After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 194 Liu Er
Early the next morning, Pei Wanyin sent someone out of the palace to pick up Mrs. Zheng.

She got Zheng Suqing's letter yesterday, and she knew that Yun Zhuo was also involved in this matter. In addition, although she didn't have a good relationship with Zheng Suqing, she still liked Mrs. Zheng, an aunt, so she happily accepted her into the palace. .

She didn't know how Zheng Suqing wrote her a letter to ask her to take her aunt into the palace, because she knew that Yunzhuo would tell her anyway in the future.

Although Mrs. Zheng was surprised, she didn't want to do anything to her niece's face, so she got on the sedan chair to enter the palace after tidying up a bit, and in her haste, she also forgot to bring the maid who served her.

After the people left, Zheng Suqing ordered the servants to guard all the maids and servants in the main courtyard, and at the same time asked the people around her to invite Yun Zhuo.

After receiving the news, Yun Zhuo rushed to the Zheng residence.

According to their previous agreement, Zheng Suqing will preside over the trial, with Yunzhuo assisting.

The servant moved two chairs and placed them under the peach tree in the yard. Yun Zhuo and Zheng Suqing sat down together. Zheng Suqing took a sip of tea and said, "I called you all here today. I have something to teach you. .”

"A few days ago, didn't there be a piece of clothing in my mother's box that fell into the open space in the courtyard for no reason? In that box, there was a face that my mother made for me, but it disappeared. If anyone of you took it, please hand it over as soon as possible. , maybe I can be lenient, otherwise, don't blame me for being unreasonable."

As expected, some people hesitated, some were firm, some were silent, some argued, but no one stood up.

Zheng Suqing said again: "I like that look very much, since none of you admit it, then I won't be polite."

After she finished speaking, the maid standing beside her presented a black lacquer and gold phoenix box for her. Zheng Suqing took the box and opened it, took out a stack of papers, and read the contents of the papers one by one: "Wang Chunhua, who lives in Wangjiacun, a suburb of Beijing. Xiaonanwan, father Wang Yonglin, mother Zhang Ying, the family farms for a living... Liu Er, the owner of the house in Yongci Lane, Kyoto, his father works as an accountant in a shop, and his mother is an embroiderer."

After she finished reading, she calmly asked the person in front of her, "How is it? Are there any mistakes or omissions?"

Finally, a bolder servant girl stepped forward: "Miss, what do you mean?"

Zheng Suqing was surprised: "I thought my meaning was obvious? If I find out who moved the box, then her family will also be affected by her."

Yun Zhuo chimed in at the right time: "This is a good idea. A few days ago, someone in my house stole things. After I found out, that person was taken into custody by the government. His father was exiled and his mother was also exiled. After all It’s fine if it’s a small item, but what that person stole was my birthday gift from my mother, it’s really hateful!”

Zheng Suqing nodded, and said again: "I believe you have all seen that box before. It was placed on the shelf next to the sapphire screen. Since no one admits it, so, has anyone seen someone approaching that box in the past few days?" , who can stand up and identify her, I will reward her with ten taels of gold, and when she gets married, I will add ten taels to her, and if she is already married, I will reward her with 30 taels of gold."

The good way of using both grace and power made everyone in the court panic.On the one hand, it was because they were sure that they had never seen such a valuable thing before, but the eldest lady's words were convincing, and it was true that there was a real thief in the mansion!On the other hand, it is because they all understand that the thief must come from among them, but they don't know who it is, and even the best friendship in the past seems worthless at this time.They were only worried that the thief was a handmaiden whom they had befriended, and they were hurting themselves.

They looked around vigilantly and cautiously, unwilling to believe anyone, trying to find clues from the expressions, words and deeds of the people around them.

Madam Zhai has a kind heart, the head of the family is gentle and refined, and the Zheng family is a prestigious family in Beijing. There is no job that is more dignified than being a servant in the Zheng residence.None of them wanted to lose the job.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Zheng Suqing sneered and said, "Maybe some of you haven't figured it out yet? Then you should think about it here."

After she finished speaking, she took Yun Zhuo's hand and left.

The sky is getting hotter and hotter, and the sun is scorching the earth like a fireball. The servants who serve in the main courtyard, even if they are rough maids and housewifes, have a comfortable life. How have they ever faced the loess like a peasant woman in the country? Have you worked hard with your back to the sky?Just bask in the sun for a while, and some people are already complaining that they can't stand it.

Especially when they are guarding such crimes, while the servants guarding them are eating watermelon around them.For a while, everyone felt thirsty, dizzy, and very unbearable.

After about two or three sticks of incense, someone finally came over and called a rough envoy to the backyard.

On the road from the vestibule to the backyard, bloody torture instruments of various colors were placed on both sides, making people feel frightened just by looking at them, and wished they could turn around and go back.

The girl came to the backyard full of fear and saw Zheng Suqing waiting for her standing under the pear tree, so she bowed her body and said, "Eldest... Eldest miss."

Zheng Suqing nodded: "Someone said they saw you entering mother's house a few days ago."

"Miss, I've been wronged!" The servant girl who was weak before, and even greeted Zheng Suqing like a mosquito, heard Zheng Suqing's words, and suddenly burst into earth-shattering cries. Take a knife to your neck to prove your innocence.

Zheng Suqing waved her hand, and the servants who were standing on the side quickly took him away, and then brought another person from the front yard to the backyard, and so on, the situation was mostly the same.

It was not the same until Liu'er.

"The servants serve the madam personally, and it is common to go in and out of the madam's wing on weekdays. Missy can't just think that the slaves are thieves because of this, right? It would be unfair to do so!"

Zheng Suqing glanced at Yun Zhuo, Yun Zhuo nodded at her, passed her, came to Liu'er, and said softly: "Do you know? Before you, the princess has interrogated more than [-] maids. My son, when they heard this sentence, they only had one reaction, crying and saying that the servants were wronged, how come you are so clear when you come here?"

Liu'er was still very calm: "I have read some books, and I know that it is useless to cry when something happens, you need evidence."

She made a pun, not only said that she did not panic because she had evidence, but also pointed out that Zheng Suqing could not wrong her wrongly without evidence.

Yun Zhuo shook his head: "If you haven't done it, you won't want to use evidence to prove your innocence. Smart people will take one step and see three steps, but they don't think about how to deal with it if they are exposed."

"You took out the clothes in the box, right?"

"The slaves don't understand Miss Yun Si's words." Liu'er lowered her head and said softly.
