Pastoral little master

Chapter 397 Hard evidence
No matter how surprised Tan Decai's family was, they were the most suspected of the money being stolen.

All day today, Mr. and Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Zhao were at Qiduo's house. Only Mr. and Mrs. Tan Decai, Sizao, Bali and Zhang Xiaozhen were at home. Erlang and Shiro came back for lunch at noon.

No one from the family came in, but the money disappeared. Of course, Mr. Tan and his wife would suspect the third son's family.

"Father, mother, we really didn't do such a wicked thing. We didn't enter the main room all day today." Faced with doubts, Tan Decai and his wife were very aggrieved and shouted for grievances.

Brothers Erlang and Shiro also said, "We went out with grandpa and grandma in the morning, and we ate lunch in the East Wing. After the meal, the two of us went to bed. From the beginning to the end, we all went into the main room, didn't we?" us."

"Hmph, there are only a few of you in the family, who else would you be if it wasn't you? Don't argue any more, you really can't treat us like cowards." Zhao scolded bitterly.

Qiduo frowned slightly, and asked Tan Decai, "Third Uncle, is there an outsider coming to the house today, or is there any unusual movement in the main room?"

Wu's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "I remembered, the second uncle came back in the morning, stayed for about half an hour, and then said to go to the eldest brother's house to talk to you about the matter, just as soon as I was in a hurry, I forgot about it gone."

"What, the second child has come to the house too? Then he came into the main room?" Old Master Tan's eyes froze and he asked hurriedly.

"I went in. I was sharpening my sickle at the time. He said it was too hot outside, so he entered the main room with a bag. After a while, he came out of the main room and left." Tan Decai also said.

The seven pupils also narrowed slightly.

Today Tan Deyin went to his home to borrow money.

Last year, in order to settle the case of the Lin family, Yang wrote an IOU and borrowed 250 taels of silver from Han Hecheng, but he never mentioned this amount of money.

Later, when Sandao married Han Hecheng, both Tan Deyin and Yang believed that the money must be forgotten and there was no need to return it to him.

Unexpectedly, two days ago, Han Hecheng personally brought the IOUs to the door to ask for money, including a total of 500 taels with interest.

Han Hecheng said that if they didn't pay back the money, their family would not be able to live a good life, and said that it was only natural to pay the debts, even if the king of heaven came, he was justified, and no one could control him.

At that time, Tan Deyin spoke very miserably, with runny nose and tears, crying and begging Tan Dejin to save their family.
Later, although Qiduo was unwilling to borrow money, Tan Dejin still lent 200 taels to Tan Deyin.

The money was still borrowed in front of Mr. Tan.
But Tan Deyin took the silver and left Qiduo's house in a hurry without even eating lunch, saying that he would collect the silver to pay back Han Hecheng.
Qiduo immediately extended her suspicion to Tan Deyin in her heart.

Grandpa's money was not lost early or late, but Tan Deyin lost it when he came, and his grandparents were not in the main room at that time, so what was Tan Deyin doing sitting in the room alone?

Also, Tan Deyin's family is relatively short of money at the moment. I still remember that when the family separated last year, he also mentioned an incident, saying that his grandfather dug out a jar of silver at the bottom of the wall, which is said to be worth several hundred taels.

No one else knew about the fact that grandpa dug up the silver, but he, Tan Deyin, had a nose and eyes when he said it.

If this matter is true, it is very possible that Tan Deyin came to play the money when he was short of money.

Of course, it is not ruled out that this incident was done by Tan Deyin's family. It happened that Tan Deyin came to the house today, and his family stole the money. Then they can push everything to Tan Deyin and make Tan Deyin a scapegoat. This is also a good strategy.

Qiduo analyzed it in her heart, then looked at Mr. Tan, and asked, "Grandpa, I wonder how much money you lost?"

Mr. Tan showed hesitation on his face. It seemed that this question was difficult to answer, and his expression was embarrassing.

Zhao's expression on the side was also a little unnatural, as if they didn't lose money, but stole someone else's money.
"That's right, dad, how much did you lose?" Mrs. Wu also hurriedly asked, this is a good opportunity for one person to inquire about the family background, how can I let it go easily.
Seeing her grandma's expression, Qiduo's heart sank. It seems that what Tan Deyin said at the beginning was true. Grandpa really has a hidden amount of money. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such an expression now?
Thinking of this, Qiduo's heart turned cold.

If grandpa really had money, he would have been too cold-tempered. Back then, Liu Lang was so sick and was waiting for money to save his life, but he kept saying that he had no money, and in the end he cruelly separated his family.

This move is really chilling!

Could it be that in his old man's heart, money is really better than human life?

Qiduo suddenly lost interest, and didn't want to bother to find out who stole the money.

So, she remained silent, did not speak again, and the expression on her face was also faint, as if she had nothing to do with it and hung it high.

After a while, Mr. Tan seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "I remembered, I have marked the silver on it, and anyone who uses it will be able to find out the real thief." .”

He sidestepped the question of the amount.

Then he looked at Qiduo, "Qi girl, help grandpa think of a way to find out who stole the money?"

Qiduo was already standing in the corner, but she didn't want to stand out.

