Chapter 341 - 341 Jiajia's Deduction (1)
341 Jiajia’s Deduction (1)
Today was supposed to be a break, but Song Jingchen said that everyone should gather tonight, so there were many people on the training grounds. Not only that, but even the women on the other side of the river came to help prepare dinner.
Everyone was busy washing the vegetables and cutting them.
At this moment, a group of people walked in.
Song Jingchen was in the lead, followed by four generals other than Old General Luo.
Compared to Song Jingchen’s expressionless face, the four generals were all furious.
Behind them was a small group of people tied up.
The group passed through the training grounds and headed straight for the torture chamber.
Those who saw it started discussing.
“Aren’t those people in charge of purchasing the goods?”
“Wang Mangzi is there. There’s no mistake.” Wang Mangzi was a deputy general under Old General Luo.
“Did they commit a crime? Why are they all captured?” This lineup of people was so big. It was obvious that it was not a small matter.
Others didn’t know why Song Jingchen was with the four generals, but Shen Yijia did.
Song Jingchen had been calling the four generals, other than Old General Luo, to the courtyard every day to watch the four of them spar or play chess and chat.
Seeing that they were halfway through their chess game today, Song Jingchen suddenly suggested bringing a team of hunters to hunt and so that they would have extra ingredients for dinner.
Shen Yijia did not go because her period had come these two days. She could only be envious at home.
She even specially asked Mo Yuan to pay attention. When they returned, they heard the news.
Shen Yijia lay weakly on a rattan chair in the courtyard. Song Jingchen had asked Thirty Thousand to send this rattan chair back a few days ago.
Hearing Mo Yuan’s words, she opened her eyes and asked curiously, “Didn’t they say they were going hunting?”
Mo Yuan told her what she had heard from Thirty Thousand.
It turned out that when they went hunting today, they happened to meet the sneaky Wang Mangzi.
Initially, nothing had happened, but Wang Mangzi felt guilty. When he saw them, he did not greet them, but instead he ran away. That was when the trouble started.
Even the people who were about to go out to buy food with Wang Mangzi were captured.
They also dug up a wooden box from where they had seen Wang Mangzi.
After interrogation, Wang Mangzi explained that he had seen Song Jingchen check the accounts, although he didn’t find anything for the time being.
However, he felt guilty. He was afraid that one day, they would find out about him, so he wanted to destroy the accounting records. He did not expect to encounter a group of hunters after digging twice.
Under such a tense situation, he was already guilty.
When he saw them, his first reaction was that he had been exposed. The Eldest Young Master had personally brought people out to capture him, so he had to run away quickly.
How could there be such a coincidence? Why didn’t Shen Yijia believe it?
She rubbed her chin and pondered for a long time. A few images flashed through her mind. She slapped her forehead. Why was she so stupid?
She knew it. Her beautiful husband clearly knew that she didn’t know how to read accounting ledgers, so why would he still ask her for help?
The audit was just for show.
No wonder Song Jingchen kept telling her to lie down and rest when she was tired. It didn’t matter if she couldn’t finish it.
In the end, she thought about how Song Jingchen trusted her so much. It wasn’t easy for her to help out, but she was meticulous and conscientious when checking the ledgers.
She was a little depressed when she didn’t discover any problems, but Song Jingchen already had evidence.
After that, he imitated Old General Luo’s handwriting and sent a message to Wang Mangzi, asking him to dig up the ledgers and destroy them.
Song Jingchen brought his men to hunt and caught them red-handed.
It had to be said that Shen Yijia had already pieced together most of it.
Actually, Song Jingchen wanted to say something about checking the accounts, but seeing that Shen Yijia was serious for once, he couldn’t bear to dampen her enthusiasm.
How did Shen Yijia know that Song Jingchen was imitating someone’s handwriting? She had seen Song Jingchen practicing calligraphy several times when she woke up.
She took a look and realized that the handwriting wasn’t Song Jingchen’s.
Moreover, Wang Mangzi did not dare to expose Old General Luo, so he admitted it himself. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain himself.
Just as everyone was discussing, Old General Luo rushed to the torture chamber.
At this moment, Wang Mangzi had already been beaten until his skin and flesh were lacerated. Looking at the account book placed there, Old General Luo knew that something was wrong.
He did not know why these things had been dug up, but it had something to do with Wang Mangzi.
Wang Mangzi’s mouth was gagged. When he saw Old General Luo, the person who was on the verge of death suddenly struggled violently.
