After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 678

Chapter 678 Catch the thief

“It's not difficult at all, right?”

Qin Yao shrugged and looked at the troubled Qi Yushi with a smile: "As for whether you want to impeach or not, it all depends on your own heart."

That's what he said, but once Wu Sheng arrives at the Yamen, he will definitely report the matter.

However, he, the censor who knew about the matter in advance, delayed the Yamen one step before submitting the impeachment details. What would the civil and military officials think? What would fellow censors think?

What would your Majesty think?

Qin Yao added another sentence: "My lords and censors, do you think every impeachment must be done only if the evidence of the crime is confirmed?"

Qin Yao shook her head, she didn't believe it.

Those who raise suspicions and those who search for evidence are two departments.

"If this matter is just a groundless slander, Your Majesty's impeachment can also make the prince pay attention to those around him who like to spread rumors. After all, if there is such a rumor spread, His Highness the prince is not wrong at all. ?"

Qin Yao said in a righteous and awe-inspiring tone: "If this matter is true, should the law bow to the law? The foundation of the Sheng Kingdom was destroyed by these people who despised the king's law!"

Having said that, "Whether to impeach or not depends on your own heart."

Yu Shi of Qi was speechless. Qin Yao had finished all the good things to say by herself. What else could he say.

　　Every sentence says, "Look at your own heart." In fact, I want him to bring this matter up.

Had he not known that the family next door had just moved to Kyoto and had no basic connections, he would have couldn't help but wonder if they were being coordinated by the eldest princess's mansion.

Once this matter was revealed, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had been so impeached by scholars during this period, almost laughed out loud.

More and more people gathered outside Qi Mansion, leaving little time for Qi Yushi to struggle.

At the steward's urging, Qi Yushi glared at Qin Yao angrily and shouted: "Here comes someone!"

Two guards who were guarding nearby ran in immediately.

Yushi Qi pointed at Wu Sheng, "Take this thief out and give it to the boss to see how much he stole."

Hurryuan did not dare to hesitate and immediately picked Wu Sheng up.

Wu Sheng glanced at Qin Yao gratefully and followed the two guards cooperatively.

The two guards who knew about 60-70% of the truth looked at him curiously. They were surprised that he was able to escape from the black knight in the East Palace. He was also an amazing person.

Wu Sheng smiled bitterly. Anyone who didn't want to die would struggle as hard as he did.

The crowd then followed.

The Qi family opened the door, and crowds of people poured into the courtyard. They were all familiar faces that they had seen at Qin Yao's house in the evening.

The shop owner did not come to the banquet in the afternoon, but sent someone over to congratulate her. However, Qin Yao and the shop owner had met before when they bought a house. Everyone was curious when they saw her in the Qijia courtyard.

Yushi Qi raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and explained: "The thief stole something and was about to climb over the wall to escape. He accidentally fell down in the back alley of our house. Madam Qin is very skilled in martial arts and caught the thief in a few seconds."

With the military student being held in the hands of the nurse, he didn't look like he was panicking after being caught stealing, and he didn't ask for mercy, so he felt suspicious.

But the current situation was not the time to study in detail. I looked at Qi Yushi and saw that he nodded without any extra explanation, so I had no choice but to suppress my doubts.

The rest of the people didn't think so much. Money always attracts people's hearts. Even if they know that they have a lot of things at home, they still want to join in the fun and see how much gold and silver treasures can be found. Maybe they can get a piece of it back.

So, under the gaze of everyone, the owner of the shop led people to search him personally, and "crackling" shook out more than a dozen copper plates.

Liu Jirou, who was mixed in the crowd, hissed slightly in pain. This was only a small part of his few private rooms!

“Why so little?”

“Didn't you say that a lot of gold and silver treasures were found?” “Who said that just now?”

“It seems like” Huh? Who was shouting?

It turned out to be an unfamiliar face. It was dark at night, and everyone couldn't remember what the informant looked like.

Amid people's complaints, Liu Ji hid his merit and fame and retreated silently.

After Qin Yao told the boss about the arrest process, he waited for Qi Yushi to make the decision and asked the boss to send the thief to the government office tomorrow before leaving.

After all, he is a thief, and catching him counts as meritorious service. There is also the lively one who actively signed up to help bring the thief to the government.

For every one, there are two. Before the owner even opened his mouth, there were already about ten people signing up to go with him.

Normally, for this kind of thing, there are fewer people and less trouble. Just one or two people can **** the thief. The shop owner was about to refuse, but Qi Yushi secretly stopped him.

The owner of the Fang was doubtful. At this moment, he couldn't help it. He invited people aside and whispered:

"Master Qi, what is going on? Is the thief really a thief?"

Yu Shi of Qi knew that he could not hide it from him, but he did not dare to tell him the truth and said cryptically:

"Don't worry about whether he is a thief or not. Just send him to the Yamen. It's none of your business."

The boss wanted to ask again, but Qi Yushi shook him seriously, "Don't ask, it's not good for you to know too much."

The owner of the shop was shocked. It was rare for Qi Yushi to have any contact with neighbors like them. To get a reminder from him showed that things were really not simple.

He didn't dare to ask any more questions. Anyway, he took a dozen people with him and sent the military student to the Yamen as soon as the curfew was lifted tomorrow.

Wu Sheng was taken away by the owner of the shop, and he was first locked up in his firewood shed. Then he called a man from Zhang Guizhi's family who worked in the Yamen to guard him, and the matter came to an end for the time being.

However, just when Qin Yao and his family thought they could go to bed.

On the street outside the square where curfew was not allowed, a group of guards suddenly entered Kuanzhengfang.

The commotion of catching thieves here is not small. The commotion can be heard in several neighboring shops. Those who are chasing Wu Sheng will notice it if they pay a little attention.

The sound of horse hooves resounded in the quiet streets. The people of Kuanzhengfang, who had just finished catching thieves and were too sleepy to open their eyes, were half awake.

A Wang jumped down from the wall of his house, knocked on Qin Yao's door, and said solemnly: "Madam, I am the black knight of the Prince's Mansion."

The door of the study room next door opened slightly, and Liu Ji, wearing a robe, sneakily approached him, looking worriedly in the direction of the door:

"Why did they come so fast? If Wu Sheng is discovered, wouldn't all our efforts tonight be in vain?"

Qin Yao waved her hand, "It's not in vain, at least we won't be silenced."

Liu Ji thought about it, that's right. Now everyone in Kuanzhengfang has seen Wu Sheng. He didn't believe that the black knight dared to massacre the innocent people of Yifang City at the foot of the imperial city.

The door next door was knocked by the black knight, and then the doors of several houses near and far were knocked open.

Liu Ji felt nervous, "Is this going to be a door-to-door search?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a group of people stop at the door of his house.

The three of them looked at each other and had a tacit understanding.

Liu Ji walked quickly to the backyard where the children lived. Awang immediately hid in the dark place. Qin Yao took a deep breath and came to the door.
