After time travel, I became a talented lady
Chapter 30 Catching a Thief
Mr. Cheng took the housekeeper back to the house and went directly to the warehouse.
He asked the butler to guard the door, took the key and unlocked it himself. Only the head of the house has the key to the warehouse.
The Cheng family's inner warehouse contains valuable old objects that have been in storage for many years, most of which were handed down from ancestors. All the ornaments and toys in the warehouse are registered one by one, and the time and reason for their storage are clearly marked on the books.
Mr. Cheng picked up the booklet. Logically speaking, the booklet should be embedded on the wall of the warehouse. At this time, it was placed on the table. The last time these items were taken out to decorate the facade was when Erlang got married. The next time was when he passed his fiftieth birthday.
Old Mrs. Cheng was heartbroken and went through the accounts one by one. The couple was so angry that they were about to explode. Three ornaments were missing, and a famous painting was missing.
This traitor is really rampant! That famous painting was given to me by my great-grandfather when he was the imperial censor Zhongcheng. He always loved it like a treasure and passed it down to him. My late father also earnestly warned me to treasure it carefully. When my younger brother is in high school, he will get rid of the smell of copper and revive his life. The lintel must be hung in the ancestral hall to comfort the ancestors.
The old man was so angry that he locked the door calmly and walked to Yi'an Courtyard.
In the Yi'an Courtyard, the old lady was sitting with Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "There is a county captain's uncle named Gao Heng. He said that he took one look at us Ruyi on the street and fell in love with us. I’m going to visit you.”
"But my careless one told me that Uncle Gao was lecherous and obscene. He fooled around all day instead of doing anything serious. He had a look of disgust on his face."
"That day on the street, I went to Tao Ranju to buy cakes, and I happened to meet him. I saw that he was gentle and good-looking, and he treated me very dignified and polite. I thought he was a very good young man."
The old lady couldn't help but be confused when she thought of her dandy Uncle Gao. She looked at Aunt Zhang as if she was as happy as if she had a rich husband, and thought about how to tell her the truth tactfully.
The old man listened outside the door for a while, and Luzhu was about to lift the curtain to report, but the old man stopped him quickly. He didn't want to disturb more people, so he asked Luzhu to think of a way to call Nanny Xiang. Luzhu saw the old man's cold eyebrows and did not dare to Thinking too much, he opened the curtain and entered the door.
The old lady heard Luzhu say, old lady, the eldest lady said that the winter months will be here the day after tomorrow. She has not yet made a decision on some things, so she wants to ask her grandma to help her with her eyes.
The old lady responded with a smile. When Nanny Xiang went out, she met the old lady's cold eyes. The old lady didn't say anything and asked the servant beside her to lead Nanny Xiang away. Luzhu didn't dare to say anything when she saw it, and she retreated cutely.
Grandma Xiang's heart dropped, she didn't know why the old man was so angry, but she did nothing wrong and was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, so she followed the old man to the front yard without asking.
The old lady sat on the main seat with great dignity, pointed at the box and said to Aunt Xiang, "Aunt Xiang, come here and take a look at this."
Grandma Xiang didn't know what was going on, so she stepped forward and opened the box. She saw that the white jade Guanyin was so lifelike. She felt relieved and said with a smile, "Old man, you scared me. This white jade Guanyin is not from the warehouse. When you come back one day, the eldest lady said that the furnishings in your study room in the outer courtyard are old and need to be renovated. I asked the old lady for the key. I saw the eldest lady registering the book and taking it out. Why are you moving here? ?”
Mr. Cheng didn't answer and shouted in a deep voice, "Are you really led by the eldest lady?"
Grandma Xiang's heart skipped a beat. Not daring to laugh, he frowned, thought carefully, and said respectfully, "Old Master, I remember that day when the eldest lady received the key. Later, I also went to your study to see it. The person in charge of the study, Lao Lin, also confirmed that it should be That's right, but the eldest lady's key was not returned that day. It was the eldest uncle who sent a letter, saying that it was late and would be returned early tomorrow morning, but the old lady didn't take it to heart. "
Mr. Cheng contacted Cheng Decai about the expenses in the outer courtyard's account. He also thought that he had always been unruly, eating, drinking, and having sex, and was guilty of all the four vices. He was even more angry. He had always been strict with the housekeeper, and he did his best for his children. He invited a husband and sent him to private school. , asked someone to find connections and sent them to a prestigious academy, but the three sons really did not live up to expectations! Dalang is really muddy and can't hold up the wall, Erlang is not clean now, and Sanlang looks like that now! Could it be that this businessman's money scheme caused them to destroy the literati who had been passed down from generation to generation? !
