Can't afford to mess with the fast-traveling boss

As Shao Jing told He Gu, he has a very precise grasp of the efficacy of the medicine.The clerk went up to wake Jiang Cai up, and without pushing twice, Jiang Cai, who was still lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.

When Jiang Cai woke up, he was in a daze, and he didn't understand the situation in front of him at all.I can't figure it out, I just fell asleep, why the room is full of people when I open my eyes?Moreover, these people seem to be coming from bad manners, especially when there are so many official servants in official uniforms standing in the middle.

After Jiang Cai woke up, he touched his waist almost instantly on reflex, but after he couldn't touch anything, his face changed drastically.

No matter what he was thinking at the moment, his defenseless performance just now was enough to show that he had a ghost in his heart.He Gu and Shao Jing can also be sure, but Donghai Yemingzhu was not put on him by others to frame him, but he hid it himself.

In this way, Jiang Cai would no longer be inseparable from the theft.

"Are you looking for this?" He Gu looked at Jiang Cai and slowly raised the sachet in his hand.

When Jiang Cai saw the sachet in He Gu's hand, his pupils constricted violently.But soon, he lowered his head, acting as if he didn't care about anything.

But no matter how innocent he is at the moment, no one will easily believe that he is really innocent.

"Why don't you talk?" He Gu took a few steps closer to Jiang Cai with the sachet, and slapped the sachet in front of him, "Look up and take a good look, don't people recognize this sachet?"

Jiang Cai looked up quickly, and then quickly lowered his head: "No... I don't know."

"I really don't know you? Take a closer look!" He Gu stared at Jiang Cai sharply, and put the sachet in his hand under Jiang Cai's nose.

The muscles on Jiang Cai's face trembled stiffly a few times, but his expression remained unchanged.His eyes kept staring at the ground, as if he had made up his mind to carry out "Silence is Golden" to the end.

He Gu saw that he did not speak, nor did he persecute him.Withdrawing his hand, he took the sachet back and handed it to Shao Jing beside him.

Seeing that Jiang Cai was unwilling to explain, the county magistrate frowned, and looked at He Gu: "Captain He, you know what happened tonight best, so I will leave it to you for interrogation."

"Yes, my lord!"

If it was a different person, let alone handing over the case to the other party for trial, it would be nice to be able to guarantee that he would not be suspected.But He Gu didn't have this problem, because everyone knew that he would never do such a blatant thing.

After He Gu got the county magistrate's words, he began to interrogate Jiang Cai directly.

Seeing that Jiang Cai has been reluctant to speak, He Gu directly told the origin of the sachet.

"Although you refuse to admit it, you must be very familiar with this sachet. Because I found this sachet from you, and when you just woke up, you subconsciously reached out to touch your waist, which is enough to explain You know that you have this sachet hidden on your body. Then the possibility of someone deliberately putting something on you to frame you can basically be discarded."

Only then did Jiang Cai look a little panicked, he raised his head to look at He Gu, and then quickly lowered his head.

Seeing Jiang Cai's reaction, He Gu didn't force him. After waiting for a while, he spoke again: "Jiang Cai, let me ask you again. You really have nothing to explain?"

Jiang Cai still didn't say a word.

Seeing that he was still silent, He Gu glanced sideways at Shao Jing beside him.Shao Jing glanced back at him, and said instead of He Gu: "It's okay if you don't tell me, but it's not difficult to find out the source of this sachet."

"The fabric of this sachet is made of high-quality brocade, and ordinary people may not be able to afford it. Most of the people who can afford this kind of brocade are rich and powerful, and the whole town can afford this kind of brocade." The fabrics are not so similar to others. Just send someone to the door and ask and you will know who it is from.”

Shao Jing's words finally made Jiang Cai a little bit overwhelmed, he raised his head and looked at Shao Jing and He Gu in panic.

However, as if he didn't see his expression, Shao Jing continued to say to himself: "Actually, there is no need to investigate. As the son of the housekeeper of Zhang's family, you don't like to socialize with others on weekdays, and people are also boring. , the possibility of intercourse with outsiders is very small, and it is even less likely that the other party will give you such a sachet. So I boldly guess that this sachet was given to you by someone in the mansion."

"no!"

As soon as Shao Jing's voice fell, Jiang Cai hastily denied it loudly.

And his denial is like a perfect portrayal of the 300 taels of no silver here, but it makes people believe in Shao Jing's statement even more.

Seeing him rushing to deny it, Shao Jing showed a comprehension expression on his face: "Oh~ it seems that I guessed it right. Let me guess again, who is the person in the house who gave you this sachet? ?”

As he spoke, he observed Jiang Cai's expression, and Jiang Cai's face was completely pale at the moment.

"It is impossible for ordinary servants in the mansion to have the opportunity to use this kind of brocade, but the people around the master and lady may get a reward of one or two yuan." Shao Jing continued to analyze, "It should not be Zhang Yuanwai, Zhang Yuanwai never used the brocade to buy clothes for himself, and the brocade was mostly for the young lady and his wife. Since the death of Mrs. Zhang, there has been only Miss Zhang as the hostess in Zhang's mansion, so it is not clear who the brocade came from. There's no doubt about it."

