In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Wang Wu's wife and Aunt Zhou met on the road.
Both of them went to work in small restaurants.
Aunt Zhou smiled and said: "Our boss is a good-tempered person, as long as she does things well, she is very kind."
This made Wang Wu's daughter-in-law feel more at ease.
When the two came to the small restaurant together, they saw that the door was already half open, and the owner was busy inside.
Wang Wu's daughter-in-law is also a diligent person, and she can quickly start doing simple tasks.
Around four o'clock in the morning, the butcher came again with dozens of catties of fresh pork and chicken.
There are also some eggs that are brought along, all collected from farmers.
In the past, when he came to deliver things, the butcher could do it alone, but now he has to bring his apprentice to move things.
But the money earned is also considerable.
Su Tang saw that someone was coming, and responded with a smile: "A little while, I'll go get the money."
The butcher sat down on the stool with the little apprentice and waited, curiously said: "After the renovation, it looks much more spacious and there are more places."
"Who says it's not? The boss's idea is really ingenious." Aunt Zhou replied.
After finishing the words, I saw Su Tang coming from behind with a livid face and empty hands.
Seeing that her situation was quite different from before, everyone was stunned.
"What's the matter? What happened?"
Su Tang frowned and said, "All my silver is gone, not a single copper plate is left."
Oh my god, this turned out to be a house burglarized!
The butcher became angry when he thought about it: "It's all a job of working from dawn to dusk, where did the black-hearted little thief come from!"
After finishing speaking, the butcher said again: "It's good to owe the money today, and it's not too late to pay the master when he has money someday."
To be honest, for such a long-term transaction, the butcher is the least afraid of defaulting.
Su Tang listened and thanked again and again.
What is it all about.
The movement on their side awakened Grandma Su, and Grandma Su pretended to be surprised when she heard about it: "What? There was a thief at home!"
Everyone doesn't like this person, and they don't bother to talk to her.
When the butcher brought his apprentice back, he was still telling Su Tang that he should go to the yamen to report the crime after dawn, maybe he could find the thief.
When this happened, the atmosphere in the small restaurant became gloomy.
Wang Wu's daughter-in-law didn't expect this to happen when she first came to work.
But everyone didn't stop their money, so they had to do more work and earn more money today to make up for the shortfall.
When the guests came to buy breakfast, they were amazed at how well the restaurant was repaired.
Then seeing the faces of the three people in the small restaurant, I couldn't help asking a few more questions.
Especially when Wang Wu came, he came here first to eat breakfast, and second to see his wife.
"What's the matter with you? Why are you frowning? The small restaurant is so well built, why worry?"
Fifth Wang's daughter-in-law sighed: "Just this morning, my boss had to pay for the meat, and who knew that the house had been burglarized!"
This said, the guests present were shocked!
Which family's thief is here to steal money from this girl's house!
He was only sixteen, so if he were placed in other families, that would still be the age for having fun.
This evil heart is too cruel.
Su Tang smiled wryly: "I didn't give you the money to buy meat today, and the money bag was stolen."
Many guests present were shocked.
Oh my god, this is too tragic. If a thief stole all the money from his house, what a disaster it would be.
Ms. Su's house has just been repaired, and her already tense life is now even more difficult.
"Must report to the official!"
"Yes, report to the police! Find that little thief!"
"Everyone has it, and the person who steals must be black-hearted!"
"Miss Su, please report to the officer!"
"Stole something from your house, really."
Grandmother Su who was next to her had a very ugly face when she heard this, she really wants to report to the police, right
Not much silver either.
Is this worth reporting to the police
Wang Wu's daughter-in-law said: "Yes, Master, why don't you let my man report to the police, he will be fine now."
Wang Wu nodded quickly.
Hearing this, Grandma Su immediately said: "Who knows if you stole the money? In the past, the family was fine. If you come today, the money will be lost!"
Wang Wu's daughter-in-law is also a violent temper, can she be framed like this
As the two quarreled, more people gathered around.
Qi Tianyun and Shi Ding who came back from a business trip saw such a scene.
The two of them came back and ran to the breakfast shop tacitly.
Want to soothe and soothe my stomach.
And Qi Tianyun not only thought about the snacks here, but also wanted to see how the little girl was doing now.
But as soon as I came here, I encountered such a messy scene.
Seeing more and more people watching.
Su Tang said directly: "I believe in Wang Wu's daughter-in-law very much. She is straightforward and only works in the kitchen and shop. It cannot be done by her. Then report to the official."
Hearing this, Grandma Su became anxious.
She just said it casually just now, just wanting to disgust Wang Wu's wife, but how can Su Tang really report it to the official.
She originally thought that there wouldn't be such a big fuss, but now she can't stop it
Grandma Su had no choice but to pull Su Tang and wink at her: "Let's go, let's discuss our family matters."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Grandmother Su dragged Su Tang away.
Those who remained were somewhat puzzled.
And Grandmother Su and Su Tang walked to the back, Grandmother Su said: "I originally planned to talk to you at noon, but who would have thought that you would report to the authorities."
Su Tang pretended to be surprised: "What's wrong? What does grandma know?"
