Ying Tian's head arrest investigated the missing person case and found the "Mo Ji snacks" opposite the "wealth".

Xiao Mozi, the owner of the snack bar, said: "Isn't this person in the portrait Tang Ye who won the 'wealth' gamble on the third night of the ninth lunar month?"

The first catcher quickly asked, "Have you seen him, where is he?"

"In the 'fortune', how many times can I see such a big gamble that day?

There was a slight look of disappointment on the face of the first catcher, but he still asked: "Have you only seen it in the 'Fortune' on the third day of the ninth month?

"This ......" Xiao Mozi was also a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while, suddenly slapped his head, and said: "Oh, I remember! The next day, that is, in the early morning of the fourth day of the ninth month, one of my buddies may have seen him." Wait, I'll ask him to question you. He turned around and shouted to the hall: "Si'er, Si'er, come out, a few masters want to ask you!"

"It's coming, it's coming!" the young man ran out of it one after another, and he couldn't help but tremble a little when he saw so many officials. "Boss, are you looking for me?"

Xiao Mozi said: "Don't be afraid, a few officials want to ask if you have seen this person?"

Si'er said, "Is this the Tang Ye?"

The head official seemed to have rekindled hope, "You also went to see the gambling game of 'Caiyuan'?"

Si'er shrank his neck, glanced at Xiao Mozi, and said, "No, no." ”

"Do you know what the crime of not reporting the truth is? I advise you to tell the truth. How do you know that this person's surname is Tang?"

Sure enough, Si'er was frightened, snorted for a while, glanced at Xiao Mozi again, and finally stomped his feet and said: "Alas, I'll say it anyway, it's better to be beaten and deducted wages than to go to jail." ”

Xiao Mozi listened to Si'er with a puzzled look and said: "On the night of the third day of junior high school, it was my turn to watch the store at night - our store was open day and night, and then the boss went to see the gambling game...... But I'll go back to the store right away, and the little third son can testify!"

"What? Are you lazy again?" you ......" Xiao Mozi raised his hand and was about to fight, but he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Then have you seen him again?"

"Yes," Si'er nodded and affirmed: "I looked at the store in the early morning of the fourth day of the new year, and when I woke up at the door of the store, I saw this Tang Ye coming out of the 'wealth'." ”

"He's alone?"

"That's right. ”

"How can you be sure of him?"

"Of course. The lights were bright in the 'fortune' that day, and he was the winner of the whole show, so of course I had to take a closer look at what he looked like. ”

"Isn't 'Caiyuan' also open all night? How can you be sure that among the so many people who came out of Caiyuan in the early morning of the fourth day of the new year, one of them is him?"

"How could there be so many people coming in and out at that time? In the early hours of the morning, those who should have come have already entered the 'Caiyuan', and those who should have left have already gone out of the 'Caiyuan', and most of the rest were having fun in it, and the people who came in and out at that time were the most obvious and easy to recognize, and we were on the opposite side of the 'Caiyuan', and the lantern of the 'Caiyuan' was so bright. ”

The leader exchanged a look with the other officials, and then asked, "Do you remember what time you saw him in the early morning?"

Si'er replied affirmatively: "It should be the end of the ugly end and the beginning of the year." When I came out to nap, I looked up at the spoon star. ”

"In which direction did you see him going?"

Si'er took two steps forward, pointed to the west and said, "Hey, isn't it that lazy alley?"

"He is a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and if he thinks of any clues, he will report them to the yamen. The officials left a message and walked to the lazy alley that Si'er pointed to.

Xiao Mozi nodded and said "Yes, yes, definitely, definitely" with his front foot, and picked up Wang Ba's fist with his back foot, hit Si'er, and scolded: "You lazy bone, I said why are you so sure that person is surnamed Tang, it turns out, it turns out...... I'll tell you to be lazy!I'll tell you to be lazy!" ran into the store after Si'er, who was dodging.

