Crossing the old lady of the farm gate

Chapter 150 Misunderstanding as a Thief

Regardless of his wife's persuasion, Zhang's mother ran downstairs quickly and saw Bai Lan still picking out jewelry.

"You thief is really bold enough. You stole my purse, and you dare to buy jewelry here blatantly."

Bai Lan looked at Zhang's mother who ran down and was a little puzzled. Why did she steal her purse, and did she need to steal other people's money to buy jewelry?It's not that short of a little money.

"This mother can't talk nonsense. What is stealing your money to buy jewelry? Do you think we are like that kind of people?"

"What does it mean to be like that kind of person? Will a thief still call himself a thief? I really can't tell that he has come out to do this kind of business at such an age. The few people next to you should be your son, wife or daughter, right? I don’t know how to accumulate some virtue for them, and do such things that harm others and benefit themselves.”

"If there is anything wrong with this mother, you can directly report it to the official. I have a clear conscience."

"Okay, if you report to the official, report to the official. My master is the magistrate of this county. I will definitely let you go around and steal the money bag and steal it from me."

Bai Lan didn't expect that the lady turned out to be Ding Wenxuan's wife, and she didn't know if Ding Wenxuan was there. Reasonable people.

"Okay! Then let's go directly to the county government to go to court. Find the county magistrate to decide for us. I believe that your master is a good official. It is impossible for me to beat you to death for an ordinary person like me. The county magistrate is not very good at this. it is good."

Seeing that Bailan said so swearingly that she would go directly to the county government and let the county magistrate decide, even knowing that the county magistrate was her lord, she was not afraid. After checking, the purse was on her body, and she hadn't been anywhere. She came out of the house and came directly to this shop in a carriage. Since entering the door, only the old woman in front of her has bumped into her. .

The lady who was picking out the jewelry upstairs only found out that the purse was missing when she was picking out the jewelry and was about to pay the bill. All the waiters in the shop knew her. She was the wife of the county magistrate. Send the things back to the house and check out.

"Mother Zhang, why don't we just invite this old lady to sit in the mansion and let the master interrogate if she really stole your purse."

"Yes, ma'am."

Mother Zhang looked at Bai Lan proudly and said, "Since this old lady has said so swearingly that she didn't steal my purse, she can only trouble you to come with us to the county government office. Our master will see everyone." However, it is definitely not a problem to deal with petty theft people like you."

"The clean is self-clearing. I won't admit what I haven't done. Yes, I can follow you to the county government, and ask the county master to cross-examine whether I really stole your money bag. "

Mama Zhang directly asked the two maids beside the madam to watch that Bai Lan did not run away halfway, and she helped the madam and took the young master into the carriage directly, letting Bai Lan follow behind on foot.

Bai Lan looked at the carriage in front of her with some envy. They were sitting in a carriage, but they could only walk on foot. After this time, she must buy a carriage.

Fortunately, the county government office was not too far away from the jewelry store, and it took two quarters of an hour to arrive at the county government office gate.

The doorman of the county government saw that it was Madam's carriage, and was a little curious. Madam's carriage usually only enters through the main entrance of the backyard, and never comes to the hall of the county government. What's going on today?

After Mrs. Zhang helped the wife and the young master down, she went directly to a yamen servant.

"Xiao Chen, is the master at home? I caught a thief here, and she still refused to admit that she stole my purse. You must ask the master to interrogate her."

"What, someone dared to steal your purse, Mama Zhang, and even stole it to our county government. It's really audacious."

"Mother Zhang, the master just finished discussing things with the master, so he should be still in the back hall right now."

The guard called a few more people out from inside, and brought Bai Lan and his party to the lobby.

"The other person next to him ran directly to the back hall and called out the county magistrate and master."

Ding Wenxuan was furious when he heard that some people stole money to his relatives. He led the master out, but when he saw the person standing in the middle of the hall.

"Mrs. Chen, why are you?"

Bai Lan said with a smile: "Magistrate, it's been a long time. I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way."

Ding Wenxuan smiled a little embarrassedly, looked at Zhang's mother next to him and said, "Mother Zhang, what's going on? How could Mrs. Chen be a thief?"

Zhang's mother didn't know that her master knew this lady.

Zhang Huilan didn't expect her husband to know the old woman in front of her, "Sister, this is what happened. Today I took Mama Zhang and Zhongming to the jewelry store to buy some jewelry. When I first entered the door, this old woman I was pushed by someone accidentally, and just bumped into Mama Zhang. When Mama Zhang was about to pay, she found that the purse was missing, because she was the only old woman who had touched Mama Zhang just now. Mama Zhang thought she was a Thief."

"How could Mrs. Chen be a thief?"

"Ma'am, this is the Mrs. Chen I told you about. We still have to thank her."

Zhang Huilan did not expect that Bai Lan was the benefactor that her husband-in-law often mentioned, and she originally went to buy jewelry today to give to Bai Lan.

Zhang Huilan came to Bailan with an apologetic face, "This lady is really sorry, all this is a misunderstanding, I am here to apologize to you on behalf of Zhang's mother."

"Madam magistrate, you don't need to apologize. I can understand this matter, and thank you magistrate for giving me justice. If someone touched me and I lost my purse again, it would be natural to suspect her. "

Seeing that the misunderstanding was cleared up, Ding Wenxuan said, "Mrs. Chen, since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's go to the delicious restaurant for a quick meal. We finally ran into you in the county."

"Master County Magistrate, you don't need to eat. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's go first."

Zhang Huilan stopped Bai Lan who was about to leave, "Mrs. Chen, why don't we go to the delicious restaurant to have a light meal together. This misunderstanding is Zhang's mother's fault, so it's my apology."

Mama Zhang knew it was a misunderstanding, so she came to Bai Lan with some awkwardness, "Madam, I'm sorry, I blamed you, my wife and master want to treat you to a light meal, please agree, if you If you don’t agree, you still won’t forgive me.”

Bai Lan saw that it was still early, so she had a meal as soon as she had a meal. Anyway, she would not lose a piece of meat, so she happened to be hungry too.

"That's fine."
