Chapter 149: Acquaintances Commit Crimes (Ten Changes)
"The footprints on your pavement are still intact." Ye Sanniang said suddenly, and said unhurriedly, "There is a mourning at home, and there are few people who come to visit the door!" He pointed to his shoes, "There's no way I'm going to fly over your yard!"
"It's all about the same cloth shoes, what can you see? Don't argue for yourself." He Xiwang looked at her gloomily and said.
Ye Sanniang lowered her eyes and swept the shoes of the villagers, all of them were cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles, or straw shoes, the weather was not too cold, so she was simply barefoot.
Ye Sanniang hasn't been wearing satin-covered embroidered shoes since she moved here, and the embroidered shoes went out for a spin and scratched when she came back.
The feet are wearing cloth shoes with white backgrounds and black faces, and there is no special pattern on the bottom, which is not easy to judge.
This footprint can be judged by a man, but if the footprint is small, a woman or a child.
Forget it, just wait for the official to come and prove your innocence, as for whether the money can be found, it doesn't matter to yourself.
It's embarrassing to stare at such a big eye!
"That Mrs. Ye, you really killed someone." The villager asked curiously.
"That's right." Ye Sanniang's clear eyes looked at them and said frankly.
Crash...... All of a sudden, the villagers leaned back in fear, forgetting to sit on the small stool, and for a moment the people were on their backs.
Hurriedly grabbed the stool and ran away in a panic.
The door of He's house, which was surrounded by water, was quiet all of a sudden.
Ye Sanniang raised her eyebrows lightly, and her index finger crossed the peak of her eyebrows, what can she say? It can only be said that the people here love and hate clearly, and they are very simple!
"Mother, are you okay?" Ye Yan walked over and squatted beside her.
"What can I do?" Ye Sanniang rubbed his head gently with her eyes and said, "Why are you here?" Looking at the two brothers, he asked.
"When is the official coming?" Ye Luoxing squatted down and looked at him levelly.
"It will take some time to get back and forth from here to the government." Ye Sanniang's dark pupils looked at them and said, and then asked, "Are they okay!"
"There's Grandpa Mancang, it's okay!" Ye Luoxing glared at the He family and said, "They dare to be good at private houses, send them to prison."
"Bunny ......"
When He Mu opened her mouth, she was frightened by Ye Sanniang's "pop ......" clapping.
He Mu swallowed the remaining words back, and glanced at Ye Luoxing with eyes like knives.
"Poof!" Ye Sanniang blew her hand lightly and glanced at He Mu.
Mother He was so frightened by her frozen eyes that she swallowed her saliva, moved her body, and curled up against the door frame.
"This hand is dirty, you have to wash it well when you go back." Ye Sanniang said lightly, looking at Ye Yanxing with gentle eyes, "It's uncomfortable to squat, get up!"
Mother He's face flushed with anger when she heard this, what did she mean, she said that she was dirty! I had the heart to fight back, thinking of those two slaps, my hands clasped the door frame, my nails were broken, and I could only sulk alone.
Before the official came, He Mu and his wife did not speak.
And looking at the lively villagers, they only dared to climb their own walls and probe their brains, and no one was surrounding the door of He's house.
The sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the prefect came with his messenger in person.
Seeing that the prefect had found the backbone, He Mu rushed over, took the horse, did not dare to approach, and shouted, "Lord Qingtian, you have to call the shots for us!" This money has been stolen, how can I live!"
A trace of disgust flashed in Lord Lu's eyes, he tightened the reins and jumped off the horse, looking at He Xiwang not far behind her and said, "He Xiwang, this mansion is naturally doing its best."
"Your Excellency." He Xiwang walked over in three or two steps and bowed his hand.
Lord Lu handed over the horse to the servant, looked at the He family and said, "Let's go to your house and have a look."
Lord Lu's dark eyes flashed as he looked at Ye Sanniang, who was standing at the door, and said, "Mrs. Ye, why are you here?"
"The He family lost the money, and I reported it to the official, and I hope the government will return my innocence." Ye Sanniang
Lord Chaolu blessed his body and said unhurriedly.
Lord Lu's dark eyes flashed as he looked at her and said, "The He family thinks you stole their money."
"Yes! The He family thinks that Hedong Village has simple folk customs, how can there be thieves!" Ye Sanniang's clear eyes looked at the He family and his wife, and said in a weird manner, "Only I, an outsider, am the most suspicious."
"You think so too." Lord Lu looked at He Xiwang and asked.
He Xiwang swallowed his saliva, and under Lord Lu's gaze, "Before Mrs. Ye came, there had never been a thief in our village."
"I don't know what happened before I came. But the He family made a windfall, which everyone in the village knows." Ye Sanniang's clear eyes looked at them and said calmly, and specially pointed out, "One hundred taels of silver, what a lot of money."
Lord Lu couldn't help but roll his eyes, it was because no one had a large amount of silver.
The folk customs are simple, the house is not closed at night, and there is nothing to make the thief worry about the four walls of each family.
I don't know the truth that this wealth is not exposed!
"Let's go! Let's go to He's house." Lord Lu looked at the He family in front of him and said.
"After I reported to the official, no one in the He family went in again." Ye Sanniang's dark eyes looked at Lord Lu and said calmly.
"Lord Lu!" Ye Yanxing's brothers bowed in unison.
Lord Lu nodded at them and strode towards the He family.
Lord Lu looked at Ye Sanniang's mother and son, who were standing at the gate and no longer walked forward, and a subtle smile appeared in his eyes.
Officials are on assignment to handle cases, and idlers are not allowed to enter!
Lord Lu looked at the He family and said, "Let's go in and have a look."
Lord Lu took the errand servant and the He family and his wife through the small courtyard and stepped into the main room, looking at the still clean and tidy room with some surprise, "Hasn't this room been cleaned up?"
"What do you do to tidy up the room? The money is lost, and my soul is scared." He Xiwang said with a sad face, "Who is still in the mood to take care of the house."
Lord Lu looked inside and outside the house and said, "Are you sure the money is lost."
"It's lost! on the beams." He Xiwang raised his eyes and looked at the beam of his house, and pointed to the wooden box on the ground and said, "This silver is placed here, you see." As he spoke, he picked it up and handed it to Lord Lu.
Lord Lu's dark eyes stared at him and said, looking at the hand wooden box, the color of the wood, very ordinary!
"This thief knows your family well, so familiar that he doesn't have to rummage through the cabinets to know where your money is hidden." Lord Lu patiently looked at the couple and explained, "Let me ask you if there is always anyone in this house?"
"Yes! Because my family has money, and because of the funeral, I can't go to the house, so I'm always at home." When He Mu heard this, he said, "I went to the latrine, and the money was gone."
Lord Lu raised his voice and said, "Mrs. Ye is not a thief, she didn't steal your family's money."
