Young wife Li, she won again

Chapter 140 Suspect Stealing Axe
Those people did not rush in immediately, but were discussing in whispers outside.

Taking advantage of this time, the two girls hurriedly got up and got dressed.

To be on the safe side, Su Qingyue still dressed as a man.

Dai Rong's ears were sharp, and while he was busy working, he listened to the movement outside.

"Sister, don't worry, they are not bandits, but villagers from a nearby town. They seem to have lost something, so they found it overnight." Dai Rong said.

"Really." Su Qingyue opened the window and looked out.

A dozen men, all standing outside the wall with torches in their hands, seemed to have made up their minds, and someone approached and knocked on the door.

The king yelled twice, and the outside suddenly became quiet again.

"Who is it?" Dai Rong said fiercely.

"Don't worry, we are from a nearby town, not bandits. If the shopkeeper is convenient, please come out!" the other party said.

Su Qingyue asked Dai Rong to stay, fastened the buttons around her neck, and Shi Shiran walked out.

Seeing this, the king hurried over and squatted at her feet.

"What's the matter?" Su Qingyue asked.

"The Chen residence has been stolen frequently recently, the master asked us to catch the thieves!" said the other party.

"Why did the thief come to our house?"

"The thieves ran fast and disappeared when they got nearby. We searched around, and there was only one family in a radius of two or three miles, so come here and ask if you have found any suspicious people." They looked at Su Qingyue suspiciously.

"I didn't see any suspicious people. We are the only two brothers and sisters in the family. We were woken up by you just now, and we didn't know what happened." Su Qingyue said.

Whoever is innocently suspected of being a thief is not happy.

Although these people did not break in blatantly, their words and expressions made people very uncomfortable.

"We are from Xixiang Township, which is very close to here. I remember that this house used to be lived by a blacksmith surnamed Liu."

"We bought the house two months ago. If you can produce evidence, you can go to the police. If you can't, it's best not to make noise nearby, so as not to affect our rest. Have you seen this vicious dog? ? It went crazy, but its relatives don't recognize it, if someone who doesn't know how to get into the yard by mistake, it will be at your own risk."

Although she looks gentle and weak, her words are not polite at all.

A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to answer.

After Su Qingyue finished speaking, she turned and went back to the room.

The king squatted at the door, howling grievously at the moon in the sky.

Although Dai Rong was inside the house, he could hear the movement outside clearly.

"Sister, those people don't want to believe it, and even discuss to sneak in to search! It's just too disgusting." She said angrily.

"It's just the people nearby. With the king around, they don't dare to trespass." Su Qingyue said.

"They are clearly bullying us foreigners!"

"Don't worry about it, take a good rest, and you have to go on the road tomorrow."

Under Su Qingyue's comfort, Dai Rong lay back on the bed again.

At first, I could still hear the low-pitched discussions of those people, but gradually it quieted down, and there was no sound at all.

In the early morning of the next day, Dai Rong went to feed the horses and harness the cart, preparing to leave Xixiang.

It's remote here, and it's not easy to turn the house outside.In addition, I didn't spend a lot of money when I bought it, so it was simply empty, just enough for people who came and went nearby to rest.

When Su Qingyue was having breakfast, Dai Rong walked in angrily.

"Sister, someone is guarding nearby, secretly spying on us! It must be the group of people last night, they thought we stole the things!"

Su Qingyue smiled and ignored it.

After they packed up their things and went out, the carriage got out when they were stopped.

It was a red-faced man in his 40s with a fierce look.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"No matter your business, get out of the way!" Dai Rong shouted.

"If you don't hand over the things, no one is allowed to leave!"

"The ghost knows whether you lost something, or came out on purpose to blackmail people?"

She wanted to ride the horse and raise the whip, but the other party held the rein tightly and refused to let go.

The king couldn't hold back when he heard the commotion, if Su Qingyue hadn't stopped him, he would have jumped out of the carriage to watch the excitement.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, several people ran over from the direction of the town.

They pulled away the red-faced man and politely questioned Dai Rong.

"Who is sitting in the girl's car?"

"My brother, what do you guys want to do? You don't report to the police when you lose something, but here you suspect someone stealing an axe, guessing wildly, it's really annoying!"

"Master wants to invite you over, please do me a favor!" said the visitor.

"No time, we still have to hurry." Dai Rong refused.

The opponent lined up, blocking the way, and didn't seem to give way.

Dai Rong was about to reprimand, but he heard a voice from the carriage.

"Arong, since the other party invited us, let's go and have a look." Su Qingyue said.

"Mr. is an open-minded person!" The other party boasted.

Dai Rong had no choice but to drive to the small town.

The Chen Mansion is the largest portal in Xi Township, with many families and rich fields, and there are thirty or forty servants just doing things.

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Su Qingyue and Dai Rong went down, and the carriage was temporarily handed over to the gatekeeper.

After entering the door, they saw Mr. Chen.

In his 60s, he was born with a benevolent look, bright and wise eyes, and looks very energetic.

He glanced over the two of them, his eyes stayed on Su Qingyue, and he forced a smile.

The two sides introduced each other, and he invited people to sit down and drink tea.

"Mr. Su, I'm sorry to disturb Person C. It's not that we are bullying others, but that the house has indeed lost important items, and this place is remote and there is no police station, so I invite the two of you to come to the house to explain." Master Chen said politely. .

"What's missing?" Su Qingyue asked.

"My daughter's dowry, a night pearl." Master Chen said.

"So that's it, Ah Rong, go and get our package." Su Qingyue said.

Dai Rong immediately understood, trotted out, and put the burden on the table after a while.

"What's the meaning of Mr. Su?" Master Chen pretended to be puzzled.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to take the initiative to be honest, but to let Mr. Chen gain insight. A Rong, open it!" Su Qingyue said.

Dai Rong quickly opened the bag, and the whole living room lit up immediately!

In the package, there are all treasures obtained from Guidan: there are white jade and jade flat squares, Biyao Yao kits, cat's eye stone flowers, Western-style gold watches...

Step shakes, head flowers, jewelry, jade pendants, everything is available, and everything is an impeccable boutique!
Although some of these things are old, their brilliance is still undiminished, and they are priceless treasures at first glance!

Master Chen opened his mouth wide in shock, but couldn't say a word.

"Ye Mingzhu, I seem to have one too." Su Qingyue said slowly.

She dug out a rosewood box inlaid with gold from those objects, and took out a white bead the size of an egg.

"Master Chen, the one you lost is like this?" She asked with a crooked smile.