Instead of sending someone to call the eldest lady to confront him, he directly called the young man to Tingtao Yuan to tie up the uncle.
A group of people rushed to Tingtao Courtyard angrily. The woman who was guarding the second door saw that the leader was the servant that the master used to use. She saw that he had no expression on his face, and a group of servants under him were also holding ropes and looked serious, so they didn't dare to After talking, he was led into the second door diligently.
The eldest lady came over after hearing the news and asked doubtfully, "What happened? Are you so angry that you came to our courtyard?"
The young man replied, "Madam, the old man has ordered me to tie him up and go to the front yard."
The eldest lady was horrified and asked quickly, "What happened? Are you going to tie up the uncle? How did the uncle offend the old lady?"
She secretly thought to herself that it might have something to do with him asking for money all day long. She thought about it in her mind, thinking that the uncle got involved in gambling and lost money. Otherwise, why would he be so desperate for money? He usually only eats, drinks and whores, and keeps accounts in the outer courtyard. Her father-in-law also turned a blind eye and usually wouldn't care about him. This time it seemed that he had made a big mistake, so she felt relieved.
The young man replied, "Madam, I don't even know, but I know that the old man was angry and ordered him to be tied up immediately and questioned."
Fu Lu caught the attention of the eldest lady and took the boy straight to Aunt Yue's Yueyingxuan. As a result, a group of people rushed to Yueyingxuan, but the uncle was nowhere to be seen. Aunt Yue held on to the railing and said delicately, " The uncle went out after dinner, and I don’t even know about it~"
After hearing this, all the boys softened up and hurriedly comforted Aunt Yue softly. They had disturbed Aunt Yue, so she left now.
Fulu...
This little bitch is still able to make eye contact with a young boy at this time. She is convinced.
A group of people walked through the garden and went to the Sandalwood Courtyard to ask questions. As soon as they turned around the rockery, they saw the uncle lying on the ground!
With Dai Hua's stocky girl on top of her, I felt pity for the weak cousin girl, holding a branch in one hand and slapping the uncle's fat face hard!
If you listen carefully, you can still hear the cousin's scolding, "I'm so blind that you dare to take my idea. I'll beat you to death!"
There was also the uncle’s humble plea: “My aunt, please spare my life, I don’t dare to do it anymore…”
All the boys...
Fulu...
Cousin girl...
chrysanthemum……
Cheng Decai...
After a while of embarrassment, the cousin weakly supported the chrysanthemums and walked away, sighing to the flowers, "When the flowers wither, the flowers fly all over the sky, and when the red flowers fade away, who will pity them?"
The uncle quickly got up from the ground, not caring about the shoe prints on his face, patted the dirt on his body, and said in a pretentious manner, "This little girl is teasing me!
……
Fu Lu stared at the sky and pretended not to see it. The leading boy also pretended that nothing had happened. He stepped forward respectfully and said, "Master, I have been ordered by the old man to tie you up and take you to the front yard. I'm sorry. !”
After saying that, he waved his hand and without waiting for the uncle's reaction, a group of boys came up and tied her up tightly. The old man rolled his eyes and made his stomach become more prominent, like a pregnant woman who was six months pregnant.
When the old man came back to his senses, he was already being tied up like a pig and being lifted up by two boys on a pole. The old man was so angry that he yelled, "You are so impudent. You blind slaves dare to tie me up. You are crazy." Is it a success?!”
It is unbelievable that in broad daylight, the servants dared to tie up the master!
The old man was still roaring, "You bastards, you've gone against the grain, I think you've got the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard!"
The leading young man threatened the old man with good words, "Sir, the old man got angry for some reason. He put a whip in the front yard and said he wanted to punish you. I am also following orders, otherwise I will take advantage of the courage of a hundred dogs. I don’t dare to tie you up, think about it, have you done anything wrong recently?”
When Cheng Decai heard this, he swallowed the curse that rolled to his lips and was shocked. Could he have been discovered?
It was over now, and when I thought of the old man, the flesh on my body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Shen Ruyi and Juhua stood aside, watching Cheng Decai being carried away like a pig, and they were secretly happy. Juhua was even more gloating, "It seems that the uncle has made a big mistake, hahaha, you have to hit him hard." Just pause."
A group of people walked to the front yard. The old man was stunned when he saw the old man being tied up. He just got angry and said, "Tie them here." These slaves really won his heart!
The old man signaled the young man to untie the rope. When the old man untied the rope, snot and tears came out automatically. He rolled on the ground and crawled over, hugging the old man's legs and crying: "Dad, I was wronged. I have nothing to do." I know……"
The old man kicked the uncle away, pointed at the white jade Guanyin on the table, and sneered, "You are not asking yourself, when did you steal this white jade Guanyin?!"
