"What?!"

Gonggong Cao, who was talking and laughing with Qi Chengxu, suddenly sank his face, threw the tea bowl in his hand on the table, and walked over quickly.

Qi Chengxu stiffened, caught up and shouted:

"It can't be! I was there when I counted these dozens of boxes! I saw it sealed with my own eyes, how could there be less! ”

Gonggong Cao looked at a few little eunuchs with his back hand, "Have you counted clearly?" ”

"Father-in-law! I counted three or four times, and weighed it twice, but the weight of one was missing! ”

A thousand sapphires can be wrong, but the weight can't be wrong!

Qi Chengxu glanced at the scales, his eyes were dark, and he yelled at the family next to him:

"What are you looking at?! Don't look for it yet! ”

There were suddenly a bunch of people on the ground, and Qi Chengxu grabbed Chang Sui Chen Chen's collar with his backhand and smashed him in front of the box.

"You counted this box of sapphires! It's also the box you sealed! Where did the missing one go! Say! ”

"Second master! The little ones really don't know! Small injustice! ”

Chen Chen knocked his head, and the noisy movement quickly led the old lady in.

When the old lady saw the situation, her hands and feet trembled in panic.

"What's going on...... this?"

Father-in-law Cao lost the smiling face and kindness just now.

Eagle-like eyes swept over Qi Chengxu and the old lady.

"Second Prince Qi, do you know that if you can't find this missing sapphire today, not only you, but also the commander of Yu Linwei, and even the miscellaneous family, will be questioned by the emperor!"

Lee's stumbling stumble, and the flowers are discolored.

"One less...... How could there be one missing! Father-in-law, my second master is the most cautious! How could it be less! ”

The old lady held down Li and swallowed her saliva with difficulty.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, no matter what is missing, the Hou Mansion will find it, even if you can't find it...... Will definitely make up for it! Please forgive my second child for his negligence! ”

Father-in-law Cao sneered, "Just forget it if you find it, it's good for everyone." Repair? In this box is a Persian sapphire, and there are only a thousand of them in Dayong. ”

The old lady, Qi Chengxu and the Li family immediately turned white.

Father-in-law Cao scolded his mother in his heart.

Negligent? Negligence in such a big matter, it's really mud that can't support the wall!

I have heard that the second master of the Marquis of Wuding Mansion is not as good as his eldest brother who made contributions at a young age.

The commander of Yu Linwei was also dizzy, just because of the friendship between his old lady and the Hou Mansion, he handed over such an important matter to Qi Chengxu.

Something really happened now, they all had to be dragged into the water by Qi Chengxu one by one!

This kid is a poisonous weed, whoever touches it will die.

The relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The Li family, who was carried away a second ago, has a more bitter face than anyone else at this time.

As time passed, nothing was found, and the old lady and the Li family were no longer tenable.

Ji Shu only spoke at this time.

"Bring two chairs for the old lady and the eldest lady."

"Don't look for it, since you can't find it in the warehouse at this time, it means that it wasn't accidentally dropped, so don't waste your time."

Gonggong Cao looked at Ji Shu with some admiration in his heart.

After such a thing, even he was a little cold with his hands and feet, but the second young lady was so calm, and she was worthy of being the daughter-in-law who turned the tide and saved the Marquis of Wuding's mansion back then.

Ji Shu called to the nursing home and pointed at Chen Chen's group: "Arrest them." ”

The nursing courtyard rushed up and knelt all the family members to the ground, and Qi Chengxu kicked Chen Chen in the face.

"Bastard thing! Say! Who the hell took the gem! If you don't hand it over honestly, I will kill you today! ”

"Second Young Master Mingjian! The little ones really didn't take it! How dare the little ones have that guts! ”

Ji Shu: "No one else has entered the mansion in the past few days, and the thieves will be in the mansion." Ye say, "Who has gone into the treasury these days?" ”

"Except for the second master, it's those of us who count...... The servant who delivered the meal—"

A flash of light flashed in Chen Chen's mind.

"And then that day, Miss Bao and Mother Wei came! The rest of the time, the storeroom door is locked! Only the second master has the key! ”

"First of all, as he said, bring all those who have come."

Ji Shulei acted resolutely, and stabilized the scene in a few words.

The panic in Qi Chengxu's heart finally calmed down, he looked at Ji Shushuli's side face, and a warm current surged in his heart.

"Shu'er ......"

Qi Chengxu raised her hand and wanted to hold Ji Shu, but as soon as her fingers touched the back of Ji Shu's hand, she immediately dodged it.

Ji Shu got goosebumps.

said with a cold face, "Second Master should hurry up and see if there is anything wrong with other things." ”

Qi Chengxu was not suspicious, and checked according to what she said.

still remembered Ji Shu in his heart, and looked at her with gentle eyes, but his face turned green in an instant.

Ji Shu is wiping the back of his hand that he touched with a silk handkerchief!

Qi Chengxu's expression twisted.

What does she mean?!

Are you a contagious virus?

I'm her husband!!

Ji Shu threw away the silk handkerchief, "People haven't come yet?" ”

"The slave and the maid go and urge."

Not long after Xi Tao left, she rushed back with someone, "Madam, everyone has arrived." ”

Qi Baoxin was tired from being tortured by the thousand-character text, and was falling crookedly in Jiang Fu's arms at the moment, looking at Ji Shu with resentment.

Jiang Fu didn't know what was going on, and she didn't have much eyesight to see, so she shouted loudly when she came:

"Ji Shu, you are too ruthless, Baoxin is only five years old, so you want her to stay up late and memorize a thousand-word text! What should I do if I burn my body! Ah Xu, you have to call the shots for Bao Xin. ”

Qi Chengxu saw Jiang Fu at this time, but he was a little annoyed.

"Why are you here?"

"I went to see Baoxin in my mother's yard, and I heard that she hadn't slept all night, and Ji Shu was looking for her, so I followed. Brother Xu, what's wrong? ”

"It's not about you! Stop making a lot of noise! ”

Jiang Fu's eyes turned red when she was yelled, and she said aggrievedly: "What can be more important than being the master of Baoxin......"

"The affairs of the saint will still be ranked behind your Hou Mansion!"

Gonggong Cao didn't know when he walked to the threshold, holding his hands and looking gloomy.

Smack-

Qi Chengxu subconsciously gave Jiang Fu a slap with his backhand.

"I told you not to make a noise! Can you die if you stay up late to warm your book! ”

Jiang Fu's face was swollen by the beating, and she didn't dare to say anything more.

Qi Baoxin also slipped out of her arms, her face was smug, and she stood on the ground trembling.

Ji Shu glanced at the people outside the house, and said slowly: "Gong Cao is just catching the thief who stole the Persian sapphire, and this person is among you!" If you honestly stand up and return the sapphire, you may be able to drop it lightly. ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and suddenly all the subordinates looked left and right in a panic, and there were people among them who stole the tribute?

Gonggong Cao's sharp eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally landed on top of one person's head.

After Ji Shu finished speaking, everyone else's reaction was nervous, suspicious, and curious, and only this person ...... His face was full of horror.

Ji Shu stepped forward quickly and dragged the person out.

"Qi Baoxin! Where is the sapphire! ”

"It's not me! I didn't steal it! ”
