Chapter 67 We caught a thief! (Part 2)(2/2)
"Nothing happened. You have been doing business for many years and your eyes are as bright as a torch. Please take a closer look at whether this pearl was the one I brought over a month ago. By the way, I remember that two of you had issued a paper appraisal at that time, which recorded the size and weight..."
In front of everyone, the four pawn shopkeepers lowered their heads and carefully checked the Night Pearl. Finally, the old white-bearded shopkeeper handed the pearl back and nodded:
"Reporting to Ming Mansion, this pearl looks like a pearl but not a pearl, like a stone but not a stone, but also has the power of luminous light in the dark. I was impressed that day, and the size and weight are not bad at all. I can't make a mistake. Now this one was indeed brought by you that day, but it's a pity that the deal was not completed on the same day."
As soon as this statement was made, the evidence was conclusive, and the streets were in an uproar. No one expected that the situation would have developed strangely. A young county magistrate had never expected how could the junior sister use the things he gave to redeem people? Is there no spare money on her, or was the two of them giving it out when they were angry in the cold war?
Liu Zilin and Luo Er, who were tied up, seemed to be struck by lightning and froze in place.
Ouyang Rong threw away the night pearl in his hand, turned his head and looked eager to ask them:
"Strange, how did the Ye Mingzhu that I gave to Miss Xie appear in the hands of both of you? Or was it the truth of Miss Xie's words just now? You are all lying!"
Liu Zilin suddenly panicked and stuttered: "It's yours...yes, but how do you prove that you...you gave it to her?"
"Okay, I accidentally assumed guilty. I apologize. Then change the question..."
Ouyang Rong nodded with a chuckle and suddenly changed his face:
"Why do you steal the night pearl of my official?? Don't you know that theft is more than ten strings, not only to tattoo the face, but also to be exiled to Lingnan for three years! Theft of official wealth is even more serious than the crime!"
Liu Zilin and Luo Er were stunned.
Especially the former, under the sun at noon, his body shivered twice in succession.
It's over.
