When Sha'er Zidan saw Chai Yan nodding, he immediately thanked him happily: "Thank you, Mr. Chai!"
Chai Yan then said: "Wait here and remember your promise to me not to cause trouble!"
"Yes!" Sha'er Zidan responded seriously.
With that said, Chai Yan walked up to the government officials and said hello: "Don't be locked up with other female prisoners, find a clean single room, do you understand?"
Chai Yan had already spoken, how could the government officials not listen, and quickly responded that they would take good care of Su Ni.
Chai Yan turned to Su Ni and said, "Calm down, Young Master Dan will help you clear your name soon."
Su Ni thanked her: "Thank you, sir..."
Then, Su Ni's eyes turned to Sha'er Zidan not far away.
Sha'er Zidan had been looking at Su Ni. When he found that Su Ni was looking at him, he quickly shouted: "Su Ni, don't worry, I will rescue you right away, right away..."
Su Ni nodded very moved.
"Okay, you go ahead..."
Chai Yan waved his hands, and the officials took Su Ni towards the prison.
All this was seen by Zhang Sixi and his wife. Zhang Sixi was fine, but Mrs. Zhang's face was very ugly.
Mrs. Zhang hummed in her heart and said to her husband: "Master, let's go home!"
Zhang Sixi nodded. Before leaving, he turned to look at the backs of the yamen servant and Su Ni. He couldn't help but shake his head slowly and sighed softly.
Mrs. Zhang became unhappy when she saw her husband sighing, and said slightly angrily: "Master, what do you mean? Now our family has lost something, but you are sighing at the person who stole it in front of outsiders, no?
Those who knew it thought I was deliberately wronging her!"
Zhang Sixi hurriedly denied: "No, no, madam, I don't mean that. I just can't understand why Su Ni steals your earrings. She usually helps our house clean and clean, but sometimes you want to reward her with more wages."
If you don’t want it, why do you suddenly...I don’t understand!”
Mrs. Zhang retorted coldly: "Hey, she is just pretending to show it to us! It's not interesting to get a few small coins. Wouldn't it be nice to find a chance to pick up something more valuable?"
Aunt Li on the side nodded quickly and agreed: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, what Madam said makes sense..."
Zhang Sixi knew that he could not convince his wife, so he shook his head and said nothing.
Mrs. Zhang turned to look at Aunt Li, and said very dissatisfied: "You too, why are you so bad at looking at people? From now on, you have to polish your eyes, don't bring anyone to my house..."
"Yes, yes, madam taught me that I must keep my eyes bright in the future." Aunt Li bowed and nodded.
Sha'er Zidan couldn't bear their slander against Su Ni, so he immediately rushed over angrily and shouted: "I'll say it again, Su Ni is not that kind of person, she won't steal other people's things, please keep your mouths clean."
!”
Mrs. Zhang was not afraid of him and retorted: "You said she didn't steal it, then go and find the person who stole my earrings! The county government office here is the lobby, not a place to compete with others with louder voices!"
Sha'er Zidan still wanted to speak, but Chai Yan suddenly stepped between him and Mrs. Zhang, stared at him sharply and said, "Have you forgotten what I just said?"
Sha'er Zidan had no choice but to swallow his anger, turned around and walked away angrily.
Then, Chai Yan turned around and looked at Zhang Sixi and his wife.
Zhang Sixi and his wife knew that Chai Yan was an official, but they couldn't figure out what kind of official he was, so they didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"Zhang Sixi, I'm very curious, what do those glazed stone earrings that you lost at home look like?" Chai Yan suddenly asked.
"that....."
"master!"
Just as Zhang Sixi was about to answer, Mrs. Zhang beside her pulled her husband to stop him from continuing.
Mrs. Zhang looked at Chai Yan and asked carefully: "My lord, are you..."
Chai Yan smiled and said calmly: "Oh, let me introduce myself. My surname is Chai. I am entrusted by Lord Situ. I will continue to investigate the theft case at your home!"
Zhang Sixi hurriedly raised his hands and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Chai. I have admired you for a long time..."
Seeing her husband salute, Mrs. Zhang also reluctantly gave him a blessing. Aunt Li followed the same example, but her gesture of blessing was not complimentary.
Mrs. Zhang felt that Chai Yan was very young, so she couldn't help but feel a little distrustful, so she asked: "Master Chai, how do you plan to investigate?"
As soon as this question came out, the smile on Chai Yan's face suddenly disappeared, and he said in an unhappy tone: "I have my own way of investigating the case. Do I need to explain it to you?"
Zhang Sixi and his wife, as well as Aunt Li, were all shocked. They did not expect that the young official's face would change at a moment's notice, faster than turning the pages of a book.
"I don't dare, Master Chai, please calm down. My wife's words are rude, I hope Master Chai will forgive me!" Zhang Sixi hurriedly apologized.
Chai Yan was unreasonable and asked very arrogantly: "Excuse me? Why should I forgive her? Ah?"
Zhang Sixi was at a loss for words. He was at a loss for a long time before he remembered to say to his wife: "Why are you standing there in a daze? You haven't apologized to Mr. Chai yet!"
Mrs. Zhang was also frightened by Chai Yan's official power, and immediately apologized hurriedly.
"That's all, I'm not a stingy person, so I won't argue with you..."
Chai Yan raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, looking very generous.
"Thank you, Mr. Chai!" Zhang Sixi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Chai Yan like this, Mrs. Zhang almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. She turned against you before she even said a word, and she actually had the nerve to say that she was not stingy!
But it's helpless, Chai Yan is an official, they are citizens, their status is here...
Chai Yan suddenly regained his smiling and approachable look, and asked: "I heard you just now say that the glazed stone earrings are a pair, and the one that was stolen was one of them, right?"
Mrs. Zhang did not dare to say anything, so Zhang Sixi answered: "Yes, Mr. Chai, only one is missing."
Chai Yan suddenly stared at Mrs. Zhang and asked in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, are your pair of earrings put together or separated?"
"Put...put them together..." Mrs. Zhang answered quickly under the pressure of Chai Yan's aura.
After the words fell, Chai Yan held his cheek and asked with confusion: "Then I don't understand. Since they are put together, why didn't the thief steal a pair but only one of them? Let me think about it.
Ah...Uh...Ah! I thought about it, the thief must have only one ear, so he stole one, don't you think?"
"Uh..." Zhang Sixi, his wife and Aunt Li looked at each other in confusion, not knowing at all how to respond to these ridiculous words Chai Yan said.
"That's right, it's obviously a pair of earrings, how could you steal just one! It's obvious that you accidentally lost one of them, and you insisted on relying on Su Ni's head when you couldn't find it. You guys are too evil!"
I don't know when, Sha'er Zidan came back quietly, and after hearing Chai Yan's words, he immediately started shouting angrily.
Mrs. Zhang shook her head hurriedly and said: "No, that's not the case!"
Zhang Sixi also shook his head and waved his hands in denial.
Chai Yan turned back to look at Sha'er Zidan and said angrily: "If you keep babbling, believe it or not, I will stop caring about this matter right away?"
Sha'er Zidan lost his temper instantly, bowed his head and took two steps back, with an expression like a child who had done something wrong.
