Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 25 Who Stole the Jewelry

After Zhu Ziqi left, Aunt Hong hurriedly turned around the door a few times, and then hurried to the back garden.

Before dawn on the second day, a few people sneaked out of Guihua Garden, those people behaved strangely, and secretly went all the way to the back garden.

Walking straight to a rockery, one of them said: "Gu Hong, take them in and have a look. If there is something, come and report it."

It turned out that this person was the second aunt Ge Lirong. ,

"Yes."

Aunt Hong agreed, and was about to enter the rockery with her, when suddenly two people rushed out from behind.

"Well, it turns out that you stole my jewels!"

The voice was so abrupt that it startled the group of people. When they looked back, they saw Zhu Zixin standing there with Xiao Cui.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did we ever steal your jewelry?"

Honggu pointed at Zhu Zixin and said.

But Zhu Zixin ignored her, looked at Second Aunt, and said, "Last night I told Xiao Cui that I buried something in a cave in the rockery, and you showed up here this morning, isn't it too coincidental?"

"..."

The second aunt was speechless at her question, and looked at Zhu Ziqi behind her as if asking for help.

Zhu Ziqi didn't know how to answer at this moment. After thinking for a while, she straightened her neck and said, "This is the place attached to you. If you are allowed to come here, why don't we come here?"

"Hmph! Well, since you say you are innocent, do you dare to come into the cave with me? I don't believe that people who steal things don't leave any clues."

The second aunt could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, she was very glad that they hadn't entered the cave just now, and, in an instant, a vicious plan flashed in her mind, of course she was sure that Zhu Zixin would not find evidence.At that time, she can make a big fuss about this matter and sue the master, saying that Zhu Zixin has falsely accused her. Of course, she knows that the master has been very tired of this little bitch these days. If she adds another crime of falsely accusing others , then, are you afraid that the master will not punish her severely?It seems that although this little bitch didn't know where he got the courage to come here to catch thieves, but after all, he is too young, how could he be his opponent!
Thinking of this, a savage smile appeared on the corners of her lips, and she said: "Of course, but I have a small request! I don't know if the eldest lady can agree. After all, this matter is not trivial. If Miss doesn't agree, won't we be wronged for nothing?"

"Hmph! In that case, Second Aunt, please tell me."

Without fear, Zhu Zixin sneered.

"Hehe, not to mention whether there are any jewels you mentioned in this cave. Even if there are, the servants still have to ask the eldest lady, where did those jewels come from? This question, the eldest lady does not need to rush to answer the servants, at this moment , you just need to tell the servant, are you sure you want to find the thief?"

Second Aunt asked with a sneer on the corner of her lips.

"That's natural."

Zhu Zixin responded very readily.

"Okay! Then how about we make a bet? Bet that the so-called jewels in your mouth were not stolen by our people. If you lose, you can go to the master to claim the crime yourself! How about it?"

The second aunt said again.

"Okay! What if Second Aunt loses?"

Zhu Zixin asked back.

"If it turns out that one of us stole it, you can deal with it as you say."

Second Aunt also has a well-thought-out answer.

She is absolutely sure, she won't lose, she can only blame this little girl for acting too hastily, and actually came to arrest people before they entered the cave, isn't this a lack of brain, what is it?
After laughing wildly inwardly for a while, the second aunt walked into the cave first, followed by Honggu and Zhu Ziqi, and then Zhu Zixin and Xiaocui.

The stone cave is very small and narrow, so you can only walk in slowly with your waist bent and sideways.

A group of people walked very slowly. After walking about 50 meters away, the front suddenly became clear.

After the few people got there, they all let out a long sigh of relief!

"Ouch, my jewels!"

At this time, Zhu Zixin yelled suddenly, and then ran to the northeast corner in a hurry, where there were indeed traces of being dug by a hoe. On the soft new soil, a pearl necklace was lying there quietly.

"Look!"

Zhu Zixin took the pearl necklace in his hand, walked up to everyone, and said, "What is this? Someone has come here to dig it."

Seeing this thing, Second Aunt, Hong Gu, and Zhu Ziqi's eyes lit up, especially Second Aunt's greedy eyes seemed to be burning like flames. She didn't expect that Madam really hid the thing here!

The first time she saw this thing, the desire to get rid of Zhu Zixin became stronger in her heart. As long as she got rid of her, these things seemed to be hers!

At the same time, I can't help but despise Zhu Zixin's IQ in my heart, the little girl is still too young, although she is smart, she is too impatient!At this moment, in her opinion, these things were undoubtedly given to her by Zhu Zixin for nothing.However, someone actually came here before her!This also made her very angry.A scene suddenly flashed in her mind, her eyes became fierce, it must be, it was the traitor!She got the news by herself first, and then came here impatiently, wanting to poach these things.Unexpectedly, Zhu Zixin discovered the clues, and then he suspected himself.

