Shen Wan touched her chin and thought for a while and said, "After you go to bed, the gate of this courtyard will be bolted!"
Mrs. Liu didn't speak, but nodded.
"So, once the door bolt is plugged in, outsiders can't come in. Moreover, there is also a woman keeping watch in this yard. If someone comes in, the woman keeping watch will definitely find out."
"That's right." Song Heng nodded.
Shen Wan said: "So, instead of searching the whole house and making the servants restless, you might as well start the investigation from this courtyard."
"What do you mean by Madam? Are you saying that we stole Madam's jewelry?" Grandma Wang shouted.
When the maids in the room heard what Grandma Wang said, they all looked at Shen Wan angrily.
Mrs. Liu was about to have a fit, but Shen Wan stepped forward and said with a smile: "I didn't say you stole it, so why are you anxious?"
"Hmph..." Grandma Wang said angrily: "How can you not be anxious when you are being slandered?"
"When did I slander you? This thing was thrown from this yard, shouldn't the investigation start from this yard?" Shen Wanxiao asked.
Those soldiers who were guarding the general's palace with imperial ring silver and had never even entered the courtyard were not even worried when their house was searched! She was worried.
Song Heng nodded and said, "We should really start investigating from this yard."
Mrs. Liu looked at the people waiting in her courtyard and felt a little suspicious. After all, they were the ones who had the easiest access to her jewelry and money.
"Call everyone in this courtyard to come into the house." Song Heng said to Grandma Wang.
"Yes," Grandma Wang said to Song Hengfu, then left the house and called all the servants in.
"Who was the last person to come out of the old lady's house yesterday?" Song Heng asked, looking at the two maids, a mother-in-law and Grandma Wang.
The two maids looked at each other, and finally their eyes rested on Grandma Wang.
"Yesterday, the last person to come out of the old lady's room was Grandma Wang. After Grandma Wang came out, she asked us all to go to bed."
Grandma Wang, who was named, hurriedly said: "Although I was the last one to come out, I took off the old lady's hairpin ring and put it into the jewelry box. When I left, those jewelry were still there! "
"Then where did you go after you left the old lady's room?" Shen Wan looked at Grandma Wang and asked.
Grandma Wang said: "Of course I went back to the room to sleep."
"Who can testify?" Shen Wan asked again.
One of the two maids said: "We can testify that not long after we returned to the room, Grandma Wang came back to sleep." They, the servants of the courtyard, all live in the same room.
"Then who paid the night last night?" Song Heng asked.
"I." The mother-in-law, who had been silent for the whole time, responded.
Song Heng then asked: "When you were on night watch, did you see anyone entering the yard?"
"No," the mother-in-law shook her head, and then said: "No, someone has entered the courtyard. After the old lady fell asleep for a long time, the second young master knocked on the courtyard door. I opened the door, and he said his I left something in the old lady's room, and I wanted to go in and take it out. I said that the old lady was sleeping, and I was afraid that he would disturb her if he went in, so I asked him to come back tomorrow. But he said that he was in a hurry and wanted to go to the academy tomorrow morning to use it. He was afraid that he would need it tomorrow morning. It was too late to take him to the academy, and he said he didn't want to go all the way in vain. I saw that the second young master was in such a hurry, so I let him into the courtyard and told him to be gentle when he entered the old lady's room and not to wake up the old lady. Already."
Shen Wan frowned and had a bad feeling in her heart. This thief was probably the troubled Song Ziling. However, what she couldn't figure out was why he wanted to steal the old lady's jewelry and money? Lin Qingxue gave He has a lot of monthly income, is it still enough for him? Even if he is short of money, he can still ask Lin Qingxue for it! Isn’t she always very generous to them? Moreover, he also gave Liu’s jewelry and five hundred taels All the money was stolen, why did he need so much money?
Shen Wan didn't know, in fact, Song Ziling had asked Lin Qingxue for two hundred taels of silver two days ago, and Lin Qingxue gave it back. Yesterday, after he came out of Liu's courtyard for the first time, Then she went to Fuyun Pavilion and wanted to ask Lin Qingxue for money again, but Lin Qingxue didn't give it to him. She said that he wanted too much money this month. If he wanted it again, she would have to tell Song Heng and he agreed. can give.
Song Ziling was most afraid of Song Heng, so he immediately shook his head and said no, and left Fuyun Pavilion.