"No! It's not like that! It's not like what you said!" Jiang Cai could only repeat this sentence after talking, but no matter how much he said, it seemed that he had been given a password, and he couldn't say anything.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, He Gu asked, "Jiang Cai, I'll give you one last chance to tell what you know, otherwise when we find out, we won't worry about other things gone."

Jiang Cai finally knelt down on the ground with a plop, and looked at He Gu and the others pleadingly.

"It's me! I did it all! I took the Ye Mingzhu, and it has nothing to do with anyone else!"

Jiang Cai is really honest. The best performance he can do is not to speak, not to listen, not to see, not to know.Other than that, he can't do anything else. He doesn't know how to lie. Once he speaks, there are loopholes everywhere, and his expression and tone reveal his guilty conscience.

He said that Ye Mingzhu was stolen by him, and that it had nothing to do with anyone else.Originally, before he spoke, He Gu and Shao Jing also thought that he did it, but after he spoke, they understood that Jiang Cai's involvement in this matter was only a not-so-critical part.

He Gu's eyes darkened, he looked at Jiang Cai and asked, "You said you did it, so how did you do it? What is the motive for committing the crime?"

"I...I...I took the key to open the door of the Treasure Pavilion and took the Ye Mingzhu from inside." Jiang Cai knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "The reason why I...will take the Ye Ming Pearl is because Because...because I heard that the bead is very valuable, so...so I thought..."

"Jiang Cai! You...I treat you and your father like family members, yet you..." Zhang Yuanwai pointed at Jiang Cai with grief and indignation, his face full of disbelief.

He Gu glanced at Zhang Yuanwai, ignored him, but squinted his eyes at Jiang Cai, and sneered: "It seems that you still don't intend to tell the truth, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I... what I said is true!"

"Very good! I still don't want to tell the truth! Someone! Go and bring Miss Zhang and her personal maid!" Seeing that Jiang Cai still refused to tell the truth, He Gu ordered the people outside.

When Jiang Cai heard this, his face turned paler, but he still kept his mouth shut.

After a while, Zhang Yuyan and He Xiang appeared at the door under the leadership of the Yacha.When the people from the yamen came to the door, basically everyone in Zhang's mansion woke up.With such a big event happening in the mansion, it is naturally impossible for Zhang Yuyan to continue to fall asleep.

Therefore, when the Yacha sent the order, Zhang Yuyan had already packed up and waited there.

On the way, Zhang Yuyan asked about the specific situation of the Yacha, but the Yacha was not a servant of the mansion, so he didn't reveal anything that shouldn't be said.So until they reached Jiang Cai's room, Zhang Yuyan and He Xiang were still at a loss. They only vaguely knew that the theft in Zhang's residence was related to Jiang Cai.

They found the lost East China Sea Night Pearl from Jiang Cai's body.

Zhang Yuyan followed behind the Yacha full of doubts, but he didn't notice that He Xiang's face was slightly pale and his eyes were flickering behind her.Finally, as he got closer and closer to Jiang Cai's room, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

"My lord, boss, Miss Zhang and maid He Xiang have arrived." Liang Ye came in and reminded.

The county magistrate still didn't intervene, and He Gu presided over the whole process.

"Let them in." He Gu said.

Zhang Yuyan and He Xiang walked in slowly, with a dazed expression on her face.

He Gu observed the expressions of the two of them, and had a rough guess in his mind.

He raised the sachet in his hand in front of Zhang Yuyan and asked, "Miss Zhang, do you know this sachet?"

Zhang Yuyan finally took a closer look at the sachet, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes: "This... this fabric looks familiar, and it is the same pattern on a piece of brocade that my father sent me a while ago."

"May I ask Miss Zhang, do you still keep the brocade?"

Zhang Yuyan shook her head: "I have already taken it and cut it into clothes, I never kept it."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of another thing, that piece of brocade was indeed used up, and there was not a single piece left.But in fact, after cutting two sets of clothes, Yunjin still had some scraps left over. He Xiang liked it at the time, so she asked for it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuyan lost control of her heart for a while, she almost couldn't help looking at He Xiang, and finally held back.

If the sachet was really made by He Xiang with the leftover material, why did it appear on Jiang Cai?And why is the lost night pearl contained in the sachet?

What is the relationship between lotus and ginger?

What does the theft have to do with Hexiang?

Zhang Yuyan didn't dare to think deeply, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

However, even though she tried her best to restrain her instincts, clues were leaked from certain subconscious behaviors.

Since Shao Jing came in with Zhang Yuyan and He Xiang, he has been staring at them closely.When Zhang Yuyan mentioned Yun Jin, there was really nothing wrong with it at first, but later, her eyes flickered for a moment, and her eyes subconsciously moved to the left rear position, but then she retracted them for some reason.

And standing behind her on the left is He Xiang.

Compared with Zhang Yuyan's weak point, He Xiang's weak point is obviously not small.After entering Jiang Cai's room, his face was pale and he was overly cautious.

Both of them have problems at first sight.
