Supreme Return

Chapter 1265
After walking for about ten minutes, Chu Xuan and his party arrived outside the lobby of Wei Mansion.

A lot of onlookers had already gathered around, pointing at Huang Chang standing inside, Wu Yuan and the two of them pointed.

But at this time, Huang Chang and Wu Yuan were extremely angry. They were not good at words, but now they just kept shaking their heads and saying that they didn't have it, that they were wronged, etc. discourse.

"How did two such beautiful little girls become thieves?"

"Hey, don't you still understand? The more well-dressed and good-looking you are, the less likely you are to arouse others' suspicion!"

"I've heard that there are thieves in our imperial capital these days, and they went to steal the expensive things from the jewelry store, but they haven't been caught! This time, I heard that they were stolen by others. Otherwise, how could they be caught?" Captured here in the Wei Mansion?"

"That's right, I was watching from the sidelines! What they stole were a few strings of pearl necklaces, and rings from several famous masters! Tsk tsk... counting, it's worth as much as 10 taels of gold!"

"I didn't expect such a beautiful girl to be so ruthless! Fortunately, I was caught, otherwise I don't know how much I would have been stolen."

"Counting the several thefts that happened a while ago, the total may have exceeded 30 taels of gold!"

... There were many voices from the surrounding crowd, which made Chu Xuan and the others frown.

"Master, why don't I go and talk to Lord Li?" Zhao Quan said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, let's talk about it later!"

Chu Xuan signaled him not to act rashly.

"Master!"

Qisha also came over.

"What's going on?" Chu Xuan asked calmly through voice transmission.

There are too many people here, even if you speak in a low voice, you can't guarantee that you won't be heard by others.

"After Miss went out, she went to Miss Wu first! They planned to go shopping with Miss Wang and Miss Liu, but when they passed by the Sapphire Jewelry Store, they were surrounded by many publicists. They saw nice pearl necklaces and I plan to buy some jewelry later!"

"But when I gave the money and was about to leave, the staff caught me and said they stole something, and several people around me came together and blocked all the paths of Miss and Miss Wu!"

"Originally, the lady had already given the money, but the guy didn't admit it at all!"

"After making a fuss, the shopkeeper of the Qingyu Jewelry Shop reported it to the officer and sent it here! The others were also sent here as witnesses!"

Qisha briefly explained the process.

It sounded full of loopholes, after all, the money was really given, and there must have been other people present at the time, but those people all said in unison that Huang Chang and Wu Yuan were thieves.

In this way, as long as the money is denied, the origin of the jewelry on their bodies will not be clear. In addition, there have been several thefts in the past few days. I am afraid that many people will follow others and plant these crimes on Huang Chang and Wu Yuan's head.

They didn't have any favorable evidence at all, even if they said that they gave the money, what's the use of the guy denying it?

On the contrary, they got the stolen goods together, which became unavoidable evidence!

"Sapphire Jewelry is the property of Qinglin Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Chu Xuan squinted his eyes and asked.

"Yes!"

Seven kills nodded, "So I suspect that this must be a trap set by the Sapphire Jewelry Shop!"

"Don't doubt it, it's absolutely true!"

Chu Xuan's eyes flickered coldly, and he said coldly, "What a Yao family and Han family! Unexpectedly, they would take the first step!"

"Yao Lin and Yao Lan discussed that night and planned to arrest people directly. I never thought that it would be like this, and it would be so wrongly framed during the day!" Seven Kills also said bitterly.

"This is also a mistake in our estimation. They are planning to use the power of the government!"

Chu Xuan sneered.

"Master, what should I do? The current situation is extremely unfavorable to Miss!" Zhao Quan said in a deep voice.

"Let's look again!"

Chu Xuan stopped talking, and paid close attention to the situation in the front hall of the Wei Mansion.

Not long after, Lord Li Chang came out wearing a third-rank official uniform, and the servants on both sides stood solemnly.

"Who is the plaintiff?" Li Chang asked, looking around at the crowd.

"It's a villain, my lord!"

A man dressed as the shopkeeper came out, bowed deeply and said, "My lord, Yao Peng, the villain, is the shopkeeper of Qingyu Jewelry Shop!"

"Then who are you suing? What is the reason?" Li Chang asked again.

"The villain sued these two female thieves for stealing 17 gold from my jewelry store in broad daylight. Now that they have stolen all the stolen goods, I ask your lord to uphold justice!"

Yao Peng replied respectfully.

"17 gold? Where are the stolen goods now? Present them to me!" Li Chang's complexion changed.

"Yes!"

Yao Peng responded, and handed over the two strings of pearl necklaces he had prepared and the rings from several famous artists to the yamen servant, and the yamen servant respectfully handed these things to Li Chang.

"Sure enough, it's worth a lot!"

Li Chang inspected them one by one, then turned to look at Huang Chang and Wu Yuan, and said with a gloomy expression, "What do you two have to say now?"

"We paid for these things! How about stealing?"

Huang Chang snorted coldly.

"Bought it with money? What evidence do you have?" Li Chang asked rhetorically.

"All the money has been taken away, what else can we say?"

Huang Chang snorted again.

"So, you have no proof?"