The old man lay on the ground and did not dare to make a sound. The old man slapped the table with a "bang" sound, and the old man also shook.
"Come here, bring me the whip, I think your skin is itchy!" God sneered.
The uncle was really scared, so he crawled over again, kowtowed and said, "Dad, I said, I said, I went to your study at night and stole it when no one was around."
"What did the warehouse say? Huh?" The old man came over and stepped on the old man's head. "You have ruined all the things passed down by our ancestors. I won't talk about the jewelry and antiques. Where did the painting go?" !”
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, the uncle cried, "Dad, I was obsessed with money and only dared to steal it. The painting is still in my room. I took the key from my wife and secretly found someone to match it. Dad, I was wrong, please forgive me once..."
Old Mrs. Cheng was relieved when he heard that the painting had not been sold yet and was still in the house. Seeing the uncle like this, he waved his hand and the boy came up with a whip.
"The family has never been short of your money. You also spent a lot of money in the outer courtyard's account. Apart from prostitution and drinking, where else did you spend the money? Are you addicted to gambling?" the old man asked with a frown. .
Cheng Decai kept screaming and said honestly, "Dad, I was wrong. I was fooled by them. They teamed up to trick me. I owed money to Holiland Casino. They made compound profits. I I couldn't afford to pay it back, and I was afraid that you would beat me if you found out, so I secretly sold those items. Dad, I will never dare to do it again..."
After hearing this, Mr. Cheng slapped Cheng Decai on the face again, "You are tired of living. Well, our ancestors have taught us not to engage in gambling. I have repeatedly stressed to you that I don't care what you do, but you must not engage in gambling. You Are you deaf?! Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?! Hmm!"
When Cheng Decai saw the old man whipping his whip again, he was so frightened that he got up and was about to run away. When the old man whipped him, he fell to the ground. Cheng Decai howled like a ghost and cried, "Dad, why do you just beat me? I stole the property from my ancestors." The things are not fake, but why don’t you care about your second brother keeping a prostitute? Ouch!”
Mr. Cheng paused for a moment, then got even angrier, "You have learned all the Analects of Confucius like a dog, and if you don't set an example for your elder brother, how can your younger brother support you, and how can you get this family business?" prosper!"
He whipped him a few more times, leaving blood marks on the uncle's clothes. "Dad, stop beating me. I promise I won't dare to do it again, dad~"
The old man was still angry and ordered someone to bring a stick. The young man held down the old man, and the old man started to beat him.
The old man cried and begged for mercy at first, but then the crying became quieter. When the butler saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop the old man and said, "Old man, you can't hit me any more. If you hit me again, your leg will be useless, but you can't hit me again!" "
Mr. Cheng still felt that it was not enough and wanted to beat him again. "It's just right if his leg is broken. He can't steal or gamble anymore. I want him to have a good memory!"
At this time, the eldest lady came with the old lady's arm, and Old Mrs. Cheng couldn't stop seeing her.
The eldest lady wiped her tears and said, "Dad, I know that the uncle has done something wrong and should not forgive him easily, but if he is beaten and his legs are disabled, what will Sister Xin do? She will have to talk to her husband's family and Brother Hao in the future. , we can’t meet the in-laws, so we have to carry the uncle away?”
Old Mrs. Cheng slapped his hands and said angrily, "If you don't break his legs, will Sister Xin be able to find a good husband through him in the future?!"
The old lady advised from the side, "Okay, if you need to fight, you should fight. If you fight again, someone will really die. My sister will only keep this son. Master, please don't fight."
After hearing this, Mr. Cheng stopped his hand. Seeing that Cheng Decai's butt was bloody and bloody, he stopped. He spat at Cheng Decai and said, "Before she died, your mother hoped that I would treat you well. She hoped that I would treat you well." You are promising, this is how you repay her! You are so shameless!"
Cheng Decai's face was dirty, he was grabbing the ground with his head, still sobbing, "Dad, stop fighting, Dad, I was wrong... Dad, I don't dare anymore..."
The eldest lady hurriedly called the servant and carried the uncle back. Old Mrs. Cheng looked at the eldest lady and said guiltily, "Daughter-in-law, the elder has been messing around for so many years and is not doing his job properly. I came to ask you to marry him back then, thinking of you." She's an official's daughter. It would be nice if you could give him some advice. I don't want him to be stuck on the wall and delay you." He paused.
"From now on, you will be in charge of all money expenditures in Tingtao Courtyard. If the uncle wants to use money, just refute it. If he doesn't listen, just come to me! Add a use case of yours."
After hearing this, the eldest lady burst into tears. Yingying thanked her father-in-law and went back with her people.
