Chapter 39
"Pa... If you don't tell the truth, you will be tortured."

Master Xue slapped the gavel, which frightened the Mobei businessman into a shiver.

But now he must bite to death, so he said: "This South Sea red coral is indeed something I bought, if you don't believe it, you can check it casually, sir."

Ban Xia narrowed her eyes slightly, no one had reported the theft of the South China Sea Red Coral in her previous life, and it was only when the South Sea Red Coral was delivered to her that the government was alerted.

Thinking of this, Banxia felt more and more that it was Jin's so-called.

She looked at Lord Xue and suggested, "My lord, this red coral from the South China Sea is an invaluable and precious item. It must have been hidden by some noble person. Maybe they don't even know it's lost."

These words are polite, this South China Sea red coral is priceless, it must be kept well, who will go to see it every day.

Lord Xue immediately said to the yamen servants: "Let the wind out, and say that the yamen seized a red coral from the South China Sea. If anyone belongs to it, hurry up and bring the evidence to claim it."

The South China Sea red coral is invaluable, and most people want to pretend to claim it, but if they are required to bring evidence of the South China Sea red coral that can be claimed, no one will dare to take advantage of the loophole.

When the Mobei businessman heard this, he thought it was over, it was over, wouldn't it be if someone came to collect it.

The Jin family who just took a lunch break here was woken up anxiously by Nanny Qin.

"Madam, Madam is not well, this Mobei businessman has been arrested."

Hearing this sentence, Jin immediately woke up and asked, "What? What's going on?"

Nanny Qin told about what happened in the yamen, and the Jin family became anxious immediately.

"When did that little bitch go out? Why didn't Yinling and Ginkgo come to report?"

Qin Nanny shook her head: "I don't even know about this servant, but now this Fu Yin, Mr. Xue, has asked people to claim it."

Hearing this, Jin's heart skipped a beat: "If we are found, we will be in big trouble."

"Madam, why don't you go to the yamen to prevent them from investigating further. You are their mother and they dare not go against your wishes in public."

Jin shook his head: "If I go to stop it, then there is no silver 300 taels here, which makes people suspicious, not to mention that it is too late to stop it at this point."

"Then madam, what should we do?"

"Quick, go to the palace quickly and we can ask the imperial concubine for help, maybe we can save it."

Almost two hours passed, and finally an elderly lady and master came to the yamen in a hurry.

When the old lady saw the South Sea Red Coral, she smiled pleasantly and said: "Yes, it's this one, luckily there was no danger."

As soon as Lord Xue saw the two of them, he immediately stepped down from his seat.

He said respectfully: "Uncle Lao Guo, Madam Lao Guo, please forgive me for not being able to greet you."

Old Uncle Guo's face was displeased, and he said coldly: "I don't know what's lost in this old Uncle Guo's house, what a joke, whoever is that little thief, I will definitely not forgive you lightly."

The old uncle and his wife smiled kindly and said: "It's thanks to Mr. Fu Yin who made the tour, otherwise I would die with regret!"

Madam Lao Guo turned around and raised her hand, and in an instant, two maidservants brought over a dowry gift list.

"Master Fu Yin, look, this is my family heirloom, the South Sea Red Coral, which was given to me by my parents when I was dowry, and it is recorded in this dowry gift list."

Mr. Fu Yin Xue quickly took the dowry gift list and looked at it, it was indeed clearly recorded.

Moreover, the handwriting is obviously old, and it cannot be faked at all.

The old Mrs. Guo ordered someone to put away the South China Sea Red Coral, and then said: "Fortunately, I didn't lose it, otherwise I would have no face to face Quan Xia's parents! Thank you, Mr. Fu Yin."

Mr. Fu Yin Xue wanted to keep the credit, but he couldn't keep so many eyes watching him!
So he said: "Uncle Lao Guo, Mrs. Lao Guo, this red coral from the South China Sea was not retrieved by the lower officials, and the lower officials dare not claim the credit."

"Oh?" Uncle Lao Guo looked at Mr. Xue, the governor, suspiciously.

Fu Yin Lord Xue pointed to Ban Xia: "It's all thanks to this young lady..."

Then he told everything about what had happened, and everyone looked at Ban Xia in unison.

Cang Zhu and Jing Mo broke into a cold sweat in their hearts at the same time, but fortunately, the younger sister exposed it in time, otherwise the blame would have to be blamed on both of them.

They are businessmen from the Mobei Kingdom, and they left after patting their buttocks. Then who will prove what they said, and the name of theft will naturally fall on them.

What's more, what was stolen was something from Lao Guo's uncle's house, and it was Lao Guo's wife's dowry. The crime is unimaginable.

Mrs. Lao Guo looked at Banxia: "You are?"

Ban Xia leaned over slightly to salute, her courteous and thoughtful appearance was no worse than that of a princess raised in the palace.

She smiled and said: "Old uncle and madam, the little girl Banxia is the youngest daughter of Yaohou's mansion."

Mrs. Lao Guo was surprised: "Is that girl from the countryside?"

Ban Xia nodded slightly, still with a faint smile on her face, not paying attention to the word "countryside" at all.

Uncle Lao Guo frowned, this girl was far from the rumors, so he asked, "Why did you immediately see that the red coral in the South China Sea was stolen?"

Ban Xia bowed to the old uncle and explained: "If you go back to the old uncle, how can the little girl have the ability to spot stolen goods with golden eyes, but the two elder brothers know how much money they have in their hands, and with Ban Xia's questioning The businessman hesitated to explain clearly, so Ban Xia felt that someone who sold high-priced items at a low price was not a thief, and the source could not be determined."

Uncle Lao Guo nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Ban Xia with admiration in his eyes.

"I've remembered your kindness, old man. If you need help in the future, just ask."

Uncle Lao Guo's words are very important, it can be regarded as friendship with Pinellia.

Lao Guojiu's wife took Ban Xia's hand kindly and said: "Girl, thanks to you this time, I will often go to Lao Guojiu's mansion to talk with me in the future."

Ban Xia nodded, and then reminded: "Uncle Lao Guo, madam, Ban Xia has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Madam Lao Guo immediately said: "You can just say it."

Ban Xia smiled: "Old Uncle Guo's mansion is as high as the sky after all, and the loss of such a valuable item in this mansion should have been concealed deliberately."

Pinellia said it euphemistically, but it actually means that there is an inner ghost in the mansion, and it must be investigated.

Uncle Lao Guo's face darkened: "Girl, I understand what you said, and I will investigate thoroughly when I return to the mansion."

Then the old uncle Guo said to Fu Yin: "This matter must be punished severely, if you dissatisfy the old man, you will know the consequences."

After finishing speaking, he took the old uncle and wife and left together.

Only then did Ban Xia look at Jing Mo: "Second brother, if such a big event happened, do you still plan to hide the person who made the match?"

Thinking of this, Liang Jiang became furious: "It's that old bastard butler, let's see how I deal with him when I go back."

Mr. Xue, the governor of the house, immediately ordered someone to bring the steward of Yaohou's mansion when he heard this.

This shocked many people in the Yaohou Mansion, and the old lady also got the news.
