Chapter 1263 Liu Wei Knew He Was Right

Wan felt that the copper key was about to pierce her eyeball. She nodded in panic and said tremblingly: "No, I haven't seen it before..."

Liu Wei narrowed her eyes: "You really haven't seen it before?"

Wanshi said tremblingly: "Really, really, I haven't seen it... No, no, I seem... I seem to have seen it..."

Liu Wei threw her head aside, stood up straight, and hung the key in front of Wan: "Say!"

Wan fell to the ground, her face as white as paper, looking at the young man above her head with fear and fear, then carefully determined the shape of the key again, and said with a shrinking voice: "I was... I was a long time ago... Have seen..."

"How long ago? Where have I seen you?"

Wanshi swallowed and rolled her eyes to the side, turning in Jiang's direction.

Mrs. Jiang was still holding her daughter, and when she saw Mr. Wan looking at her, she was stunned for a moment.

Liu Wei took the key and walked towards Jiang.

Sun Ke, who was in Jiang's arms, was obviously frightened by the scene just now, and cried "Wow" loudly.

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly coaxed her daughter, and then gently covered her daughter's mouth to tell her not to cry.

Liu Wei didn't go too close, but stopped after a few steps, picked up the key again, and dangled it in the air: "The second young lady didn't seem to mention knowing this key just now."

Mrs. Jiang pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids and said, "Sir, I really don't know the key."

Liu Wei looked at Wanshi again.

Wan was excited and said hurriedly: "I clearly saw you take it. Wasn't it my second brother who was in charge of the cloth shop before? The cloth shop was closed during the Spring Festival last year. I saw you take this key and open the door of the cloth shop. I took out a lot of cloth and was reading it to my sister-in-law. You are poor and I am too lazy to expose you, but how could you not recognize this key?"

Jiang's face suddenly turned pale, and his lips lost color.

On the other hand, Mrs. Sun on the side came to her senses, and immediately slapped Jiang again: "The two 'Ten Thousand Flowers Kite' that were paid tribute to Beijing last year turned out to be stolen by you! You bitch! Did you know that the Yamen of the state government Come to collect the goods, my Sun family almost went to jail because of the theft of tributes? Tell me, where did you sell the Wanhua Guiyuan? Let’s get real!”

Ms. Jiang was slapped so hard on her back by Mrs. Sun that she was trembling all over. Her whole body was in a panic, and she denied tremblingly: "No, no, I really didn't..."

"Someone has seen it, but you still dare to say it's not true. I'll see if I don't beat you to death! You're a bastard who stole your husband's things!"

Mrs. Sun's hand was really strong. Within a few strokes, blood appeared at the corner of Jiang's mouth, but she still bit her tongue without saying anything.

Sun Ke cried even harder in his mother's arms. Mrs. Sun got annoyed and grabbed her three-year-old granddaughter by her hair and pulled the child completely out.

Liu Wei narrowed his eyes when he saw this.

Seeing Mrs. Jiang kneeling down in a hurry, hugging her daughter, she cried: "I said, I said, I said... No, it's not me, it's my husband... He, he owes the gambling house a thousand taels. , I said that my friend had a way out, and I could give him two thousand taels after selling a thousand-flowered kite, and I would still have half of the money left after paying back the money from the gambling shop... It’s not me... It’s really not me..."

When Mrs. Sun heard this, her vision went dark and her whole body was about to explode. Member Sun was also dizzy and lay down on the back of the chair, gasping for air.

Mrs. Jiang cried so hard that she timidly hugged her daughter tightly: "My husband said that his father refused to give him money, so he was so talented that he had to do this. I... I really don't know anything... cloth After giving it to him, I was afraid for a long time, especially when people came from the Yamen, I was really afraid... But at that time, Wanhua Guiyuan had been sold... and the money had been received, I... I had no choice..."

The unthinkable disaster they suffered last year is a memory that all the Sun family members will never forget. The western vassal country sent a tribute snow satin, but the satin was too plain. When it was presented, the Ministry of Rites sent the snow satin down and recruited silk merchants to polish the satin. Second dye.

At that time, many silk merchants in the south of the Yangtze River were fighting hard for it, but it happened that Master Yin Wan of Tingjiang Prefecture and Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites were brothers of the same school. Relying on the in-law relationship of the Wan family, the Sun family obtained the second dyeing rights. Seeing that the Sun family was about to rely on With Erran's tribute, he soared into the sky, walked out of Xijin County, and entered the feet of the wealthy emperor. But at this time, something happened to the tribute.

The dyed tribute satin named "Wanhua Guiyuan" was lost.

The Ministry of Rites was responsible for the crime, and the Sun family was almost convicted and executed. In the end, it was still relying on Master Wan to work around and spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to intercede, and the matter was revealed.

This is also the reason why both Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun are afraid of Wan. Wan's father's ability is beyond the imagination of rural businessmen like them.

But now, Yuanwai Sun and Mrs. Sun know the truth about the theft of the tribute, and they are really shocked...

I had known that my second son was a good-for-nothing, dandy, and lazy, but I didn’t expect that the disaster last year was actually related to him...

But it is useless to say more now. Sun Jian is dead, but the accomplice who helped Sun Jian steal the tribute is still there!

Mrs. Sun gritted her teeth and thought, and beat Jiang again almost desperately. Jiang endured it silently without saying a word, and her tears fell as if they were broken.

Liu Wei didn't know those past events, she just watched them fighting and making trouble, and couldn't help but feel disappointed. She was investigating the key for the current murder case. What kind of tribute was missing, and what did it have to do with her?

Turning her head, she wanted to ask Wanshi what else she knew, but she inadvertently glanced at Wanshi and saw a faint smile on Wanshi's face.

In a flash, when she looked again, Wan was still the wealthy lady who fell to the ground and was frightened by her beating.

But Liu Wei knew that she was right. He beat Wanshi, wiped her face, and even broke her fingers. Wanshi was afraid of her and cowered like a quail, but she was just afraid and did not dare to glare at her. , I dare not hate her, but she treats Jiang...

Wan's smile just now was facing Jiang's direction... Does she hate Jiang? Why? What grudges do these two have?

Liu Wei began to feel that this case was not that simple anymore, and that the Sun family was much more complicated than she initially thought.

A Jiang who smells completely different from her daughter.

Wan, who looks big and incompetent, secretly hates her second daughter-in-law's sister-in-law, who was rounded and squashed by her husband's family.

These two young ladies seem to have a lot to hide.

And just now, Mrs. Wan obviously couldn’t be summoned, so why did Ms. Jiang come out in person?

What did they say? What does Wan think of Jiang?

Sun Tong and the Wan family, Sun Jian and the Jiang family... and the dyeing shop where the two cases took place?

Dyeing House, Wanhua Guiyuan, are these two related? Why did Wan want to expose Jiang at this moment? Why are we talking about the theft of tributes that happened last year now?
