Chapter 215: Thieves
Seeing that he agreed, Wang Xiancheng hurriedly spoke:
"By the way, brother, this matter is very high, so we must do it all at once."
Hearing him say this, Master Li thought about it and waved his hand:
"Don't worry, my Li family is not short of manpower, this will definitely be done, you can rest assured."
Seeing that Master Li promised to swear like this, Wang Xiancheng was relieved.
Three days later, in the workshop.
Because had been explained by Bai Wanning in advance, they have been very vigilant in the past few days, and they will patrol very carefully whenever there is any trouble, for fear of being accidentally mixed in by some messy people.
But even with such serious precautions, something went wrong.
When Meng Lianyi got the news, he saw that Xu Niangzi was vigilantly holding two thieves in the courtyard, and when she saw Meng Lianyi coming, the two people's faces changed and they wanted to escape, but it was too late.
They are now being pressed so tightly that they can't escape at all.
Meng Lianyi looked at the two of them and frowned, and said to the:
"What's going on?"
Xu Niangzi hurriedly replied: "A few days ago, the owner instructed me to be more vigilant during this period of time, so I didn't relax at night, and I have been sending people to guard the workshop, and it is because of this that I caught these two people who tried to sneak into our workshop at night, and the two of them seemed to want to steal something after they came in, but they were found by our people and stopped in time." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Niangzi was also a little scared in her heart.
Fortunately, I was very vigilant for a while, so I found these two thieves, otherwise if I didn't find out, I would be responsible for the problem in the workshop.
I was treated so trustedly by the two owners, let her be a woman in charge of the entire workshop, if something really happened, then even if the two owners didn't blame themselves, they would have no face to do in the workshop.
Thinking of this, she was also very disgusted with the two people who came to steal things today.
And Meng Lianyi nodded when she heard what she said.
He frowned and looked back at the thief.
The two of them knew that they would not end well after being caught this time, so they also closed their eyes and said nothing.
Meng Lianyi frowned when he looked at him like this, and asked:
"Who are you? What do you want to do when you come to my workshop? Tell me honestly, or I'll send you to the government." ”
When the two of them heard this, their eyes did not change at all, and they frowned and did not speak.
Meng Lianyi's face became even more ugly when she looked at them like this.
He didn't speak for a long time.
"Don't think you're going to get through by pretending to be dead now." Meng Lianyi said.
Hearing Meng Lianyi say this, the slightly thinner of the two opened his eyes and glanced at Meng Lianyi, and then said:
"We two brothers just felt a little hungry when they were passing by, and wanted to sneak into your kitchen to find some food, and I was caught by your people before I could find anything to eat, but I didn't steal anything from you, you had better let us go, otherwise you won't be able to sue you even if you go to the official uniform."
Hearing him say that he came to steal food, of course the didn't believe it.
He slapped the table heavily and said angrily:
"You said you came to steal something to eat, but why did you go to the embroidery room as soon as you came in, the kitchen is not there."
Hearing what the said, the two snorted coldly and said:
"We're just coming in for the first time, how do we know where your kitchen is, and besides, what can we two big men steal from your embroidery room?"
As he spoke, he pursed his lips with a look of disdain.
Meng Lianyi looked at them like this, and knew that the two of them were prepared.
The person who sent them over should have thought that the two of them might be arrested, so they explained in advance what they would say if they were arrested, and it seemed that they couldn't ask anything from the mouths of these two people.
Thinking of this, Meng Lianyi also sighed with some disappointment, and said to Bai Wanning on the side: "It seems that I can't ask anything, these two people are prepared." ”
When Bai Wanning heard this, her face changed and she said, "Who sent it?" ”
Meng Lianyi thought about the people he had offended during this period of time, and said, "It should be the Li family, as for whether anyone colluded with him, it's hard to say." ”
Hearing Meng Lianyi say this, Bai Wanning's face became a little ugly.
It's not the first time that menstruation has provoked them, and they are doing such things like this, which makes Bai Wanning very disdainful.
But there is no other solution to this problem.
In the end, Bai Wanning could only ask Meng Lianyi's opinion: "Then how should we deal with these two people?" ”
Meng Lianyi thought for a while and said, "Since these two people are here to steal something, then what the two of them have stolen, whether it is the first time to come here or not, it is up to them to have the final say." I remember that the treasury where the silver was stored in our workshop was stolen two days ago, and I suspected that it had something to do with them, so I sent them to the government office and asked the county magistrate to investigate this matter. ”
Hearing Meng Lianyi say this, Bai Wanning's eyes lit up suddenly.
yes, they can sneak in and steal things and not hand over the people behind the scenes.
Then you can also talk nonsense.
Thinking of this, Bai Wanning said to the: "XU, these two people stole five hundred taels of silver from our treasury, so send the person to the official mansion quickly." ”
Hearing Bai Wanning say this, the two thieves suddenly became anxious.
Hurriedly got up from the ground and said to Meng Lianyi with an angry face: "Don't talk nonsense, this is the first time the two of us have come to Qingshui County, and we have come to your embroidery room at night, when did you steal your family's silver?" And we carry all our things with us, and you may find silver? ”
Hearing him say this, Meng Lianyi was not in a hurry.
He looked them up and down with his arms crossed, and then said:
"You say it's the first time you come to Qingshui County, it's the first time you came? Is there any evidence to prove it? ”
Hearing Meng Lianyi ask this, the two of them were also angry and couldn't say a word.
They used to be messing around, but they didn't expect to be treated by others now, so they couldn't deal with this matter for a while.
So his face became a little ugly.
Seeing Meng Lianyi's eyes with anger, he looked like Meng Lianyi was harming them.
Meng Lianyi didn't care either, and instructed Xu Niangzi: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't send people to the government quickly." ”
