Chapter 634 Slandered

Butler Xiao frowned, but said: "How is it possible? I remember I took it off, and I was still holding it when I was looking at the inkstone over there, and later——"

Butler Xiao's eyes fell on Mo Yunshen and Mu Qingli coldly, full of suspicion and scrutiny.

He didn't go to the VIP room in the back hall as soon as he came in, but walked around the store before going there.

And when he walked around to the area where the inkstones were placed, because he took a fancy to a very elegant one, he stopped to take it in his hand and admired it for a while.

Maybe it was at that moment that he put the brocade box in his hand aside, and then went to the VIP room in the back hall, and he must have forgotten the existence of the brocade box.

He didn't stay in the VIP room for a long time. After all, now that he is rich and powerful, he buys good things if he likes them. Why do we need mushrooms for a long time?

And when he came out, there was only this young couple in the shop——

Housekeeper Xiao snorted, and went straight to Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen with a cold face, and said coldly, "Did you two see a brocade box on the shelf over the inkstone?"

Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen are not good-tempered people. Although Steward Xiao is asking questions, his suspicious look and condescending tone of questioning all show that he has actually regarded them as thieves .

Mo Yun snorted deeply and ignored it, while Mu Qingli spat directly: "I'm sick! Shopkeeper, hurry up and wrap up what we want, otherwise we won't buy it! Really, I'm in a good mood It was just a fly destroying it!"

"Who are you calling a fly!" Housekeeper Xiao was furious, and said angrily, "If you don't hand over your things, you will never leave!"

The couple looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Mu Qingli looked at Butler Xiao, and gave another sulky disappointment: "I'm sick!"

Mo Yunshen said with a cold face: "The shopkeeper?"

Butler Xiao, who had always been flattered and flattered by others, was dizzy with anger, pointed at Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen and said, "Okay, I think you must have stolen the things! Otherwise, why are you so anxious to buy them?" Escape? Hurry up and hand over the things! That is a hundred-year-old ginseng used by our wife to treat diseases, and it is precious!"

Mo Yun flicked his sleeves deeply, slapped his hands sorely, and said coolly: "Those who dare to point their fingers at us will end up with no good end. I think the shopkeeper is not sincere in doing this business, so leave."

"Hey, guest officer—" the shopkeeper became anxious now. Although Steward Xiao was afraid of making trouble for no reason, he couldn't say anything, but the business of hundreds of taels of silver would fly away, and everyone would feel distressed.

Seeing that Mo Yunshen and Mu Qingli were about to leave, they hurried forward to stop them, but Mo Yunshen stared at them coldly, stopped in their steps, and hesitated for a moment.

Butler Xiao didn't care so much, he ran forward a few steps, pulled Mo Yunshen's sleeve, and shouted: "You thief who steals things don't want to escape! Return our wife's old wild ginseng! That's ours!" Ma'am, it's life-saving!"

"Get out!" Mo Yunshen was furious, and he flicked his sleeves vigorously, and Steward Xiao was thrown to the ground. Who would have thought that he turned over and entangled him again without caring about the pain, holding Mo Yunshen's robe tightly: "You can't go away!" I will ask someone to compensate you when you leave!"

Where did Mo Yunshen think that this person would be such a rogue and difficult to deal with, and he insisted on entangled himself even if he was desperate. Now he was really angry, and when he really wanted to kick him over, he saw twelve or three An official with a knife at his waist broke in from outside.

"Where are the thieves?"

"Dare to steal in broad daylight, how courageous!"

When Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen turned their heads to look, the dozen or so officials had already walked into the shop, and next to them were the entourage of Butler Xiao, who had gone to rescue soldiers.

At this time, there was already a circle of melon-eating crowd outside the door, asking what was going on?

Butler Xiao was overjoyed when he saw that the official messenger had finally arrived. At this time, he grabbed Mo Yunshen's robe on the ground. That couple stole the villain’s old wild ginseng! It’s a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, and it’s hard to find such a complete one in Minzhou City. The villain’s mistress is still waiting for the old ginseng. Ginseng is helping!"

The dozen or so official servants had obviously accepted the benefits of Steward Xiao's entourage. Hearing this, they stared at Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen with unkind expressions, and the leader said coldly, "You are so courageous! In broad daylight How dare you steal! Hurry up and hand over the things!"

Mu Qingli chuckled, "We? We stole his century-old ginseng? Did he see it with his own eyes, or did someone see it with his own eyes?"

Butler Xiao didn't feel that his words were untenable, and immediately said arrogantly: "At that time, the old man accidentally forgot the brocade box containing the old wild ginseng in this shop, and went to the VIP room in the back hall with the shopkeeper and the staff. , when you came out, there were only the two of you, if not you, who else would there be?"

This reason is enough, and the onlookers feel speechless and point their fingers one after another.

The officials didn't look too good-looking, and secretly scolded Butler Xiao why his brain is so bad? At least find a more reliable reason, okay? Can such unnecessary words be said in public? It's embarrassing even with them, okay?

If you don't help him make the decision, the benefit has already been taken, so there is no reason to spit it out; if you help, how can this reason be tenable?

Mu Qingli laughed, and said: "Oh, that means it's all based on your guess? Tsk tsk, I said, this housekeeper, you are not very good at framing! Maybe you want to swallow the old mountain ginseng all by yourself Why did you come here to wrong us? Do you really think that our husband and wife are being taken advantage of? Besides, since it is your wife’s life-saving item, if you don’t take good care of it, you shouldn’t. , is it true that Minzhou City is your home?"

Butler Xiao was angry, not to mention, he is really the tyrant in Mingzhou, and anyone who dared to provoke him could count on two hands, how could he bear being squeezed by Mu Qingli, and cursed: "I will make false accusations You? As poor as you are, how could you come to the bookstore if you didn’t want to steal? Don’t tell people that you are scholars!”

Butler Xiao was also driven into a hurry. You must know that a complete century-old ginseng is hard to find. He has been looking for it for a long time, and his wife reminds him every day. If he can't get it back, the wife will be angry. .

Madam became angry, but her relatives did not recognize her.

Today he managed to get one with great difficulty, and thinking that he could finally do business, he felt elated. He is usually a person who likes to be arty, so he was in a great mood and prepared to go shopping and buy some goodies before going back.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong in the middle.

It was so easy to catch two scapegoats, of course he was going to cling to them. Even though he knew the reason was far-fetched, he still said it righteously.