Li Chang slapped the gavel suddenly, and shouted, "I will ask you again, what are your surnames? Why do you want to steal these precious things?"

"My lord is favoring them!"

Wu Yuan said lightly, "Excuse me, my lord, what evidence is there for us to steal? Is it possible to rely on their words?"

"What a sharp-tongued and sharp-mouthed person! Alright, today I will convince you all!"

A flash of anger flashed in Li Chang's eyes, and he shouted, "Come here, bring witnesses!"

Soon, several witnesses were brought into the hall, and Li Chang immediately asked, "As witnesses, you need to know that heaven and earth are fair! Your words must be based on facts, and there must be no falsehood!"

"Yes, my lord!" Several people responded respectfully.

"Do you know these two girls?" Li Chang asked, pointing to Huang Chang and Wu Yuan.

"know!"

Several people nodded at the same time, and immediately spoke one by one during Li Chang's interrogation.

The general idea is that they were standing next to Huang Chang and Wu Yuan at that time, watching them avoid the eyes of many people when the buddy was not paying attention, and took away the jewelry inside. Fortunately, when they were about to leave, the buddy When he found something wrong, he caught it, and then the shopkeeper walked out from the inside, and then brought the two girls to the lobby of Weifu.

These words immediately caused many onlookers outside to point at the two women again, expressing their anger and contempt towards them.

how to say?

Anyway, what these witnesses said was sincere, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes, which made Huang Chang and Wu Yuan very angry, and their pretty faces were full of anger.

"Nonsense! You are talking nonsense!"

Huang Chang glared at them angrily.

"Shang'er, don't be angry! It seems that we have fallen into someone else's trap!"

Wu Yuan seemed extremely calm.

"Bold thief, now the stolen goods have been stolen, and the facts are all there! What else can you say? Tell us quickly and honestly!"

After all the witnesses had finished speaking, Li Chang suddenly slapped the gavel and shouted at the two women.

"My lord, don't you think it's a coincidence?"

Wu Yuan glanced at the third-rank official, and said with a sneer, "If we really want to steal something, will we choose the daytime when there are so many eyes staring at us?"

"Perhaps, you just think that there are too many people, so you can do it!" Said Yao Peng, the plaintiff next to him, the shopkeeper of Qingyu Jewelry Store.

"Not bad!"

Li Chang nodded, and said in a cold voice, "You little thieves, how dare you steal such a valuable thing, and you don't know how to repent when the facts are all there, and forcefully argue! Could it be that you think that this official, the hall of the Weifu, is Is it fake? Are the laws of my empire fake?"

"They're true, but I'm afraid your eyes, my lord, will have to see them!"

Huang Chang then said.

"Bold! How dare you despise this official, the crime will be aggravated! Come on..."

Li Chang suddenly slapped the gavel.

"exist!"

"Take these two people down, and I will try them together after I find out where the rest of the stolen goods are hidden!"

"Yes!"

While speaking, those yamen servants wanted to step forward, but at this moment, a voice sounded, "Stop!"

"Bold! Who dares to shout at the court?" Li Chang's complexion changed, and he shouted immediately.

A person walked out from the crowd outside, it was the prince Zhao Ran who came here in disguise after listening to Chu Xuan's words.

There are only two guards beside him, and of course they are also in micro-clothes.

"Master Li, can you please say a few words?"

Zhao Ran walked into the hall, clasped his fists and said.

"Master Zhao, what do you mean by this?"

Li Chang walked down from his seat, cupped his fists, and said with a frown, "This case is well-documented, Mr. Zhao thinks there is something missing?"

"I just went out for a casual walk. I heard that the bandit leader of the big theft case had been captured, so I came here to take a look, but I felt that there was another mystery in this case. I wonder if Mr. Li can let me ask these witnesses a few words?" Zhao Ran said. .

"Bold, this is the hall of Wei Mansion, you..."

Before Li Chang could answer, the yamen servant over there gave an angry reprimand.After all, with this person's identity, it is absolutely impossible to meet the prince.

"Shut up!"

Li Chang scolded the servant, and then said to Zhao Ran, "Since Mr. Zhao wants to ask, please do so!"

"Thank you sir!"

Zhao Ran nodded, walked slowly in front of the witnesses, glanced at them from left to right, his face was full of sarcasm, "Liu San'er, 41 years old, lives in Xicheng, and works as a hawker on weekdays. For a living, I wonder if what I said is right?"

"Yes Yes!"

With Li Chang's attitude towards Zhao Ran, this Li San'er knew he was not a mortal, especially under Zhao Ran's gaze, his forehead was sweating a little.

"Wang Da, 27 years old, lives in Xicheng..."

"... Living in the West City..."

"... Living in the West City..."

After several witnesses, Zhao Ran not only mentioned their names, ages, but also briefly mentioned their home addresses and daily life. The only similarity surprised everyone present, because these witnesses all Live in Dongcheng, and they are all small traders.

You know, the sapphire jewelry store is in the east city, and the imperial capital is huge, so it takes at least an hour to walk from the west to the sapphire jewelry store in the east city.

Moreover, they are all small traders, how could they gather here together?
The most important thing is that they don't have the kind of financial resources to spend in the sapphire jewelry store...
