Chapter 109: Don't You Understand the Mind of an Adult?
Don't Cheng Cai pretended to persuade, "Uncle, you can return the rest of the hidden jewelry, money is important, but with that money, you must also have that life flower!" β
"Money is such a thing, life does not bring it to death, as long as we live well as a family, money can be earned slowly."
"Each piece of jewelry is so precious, ordinary people may not be able to earn one or two pieces in their lifetime, how can you steal such valuable things?"
Li Shen looked at Bei Chengcai with cracked eyes, pointed at him and couldn't say a word, he wanted to expose Bei Chengcai's hypocritical face in public, and told everyone that stealing things was instructed by Bei Chengcai, and the remaining eight pieces of jewelry were not on him, all of them were hidden by Bei Chengcai.
But when he saw Li Mo'er and Li Mo'er's belly, which was already slightly pregnant, he hesitated.
Although Bei Chengcai is not a person, some of what he said makes sense, those jewelry are worth hundreds of taels of silver, and ordinary people can't earn so much money in their lifetime.
As long as she has that money, her sister will definitely be able to live a good life in the future.
Li Shen has lived a hard life for more than ten years, and no one knows better than him how important money is, more important than the lives of poor people.
He has worked hard all his life, and he will never earn that much money.
His eyes became decadent in vain.
"I confess."
"It's true that I stole the things, but I've lost the remaining eight pieces of jewelry."
Sunan's face condensed.
"Even now, do you still want to keep it private?"
"Someone, cane punishment!"
"Hit the twenty boards first, and if you don't find out where the rest of the jewelry is, you will hit it until he recruits it!"
Four tall officials came to Li Shen's side, two stood on the left and right, the front two were cross-inserted under Li Shen's armpits with black and red water and fire sticks to prevent movement during the execution, and the two officials in the back each held the water and fire sticks in their hands, raised them high, and fell down heavily.
"Slap, slap, slapβ"
One stick after another was on his buttocks, making a scalp-numbing sound, and at first Li Shen could grit his teeth and insist, but he groaned in pain before hitting five times.
The servants are all practitioners, and they have a lot of strength, and after the twenty boards, Li Shen was already wet with sweat, and his buttocks were even more open, and the piece of fabric was also stuck to his buttocks with blood.
He was lying on the ground, unconscious.
The official brought a basin of water and poured it on Li Shen's face, so that his whole person had to regain consciousness.
Sunan asked expressionlessly, "Where is the rest of the stolen goods?" β
"Truthfully recruited!"
Li Shen's lips were trembling, looking at his sister crying not far away, and the appearance of Bei Chengcai's weak heart, the hands on both sides of his body were clenched into fists.
"Back to the adult, the grass people really don't know where the rest of the jewelry is, they left in too much hurry at that time, and they didn't see how much jewelry they stole clearly."
"Maybe I got it lost on the road and was picked up by someone else."
"It's also possible that other bosses didn't lose so much jewelry at all, they wanted to frame me, the jewelry I stole was only the ones you found, and I didn't steal the others at all, where did I find so many jewelry out of thin air to compensate?"
Bei Chengcai hurriedly helped to speak.
"My lord, although Li Shen is a little bit of a thief, he is quite honest, especially with a stupid mouth, he is not very good at lying, what he said may not be true."
"What if he really only stole so many things, and he was wronged by Beiye and Gu Rao?"
"He did steal Gu Rao and Beiye's things, but how much he stole is now Gu Rao and Beiye's final say, in order to get more things, they are likely to bite Li Shen back!"
"Li Shen is the future uncle of the grass people, and the grass people really can't bear to see him being desired!"
"Please be aware of it!"
Li Mo'er also hurriedly kowtowed to plead for her brother.
"My lord, the brother of the folk girl was just confused for a while, so he went to steal things, but now it has been discovered, and the whereabouts of the stolen things have also been ascertained."
"As for the eight pieces of jewelry left in Boss Gu's mouth, my brother said that he didn't steal it, so he must not have stolen it, I don't believe you can send someone to search the people's daughter's house again!"
Sunan was shocked.
"Silence!"
His eyes circled thoughtfully between Bei Chengcai and Li Shen, then looked at Gu Rao and asked, "Gu Shi, are you sure that the missing pieces of jewelry are fourteen, not only the six pieces that have been found so far?" β
Gu Rao's expression was calm.
"What the women lost is indeed fourteen pieces of jewelry, and there has never been half a lie, please be aware of it."
Sunan nodded.
"I know."
"Come on, go to Wild Boar County again, go to Li Shen's house, and search Bei Chengcai's house, don't let go of any corner, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find all the lost jewelry of the Gu family."
Li Chengcai was a little panicked.
"My lord, how can the grass people be such a scholar, how can they covet things of unknown origin? The reason why I accepted the two pieces of jewelry given by Li Shen was because the grass people studied every day and had no time to earn money, and the family had a difficult life, so they had to accept the subsidy from the future eldest brother. β
"What's more, those two pieces of jewelry, Li Shen said that it was for Mo'er's dowry, let me keep it in advance, I dare to accept it, no matter more, it will be impossible!"
Sunan's eyes were indifferent.
"Don't mess around, whether there is a private collection or not, the official will find out after a search."
"Come on, take Li Shen, Bei Chengcai, and Li Mo'er into prison separately, and wait for clues to be found and retried at a later date."
"Quit."
-
After coming out of the yamen, Gu Rao and Bie Ye thanked Wen Mo, and then went back to the inn to rest together.
A man walked out of the yamen, walked quickly to Gu Rao and Bie Ye and stopped them, but he only looked at Gu Rao alone, as if it was superfluous to even look at Bie Ye, and looked at Gu Rao for a while before he said in a complicated tone, "Miss Gu, my family is invited, can you take a step to speak?" β
He selectively ignored Gu Rao's coiled hair, as well as the tall man around him who was obviously with Gu Rao.
When Gu Rao heard that it was that person who wanted to see her, a sudden and sigh crossed her eyes.
If it were the original owner, I would definitely be very happy to be able to meet the person I used to like in this kind of place after going through so many tribulations.
But the original owner has passed away.
Although she has the memory of the original owner, she has no love for Sunan, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with the person the original owner once liked.
"If it's a case, you can wait until tomorrow to talk about it."
Jin Tong's eyes were full of astonishment.
"Miss Gu, don't you understand the mind of an adult?"
Gu Rao, "......"
It's useless for her to understand, she's married now!
After Jin Tong finished speaking, he seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and only then did he realize that Miss Gu was no longer the Miss Gu she used to be, and now, should she be called Mrs. Don't?
But he couldn't scream.
