"...I, I stole my grandmother's jewelry. When she found out, she followed me to the dock..." The third young master lowered his head and said softly.

"What! You, you stole your grandmother's things!" the second master shouted.

"That's enough," the master interrupted again.

Then he turned around and said to the older boy kneeling there, "Ah Cheng, tell me from the beginning, why did you steal things?"

"It's all Du San's fault! They teamed up to cheat me," the third young master raised his head and explained hastily.

"I... they said that Xiaorong from Dushanban was pregnant with my child, and asked me to find a way to raise money... But, but the child is not mine at all, they lied to me!"

"How do you know it's not yours?" Qin Qiong couldn't help but interrupt.

"Yes...Xiaorong told me..." The young master lowered his head.

"Go on, tell me, Du San lied to you, what happened next?" The master looked at Qin Qiong and asked again.

"They, they asked me to find money to redeem Xiaorong. But, but I don't have that much money. So they told me... to steal things from our cargo team..."

"What!" Liu screamed.

"They...they said that it's ours anyway, so if I take it...it's not considered stealing." The young master's voice lowered.

Ah, Young Master Cheng! Qin Qiong rolled his eyes.

"...I stole twice...but they said it was not enough. They forced me to take it again. But this time when I waited for the cargo team to enter the warehouse, I didn't expect...there was nothing in the cargo box. It was...there was a person! So I didn't take anything."

Hearing this, several people in the room stood up.

"......At this time, Xiao Rong came to me and said that Du San and his friends had deceived me. The child was not mine at all...She wanted to escape and begged me to help her."

"I thought she had helped me before, so I wanted to help her once, so I promised to give her some money so that they could run away. But at that time, I didn't get anything from the pile of goods."

"I had no choice... I, I couldn't go back on my word and just steal my grandmother's jewelry..."

"But I didn't expect that my grandmother found out. She secretly followed me to the dock... and saw..." The young master's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

"She asked Xiaorong and the others to explain everything clearly. She also asked them to swear that they would never come back here. She asked me to send them off first. She said...she said she would go for a walk by herself...so I left first. I saw that my grandmother was very angry, so..."

"But I didn't expect that grandma never came back. I went to look for her the next day and saw that she was injured. I also saw Du San's hat at the dock. I thought it was Du San and his men who did it, so I went to look for them to avenge grandma!"

The young master said with a sniffle in anger.

"But, but I didn't expect that when I got there, I saw two people knocking down Du San and his men. I hid, and before I could figure out what was going on, those two people killed Du San and his men!"

"what!"

"Yes, he was really killed!" Master Acheng raised his head and said affirmatively: "I was scared and ran back. But a few days later, when I went out to get medicine for my grandmother, I was blocked by the big man. He asked me if my grandmother was injured at the small pier by the river. I didn't tell him, so he said he knew and asked me if I saw how Du San and the others died. I said I didn't know."

The third young master spoke faster and faster.

"Then, he said that it would be better for grandma not to wake up. If she woke up, he would have to kill our whole family. I was so scared that I wanted to go to the government to file a complaint, but, I didn't expect that when I got there, the treasurer, Lord Hong, was sending guests out."

"I saw that they were the two murderers. Lord Hong even called them Lords, I..."

"I didn't dare go in... Grandma hasn't woken up these days, and they haven't come to look for me. But... Grandma woke up last night, and today the servant outside the door brought me a basket. He said it was snacks ordered for me by Mr. Du."

The third young master started crying again: "Du San, Du San and the others died a long time ago, I saw it. I knew it was those two people who came, I, I don’t know what to do... Wow! What should I do! Uncle!"

Everyone was stunned. Qin Qiong saw the master clench his fist tightly.

"Then what is this?" Qin Qiong asked, pointing at the powder at the young master's feet.

"This, this is what's in the basket that was delivered." The third young master lowered his head again.

"What are you doing with it, Ti Lan? What do you want to do with it?" Qin Qiong suddenly raised his voice.

It’s not Qin Qiong who is angry, really!

Qin Qiong could understand this fool, but the little girl refused to accept it. Her big eyes were now one-third of her face.

so cute!

Therefore, Qin Qiong must stand on the side of the little Lolita and denounce this "bad silver" together.

"No, no, I didn't want to do anything! It's just that I didn't know what to do, so I came here..." The young master waved his hands and explained.

"Are you sure that you heard Lord Hong call those two people 'Lords'?" After pondering for a while, the master asked, "If you see those two people again, can you recognize them?"

"Yes, I heard it right. I recognized one of them, the great general who came to our house with Lord Hong a few days ago."

"What! Oh my God!...You, you rebellious son!" The second master finally understood at this time.

"Master Pei...came from the capital," the master muttered silently.

At this moment, Qin Qiong suddenly turned his head and looked at the old lady on the bed, because the little Loli gave him a clear little excitement.

The old lady, who had been motionless, seemed to move.

No, Qin Qiong said with certainty that the old lady had moved.

First the fingers, then the eyes slowly opened.

"Grandma!" Qin Qiong rushed to the bed.

"mother!"

"Mother!"

"Grandma!" Everyone rushed over at once.

The old man first tried to open his eyes, then closed them and raised his hands. The adults quickly quieted down.

"Twenty-four...a noble person...needs to be saved." The old man struggled to say a few words and then fell into a deep sleep again.

Everyone looked at each other and stood there in a daze for a moment.

Finally, everyone turned their eyes to the master, who lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Suddenly, the eldest master turned around and asked the third young master: "Ah Cheng, you just said that you went to our pile of goods and saw people among the goods?"

"Ah? Yes, when I... went to get and steal the goods, I found that there was no goods in one of the boxes and there seemed to be a person inside."

"What day was that? Do you remember that batch of goods?"

"On the eighth day of last month... I felt a little... anyway, it was when the cargo team came back from Shangjing."

"Do you remember which box it was? Our large cargo boxes are all labeled. Do you remember which box it was?"

"It seems... it's the fourth one. I didn't see it clearly, but I touched it. I remember the characters engraved on it were very flat. Yes, it's the fourth one," the third young master said anxiously.

"Brother! What do you mean?" The second master looked at the eldest master in surprise.

The eldest master waved his hand, turned around and said to everyone, "Second son's wife, take Ah Cheng back to your room. Don't let him come out, and don't let others see him, understand."

"Yes, yes, okay, okay," Mrs. Liu nodded nervously.

"Today is the 23rd. Second brother, go to the warehouse. Don't alert anyone else. Check what happened to the cargo team that has just returned from Shangjing or is about to go to Shangjing. Remember, only ask the people below. Do you understand? I will be there later. Go quickly!"

"I understand, brother."

The second master nodded, turned around and walked out without even looking at his wife and son.

Seeing the second master leave, the eldest master turned to the eldest lady and whispered, "Go out and ask the doctors to come in and tell them that the old lady is not doing well again... Don't just invite one, invite several, but only let Doctor Zhao from Lucaotang feel your mother's pulse, and let the others prescribe medicine. Do you understand?"

The eldest lady nodded, holding back tears in her eyes, then covered her mouth and walked out.

Awesome! Qin Qiong sincerely admires this uncle!

Such brains, such decisiveness! This is the posture of a great hero!