The officials at the mouth of the lazy alley looked back at this scene, pondered in their hearts again, and then looked at the leader of the catcher, who slowly shook his head and said, "It seems to be true." Let's go to the alley and ask. ”

Lazy Alley is not long or short, neither wide nor narrow, one end is connected to Caiyuan Street, where the "Caiyuan" is located, and the other end leads to a street called the West Cross, although there are two small roads at both ends of Caiyuan Street that can lead to the West Cross Street, but the people nearby are still willing to take the shortcut of Lazy Alley. ,

The people living in the alley are all medium-sized families, not too poor, not too rich, just enough to eat and wear. In the afternoon, the hutongs are quieter, most of the residents like to squint after lunch, and only a few men are under the walls of the hutongs, basking in the sun.

The four catchers each held a portrait of Tang Qiuchi, knocking on the door from door to door, although disturbing people's sleep is one of the most hateful things, but the disturbed people did not dare to get angry, and the anger of getting up in their stomachs could only be sent on their wives. As soon as the official went out, everyone was scolding his wife from house to house, which can be said to be a rare sight.

After the officials finished asking dozens of households, two hours had passed. They had reached the end of the alley, and only one was left without asking. On the threshold of the house sat a dirty man with a blue nose and swollen face, full of alcohol, and the officials decided to ignore him and knock on his master's door.

Unexpectedly, the dirty man asked, "What are you doing against you?"

The official replied angrily: "It's none of your business!

The dirty man said: "Why don't you care about me, I will live here." ”

The official couldn't, so he had to open the portrait and ask, "Have you seen this person?"

Who knew that the dirty man jumped up when he saw it, pointed to his face and scolded: "You, you, this is his drip!"

"Tell me what's going on!"

"The day before yesterday, I came back from drinking, and as soon as I entered this alley, I bumped into this person, you think I was drunk at the time, I don't know what Lu Dao said offended him, you see, it will be like this. ”

"Are you awake now?"

"Of course, I just rebelled today, and I didn't drink a sip of wine, I don't believe you smell it, ha-"

"Hey, okay, okay, don't ha, don't ha. ”

"That's the end, I said I didn't drink. ”

"Do you take a closer look at this person? How do you remember when you were drunk that day?"

When the dirty man heard this, he began to jump up again, "Boom! You let people try it like this, you see if you can remember! That day I was drunk, but then he started to shake my wine and woke me up, I was worried that I couldn't see what he looked like, and there was a lantern selling on that street. You wait, if I don't take revenge, I won't be able to find my daughter-in-law for the rest of my life!"

The official asked again, "What time did you meet him?"

“...... It's a moment. ”

"You need to be clear!"

"That's right, it's the hour! There was a street passing by at that time. ”

"Where did he go?"

"That's it. The dirty man stretched out his hand and pointed to the West Cross Street, which was connected to the alley.

The officials glanced at each other and followed the clue. There are people coming and going on the street, there are residents here, and there are also people passing by in other provinces, it is really difficult to trace, but whenever the mountains and rivers are exhausted, there are always willows and flowers. Either a man said that he was driven to sleep on the street by his wife, or a child said that he was looking for a doctor for his mother, or a wonton seller said that the portrait showed that this man had bought him a bowl of wontons, in short, they all saw this man surnamed Tang in the early morning of the fourth day of September. If you ask them how they remember, they'll tell you one reason or another that you can't find the slightest flaw, and if you look suspicious again, they'll swear by it. So the officials followed the instructions of these witnesses, and traced it step by step, and they felt that the truth was about to come out.

"Now, that's where he came from. The last witness stretched out his hand. The officials passed through the small alley, the road suddenly opened up, and a large mansion appeared in front of them, with a plaque that read:

Smoky Cloud Villa.

"Stallhead, look at this ......" led by the catcher Kuai, who reported all the above to Huang Huihu, the head of Yingtianfu's stall, and Huang Huihu was silent in thought.

