20demayo Chapter 175 Stolen
Chapter 175 Stolen
Shen Qianning wanted to go home in a hurry today. It happened that the child was going to take a nap, so he could go back with the child.
There were many things in Qucheng that were not available in the county town, and Shen Qianning bought some.
It was almost dark when we returned to the county seat, and Shen Qianning went to the academy.
The three brothers of the Xiao family were particularly happy to hear that someone picked them up.
He ran out immediately.
Many children in the village were studying in the academy. Shen Qianning would greet one of them and get on the carriage.
After Xiao Yuanjiang and Xiao Yuanshan also came out, the carriage was already full of children, and they drove the carriage out of the city before the city gate closed.
Xiao Xiyue felt that he had not seen Shen Qianning for a long time. He was talking to Shen Qianning about what happened in the academy along the way.
"Mom, bullying of classmates no longer happens in school. Magistrate Meng said we should love each other and be the best classmates. Now classmates are all friendly to each other."
Xiao Nanchuan answered: "Yes, yes! Sir asked us to take care of each other and love each other. The academy is very good now and feels very warm."
The children on the carriage happily shared the affairs of the academy with Shen Qianning.
There were too many children in the village and not all were picked up.
Those children who were not picked up will not be able to come back until tomorrow.
"How many days can I rest this time?"
Shen Qianning planned to spend some time with her children these days.
Xiao Dongchen became much calmer and said to Gu Qingying: "This time I have four days of rest and can only play at home for three days. Mom, have you encountered any trouble at home recently?"
What the three brothers were most worried about in the academy was that Shen Qianning would be in trouble.
Shen Qianning thought of what she had encountered during this period and said softly: "There is no trouble. Just study hard in the academy. Don't worry about everything at home. Mom can handle it."
Back in the village, the other children had returned home.
Shen Qianning also brought Xiao Dongchen's three brothers into the house.
As soon as she entered the house, Shen Qianning realized something was wrong.
"I've been thieves!"
Shen Qianning remembered clearly that when she left yesterday, the door to her home was closed.
So last night she was not at home and the thief was worried about her.
Quickly ask Xiao Dongchen to call Uncle Xiao over.
Soon, Uncle Xiao and Qiu Shui came.
Uncle Xiao was very worried. As soon as he entered the yard, he asked, "Qian Ning, I heard Dong Chen said he was robbed?"
Shen Qianning hadn't entered the house yet, so she pointed at the door and said, "I closed the door when I left. Did I hear any different noises last night?"
She said already entering the house.
The house was very messy and had been turned upside down. When I walked to the back door, I saw that the back door was still open.
She went to the back room, which was also in a mess.
Uncle Xiao blamed himself: "It's all my fault for not taking good care of your home."
When Shen Qianning left, she asked him to help take care of her house, but it was robbed just one night.
"Did you throw anything valuable away?" Uncle Xiao looked at Shen Qianning worriedly.
Shen Qianning said: "The things the emperor rewarded are definitely not lost. I put them in a safe place."
After saying that, I went to look through the cabinet, only to lose a set of better clothes.
After all, the most valuable things in your home are in space.
"I lost a very good piece of clothing, but the rest seems to be intact."
The children's better clothes are taken to the academy.
I went to the kitchen and found that the rice in the rice vat had been stolen, about ten kilograms.
"The rice was also stolen, about ten kilograms. The thief must be from the village."
Shen Qianning said with certainty, after all, she was not here last night.
The other party obviously made sure that she would not commit theft.
And the only people who knew about her absence were the villagers.
Uncle Xiao said angrily: "We must find out the thief."
Soon, news spread that Shen Qianning's home had been robbed.
Many people from the village came.
Shen Qianning walked around the back door and found that there were no footprints left.
"I'll go report to the official tomorrow."
After Shen Qianning said something to everyone not to worry, she started cooking for the children.
There was a thief at home. Although nothing valuable was lost, everyone was in a bad mood.
Xiao Dongchen helped light the fire and asked, "Mom, who do you think it could be?"
Shen Qianning knew that other families in the village would not dare to steal things even if they were given ten courages, so the number of people who stole things was narrowed down, and the most likely person was Boss Xiao.
Boss Xiao hasn't been jumping around much recently.
But not jumping around does not mean that you have corrected your evil ways.
Early the next morning, Shen Qianning found traces of climbing over the courtyard wall near the entrance of the village. Her courtyard wall was very high, and she had to use a ladder to climb over it.
It just so happens that Mr. Xiao’s family has it.
Shen Qianning went to Mr. Xiao's home early the next morning.
Boss Xiao was not panicked at all.
The clothes have been sold by him, and even the rice has been sold.
When I saw Shen Qianning, I thought of how hard I went to Shen Qianning's house yesterday, but nothing was stolen.
I feel extremely unlucky.
Frowning, he asked, "Why did you come to my house? I'm telling you, if you dare to hit me in broad daylight, I will shout and let the villagers know that you beat me."
Shen Qianning looked up and down Xiao Dadao in disgust: "There is a thief in my house, and you are the thief! You don't have to say anything. I know you won't admit it. Do you think I can't find evidence by selling the clothes and food?"
Panic flashed in Boss Xiao's eyes.
He didn't expect Shen Qianning to guess so accurately.
He said with a guilty conscience: "Don't talk nonsense. I have been out these days and I only came back last night."
Shen Qianning did not argue with Boss Xiao.
He said calmly: "I will go to the Yamen and ask the Yamen to come. I know you will not go to the county town to sell these things. I think the nearest town nearby is Yuanyang Town! Do you think there will be any gains if I ask the Yamen to go to Yuanyang Town?" .”
People like Boss Xiao will never give up until they see the Yellow River.
Without complete evidence, he will never admit what he has done.
Boss Xiao was flustered and said, "If you want to go, just go and tell me what you are doing."
Shen Qianning sneered: "You know why I told you this."
After saying that, Shen Qianning walked out.
Boss Xiao looked at Shen Qianning's leaving figure. At this moment, his heart felt like an ant crawling, and he felt very uncomfortable.
I couldn't help but wonder if Shen Qianning would find a government official.
Of course Shen Qianning will look for it.
It just so happened that Wang Mazi and the others were coming over to pick up vegetables in the morning.
He asked Wang Mazi to send a message to the Yamen to go to Yuanyang Town to find her dress. Her dress was made of silk and satin given by the emperor. It was very expensive and could be found out by just asking.
Boss Xiao was anxious and uneasy at home. He could not stand or sit. He remained in panic until the afternoon.
Shen Qianning tidied up the house again.
Last night the children and I ate food brought back from Qucheng.
I bought some steamed buns for breakfast this morning.
At noon, he pretended to take bacon from the cellar and stewed it into dried vegetables.
Boss Xiao only stole valuable rice and a piece of clothing.
He didn't like those dried vegetables, so he kept them all.
Shen Qianning was having dinner with her children when an official came with someone.
Outside the yard, the official handed over ten kilograms of rice and the stolen clothes to Shen Qianning.
