Chapter 97: Taking Advantage of the Situation
"Yes, I am a gambler and I owe a lot of money, so I came here to steal!" The gambler admitted it quickly.
"But you are not from this village, so who leaked this news to you?" Jiang Yu continued to interrupt him.
The bastard was stunned, touched his upper and lower lips together, and didn't know what to say. He probably didn't know how to argue.
After several seconds, he began to refute:
"It's because I know someone in Yangaoao that I know your family is rich."
"Oh~ There's someone I know in Yangao'ao, who is that person?"
I easily got the information out of him and thought he was so smart and clever.
This bastard just realized it and his face turned pale with regret.
“I…I…”
"How about this, if you don't want to talk, I'll beat you up, break one of your legs, and then send you to see the official. It's winter now, and it's going to snow soon. I'm sure the prison in the government office will be even colder and damper, and there will be all kinds of rats, insects and ants. For a thief like you, as long as you're still breathing, I believe the officials will not care about you. By then, you'll be covered in injuries, and I don't know if you can even get out of the government office.
Of course, there's another way. If you confess voluntarily, I'll take you to the authorities directly. I won't beat you, but I'll lock you up for a few months. If you come out safe and sound, our family won't suffer any loss, and we'll all be happy and there won't be any further accusations!"
Jiang Yu had never thought of abusing lynching. In Jin State, crimes had to be dealt with by the government, and abusing lynching was also illegal. He just wanted to scare him. This kind of gambler usually didn't have much brains and couldn't stand being scared.
Sure enough, when he listened to the first half of Jiang Yu's story, he was so scared that his teeth were chattering and his face was as white as a piece of paper. But when he listened to the second half, he seemed to see hope again.
"I took the initiative to say it, you really don't hit me"
"I won't hit you, but if you dare to play tricks, don't blame me for being rude. To be honest, I'm a martial artist, and I know exactly where it hurts the most!"
He was not talking nonsense. A martial artist's hits were usually harder and more painful than ordinary people.
"Okay, I'll tell you. It was an old man from your village. I don't know his last name. He came to me when I came out of the gambling house. He told me that your family is a business and has saved hundreds of taels of silver, which can help me out of my urgent need. And you are all common people, so you are easy to deal with. He also said that he would help me pave the way and he didn't want a penny of the stolen silver."
The little thief confessed everything, but he didn't know the man's name. A gambler who is forced into a corner and is easily misled by others will do anything for no reason.
"He also gave me a packet of knockout drugs and told me to climb over the wall in the middle of the night to knock you out and then steal the silver. But he also told me not to hurt you. I guess he poisoned your dog to death in advance."
"What does that person look like and what is his body shape?"
Hearing this, Su's father could no longer sit still and stepped forward to grab him by the collar.
"He was about the same height as you, a lot fatter than you, and about the same age. Although he was wearing a mask, I remember he had a black mole behind his ear. It was so small that you couldn't see it unless you looked closely!"
Hearing this description, Su's father was disheartened. Only those who were familiar with Village Chief He knew that he had a mole behind his ear.
"He, why did he do this? When did our family offend him?"
Father Su simply couldn't understand what the He family's motives were.
"It really is Lao He, this..." Su's mother was speechless. People have pointed fingers at her to this extent.
In other words, he came here specifically during the day just to poison Wangcai so that the thief could easily enter the yard and steal things at night.
"It seems like this has been planned for a long time. He even thought about the dog we have at home."
Su Wan felt very uncomfortable. She felt sorry for her Wangcai. Alas...
It seems that their family is not lucky enough to have a dog, otherwise why would they have to keep one after another?
It’s better not to commit sins in the future by raising small animals casually. Strangely enough, I don’t do that with chickens and rabbits.
"No, I have to go find him and ask him clearly to find out why this happened!" Father Su said as he was about to go out to find Village Chief He.
Seeing this, Su's mother quickly grabbed him, and Su Wan also ran over to pull him.
"No, it's late at night. Can we talk about it tomorrow?"
"Dad, let's not alert him. He won't admit it even if you ask him like this. We might as well take advantage of his tricks and see what he's up to!"
"Wanwan is right, Dad. I'm also curious about what Uncle He is up to."
Su Chen didn't understand. Their family and the He family had always been close, and the fathers of the two families had a good relationship. They had helped them a lot in the past. Why did they not like seeing their family doing well?
I just can't see how good their family is.
Father Su calmed down and looked at his daughter. After thinking about it, she was right.
"Wanwan, how do you turn the tables?"
Su Wan pulled him to sit down again and began to tell him his plan:
"Well, before daybreak, you and Jiang Yu will take this thief to the authorities. Don't let anyone see us. Then, we'll spread the word that someone stole something from our house. This will, firstly, expose the person's true intentions, and he'll be eager to come and verify the facts. Secondly, our family has been attracting attention lately, so it's better to let people know that the silver is missing so that no one will worry about it anymore!"
When the time comes, Village Chief He will hear that his plan has succeeded and will surely come to verify it impatiently.
Su Wan guessed that he would definitely send money over and then tell him his purpose.
Without the money, Su Jing's money for the exam would also be gone. Nothing could be more important than his taking the exam. At that time, the Su family would have to accept his warmth.
"Just do as Wanwan said. I think this is a good idea." Jiang Yu stood up and was the first to support her.
"Then how should we act?" Su's mother was still at a loss.
So, Su Wan began to plan and tell everyone how to perform.
She was describing the situation vividly, and Su's father and mother were stunned. Perhaps they should take the initiative to spread the news.
There are also the two brothers Su Yun and Su Yi. When they wake up, we must greet them properly and don't let the secret slip.
Seeing her little look, Jiang Yu couldn't help but find it funny. He didn't participate, but just listened with interest with his arms folded.
I thought to myself, this little girl is very cunning and smart.
Finally, they worked out a plan. Tomorrow morning, Su's father would take the initiative to go to the He family to complain and tell them that their house had been robbed. He would also say that the thief had not been caught and had run away, and ask Village Chief He to help him catch the thief.
Then they faked a scene where the house was robbed, and they had to act it out realistically.
