Chapter 380: Lockdown
If Lu Tianhui was the only one in this room, he would not show mercy at all, but there was a little beauty hiding behind the screen.
Lord Geng greedily glanced in that direction twice, Lu Tianhui frowned, and immediately blocked in front of him, blocking the other party's sight.
said coldly: "Lord Geng, even if you are an official, you can't rashly bring people in, we are just civilians who have traveled here, and we have not violated the law and discipline, nor have we done anything that hurts heaven and reason, why should we be coerced by you." ”
"There is no violation of law and discipline, hahahaha, it's ridiculous." Lord Geng immediately took out a jade pendant carved from white jade from his arms, and said righteously, "This is found from the top of your carriage, it is really the jade pendant of Prince Tang Yuan, you are thieves!" ”
"Nonsense." Lu Tianhui was neither humble nor arrogant, "What jade pendant, we have never seen it, but you have always been aggressive, don't think that you can frame us by taking something casually." ”
"I see that you don't see the coffin, don't cry, I heard that when you tried to get out of the city during the day, you went to great lengths to hide the jade pendant on the roof of the carriage, but fortunately you were not allowed to go out during the day, otherwise, the jade pendant would have disappeared a long time ago."
Is that jade pendant really a lost thing?
Su Qingyan quickly thought about the words of defense, they had definitely never taken any jade pendants, and they didn't know why this thing appeared in their carriage.
Lord Geng dared to come over and take people, he must have made sufficient preparations, if he fought, Ah Lin alone may not be an opponent.
"My lord, just based on this thing, we can't conclude that we stole the jade pendant."
Su Qingyan came out from behind the screen, and the matter had come to this, she couldn't cringe anymore.
"You dare to quibble!"
This thing was found by the yacha himself on the roof of the carriage, and the innkeeper can testify, even if Su Qingyan has a lotus tongue, he can't tell why.
"Since we have checked our carriage, we should know that the carriage is huge and has a high roof, and when walking on the side of the road, it is inevitable that fallen leaves and debris will fall on the roof, perhaps the thief threw the jade pendant on the roof of our car and blamed us."
The flesh on Lord Geng's smiling face shook and sneered, "Do you think this official will believe you?" These words are just procrastinating words, and today, none of you can run! ”
The officials behind him had already drawn their swords, and they were waiting for him to give an order and pounce on them to take them down.
"Wait a minute!" Su Qingyan stepped forward, her eyebrows serious, "My lord, since you believe that we stole the jade pendant, can you let me see the jade pendant." ”
The atmosphere gradually stalemate, Lu Tianhui raised his vigilance, and a vicious battle would start at any time.
Lord Geng rolled his eyes and asked Su Qingyan to look at the jade pendant, it seemed to be nothing.
Su Qingyan took the jade pendant, which was a disc pendant carved from mutton fat jade, which was suitable for hanging around the waist as a decoration.
The color of mutton fat jade is round, and it is deeply loved by the princes and nobles, but the mutton fat jade is also divided into good times, this piece of jade is not the best, it can only be said that it is so-so, in a small township, it is a rare thing.
Su Qingyan rolled his eyes, and his thin lips opened lightly: "I thought it was some rare treasure, it turned out to be just a piece of jade, this kind of thing is put in the capital, and it can't be given away, so why steal, and I'm not afraid to laugh off my big teeth." ”
Master Geng: "You! ”
"My lord, we are from the capital, and treasures and treasures have long been commonplace, you can check out our package, which contains some jewelry that I have with me, and I can get my hands on anything."
Lord Geng was suspicious, and glanced at the yacha behind him, and the yacha understood, and went around to the back to fetch the package. When I opened it, there were a few bracelets and hairpins inside.
In line with the principle of low-key travel, Su Qingyan didn't bring too many expensive items, and randomly picked a few things that looked pleasing to the eye, which was just enough.
Master Geng glanced at her suspiciously, and said, "These are indeed treasures, but what evidence do you have to prove that you didn't steal them?" ”
Su Qingyan hooked his lips and guessed that he would ask: "These are all custom-made, the little girl's surname is Su, and there is a Su character on it, adults don't believe it, you can check it." ”
I took a gold bracelet in my hand and looked at the inner wall, and there was indeed a Su character engraved inside.
Could it be that what she said was true?
Looking at the real treasure, the piece of jade pendant in Lord Geng's hand suddenly looked for it, the Tang family was a big family in their town, and Tang Yuan even took this piece of jade to show off.
If there are really people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, and the people from the capital are different.
"Are you really from the capital?"
Lord Geng began to be jealous, the people who came from the capital were not ordinary, and looking at their appearance, they didn't look like merchants or the like, could it be that they were the relatives of the nobles?
"We are indeed from the capital, this trip is going to Songcheng, passing through the town, if it is not for today's closure, we will not stay, and there will be no jade pendant on the roof of the car, I heard that Lord Geng and the lord of the jade pendant are close friends, this kind of righteousness, people are all admirable."
Saying nice things appropriately can ease the atmosphere.
"Look at the face, Lord Geng is a good official who loves the people like a son, is upright, although the jade pendant has been found, but the person who stole the jade pendant is still at large, please also ask the adults to be clear."
Lord Geng took back the jade pendant, seemed to listen to Su Qingyan's words, turned around and said: "But you refused to search and beat the officials, even if the jade pendant is really not taken by you, there must be an explanation for this matter." ”
"This ......" Su Qingyan twitched the corners of her mouth, only this matter, she had no way to justify, Lu Tianhui did beat someone.
"That's right, I hit the person, what do you want." Lu Tianhui took a step forward, and his cold aura was overwhelming.
The officials frowned, and the knife almost reached his neck.
was so arrogant, Lord Geng was jealous of their identities, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
"This official tells you that you have not yet gotten rid of the suspicion of stealing jade pendants, and if there is no one in your eyes and you are arrogant and unreasonable, I will take you down immediately."
"You dare!" Lu Tianhui began to threaten, and the cold face and aura overwhelmed the crowd.
Lord Geng tried again and again: "If you are so arrogant, there is a kind of you who will report your name."
Lu Tianhui snorted coldly and said word by word: "Then you can hear clearly, my name is Lu Tianhui." ”
The people of the government retreated in this way, and all the officials who surrounded the third floor left, and the silence of the whole room was restored.
The people below didn't understand: "Master Geng, why did we quit, didn't we want to arrest someone so that we could hand over to Master Tang?" ”
Whether to catch it or not, how to catch it, it is all up to Lord Geng himself, and the people below do not need to intervene.
Master Geng asked impatiently, "You said that you found the jade pendant on the roof of their carriage, where is that carriage now?" ”
The chagrin replied, "The carriage has been seized, and it is in the official palace." ”
"It's detained in the government's mansion......" Lord Geng was worried, "Go back first, let me see the car." ”
On the way back, the yacha around him kept chattering, and on the way, he also met many villagers who could not leave Chunfeng Town because the city gate was closed.
The villagers sat helplessly on the streets, or blocked at the gate of the city, and the scene was very chaotic.
"Lu Tianhui, I always feel like I've heard this name anywhere." Lord Geng racked his brains to recall, but he couldn't think of anything.
"My lord, this is the carriage."
The carriage was rudely placed in the backyard of the official mansion, and it was looked over by the officials inside and out, but fortunately, the valuables were all carried by Su Qingyan, otherwise they would definitely be scraped away.