But now that Mr. Tan called his name, she could only say, "Grandpa, you must have lost a lot of silver. Those who stole it either hid it at home, or put it in the bank, or used it to pay off debts and so on." , let's go to these places to find it first."
In my heart, I was a little speechless about Mr. Tan marking the silver. How much I love silver, I would think of marking it.
Mr. Tan nodded, thinking that what Qiduo said made sense, he looked at Tan Decai's family, "I will give you one last chance, if you hand over the money now, we will treat it as if it never happened. Otherwise, if it is found out, I will definitely send you to the government for questioning, and I will never forgive you lightly."

He still thinks Tan Decai's family is the most suspect.

Tan Decai subconsciously looked at his two sons. Anyway, he didn't do this himself, but he couldn't guarantee whether these two evildoers would be fascinated by ghosts.

"Father, look at what we did, we didn't do anything, how many times do you have to say this before you believe it." Erlang and Shiro shouted at the same time, very unhappy, it feels really bad to be wronged.
Seeing his son like this, Tan Decai secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and let Mr. Tan ask for someone to search.

After some searching, there was no result.

So Mr. Tan asked Mrs. Zhao to watch at home, and at the same time did not allow Tan Decai's family to go out, and then he took Tan Dejin, Tan Debao and Qiduo to the county seat.

After several people went to the county seat, the soldiers divided into two groups.

Qiduo went to Chunfeng Deyi Building to find Xu Youxuan, and asked him to help him go to various banks to ask if Tan Deyin had deposited silver in the banks today.

Mr. Tan went to Tan Deyin's house with Tan Dejin and Tan Debao.

Faced with Mr. Tan's questioning, Tan Deyin denied it in every possible way, and refused to admit it, saying that he just went to the main room to enjoy the coolness, and he never did the theft at all.
Then in his home, no money was found.

Tan Dejin went to Chunfeng Deyi Building, found Qiduo, and told about it.

Xu Youxuan asked people to inquire in the bank, but found no useful news.

Right now, the only option is to go to Han Hecheng. If Tan Deyin really stole the silver, then it is very likely to return it to him.

If Han Hecheng asked Tan Deyin for the money, then he would be lying and deceiving others when he went to Qiduo's house to borrow the money, and he could also be accused of cheating money at that time.

Xu Youxuan accompanied Qiduo and Tan Dejin to Yayuan to find Han Hecheng.

In the back garden of Yayuan, a young and beautiful woman was sitting in the octagonal gazebo and playing the piano. Han Hecheng leaned on the wooden couch in the gazebo, watching the woman squinting and smiling, her peach eyes sparkling.

The woman raised her eyes from time to time to see Han Hecheng smiling coquettishly.

"Young Master, Seventh Aunt." A servant came to call Han Hecheng.

"What's wrong?" Han Hecheng asked lazily.

"Xu Shaodong's house in Chunfeng Deyi Building is looking for the young master." The servant replied.

"Xu Youxuan? Why is he looking for me?" Han Hecheng Guangjie frowned slightly, muttered softly, and waved to the servant, "Please invite him here."

The boy left in response.

Han Hecheng's concubine asked softly, "Master, there are guests coming, so let's leave first."

"No, you continue." Han Hecheng waved his hand.

The concubine nodded, and the sound of the piano continued to flow from the strings like clouds and flowing water.

When Qiduo arrived at the octagonal pavilion, seeing Han Hecheng and his concubine having fun there, he felt very uncomfortable, as uncomfortable as eating flies.

The beautiful flower-like Santao was spoiled by him like a ghost or a ghost, and now he suffers from hardships in the embroidery workshop, but he soon married another new man to be happy here. It's really unreasonable, why didn't God accept him?

Hmph, damn Han Hecheng!

For Han Hecheng, she can be said to have both old and new hatred in her heart, and she can't wait to step forward and strangle him to death.

Qiduo lowered her eyes, controlled her emotions, and walked over.

Seeing Qiduo and Tan Dejin, Han He was slightly startled, with a slightly displeased expression.

To the Tan family, he also had some resistance and dislike.

After a few pleasantries, Han Hecheng asked Xu Youxuan, "I don't know if Xu Shaodong's family is looking for you, what's the matter?"

Xu Youxuan said, "My cousin has something to ask the young master for help."

Han Hecheng looked at Qiduo with a bad look on his face.

Qiduo smiled and said, "Master Han, may my second uncle pay you back the money today?"

"It's only natural to pay off debts! Why, does Miss Tan still want to come here to seek justice for your second uncle, hum!" Han Hecheng became agitated, and angrily slapped the stone table, misunderstood Qiduo's meaning.

Furious, he shrank the little concubine in fright, his eyes full of fear.

Qiduo smiled faintly, "Young Master Han, what are you doing to make such a big fuss? As you said, it's only natural to pay back the debts. The second uncle's family owes you money, and of course I should pay you back. How can we ask for justice?"

As for the frighteningly high interest rate, she would not argue for Tan Deyin.
"Then what did you mean by asking that?" Seeing that Qiduo didn't mean what he thought, Han He calmed down a little, sat down and asked again.
