This time, Xiao Liulang was taken away by the staff of Huichuntang without even entering the door of the study. After that, he went directly to Huichuntang to get medicine. The whole Huichuntang can testify, and naturally no one doubted him.
Gu Dashun was different. Someone saw him go up to the second floor with his own eyes, and the owner's wing was also on the second floor.
At that time, the owner happened to go out, and there was no one on the second floor except Gu Dashun.
Anyone who has been to the study room knows that the second floor is the private room of the nobles except for the account room, and it is not open to everyone. It is reasonable to say that students from poor families like Gu Dashun should not appear on the second floor.
Gu Dashun shouted that he was wronged: "There is a master who asked me to pick a few books to send to him! He said he wanted to talk about poetry with me!"
Gu Dashun is also an ambitious student. He knew very early that his status as a scholar would bring many conveniences to his future, and even some people would come to make friends with him, so he did not doubt it at the time.
"Who is the master you're talking about? Call him out!" said the person from the study.
Gu Dashun said anxiously, "He was no longer there when I went upstairs!"
"Which of you... have you seen any master?" the person in the study asked everyone.
Everyone shook their heads.
They can only notice Gu Dashun, because Gu Dashun wears the uniform of Tianxiang Academy, and the students of Tianxiang Academy are very eye-catching wherever they are.
The conversation between Gu Dashun and the master happened on his way out of Gong, and there were no witnesses on that part of the way.
Therefore, everyone only saw Gu Dashun carrying the book up to the second floor, but did not see Gu Dashun being invited.
This is deadly.
The servant who lost the owner said: "I didn't expect that the students of Tianxiang Academy would do such a dirty thing. There are very valuable things in my son's baggage. If you take away my son's silver note, you can ignore it, but You must return that letter! Otherwise, we will report it to the official!"
Gu Dashun was wronged and died, and the only solution for now is to find the master, but the other party seems to have evaporated from the world and can't be found.
Gu Dashun had an idea: "You said I stole something, where is the stolen goods? I will never eat it!"
The general manager narrowed his eyes: "Go to his house to search!"
Gu Dashun is not worried about his search, he is not afraid of shadows, even if his house is turned upside down, there will be no stolen goods!
As a result, Gu Dashun was slapped in the face.
When the catchers rushed into Gu's house, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu had just arrived home and were digging a hole in the backyard to bury the money.
The catchers quickly recognized that these were the official silver that was lost by the owner.
In Gu Jiao's dream, Xiao Liulang judged from the footprints on the grass in the backyard and the outer wall that the murderer climbed in through the window, committed the crime independently, and was six feet tall. The right footprint is deeper than the left footprint. It is speculated that the murderer's left foot has a slight lameness, but it is not serious. Otherwise, he can't stand on the second floor of the wall, and the murderer has certain skills.
A small gravel mixed with lime and sandalwood remained in some of the footprints at the crime scene. This is a gravel road only available in casinos, and was originally used to ward off evil spirits.
Therefore, the thief is either a gambling man or a gambler. Sooner or later, he will go to the gambling house near the market after taking the money.
Gu Jiao only had to stay on the only way to the market.
It's a pity that Gu Dashun is not Xiao Liulang. He can't solve the case and prove his innocence.
"Oops." In the account room of Huichuntang, the second owner was drinking tea leisurely, looking very happy.
Shopkeeper Wang sneered at him and said, "You are so happy when you cheat someone?"
That's right, the second owner is the mysterious master who fooled Gu Dashun into the second floor.
Er Dongjia stretched out three fingers with a smile: "It's not one, it's three."
Shopkeeper Wang shuddered: "That girl's heart is so cruel, she doesn't even blink her eyes when she thinks of her own family. When working with this kind of person, shouldn't we... be more careful?"
The second owner looked at the endlessly flowing streets: "What do you know? If you haven't experienced other people's pain, don't easily persuade others to be kind."
Shopkeeper Wang didn't quite understand what he said. Although he was a subordinate of Er Dong's family, he didn't know much about Er Dong's family. He only knew that he was the direct son of the Hu family, but he didn't seem to be highly regarded by the old man.
Er Dongjia smiled lightly and took a sip of tea: "I really like this girl more and more."
—
Because this matter had nothing to do with Xiao Liulang himself, Xiao Liulang didn't inquire too much. He only knew that Gu Dashun stole something. As for who stole it and what he stole, he had no idea.
However, whether he went to the study room, the dean still called him to Zhongzheng Hall to learn about Gu Dashun's situation.
"When you went to the study, did you see Gu Dashun?" the dean asked.
Xiao Liulang said: "I saw it, but I left at four o'clock in the afternoon to go to Huichuntang, and I don't know what happened after that."
This is true.
The dean paused, then said, "Then did you see Gu Dashun talking to someone in the backyard?"
Xiao Liulang shook his head: "I didn't go to the backyard."
The dean pressed his eyebrows with a headache: "Okay, I understand, you go back to the classroom first."
Xiao Liulang turned around and left. Just as he reached the door, the dean said again, "Do you think Gu Dashun can really steal?"
Xiao Liulang said indifferently: "This, it seems that it is not me who has the final say."
Yes, the owner has been reported to the official, the yamen has already filed a case, and there is evidence for theft or not, but all the evidence points to watching Gu Dashun...
After Xiao Liulang left the Zhongzheng Hall, he was called by Master Chen from the Tianzi Jia class to ask questions. After Master Chen asked, Master Zhang from his own class also asked him for questions, and most of them asked him about Gu Dashun's situation.
After so much tossing, it was getting late.
The heavy snow fell one after another.
It really snowed.
Xiao Liulang looked at the colorful sky of Xueluo, and walked towards the door of the academy. As soon as he came out, he saw a thin and small figure.
Wearing a small apricot-colored floral jacket, carrying a small backpack, bowing his head, and playing with the small stones on the ground with his feet, he looks a little cute.
Xiao Liulang's eyes moved slightly, and he walked over with a cane.
Gu Jiao saw him and smiled slightly: "School is over?"
"Um."
Thinking of something, Gu Jiao said, "I can't wait for you just now, so I asked Uncle Luo and Xiao Shun to go back first."
"It's okay, I'll hire a car." Xiao Liulang said.
Gu Jiao gently pulled a little of his sleeve with her soft fingertips: "It's snowing heavily, it's not safe to drive, find an inn to stay for one night."
Xiao Liulang looked at the light-white fingertips on his sleeve: "...Okay."
Xu Xinian was approaching, and the inns were full. The two asked several times before finally finding an inn that they could stay in.
Xiao Liulang said: "Come to two guest rooms."
Xiao Er said: "Guest officer, there is only one room left."
Can't live? Can't live? Can't live
