Gu Qisheng's words were like a boulder thrown into Su An's Lake, setting off huge waves.

"What? You say the thieves are from the Sioux Mansion? What basis do you have? Su Fang couldn't accept Gu Qisheng's conclusion. Needless to say, he, his wife and daughter are the two housekeepers he relies on are confidants who have been with him for more than ten years, how can he steal his daughter's dowry?

Gu Qisheng was not in a hurry, but said lightly: "Master Su, don't you have an idea, the thief is familiar with the meaning of the pattern?" And there are a few familiar people, and the adults must also know in their hearts that Mrs. Zun and Ling Yan are naturally impossible, but what about them? ”

At this time, Gou Wei also had a judgment in his heart, and agreed with Gu Qisheng's words, and he said to Su Fang: "Master Su, don't be excited, what Mr. Gu said makes sense." Let's check it first, and if they can prove their innocence, it will be a good thing, and their loyalty will not be diminished by it. ”

When Lord Gou spoke, Su Fang did not refute, but also calmed down and began to think.

"I have two stewards, one is in charge of the affairs of the prefecture and the other is in charge of the affairs of the outside of the prefecture. This marriage will involve them mainly in this marriage. Even the dowry in the box was there. I am in charge of the placement of the chest, after all, the dowry is very important. There was nothing unusual before last night, and in the evening the two of them followed me to see the things in the shed. ”

Su Fang just said a few words, and Yun Ya left to capture an important piece of information, that is, these two housekeepers participated in the whole process of the marriage. They are not only familiar with the assets of the Su family, but also familiar with the various matters and processes of this marriage, and they are familiar with every part of the Su family, including personnel guards, duties, and so on.

However, there is another point Yunya who can't figure it out, these two people have been in the Su family for many years and are very familiar with the situation of the Su family, if it is them or one of them, then why did they choose to steal her dowry when Su Li'an got married?

Su Fang called someone to call the two housekeepers in.

A short time later, one of the butlers came in and hung his head for questioning. It seems that he also knows that he will be questioned sooner or later, after all, such a big thing has happened.

Gou Wei glanced at it and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to the adult, the villain's name is Song Liang, and he has been a housekeeper in Lord Su's house for fifteen years." Song Liang took the initiative to embrace the time he spent at the Su family.

Gou Wei glanced at Su Fang, and the other party nodded.

"Tell me about your itinerary after checking the dowry with Master Su last night." Li Tuiguan asked, and at the same time stared at Song Liang's every move.

Song Liang replied: "After the villain and Master Su finished reading the storage of the dowry, they went to the front yard, where the villain was responsible for the arrangement, and there were five people in charge of tying lanterns. After dinner, the villain went to the front yard to sort out the accounts sent from outside the house until the villain returned to the room to rest. ”

Song Liang's courtyard was behind Su Su, separated by an alley.

Yun Ya listened while calculating the other party's time in her heart, this Song Liang's actions before Hai Shi were witnessed, and after going back to rest, someone should see him leave the house.

Sure enough, after Song Liang finished explaining and went out, Gou Wei found people to verify it one by one, and found that what Song Liang said was true, and even when he left Su Mansion and went back to his home, some family members saw him at the door.

The second housekeeper is named Zhang Hong, who is inexplicably matched by his own name, his face is red, and he has the look of Guan Gong.

His itinerary is similar to Song Liang, except that he goes to the account room in the courtyard, because he is responsible for the accounts in the house, as well as all kinds of expenses for this marriage.

His house was also behind the Su Mansion, and I don't know why he didn't go back last night, but just slept on the small bed in the inner tent. According to his reasoning, the various expenses of the marriage are relatively trivial, and he is afraid of making mistakes, so he saves all the time to figure out the accounts.

This reason also makes sense, Yun Ya thought to herself.

The two housekeepers went out, and there were only a few people left in the house.

"What does Mr. Gu think?" Gou Wei spoke first, and his eyes fell on Gu Qisheng.

Gu Qisheng smiled and said, "My lord, it seems that this Song Liang has an alibi, and that Zhang Hong is resting in the mansion, and no one can prove that he has been sleeping in the second half of the night." ”

His last sentence is also obvious, he did not leave the house, and it is entirely possible to manipulate the events of last night. But Gu Qisheng didn't say it to death, this was just a preliminary inference based on the rhetoric of the two.

"Then put the two of them into custody first, and go to search Zhang Hong's residence first." Gou Wei made a direct conclusion.

Yun Ya knew that this method was more appropriate at present.

Gou Wei and Li Tuiguan went to search Zhang Hong's temporary residence, while Gu Qisheng and Yun Ya went to find the family on duty last night again.

"How many of you were outside this shed last night?" Yun Ya asked one of the family members.

Jia Dingjia replied honestly: "Yes, the eight of us are on the night shift, the four of them are in the first half of the night, and we are in the second half of the night." ”

"Then you didn't have anything suspicious in the middle of the night?" Gu Qisheng asked slowly.

Several of them shook their heads, indicating no. This question has been asked several times by my own adults and Gou adults.

Yun Ya thought for a moment and said, "What are you guys doing in the middle of the night, chatting?" ”

Jia Dingjia nodded hurriedly: "In order to pass the sleep, let's chat." ”

"It's just that for some time in the second half of the night, I was so sleepy that I couldn't help myself even talking." In addition, Ding Yi shook his head in confusion, indicating that he was speechless.

Yun Ya nodded and asked, "Can't you all fall asleep all of a sudden?" ”

"Well, in order to get rid of the drowsiness, the three of them also got up and went to the toilet for a walk." Jia Ding Bing replied.

Jia Ding Jia heard Jia Ding Bing say that he was sleepy and went to the toilet, and couldn't help but shoot back: "Also say that we, our drowsiness will be alleviated when we go to the toilet, what about you, when we come back, you are all leaning against the wall and dozing off." ”

"How long have you been there?" Yun Ya's mind suddenly lit up, and a vague thought was surfacing.

Jia Dingjia thought for a while and said, "It's only the time for half a burnt incense, not long." ”

Soon? According to the calculation of his own era, half a stick of incense is equivalent to more than ten minutes, and this information is too important.

Gu Qisheng on the side heard this, his face changed slightly, and he naturally knew what the time difference that the family members said meant.

"Have you talked to Master Gou and Master Su at this time?" He asked the family.

The family members looked at each other and did not speak for a while.

After a while, Jia Dingjia replied: "There are always people here, we just went to a latrine, and we also told the adults, there should be nothing wrong." ”

Yun Ya shook her head secretly and looked at Gu Qisheng.

Gu Qisheng glanced at a few family members and said to Yun Ya, "Let's find a place to talk." ”
