The Royal’s Little Lady Chapter 35: The government investigates the case, and Yingying makes a show
Since then, various kinds of candied haws have been produced. Not to mention those who sell candied haws, some thoughtful people who have never sold candied haws have also started to imitate them.
In just a few days, the streets and alleys were full of people selling candied haws of apples, which meant that the candied haws of apples were hardly sold.
The people at Duck Village had been warned by Chu Yingying, and they only needed to sell for a day or two.
But some people don’t listen.
I made a lot of money in the past two days, how could I just give up after saving it?
No, two families made thirty or forty skewers and carried them out early in the morning to sell.
But it’s already noon, and there’s still more than half left!
On this day, I can’t hold the candied haws at all!
The man could only carry it back and feed it to his children to save waste.
“Oh, what a bad luck, they’re all for sale!”
"Yes, yes, if I had known earlier, I should have listened to Yingying and said not to sell it. Look at this little candied haws, you still have to pay some money!"
The two were talking when an official passed by and stopped them.
"Do you know how to get to Chu Yingying's house?"
The two people were stunned, and one of them pointed the way stupidly.
After the official left, the two men came to their senses and hurriedly chased after them.
"You think Yingying won't commit any crime, right? Didn't you say that she saved the county magistrate's daughter?"
"Who says it's not the case? Come on, let's see if we can help!"
"But that's the government! If Chu Yingying really commits a crime, how can we help?"
"Are you talking humanly? Thanks to Yingying, which one of us has made a lot of money? No matter what, follow me and see if you can help!"
"...Okay."
The two people rushed over and saw many people gathered around the door. The official seemed to be looking for something inside.
One of them asked: "Hey, what's going on?"
Ms. Liu glanced at him and said bitterly: "The thank-you gift that the county magistrate sent to Yingying contains some valuable medicinal materials. It was lost! Yingying went to tell the county magistrate!"
"Damn it, nothing has ever been lost in our Duck Village! There is a thief in this village, what should we do?"
Ms. Liu is really worried.
Not just for Chu Yingying.
The folk customs of this duck village are quite good. It’s not as if they don’t close their doors at night, but there really hasn’t been any incidents of things being lost.
So, these guys are paying attention.
You even dare to steal things given by the county magistrate, let alone things at home?
"What, you lost something? I was scared to death. I thought it was Yingying who had done something wrong!"
"Bah!"
Ms. Liu spat out a big mouthful of thick phlegm and glared at him with an unhappy look on her face: "What are you talking about? How could such a good child like Yingying commit any crime? Who are you cursing? Hurry up! Two mouthfuls!"
This Mrs. Liu feels most sorry for her little grandson.
Since what happened last night, Mrs. Liu has become a loyal supporter of Chu Yingying!
The man wasn't upset at all, he actually said "poof" twice!
Inside the room, Capt. Liu took the thank-you gift list given by Mr. Si and went through it, and found that something was indeed missing!
"Miss Yingying, I have lost a box of ginseng, and... all these things are worth a small five hundred taels."
Not to mention anything else, just that box of ginseng costs two to three hundred taels!
Chu Yingying was stunned for a moment, then asked in a confused tone: "If we find the person who stole five hundred taels of things in total, what will be the punishment?"
Captain Liu was a little confused as to why the other party suddenly asked this, but after being instructed by the county magistrate, he answered honestly: "In addition to compensation, I still need twenty boards!"
Added another sentence, "This must be under the premise that the other party will not pursue the case."
Chu Yingying's big eyes were suddenly filled with water, shining but pitiful. She said in a panic: "Then I won't investigate anymore. I'm sorry, Capt. Liu is troubling you. Really?" Sorry..."
She was obviously flustered, looking ashamed and panicked.
There must be something going on!
Liu Captou's eyes flashed and he asked her seriously: "Miss Yingying, did you guess who stole the thing?"
Chu Yingying was startled and took a step back, tears streaming down her face, her big eyes filled with fear.
Chu Fenfen felt extremely distressed when she saw her. She held her sister's hand and kept comforting her.
"I, I don't know, I really don't know. Don't ask me, I won't pursue it, I don't want to investigate, okay? Please!"
Chu Yingying's attitude changed so quickly that not only Liu Captou, but also the surrounding villagers noticed something was wrong.
Someone suddenly said: "This Yingying seems to know who stole it, and she helped hide it!"
"Yingying, the thief in this village is not your fault alone! You can't hide it!"
"That's right, how can you hide something like this!"
Grandma Liu scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, who has lost something and doesn't want to catch the thief!"
"Yes, that's five hundred taels of silver! If it were me, I would have to catch him!"
As he spoke, the man suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he suddenly thought of something: "...I remembered it. Yesterday, I remembered that Mrs. Chu asked Fenfen to wash her clothes, and asked Xiaohu to take her away. Xiaotian, there was no one at home at that time!"
Chu Yingying was delighted: Which aunt and sister-in-law is this? She is so smart!
That’s what she was thinking ~IndoMTL.com~ But her face became even more evasive, hiding behind Chu Fenfen, and kept saying: "I won’t investigate anymore, I don’t want to investigate anymore."
The rest said nothing.
It didn’t admit it, but it didn’t deny it either!
Everyone understood it and immediately started shouting.
Captain Liu also spoke, "Miss Yingying, this is something that Mr. Si gave you. It was lost in such an unclear way. I can't explain it when I go back. So I have to investigate this matter. Clear!"
After saying that, Capt. Liu went out and knocked on the door next door!
Chu Wang and others are pretending to be dead as always!
But this time the trick didn't work. Liu Captou kicked the door open!
There was no way, Chu Yingying smashed the door, and they couldn't find a new door to install for a while, so they had to use wooden boards to prop it up.
Why don't you just get kicked away?
"Sir, what are you doing?"
Chu Dadi is at home today, but he regrets very much, why didn’t he go to the ground today!
Captain Liu had a poker face and said coldly: "There are several valuable things missing from the things the magistrate gave to Miss Yingying. Based on what happened yesterday, we suspect that you stole them!"
"My lord, you are wronged! This Yingying is my granddaughter, why should I steal her things?"
"This is what I want to ask you too."
One sentence choked Chu Dadi.
Chu Dadi's eyes flashed and he called Chu Yingying: "Yingying, tell this adult quickly that the loss of your things has nothing to do with us."
Chu Yingying cursed secretly in her heart: What a despicable old man! But the play was already being sung, how could she end it so abruptly?
Wouldn’t I be sorry if I didn’t give you an unforgettable drama?
