Chapter 247 Catching the Thief Personally
"After listening to me, he supported my decision very much. He also said that Wanzhuanglou is now very famous in the capital. Only if I make a big fuss about this matter can I teach Wanzhuanglou a lesson, and then their boss and Mr. Wang will give me a generous compensation."
"This is what happened. I didn't know he had stolen the skin care products because he said his uncle was very rich. I thought he got the money from his uncle and bought it for me as a gift."
"If I knew this thing had an unknown origin, I would never have come to the capital to cause trouble!"
As Widow Yang spoke, she began to sob.
Qin Lizheng was furious and said with a look of disappointment: "The villagers of our Guihua Village have always been kind, honest and kind. How could someone as immoral as you appear?"
"It's only been a short time since your husband died, and you have two children at home. You dare to bring home a man you picked up on the street? Aren't you afraid that he will cheat you of your money and sex?"
Widow Yang lowered her head and dared not speak.
If Ji Yuntang still had doubts about someone before, now she was basically certain that the person she suspected was the same person that Widow Yang was talking about.
She asked Widow Yang, "Is the man you are talking about surnamed Zhu and given name Mian?"
Widow Yang was slightly startled, with a look of surprise on her face as she said, "That's not right. I saw his name written on the paper was Zhu Tuli, and I have always called him Ali."
Ji Yuntang: "..."
Zhu Mian, Zhu Tuli?
Is this what she meant by being the most learned person in the village?
It is confirmed that Widow Yang can read a little, but not much.
Wang Sheng said silently, "Princess, it's not her fault. When Zhu Mian was working at the cloth shop, he often made typos and caused a lot of blunders. The shopkeeper often talked about him about this."
Widow Yang also noticed something was wrong at this time. She glanced at Ji Yuntang and then at Wang Sheng.
"Why do you all call him Zhu Mian? Do you know him?"
Ji Yuntang said lightly: "We only met once."
Zhu Mian originally framed Wang Sheng for theft in the cloth shop, but it was eventually discovered that he had staged this drama himself to put the blame on Wang Sheng so that Boss Zhu would kick Wang Sheng out of the cloth shop.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yuntang happened to pass by there, helped Wang Sheng clear his grievances, and exposed Zhu Mian's ulterior motives, causing him to be driven out by Boss Zhu.
It was also for this reason that Zhu Mian went from being a well-dressed young man to a homeless vagrant.
Because of this, he also hated Ji Yuntang and Wang Sheng.
This explanation makes sense!
Wang Sheng looked at Widow Yang with sympathy in his eyes.
"Aunt Yang, there's a good chance that you've been taken advantage of."
He didn't expect that Zhu Mian, that bastard, had been kicked out by Boss Zhu, but he still didn't repent and actually went to General Dingyuan's Mansion to steal.
Does this count as shooting oneself in the foot?
When Widow Yang heard this, she was instantly shocked.
"This is impossible. I have no grudge against you. Why would he use me?"
Ji Yuntang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Because you coveted him, and he also had something to gain from you, you both had thoughts about each other that you shouldn't have."
"When a person is sleepy, if someone brings a pillow to his door, do you think he will refuse it?"
Widow Yang didn't believe Zhu Mian would use her, and still said stubbornly: "He said he would marry me."
Ji Yuntang sneered: "Everyone has a mouth, who can't speak? He can say such words to you, which means he can also say such words to others."
"Besides, he is penniless now and has to rely on you to support him. What do you think he can afford to marry you?"
Widow Yang was speechless for a moment.
That's the truth, but she still has fantasies about Zhu Mian.
Ji Yuntang asked again: "Do you know where Zhu Mian is now?"
"When I came out, he was the one who sent me to the door. I also asked him to help me look after the kids at home. He should still be at my house now."
Because Zhu Mian was secretly hidden by her at home and could not see the light, he rarely came out during the day.
It was also for this reason that when Widow Yang asked Zhu Mian to help her with farm work, he said that he had no status and it was inconvenient for him to go out.
Although Widow Yang had no man, the two of them living together as a single man and a single woman would inevitably be gossiped about by the villagers.
Over time, Widow Yang raised Zhu Mian like a son.
Not only does he eat a lot, but he can't help at all.
However, she had no way to seek justice for this kind of thing and could only grit her teeth and swallow it.
Suddenly, Wang Sheng was puzzled: "That's not right. When I went to Aunt Yang's house today, I only saw two children crying because of hunger. I didn't see Zhu Mian at all."
Ji Yuntang's heart sank suddenly, and he reacted and said: "Oh no, the child is in danger, we have to go back quickly!"
Widow Yang's face changed slightly, and she looked at Ji Yuntang in surprise, wondering why she said that?
Ji Yuntang was too lazy to explain to her.
The reason why he thought so was because Ji Yuntang took one important point into consideration.
Zhu Mian used Widow Yang to cause trouble in Wanzhuang Tower, which means that he originally wanted Widow Yang to take the blame for him.
But now, after his theft from General Dingyuan's Mansion was exposed, the people in General Dingyuan's Mansion will definitely not let him go and will hunt him down throughout the city.
Given Zhu Mian's temperament, would he just surrender and wait for the officers to arrest him?
It is definitely impossible to agree.
And with the stolen money on him, he certainly couldn't escape from the capital.
If you want to escape unscathed at this time, you will inevitably have to take a vulnerable person as a hostage.
Then, the two children of Widow Yang are the most suitable candidates.
After considering this, Ji Yuntang immediately ordered: "Wang Sheng, go to the government office first to report to the authorities and have the officials lead people to search the city for Zhu Mian's whereabouts."
"This princess will go to Osmanthus Village in person to take a look."
After Ji Yuntang finished speaking, he looked at Widow Yang and said in a cold tone: "If you don't want your two children to be in danger, take me to Osmanthus Village."
Widow Yang didn't dare to refute, she just frowned and said nothing.
Ji Yuntang didn't care about her attitude and got in the carriage with her to Guihua Village.
Before they had gone far, Pei Zhiyi quickly caught up and jumped onto the carriage.
"Princess Ye, I will go with you."
"That little thief actually stole things from our Dingyuan General's Mansion. I must catch him today."
Ji Yuntang said softly: "For such a matter, why does Miss Pei need to do it herself? The officials in the capital should be able to catch the thief without any problem."
Pei Zhiyi sat down next to Ji Yuntang, smiled at her and said, "It's more challenging to catch the thief myself. I like it."
Her smile was very contagious, and it was kind and warm, so Ji Yuntang couldn't help but smile back at her.