This is how things are within the scope of her understanding, so at this moment, she hates this traitor even more than Zhu Zixin, as long as she is caught, the things can be found!
"This can only prove that someone has been here, not that we took it. The current plan is to find out that person!"

Finally, she glanced at everyone in the field, her eyes were like a knife, and all the people she scanned shivered.

"Say, which of you was here last night?"

Her voice was so harsh that it actually sounded a little sharp.

All the people flinched in such a voice.

"I advise you to tell the truth quickly and save your mouth. If not, if you are found out, even if Madam is willing to bypass you, I will not spare you."

Hong Gu is also arrogant.

However, even so, no one made a sound.

"Don't be hypocritical here! If you really want to find out the real culprit, light a torch and search this place carefully. I don't believe that someone has been here, and there will be no trace left behind. .”

Zhu Zixin had been watching coldly, but now he said.

"Miss……"

Xiaocui has been afraid to speak, she remembered the oath she made, but she really didn't tell anyone about it, why did it become known so soon?She was afraid that her young lady would no longer trust her.So he groaned in embarrassment.

"Do not talk!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zixin interrupted her violently.

With a torch in his hand, Zhu Zixin, together with the others, slowly searched in the cave.

When she saw that Zhu Ziqi had already passed the goal she had set, Zhu Zixin's lips curled into a smile, and she hurried over, deliberately dropping a stone.At the same time, with a sound of "Ouch" in his mouth, he fell down beside that thing.

At this moment, everyone was concentrating on finding something, so no one would pay attention to her small movements.

Hearing the voice, Zhu Ziqi turned her head and couldn't hide the gloating look in her eyes and said, "Hey, why is eldest sister so careless?"

"Hmph, don't worry about it!"

Zhu Zixin was about to get up after speaking, suddenly pointed at Zhu Ziqi's feet and said, "What is that?"

Zhu Ziqi heard the words and looked down, but it was a jade hairpin.

She took the thing in her hand, looked at it carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, it's not good!"

This sound made everyone look over in shock.

Zhu Zixin asked, "What is that?"

"Yes Yes……"

Zhu Ziqi hesitated.

"Bring it here and let me see."

Zhu Zixin stretched out his hand to grab it, but Zhu Ziqi yelled and ran to the second aunt, handed the thing to the second aunt, and said: "Mother, my daughter went to look for you yesterday, but you were already asleep, my daughter Then..."

As she spoke, Zhu Ziqi whispered into Second Auntie's ear.

Zhu Zixin didn't obstruct it either, but just watched the scene with cold eyes.

Later, she saw Zhu Ziqi put the thing in the palm of Second Auntie's hand.

The second aunt picked it up, looked at it for a while, and immediately looked at Honggu who was still confused with a pair of sharp eyes.

"Honggu, how do you explain this matter?"

Only now did Hong Gu realize that something was wrong, she looked at Second Yiniang blankly and said, "Madam, slave, what did slave do wrong?"

"Dangling" the second aunt threw the thing on the ground, and asked coldly, "Look for yourself, what is this?"

Hong Gu hurriedly picked up the thing, then she knelt on the ground with a "plop" as if she had just woken up from a dream, screaming for injustice.

"Ma'am, no servant! I didn't steal anything from here. I did come here last night, but that was just to see. I couldn't help being curious. When I got here, I didn't do anything, so I went back again." Yes! The servant really didn't take anything..."

Hong Gu was talking, tears streaming down her face, she thought to herself that she had always been loyal to her wife, she never thought that one day, her wife would suspect her of stealing things, so she was naturally very sad.Therefore, she was eager to clean herself up, but her words seemed so weak at the moment. She cried for a long time, but Second Aunt didn't even lift her eyelids.

"Did you take it? Don't you find out if you search it? Also, the servant made a mistake, and the master's presence can't get rid of it. Who knows if Honggu was instigated by others. I want to tell my father, Arrest Aunt Hong for interrogation."

After speaking, Zhu Zixin walked out of the cave.

"Tie her together and search her house."

Behind him, Second Aunt's voice came, and it sounded like a murderous aura.

Zhu Zixin couldn't help but sneered, and without stopping, he went straight to the house where Honggu lived...

With Zhu Zixin's careful design, how could Honggu have a reason to escape?

A group of people arrived at Honggu's room, and after a while, someone found a lot of jewels from under the pillow.

Seeing this, Second Auntie's eyes were straightened, but she realized in an instant that Honggu's crime had been confirmed, so she, the master, could not get rid of the responsibility, so she preemptively shouted: "Come on, come here!" This slut with unclean hands and feet will be dragged down and beaten to death by me!"
