Chapter 395 Interrogation
"Where did you get it? It's so fresh, there's still dirt on the roots!"
Jiang Youzhen said calmly, "This was just collected two days ago. I was planning to ask the doctor at the clinic to prepare it and give it to the teacher to nourish his body."
Doctor Lu sighed when he heard this, "You are really filial."
Kong's expression eased a lot. No matter what, Jiang Youzhen had spent a lot of money on the master. Just as the master said, the child's character was excellent, which proved that he was not wrong.
Even before the ceremony of becoming a disciple, he already regarded the master as his own teacher. He was busy running around, contributing money and effort, and was indeed impeccable.
It’s a pity that when she thought about how the master became like this because of Jiang Youzhen, she couldn’t completely forgive Jiang Youzhen.
"If you are in a hurry for other medicinal herbs, I have them here." Doctor Lu's eyes never left the ginseng, because the quality of this ginseng was really too good.
"Then I'll trouble you, doctor, to calculate the amount of money."
Jiang Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have to run around and it would be okay to spend a little more money.
The candlelight flickered, and Jiang Youzhen lay beside Qian Chongen's bed, drowsy. She was exhausted after a day of running around.
After taking the medicine, Qian Chongen became sleepy again. Doctor Lu said it was normal, but he needed someone to watch him because he was taking strong medicine and they were afraid that something might happen at night.
Kong and Qian Ru suffered a great blow, so Jiang Youzhen asked them to go and rest first and stayed behind to keep watch.
"Young Master, there's a situation." Manager Liu hurried over and said to Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen immediately became very clear-headed, "Send someone to guard the master, and call Doctor Lu if anything happens."
Jiang Youzhen settled the place first before letting Manager Liu lead the way.
"Master, Qing Lang followed Wang Da and found that he took advantage of our people falling asleep and sneaked into the firewood room where Liu Zi was imprisoned, just as you said."
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Youzhen asked immediately.
"Qing Lang was eavesdropping outside and heard Wang Da and Liu Zi saying that Liu Zi had stolen his purse. He was about to attack Liu Zi, but was stopped by Qing Lang and his men."
Jiang Youzhen shook his head. "Even if Wang Da is the murderer behind the scenes, he is just a small fry. How can he be so impatient?"
As they were talking, they had already walked to the woodshed, where Liuzi and Wang Daquan were both tied up.
As soon as Liuzi saw Jiang Youzhen coming in, he started crying for his parents.
"Master Jiang, this Wang Da has gone crazy. He must have framed the master and put the blame on me! I really didn't murder the master. You must believe me!"
Jiang Youzhen ignored Liuzi and looked at Wang Da, whose face was pale.
"Wang Da, why did you sneak into the woodshed so late at night? Did a servant just report that you wanted to kill Liu Zi?"
"Master Jiang, I am innocent! I came to Liuzi because I knew he had taken my money. We had an argument and Liuzi refused to admit it, so I just lost my temper and wanted to teach him a lesson."
"What silver?" Jiang Youzhen's eyes were as sharp as arrows, which made Wang Da feel a bad premonition.
"It is the silver I have saved over the years. The purse in your hand was Liuzi's, but the banknotes in the purse are mine."
"Oh? How do you know there are more than fifty taels of silver in that purse? How do you prove that the silver note is yours?" Jiang Youzhen asked with raised eyebrows.
Wang Da was stunned for a moment, then said, "Because I treasure this banknote very much, I made a mark on it. I drew a circle at the end of the banknote.
The reason why I know that the fifty taels of silver note was taken by Liuzi is because the chef in the kitchen said so. He said that he saw Liuzi go to my house with his own eyes, and that I lost the silver note in the past two days. "
Wang Da's voice gradually rose, "That must be the case. Only Liuzi often came to see me. He also knew that I had money, so he had evil intentions."
"You are slandering me. When did I know you had so much money? That money bag is not mine. I found it at the door of your house. You dropped it by yourself, and you are still accusing me."
Liuzi immediately cursed angrily. He had realized that Wang Da was very suspicious and was trying to pin the crime of murdering the master on him.
"Look! You admitted that you stole my silver, right? It fell at the door of my house, so it must be mine! If you hid it secretly, it would count as stealing." Wang was so angry that his face was ferocious.
"I found it, I didn't steal it."
Jiang Youzhen slammed the table and shouted at the two of them, "Shut up!"
The two of them shut up then. Liuzi wanted to say something but was interrupted by Jiang Youzhen.
"That silver does belong to Wang Da, that's good!" Jiang Youzhen nodded.
Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little ecstatic in his heart.
"But the purse also belongs to Wang Da, so Liuzi didn't lie!" Jiang Youzhen said firmly.
Liuzi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang Da immediately retorted, "That purse is not mine. I just came to question Liuzi about stealing my banknotes."
Jiang Youzhen took out the purse and said, "You can tell whether this purse is yours at first sight."
Wang Da and Liu Zi were both confused by this. Wang Da tried to argue, but Jiang Youzhen said quickly, "As a coachman, you usually tie horses, right? The knot you tied on your belt is the same as the knot on your purse. It's very unique and different from ordinary people."
Manager Liu at the side suddenly realized, "Yes! It is indeed the same, and this knotting method is only known by Wang Hui in the mansion."
"It needs to be quick to untie the knot, but also secure. Not many people know how to tie a slipknot, right?"
Wang Da stared at the knot on the purse and his expression suddenly changed.
"Maybe I remembered it wrongly. This purse is mine, right? I change purses frequently, so I can't remember it!"
"Then let me ask you, how did you, a servant, get more than fifty taels of silver?" Jiang Youzhen walked up to Wang Da and shouted at him.
Wang Da shuddered, "Actually, I found it, but I just couldn't bear to use it."
"I think you won't cry until you see the coffin! We haven't reported it to the police yet, and you are a servant in the mansion. Beating you doesn't count as lynching, right?"
Jiang Youzhen said as he looked at Manager Liu standing beside him, "First give him twenty strokes of the board. If a servant doesn't obey, even beating him to death won't be excessive."
Wang Da was so frightened that his face turned pale. "Master Jiang, please spare my life! I really didn't mean to murder you. I would never dare to do that."
"Master, the cook from the big kitchen tried to run away, but was caught by me." Qingyan came in quickly to report.
"Bring him in!" Jiang Youzhen snorted coldly. These two people were indeed in collusion, and this matter had nothing to do with Liuzi.
Wang Da's face suddenly changed. Jiang Youzhen saw that he was frightened and then sneered.
"Wang Da! You were reluctant to part with the fifty taels of silver because the money bag was picked up by Liu Zi. You were unwilling to accept it, so you came up with a plan. You put the blame on Liu Zi and killed him, creating the illusion that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment, in order to save you and the cook, right?"
