Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!
Chapter 17: If they find my money pouch, you'll become my concubine.
"Hehe, I'm really sorry, Lord Shen, it seems you have to leave the Zhenye Division today." Zhang Zhong was quite smug. He walked to Long Aotian's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "How about this, for the sake of our past brotherhood, if you're willing to divorce your wife, I'll plead with Lord Lin to let you stay in the Zhenye Division. What do you say?"
"If you were my brother, you wouldn't say such a thing," Long Aotian said dismissively. "We've severed all ties. Take your filthy hands off me!"
"Pah!" Zhang Zhong scoffed. "What are you pretending for when you're about to die?!"
Shi Mingxiang naturally didn't believe that her younger sister would steal her purse.
Before going to the town's night watchman, she had already asked everyone in her family.
But no one admitted that she went to the town's night watchman to report.
At the time, the younger brother did not mention seeing his sister enter her room in the middle of the night.
"Uncle, why have you never mentioned this before?" Shi Mingxiang asked.
"I'm only doing this to save face for you, sister-in-law. After all, this isn't something to be proud of..."
"Pah!" Shi Yiguang glared at the man. "What exactly is your intention in slandering me like this?!"
"You dare say you didn't take the purse?"
"of course not!"
"What would you do if it were found in your room?"
“Whatever you say goes!” Shi Yiguang replied without hesitation.
"Good!" The man seemed excited, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth turning up. "If this purse is found in your room, then you'll have to marry me as my concubine, how about it?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present thought the guy was shameless.
He's a lazy, good-for-nothing who lives off his parents. Shi Yiguang is so beautiful, why should he become her concubine?
“Okay, what if I don’t have this purse in my room?” Shi Yiguang asked in return.
"Whatever you say, that's fine!"
“Fine, if I don’t find the purse in my room, I’ll make sure your older brother divorces my sister!” Shi Yiguang’s gaze was firm.
"This……"
The man suddenly turned off the engine; he hadn't expected Shi Yiguang to say that.
After all, he couldn't possibly make decisions about his own brother's marriage.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, the drunken man started talking nonsense and shouted, "No problem, I have to divorce this stinking woman!"
“Okay, let’s do it that way!” Shi Yiguang was very confident.
"Okay, you said it yourself." The younger brother smiled slightly and agreed.
But Long Aotian, standing to the side, seemed to smell a conspiracy...
"Little sister, this isn't right..." Shi Mingxiang said worriedly, holding her younger sister's arm. "What if..."
"Don't worry, sister. I, Shi Yiguang, have done nothing wrong, so I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door!"
At this moment, Jiang Beichuan, whom Long Aotian had just sent out to check the footprints, also re-entered through the courtyard gate and came to his side.
"grown ups."
"How about it?"
"No, as you said, I looked all around and didn't find any footprints," Kitagawa replied softly.
"Hiss... Damn it, this is bad..." Long Aotian gasped, immediately realizing that something was wrong.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Liu San led his men out of the room on the left, carrying a brown money bag about the size of a palm, but it was completely empty, as flat as could be.
"This, this is impossible..." Shi Yiguang frowned slightly, his handsome face becoming very serious.
"The money bag is here, what else do you have to say?" Liu San was very proud. He took the money bag and walked to the two Shi sisters, handing it to the elder sister, Shi Mingxiang, for identification.
“This, this is indeed my purse…” Shi Mingxiang held the purse, quite shocked.
"Sister, it wasn't me..." Shi Yiguang quickly defended herself, "I didn't take it..."
"Hahahaha!" The younger brother laughed loudly. "Sister-in-law, did you see that? This is what your good sister did! I was thinking that we're all family, and it would be best not to tear each other apart, but look what happened... Sigh..."
"I knew it! She looks like a vixen!" the old woman chimed in. "She's definitely not a good person!"
"Shi Yiguang, what else do you have to say?" Liu San rubbed his hands together, a wicked smile on his face, and grabbed her wrist. "Little lady, come with me to the Black Prison, and we'll talk slowly~"
"Hey, what are you doing?" Jiang Beichuan pressed the knife in his left hand against Liu San's hand.
"Damn it, Jiang Beichuan, who do you think you are?" Liu San roared. "You've obstructed me time and time again. She's a thief now, it's only right that I arrest her! If you stop me again, you'll be sorry!"
"you……"
"Kitagawa, step back."
"Sir, the matter is not yet clear, we cannot be so hasty!"
"I said, step back."
Although Jiang Beichuan was unwilling, he still silently stepped aside.
"Hehe, as expected, Lord Shen is indeed a wise man." Liu San looked at Long Aotian and laughed.
As he reached out to grab it, Long Aotian stepped forward. Liu San immediately frowned, released his hand with obvious disgust, and said, "Lord Shen, what are you doing? Don't tell me you know we found the money bag and you're about to be kicked out of the Zhenye Division, so you're trying to twist the truth?"
Long Aotian shrugged. "Haha, nothing of the sort. It's just that the time hasn't come yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
"We have both witnesses and physical evidence, what else do you want?" Liu San said impatiently.
After all, now that the purse has been found and the man's younger brother is a witness, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's a certainty that Shi Yiguang is the beautiful thief. Once she's in the dark prison, wouldn't her beautiful buddies provide a feast for their eyes?
"Liu San, half an hour has already passed. You wouldn't refuse to give me even the remaining half hour, would you?" Long Aotian threatened.
“Alright, Liu San, what’s wrong with giving Lord Shen another half an hour?” Zhang Zhong stepped forward and said disdainfully, “I’d like to see what else this fellow can find out!”
Liu San flung his hand away and stepped back with a disdainful look on his face.
On the surface, Long Aotian appeared calm and composed, but in reality, he was in a state of panic.
Sure enough, beautiful women all lie!
If Shi Yiguang is actually a beautiful thief, then he really won't have any chance at all!
but……
Judging from the conversation between Shi Yiguang and the man's younger brother, there are indeed some suspicious points in this matter.
Long Aotian knew the situation was extremely urgent, so he first summoned Beichuan and had everyone except Shi Mingxiang's drunk husband go into a room alone to wait for his questioning.
He closed his eyes to rest, intending to see if he could find any useful clues from Shen Congxin's memories.
After all, this happened in his jurisdiction, and he has been the chief inspector for quite some time, so he should know a thing or two about the people living here...