"Oh, yesterday you accidentally dropped the money bag in the yard, and your cousin picked it up. I will keep it with me. I will keep it for you. Don't worry, you won't lose it." Just think of a good speech.
After all, she is Su Tang's elder. The elder picked up the junior's money bag and naturally helped her keep it. What's wrong with that
Even if the reputation is not good, the money is with her.
She saw the silver hairpin that Su Tang bought, it was so beautiful, she would definitely take it back and give it to her grandson to marry a wife.
Grandmother Su had thought that Su Tang would get angry, but it was useless to get angry.
The family ugliness cannot be publicized, and her grandmother keeps the money bag, so she can really report to the official.
Even if she was justified, if she went to court and her granddaughter sued her grandmother, her reputation would be damaged.
The corner of Su Tang's mouth ticked: "I didn't hear what grandma said."
Grandma Su was puzzled, and said, "I said your money is with me."
"What? Grandma said it's best to report to the official? Okay, granddaughter will report to the official now." Su Tang pretended not to know anything, even if she heard what Grandma Su said, she still didn't know.
She didn't know who the thief was, so she just sued the officials.
Grandmother Su froze in place, not understanding what Su Tang was going to do.
When Su Tang walked outside, he said to the fifty or sixty guests who were watching outside: "Grandma won't let me report to the police, and I don't know why. But I thought, since I lost something at home, I would naturally let the people from the government office It's handled well. We live in the imperial city, can't we seek justice?"
When Su Tang said this, everyone immediately applauded!
She was right!
They are from the imperial city! That's at the feet of the emperor, and he must be able to seek justice!
Su Tang said again: "Thank you for helping me out, otherwise I don't know what to do. Today's breakfast is free. Everyone queues up to get it. One bowl of porridge and two buns per person. If there are too many, I won't give it."
Wow, they are just helping out, and they can have free breakfast.
You must know that Ms. Su's breakfast at her house is very popular!
Qi Tianyun at the side looked at the smiling Su Tang, a little amused in his heart, and said to Shi Ding: "Go, take my token and urge the people in the government office."
Shi Ding:! ! ! You, a Marquis, went to urge people from the government office to come to do business, so there is nothing to say, let alone only lost a few taels of silver, even if you lost a few pennies, you must have come here by running.
Sure enough, within less than a stick of incense, the officials from Xicheng rode over, followed by Mr. Yin Pei of the capital.
All the breakfast in the store has been sent out.
But there are still many people who stayed to watch the excitement.
Among the onlookers, there are people who know Mr. Pei, this is a third-rank official in charge of the capital!
For a few taels of silver, you actually came here in person
Not to mention other people, even Su Tang was a little surprised.
Knowing everyone's doubts, Pei Fu Yin coughed lightly: "This Fu Yin passed by here, just asked casually, he didn't come here on purpose."
Oh no wonder.
Su Tang suppressed his doubts, and said respectfully: "Master Fu Yin is sympathetic to the people's sentiments, which is really a blessing for all people."
Yin Fu Yin stroked his beard happily, although he only came here because he saw Lord Hou's badge.
But, who doesn't like to hear compliments.
What, Governor
Or the governor of the capital
Grandmother Su never imagined that she just let her little grandson take the granddaughter's purse, so she would attract Mr. Fuyin.
And there are so many policemen with knives around you!
how so.
How dare Su Tang do this!
When the police were about to investigate the case, they saw Grandma Su thumped and slumped on the ground.
It turned out that his legs were weak from fright.
Her appearance at this time is really weird, even the most insensitive person can see the strangeness.
Mr. Pei Fu Yin was also a third-rank member, his eyes were fixed.
The head catcher next to Fu Yin said sharply: "Who are you! Seeing your shrinking eyes, you are frightened, but you know something!"
Ruined.
Did you find out!
Grandmother Su was just a village woman, how could she survive such intimidation, she quickly took out the stolen purse and hairpin like beans in a bamboo tube.
"Master Qingtian, I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't do it on purpose."
"I took my granddaughter's money, so it's not considered stealing."
As soon as these words came out, even Fu Yin Pei frowned slightly.
Even if filial piety is extremely important in this dynasty, does such an elder still respect her
But that granddaughter is really wrong. My grandmother took the money, so why not report it to the government
Su Tang stood up immediately, with tears in her eyes, sobbing softly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know that grandma took the money, I shouldn't have reported it to the authorities."
"When I gave money to the meat today, I only knew that the money and the hairpin were lost, but I didn't know that it was grandma who wanted to use them."
"It's just that the hairpin was bought by the little girl for her deceased mother. When I was a child, my mother had a silver hairpin. She loved it very much. But when I was sick, I pawned it off to pay for the medicine."
"Now that I can earn some money, I want to buy a better silver hairpin. Although my mother can't wear it, I have to enshrine it in front of my mother's tablet to make my mother happy."
"I really don't know that it was my grandmother who took it. If I knew, I would definitely not report it to the officials. I hope that Lord Fuyin will show mercy and spare my grandmother."
Seeing the expressions of the surrounding audience and Fu Yin Pei, Su Tang knew that she had succeeded.
Fight magic with magic.
Use filial piety to deal with filial piety.
success!
