Si Jinxing looked at Si Junshan who suddenly appeared in the firewood yard, and then looked around at the dozen or so servants holding torches!
She knew that General Si had finally understood the tactics used in the mansion.
As a general who led tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield and was well-versed in military books, he was certainly not stupid!
But what can I do? I always thought that my home was peaceful on the surface!
Si Junshan saw his daughter looking at him and was about to say something.
But he saw her eyes sweeping over him. He opened his mouth, but forced himself to hold back the words.
The wooden door opened with a creak.
Mother Lin and Mrs. Mo walked out of the door together, and then stood still.
Si Junshan's eyes were as cold as ice. He looked at the two people in front of him wearily, with anger brewing in his eyes. He said:
"Madams, where are you going?"
Mother Lin had also adapted to the bright light at this time, and heard the general's low and cold voice again!
She hurriedly pulled back her hand that was on Mrs. Mo's arm.
She strode forward and knelt on the ground, saying confidently:
"General! In the evening, the old lady asked this old lady Mo to come over and talk to her!
Who knew that after she left, the old lady lost her purse!
The old servant then came over to check, and found that it was indeed this old thief who stole it!
I was just about to take her to confess her crime before the old lady!"
Si Jinxing glanced at Mother Lin. What she heard outside the window just now was not the same as this!
What a good way to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
She curled her lips into a smile, looked at Mrs. Mo, and said:
"Auntie Mo, what are you talking about? Are you the thief?"
When Mrs. Mo at the door heard this, her face turned pale. What was going on?
That purse is clearly...
She immediately knelt down, took a few steps forward, and explained:
"I didn't steal it. She clearly gave it to me just now!"
Si Junshan looked at her, frowned, and said:
"Why did she give you a purse? Where are you going?"
When Mrs. Mo heard this, she was stunned. Where were they going... She wanted to escape!
But can she say it?
Just as she was struggling, Mother Lin answered first:
"The silver in that purse is what the old lady prepared for the second young lady to use on the road. There are more than five hundred taels of silver!
How could I give it to a cunning slave for nothing?"
Qingchan stepped forward, felt around in Mrs. Mo's arms, and pulled out a bulging purse.
The purse was open, and there wasn't much change in it, but there was a neatly folded banknote!
Qing Chan took the silver note and spread it out in front of Si Jinxing, then let Si Junshan take a look at it, and finally put the silver note on the ground in front of Mo Pozi.
Although she was illiterate, she recognized the words on the banknote!
Hengtong Silver Bank, five hundred taels!
Mrs. Mo's body trembled. She only felt that there was a banknote in her purse, but she didn't know it was such a large denomination!
At this moment, she just felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
She looked at Mother Lin and said:
"You clearly gave it to me so I could use it after I escape!"
Mother Lin said with disdain:
"That's nonsense! When did I ever send you off?
Now that you are a criminal, where can you escape to? It's just a foolish dream! "
Mrs. Mo also realized at this time that Mother Lin had no intention of saving her at all.
Even... there is an additional crime to be charged!
At this moment, a cold female voice came:
"Do you think she just wants to charge you with theft?"
Mrs. Mo looked puzzled. She turned around and heard the cold-faced Second Young Lady continue to speak:
"You escaped with a huge sum of money, and she sent people to beat you to death in the name of catching a thief!
Finally, all the money will be recovered, and your life will end tonight!
And the matter of bribing the people to spread rumors was put to an end once and for all!
Mrs. Mo, do you think this is a good strategy?"
Mrs. Mo is just a country woman from the mountains. She has only worked in the western suburbs for a few years. How could she understand all these conspiracies and tricks?
She just felt cold all over and couldn't utter a word!
Mother Lin was furious and retorted with her neck stiffened:
"Second Miss, how could I do this? You are making things up and framing me!
Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the elders in the mansion by doing this?"
Si Junshan looked at her and said coldly, "Ling Su!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Su walked to the gate of the courtyard and clapped his hands. Four men who looked like thugs walked in one after another.
As soon as these four people came in, Mother Lin collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud.
She looked at Si Junshan in horror, her lips moving as she said, "Impossible... This is impossible!"
Si Junshan glanced down at Mother Lin and said:
"These four people hiding in the alley behind the door are the ones you hired to capture Mrs. Mo, right?"
Mother Lin's lips trembled and she couldn't utter a word.
Si Junshan exuded a chill all over his body at this moment. He looked at the four people and said:
"You say it yourself!"
Those four guys were used to being bullies on Siping Street. They would either rob a melon from one house or steal a chicken from another!
But now, standing in front of the famous general, they were already frightened by the majestic aura he exuded without even being angry.
One of the older ones lowered his head and whispered:
"It was that old woman who gave us brothers ten taels of silver and told us to guard the back door of the General's Mansion at night.
If you see a skinny, dark-skinned woman sneaking out, you’ll force her into the alley and beat her to death…”
Si Jinxing stood aside with his arms crossed, his eyes sweeping over the four people.
Earlier, Bai Xi reported Mother Lin's whereabouts to her.
She told Mo Qiu to act secretly and wait for the opportunity to arise, so as not to let that old lady Mo be killed by Mother Lin's men.
However, it was not as simple and crude as Si Junshan's move!
She vaguely felt that Si Junshan had changed a lot.
Yes, he had never had any suspicion about the rear house before, and was only focused on training soldiers and fighting.
Now that he has suffered a loss, he dare not underestimate the insidious tactics in the backyard anymore.
Unfortunately, the price is too high!
Si Jinxing sighed softly, and then heard Mother Lin roar:
"What are you talking about? I don't know you! I'm going to ask the old lady to make the decision for me!"
Si Junshan snorted coldly and said:
"Defaming the Second Young Lady, spreading rumors, framing someone, and hiring someone to kill someone—such a serious crime!
A wicked thief like you, do you still think your master can protect you now?"
At this moment, Mrs. Mo finally saw the reality clearly and pointed at Mother Lin and shouted angrily:
"You old thief, I trusted you so much, but you're pretending to help me, and you're really trying to kill me!"
She glanced at Si Jinxing, finally wiped the tears from her face, kowtowed to Si Junshan, and said:
"If I tell you the truth, will the general show some mercy?"
