The official did not bring everyone back to the yamen, but investigated the case on the spot according to the instructions of the official master. Gathered everyone into the hall of the inn, with the booklet of the shopkeeper and a list of stolen and non-stolen guests.

There were two men who lost the money, one lean and the other fat-headed and big-eared. Although the difference in body is very large, the two of them have a common characteristic, that is, at a glance, they know that these two are not good cakes, and they smell of copper.

The two of them stared at the guests who had not been stolen in unison, as if they wanted to see which one was the thief, so they immediately pounced.

Xiaomi stood behind Cao Chengyan, looked at the two unlucky bastards, and said in his heart that he deserved it, deserved it, and really deserved it. She suddenly felt that the two thieves who used incense last night were really good, really discerning.

At this time, the people who looked like masters in the yamen took a roll call according to the list, and beckoned those who had not been stolen to come forward and answer.

Although the person who answered was glad that he was lucky, he didn't know if he would let himself leave this place after the official asked.

The official is also in his forties, and his big round face is very majestic. Xiaomi looked at his official uniform and guessed that this was an official position of several grades.

In such a town, the official position should not be much bigger, not a nine-grade sesame official, at most an eight-grade one!

In any case, Xiaomi's impression of him is not bad. At least, they weren't so confused as to bring them all back to the yamen. At least, I came to the scene in person after receiving the report.

"Wait until I ask you, don't panic, don't be afraid." Cao Chengyan turned around to comfort his grandson and Xiaomi, looking at the two children who were of the same age, but there was a big difference in reaction, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Obviously he is his grandson, and he has seen some of the world, you know, just to exercise his grandson's courage, when he met the Yamen trial, he led his grandson to audit a few times.

But now? The grandson's nervousness is not only on his face, but also the hand holding his belt is trembling slightly.

And the kid who is smaller than his grandson and shorter in stature, although on the surface, also looks a little nervous. However, Cao Chengyan believed in his eyes, how could this kid's nervousness seem to be excited?

Not to mention, Cao Chengyan really didn't make a mistake. At this time, Xiaomi was not very excited, she was really curious about what this official could find out.

As for being nervous, she just doesn't want to waste time here, what if things get bigger, there are many people watching the excitement, and she meets an acquaintance in Yunling Town?

You must know that Luo Qinghai's business, although it does not develop in the capital. But the merchants who have business dealings with his family are all going anywhere.

I followed Luo Qinghai to negotiate business with customers a lot of times, and Xiaomi now regrets that he used to appear too many times on such occasions, which is not a good thing.

Soon, I asked Cao Chengyan and his party. It's not bad, the old man looked at the old and young people in front of him, asked a few questions, and then asked them to step aside and wait.

After asking around, the official took the tea offered by the innkeeper himself, took a few sips, closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, as if he was resting.

However, everyone knows that the official master is thinking about the problem. Therefore, even if the silver is lost, it is still not lost, and no one dares to squeak, and they wait honestly one by one.

At this time, a servant walked into the hall and whispered something in the ear of the official.

The official man nodded lightly when he heard this, but his eyes were not idle, looking at the people on both sides, his eyes stopped on Cao Chengyan's grandson.

picked up the registration book on the table and looked at it, and when he looked up again, his eyes were still on Cao Chengyan's side; "You're the one who lives at No. 5, right?" He asked.

"Back to my lord, yes." Cao Chengyan didn't understand why he suddenly asked himself like this, but he couldn't ask back, he could only answer honestly.

"Everyone, please be calm and don't be impatient, go back to your respective rooms first, and let you leave after the official checks again." The official spoke.

Cao Chengyan was about to lead his grandson and millet back to the room, but he heard the official speak again; "Stay for the time being." The guests who were already walking couldn't help but look back, and they were all curious, could this old man be a thief? Doesn't look like it? Is it really that people are not disfigured?

They wanted to stay and see what was going on, but looking at the strict official, they didn't dare.

"Okay, so you're an old thing?" The two thieves immediately rushed towards Cao Chengyan.

"Stop, you haven't opened your mouth yet, what do you want to do?" The two officials stepped forward to stop them, shouting loudly.

"It's them, hurry up and search their luggage." The two of them, one fat and one thin, reminded anxiously, as if they wanted to see their lost money immediately, as if they were late, as if they were late.

Cao Chengyan was originally left behind, and his heart was up and down. Now I listen to the look of the fat and the thin two people on themselves, that is, they suspect that they are thieves?

"What are you talking about?" Cao Chengyan replied with annoyance.

The official frowned, and glanced at the official beside him, and the official stepped forward to invite the two out of the hall.

"Old man, please remember carefully, what was unusual last night?" The official master's attitude towards Cao Chengyan was not blunt and asked.

"Back to my lord, the old man and his grandson are tired and rushing all the way, and they are already very tired. After washing, I fell asleep as soon as my head was close to the pillow, and I didn't know what was abnormal. Cao Chengyan replied a little anxiously.

Cao Yun saw that everyone else was gone, so he left his own few people, and he was a little scared.

And the millet beside him, his brain is also thinking quickly about what's going on? Where the hell did the fork go? Could it be?

"Back to the adults, the little ones remembered, there seemed to be a hole in the window of the room where we lived." Xiaomi looked at Cao Chengyan's angry and anxious appearance, and couldn't bear to speak.

There was indeed a small hole in the window paper, the handiwork of the two thieves. Otherwise, where does the pipe of the incense come into the house?

When the two thieves left, Xiaomi thought about whether to dispose of the small hole in the window paper. However, after thinking about it, I couldn't.

If you do that, you may end up with a lot of trouble. The people of the yamen have been checking at the inn for almost a morning, and the experienced and careful officials will not miss this suspicious point.

"Holes in the window paper? Did you enter the room last night when the window paper was still fine? Are you sure? "The official master saw that it was a kid who spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he got to the point, so he asked.

Xiaomi nodded vigorously, indicating certainty...... R1152
