Second Master Ning didn't understand for a moment why Capt. Liu asked how many male servants there were in their house, and asked: "Capt. Liu, why do you ask this?"
Liu Captou smiled, did not answer, and then said seriously: "Okay, then please ask Mr. Ning to send the twenty male servants in the mansion here!"
"Captain Liu, you're here and you didn't tell me why? Now you have to send all the twenty male servants in my house here. What do you want to do?" Mr. Ning raised his eyebrows and asked unhappily. road.
He originally thought that the housekeeper had made a mistake, but now it seemed that was not the case.
He was a noble man, but he was kind and polite to Liu Captou and the others, just for the sake of the magistrate. It didn't mean that they could just ask whoever they wanted in his Ning family without any reason. , you can tell whoever you want to see?
This move was really rude, and it seemed more like he didn't take his Ning family seriously. Even though his Ning family was not as good as before, he was still a man with a reputation as a civil servant! If he didn't want to take the Jinshi examination, he could have done it at any time. Looking for an official position in the government office.
When the question was asked, Mr. Liu stopped playing riddles and said directly: "The night before yesterday, a tea mountain near Chashan Village burned down..."
Ning Erye's expression changed drastically. He really came here for this matter. He did this matter in an extremely secretive way. How could he find out about the Ning family so quickly?
He can't figure it out? He can't figure it out either.
In fact, Mr. Ning is also stupid. Everyone knows that Mr. Shen, the owner of Youranju, has a problem with him. He also found ruffians to cause trouble in Youran. If anything happens to the property under the control of Shen, even if it is his There was no evidence, so everyone would be the first to suspect him. However, he felt that he had done it secretly, and only found families to have children. Although he was discovered by the people guarding the mountain when he set the fire, and even injured the people guarding the mountain, he went there. The person who set the fire also had his face covered, so his face was not seen by the mountain guards, let alone recognized.
He is too confident and too conceited. Who knows, there is no perfect crime in this world. As long as you do it, there will always be some clues left behind.
"What does the burning of the tea mountain have to do with our Ning family?" Mr. Ning interrupted Mr. Liu's words.
Liu Captou said: "The tea mountain used to be the ancestral property of your Ning family, and was later sold to Mrs. Shen, the owner of Youranju. Your Ning family has been to the Yamen twice because of the festival with Mrs. Shen, so you must have some feelings for Mrs. Shen in your heart." There is resentment. Some people saw the young boys from your Ning family wandering under the tea mountain in the afternoon a few days ago. At dusk the day before yesterday, there were also officers and soldiers guarding the city and saw two young boys from your Ning family carrying a jar. city, and won’t come back until the next morning.”
After saying that, Capt. Liu looked at Mr. Ning sharply. He believed that the person who set the fire was a member of the Ning family, so he told a little lie, saying that someone saw the young man of the Ning family. The officers and soldiers guarding the city had to Seeing so many people coming and going, how do you know who the Ning family's servant is? And where did he go out? This is all Liu's guess.
The city gate would be closed after dark, and even if the boy set fire at night, he would not be able to go out so early. Therefore, he should have left the city before dark, burned the mountain, stayed outside the city overnight, and entered the city early the next morning.
Mr. Ning was startled and stunned for a moment. He was silent for a long time. He looked at Mr. Liu and asked, "Do you suspect that my Ning family burned the tea mountain?"
This is simply ridiculous. Master Ning was extremely angry. His Ning family is a century-old family with a clean family tradition. How could he do this...? Master Ning was stunned and looked at his younger brother sitting next to him. .If it were his prodigal brother, he would most likely do such a thing.
"It's not suspicion." Liu Captou said.
It has been determined that as long as the manservant from the house is called and the shopkeeper of the oil shop recognizes the person, the guilty boy will not blame himself. Capt. Liu is very experienced in this kind of thing.
"Please also ask Mr. Ning to send all the twenty male servants in the house quickly. Twenty, not one of them can be missing." Liu Captou looked serious and spoke firmly, not allowing for any comments.
Mr. Ning's face turned a little pale, and he blamed himself for neglect. The two boys had been at Ning's house since they were young, and they often walked around outside. Although they were born in a family with a strict mouth and would not go out to talk nonsense, they were easily fooled. People recognized them as members of the Ning family.
