Chapter 1306 It's Not Suspicion, It's Confirmation
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 came here and you didn't tell me why?
Now you want 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.
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 the reputation of being a civil servant! If he didn't want to take the Jinshi exam, he could have done it at any time. Looking for an official position in the government yamen.
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..." Mr. Ning's expression changed drastically. He really came here for this matter.
He did this very secretly. How could he find out about the Ning family so quickly?
He can't figure it out?
I can't understand either.
In fact, Mr. Ning is also stupid. Everyone knows that the owner of Youranju, Mr. Shen, 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 own. Without any evidence, everyone would be the first to doubt him.
He felt that he had done it secretly and had only found children of his own family. Although he was discovered by the mountain guard when he set the fire, and even injured the mountain guard, the person who set the fire had his face covered and was not seen by the mountain guard. If you lose your face, you won't be recognized.
He is too confident and too conceited.
Who knows, there is no perfect crime in this world. As long as you commit it, there will always be some clues left behind.
"What does it have to do with our Ning family if the tea mountain is burned?"
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.
In the afternoons a few days ago, some people saw the young men of your Ning family wandering under the tea mountain. At dusk the day before yesterday, there were also officers and soldiers guarding the city. They saw two young men of your Ning family carrying a jar out of the city. I didn’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 boy of the Ning family.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city had to watch so many people coming in and out every day. How could they know who the Ning family's servant was?
Where did it come out from?
This is all what Liu Captou speculated.
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 was simply ridiculous. Master Ning was extremely angry. His Ning family was 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 a 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 quickly send all the twenty male servants in the house. Twenty, not one less."
Liu Captou's expression was serious, his tone was firm, and he did not allow any comment.
Mr. Ning's face turned a little pale, and he blamed himself for negligence in his heart. 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.