Sunlight filtered through the edged panes and hit the couch on the small table. The smoke in the incense burner is swirling, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, constantly wandering. Huang Huihu sat sideways on the couch, the leg leaning back on the couch, and the official boots were exposed outside the couch. His face was half illuminated by the light that came through, and half was compatible with the darkness of the inner room.

"What about after that?" asked Huang Huihu.

"The clue is broken here, and I don't know if he finally entered the mansion. ”

"Have you checked the witnesses?"

"Checked. There are people from all walks of life, and they don't know each other, and they haven't seen Tang Qiuchi before, so there should be no problem. ”,

"Okay," Huang Huihu raised his hand and said, "Your government doesn't have to worry about this matter, leave it to Jinyi Wei." ”

“...... Be. "Hurry up and bow back.

Huang Huihu sighed. Suddenly, someone said: "Lord Huang, don't come to harm?"

"Who?"

A man slowly paced out of the darkness until the sun shone below his chest, and his face remained hidden in the darkness. "It's me. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture.

Huang Huihu squinted, and hurriedly got up to return the salute, "It turned out to be Steward Di, who lost his welcome." ”

Steward Di returned the salute again and said, "Tang Qiuchi didn't come back to Yanyun Villa. ”

"Ah, the owner of the village already knows the way?"

Steward Di nodded.

"The owner...... Does the owner have any instructions from his old man?"

"Have you examined all the witnesses?"

"Asked. ”

"Really?" Steward Di's voice couldn't hear the joy or anger, "Where are the reeds in Yixiangyuan?"

Huang Huihu opened his mouth and took a sharp breath, and suddenly said, "Yes." The owner is wise. That...... After ......"

The owner also said that people came from nowhere to find them. ”

"Yes. Huang Huihu bowed, "Send Steward Di." ”

Tuk-tuk.

Tuk-tuk.

"Girl, girl?"

Reed came back to his senses and said, "Come in." What's the matter?"

The girl looked at the reed a few times before she said, "There is a little scholar outside who said he wants to see you." ”

"Nope. It's not like you don't know my rules. ”

"I told him, but he had to tell me about it, and he said that the girl knew who had sent him, and she was allowed to see him. ”

Wei Wei sneered and asked, "Then who sent him?"

"The Emperor's Son. ”

Wei Wei immediately raised her head and stared at the little maid's face, and said, "Huangfu Xi?" Seeing the little maid nodding, she immediately said, "Quickly call him in." ”

The little maid looked at her a few more times, and Wei Wei said, "What do you always stare at me for?"

"No, I just think the girl is a little abnormal these days. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Well......" the little girl pouted and said, "I can't say it well, I just think the girl is happier than before." ”

Wei Wei smiled and said, "What does the little girl know, why don't you go and bring people in." ”

"Hey!" the little girl ran out of the house with a crisp voice.

The reed white skirt is not powdered, but the willow eyebrows are lightly painted, the cloud bun is wonderful, and only a beaded hairpin is inserted on the head. When Hengchuan came in, he saw her sitting next to the table like this, with a smile on her eyebrows, but like a cold plum reflecting snow, the spring frost was beginning to melt.

When Wei Wei saw him come in, he looked at the young man who was standing behind Huang Fuxi on the day of the gambling game, and got up to greet him. Hengchuan saluted and said, "The girl is polite." My father-in-law specially asked me to come to Xie Lu Xie Girl. ”

Wei Wei also blessed Fu is return gift, and said straightly: "The prince of the emperor is polite." The...... What do you call it?"

"Just call me Hengchuan. ”

Wei Wei nodded and said, "You sit, I'll ask the maid to make tea." ”

Hengchuan said: "Don't bother, I'll ......"

Suddenly, a little maid outside the room shouted: "Hey, what are you doing? If you want to see the girl, just wait for me to report it! The people in the government can't be unreasonable!"

A man shouted, "What is the report! Is she really hiding a criminal?"

"Hey, you can't go in......"

The door had been vigorously pushed open, and a fat man with big nostrils to the sky stood in the doorway, dressed in the costume of the chief of the brocade guard, followed by a fan.

Reed was shocked!
