Chapter 347

Seeing his younger brother staring at the pine nut fish and fried chicken nuggets in his hands and swallowing his saliva, Beibei couldn't help laughing and said, "Mancang, you can't eat these fried things yet, I boiled chicken soup for you and warmed it in the pot , do you want to drink?"

Hearing that there was chicken soup to drink, Mancang immediately grinned: "Yes! Yes!"

There is no pine nut fish and fried fish nuggets, and chicken soup is fine.

Beibei originally thought that Jin Cheng would be able to send news to her at noon at the latest, but until the afternoon, she didn't see anyone from the county government or the general's mansion, so Beibei's heart sank.

Could it be that no one was caught?
If this is the case, can you eat this dumb loss?
Thinking of this possibility, Bei Bei was very unwilling!

She didn't care about the jars of sauce, but it was really annoying to eat such a dark loss.

Widow Liu and Shui Lan obviously waited a little anxiously, frequently finding the wrong money and stamping the wrong seal.

It wasn't until dark that people from the general's mansion came late.

"Brother, how is the matter going?" Beibei asked intently, hoping she didn't guess right.

"Miss Beibei, the thief has been caught. The county magistrate said that it is getting late today, and the interrogation will start tomorrow. Please go to the county government office then."

The man told Beibei what happened in detail, and Widow Liu and Shui Lan suddenly realized after hearing this: "It turns out that they are used to stealing, no wonder they stole so many jars of sauce from us and were not found!"

After hearing what he said, Beibei realized that she was wrong.

These thieves are also good enough. The things of her family are worthless, but there are no less than forty or fifty shops in the whole county. Shops can also steal hundreds of taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver is a drop in the bucket for those shops with good business. Even if the boss knows that it has been stolen, they will not go into it. Such a low-risk, high-return business is a loss that these thieves can think of!

Besides, in the morning, Jin Cheng followed the code left by the people from the general's mansion to a small village three or four miles away from the city.

People from the General's Mansion had already tied the uniforms of the two thieves to a wooden post before Jin Cheng arrived. When Jin Cheng and others came to the small courtyard, they found that two of the rooms were full of things. It's for food, such as Beibei's sauces, seasonings, baskets of exquisite pastries, and high-end packaged soybean oil.

The other room stored high-grade rouge, silk and some precious jewelry.

Seeing these things, Jin Cheng and the others gasped.

Because nothing in the room was repeated, Jin Cheng and the others thought about it carefully, and their faces turned green.

These people are really daring to do such crazy things under their noses!
Jin Cheng and the others knew that almost all the shops in the city had been patronized by thieves in the past two years, but the number stolen was not large, and few shops reported to the authorities.

Those people who didn't report to the officials didn't mean that Jin Cheng and the others didn't know about it, but they always thought that thieves only stole some worthless things, and those shop owners didn't report to the officials, so they were happy to be at leisure, so they just opened their eyes Close your eyes and pass.

But seeing the things in these two rooms today, Jin Cheng and the others were deeply angry besides staring straight.

If they had known that they could find these thieves and find so many things, they would have tried their best to find out the thieves.

Jin Cheng and the others glanced at the people in the General's Mansion who were standing by the wooden pillar and watching coldly, and their expressions became even uglier.

With this person around, their hopes might be dashed.

Thinking of the valuable things in the two rooms, Jin Cheng and the others felt blood dripping from their hearts.

At the same time, another person from the General's Mansion followed several other people around the county several times, and it wasn't until after lunch that they were seen carrying two large cloth bags out of the city.

A few people were muttering as they walked, as if they were complaining that the other two didn't come back to help.

Hearing this, the people in the General's Mansion guessed that the other person should have succeeded, smiled slightly, and followed him calmly.

Before returning to the courtyard, several people looked around cautiously, and opened the door and went in after finding nothing unusual.

As soon as he entered, before he could open his mouth to scold the other two, the door behind him was closed with a "bang".

Their faces turned pale, and just as they were about to run, they were thrown to the ground by Jin Cheng and the others, who restrained them with their backhands.

"You, who are you?" One of them asked in surprise.

Because several people turned their backs to Jin Cheng and others, they thought it was someone from a shop who came to arrest them.

"I am your grandpa Jin Cheng!" Jin Cheng gritted his teeth, blood still dripping from his heart.

Hearing this, several people collapsed, and some dared not say anything: "Jin... Jin Butou?"

How come...how come Jin Butou is here?
"Take it away!" Jin Cheng ordered with a gloomy face, and he himself escorted the man out of the yard.

After leaving the courtyard, Jin Cheng couldn't help but turned his head to look inside the courtyard, and then said to the man from the general's mansion outside the door with distress: "Brother, please take care first, I'll send someone over to count the stolen goods!"

"Don't worry, Jin Butou, our brothers will guarantee with their lives that before the people from the government come, we will never let anything here be missing!" The two people from the General's Mansion assured Jin Cheng.

The servants of the General's Mansion have always been restrained according to the rules of the army, how dare Jin Cheng doubt them, but the pain in his heart makes him secretly regret it.

He gritted his teeth and swore that if someone was stolen from the police in the future, he would definitely investigate without hesitation!

The next day, Beibei arrived at the county government office with Qiao Qiongyan, and with Qiao Qiongyan there, the magistrate of that county didn't even have the guts to fool her.

When the county magistrate saw the stolen goods, he was still thinking about luck, but when he heard that Jin Cheng said that the people in the general's mansion had already counted the stolen goods before he brought people over, he immediately threw out an antique teacup.

"Did that girl in the fishing village offend me?!" The county magistrate cursed with trembling lips.

Every time I met her, nothing good happened. The first time it was because of those spies from the enemy country, the second time it was because of the poisoning, and yesterday...

The magistrate shook his head, thinking about the unbearable feeling, and said: "From now on, you don't have to report anything about her, just watch and deal with it yourself!"

He swears, this is the last time!

He can't afford to provoke, can't he still hide?The county magistrate said angrily.

But when she saw Qiao Qiongyan next to Beibei in the hall, she immediately had a feeling of darkness.

Why is this aunt still here today?

This aunt's character is too untrustworthy, the magistrate thought sadly: Don't make her unhappy later, she will expose his embarrassing things yesterday in class?
