally send someone out to follow him
Field grab bag to take a current. But if there are not enough people, you can only gamble. In fact, if the thing is missing, it may be that he stole it, but the theft of the thing is whether it is recorded or not, then the matter can only be on Chang Wan and Uncle Gui. I deliberately closed the back door and side door, only letting the people in the tea room go out, and only letting them go through the side door, which is to give them a way to force them to dispose of the cups."
"And then?"
"Then, Uncle Gui is afraid in his heart, and he will definitely dispose of this cup as soon as possible through this line."
Yu Wenye said, "I'm still the same sentence, what if Hu Hua has to throw things away?"
Shang Ruyi said: "He didn't steal the thing, but he went to do the finishing things, obviously someone promised a lot of profits, it is conceivable that this person is a greedy person, how can that greedy person not be tempted by a huge profit."
Yu Wenye said, "You mean, that cup?"
Shang Ruyi nodded: "I deliberately mentioned that cup, and I can use it as a few dozen taels of silver at any pawnshop, how can he not be tempted when he listens to it." Even if it's not Hu Hua who handles the cup, he must be able to understand whose hand the cup is."
「…… Hmm."
"And then I rewarded him with an extra penny."
"What does that mean?"
"If a man has not tasted good things, good things cannot tempt him, and he is reluctant to destroy things of value until he tastes the sweetness. He has received so much money from me, and from those who have entrusted him with his work, that instead of being satisfied, he will only be more insatiable—this is the nature of greedy men."
「……」
"That way, I'm sure he'll find a place to be the cup of the kiln."
「……」
Yu Wenye looked at her and was silent.
It's just that I don't know if it's because there is a candle flame flickering on the other side, and the light in his eyes flickered.
